REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL Redwood Mortgage Investors VI, (the "Partnership") is a California Limited Partnership, of which the General Partners are D. Russell Burwell, Michael R. Burwell and Gymno Corporation, a California corporation owned and operated by the individual General Partners. The partnership was organized to engage in business as a mortgage lender for the primary purpose of making loans secured by Deeds of Trust on California real estate. Loans are being arranged and serviced by Redwood Mortgage Corp., (Redwood Mortgage), an affiliate of the General Partners. The offering of partnership units was closed with contributed capital totaling $9,772,594. Each month's income is distributed to partners based upon their proportionate share of partners' capital. Some partners have elected to withdraw income on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. A. Sales Commissions Formation Loan Sales commissions ranging from 0% (units sold by General Partners) to 10% of gross proceeds were paid by Redwood Mortgage Corp. an affiliate of the General Partners that arranges and services the loans. To finance the sales commissions, the Partnership loaned to Redwood Mortgage Corp. $623,255 (the "formation loan") relating to contributed capital of $9,781,366. The formation loan was unsecured, and was repaid without interest, over 10 years, commencing December 31, 1989. The last payment was made in 1998. B. Other Organizational and Offering Expenses Organizational and offering expenses, other than sales commissions, (including printing costs, attorney and accountant fees, and other costs), paid by the Partnership from the offering proceeds totaled $360,885 or 3.69% of the gross proceeds contributed by the Partners. Such costs have been fully amortized and allocated to the Partners. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Accrual Basis Revenues and expenses are accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting wherein income is recognized as earned and expenses are recognized as incurred. Once a loan is categorized as impaired, interest is no longer accrued thereon. B. Management Estimates In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates based on the information available that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses for the related periods. Such estimates relate principally to the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts, including the valuation of impaired loans, and the valuation of real estate acquired through foreclosure. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 C. Loans, Secured by Deeds of Trust The Partnership has both the intent and ability to hold the loans to maturity, i.e., held for long-term investment. They are therefore valued at cost for financial statement purposes with interest thereon being accrued by the simple interest method. Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements (SFAS) 114 and 118 (effective January 1, 1995) provide that if the probable ultimate recovery of the carrying amount of a loan, with due consideration for the fair value of collateral, is less than the recorded investment and related amounts due and the impairment is considered to be other than temporary, the carrying amount of the investment (cost) shall be reduced to the present value of future cash flows. As of June 30, 2001 and at December 31, 2000 and 1999, reductions in the cost of loans categorized as impaired by the Partnership totaled $159,090, $159,090 and $283,249, respectively. The reduction in stated value was accomplished by increasing the allowances for doubtful accounts. As presented in Note 9 to the financial statements as of June 30, 2001, the average loan to appraised value of security at the time the loans were consummated was 66.12%. When a loan is valued for impairment purposes, an updating is made in the valuation of collateral security. However, a low loan to value ratio tends to minimize reductions for impairment. D. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include interest bearing and non-interest bearing bank deposits. E. Real Estate Owned, Held for Sale Real estate owned, held for sale, includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and is stated at the lower of the recorded investment in the property, net of any senior indebtedness, or at the property's estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 The following schedule reflects the costs of real estate acquired through foreclosure and the recorded reductions to estimated fair values, less estimated costs to sell as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 was as follows: June 30, December 31, 2001 2000 --------------- ---------------- Costs of properties $1,190,132 $1,240,579 Reduction in value ( 442,927 ) ( 472,996 ) --------------- ---------------- Fair value reflected in financial statements $747,205 $767,583 =============== ================ F. Income Taxes No provision for Federal and State income taxes is made in the financial statements since income taxes are the obligation of the partners if and when income taxes apply. G. Organization and Syndication Costs The Partnership bears its own organization and syndication costs (other than certain sales commissions and fees described above) including legal and accounting expenses, printing costs, selling expenses, a 1% wholesale brokerage fee and filing fees. H. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Loans and the related accrued interest, fees and advances are analyzed on a continuous basis for recoverability. Delinquencies are identified and followed as part of the loan system. A provision is made for bad debt to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts to an amount considered by management to be adequate with due consideration to collateral value to provide for unrecoverable accounts receivable, including impaired loans, unspecified loans, accrued interest and advances on loans, and other accounts receivable (unsecured). The composition of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 was as follows: June 30, December 31, 2001 2000 - --------------- ---------------- Impaired loans $159,090 $159,090 Unspecified loans 20,000 20,000 Accounts receivable, unsecured 82,362 82,362 ------------ ------------- $261,452 $261,452 ============ ============= REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 I. Net Income Per $1,000 Invested Amounts reflected in the statements of income as net income per $1,000 invested by Limited Partners for the entire period are actual amounts allocated to Limited Partners who held their investment throughout the period and have elected to either leave their earnings to compound or have elected to receive monthly distributions of their net income. Individual income is allocated each month based on the Limited Partners' pro rata share of Partners' Capital. Because the net income percentage varies from month to month, amounts per $1,000 will vary for those individuals who made or withdrew investments during the period, or select other options. NOTE 3 - GENERAL PARTNERS AND RELATED PARTIES The following are commissions and/or fees, which are paid to the General Partners and/or related parties. A. Mortgage Brokerage Commissions Mortgage brokerage commissions for services in connection with the review, selection, evaluation, negotiation and extension of the loans were limited to 12% of the principal amount of the loans through the period ending 6 months after the termination date of the offering. Thereafter, commissions are limited to an amount not to exceed 4% of the total Partnership assets per year. Such commissions are paid by the borrowers, thus, not an expense of the Partnership. Such commissions totaled $33,206, $45,164, $46,527 and $36,700 for the six months through June 30, 2001, and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. B. Loan Servicing Fees Monthly loan servicing fees are paid to Redwood Mortgage up to 1/8 of 1% (1.5% annual) of the unpaid principal, or such lesser amount as is reasonable and customary in the geographic area where the property securing the loan is located. Loan servicing fees of $21,853, $48,557, $50,150, and $70,630, were incurred for six months through June 30, 2001, and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. C. Asset Management Fee The General Partners are authorized to receive monthly fees for managing the Partnership's loan portfolio and operations of up to 1/32 of 1% (3/8 of 1% annually). Management fees of $4,617, $9,780, $10,626, and $6,640 were incurred during six months through June 30, 2001, and for the years 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. D. Other Fees The Partnership Agreement provides for other fees such as reconveyance, mortgage assumption and mortgage extension fees. These fees are paid by the borrowers to parties related to the General Partners. E. Income and Losses All income and losses are credited or charged to partners in relation to their respective partnership interests. The partnership interest of the General Partners (combined) is a total of 1%. REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 F. Operating Expenses The General Partners or their affiliate (Redwood Mortgage Corp.) are reimbursed by the Partnership for all operating expenses actually incurred by them on behalf of the Partnership, including without limitation, out-of-pocket general and administration expenses of the Partnership, accounting and audit fees, legal fees and expenses, postage and preparation of reports to Limited Partners. As of June 30, 2001, and in the years 2000, 1999, and 1998, clerical costs totaling $15,252, $19,647, $21,748, and $24,440, respectively, were reimbursed to Redwood Mortgage Corp. and are included in expenses in the Statements of Income. NOTE 4 - OTHER PARTNERSHIP PROVISIONS A. Term of the Partnership The term of the Partnership is approximately 40 years, unless sooner terminated as provided. The provisions provided for no capital withdrawal for the first five years, subject to the penalty provision set forth in (D) below. Thereafter, investors have the right to withdraw over a five-year period, or longer. B. Election to Receive Monthly, Quarterly or Annual Distributions Upon subscriptions, investors elected either to receive monthly, quarterly or annual distributions of earnings allocations, or to allow earnings