                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 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.


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.

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 dates 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.

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.  Loans are 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 amounts due
according to the contractual  terms of the loan agreement,  and the shortfall in
amounts due are not insignificant,  the carrying amount of the investment (cost)
shall be reduced to the  present  value of future cash flows  discounted  at the
loan's effective interest rate. If a loan is collateral dependent,  it is valued
at the estimated fair value of the related collateral.

     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.  At  September  30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001,  there were loans  categorized as impaired by the Partnership
of $451,765 and  $2,467,891,  respectively.  In addition the impaired loans have
accrued  interest,  late charges and advances  totaling  $12,796 and $828,967 at
September  30, 2002,  and December 31, 2001.  During the first  quarter of 2002,
impaired  loans  including   accrued  interest  and  advances  thereon  totaling
$2,933,698 were paid-off and re-written. The decrease in the carrying value

                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 (unaudited)


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     of the impaired loans of $38,634,  and $287,985,  at September 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001,  respectively,  is included in the allowance for loan losses.
The  average  recorded  investment  in  the  impaired  loans  was  $451,765  and
$2,468,698, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and for the year ended
December 31, 2001,  respectively.  During the nine months through  September 30,
2002,  and the year ended  December 31, 2001, $0 and  $189,690,  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  for loans
still  outstanding at September 30, 2002 and at December 31, 2001 was 85.46% and
71.27%,  respectively.  When  loans are  valued  for  impairment  purposes,  the
allowance  is updated  to reflect  the  change 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.

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.

     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:

F. Income Taxes

     No provision for Federal and State income taxes, except for a minimum state
tax of $800,  is made in the  financial  statements  since  income taxes are the
obligation of the partners if and when income taxes apply.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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 loan losses 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  loans
and receivables,  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  September  30,  2002 and
December 31, 2001 was as follows:

                                       September 30,             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 net income 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 nine months ended  September 30, 2002 and
September  30,  2001,  late fee  revenue of $723 and $1,064,  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 $15,511 and $33,206,  for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, 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 $111,836 and $31,757, were incurred
for the nine  months  through  September  30,  2002,  and  September  30,  2001,
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 $6,535 and $6,879 were incurred for the nine
months through September 30, 2002, and September 30, 2001, respectively.

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.  Investors have the right to withdraw their capital over
a five-year period, or longer.

B. Election to Receive Monthly, Quarterly or Annual Distributions

     Upon subscription,  investors elected either to receive monthly,  quarterly
or  annual  distributions  of  earnings  allocations,  or to allow  earnings  to
compound.   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

     There  are  substantial   restrictions  on  transferability  of  Units  and
accordingly an investment in the Partnership is not liquid. Limited partners had
no right to  withdraw  from the  Partnership  or to obtain  the  return of their
capital account for at least one year from the date of purchase of Units,  which
in all  instances  had occurred as of September  30, 2002. In order to provide a
certain degree of liquidity to the limited  partners after the one-year  period,
limited  partners may withdraw all or part of their  capital  accounts  from the
Partnership  in four  quarterly  installments  beginning  on the last day of the
calendar  quarter  following  the quarter in which the Notice of  Withdrawal  is
given,  subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. The 10% penalty is applicable
to the amount  withdrawn  early and will be deducted  from the capital  account.
Withdrawal  after the one-year  holding period and before the five-year  holding
period described below was permitted only upon the terms set forth above.

     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 committed to subsidize  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.  Mortgage
servicer  subsidies  for the year 2001,  were  $178,200.  The note was paid-off,
together with accrued interest, in June, 2002.


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  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.


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) Secured  loans - (see note 2 (c))  carrying  value was  $5,593,401  and
$4,970,433 at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,  respectively.  The fair
value of these investments of $4,835,919and  $5,036,556 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  is also
considered in evaluating the fair value versus the carrying value.

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 OF THE PARTNERSHIP

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.  At September 30, 2002,
there were 3 properties 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.

Related Parties.

