PART I
Item 1. Business
-----------------
Balcor Pension Investors-VI (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership formed
in 1984 under the laws of the State of Illinois. The Registrant raised
$345,640,500 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests. The Registrant's
operations consist of investment in first mortgage loans and, to a lesser
extent, wrap-around mortgage loans and junior mortgage loans. The Registrant
is also currently operating eleven properties and holds minority joint venture
interests with affiliates in three other properties. All financial information
in this report relates to this industry segment.
The Registrant originally funded thirty-one loans. A portion of the Mortgage
Reductions generated by loan prepayments has been distributed to Limited
Partners and the remainder was added to working capital reserves. As a result
of the repayments, foreclosures and write-off of thirty loans, the Registrant
has one loan remaining in its portfolio as of December 31, 1994. Thirteen
properties and two minority joint ventures with affiliates were acquired
through foreclosure and an additional minority joint venture interest with
affiliate was purchased. The Registrant sold two of the properties. The
Registrant has eleven properties and three investments in joint ventures with
affiliates as of December 31, 1994. See Item 2. Properties for additional
information.
The commercial real estate industry is beginning to emerge from several years
of decline and re-structuring. Office properties have begun to emerge from the
effects of overbuilding and corporate downsizing. Effective rents and occupancy
levels began to increase nationally in 1994 and some markets are experiencing a
shortage of large blocks of contiguous space. With new construction expected to
remain at a minimum for 1995, office market conditions are expected to continue
their upward performance for the next year.
During 1994, institutionally owned and managed multi-family residential
properties in many markets continued to experience favorable operating
conditions combined with relatively low levels of new construction. These
favorable operating conditions were supported by the strong pattern of national
economic growth which contributed to job growth and rising income levels in
most local economies. However, some rental markets continue to remain extremely
competitive; therefore, the General Partner's goals are to maintain high
occupancy levels, while increasing rents where possible, and to monitor and
control operating expenses and capital improvement requirements at the
properties. All of the Registrant's properties generated positive cash flow
during 1994.
The Registrant disposed of its investment in two properties in 1994 that were
classified as real estate held for sale in 1993. See Note 11 of Notes to
Financial Statements for additional information.
In February 1994, the Registrant received prepayments on two loans receivable.
See Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information.
In May 1994, the Registrant prepaid the mortgage loan payable on the Woodscape
Apartments. See Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional
information.
During January 1995, the Registrant and an affiliate placed the Jonathan's
Landing loan in default and accelerated the loan. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings
for additional information.
In February 1995, the Registrant and three affiliates acquired title to the 45
West 45th Street office building through foreclosure. See Item 3. Legal
Proceedings for additional information.
The Registrant, by virtue of its ownership of real estate acquired through
foreclosure, is subject to federal and state laws and regulations covering
various environmental issues. Management of the Registrant utilizes the
services of environmental consultants to assess a wide range of environmental
issues and to conduct tests for environmental contamination as appropriate. The
General Partner is not aware of any potential liability due to environmental
issues or conditions that would be material to the Registrant.
The officers and employees of Balcor Mortgage Advisors-VI, the General Partner
of the Registrant, and its affiliates perform services for the Registrant. The
Registrant currently has no employees engaged in its operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
--------------------------
a) Williams class action
---------------------
In February 1990, a proposed class-action complaint was filed, Paul Williams
and Beverly Kennedy, et al. vs. Balcor Pension Investors, et al., Case No.: 90-
C-0726 (U. S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois) against the
Registrant, the General Partner, The Balcor Company, Shearson Lehman Hutton,
Inc., American Express Company, other affiliates, and seven affiliated limited
partnerships (the "Related Partnerships") as defendants. The complaint alleges
that the defendants violated Federal securities laws as to the adequacy and
accuracy of disclosure of information in the offering of limited partnership
interests of the Registrant and the Related Partnerships and alleges breach of
fiduciary duty, fraud, negligence and violations under the Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations Act. The complaint seeks compensatory and punitive
damages. The defendants filed their answer, affirmative defenses and a
counterclaim to the complaint. The defendants' counterclaim asserts claims of
fraud and breach of warranty against certain plaintiffs, as well as a request
for declaratory relief regarding the defendants' rights to be indemnified for
their expenses incurred in defending the litigation. The defendants seek to
recover damages to their reputations and business as well as costs and
attorneys' fees in defending the claims.
In May 1993, the Court issued an order denying the plaintiffs' motion for class
certification based principally on the inadequacy of the individual plaintiffs
representing the proposed class. However, the Court gave plaintiffs leave to
propose new individual class representatives. Further, the Court granted the
defendants' motion for sanctions and ordered that plaintiffs' counsel pay
certain of the defendants' attorneys' fees incurred with the class
certification motion. In January 1995, the Court ordered the plaintiffs'
counsel to pay $75,000 to the defendants and $25,000 to the Court.
The plaintiffs retained new co-counsel and proposed new class representatives.
In July 1994, the Court granted plaintiffs' motion certifying a class relating
to the Federal securities fraud claims. The class certified by the Court
includes only the original investors in the Registrant and the Related
Partnerships. The defendants filed a motion for reconsideration in opposition
to the class certification which was denied on December 21, 1994. The Court
has ordered the parties to meet to discuss notice to the class and a schedule
for discovery.