to compound for at least a period of 5 years. C. Profits and Losses Profits and losses are allocated monthly among the Limited Partners according to their respective capital accounts after 1% is allocated to the General Partners. D. Withdrawal From Partnership A Limited Partner had no right to withdraw, without penalty, from the Partnership or to obtain the return of his capital account for at least five years after such units are purchased which in all instances had occurred by December 31, 1994. After that time, at the election of the Partner, capital accounts can be returned over a five-year period in 20 equal quarterly installments or such longer period as is requested. Notwithstanding the above, in order to provide a certain degree of liquidity to the Limited Partners, the General Partners will liquidate a Limited Partner's entire capital account in four quarterly installments beginning on the last day of the calendar quarter following the quarter in which the notice of withdrawal is given. Such liquidations shall, however, be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty applicable to any sums withdrawn prior to the time when such sums otherwise could have been withdrawn pursuant to the liquidation procedure set forth above. The 10% early withdrawal penalty will be received by the Partnership, and a portion of the sums collected as such penalty will be applied toward the next installment(s) of principal under the formation loan owed to the Partnership by Redwood Mortgage Corp. Such portion shall be determined by the ratio between the initial amount of formation loan and the total amount of other organization and syndication costs incurred by the Partnership in this offering. The balance of any such early withdrawal penalties shall be retained by the Partnership for its own account and applied against syndication costs. Since the syndication costs have been fully amortized as of December 31, 1993, and the formation loan was paid in 1998, the early withdrawal penalties paid in the future will be credited to income for the period received. REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 The Partnership will not establish a reserve from which to fund withdrawals and, accordingly, the Partnership's capacity to return a Limited Partner's capital account is restricted to the availability of Partnership cash flow. Furthermore, no more than 20% of the total Limited Partners' capital accounts outstanding at the beginning of any year shall be liquidated during any calendar year. NOTE 5 - NOTE RECEIVABLE - REDWOOD MORTGAGE CORP. Redwood Mortgage Corp., an affiliate of the General Partners, which arranges and services the loans of the Partnership, has subsidized certain loan losses of the Partnership in the form of a note receivable. The note bears interest at 8% and will be paid over a three-year period to the extent that Partnership losses occur relative to certain identified properties. If the identified properties recover from their write-downs, Redwood Mortgage Corp. will be credited or reimbursed up to the amount of the note receivable. NOTE 6 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the normal course of business the Partnership may become involved in various types of legal proceedings such as assignments of rents, bankruptcy proceedings, appointments of receivers, unlawful detainers, judicial foreclosures, etc., to enforce the provisions of the deeds of trust, collect the debt owed under the promissory notes or to protect/recoup its investment from the real property secured by the deeds. As of the date hereof, the Partnership is a defendant along with numerous other defendants, including a developer, contractor, and other lenders, in a lawsuit involving a homeowners association's attempt to recover "damages" for faulty construction. Management anticipates that the ultimate outcome of the legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on the net assets of the Partnership, with due consideration having been given in arriving at the allowance for doubtful accounts. NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES The following reflects a reconciliation from net assets (Partners' Capital) reflected in the financial statements to the tax basis of those net assets: June 30, December 31, 2001 2000 -------------- ---------------- Net assets - Partners' Capital per financial statements $7,220,706 $7,423,800 Allowance for doubtful accounts 261,452 261,452 --------------- ---------------- Net assets tax basis $7,482,158 $7,685,252 =============== ================ In 2000, approximately 73% of taxable income was allocated to tax exempt organizations i.e., retirement plans. Such plans do not have to file income tax returns unless their "unrelated business income" exceeds $1,000. Applicable amounts become taxable when distribution is made to participants. REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments: (a) Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount equals fair value. All amounts, including interest-bearing accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal. (b) Loans (see note 2 (c))-Loan carrying values were $5,455,553 at June 30, 2001. The fair value of these