Part I
Item 1 - Business
Redwood Mortgage Investors VI is a California Limited Partnership (the
"partnership"). Michael R. Burwell and Gymno Corporation, a California
corporation, are the general partners. The address of the general partners is
650 El Camino Real, Suite G, Redwood City, California 94063. The partnership's
primary purpose is to invest its capital in first and second deeds of trust
secured by Northern California properties. Loans are arranged and serviced by
Redwood Mortgage Corp., an affiliate of the general partners. The partnership's
objectives are to make investments which will: (i) provide the maximum possible
cash returns which limited partners may elect to (a) receive as monthly,
quarterly or annual cash distributions or (b) have earnings credited to their
capital accounts and used to invest in partnership activities; and (ii) preserve
and protect the partnership's capital. The partnership's general business is
more fully described under the section entitled "Investment Objectives and
Criteria", pages 23-26 of the Prospectus, a part of the above-referenced
Registration Statement, which is incorporated by reference.
The partnership was formed in September, 1987, with an approved 120,000
Units of $100 each ($12,000,000). The Units were offered on a "best efforts"
basis through broker/dealer member firms of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. It immediately began issuing Units and began investing
in loans in October, 1987. The offering terminated in September, 1989, and as of
that date 97,725.94 Units were sold realizing proceeds of $9,772,594. At
December 31, 2001, the partnership had a balance of loans totaling $4,970,433
with interest rates thereon ranging from 6.50% to 14.75%.
Currently First Trust Deeds comprise 75.85% of the total amount of loan
portfolio. Second Mortgage Trust Deeds comprise 22.86% of loan portfolio and
Third Mortgage Trust Deeds comprise 1.29% of the loan portfolio. Owner-occupied
homes, combined with non-owner occupied homes, total 18.57% of the loans. Loans
to apartments make up 11.31% of the total loans portfolio. Commercial loan
origination increased from last year, now comprising 70.12% of the portfolio, an
increase of 6.07% from 2000. The past year brought many outstanding low loan to
value lending opportunities in the commercial segment of the market. The major
concentration of loans, comprising 77.57% of the total loans, are in four
counties of the San Francisco Bay Area. The County of Sacramento makes up 10.20%
of the loan portfolio. The balance, as stated on page five of this report, are
primarily in Northern California. Currently loan size is averaging $184,090 per
loan. Some of the loans are fractionalized between affiliated partnerships with
objectives similar to those of the partnership to further reduce risk. Average
equity per loan transaction stood at 28.73%. A 40% equity average on loan
origination is generally considered very conservative. Generally, the more
equity, the more protection for the lender. The partnership's loan portfolio had
only three properties in foreclosure as of the end of December 2001, which
represents 8.84% of the partnership's loan portfolio. Two of the borrowers are
likely to come out of the foreclosure by March 2002, and the other defaulting
borrower is in bankruptcy.

The scheduled maturities for 2002 include $2,935,731, representing 59% of
the portfolio, which are past maturity at December 31, 2001. $439,311 (8.84% of
the loan portfolio) of those loans were categorized as delinquent over 90 days.
. Several of these borrowers were in the process of refinancing the loans
through other institutions as this was an opportune time for them to do so and
take advantage of lower interest rates. Additionally, the partnership allows
borrowers to occasionally continue to make the regular interest payments on debt
past maturity for periods of time. The partnership, in most instances, receives
the benefit of a higher interest rate than would otherwise be available in the
currently existing loan marketplace. Interest payments on three of these loans
were delinquent.
Item 3 - 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. The partnership is a
defendant along with numerous defendants, including a developer, contractor, and
other lenders, in a lawsuit involving the partnership's attempt to recover its
investment in real estate acquired through foreclosure.
Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders (Partners)

