                        REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI
                      (a California limited partnership)

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 2001


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The information  contained in the following notes to the financial statements is
condensed  from  that  which  would  appear  in  the  audited  annual  financial
statements;  accordingly,  the financial  statements  included  herein should be
reviewed in conjunction with the financial  statements and related notes thereto
contained in the annual report for the year ended  December 31, 2000 prepared by
Real  Estate  Associates  Limited  VI  and  Subsidiaries  (the   "Partnership").
Accounting  measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on
estimates  than at year end. The results of operations  for the interim  periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

In  the  opinion  of  the  Partnership,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  contain all adjustments  (consisting  primarily of normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Partnership
at June 30, 2001 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the
three and six months then ended.

The  general  partners  have a 1 percent  interest  in profits and losses of the
Partnership.  The limited  partners have the remaining 99 percent interest which
is allocated in proportion to their respective individual investments.  National
Partnership  Investments  Corp.  (NAPICO) is the managing general partner of the
Partnership.  Casden  Properties Inc. owns a 95.25% economic interest in NAPICO,
with the balance owned by Casden Investment  Corporation ("CIC").  CIC, which is
wholly owned by Alan I. Casden, owns 95% of the voting common stock of NAPICO.

Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been prepared in conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States of America requires  management to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial  statements and reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of Real Estate
Associates  Limited  VI  and  its  majority-owned   general   partnership.   All
significant  intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in
consolidation.

Method of Accounting for Investment in the Unconsolidated Limited Partnerships

The investments in unconsolidated  limited partnerships are accounted for on the
equity method. Acquisition, selection and other costs related to the acquisition
of the projects are capitalized as part of the investment  account and are being
amortized on a straight  line basis over the estimated  lives of the  underlying
assets, which is generally 30 years.

Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Interest

Net loss per limited  partnership  interest was computed by dividing the limited
partners'  share of net loss by the  number  of  limited  partnership  interests
outstanding during the period. The number of limited  partnership  interests was
16,810 for the periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents  consist of unrestricted cash and bank certificates of
deposit with  maturities of three months or less. The  Partnership  has its cash
and cash equivalents on deposit with high credit quality financial institutions.
Such cash and cash equivalents are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Income Taxes

No  provision  has been  made for  income  taxes in the  accompanying  financial
statements  since  such  taxes,  if any,  are the  liability  of the  individual
partners.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The  Partnership  reviews  long-lived  assets to determine if there has been any
permanent  impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances  indicate that
the  carrying  amount  of the asset  may not be  recoverable.  If the sum of the
expected future cash flows is less than the carrying  amount of the assets,  the
Partnership recognizes an impairment loss.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

The Partnership holds limited partnership  interests in 20 limited  partnerships
as of June 30,  2001.  In  addition,  the  Partnership  holds a general  partner
interest  in REA III,  which in  turn,  holds  limited  partner  interests  in 3
additional  limited  partnerships.  In total,  therefore,  the Partnership holds
interests,  either  directly or indirectly  through REA III, in 23  partnerships
located in 13 different states, which owned as of June 30, 2001, residential low
income rental projects  consisting of 1,369 apartment  units. The mortgage loans
of these projects are payable to or insured by various governmental agencies.

The Partnership,  as a limited partner, is entitled to between 90 percent and 99
percent of the profits and losses of the limited partnerships it has invested in
directly.  The  Partnership  is also entitled to 99.9 percent of the profits and
losses of REA III.  REA III holds a 99 percent  interest  in each of the limited
partnerships in which it has invested.

Equity in losses of  unconsolidated  limited  partnerships  is recognized in the
financial statements until the limited partnership investment account is reduced
to a zero balance or to a negative amount equal to further capital contributions
required.  Losses incurred after the limited  partnership  investment account is
reduced to zero are not recognized.  The cumulative  amount of the  unrecognized
equity in losses of  unconsolidated  limited  partnerships  was in the aggregate
approximately  $11,612,000  and $11,357,000 as of June 30, 2001 and December 31,
2000, respectively.

Distributions from the unconsolidated  limited partnerships are accounted for as
a return of capital until the investment balance is reduced to zero.  Subsequent
distributions received are recognized as income.