investments of $5,286,529 was estimated based upon projected cash flows discounted at the estimated current interest rates at which similar loans would be made. The applicable amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts along with accrued interest and advances related thereto should also be considered in evaluating the fair value versus the carrying value. NOTE 9 - ASSET CONCENTRATIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS The loans are secured by recorded deeds of trust. At June 30, 2001, there were 30 loans outstanding with the following characteristics: Number of loans outstanding 30 Total loans outstanding $5,455,553 Average loan outstanding $181,852 Average loan as percent of total 3.33% Average loan as percent of Partners' Capital 2.52% Largest loan outstanding $1,376,117 Largest loan as percent of Partners' Capital 19.06% Number of counties where security is located (all California) 10 Largest percentage of loans in one county 37.87% Average loan to appraised value of security at time loan was consummated 66.12% Number of loans in foreclosure 1 REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 The following categories of loans were held at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000: June 30, December 31, 2001 2000 ----------- ------------- First Trust Deeds $3,986,379 $4,011,117 Second Trust Deeds 1,405,310 1,385,496 Third Trust Deeds 63,864 173,963 ----------- ----------- Total loans 5,455,553 5,570,576 Prior liens due other lenders 6,446,044 8,467,477 ----------- ----------- Total debt $11,901,597 $14,038,053 =========== =========== Appraised property value at time of loan $18,000,250 $20,364,599 =========== =========== Total investments as a percent of appraisals 66.12% 68.93% =========== =========== Investments by Type of Property Owner occupied homes $883,700 $755,014 Non-Owner occupied homes 291,477 672,518 Apartments 569,290 575,407 Commercial 3,711,086 3,567,637 ---------- ----------- 5,455,553 $5,570,576 ========== =========== REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2001 Scheduled maturity dates are as follows: Year Ending December 31, Amount ------------------ -------------- 2001 $3,300,011 2002 341,171 2003 590,226 2004 733,700 2005 40,125 Thereafter 450,320 -------------- $5,455,553 ============== The scheduled maturities for 2001 include $2,937,010 in loans, which are past maturity at June 30, 2001. $2,291,269 of those loans were categorized as delinquent over 90 days.

As and when deposits in the Partnership's bank accounts increase significantly beyond the insured limit, the funds are generally either placed in new loans or used to pay down on the line of credit balance, if any. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations As of September 2, 1989, the Partnership had sold 97,725.94 Units and its contributed capital totaled $9,772,594 of the approved $12,000,000 issue, in Units of $100 each. As of that date the offering was formally closed. On June 30, 2001, the Partnership's net capital totaled $7,220,706. The Partnership began funding loans in October 1987. The Partnership's loans outstanding for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, 2000, and six months through June 30, 2001 were $7,969,735, $5,282,773, $5,570,576, and $5,455,553 respectively. The decrease in loans outstanding from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 2001, was due primarily to the Partnership utilizing loan payoffs to meet Limited Partner capital liquidations, line of credit pay-down, uninvested cash in loans and an increase in Real Estate Owned or in process. During the years 1998, 1999, 2000, and six months through June 30, 2001, loan principal collections exceeded Limited Partner liquidations. Since the fall of 1999, mortgage interest rates have been rising due primarily to economic forces and by the Federal Reserve raising its core interest rates. However, since January 2001, the Federal Reserve has been dramatically cutting its core interest rates with five successive cuts, ranging from .25% to .50%. The latest cut being June 27, 2001, which reduced the Federal Funds Rate to 3.75%. The effect of the cuts has greatly reduced short-term interest rates and to a lesser extent reduced long-term interest rates. New loans will be originated at then existing interest rates. In the future, interest rates likely will change from their current levels. The General Partners cannot at this time predict at what levels interest rates will be in the future. Although the rates charged by the Partnership are influenced by the level of interest rates in the market, the General Partners anticipate that rates charged by the Partnership to its borrowers will be somewhat lower than the first half of 2001. The General Partners anticipate that new loans will be placed at rates approximately 1% lower than similar loans during the first half of 2001. The lowering of interest rates has encouraged those borrowers that hold higher interest rate loans than those currently available to seek refinancing of their existing obligations to take advantage of these lower rates. The Partnership may face prepayments in the existing portfolio from borrowers taking advantage