[X] 2 PART I. ITEM 1. BUSINESS Real Estate Associates Limited VI ("REAL VI" or the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which was formed under the laws of the State of California on October 12, 1982. On April 22, 1983, REAL VI offered 4,200 units consisting of 8,400 limited partnership interests and warrants to purchase a maximum of 8,400 additional limited partnership interests through a public offering managed by E.F. Hutton Inc. The general partners of REAL VI are National Partnership Investments Corp. ("NAPICO"), a California corporation, (the "Corporate General Partner"), and National Partnership Investments Associates ("NAPIA"). NAPIA is a limited partnership formed under the California Limited Partnership Act and consists of Messrs. Nicholas G. Ciriello, an unrelated individual, as general partner, and Mr. Charles H. Boxenbaum as limited partner. The business of REAL VI is conducted primarily by NAPICO. Prior to December 30, 1998, NAPICO was a wholly owned subsidiary of Casden Investment Corporation ("CIC"), which is wholly owned by Alan I. Casden. On December 30, 1998, Casden Properties Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), a majority owned subsidiary of Casden Properties Inc., a real estate investment trust organized by Alan I. Casden, purchased a 95.25% economic interest in NAPICO. The current members of NAPICO's Board of Directors are Charles H. Boxenbaum, Bruce E. Nelson and Alan I. Casden. REAL VI holds limited partnership interests in 20 local limited partnerships. REAL VI also holds a general partner interest in Real Estate Associates III ("REA III") which, in turn, holds limited partner interests in 3 local limited partnerships. The other general partner of REA III is NAPICO. Therefore, REAL VI currently holds interests either directly or indirectly in 23 local limited partnerships. Each of the local partnerships owns a low income housing project which is subsidized and/or has a mortgage note payable to or insured by agencies of the federal or local government. In December 1998, the Partnership sold its interests in 10 local limited partnerships and its general partner interest in one local general partnership to the Operating Partnership. In order to stimulate private investment in low income housing, the federal government and certain state and local agencies have provided significant ownership incentives, including among others, interest subsidies, rent supplements, and mortgage insurance, with the intent of reducing certain market risks and providing investors with certain tax benefits, plus limited cash distributions and the possibility of long-term capital gains. There remain, however, significant risks. The long-term nature of investments in government assisted housing limits the ability of REAL VI to vary its portfolio in `response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions; such investments are also subject to changes in local economic circumstances and housing patterns, as well as rising operating costs, vacancies, rent collection difficulties, energy shortages and other factors which have an impact on real estate values. These projects also require greater management expertise and may have higher operating expenses than conventional housing projects. Under recently adopted law and policy, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has determined not to renew the Housing Assistance Payment ("HAP") Contracts on a long term basis on the existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under such new law and policy, the amount of rental assistance payments under renewed HAP Contracts will be based on market rentals instead of above market rentals, which may be the case under existing HAP Contracts. The payments under the renewed HAP Contracts may not be in an amount that would provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties subject to HAP Contracts to meet the debt service requirements of existing loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration of HUD ("FHA") unless such mortgage loans are restructured. In order to address the reduction in payments under HAP Contracts as a result of this new policy, the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 ("MAHRAA"), which was adopted in October 1997, provides for the restructuring of mortgage loans insured by the FHA with respect to properties subject to the 3 Section 8 program. Under MAHRAA, an FHA-insured mortgage loan can be restructured into a first mortgage loan which will be amortized on a current basis and a low interest second mortgage loan payable to FHA which will only be payable on maturity of the first mortgage loan. This restructuring results in a reduction in annual debt service payable by the owner of the FHA-insured mortgage loan and is expected to result in an insurance payment from FHA to the holder of the FHA-insured loan due to the reduction in the principal amount. MAHRAA also phases out project-based subsidies on selected properties serving families not located in rental markets with limited supply, converting such subsidies to a tenant-based subsidy. When the HAP contracts are subject to renewal, there can be no assurance that the local limited partnerships in which the Partnership has an investment will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness under MAHRAA. In addition, the economic impact on the Partnership of the combination of the reduced payments under the HAP Contracts and the restructuring of the existing FHA-insured mortgage loans under MAHRAA is uncertain. The local partnerships in which REAL VI has invested were, at least initially, organized by private developers who acquired the sites, or options thereon, and applied for applicable mortgage insurance and subsidies. REAL VI became the principal limited or general partner in these local partnerships pursuant to arm's-length negotiations with these developers, or others, who normally act as general partners. As a limited partner, REAL VI's liability for obligations of the local limited partnership is limited to its investment. The local general partner of the local limited partnership retains responsibility for developing, constructing, maintaining, operating and managing the project. Under certain circumstances of default, REAL VI has the right to replace the general partner of the local limited partnerships. As discussed above, REAL VI is a general partner in certain of the local partnerships, but otherwise does not have control of sale or refinancing, etc. Although each of the partnerships in which REAL VI has invested will generally own a project which must compete in the marketplace for tenants, interest subsidies and rent supplements from governmental agencies make it possible to offer these dwelling units to eligible "low income" tenants at a cost significantly below the market rate for comparable conventionally financed dwelling units in the area. 4 During 2000, projects in which REAL VI had invested were substantially rented. The following is a schedule of the status, as of December 31, 2000, of the projects owned by local partnerships in which REAL VI, either directly or indirectly through REA III, has invested.