A motion filed by the plaintiffs seeking to dismiss the defendants'
counterclaim for fraud was denied by the Court in August 1994.
The defendants intend to continue vigorously contesting this action. Management
of each of the defendants believes they have meritorious defenses to contest
the claims.
Jonathan's Landing Apartments
-----------------------------
In 1987, Balcor Mortgage Advisors, Inc. ("BMA"), acting as nominee for the
Registrant and an affiliate, funded a $23,500,000 loan evidenced by a
promissory note and collateralized by a first mortgage on Jonathan's Landing
Apartments. The Registrant's share of the loan was $11,045,000 for a
participating percentage of 47%.
In November 1994, the borrower, without notice to or consent from BMA, as
required by the loan, sold the property to a third party. On January 5, 1995,
BMA placed the loan in default and accelerated the loan. The loan was not
repaid and on January 24, 1995, BMA commenced proceedings in the Superior Court
of King County, Washington (Balcor Mortgage Advisors, Inc. vs. Executive Life
Insurance Co., et al., Case No.: 95-2019811) and filed a motion for the
appointment of a receiver to manage the property and for enforcement of the
assignment of rents. The motion was denied on February 27, 1995.
The Registrant and affiliate are currently negotiating with the new owner. If
unsuccessful, the Registrant and affiliate may proceed with a non-judicial
foreclosure of the property.
45 West 45th Street office building
-----------------------------------
In 1988 and 1989, Balcor Mortgage Advisors, Inc., acting as nominee for the
Registrant and three affiliates (together, the "Participants"), funded a
$23,000,000 loan to 45 West 45th Street Associates, collateralized by a first
priority lien on the 45 West 45th Street office building, New York City, New
York (the "Property"). The Registrant's share of the loan is $9,500,000, for a
participating percentage of approximately 41%.
In 1991, the loan was placed in default due to the failure of the borrower to
make payments due under the loan. After modification negotiations were
unsuccessful, the borrower agreed to an uncontested foreclosure (Balcor
Mortgage Advisors, Inc., vs. 45 W. 45th Street Associates, Supreme Court of the
State of New York, City of New York, Case No.: 128631/94). The Participants
were the successful bidder at the foreclosure sale and, on February 2, 1995, a
limited partnership in which each of the Participants holds an interest equal
to its participating percentage in the loan obtained title to the Property.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
Summary of Operations
---------------------
Balcor Pension Investors-VI (the "Partnership") received prepayments on two
loans in 1994 and three loans in 1993, leading to a significant decrease in net
interest income on loans receivable, and recognized a gain on the sale of
Winchester Mall in 1993, which have resulted in a decrease in net income in
1994 as compared to 1993. This decrease was partially offset by improved
operations at several of the Partnership's properties, participation income
received in connection with the loan prepayments and lower provisions for
losses on loans and real estate.
During 1993, the provision for potential losses on loans and real estate
decreased significantly, which resulted in an increase in net income during
1993 as compared to 1992. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
summarized below.
Operations
----------
1994 Compared to 1993
---------------------
As a result of the prepayment of two loans in 1994 and three loans in 1993,
interest income on loans receivable, and consequently mortgage servicing fees,
decreased during 1994 as compared to 1993. Interest on loans payable -
underlying mortgages ceased in 1994 due to the prepayment of the Miami Free
Zone loan in 1993. As of December 31, 1994, the Jonathan's Landing Apartments
loan was on non-accrual status. The funds advanced by the Partnership for this
non-accrual loan totalled approximately $11,045,000, representing approximately
4% of original funds advanced. For non-accrual loans, income is recorded only
as cash payments are received from the borrowers. During 1994, the Partnership
received cash payments of interest income totaling approximately $881,300 on
this loan, as required under the terms of the loan agreement.
Income from operations of real estate held for sale represents the net property
operations generated by the eleven remaining properties the Partnership has
acquired through foreclosure. Original funds advanced by the Partnership
totalled approximately $145,000,000 for these eleven real estate investments.
Income from operations of real estate held for sale increased during 1994 as
compared to 1993 due to improved operations at five of the properties, but in
particular at the Perimeter 400 Center office complex where rental income
increased in 1994 due to significant leasing activity in 1993.
The 1993 and 1994 loan prepayments resulted in an increase in cash available
for investment, and correspondingly, an increase in interest income on short-
term investments during 1994 as compared to 1993.
Participation income is recognized from participations in cash flow from
properties securing certain of the Partnership's loans. The Partnership's loans
generally bear interest at contractually fixed interest rates. Some loans also
provide for additional interest in the form of participations, usually
consisting of either a share in the capital appreciation of the property
securing the Partnership's loan and/or a share in the increase of gross income
of the property above a certain level. The Partnership received participation
income in connection with loan prepayments totaling $3,000,000 in 1994 and
approximately $933,000 in 1993.
A prepayment premium of $210,000 was also received in 1993 in connection with
the prepayment of the Pinellas Cascade, Land of Lakes Pinellas Park loan.