     The general  partners  of the  Partnership  are Gymno Corp.  and Michael R.
Burwell.  Most Partnership business is conducted through Redwood Mortgage Corp.,
an affiliate of the general partner, which arranges,  services and maintains the
loan  portfolio for the benefit of the  Partnership.  The following is a list of
various Partnership activities for which related parties are compensated.

     o Mortgage  Brokerage  Commissions  For fees in connection with the review,
selection,  evaluation,  negotiation and extension of 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, the loan brokerage commissions
(points) will be limited to and 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. For the nine months ended September
30, 2002 and 2001, loan brokerage commissions paid by the borrowers were $15,511
and $33,206, respectively.

     o Mortgage  Servicing Fees Monthly mortgage  servicing fees of up to 1/8 of
1% (1.5% on an annual basis) of the unpaid principal of the Partnership's  loans
is paid to Redwood  Mortgage  Corp.,  or such lesser amount as is reasonable and
customary in the  geographic  area where the  property  securing the mortgage is
located.  Mortgage  servicing fees of $111,836 and $31,757 were incurred for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.


     o Asset  Management  Fee The  general  partners  receive  monthly  fees for
managing the Partnership's portfolio and operations up to 1/32 of 1% of the `net
asset  value'  (3/8 of 1% on an annual  basis).  Management  fees to the general
partners of $6,535 and $6,879  were  incurred  by the  Partnership  for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     o Other Fees The Partnership  agreement  provides that the general partners
may receive other fees such as  reconveyance,  mortgage  assumption and mortgage
extension  fees.  Such fees are  incurred by the  borrowers  and are paid to the
general partners.

     o Income and Losses  All  income  and  losses  are  credited  or charged to
partners in relation to their respective Partnership  interests.  The allocation
to the general partners (combined) shall be a total of 1%.

     o Operating  Expenses An affiliate  of the  Partnership,  Redwood  Mortgage
Corp.,  is reimbursed by the  Partnership  for all operating  expenses  actually
incurred  by it 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. Such reimbursements are reflected as expenses in the statement
of income.

     o Contributed  Capital The general  partners  jointly and severally were to
contribute 1/10 of 1% in cash  contributions  as proceeds from the offerings are
received from the limited partners. As of September 30, 2002 and 2001, a general
partner, Gymno Corporation,  had contributed $9,766 and $9,766 respectively,  as
capital in accordance with Section 4.02(a) of the partnership agreement.

Results of Operations - For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002
and 2001

     The net  income  decrease  of  $15,001  (14%)  for the three  months  ended
September  30, 2002 versus the three month period ended  September  30, 2001 was
due  primarily to a decrease in interest  earned on loans of $754, a decrease in
interest-interest  bearing  accounts of $2,754 (69%),  a decrease in interest on
promissory  note of $3,476,  a reduction  in late charges of $2,278  (58%),  and
expense  increases.  Significant  expense increases or (decreases) for the three
month period ended September 30, 2002 versus  September 30, 2001 included higher
mortgage servicing fees of $2,477, and a decrease in the provision for losses on
loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure of ($5,115).

     The net  income  decrease  of  $43,586  (13%)  for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 2002 versus the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 was due
primarily to an increase in interest  earned on loans of $89,312 and an increase
in late charges of $17,149;  offset by expense  increases.  Significant  expense
increases or  (decreases)  for the nine month period  ended  September  30, 2002
versus September 30, 2001 included higher mortgage servicing fees of $80,079, an
increase in the provision for losses on loans and real estate  acquired  through
foreclosure of $62,103, and an increase in professional fees of $8,357.

     The  increase  (decrease)  in  interest on loans of ($754) (1%) and $89,312
(23%) for the three and nine month  periods  ended  September  30,  2002  versus
September  30,  2001 was due to  collection  of  interest  on  loans  previously
considered  impaired a higher average loan portfolio balance;  offset by a lower
average loan portfolio  interest rate. The balance of the secured loan portfolio
at September 30, 2002 and 2001 was $5,593,401 and $4,919,661, respectively.

     The  decrease in  interest-interest  bearing  accounts of $2,754  (69%) and
$7,862  (66%) for the three and nine month  periods  ended  September  30,  2002
versus  September  30, 2001 is due to reduced  cash during 2002 held in interest
bearing accounts and significantly reduced returns from interest bearing account
in 2002 versus 2001.

     The decrease in interest on promissory  note to 0 in the three months ended
September 30, 2002 is reflective of the note being paid off earlier in 2002. The
increase  in  interest on  promissory  note of $2,216  (45%) for the nine months
ended  September  30, 2002 versus  September  30, 2001 is reflective of a higher
average balance outstanding in 2002 versus 2001.

     The  decrease in late charge  revenue of $2,278  (58%) for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 versus 2001 is reflective of less loans delinquent. The



     increase in late charge revenue of $17,149 (134%) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 versus September 30, 2001 reflects greater collection of past
due borrower payments in 2002.