Item 7 - Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations Forward Looking Statements.
Some of the information in the Form 10-K may contain forward looking
statements. Uses of words such as "will", "may", "anticipate", "estimate",
"continue" or other forward looking words, discuss future expectations or
predictions. The foregoing analysis of 2001 includes forward looking statements
and predictions about possible of future events, results of operations and
financial condition. As such, this analysis may prove to be inaccurate because
of assumptions made by the general partners or the actual development of the
future events. No assurance can be given that any of these statements or
predictions will ultimately prove to be correct or substantially correct.
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
December 31, 2001, the partnership's net capital totaled $7,009,436.
The partnership began funding loans in October 1987. The partnership's
loans outstanding for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, and 2001 were
$5,282,773, $5,570,576, and $4,970,433 respectively. The decrease in loans
outstanding from December 31, 1999 to December 31, 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 1999, 2000, and 2001, loan
principal collections exceeded limited partner liquidations.
Beginning 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 eleven successive cuts,
ranging from .25% to .50%. The latest cut being December 11, 2001, which reduced
the Federal Funds Rate to 1.75%. In late January 2002, the Federal Reserve met
and did not change interest rates signaling that it may take a wait and see
course before making any further interest rate changes. 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, the general partners anticipate that 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. 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 occur, we expect to replace these loans with loans at somewhat lower
interest rates. At this time, the general partners believe that the average loan
portfolio interest rate will decline approximately .25% to .50% over the year
2002. 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 year 2002.
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 December 31, 2001,
there were three properties in foreclosure totaling $439,311 or 8.84% of the
loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2001 the partnership's real estate owned
account balance was $1,185,380. This account had a balance of $133,300,
$767,583, and $1,185,380 as of December 31, 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively.
The increase was due to acquisition and paying off the first lien holder of a
commercial property through foreclosure recorded as REO in process in December
1999. As of December 31, 2001 the partnership disposed of one of its other
pieces of real estate owned property through sale.
Cash is continually being generated from interest earnings, late charges,
prepayment penalties, and amortization of principal and loan pay-offs.
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 $437,558, $193,427, and
$201,036 as provision for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31,
1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively. The increase in allowance for 1999, 2000,
and 2001 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 modest incremental increase of $7,609 in doubtful accounts
provision for the year 2001 is due to Managements belief that the current
overall reserve balances of $462,489 are adequate and additional reserves set
aside are not currently warranted.
The partnership makes loans primarily in Northern California. As of
December 31, 2001, approximately 78%, ($3,855,721) 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. Like the rest of the nation, the San Francisco Bay
Area has also felt the recession and accompanying slow down in economic growth
and increasing unemployment. The technology companies of Silicon Valley, the
airline industry, the tourism industry and other industries are feeling the
effects of the overall United States recession, which includes lower earnings,
losses and layoffs.
The Northern California residential real estate market and particularly the
San Francisco Bay Area residential real estate market experienced increases in
values of over 10% in 1999 and 2000, respectively. In 2001, the residential real
estate marketplace slowed, this has resulted in longer listing and transaction
times and lower market prices in some segments. The California Association of
Realtors reported in November 2001 that the statewide median home price had
reached its highest point ever with a median home price of $278,740 up 11.2%
from a year earlier and 2.4% higher than in October of 2001. It also reported
that overall volume of home sales slipped 12.4% from the year earlier. In spite
of these California wide higher home prices, the San Francisco Bay Area
experienced median sales prices through October of 2001 of between minus 4.2% to
a positive 16.7% for resale homes. In spite of these numbers the general
partners believe that lower-end and mid-priced homes have continued to increase
in value, although at a reduced rate from 2000, while high end homes have begun
to decrease in value. This situation is showing some signs of a turnaround.
Inventories of homes available for sale have decreased sharply from their highs
in the spring of 2001. For example, the supply of "for sale" homes, condominiums
and townhomes in Santa Clara County peaked the week of May 25, 2001, at more
than 5,700, according to Coldwell Banker Northern California statistics. As of
January 18, 2002, fewer than 2,500 homes were "for sale" countywide. Other
counties in the San Francisco Bay Area offer similar statistics. The number of
single-family home sales in Santa Clara County was 962 for December 2001 which
is the greatest number of homes sold since records became public in 1984. The
reduction in inventories and the strong sales may indicate that the buyer's
market that prevailed throughout most of 2001 may be coming to an end and may
indicate that a recovery is underway. A stabilization of residential home prices
or a recovery in home prices is good for the partnership since we depend more
heavily than banks and other similar credit type lenders on the value of a
property.
Commercial property vacancy rates have continued to climb with the San
Francisco Bay Area office market surpassing 15% as a whole according to BT
Commercial Real Estate and Grubb and Ellis Co. As a result, rents have dropped
about 40% from last year's highs, giving up nearly all the gains made during the
past three years. Though vacancy rates have leaped from 2 percent in the third
quarter of 2000 to 15% at the end of 2001, landlords are bearing only about half
the pain, since nearly half the office space being offered is for sublease,
meaning landlords generally are still collecting money from the original
tenants. To the partnership the higher overall vacancy rates may mean that we
experience greater delinquencies in its commercial portion of the portfolio if
landlord's existing leases expire or space becomes available through business
failures.
The partnership had an average loan to value ratio computed as of the date
the loan was made of 71.27%, as of December 31, 2001. This did not account for
any changes 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.
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 $128,443, $80,142, and
$20,377, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, 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, 1999 2000, and 2001, the partnership made distributions of
earnings to limited partners after allocation of syndication costs of $217,526,
$192,356, and $164,787, respectively. Distribution of earnings to limited
partners after allocation of syndication costs for the years ended December 31,
1999, 2000, and 2001, to limited partners' capital accounts and not withdrawn,
was $298,174, $280,794, and $257,598, respectively. As of December 31, 1999,
2000, and 2001, limited partners electing to withdraw earnings represented 42%,
41%, and 36%, 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, 1999, 2000, and 2001,
$128,295, $200,417, and $187,804, 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,
1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively, and is expected by the general partners to
commonly occur at these levels.
Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, and 2001,
$847,067, $686,923, and $484,158, 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 thirteen (2001), is shown hereunder, which confirms the general partners
theory on the liquidation habits of the limited partners:

*These amounts represent gross of early withdrawal penalties.
In some cases in order to satisfy Broker Dealers and other reporting
requirements, the general partners have valued the limited partners' interest in
the partnership on a basis which utilizes a per unit system of calculation,
rather than based upon the investors' capital account. This information has been
reported in this manner in order to allow the partnership to integrate with
certain software used by the Broker Dealers and other reporting entities. In
those cases, the partnership will report to Broker Dealers, Trust Companies and
others a "reporting" number of units based upon a $1.00 per unit calculation.
The number of reporting units provided will be calculated based upon the limited
partner's capital account value divided by $1.00. Each investor's capital
account balance is set forth periodically on the partnership account statement
provided to investors. The reporting units are solely for Broker Dealers
requiring such information for their software programs and do not reflect actual
units owned by a limited partner or the limited partners' right or interest in
cash flow or any other economic benefit 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, there is
no certainty that the units can be sold at a price equal to the stated value of
the capital account. Furthermore, 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").

REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL
Redwood Mortgage Investors VI, (the "partnership") is a California Limited
Partnership, of which the general partners are Michael R. Burwell and Gymno
Corporation, a California corporation owned and operated on an equal 50/50%
basis by Michael R Burwell and by D. Russell Burwell, a former general partner.
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., an
affiliate of the general partners. The offering of partnership units was closed
with contributed capital totaling $9,781,366.
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 the 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 during 1998.
B. Other Organizational and Offering Expenses
Organizational and offering expenses, other than sales commissions,
including printing costs, attorney and accountant expenses, and other costs,
paid by the partnership from the offering proceeds totaled $360,885 or 3.69% of
the gross proceeds contributed by the limited partners. Such costs have been
fully amortized and allocated to the limited 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.
Any subsequent payments on impaired loans are applied to the outstanding
balances on the partnership's books.
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
DECEMBER 31, 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
effective interest method.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements (SFAS) 114 and 118 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.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, there were loans categorized as impaired by
the partnership of $2,467,891 and $2,469,505, respectively. In addition the
impaired loans have accrued interest and advances totaling $828,967 and $744,127
at December 31, 2001 and 2000. The decrease in the carrying value of the
impaired loans of $287,985, and $159,090 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively is included in the allowance for doubtful accounts. The average
recorded investment in the impaired loans was $2,468,698, $2,470,686, and
$2,471,869 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, $189,690 and $158,761 was
received as cash payments on these loans, respectively.
As presented in Note 10 to the financial statements as of December 31,
2001, the average loan to appraised value of security at the time the loans were
consummated at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was 71.27 and 68.93% respectively.
When a loan is valued for impairment purposes, an updating is made in the
valuation of collateral security. However, this loan to value ratio tends to
minimize reductions for impairment.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The partnership considers all highly liquid financial instruments with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The partnership maintains deposits in financial institutions that are in
excess of amounts that would be covered by federal insurance. The maximum amount
of loss based upon the deposits held in the bank that could result from this
risk at December 31, 2001 and 2000 is approximately $130,439 and $154,860
respectively.
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