Allowances are charged to income when the General Partner believes an
impairment has occurred, either in a borrower's ability to repay the loan or in
the value of the collateral property. Determinations of fair value are made
periodically on the basis of performance under the terms of the loan agreement
and assessments of property operations. Determinations of fair value represent
estimations based on many variables which affect the value of real estate,
including economic and demographic conditions. The Partnership recognized no
provision for loans in 1994 and a provision of $600,000 in 1993. In addition,
the Partnership recognized a provision of $3,900,000 in 1994 and a provision of
$4,065,000 in 1993, related to the Partnership's real estate held for sale to
provide for declines in the fair value of certain properties in the
Partnership's portfolio.
During 1993, the Partnership incurred leasing commissions in connection with
leases signed at four of its commercial properties which resulted in an
increase in amortization of deferred expenses during 1994 as compared to 1993.
Participation in income (loss) of joint ventures with affiliates represents the
Partnership's share of the operations of the Sand Pebble Village and Sand
Pebble Village II apartment complexes and the 45 West 45th Street office
building. The Partnership recognized its share of a decline in the fair values
of the Sand Pebble Village during 1994 and 1993 and the 45 West 45th Street
office building during 1993. As a result, the Partnership recognized
participation in loss of joint ventures with affiliates during 1993 as compared
to participation in income during 1994. In addition, Sand Pebble Village II,
purchased in October 1993, generated income in 1994, which contributed to the
income from joint ventures with affiliates during 1994.
Affiliates' participation in joint ventures represents the affiliates' shares
of income or loss at the Sun Lake Apartments and Perimeter 400 Center and
Brookhollow/Stemmons Center office complexes. The Partnership incurred
significant leasing costs at the Perimeter 400 Center during 1993, which
resulted in improved operations at the property during 1994. In addition, the
Partnership recognized a decline in the fair values of the Sun Lake Apartments
during 1994 and the Brookhollow/Stemmons Center during 1993. As a result of the
combined effect of these events, the affiliates recognized participation in
income of joint ventures during 1994 as compared to a participation in loss of
joint ventures during 1993.
The Partnership recognized a gain on disposition of real estate during 1994 of
$818,379 resulting from the disposition of its investment in the Northgate and
Gatewood apartment complexes and during 1993 of $3,471,731 in connection with
the sale of Winchester Mall.
1993 Compared to 1992
---------------------
As a result of the acquisition through foreclosure of one property in 1993, and
two properties and a minority joint venture interest with affiliate in 1992,
net interest income on loans receivable, and consequently mortgage servicing
fees, decreased during 1993 as compared to 1992. This decrease was partially
offset by additional income received in 1993 in connection with the prepayment
of one loan.
Allowances related to the Miami Free Zone loan in the amount of $2,106,906 were
written off in connection with the prepayment of the loan at its net carrying
value.
Income from operations of real estate held for sale in 1993 represented the net
property operations generated by the thirteen remaining properties the
Partnership had acquired through foreclosure. Original funds advanced by the
Partnership totalled approximately $149,100,000 for these thirteen real estate
investments. Income from operations of real estate held for sale remained
relatively unchanged during 1993 as compared to 1992. Rental income increased
during 1993 at the Park Central Office Building due to leasing activity during
the latter part of 1992 which resulted in increased average occupancy levels.
Rental income also increased during 1993 at the Sun Lake Apartments due to
increased occupancy levels and rental rates. Income was generated during 1993
from the acquisition through foreclosure of the 420 N. Wabash Office Building
and Shoal Run Apartments which were acquired through foreclosure in the latter
part of 1992. These increases were substantially offset by significant leasing
costs incurred during 1993 at the Perimeter 400 Center to lease vacant space
and renew existing leases.
The 1993 loan prepayments and sale of Winchester Mall resulted in an increase
in cash available for investment, and correspondingly, an increase in interest
income on short-term investments during 1993 as compared to 1992.
During 1993, the Partnership incurred leasing commissions in connection with
leases signed at four of its commercial properties which resulted in an
increase in amortization of deferred expenses during 1993 as compared to 1992.
The Partnership incurred higher legal fees during 1992 in connection with non-
accrual loans, foreclosures and loan defaults, resulting in a decrease in
administrative expenses during 1993 as compared to 1992.
Participation in income (loss) of joint ventures with affiliates represents the
Partnership's share of the operations of the Sand Pebble Village and Sand
Pebble Village II apartment complexes, and the Partnership's investment in the
45 West 45th Street office building loan. The Partnership recognized its share
of a decline in the fair values of Sand Pebble Village and 45 West 45th Street
during 1993. As a result, the Partnership's participation in loss of joint
ventures with affiliates increased during 1993 as compared to 1992. The joint
venture received title to the Sand Pebble Village through foreclosure in July
1992, and purchased its share of Sand Pebble Village II in October 1993.
Affiliates' participation in loss of joint ventures decreased during 1993 as
compared to 1992 due to a provision for potential losses recognized for the
Perimeter 400 Center during 1992.