of these lower rates. However, demand for loans from qualified borrowers continues to be strong and as prepayments and new funds, which are being generated from Partnership unit sales, occur, we expect to replace these loans with loans at somewhat lower interest rates. At this time, we believe that the average loan portfolio interest rate will decline approximately .25% to .50% over the remainder of the year. Nevertheless, based upon the rates expected in connection with the existing loans, and anticipated interest rates to be charged by the Partnership and the General Partners' experience, the General Partners anticipate that the annualized yield will range between 5.75% and 6.25% for the remainder of 2001. Previously the Partnership had a line of credit with a commercial bank, which was secured by its loan portfolio. On December 31, 1999 the Partnership, on its own accord, closed its line of credit with that bank and since that time has not negotiated a similar credit line with any institution. Management felt that the need for the credit line was not necessary as cash flows from loan payments and payoffs have been in synchronization with loan opportunities and Limited Partner liquidations. The Partnership's operating results and delinquencies are within the normal range of the General Partners expectations, based upon their experience in managing similar Partnerships over the last twenty-four years. Foreclosures are a normal aspect of partnership operations and the General Partners anticipate that they will not have a material effect on liquidity. As of June 30, 2001, there was one property in foreclosure. As of June 30, 2001 the Partnership's Real Estate Owned account balance was $747,205. This account had a balance of $169,922, $133,300 and $767,583 as of December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively. The increase was due to acquisition of a commercial property through foreclosure recorded as REO in process in December 1999, and the decrease as of June 30, 2001 was due to the sale of one piece of real estate owned. Cash is continually being generated from interest earnings, late charges, prepayment penalties, and amortization and pay-off of notes. Currently, this amount exceeds Partnership expenses and earnings and Partner liquidation requirements. As loan opportunities become available, excess cash and available funds are invested in new loans. The General Partners regularly review the loan portfolio, examining the status of delinquencies, the underlying collateral securing these loans, REO expenses, sales activities, and borrower's payment records and other data relating to the loan portfolio. Data on the local real estate market, and on the national and local economy are studied. Based upon this information and more, loan loss reserves and allowance for doubtful accounts are increased or decreased. Because of the number of variables involved, the magnitude of possible swings and the General Partners inability to control many of these factors, actual results may and do sometimes differ significantly from estimates made by the General Partners. Management provided $180,054, $437,558, $193,427, and 0 as provision for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, 2000, and six months through June 30, 2001, respectively. The decrease in the provision in 1998 reflects the decrease in the amount of REO, unsecured receivables and the decreasing levels of delinquency within the portfolio. The increase in allowance for 1999 and 2000 was to build up reserve for any potential loss in the future. The Partnership acquired a piece of property through foreclosure in 2000. In anticipation of this event, the Partnership carried $668,132 in its balance sheet as Real Estate Owned in Process as of December 31, 1999. This investment was reclassified into Real Estate Owned in the year 2000. Management believes that reserves previously set aside in anticipation of this acquisition are adequate. The decrease to $0 in doubtful accounts provision for the six months through June 30, 2001 is due to Managements belief that the current overall reserve balances of $261,452 are adequate and additional reserves set aside are not currently warranted. The Partnership makes loans primarily in Northern California. As of June 30, 2001, approximately 77%, ($4,226,859) of the loans held by the Partnership were in the four San Francisco Bay Area Counties. The remainder of the loans held were secured primarily by Northern California real estate outside the San Francisco Bay Area. The United States economy has slowed from the robust Gross Domestic Product growth levels of 4.2% in 1999 and 5.0% in 2000 to a growth rate of 1.2% and .7% for the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2001, respectively. In response to the slow down in economic activity, the Federal Reserve has been acting primarily through reductions in the Federal Funds rates to stimulate the United States economy. Their interest rate cuts have lowered the Federal Funds rate from 6.5% to 3.75% or 42% over the course of the first half of 2001. Like the rest of the nation, the San Francisco Bay Area has also felt the slow down in economic growth. The technology