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  investment  in  unconsolidated  limited
partnerships for the six months ended June 30, 2001:


           Balance, beginning of period                    $ 541,072
           Equity in loss of limited partnerships           (326,413)
           Advances to limited partnerships                  349,288
           Distribution recognized as a return of

The following are unaudited combined estimated  statements of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 of the unconsolidated  limited

NAPICO, or one of its affiliates, is the general partner and property management
agent  for  certain  of the  limited  partnerships  included  above.  The  Local
Partnerships  pay the  affiliate  property  management  fees in the  amount of 5
percent of their gross rental  revenues and data  processing  fees.  The amounts
paid were approximately $61,613 for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Under recent adopted law and policy, the United States Department of Housing and
Urban  Development  ("HUD") has determined  not to renew the Housing  Assistance
Payment  ("HAP")  Contracts  on a long  term  basis on the  existing  terms.  In
connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under such new law and policy, the
amount of rental  assistance  payments under renewed HAP Contracts will be based
on market rentals instead of above market  rentals,  which may be the case under
existing HAP Contracts.  The payments under the renewed HAP Contracts may not be
in an amount  that  would  provide  sufficient  cash  flow to  permit  owners of
properties  subject to HAP  Contracts to meet the debt service  requirements  of
existing  loans  insured by the Federal  Housing  Administration  of HUD ("FHA")
unless such mortgage loans are  restructured.  In order to address the reduction
in payments under HAP Contracts as a result of this new policy, the Multi-family
Assisted  Housing Reform and  Affordability  Act of 1997  ("MAHRAA"),  which was
adopted in October  1997,  provides  for the  restructuring  of  mortgage  loans
insured by the FHA with respect to properties  subject to the Section 8 program.
Under MAHRAA,  an  FHA-insured  mortgage loan can be  restructured  into a first
mortgage  loan which will be  amortized  on a current  basis and a low  interest
second  mortgage  loan  payable to FHA which will only be payable on maturity of
the first mortgage  loan.  This  restructuring  results in a reduction in annual
debt  service  payable  by the  owner of the  FHA-insured  mortgage  loan and is
expected  to  result  in an  insurance  payment  from FHA to the  holder  of the
FHA-insured  loan due to the  reduction  in the  principal  amount.  MAHRAA also
phases out project-based  subsidies on selected  properties serving families not
located in rental markets with limited  supply,  converting  such subsidies to a
tenant-based subsidy.

When the HAP  Contracts are subject to renewal,  there can be no assurance  that
the local limited  partnerships  in which the Partnership has an investment will
be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness under MAHRAA. In addition,
the  economic  impact  on the  Partnership  of the  combination  of the  reduced
payments  under  the  HAP  Contracts  and  the  restructuring  of  the  existing
FHA-insured mortgage loans under MAHRAA is uncertain.

On December 30, 1998, after obtaining the consent of the limited  partners,  the
Partnership  sold  its  limited   partnership   interest  in  10  local  limited
partnerships and its general partner  interest in one local general  partnership
to subsidiaries of Casden  Properties Inc. The sale resulted in cash proceeds to
the  Partnership  of $1,397,081  which was collected in 1999. In March 1999, the
Partnership  made cash  distributions  of $2,769,110 to the limited partners and
$27,971 to the general  partners,  primarily using proceeds from the sale of the
partnership interests.

NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE AND AMOUNTS DUE FOR PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

Certain of the  Partnership's  investments  involved  purchases  of  partnership
interests   from   partners  who   subsequently   withdrew  from  the  operating
partnership.  The  purchase of these  interests  provides  for  additional  cash
payments of  approximately  $325,000 based upon specified  events as outlined in
the purchase  agreements.  Such amounts have been  recorded as  liabilities.  In
addition,  the  Partnership  is  obligated  on  non-recourse  notes  payable  of
$1,440,000  which bear  interest  at 9.5  percent  per annum and have  principal
maturities ranging from December 1999 to December 2012.

The notes and  related  interest  are  payable  from  cash flow  generated  from
operations  of the  related  rental  properties  as defined in the notes.  These
obligations are  collateralized by the Partnership's  investments in the limited
partnerships. Unpaid interest is due at maturity of the notes.

Maturity dates of the notes payable and related accrued interest are as follows:

                                                                Accrued
             Year Ending December 31,            Notes         Interest
                       2001                    $ 520,000      $ 823,087
                       2002                           --             --
                       2003                           --             --
                       2004                           --             --
                       2005                      750,000        947,334
                    Thereafter                   170,000        362,779

                                               $1,440,000     $2,133,200

Notes and related accrued interest  payable,  aggregating  $1,343,087 as of June
30, 2001 became payable in 1999.

Management  is in the process of  attempting  to  negotiate  an extension of the
maturity date on the past due note payable.