The Partnership recognized a gain on disposition of real estate in 1993 of
$3,471,731 in connection with the sale of Winchester Mall.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership decreased as of December 31, 1994 when
compared to December 31, 1993. Operating activities included cash flow from the
operations of the Partnership's real estate held for sale, participation income
from loan prepayments and interest income from the Partnership's remaining
loans, which were partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses
and mortgage servicing fees. Investing activities related primarily to funds
received in connection with two loan prepayments and the disposition of its
investment in the Northgate and Gatewood apartment complexes and funds used for
additions to certain properties and payment of leasing commissions. Financing
activities included distributions to Partners, the payment of principal on the
underlying loans and mortgage notes payable and the repayment of the underlying
mortgage loans on the Woodscape, Northgate and Gatewood apartment complexes.
The Partnership made special distributions of Mortgage Reductions of
approximately $40,371,000 in 1994. Mortgage Reductions of approximately
$22,010,000 from previous loan prepayments have been retained for working
capital requirements.
The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of its properties as
either positive, a marginal deficit, or a significant deficit, each after
consideration of debt service payments unless otherwise indicated. A deficit
is considered significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the
property's rental and service income. The Partnership defines cash flow
generated from its properties as an amount equal to the property's revenue
receipts less property related expenditures, which include debt service
payments. The Sun Lake Apartments is the only Partnership property with
underlying debt. During 1994 and 1993, all of the Partnership's properties,
including the three properties in which the Partnership holds minority joint
venture interests with affiliates, generated positive cash flow. The Northgate
and Gatewood apartment complexes also generated positive cash flow in 1994. As
of December 31, 1994, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's residential
properties ranged from 95% to 98%, and the occupancy rates of the commercial
properties ranged from 85% to 97%.
Significant leasing costs were incurred in 1993 at the Perimeter 400 Center and
Brookhollow/Stemmons Center office complexes of approximately $2,063,000 and
$1,744,000, respectively, to lease vacant space and renew existing tenant
leases which were scheduled to expire during 1993. These non-recurring
expenditures were not included in classifying the cash flow performance of the
properties. Had these costs been included, these properties would have each
been classified as generating significant deficits during 1993. The General
Partner is continuing its efforts to maintain high occupancy levels, while
increasing rents where possible, and to monitor and control operating expenses
and capital improvement requirements at the properties.
Because of the weak real estate markets in certain cities and regions of the
country, attributable to local and regional market conditions such as
overbuilding and recessions in local economies and specific industry segments,
certain borrowers requested that the Partnership allow prepayment of mortgage
loans. The Partnership allowed some of these borrowers to prepay such loans, in
some cases without assessing prepayment premiums, under circumstances where the
General Partner believed that refusing to allow such prepayments would
ultimately prove detrimental to the Partnership because of the likelihood that
the properties would not generate sufficient revenues to keep loan payments
current. In other cases, borrowers requested prepayment in order to take
advantage of lower available interest rates. In these cases, the Partnership
collected substantial prepayment premiums. In addition, certain borrowers
failed to make payments when due to the Partnership for more than ninety days
and, accordingly, these loans have been placed on non-accrual status (income is
recorded only as cash payments are received). The General Partner negotiated
with some of these borrowers regarding modifications of the loan terms and
instituted foreclosure proceedings under certain circumstances. Such
foreclosure proceedings may have been delayed by factors beyond the General
Partner's control such as bankruptcy filings by borrowers and state law
procedures regarding foreclosures.
The Partnership and three affiliates (the "Participants") funded a $23,000,000
first mortgage loan on the 45 West 45th Street office building. The Partnership
funded $9,500,000 of the loan for a participating percentage of approximately
41%. In February 1995, the Participants received title to the property through
foreclosure. The Partnership's investment in this loan was reclassified from
loan in substantive foreclosure to an investment in joint venture with
affiliates effective January 1993. It is the General Partner's opinion that the
borrower had effectively surrendered control of the property. See Item 3. Legal
Proceedings for additional information.
In February 1994, the borrower of the Breckenridge and Highland Green apartment
complex loans prepaid the loans in full in the total amount of $24,637,000,
comprised of the original funds advanced on the loan of $21,637,000 and
participation income of $3,000,000.
In May 1994, the Partnership prepaid the Woodscape Apartments underlying
mortgage loan of $3,386,956 and paid a prepayment premium of $101,609.
In August 1994, the Partnership disposed of its investment in the Northgate and
Gatewood apartment complexes which had been classified as real estate held for
sale at December 31, 1993 for financial statement purposes. In connection with
the disposition, the Partnership received proceeds of $8,325,000 and the
underlying loans related to the properties of $2,047,463 were repaid. See Note
11 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
In November 1994, the Partnership completed the re-marketing of the Sun Lake
Apartments underlying revenue bonds. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial
Statements for additional information.
In January 1995, the Partnership and an affiliate placed the Jonathan's Landing
Apartments loan in default and accelerated the loan due to the sale of the
property by the borrower without the required consent from the Partnership and
its affiliate. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings for additional information.
The Noland Fashion Square shopping center loan has been recorded by the
Partnership as an investment in acquisition loan. The Partnership has recorded
its share of the collateral property's operations as equity in loss from
investment in acquisition loan. The Partnership's share of operations has no
effect on the cash flow of the Partnership, and amounts representing
contractually required debt service are recorded as interest income.
