                          REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           MARCH 31, 2002 (unaudited)


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
in 1989, 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 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 loan losses, 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
                           MARCH 31, 2002 (unaudited)

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 March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and 2000, there were loans categorized
as  impaired  by  the  partnership  of  $752,619,  $2,467,891,  and  $2,469,505,
respectively.  In addition the impaired loans have accrued interest and advances
totaling ($4,429),  $828,967,  and $744,127 at March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001
and 2000.  During the quarter under review,  impaired  loans  including  accrued
interest and advances thereon totaling $2,933,698 were paid-off through re-write
of new loans.  The  decrease  in the  carrying  value of the  impaired  loans of
$38,634,  $287,985,  and $159,090 at March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively is included in the allowance for loan losses.  The average recorded
investment in the impaired loans was $752,619, $2,468,698, and $2,470,686, as of
March  31,  2002,  and  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2001,  and  2000,
respectively.  During three months  through March 31, 2002,  and the years ended
December  31, 2001 and 2000,  $0,  $189,690,  and  $158,761 was received as cash
payments on these loans, respectively.

     As presented  in Note 9 to the  financial  statements,  the average loan to
appraised value of security at the time the loans were  consummated at March 31,
2002  and at  December  31,  2001  and  2000 was  81.68%,  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 March 31,  2002,  and at December  31,  2001 and 2000 was  approximately
$769,814, $130,439, and $154,860,  respectively, gross of uncleared deposits and
checks.

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.

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 Loan Losses

     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 loan losses 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 loan losses as of March 31, 2002,  December 31, 2001 and 2000
was as follows:

                                    March 31,                December 31,

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
are charged at 6% of the monthly  balance,  and are accrued net of an  allowance
for  uncollectible  late fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and for
the years ended December 31, 2001,  and 2000 late fee revenue of $160,  $27,748,
and $29,101, respectively, was recorded.

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

     For fees in connection with the review, selection, evaluation,  negotiation
and extension of the loans the partnership  may collect an amount  equivalent to
12% of the  loaned  amount  until 6 months  after  the  termination  date of the
offering.  Thereafter, loan brokerage commissions (points) will be limited to an
amount  not to exceed  4% of the total  partnership  assets  per year.  The loan
brokerage commissions are paid by the borrowers, and thus, are not an expense of
the partnership.  Such commissions totaled $0, $46,581, and $45,164 at March 31,
2002 and for the years ended December 31, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

B. Mortgage Servicing Fees

     Redwood Mortgage Corp.  receives  monthly mortgage  servicing fees of 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.  Mortgage servicing fees of $87,078, $41,406, and $48,556, were
incurred  for the three  months  through  March 31,  2002,  and for years  ended
December 31, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

C. Asset Management Fee

     The general  partners  receive monthly fees for managing the  partnership's
loan  portfolio and operations of up to 1/32 of 1% of the "net asset value" (3/8
of 1% annually).  Management fees of $2,196, $9,115, and $9,780were incurred for
the three  months  through  March 31,  2002,  and for the years 2001,  and 2000,
respectively.

D. Other Fees

     The  Partnership  Agreement  provides for other fees such as  reconveyance,
mortgage  assumption and mortgage extension fees. These fees are incurred by the
borrowers and paid 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%.

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.  During three months  through March 31, 2002,  and for the years 2001,
and 2000, clerical costs totaling $5,954,  $28,156,  and $19,647,  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

     The partnership is a California limited partnership. The rights, duties and
powers of the general and limited  partners of the  partnership  are governed by
the limited  partnership  agreement and Sections 15611 et seq. of the California
Corporations Code.

     The general partners are in complete  control of the partnership  business,
subject to the voting rights of the limited partners on specified  matters.  Any
one of the general  partners acting alone has the power and authority to act for
and bind the partnership.

     A majority of the outstanding  limited  partnership  interests may, without
the permission of the general partners,  vote to: (i) terminate the partnership,
(ii) amend the limited  partnership  agreement,  (iii) approve or disapprove the
sale of all or  substantially  all of the  assets  of the  partnership  and (iv)
remove or replace one or all of the general partners.

     The  approval  of all  limited  partners is required to elect a new general
partner to continue the partnership business where there is no remaining general
partner  after a general  partner  ceases to be a general  partner other than by
removal.

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

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.

     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, and 2000, were $178,200, and $125,000, 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:

     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 $5,763,508,  $4,970,433 and
$5,570,576 at March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The fair
value  of  these  investments  of  $4,986,389,  $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 loan losses 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 March 31, 2002, and at
December  31,  2001 and  2000,  there  were 25,  27,  and 31 loans  outstanding,
respectively, with the following characteristics:

NOTE 11:  RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In  October  2001,  the FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment  or  Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets".   SFAS  144  amends  existing
accounting  guidance on asset impairment and provides a single  accounting model
for long-lived assets to be disposed of. Among other  provisions,  the new rules
change the criteria for classifying an asset as held-for-sale. The standard also
broadens the scope of business to be disposed of that  qualify for  reporting as
discontinued  operations,  and changes the timing of recognizing  losses on such
operations.  The  partnership  will  adopt  SFAS No.  144 in fiscal  year  2002.
Management does not feel that the adoption of this standard will have a material
effect on the partnership's results of operations or financial position.