6 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The local limited partnerships in which REAL VI holds interests own various multi-family rental properties. See Item 1 for information pertaining to these properties. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On August 27, 1998, two investors holding an aggregate of eight units of limited partnership interests in Real Estate Associates Limited III (an affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner) and two investors holding an aggregate of five units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Partnership, NAPICO and certain other affiliated entities. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the limited partners of certain NAPICO managed partnerships and made materially false and misleading statements in the consent solicitation statements sent to the limited partners of such partnerships relating to approval of the transfer of partnership interests in limited partnerships, owning certain of the properties, to the Operating Partnership organized by an affiliate of NAPICO. The plaintiffs seek equitable relief, as well as compensatory damages and litigation related costs. On August 4, 1999, one investor holding one unit of limited partnership interest in Housing Programs Limited commenced a virtually identical action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Partnership, NAPICO and certain other affiliated entities. The second action has been subsumed in the first action, which has been certified as a class action. The managing general partner of such NAPICO managed partnerships and the other defendants believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intend to contest the actions vigorously. As of December 31, 2000, the Partnership's General Partner was a plaintiff or defendant in several other lawsuits. None of these lawsuits were related to the Partnership. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS In August 1998, a consent solicitation statement was sent to the limited partners setting forth the terms and conditions of the purchase of the limited partners' interests, held for investment by the Partnership, by a real estate investment trust organized by an affiliate of NAPICO, together with certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and other disclosures of various conflicts of interest in connection with the proposed transaction. Prior to the sale of the partnership interests in 1998, the consents of the limited partners to the sale and amendments to the Partnership Agreement were obtained. PART II. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS The Limited Partnership Interests are not traded on a public exchange but were sold through a public offering managed by E. F. Hutton Inc. It is not anticipated that any public market will develop for the purchase and sale of any partnership interests. Limited Partnership Interests may be transferred only if certain requirements are satisfied. At December 31, 2000, there were 3,269 registered holders of units in REAL VI. The Partnership has invested in certain government assisted projects under programs which in many instances restrict the cash return available to project owners. The Partnership was not designed to provide cash distributions to investors in circumstances other than refinancing or disposition of its investments in limited partnerships. In March 1999, the Partnership made distributions of $2,769,110 to the limited partners and $27,971 to the general partners, which included using proceeds from the sale of the partnership interests. No other distributions have not been made from the inception of the Partnership. 7 ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

8 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY The Partnership's primary sources of funds include interest income on money market funds and certificates of deposit and distributions from local partnership in which the Partnership has invested. It is not expected that any of the local partnerships in which the Partnership has invested will generate cash flow sufficient to provide for distributions to the Partnership's limited partners in any material amount. The Partnership made a cash distribution to investors in March 1999 using proceeds from the disposition of its investments in certain limited partnerships. The Partnership also owned and operated an apartment building which was sold in 1998 to the Operating Partnership. The units were leased primarily on a month-to-month basis. These building's primary source of funds was the rental payments from tenants. Expenditures primarily included normal operating expenses and debt service. CAPITAL RESOURCES REAL VI received $42,000,000 in subscriptions for units of limited partnership interests (at $5,000 per unit) during the period April 22, l983, to March 31, 1984, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Partnership was formed to provide various benefits to its partners as discussed in Item 1. It was anticipated that the local limited partnerships in which REAL VI has invested could produce tax losses for as long as 20 years from the date of formation. Tax benefits will decline over time as the advantages of accelerated depreciation are greatest in the earlier years, as deductions for interest expense will decrease as mortgage principal is amortized and as the Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the deductions available. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership has investments in 23 limited partnerships, all of which own housing projects that were substantially all rented. The Partnership, as a limited partner, is entitled to 90% to 99% of the profits and losses of the local limited partnerships. The Partnership accounts for its investments in the local limited partnerships on the equity method, thereby adjusting its investment balance by its proportionate share of the income or loss of the local limited partnerships. Equity in losses of limited partnerships are recognized in the financial statements until the limited partnership investment account is reduced to a zero balance. Losses incurred after the limited partnership investment account is reduced to zero are not recognized. Limited partners are not liable for losses beyond their contributed capital. Distributions received from limited partnerships are recognized as return of capital until the investment balance has been reduced to zero or to a negative amount equal to future capital contributions required. Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income. The total losses from the local limited partnerships that were allocated to the Partnership were $440,000, $426,000 and $1,799,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. However, because losses incurred after the investment account is reduced to a zero balance are not recognized, the Partnership recognized equity in (loss) income of limited partnerships of $(111,585), $(11,036) and $638,469 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in equity in income in 2000 and 1999 is a result of the sale of certain partnership interests in 1998. In addition, the loss recorded by the Partnership in 1998 includes impairment losses of approximately $2,076,000 recognized to the carrying values of the investments in certain local limited partnerships. The cumulative amount of the unrecognized 9 equity in losses of certain limited partnerships was approximately $11,357,000 and $10,863,000 as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Distributions from the local limited partnerships in which the Partnership did not have a positive investment balance were $44,273, $81,033 and $123,291 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These amounts were recognized as income on the accompanying statements of operations, in accordance with the equity method of accounting. Distributions decreased in 2000 and 1999 as a result of the sale of certain partnership interests in 1998. As of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership has cash and cash equivalents of $3,197,380, $3,312,395 and $5,477,969, respectively. These amounts are on deposit primarily with high credit quality financial institutions, earning interest. This resulted in the Partnership earning $185,690, $138,560 and $291,598 in interest income for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The amount of interest income varies with market rates available and with the amount of funds available for investment. Interest income decreased in 2000 and 1999, primarily as a result of the $2,797,081 in cash that was distributed in March 1999. Cash equivalents can be converted to cash to meet obligations of the Partnership as they arise. The Partnership intends to continue investing available funds in this manner. A recurring partnership expense is the annual management fee. The fee is payable to the Corporate General Partner of the Partnership and is calculated at .4 percent of the Partnership's original remaining invested assets. The management fee is paid to the Corporate General Partner for its continuing management of partnership affairs. The fee is payable beginning with the month following the Partnership's initial investment in a local limited partnership. Because of the decrease in invested assets at the end of 1999 as a result of the sale of partnership interests, management fees decreased from $502,224 for the year ended December 31, 1998, to $206,433 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Under recently adopted law and policy, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has determined not to renew the Housing Assistance Payment ("HAP") Contracts on a long term basis on the existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under such new law and policy, the amount of rental assistance payments under renewed HAP Contracts will be based on market rentals instead of above market rentals, which may be the case under existing HAP Contracts. The payments under the renewed HAP Contracts may not be in an amount that would provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties subject to HAP Contracts to meet the debt service requirements of existing loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration of HUD ("FHA") unless such mortgage loans are restructured. In order to address the reduction in payments under HAP Contracts as a result of this new policy, the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 ("MAHRAA"), which was adopted in October 1997, provides for the restructuring of mortgage loans insured by the FHA with respect to properties subject to the Section 8 program. Under MAHRAA, an FHA-insured mortgage loan can be restructured into a first mortgage loan which will be amortized on a current basis and a low interest second mortgage loan payable to FHA which will only be payable on maturity of the first mortgage loan. This restructuring results in a reduction in annual debt service payable by the owner of the FHA-insured mortgage loan and is expected to result in an insurance payment from FHA to the holder of the FHA-insured loan due to the reduction in the principal amount. MAHRAA also phases out project-based subsidies on selected properties serving families not located in rental markets with limited supply, converting such subsidies to a tenant-based subsidy. When the HAP Contracts are subject to renewal, there can be no assurance that the local limited partnerships in which the Partnership has an investment will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness under MAHRAA. In addition, the economic impact on the Partnership of the combination of the reduced payments under the HAP Contracts and the restructuring of the existing FHA-insured mortgage loans under MAHRAA is uncertain. As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership, in 1997, commenced an extensive review of disposition, refinancing or re-engineering alternatives for the properties in which the limited partnerships have invested 10 and are subject to HUD mortgage and rental subsidy programs. The Partnership has incurred