NOTE 4 - MANAGEMENT FEES AND EXPENSES DUE TO GENERAL PARTNER

Under  the  terms  of  the  Restated   Certificate   and  Agreement  of  Limited
Partnership, the Partnership is obligated to NAPICO for an annual management fee
of  approximately  .4 percent of the  original  invested  assets of the  limited
partnerships.  Invested  assets are  defined as the costs of  acquiring  project
interests,  including the proportionate  amount of the mortgage loans related to
the   Partnership's   interests  in  the  capital  accounts  of  the  respective
partnerships.  This fee was  approximately  $103,217  and  $131,000  for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The Partnership  reimburses  NAPICO for certain  expenses.  The reimbursement to
NAPICO was  approximately  $11,370 and $20,600 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000,  respectively,  and is  included  in general  and  administrative
expenses.

NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES

On August 27, 1998, two investors holding an aggregate of eight units of limited
partnership  interests  in Real Estate  Associates  Limited  III (an  affiliated
partnership in which NAPICO is the managing  general  partner) and two investors
holding  an  aggregate  of five  units of limited  partnership  interest  in the
Partnership  commenced  an action in the United  States  District  Court for the
Central District of California against the Partnership, NAPICO and certain other
affiliated  entities.  The complaint alleges that the defendants  breached their
fiduciary duty to the limited  partners of certain  NAPICO managed  partnerships
and made materially false and misleading  statements in the consent solicitation
statements  sent to the  limited  partners  of  such  partnerships  relating  to
approval  of the  transfer of  partnership  interests  in limited  partnerships,
owning  certain of the  properties,  to  affiliates of Casden  Properties  Inc.,
organized by an affiliate of NAPICO.  The plaintiffs seek equitable  relief,  as
well as  compensatory  damages and litigation  related costs. On August 4, 1999,
one  investor  holding  one unit of  limited  partnership  interest  in  Housing
Programs  Limited  commenced a virtually  identical  action in the United States
District Court for the Central  District of California  against the Partnership,
NAPICO and certain  other  affiliated  entities.  NAPICO,  the managing  general
partner  of such  partnerships,  and  the  other  defendants  believe  that  the
plaintiffs' claims are without merit and are contesting the actions vigorously.

The managing  general partner of the Partnership is involved in various lawsuits
and have also been named defendants in other lawsuits arising from  transactions
in the  ordinary  course of  business.  In the  opinion  of  management  and the
corporate general partner,  the claims will not result in any material liability
to the Partnership.

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 107,  "Disclosure  about Fair
Value of Financial  Instruments,"  requires disclosure of fair value information
about financial instruments,  when it is practicable to estimate that value. The
mortgage  notes  payable  are  insured  by HUD  and  are  collateralized  by the
Partnership's  investments in investee limited partnerships and are payable only
out of  cash  distributions  from  the  investee  partnerships.  The  operations
generated  by the property and  investee  limited  partnerships,  are subject to
various   government   rules,   regulations  and  restrictions   which  make  it
impracticable  to estimate the fair value of the  mortgage  note payable and the
notes payable and related accrued interest.  The carrying amount of other assets
and  liabilities  reported on the balance  sheets that require  such  disclosure
approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity.



ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's primary sources of funds include interest income on short term
investments and distributions from limited partnerships in which the Partnership
has invested.  It is not expected that any of the local limited  partnerships in
which the Partnership has invested will generate cash flow sufficient to provide
for  distributions to limited  partners in any material amount.  The Partnership
made a  distribution  to investors in June 30, 2001,  previously  using proceeds
from the disposition of its investments in certain limited partnerships.

Results of Operations

Rental operations consist primarily of rental income and depreciations  expense,
debt  service,  and  normal  operating  expenses  to  maintain  the  properties.
Variances in rental operations from the prior year to the current year relate to
the sale of the Drexel property.

Partnership revenues consist primarily of interest income earned on certificates
of deposit and other  temporary  investment of funds not required for investment
in local partnerships.

Operating  expenses consist  primarily of recurring  general and  administrative
expenses and  professional  fees for services  rendered to the  Partnership.  In
addition, an annual Partnership management fee in an amount equal to 0.4 percent
of invested assets is payable to the corporate general partner.

The Partnership  accounts for its investments in the local limited  partnerships
on  the  equity  method,   thereby  adjusting  its  investment  balance  by  its
proportionate  share of the  income or loss of the local  limited  partnerships.
Losses incurred after the limited  partnership  investment account is reduced to
zero are not recognized in accordance with the equity accounting method.

Distributions  received from limited  partnerships  are  recognized as return of
capital until the  investment  balance has been reduced to zero or to a negative
amount equal to future capital contributions required.  Subsequent distributions
received are recognized as income.