     The increase in mortgage  servicing fees of $2,477 (25%) and $80,079 (252%)
for the three and nine month periods ended  September 30, 2002 versus  September
30, 2001 is primarily  attributable  higher average loan  portfolio  balances at
September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     The increase  (decrease)  of ($5,115) and $62,103  (914%) in provision for
losses on loans  and real  estate  acquired  through  foreclosure  for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 versus the respective  three and
nine month  periods  ended  September  30, 2001  reflects the general  partners'
estimate of an appropriate  allowance for anticipated  losses.  At September 30,
2002,  total  provisions  for losses on loans and real estate  acquired  through
foreclosure  equaled  $398,062,  which  the  general  partners  consider  to  be
adequate.

     The increase in professional fees of $9,247 (412%) and $8,357 (45%) for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 versus  September 30, 2001 is due
to the Partnership  incurring greater costs and timing  differences in 2002 than
in 2001 in  relation  to its audit and tax return  processing  and the timing of
such charges.

     Since January 2001, the Federal Reserve has been  dramatically  cutting its
core interest rates with twelve successive cuts,  ranging from .25% to .50%. The
latest cut occurred on November 6, 2002, which reduced the Federal Funds Rate to
1.25%. 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 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. Demand for loans from qualified
borrowers  continues to be strong and as prepayments occur, we expect to replace
paid off 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  .50% to .75%  over the year  2002.  The  September  2002
quarter  shows a  reduction  in interest  income of $754 over the  corresponding
quarter of 2001. Interest income for the nine month period through September 30,
2002, however,  shows an overall increase of $89,312 over the September 30, 2001
interest income. This occurred due to 1st quarter 2002 collection of interest on
loans,  previously  considered  impaired.  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 5.25% and 6.00% for the
year 2002.

     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 nine (and
three  months)  ended  September  30,  2002  and  2001,  the  Partnership   made
distributions of earnings to limited  partners of $95,484 and $121,392  ($30,071
and  $38,263),  respectively.  Distribution  of earnings for the nine and (three
months) ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, to limited partners' capital accounts
and  not   withdrawn,   was  $184,301  and  $201,543   ($59,379  and   $66,037),
respectively.  As of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,  limited partners
electing to withdraw  earnings  represented 35%, 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 nine (and three months) ended September 30, 2002
and 2001,  $72,922  and  $130,611  ($17,257  and  $44,050),  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, 2001, and the nine months through September 30, 2002,  respectively,  and is
expected by the general partners to commonly occur at these levels.


     Additionally,  for the nine (and three months) ended September 30, 2002 and
2001,  $277,567  and  $354,083  ($101,141  and  $102,044),   respectively,  were
liquidated  by limited  partners who have elected a  liquidation  program over a
period of five years or longer.  The  general  partners  expect a portion of the
limited  partners to take advantage of this provision.  This had the anticipated
effect of the Partnership growing, primarily through reinvestment of earnings in
years one through five. Then 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.

     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  September  30,
2002,  there  were no  loans  in  foreclosure.  As of  September  30,  2002  the
Partnership's real estate owned account balance was $1,143,903. This account had
a balance of $1,093,503  as of December 31, 2001.  The  Partnership  acquired an
additional  piece of property  through  foreclosure  as of  September  30, 2002.
Management  believes that reserves  previously set aside in anticipation of this
acquisition  are adequate.  The  Partnership  has an interest in land located in
East Palo Alto, CA which was acquired  through  foreclosure.  The  Partnership's
basis of $128,001 and $128,443 for the nine months  through  September  30, 2002
and for the year ended December 31, 2001,  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.

     The general partners received Mortgage Brokerage  Commissions from the loan
borrowers  of $1,906 and $15,511 for the three and nine months  ended  September
30, 2002 as  compared  to $0 and  $33,206  for the three and nine  months  ended
September  30, 2001.  The  reduction  is due to less loans  written in the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Current Economic Conditions.

     The  Partnership  makes  loans  primarily  in  Northern  California.  As of
September 30, 2002,  approximately  85%,  ($4,740,152)  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.

     Despite  fears over failing  businesses,  ongoing job losses and  dwindling
stock  portfolios,  the real estate  market seems to be doing  remarkably  well.
According to the San Jose  Mercury News of August 20, 2002,  Bay Area home sales
rose 22% in July compared  with a year earlier,  continuing an upward trend that
began in January.  The median price of homes in the nine-county area rose nearly
10% from last year to $436,000.  With the Bay Area economy  still  faltering and
unemployment  as high as 7.6% in Santa  Clara  County,  many had  expected  real
estate  prices would be down by now, not up from a year ago.  Mortgage  rates at
historic  lows and a decent  supply of homes on the  market  have kept the local
market  relatively  busy,   especially  for  lower-priced  homes.  Annual  price
appreciation varied from 5.1% in Santa Clara County,  where the median price was
$515,000 for existing single-family homes sold in July, to 22.5% in Napa County,
where the median price was $359,000.  Sales of single-family homes rose 22.8% in
Santa Clara County,  according to statistics  released by DataQuick  Information
Systems,  which  gathers  data from  public  records.  Most  counties  saw sales
activity increase more than 20% from last year, and the growth was closer to 30%
in  Alameda  and San Mateo  counties.  But the July data  reflects  transactions
negotiated  in May and June,  and local  real  estate  agents say the market has