foreclosure and the recorded reductions to estimated fair values, less estimated

=============== =============
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. 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 December 31, 2001 and
2000 was as follows:
December 31,

Impaired loans $287,985 $159,090

REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001
H. 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.
I. Late Fee Revenue
The partnership recognizes late fee revenue when it is earned. Late fees

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. In 2001, 2000 and 1999, clerical costs totaling $28,156, $19,647, and
$21,748, respectively, were reimbursed to Redwood Mortgage Corp. and are
included in expenses in the Statements of Income.
G. Contributed Capital
The general partners jointly or severally were to contribute 1/10 of 1% in
cash contributions as proceeds from the offerings are received from the limited
partners. . As of December 31, 1989, a general partner, GYMNO Corporation, had
contributed $9,772, 1/10 of 1% of limited partner contributions in accordance
with the Partnership Agreement.
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, partners 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. Subject to certain limitations, a
compounding investor may subsequently change his election, but an investor's
election to have cash distributions is irrevocable.
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 penalties collected by the partnership
are currently credited to income since the syndication costs have been fully
allocated and the formation loan has been entirely paid.

(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 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. Mortgage servicer subsidies
for the years 2001, 2000, and 1999 were $178,200, $125,000, and $300,000,
respectively.
NOTE 6 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The partnership is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal
course of business. In the opinion of management, such matters will not have a
material effect upon the financial position of the partnership.
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:
December 31,
--------------------------------
2001 2000
---------- ----------
Net assets - partners' capital
per financial statements $7,009,436 $7,423,800
Allowance for doubtful accounts 370,612 261,452
--------------- --------------
Net assets tax basis $7,380,048 $7,685,252
=============== ==============
In 2001 and 2000, approximately 73% and 73%, respectively, 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.

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)) carrying value was $4,970,433 and $5,570,576
at December 31, 2001 and 2000 respectively. The fair value of these investments
of $5,036,556 and $5,639,252 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 December 31, 2001 and 2000,
there were 27 and 31 loans outstanding, respectively, with the following

Item 9 - Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure.
Bruce and/or John Cropper (the Croppers) have been performing audit and
accounting services to the general partners of the partnership and their
affiliates for over 17 years. They have been providing auditing and accounting
services to the partnership for the past 15 years through the following CPA
firms: 1987-1998 - Parodi & Cropper, CPA's; 1999 - Caporicci, Cropper & Larson,
LLP and 2000-2001 - Armanino McKenna LLP.
Bruce and John Cropper were shareholders in Cropper Accountancy Corp.
through December 31, 2000.
Cropper Accountancy was a partner in the firm of Parodi & Cropper from 1987
until April of 1998. In May of 1998, Cropper Accountancy Corp., formed a
partnership with Caporicci & Larson creating a new firm with offices in Irvine
and Walnut Creek, California. The Parodi & Cropper firm was dissolved.
Effective January 1, 2001, Cropper Accountancy Corp., withdrew from the
Caporicci, Cropper & Larson, LLP partnership. John Cropper joined the larger
regional firm of Armanino McKenna LLP as a partner and Bruce Cropper continues
to provide services through Cropper Accountancy. As a result, the partnership
has retained the firm of Armanino McKenna, LLP, to provide its audit and
financial services. Thus, although there has been a change in accounting firms,
there has not been a change in accountants and there have not been any
disagreements on any matter of accounting principals, practices or financial
status disclosures.