Distributions to Limited Partners can be expected to fluctuate for various
reasons. Loan prepayments and repayments can initially cause Cash Flow to
increase as prepayment premiums and participations are paid; however,
thereafter prepayments and repayments will have the effect of reducing Cash
Flow. If such proceeds are distributed, Limited Partners will have received a
return of capital and the dollar amount of Cash Flow available for distribution
thereafter can be expected to decrease. Distribution levels can also vary as
loans are placed on non-accrual status, modified or restructured and, if the
Partnership has taken title to properties through foreclosure or otherwise, as
a result of property operations.
The Partnership made four distributions totaling $39.20, $8.00 and $11.00 per
Interest in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. See Statement of Partners'
Capital for additional information. Distributions were comprised of $10.00 of
Cash Flow and $29.20 of Mortgage Reductions in 1994, $8.00 of Cash Flow in
1993, and $10.25 of Cash Flow and $.75 of Mortgage Reductions in 1992. Cash
Flow distributions increased in 1994 as compared to 1993 primarily due to loan
prepayments and the disposition of the Partnership's investment in Northgate
and Gatewood apartment complexes. Cash Flow distributions decreased during 1993
as compared to 1992 primarily due to the reduction of Cash Flow resulting from
loan defaults and the Partnership's need to maintain adequate reserves for
working capital requirements at the foreclosed properties.
In January 1995, the Partnership paid a distribution of $2,765,124 ($2.00 per
Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests representing the
regular quarterly distribution from Cash Flow for the fourth quarter of 1994.
To date, Limited Partners have received cash distributions totaling $185.92 per
$250 Interest. Of this amount, $119.92 represents Cash Flow from operations
and $66.00 represents a return of Original Capital. In January 1995, the
Partnership also paid $230,427 to the General Partner as its distributive share
of the Cash Flow distributed for the fourth quarter of 1994 and made a
contribution to the Early Investment Incentive Fund in the amount of $76,809.
The Partnership expects to continue making cash distributions from the Cash
Flow generated by the receipt of mortgage payments on the loan receivable and
property operations less payments on the underlying loan, fees to the General
Partner and administrative expenses. The level of future distributions is
dependent on cash flow from property operations and the receipt of interest
income from the remaining mortgage loan. The General Partner, on behalf of the
Partnership, has retained what it believes is an appropriate amount of working
capital to meet current cash or liquidity requirements which may occur.
During 1994 the General Partner used amounts placed in the Early Investment
Incentive Fund to repurchase 13,533 Interests from Limited Partners for a cost
of $1,695,275.
The General Partner has recently completed the outsourcing of the financial
reporting and accounting services, transfer agent and investor records
services, and computer operations and systems development functions that
provided services to the Partnership. All of these functions are now being
provided by independent third parties. Additionally, Allegiance Realty Group,
Inc., which has provided property management services to all but one of the
Partnership's properties, was sold to a third party. Each of these transactions
occurred after extensive due diligence and competitive bidding processes. The
General Partner does not believe that the cost of providing these services to
the Partnership, in the aggregate, will be materially different to the
Partnership during 1995 when compared to 1994.
Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real estate
investments. Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating costs
which may or may not be recovered through increased rents and/or sales prices
depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation
can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead
to increased rental revenues and real estate values.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Partners of
Balcor Pension Investors-VI:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Balcor Pension Investors-VI
(An Illinois Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
related statements of partners' capital, income and expenses and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Balcor Pension Investors-VI
(An Illinois Limited Partnership) at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the

related loan agreements. The accrual of interest is discontinued when a loan
becomes ninety days contractually delinquent or sooner when, in the opinion of
the General Partner, an impairment has occurred in the value of the collateral
property securing the loan. Income on nonaccrual loans or loans which are
otherwise not performing in accordance with their terms is recorded on a cash
basis.
Various loan agreements provide for participation by the Partnership in
increases in value of the collateral property when the loan is repaid or
refinanced. In addition, certain loan agreements allow the Partnership to
receive a percentage of rental income exceeding a base amount. Participation
income is reflected in the accompanying Statements of Income and Expenses when
received.
Income from operations of real estate owned is reflected in the accompanying
Statements of Income and Expenses net of related direct operating expenses.
(b) Allowances are recorded through charges to income when the General Partner
believes an impairment has occurred, either in a borrower's ability to repay
the loan or in the value of the collateral property. Determinations of
impairment are made periodically on the basis of performance under the terms of
the loan agreement and assessments of property operations.
When the General Partner believes the likelihood of foreclosure is more than
remote, a loss provision is recorded if the loan balance exceeds the estimated
fair value of the collateral property less costs of disposal. Upon foreclosure,
actual losses are charged to the allowance and the fair value of the property
is transferred to real estate held for sale. Determinations of fair value
represent estimations based on many variables which affect the value of real
estate, including economic and demographic conditions. An allowance for loss is
recorded when a decline in the value of a property owned is believed to be
temporary. Impairment in value considered to be permanent results in the direct
writedown of the property's carrying value to its estimated fair value.
(c) Deferred expenses consist of mortgage brokerage fees which are amortized on
a straight-line basis over the term of the loan and leasing commissions paid to
outside brokers which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of
the leases to which they apply.
(d) Income from operating leases with significant abatements and/or scheduled
rent increases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease
terms.
