NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial
position as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, its results of
operations, and partners' capital for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2001 and 2000 and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended September
30, 2001 and 2000.  These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

  See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 2000 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Partnership's
financial statements.

Note 1 - Organization and Business

  Copley Pension Properties VI; A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose
of investing primarily in newly constructed and existing income producing real
properties.  It primarily serves as an investment for qualified pension and
profit sharing plans and other organizations intended to be exempt from federal
income tax.  The Partnership commenced operations in July 1988, and has disposed
of all its real estate investments as of September 30, 2001.  The Partnership
intends to liquidate and dissolve in 2002.

Note 2 - Investment in Joint Venture

  On February 26, 2001, the Prentiss Copystar joint venture investment in which
the Partnership and an affiliate were entitled to 69% and 31%, respectively, of
the operating activity, sold its property to an unaffiliated third party for
gross proceeds of $4,575,000, of which the Partnership's share was $3,156,750.
The Partnership received its 69% share of the net proceeds, $3,053,760 after
closing costs, and had recognized an initial gain on the sale of $972,678. Due
to additional costs of sale, offset by a receipt of additional proceeds in the
third quarter, the gain was decreased to $970,260 ($19.69 per limited
partnership unit).  A disposition fee of $94,703 was accrued but not paid to AEW
Real Estate Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor").  In accordance with the Partnership
agreement, a portion of this previously accrued fee was reversed during the
third quarter of 2001, decreasing the fee to $44,826.  On March 29, 2001, the
Partnership made a capital distribution of $2,683,340 ($55.00 per limited
partnership unit) from the proceeds of the sale.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership
interest on December 31, 1988.  A total of 48,788 units were sold.  The
Partnership received proceeds of $43,472,858, net of selling commissions and
other offering costs, which have been used for investment in real estate and for
the payment of related acquisition costs, or retained as working capital
reserves.  The Partnership made seven real estate investments; one investment
was sold in each of 1990, 1994 and 1997 and two investments were sold in each of
1998 and 2001.  Through September 30, 2001, capital of $48,787,999 ($1,000 per
limited partnership unit) has been returned to the limited partners; $45,903,165
as a result of sales and $2,884,834 as a result of a discretionary reduction of
original working capital previously held in reserves.

    At September 30, 2001, the Partnership had $1,839,886 in cash and cash
equivalents, which is being retained as a reserve in connection with the
liquidation of the Partnership and for the payment of deferred disposition fees
of $807,989. A distribution of operational cash previously held in reserves was
made on July 26, 2001 in the amount of $6.40 per limited partnership unit.  A
capital distribution of original working capital previously held in reserves was
made on April 26, 2001 in the amount of $24.49 per limited partnership unit.
With the exception of the operational cash distribution of reserves discussed
above, there have been no operating cash distributions made since the fourth
quarter of 1999 due to Prentiss Copystar's vacancy from September 1999 through
August 2000 and its subsequent sale in February 2001 as well as insufficient
cash flow from Wilmington Industrial as a result of property level obligations
which reduced its cash flow to the Partnership.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

    Form of Real Estate Investments

    The Wilmington Industrial investment was a wholly-owned property which
was sold on August 8, 2001.  The Prentiss Copystar real estate investment was
structured as a joint venture and was sold on February 26, 2001.

     Operating Factors

     As mentioned above, the Prentiss Copystar joint venture investment in which
the Partnership and an affiliate were entitled to 69% and 31% of the operating
activity, respectively, sold its property on February 26, 2001.  The Partnership
recognized its 69% share of the gain of $970,260. At the time of the sale,
Prentiss Copystar was 100% leased.

     As mentioned above, the Wilmington Industrial investment sold its property
on August 8, 2001.  The Partnership recognized a gain of $3,699,118.  At the
time of the sale, Wilmington Industrial was 100% leased.

    Investment Results

    Interest income on cash equivalents for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, was $25,395 and $82,682, respectively, compared to $29,695
and $92,849 for the same periods in 2000. The decreases of approximately $4,000
and $10,000 for the comparative three and nine month periods are primarily due
to lower average investment balances.

    For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001, real estate
operating results were $(37,655) and $205,985, respectively, compared to
$145,370 and $225,853 for the same periods in 2000. The comparative three month
decrease of $183,025 is due to both the sale of Wilmington Industrial in August
2001 and the subsequent write-off of a tenant receivable at the time of sale.
The overall nine month decrease of $19,868 is due to both the sale of Wilmington
Industrial in August 2001 and the sale of Prentiss Copystar in February 2001
offset by an increase in joint venture earnings in 2001 compared to joint
venture losses in 2000.

    The Partnership recognized $656,290 in revenue during the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2001, which was attributable to an adjustment
of previously accrued disposition fees, in accordance with the Partnership
agreement.

    Portfolio Expenses

    The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from
operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as
determined by the managing general partner.  General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of real estate appraisal, printing, legal, accounting and
investor servicing fees.

    The Partnership management fee during the nine month period ended September
30, 2001, is due to the distribution of operational cash flow previously held in
reserves.   During the respective three and nine month periods of 2000 and 2001,
general and administrative expenses remained relatively stable.