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                              Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies.

     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.  Such  estimates  relate
principally  to the  determination  of (1) the allowance  for doubtful  accounts
(i.e.  the  amount of  allowance  established  against  loans  receivable  as an
estimate of potential loan losses)  including the accrued  interest and advances
that are  estimated  to be  unrecoverable  based on  estimates  of amounts to be
collected  plus estimates of the value of the property as collateral and (2) the
valuation of real estate acquired through foreclosure.

     Loans and 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.  Provisions  are 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  values  and to  provide  for
unrecoverable  accounts  receivable,  including  impaired  loans,  other  loans,
accrued interest, late fees and advances on loans, and other accounts receivable
(unsecured).

     Recent  trends in the  economy  have been taken into  consideration  in the
aforementioned  process of  arriving at the  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts.
Actual results could vary from the aforementioned provisions for losses.

Forward Looking Statements.

     Some of the  information  in the Form  10-Q  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 2002 includes forward looking statements
and predictions  about the  possibility 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.

     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 March
31, 2002, the partnership's net capital totaled $6,952,833.

     The  partnership  began funding loans in October  1987.  The  partnership's
loans outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2000, and 2001, and for three
months  through  March 31,  2002 were  $5,570,576,  $4,970,433,  and  5,763,508,
respectively.  The marginal increase in loans outstanding from December 31, 2000
to March 31, 2002, was due primarily to the  partnership  utilizing loan payoffs
and interest  receivable  collections to fund additional loans. During the years
2000,  and 2001,  and  three  months  through  March 31,  2002,  loan  principal
collections and net income exceeded limited partner liquidations.

     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 May 2002, the Federal  Reserve met and did not change interest rates.
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.  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.



                                       16




     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-five 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 March 31, 2002,
there was one  property in  foreclosure  totaling  $300,854 or 5.22% of the loan
portfolio.  As of March 31, 2002 the  partnership's  real estate  owned  account
balance was $841,791.  This account had a balance of $767,583, and $1,093,503 as
of December 31, 2000, and 2001, respectively.

     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 loan losses 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  $193,427,  $201,036,  and  $67,811  as
provision for loan losses for the years ended  December 31, 2000,  and 2001, and
three months  through  March 31, 2002,  respectively.  The increase in allowance
from 2000 through March 31, 2002 was to build up reserve as needed for losses in
the future. The partnership  acquired a piece of property through foreclosure in
2000.  Management believes that reserves previously set aside in anticipation of
this  acquisition  are  adequate.  The modest  provision  of $67,811 in doubtful
accounts  provision for the first quarter of 2002 is due to  Managements  belief
that  the  current  overall  reserve  balances  of  $438,423  are  adequate  and
additional reserves set aside are not currently warranted.

     The partnership makes loans primarily in Northern  California.  As of March
31, 2002,  approximately 84%,  ($4,821,253) 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.  In spite of the U.S. recession,
the California Association of Realtors reported that in March 2002 the statewide
median home price had reached its highest point ever of $305,940 up 18.8% from a
year  earlier  and 6.3%  higher than in February  2002.  It also  reported  that
overall  volume of pre-owned  home sales surged 13.1% from the year earlier.  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 decreased in value compared to 2001.  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.  In Santa Clara  County,  the
median home price hit  $535,000 in March 2002,  up 1.9% from  February  but down
5.3% from March,  2001.  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 it depends more heavily than banks and other  similar  credit
type lenders on the value of a property.



                                       17




     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 it
experiences 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 81.68%,  as of March 31, 2002. This did not account for any
changes in property  values for loans,  which were  acquired by the  partnership
during  1998,  1999,  2000,  and  2001  when  Northern  California  Real  Estate
substantially increased in value. This 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 $126,405,  $128,443,  and
$80,142,  for  three  months  through  March 31,  2002 and for the  years  ended
December 31, 2001,  and 2000,  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, 2000, and 2001, and three months through March 31, 2002, the
partnership  made  distributions  of  earnings  to  limited  partners  $192,356,
$164,787,  and  $33,661,  respectively.  Distribution  of  earnings  to  limited
partners  for the years ended  December  31,  2000,  and 2001,  and three months
through March 31, 2002, to limited partners' capital accounts and not withdrawn,
was $280,794, $257,598, and $63,154,  respectively. As of December 31, 2000, and
2001,  limited partners electing to withdraw earnings  represented 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, 2000,  and 2001, and
three  months  through  March  31,  2002,  $200,417,   $187,804,   and  $28,422,
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, 2000,  and 2001,  and three months  through March 31,
2002, respectively, and is expected by the general partners to commonly occur at
these levels.



                                       18




     Additionally,  for the years ended  December 31, 2000,  and 2001, and three
months through March 31, 2002, $686,923,  $484,158,  and $91,336,  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),and  three months  through March 31, 2002 is shown

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").