(e) The Financial Accounting Standard Board's Statement No. 107, "Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value. Since quoted market prices are not available for the Partnership's
financial instruments, fair values have been based on estimates using present
value techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be
substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not
be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 does
not apply to all balance sheet items and excludes certain financial instruments
and all non-financial instruments such as real estate and investment in joint
ventures from its disclosure requirements.
(f) Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased.
(g) The Partnership is not liable for Federal income taxes and each partner
recognizes his proportionate share of the Partnership's income or loss in his
tax return; therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial
statements of the Partnership.
(h) Investment in acquisition loan represents a first mortgage loan which,
because the loan agreement includes certain specified terms, must be accounted
for under generally accepted accounting principles as an investment in a real
estate joint venture. The investment is therefore reflected in the
accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under
this method, the Partnership records its investment at cost (representing total
loan funding) and subsequently adjusts its investment for its share of property
income or loss.
Amounts representing contractually-required debt service are recorded in the
accompanying statements of income and expenses as interest income. Equity in
investment in acquisition loan represents the Partnership's share of the
collateral property's operations, including depreciation and interest expense.
The Partnership's share of income (loss) has no effect on the cash flow of the
Partnership.
(i) Investment in joint ventures - affiliates represents the Partnership's
44.63% and 41.3% interest, under the equity method of accounting, in joint
ventures with affiliated partnerships. Under the equity method of accounting,
the Partnership records its initial investment at cost and adjusts its
investment account for additional capital contributions, distributions and its
share of joint venture income or loss.
(j) Several reclassifications have been made in the previously reported 1993
and 1992 financial statements to conform with the classification used in 1994
including the reclassification of loans in substantive foreclosure to loans or
real estate to conform with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114 which was adopted as of January 1, 1994. These
reclassifications have not changed the 1993 or 1992 results.
2. Partnership Agreement:
The Partnership was organized in October 1984. The Partnership Agreement
provides for Balcor Mortgage Advisors-VI to be the General Partner and for the
admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 1,450,000 Limited
Partnership Interests at $250 per Interest, 1,382,562 of which were sold on or
prior to October 31, 1985, the termination date of the offering.
For financial statement purposes, the Partnership's results of operations are
allocated 90% to Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner, of which 2.5%
relates to the Early Investment Incentive Fund.
To the extent that Cash Flow is distributed, distributions are made as follows:
(i) 90% of such Cash Flow is distributed to the Limited Partners, (ii) 7.5% of
such Cash Flow is distributed to the General Partner, and (iii) an additional
2.5% of such Cash Flow is distributed to the General Partner and constitutes
the Early Investment Incentive Fund (the "Fund"). An amount not to exceed such
2.5% share originally allocated will be returned to the Partnership by the
General Partner at the dissolution of the Partnership to the extent necessary
to enable Early Investors to receive upon dissolution of the Partnership a
return of their Original Capital plus a Cumulative Return of 15% for Interests
purchased on or before June 30, 1985, and 14% for Interests purchased between
July 1, 1985 and October 31, 1985.
Amounts placed in the Fund are used to repurchase Interests from existing
Limited Partners, at the sole discretion of the General Partner and subject to
certain limitations. During 1994, the Fund repurchased 13,533 Interests at a
cost of $1,695,275. All repurchases of Interests have been made at 90% of the
current value of such Limited Partnership Interests at the previous quarter
end.
Distributions of Cash Flow and Mortgage Reductions pertaining to such
repurchased Interests are paid to the Fund and are available to repurchase
additional Interests.
3. Investment in Loan Receivable and Acquisition Loan:
The Partnership and an affiliated partnership participate in a first mortgage
loan on the Jonathan's Landing Apartments. The Partnership participates ratably
in 47% of the loan amount and related interest income. At December 31, 1994,
the Partnership's share of the loan had a balance of $9,635,000 and current
monthly payments of $77,740 at 9.5% are due through maturity in May 1997. The
monetary terms of this loan were modified in 1992.
Non-accrual loans and loans whose payment terms have been restructured are
hereinafter referred to as impaired loans. Net interest income relating to
impaired loans would have been $1,049,275 in 1994, $4,444,476 in 1993 and
$8,277,355 in 1992. Net interest income included in the accompanying Statements
of Income and Expenses amounted to $887,409 in 1994, $3,198,625 in 1993 and
$5,950,719 in 1992.
The Jonathan's Landing impaired loan balance of $9,635,000 at December 31, 1994
includes a related allowance for losses of $1,034,000. The average recorded
investment in the impaired loan during the year ended December 31, 1994 was
$9,635,000.
In January 1989, the Partnership and two affiliated partnerships entered into a
participation agreement to fund a $23,300,000 first mortgage loan on the Noland
Fashion Square. The Partnership participates ratably in approximately 21% of
the loan amount, related interest income and participation income. At December
31, 1994, the loan had a balance of $4,467,124, and current monthly interest-
only payments of $38,979 are due through maturity in December 1999. The
Partnership may receive additional payments from the borrower representing
participations in the operating results of the collateral property which exceed
specified levels and a share in the appreciation of the collateral property
upon repayment or refinancing. The loan balance includes the Partnership's
share of the cumulative net loss of the property after the loan was funded.