companies of Silicon Valley and other industries are feeling the effects of the overall US economy slowdown, which include lower earnings, losses and layoffs. The Northern California real estate market and particularly the San Francisco Bay Area real estate marketplace experienced increases in values of over 10% in 1999 and in 2000. In the residential marketplace throughout 2000, offers for residential real estate were often at or above asking price. The residential market has slowed and is returning to a more normal market, wherein buyers and sellers negotiate the terms of a sale without undue influence from other buyers desiring the property. This has resulted in longer listing and transaction times. According to DataQuick Information Systems, April 2001, the number of home sales for the San Francisco Bay Area were 15.8% lower than the previous April, yet the median sales price increased 9.4% to $394,000 during this same period. In our opinion mid priced and lower end homes have continued to increase in value while the high-end homes have begun to decrease in value. The Partnership may experience higher delinquencies due to lay offs from borrowers who need to sell their homes in order to repay their debt not anticipating currently existing longer transaction times to sell a home or the lower prices of higher end homes. For commercial properties vacancy rates continued to increase as space absorption has slowed and sub lease space has been put on the market. According to Grubb and Ellis, vacancy in Class A and B space in San Francisco reached 7.7 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2001. Vacancy rates for other cities in the San Francisco Bay Area followed a similar trend. According to Grubb and Ellis, one indication that the bottom of the market may be reached soon is that the rate of increase in the vacancy rate has slowed. After increasing by nearly 2 percentage points a month during the first quarter, the vacancy rate increased at less than 1 percent a month during the second quarter. The best news is that according to Grubb and Ellis sales volumes are on par with last year and sales prices per square foot have remained steady because banks never underwrote deals at the rates at the peak of the market. However, Grubb and Ellis predict a slowdown in investments until there is comfort that rents and vacancy have bottomed. The Partnership may experience greater loan delinquencies if landlords lose their tenants. The Partnership did not participate significantly in funding of loans on speculative or vacant buildings. Currently, the commercial portion of our portfolio is performing normally, without significant rises in delinquencies. The Partnership had an average loan to value ratio computed as of the date the loan was made of 66.12%, as of June 30, 2001. This did not account for any increases in property values for loans, which were acquired by the Partnership during 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000 when Northern California Real Estate substantially increased in value. This low loan to value will assist the Partnership in weathering downturns in real estate values if they materialize in the coming months. On April 6th 2001, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) California's biggest public utility company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The full effect of PG&E's bankruptcy is unknown. Stockholders, other utility companies and banks that loaned PG&E millions of dollars were particularly hit hard. When a company like PG&E goes bankrupt, it has a ripple effect. This has not only affected the hi-tech and manufacturing industries, professional and commercial businesses, transportation and utilities sectors, but every household and individual as a whole. The crisis, which means higher costs to consumers, could adversely affect the economy, employment and the Partnership's lending in its commercial sector. The state government, PG&E and others are working diligently to solve the power crisis in California. The likely result is that electric and natural gas will cost consumers more than ever before. This may have some effect upon real estate values as demand for real estate could be reduced as companies make long term plans to locate in areas without power delivery problems and lower cost power availability. The Partnership's interest in land located in East Palo Alto, CA was acquired through foreclosure. The investment was previously classified as Investment in Partnership in the Financial Statements and has been reclassified into Real Estate Owned. The Partnership's basis of $98,181, $80,142, $20,377 and $ 0, for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively, has been invested with that of two other partnerships. In order to pursue development options, rezoning of the property's existing residential zoning classification will be required. The Partnership is continuing to explore remediation options available to mitigate the pesticide contamination, which affects the property. This pesticide contamination appears to be the result of agricultural operations by prior owners. The General Partners do not believe at this time that remediation of the pesticide contaminants will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Partnership. The efforts of the General Partners to subdivide the land have met with success. The arsenic contaminated portion of the property has been delivered to the party responsible for the arsenic contamination. The remaining land will be made available for development or sale by the Partnership. The General Partners believe this to be a good result for the Partnership. At the time of subscription to the Partnership, Limited Partners made an irrevocable decision to either take distributions of earnings monthly, quarterly or annually or to compound earnings in their capital account. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, and six months through June 30, 2001, the Partnership made distributions of earnings to Limited Partners after allocation of syndication costs of $235,837, $217,526, $192,356, and $83,129, respectively. Distribution of Earnings to Limited Partners after allocation of syndication costs for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000, and six months through June 30, 2001, to Limited Partners' capital accounts and not withdrawn, was $271,543, $298,174, $280,794, and $135,506, respectively. As of December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000, Limited Partners electing to withdraw earnings represented 43%, 42% and 41% respectively, of the Limited Partners outstanding capital accounts. The Partnership also allows the Limited Partners to withdraw their capital account subject to certain limitations (see liquidation provisions of Partnership Agreement). For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000, and six months through June 30, 2001, $122,069, $128,295, $200,417, and $86,561, respectively, were liquidated subject to the 10% and/or 8% penalty for early withdrawal. These withdrawals are within the normally anticipated range that the General Partners would expect in their experience in this and other partnerships. The General Partners expect that a small percentage of Limited Partners will elect to liquidate their capital accounts over one year with a 10% and/or 8% early withdrawal penalty. In originally conceiving the Partnership, the General Partners wanted to provide Limited Partners needing their capital returned a degree of liquidity. Generally, Limited Partners electing to withdraw over one year need to liquidate investments to raise cash. The trend the Partnership is experiencing in withdrawals by Limited Partners electing a one year liquidation program represents a small percentage of Limited Partner capital as of December 31, 1998, 1999, 2000, and June 30, 2001, respectively, and is expected by the General Partners to commonly occur at these levels. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, 2000, and six months through June 30, 2001, $938,040, $847,067, $686,923, and $252,039, respectively, were liquidated by Limited Partners who have elected a liquidation program over a period of five years or longer. Once the initial five-year hold period has passed, the General Partners expect to see an increase in liquidations due to the ability of Limited Partners to withdraw without penalty. This ability to withdraw after five years by Limited Partners has the effect of providing Limited Partner liquidity. The General Partners expect a portion of the Limited Partners to take advantage of this provision. This has the anticipated effect of the Partnership growing, primarily through reinvestment of earnings in years one through five. The General Partners expect to see increasing numbers of Limited Partner withdrawals in years five through eleven, at which time the bulk of those Limited Partners who have sought withdrawal will have been liquidated. After year eleven, liquidation generally subsides and the Partnership capital again tends to increase. Actual liquidation of both capital and earnings from year five (1992) through year twelve (2000) and six months through June 30, 2001, is shown hereunder, which confirms the General Partners theory on the liquidation habits of the Limited Partners: Years ended December 31, 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 ----------- ---------- ----------- ------------ ----------- Earnings $323,037 $377,712 $303,014 $303,098 $294,678 Capital *232,370 *528,737 *729,449 *892,953 *1,183,099 ----------- ---------- ----------- ------------ ----------- Total $555,407 $906,449 $1,032,463 $1,196,051 $1,477,777 =========== ========== =========== ============ =========== Six months ended 1997 1998 1999 2000 June 30, 2001 ----------- ---------- ----------- ------------ ------------- Earnings $257,670 $235,837 $217,526 $192,356 $83,129 Capital *1,297,410 *1,060,109 *975,362 *887,340 *338,600 ----------- ---------- ----------- ------------ ------------ Total $1,555,080 $1,295,946 $1,192,888 $1,079,696 $421,729 ============ ========== =========== ============ ============ *These amounts represent gross of early withdrawal penalties. After 25 years of active participation in the mortgage business, D. Russell Burwell, our founder and a General Partner of the Partnership has decided to retire effective September 30, 2001. "Russ" has enjoyed a long