slowed dramatically since June. "I think fewer transactions and lower prices are
in the near  future,"  said  Gary  Shapiro  of ReMax  Real  Estate  Services  in
Cupertino. "It's already here." The slowdown is partly a normal seasonal change,
real estate agents say, as prospective  buyers  vacation rather than house hunt.
For the Partnership, these statistics imply that the values of the homes secured
by mortgages in our portfolio  should remain firm and assist in reducing  losses
if the take back of collateral through the foreclosure process should eventuate.
It  also  implies  increased  loan  activity,  as  the  number  of  real  estate
transactions is increasing, leaving more loan opportunities for lenders.

     According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "The Bay Area commercial market's
fundamental indicators are showing signs of hitting bottom, but a recovery is at
least 18 months  away,  according  to reports  last week from major real  estate
services  firms.  At the end of the third quarter,  both Cushman & Wakefield and
Grubb & Ellis found  incremental  positive  news for the stagnant San  Francisco
office market,  but it was barely reason to smile.  Cushman & Wakefield said the
rate of decline in asking  rents has slowed  substantially.  Average rent in the
central  business  district  fell to $31.56  per  square  foot from  $32.40  the
previous  quarter.  Grubb & Ellis said the San Francisco  office market showed a
positive net  absorption,  or demand,  for the first time in two years.  A grand
total of 127,000  square feet was  absorbed." To the  Partnership,  these higher
vacancy  rates  may  mean  that we could  experience  higher  delinquencies  and
foreclosures  if our  borrowers'  tenants'  leases  expire or their rental space
becomes available through business failures.

     As of September 30, 2002 the Partnership had an average loan to value ratio
computed  as of the date the loan was made of 85.46%.  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.


           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The  following  table  contains  information  about  the cash held in money
market accounts,  and loans held in the partnership's  portfolio as of September
30, 2002. The  presentation,  for each category of  information,  aggregates the
assets and liabilities by their maturity dates for maturities  occurring in each
of the years 2002 through 2006 and separately aggregates the information for all
maturities  arising  after  2006.  The  carrying  values  of  these  assets  and
liabilities approximate their fair market values as of September 30, 2002:

Market Risk

     The Partnership's  primary market risk in terms of its profitability is the
exposure to  fluctuations  in earnings  resulting from  fluctuations  in general
interest rates. The majority of the  Partnership's  mortgage loans,  (100% as of
September 30, 2002) earn interest at fixed rates.  Changes in interest rates may
also affect the value of the Partnership's  investment in mortgage loans and the
rates at which the Partnership reinvests funds obtained from loan repayments and
new capital contributions from limited partners. If interest rates increase, the
interest  rates the  Partnership  obtains from  reinvested  funds will generally
increase,  but the value of the Partnership's existing loans at fixed rates will
generally  tend to  decrease.  The  risk  is  mitigated  by the  fact  that  the
Partnership  does not intend to sell its loan  portfolio,  rather such loans are
held until they are paid off. If interest rates decrease,  the amounts  becoming
available to the  Partnership  for  investment  due to repayment of  Partnership
loans may be  reinvested  at lower rates than the  Partnership  had been able to
obtain in prior investments, or than the rates on the repaid loans. In addition,
interest rate  decreases may encourage  borrowers to refinance  their loans with
the  Partnership at a time where the  Partnership is unable to reinvest in loans
of comparable value.


     The  Partnership  does not hedge or otherwise seek to manage  interest rate
risk. The Partnership does not enter into risk sensitive instruments for trading
purposes.

Controls and Procedures

     Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the General Partner of
the  Partnership  carried out an evaluation,  under the supervision and with the
participation  of  the  General  Partner's  management,  including  the  General
Partner's  President and Chief Financial  Officer,  of the  effectiveness of the
design and operation of the  Partnership's  disclosure  controls and  procedures
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation,  the President
and  Chief  Financial   Officer  of  the  General  Partner  concluded  that  the
Partnership's  disclosure  controls and procedures are effective.  There were no
significant  changes in the Partnership's  internal controls or in other factors
that could  significantly  affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation.

     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  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").