4. Allowances for Losses on Loans and Real Estate Held for Sale:
Activity recorded in the allowances for losses on loans and real estate held
for sale during the three years ended December 31, 1994 is described in the
table below.
1994 1993 1992
------------ ----------- -----------
Loans:
Balance at beginning of
year $ 1,308,594 $ 2,815,500 $ 16,438,750
Provision charged to
income None 600,000 None
Charge-off of losses None (2,106,906) (13,623,250)
------------ ----------- ------------
Balance at the end of
the year $ 1,308,594 $ 1,308,594 $ 2,815,500
=========== =========== ============
Real Estate Held for Sale:
Balance at beginning of
year $ 4,065,000 None $ 46,232,500
Provision charged to
income 3,900,000 $ 4,065,000 18,500,000
Charge-off of losses None None (64,732,500)
----------- ----------- ------------
Balance at the end of
the year $ 7,965,000 $ 4,065,000 None
=========== =========== ============
Included in the 1992 charge-off of losses are amounts reflecting the
Partnership's adoption of Statement of Position 92-3, "Accounting for
Foreclosed Assets" which required the Partnership to adjust the carrying
amounts of its real estate held for sale and loans previously classified as in
substantive foreclosure to the lower of fair value of the asset less estimated
costs to sell, or the cost of the asset. This change had no effect on the
results of operations of the Partnership in 1992 since the Partnership had
previously recorded these allowances to reflect declines in the value of the
real estate and loans.
5. Mortgage Notes Payable:
Mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consisted of the
following:

----------- -----------
Grand Total $15,700,000 $21,257,668
=========== ===========
(A) This property's mortgage loan is financed with underlying revenue bonds.
Principal and interest payments due on the mortgage loan reflect payments due
to the bondholders. In November 1994, the Partnership re-marketed these bonds,
which reduced the interest rate of the loan from 7.625% to 4.5% effective
November 1, 1994. The interest rate will remain constant until November 1,
1995, the next re-marketing date of the bonds. The bonds may be redeemed, at
par plus accrued interest, on this date and on subsequent dates prior to
maturity pursuant to the terms of the bond indenture. The bonds are secured by
an irrevocable letter of credit. In connection with the re-marketing, the
letter of credit was reduced to approximately $16,131,750 and extended one
additional year to November 1, 1995. The Partnership will need to replace the
letter of credit or find an alternate credit facility for the bonds as of such
date. The Partnership will pay a fee of approximately 1.7% on the letter of
credit balance. In addition, beginning November 1, 1994, the Partnership is
required to remit excess cash flow payments to the letter of credit provider to
be held in trust for future re-marketing expenditures. Unless there is a prior
redemption of all or part of the bonds, the entire principal balance of the
loan will be due on November 1, 1997.
Real estate held for sale with an aggregate carrying value of $21,343,014 at
December 31, 1994 was pledged as collateral for repayment of this mortgage
note.
(B) In May 1994, the Partnership prepaid this mortgage loan.
(C) In August 1994, the Partnership disposed of its investment in these
properties and repaid the related underlying mortgage loans of $1,137,141 and
$910,322 on the Gatewood and Northgate apartment complexes, respectively. See
Note 11 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
During the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Partnership
incurred interest expense on the mortgage notes payable of $1,688,971,
$1,855,630 and $1,929,879, respectively, and paid interest expense of
$1,627,506, $1,855,630 and $1,654,442, respectively.
6. Real Estate Held for Sale:
In 1993 and 1992, the Partnership acquired the following properties through
foreclosure: the Shoal Run Apartments in 1993, and the Woodscape and Sun Lake
apartment complexes, 420 North Wabash Office Building and Winchester Mall in
1992. The Partnership recorded the cost of the properties at $7,506,621 and
$62,137,388 in 1993 and 1992, respectively. These amounts represented the
outstanding loan balances plus any accrued interest receivable. In addition,
the Partnership increased the bases of the properties by $1,209,857 in 1992
which represented certain other receivables, liabilities, escrows and costs
recognized or incurred in connection with the foreclosures. At the date of
foreclosure, the property was transferred to real estate held for sale at its
fair value, net of allowances previously recorded.
7. Affiliates' Participation in Joint Ventures:
(a) The Brookhollow/Stemmons Center Office Complex is owned by the Partnership
and an affiliated partnership. Profits and losses are allocated 72.5% to the
Partnership and 27.5% to the affiliate.
(b) The Perimeter 400 Center Office Building is owned by the Partnership and
three affiliated partnerships. Profits and losses are allocated 50% to the
Partnership and 50% to the affiliates.
(c) The Sun Lake Apartments is owned by the Partnership and an affiliated
partnership. Profits and losses are allocated 61.95% to the Partnership and
38.05% to the affiliate.
All assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint ventures are included
in the financial statements of the Partnership with the appropriate adjustment
of profit or loss for each affiliate's participation.
