Other Events

Real Estate Associates Limited VI, a California limited partnership (the “Registrant”), holds a 99.9% general partnership interest in Real Estate Associates III (“REA III”), a California general partnership.  An affiliate of the general partner of the Registrant holds the remaining general partner interest in REA III.  REA III owns a 99% limited partnership interest in Eastridge Associates, Ltd., a Virginia limited partnership (“Eastridge”). On November 15, 2007, Eastridge sold its sole investment property, located in Bristol, Virginia, which consists of 96 units, to a third party, Eastridge Apartments, LLC for a sales price of approximately $1,375,000.  REA III received approximately $1,069,000 as a distribution from net sales proceeds.  The remaining sales proceeds were used to satisfy liabilities associated with Eastridge, including the mortgage encumbering the property.  The Registrant, through its ownership interest in REA III, is obligated under a certain non-recourse note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of approximately $170,000, which bears interest at 9.5% per annum and is payable to an affiliate of the general partner of Eastridge and his affiliates.  As of November 15, 2007, accrued interest outstanding on the Note was approximately $387,000.  REA III used approximately $557,000 of the distribution received to repay the Note and related accrued interest.  REA III distributed the remaining portion of the distribution of approximately $512,000 to the Registrant.  The Registrant had no remaining investment balance in Eastridge at September 30, 2007.

In accordance with the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partners of the Registrant, the Registrant’s corporate general partner intends to utilize the sales proceeds received for the Registrant’s operations and reserves.