and successful career. His original business model, upon which our Partnership has its roots, has withstood the test of time through varying economic cycles. Collectively, the various Redwood Mortgage Investors Partnerships (I-VIII) have grown from an idea to over $115,000,000 in assets and produced excellent results for the Limited Partners. Under Russ' stewardship Redwood Mortgage Investor's VI originally raised $9,772,594 in Limited Partner Capital contributions and at June 30, 2001 had $7,210,940 in remaining Limited Partner Capital. Over the last few years, Russ has been passing along his duties and responsibilities to the remaining General Partners and certain senior executives. The General Partners are Mr. Michael Burwell and Gymno Corporation, a California Corporation. Mr. Michael Burwell has been a General Partner of Redwood Mortgage Investors VI since its inception and has been employed by Redwood Mortgage Corp, an affiliate of the Partnership, since 1979. The Partnership through the remaining General Partners and the employees of its affiliate Redwood Mortgage Corp., is well prepared for Russ's departure and looks forward to emulating the steady consistent returns that the Limited Partners have enjoyed during Russ' tenure. The General Partners have determined that for purposes of establishing a value for reporting purposes, including brokerage and trustee account statements, the estimated value of the limited partnership interests on a per unit basis is equal to the capital account balance of each investor in the Partnership. Each investor's capital account balance is set forth periodically on the Partnership account statement provided to investors. The amount of Partnership earnings each investor is entitled to receive is determined by the ratio that each investor's capital account bears to the total amount of all investor capital accounts then outstanding. The capital account balance of each investor should be included on any NASD member client account statement in providing a per unit estimated value of the client's investment in the Partnership in accordance with NASD Rule 2340. While the General Partners have set an estimated value for the Partnership units, such determination may not be representative of the ultimate price realized by an Investor for such units upon sale. No public trading market exists for the Partnership's units and none is likely to develop. Thus, the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her investment is limited subject to certain liquidation rights provided by the Partnership, which may include early withdrawal penalties (See the section of the Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors - Purchase of Units is a long term investment"). The accounting firm of Caporicci, Cropper & Larson, LLP ("CCL"), the successor in interest to Parodi & Cropper, CPA's, was retained as the Partnership's independent public accountants when the Partnership commenced operations in 1993. Bruce Cropper and John Cropper, formerly partners at CCL, were the Partnership's principal contacts at CCL. Bruce Cropper and John Cropper have been performing audit and accounting services for the benefit of the Partnership's General Partners and their affiliates for over 18 years. Effective as of December 31, 2000, CCL resigned from its engagement as the Partnership's independent public accountants due to the withdrawal of Bruce Cropper and John Cropper from the CCL partnership, making it necessary for the Partnership to retain new independent public accountants. Bruce Cropper and John Cropper subsequently joined the accounting firm of Armanino McKenna, LLP ("Armanino"). Based upon the long-standing relationship between the Partnership and Bruce Cropper and John Cropper, the Partnership's General Partner determined that it was in the best interest of the Partnership to retain Armanino as the Partnership's independent public accountants, effective as of January 1, 2001. The Partnership believes, and has been advised by Mr. John Cropper that he concurs, that for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership and CCL, as well as Armanino, did not have any disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of CCL, would have caused CCL to make reference in connection with its report on the Partnership's financial statements to the subject matter of the disagreement. The report of CCL on the Partnership's financial statements for the years ending December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999, as well as the report of Armanino for the year ending December 31, 2000, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During that period, there were no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. COMPENSATION OF THE GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES BY PARTNERSHIP The Partnership has no officers or directors. The Partnership is managed by the General Partners. There are certain fees and other items paid to management and related parties. A more complete description of management compensation is found in the Prospectus, pages 11-12, under the section "Compensation of the General Partners and the Affiliates," which is incorporated by reference.