Net (distributions) contributions of $(1,085,282), $609,708 and $(511,841) were
made to joint venture partners during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. In
addition, joint venture partners were allocated their pro-rata percentage of
the provision for potential losses in the amount of $684,900, $1,020,000 and
$4,194,726 during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
8. Investment in Joint Ventures with Affiliates:
(A) The Partnership and an affiliate (the "Participants") acquired title to the
Sand Pebble Village Apartments, at a foreclosure sale in July 1992. The
Participants purchased the adjacent property, the Sand Pebble Village II
Apartments, for a purchase price of $9,300,000 in October 1993. The
Participants paid $4,300,000 in cash, of which the Partnership's share was
$1,932,909. The remainder of the purchase price was paid with the proceeds of a
$5,000,000 first mortgage loan. The Partnership's investment in each of these
properties has been classified as investment in joint ventures with an
affiliate. Profits and losses and all capital contributions and distributions
are allocated 44.63% to the Partnership and 55.37% to the affiliate. In 1994
and 1993, the joint venture recognized a loss relating to the decline in the
fair value of Sand Pebble Village. The Partnership's participation in joint
venture with affiliates includes the Partnership's share of the loss of
$512,000 and $1,517,420 for 1994 and 1993, respectively.
(B) The Partnership and three affiliates (the "Participants"), previously
funded a $23,000,000 loan on the 45 West 45th Street Office Building. In
February 1995, the Participants received title to the property through
foreclosure, and the Partnership owns a 41.3% joint venture interest in the
property. The Partnership's investment was reclassified to an investment in
joint venture with affiliates effective January 1993. It is the General
Partner's opinion that the borrower had effectively surrendered control of the
property. In 1993, the joint venture recognized a loss relating to the decline
in the fair value of the property. The Partnership's participation in joint
venture with affiliates for 1993 includes the Partnership's share of the loss
of $2,400,000.

party in November 1994.
The Partnership participates in an insurance deductible program with other
affiliated partnerships in which the program pays claims up to the amount of
the deductible under the master insurance policies for its properties. The
program is administered by an affiliate of the General Partner who receives no
fee for administering the program. The Partnership's premiums to the deductible
insurance program were $219,226, $139,156 and $116,618 for 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
10. Restricted Investment:
In April 1992, the Partnership and an affiliate (the "Participants")
established a debt service reserve account of $700,000 as additional collateral
for their obligations related to the mortgage loan on Sun Lake Apartments,
pursuant to the settlement agreement reached in December 1991. The Partnership
contributed $433,650 as its share of the account. The remaining portion is
included in the affiliate's investment in the joint venture. The funds are
invested in short-term interest bearing instruments and interest earned on the
investments is payable to the Participants. The funds will be released to the
Participants once certain terms and conditions of the agreement are met. The
November 1994 re-marketing of the underlying revenue bonds relating to this
loan did not change the terms of the reserve agreement. See Note 5 of Notes to
Financial Statements for additional information.
11. Property Dispositions:
(A) During 1993 and 1992, the Partnership sold the Winchester Mall and the
Ansonia Mall in separate all cash sales for $9,000,000 and $750,000,
respectively. The bases of these properties were $5,500,000 and $8,567,167. For
financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $3,471,731
and a loss of $7,852,747 from the sale of these properties during 1993 and
1992, respectively. The loss was written-off against the Partnership's
previously established allowance for potential losses.
(B) At December 31, 1993, the Partnership classified its investment in the
Northgate and Gatewood apartment complexes as real estate held for sale for
financial statement purposes. In August 1994, the Partnership disposed of its
investment in these properties which had a carrying value of $7,506,621. In
connection with the disposition, the Partnership received proceeds of
$8,325,000 and the underlying loans related to the properties of $2,047,463
were repaid. The Partnership recognized a gain for financial statement purposes
of $818,379.
12. Management Agreements:
As of December 31, 1994, all of the properties owned by the Partnership are
under management agreements with a third-party management company. These
management agreements provide for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts
for residential properties and a range of 3% to 6% of gross operating receipts
for commercial properties.
13. Fair Values of Financial Instruments:
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnership in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted investment: the carrying amount of
cash and cash equivalents and restricted investment reported in the balance
sheet for cash and short-term investments approximates those assets' fair
values.
Net investment in loans receivable and mortgage notes payable: the fair values
for the Partnership's net investment in loans receivable and mortgage notes
payable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using discount rates
based upon rates of return currently received in the lending and real estate
markets on instruments that are comparable to the Partnership's investments and
similar debt instruments.
The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Partnership's financial instruments
at December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 are as follows:
1994
----
Carrying Fair
Amount Value
----------- ------------
Cash and cash equivalents $31,007,746 $31,007,746

14. Contingencies:
The Partnership is currently involved in a lawsuit whereby the Partnership and
certain affiliates have been named as defendants alleging certain Federal
securities law violations with regard to the adequacy and accuracy of
disclosures of information concerning the offering of the Limited Partnership
Interests of the Partnership. The defendants continue to vigorously contest
this action. While a plaintiff class has been certified, no determination of
the merits have been made. Although the outcome of this matter is not presently
determinable, it is management's opinion that the ultimate outcome should not
have a material adverse affect on the financial position of the Partnership.
Management of the defendants believes they have meritorious defenses to contest
the claims.
15. Subsequent Event:
In January 1995, the Partnership paid a distribution of $2,765,124 ($2.00 per
Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests for the fourth
quarter of 1994.