Except for  certificates  of deposit and money market funds,  the  Partnership's
investments   are  entirely   from   interests  in  other  limited  and  general
partnerships owning government assisted projects.  Available cash is invested in
these funds earning interest income as reflected in the statement of operations.
These funds can be converted to cash to meet obligations as they arise.

Under recent adopted law and policy, the United States Department of Housing and
Urban  Development  ("HUD") has determined  not to renew the Housing  Assistance
Payment  ("HAP")  Contracts  on a long  term  basis on the  existing  terms.  In
connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under such new law and policy, the
amount of rental  assistance  payments under renewed HAP Contracts will be based
on market rentals instead of above market  rentals,  which may be the case under
existing HAP Contracts.  The payments under the renewed HAP Contracts may not be
in an amount  that  would  provide  sufficient  cash  flow to  permit  owners of
properties  subject to HAP  Contracts to meet the debt service  requirements  of
existing  loans  insured by the Federal  Housing  Administration  of HUD ("FHA")
unless such mortgage loans are  restructured.  In order to address the reduction
in payments under HAP Contracts as a result of this new policy, the Multi-family
Assisted  Housing Reform and  Affordability  Act of 1997  ("MAHRAA"),  which was
adopted in October  1997,  provides  for the  restructuring  of  mortgage  loans
insured by the FHA with respect to properties  subject to the Section 8 program.
Under MAHRAA,  an  FHA-insured  mortgage loan can be  restructured  into a first
mortgage  loan which will be  amortized  on a current  basis and a low  interest
second  mortgage  loan  payable to FHA which will only be payable on maturity of
the first mortgage  loan.  This  restructuring  results in a reduction in annual
debt  service  payable  by the  owner of the  FHA-insured  mortgage  loan and is
expected  to  result  in an  insurance  payment  from FHA to the  holder  of the
FHA-insured  loan due to the  reduction  in the  principal  amount.  MAHRAA also
phases out project-based  subsidies on selected  properties serving families not
located in rental markets with limited  supply,  converting  such subsidies to a
tenant-based subsidy.

When the HAP  Contracts are subject to renewal,  there can be no assurance  that
the local limited  partnerships  in which the Partnership has an investment will
be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness under MAHRAA. In addition,
the  economic  impact  on the  Partnership  of the  combination  of the  reduced
payments  under  the  HAP  Contracts  and  the  restructuring  of  the  existing
FHA-insured mortgage loans under MAHRAA is uncertain.

On December 30, 1998, the Partnership sold its limited partnership  interests in
10 local  limited  partnerships  and its general  partner  interest in one local
general  partnership to subsidiaries of Casden Properties Inc. The sale resulted
in cash proceeds to the Partnership of $1,397,081 which was collected subsequent
to year  end.  In  March  1999,  the  Partnership  made  cash  distributions  of
$2,769,110  to  the  limited  partners  and  $27,971  to the  general  partners,
primarily using proceeds from the sale of the partnership interests.

Notes and related accrued interest  payable,  aggregating  $1,343,087 as of June
30, 2001 became payable in 1999.

Management  is in the process of  attempting  to  negotiate  an extension of the
maturity date on the past due note payable.



                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On August 27, 1998, two investors holding an aggregate of eight units of limited
partnership  interests  in Real Estate  Associates  Limited  III (an  affiliated
partnership in which NAPICO is the managing  general  partner) and two investors
holding  an  aggregate  of five  units of limited  partnership  interest  in the
Partnership  commenced  an action in the United  States  District  Court for the
Central District of California against the Partnership, NAPICO and certain other
affiliated  entities.  The complaint alleges that the defendants  breached their
fiduciary duty to the limited  partners of certain  NAPICO managed  partnerships
and made materially false and misleading  statements in the consent solicitation
statements  sent to the  limited  partners  of  such  partnerships  relating  to
approval  of the  transfer of  partnership  interests  in limited  partnerships,
owning  certain of the  properties,  to  affiliates of Casden  Properties  Inc.,
organized by an affiliate of NAPICO.  The plaintiffs seek equitable  relief,  as
well as  compensatory  damages and litigation  related costs. On August 4, 1999,
one  investor  holding  one unit of  limited  partnership  interest  in  Housing
Programs  Limited  commenced a virtually  identical  action in the United States
District Court for the Central  District of California  against the Partnership,
NAPICO and certain  other  affiliated  entities.  NAPICO,  the managing  general
partner  of such  partnerships,  and  the  other  defendants  believe  that  the
plaintiffs' claims are without merit and are contesting the actions vigorously.

The Partnership's managing general partner is involved in various lawsuits. None
of these lawsuits are related to the Partnership.