expenses in connection with this review by various third party professionals, including accounting, legal, valuation, structural and engineering costs, which amounted to $97,556 and $393,072 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and are included in partnership general and administrative expenses. On December 30, 1998, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in 10 local limited partnerships, with a total carrying value of $3,878,886, and its general partner interest in one local general partnership, with a partner deficit of $1,507,828, to the Operating Partnership. The sale resulted in proceeds to the Partnership of a $1,397,081 and a net gain of $7,497,969, after being relieved of notes and interest payable of $8,712,920 and incurring selling expenses of $240,994. In March 1999, the Partnership made cash distributions of $2,769,110 to the limited partners and $27,971 to the general partners, which included using proceeds from the sale of the partnership interests. The Operating Partnership purchased such limited partner interests for cash, which it raised in connection with a private placement of its equity securities. The purchase was subject to, among other things, (i) the purchase of the general partner interests in the local limited partnerships by the Operating Partnership; (iii) the approval of HUD and certain state housing finance agencies; and (iii) the consent of the limited partners to the sale of the local limited partnership interests held for investment by the Partnership. In August 1998, a consent solicitation statement was sent to the limited partners setting forth the terms and conditions of the purchase of the limited partners' interests held for investment by the Partnership, together with certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and other disclosures of various conflicts of interest in connection with the proposed transaction. Prior to the sale of the partnership interests, the consents of the limited partners to the sale and amendments to the Partnership Agreement were obtained. General and administrative expenses were $215,447, $368,103 and $692,092 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Included in general and administrative expenses are reimbursements to NAPICO for certain expenses, which totaled $20,424, $41,364 and $51,491 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Also included in partnership general and administrative expenses for 1999 and 1998 is $97,556 and $393,072, respectively, related to the aforementioned third-party review of the properties owned by the local partnerships. Accounts payable at December 31, 1998 includes $183,573 of such costs. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership is obligated on non-recourse notes payable of $1,440,000 which bear interest at 9.5 percent per annum and have principal maturities ranging from December 1999 to December 2012. The Partnership was relieved of notes payable in the amount of $4,030,000 in connection with the sale of the partnership interests to the Operating Partnership. The notes and related interest are payable from cash flow generated from operations of the related rental properties as defined in the notes. These obligations are collateralized by the Partnership's investments in the limited partnerships. Unpaid interest is due at maturity of the notes. Because the Partnership was relieved of certain notes at the end of 1998 in connection with the sale of the limited partnership interests, interest expense has decreased from $533,700 for 1998 to $136,800 and $140,550 for 2000 and 1999, respectively. Revenues and expenses of the local limited partnerships decreased during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, as compared to 1998, as a result of the sale of 10 partnership interests on December 30, 1998. Total revenue for the local partnerships has decreased from $21,200,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998, to $9,895,000 and $9,928,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Total expenses for the local partnerships decreased from $23,021,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998, to $10,336,000 and $10,354,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 11 The total net loss for the local partnerships for 2000, 1999 and 1998 aggregated $441,000, $426,000 and $1,821,000, respectively. The losses allocable to the Partnership were $440,000, $426,000 and $1,799,000 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Partnership, as a limited or general partner in the local partnerships in which it has invested, is subject to the risks incident to the construction, management, and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership investments are also subject to adverse general economic conditions and accordingly, the status of the national economy, including substantial unemployment, concurrent inflation and changing legislation, could increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and operating expenses, which in turn, could substantially increase the risk of operating losses for the projects. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Partnership is exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. Specifically, the Partnership is subject to market risk resulting from fluctuations in the general level of U.S. interest rates as the Partnership' debt of $1,440,000 is based on a weighted average fixed rate of 9.8% per annum. As a result, the Partnership will be obligated to pay contractually agreed upon rates of interest on its fixed rate debt, unless management refinances its existing fixed rate debt and potentially incur substantial prepayment penalties. The following table provides information about the Partnership's interest rate sensitive financial instruments, including, amounts due at maturity, principal amortization, weighted average interest rates and fair market values as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the index in Item 14. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the management of the Partnership. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain limited partnerships, the investments in which are reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The investments in these limited partnerships represent 11 percent and 9 percent of total assets as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and the equity in income of these limited partnerships represents 5 percent, 5 percent and 17 percent of the total net income of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and represent a substantial portion of the investee information in Note 2 and the financial statement schedules. The financial statements of these limited partnerships were audited by other auditors. Their reports have been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these limited partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Real Estate Associates Limited VI as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 18 REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI AND SUBSIDIARIES (a California limited partnership) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2000 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION Real Estate Associates Limited VI (the "Partnership"), was formed under the California Limited Partnership Act on October 12, 1982. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in other limited partnerships or joint ventures which own and operate primarily federal, state or local government-assisted housing projects and to acquire, lease, sell or mortgage real or personal property. The general partners are National Partnership Investments Associates (NAPIA), a limited partnership, and National Partnership Investments Corp. (NAPICO). The business of the Partnership is conducted primarily by NAPICO. Prior to December 30, 1998, NAPICO was a wholly owned subsidiary of Casden Investment Corporation ("CIC"), which is wholly owned by Alan I. Casden. On December 30, 1998, Casden Properties Operating Partnership, L.P., (the "Operating Partnership") a majority owned subsidiary of Casden Properties Inc., a real estate investment trust organized by Alan I. Casden, purchased a 95.25% economic interest in NAPICO. The business of REAL VI is conducted primarily by NAPICO. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Real Estate Associates Limited VI and its majority-owned general partnerships. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Losses in excess of the minority interest in equity that would otherwise be attributed to the minority interest are being allocated to the Partnership. The Partnership offered and issued 4,200 units of limited partner interests through a public offering. Each unit was comprised of two limited partner interests and a warrant granting the investor the right to purchase two additional limited partner interests. An additional 8,410 interests were issued from the exercise of warrants and the sale of interests associated with warrants not exercised. The general partners have a 1 percent interest in operating profits and losses of the Partnership. The limited partners have the remaining 99 percent interest in proportion to their respective investments. The Partnership shall be dissolved only upon the expiration of 50 complete calendar years (December 31, 2032) from the date of the formation of the partnership or the occurrence of various other events as specified in the Partnership agreement. 19 REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI AND SUBSIDIARIES (a California limited partnership) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Upon total or partial liquidation of the Partnership or the disposition or partial disposition of a project or project interest and distribution of the proceeds, the general partners will be entitled to a liquidation fee as stipulated in the Partnership agreement. The limited partners will have a priority return equal to their invested capital attributable to the project(s) or project interest(s) sold and shall receive from the sale of the project(s) or project interest(s) an amount sufficient to pay state and federal income taxes, if any, calculated at the maximum rate then in effect. The general partner's liquidation fee may accrue but shall not be paid until the limited partners have received distributions equal to 100 percent of their capital contributions. On December 30, 1998, the Partnership sold its interests in 10 local limited partnerships and its general partner interest in one local general partnership for net proceeds of $1,397,081 to the Operating Partnership. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Method of Accounting for Investments in Limited Partnerships The investments in limited partnerships are accounted for on the equity method. Acquisition, selection and other costs related to the acquisition of the projects have been capitalized as part of the investment account and are being amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated lives of the underlying assets, which is generally 30 years. 20 REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI AND SUBSIDIARIES (a California limited partnership) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Rental Property and Depreciation Rental property was stated at cost. Depreciation was provided on the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and equipment. Pursuant to a purchase agreement in which the Partnership acquired its interest from independent withdrawing general partners, certain rental property was revalued to reflect the purchase price. Substantially all of the apartment units were leased on a month-to-month basis. On December 30, 1998, the Partnership sold its consolidated general partnership interest, which was the owner of the rental property. Net Income (Loss) Per Limited Partnership Interest Net income (loss) per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the limited partners' share of net income (loss) by the number of limited partnership interests outstanding during the year. The number of limited partnership interests was 16,810 for all years presented. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of unrestricted cash and bank certificates of deposit with maturities of three months or less. The Partnership has its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with high credit quality financial institutions. Such cash and cash equivalents are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Partnership reviews long-lived assets to determine if there has been any permanent impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss. During 1998, the Partnership recognized an impairment loss of approximately $2,076,000 related to certain investments in local limited partnerships, which has been included in equity in loss of limited partnerships. 21 REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI AND SUBSIDIARIES (a California limited partnership) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000 2. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in 20 limited partnerships as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, after selling its interests in 10 limited partnerships in 1998. In addition, REAL VI holds a general partner interest in Real Estate Associates III ("REA III"), a California general partnership. NAPICO is also a general partner in REA III. REA III, in turn, holds limited partner interests in 3 limited partnerships. In total, therefore, the Partnership holds interests, either directly or indirectly through REA III, in 23 limited partnerships, which own residential low income rental projects consisting of 1,369 apartment units. The mortgage loans of these projects are payable to or insured by various governmental agencies. The Partnership, as a limited partner, is entitled to between 90 percent and 99 percent of the profits and losses of the limited partnerships it has invested in directly. The Partnership is also entitled to 99.9 percent of the profits and losses of REA III. REA III holds a 99 percent interest in each of the limited partnerships in which it has invested. Equity in losses of unconsolidated limited partnerships are recognized in the financial statements until the limited partnership investment account is reduced to a zero balance or to a negative amount equal to further capital contributions required. Losses incurred after the limited partnership investment account is reduced to zero are not recognized. The cumulative amount of the unrecognized equity in losses of unconsolidated limited partnerships was approximately $11,357,000 and $10,863,000 as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Distributions from the unconsolidated limited partnerships are accounted for as a return of capital until the investment balance is reduced to zero. Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income. 22 REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI AND SUBSIDIARIES (a California limited partnership) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000 2. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED) The following is a summary of the investments in unconsolidated limited partnerships and reconciliation to the limited partnership accounts:
2000 1999 --------- --------- Investment balance, beginning of year $ 509,999 $ 500,744 Equity in loss of limited partnerships (105,273) (4,724) Amortization of capitalized acquisition costs and fees (6,312) (6,312) Capital contributions 157,338 62,704 Distributions recognized as a return of capital (14,680) (42,413) --------- --------- Investment balance, end of year $ 541,072 $ 509,999 ========= =========
The difference between the investment per the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the deficiency per the limited partnerships' combined financial statements is due primarily to cumulative unrecognized equity in losses of limited partnerships, additional basis and costs capitalized to the investment account, cumulative distributions recognized as income and recognition of impairment losses. Selected financial information from the combined financial statements at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, of the limited partnerships in which the Partnership has invested directly or indirectly, is as follows: Balance Sheets

Land and buildings above have been adjusted for the amount by which the investments in the limited partnerships exceed the Partnership's share of the net book value of the underlying net assets of the investee which are recorded at historical costs. Depreciation on the adjustment is provided for over the estimated remaining useful lives of the properties. Prior to the sale of certain partnership interests on December 30, 1998, an affiliate of NAPICO was the general partner in 10 of the limited partnerships included above, and another affiliate received property management fees ranging from 5 percent to 7 percent of the revenue from seven of these partnerships. Subsequent to the sale of certain partnership interests, an affiliate of NAPICO is the general partner in 6 of the limited partnerships, and another affiliate manages 4 of the limited partnership's properties. The affiliate received property management fees of $72,739, $77,003 and $76,325 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The following sets forth 24 REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI AND SUBSIDIARIES (a California limited partnership) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000 2. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED) the significant data for the partnerships in which an affiliate of NAPICO is currently the general partner, reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting:

Under recently adopted law and policy, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has determined not to renew the Housing Assistance Payment ("HAP") Contracts on a long term basis on the existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under such new law and policy, the amount of rental assistance payments under renewed HAP Contracts will be based on market rentals instead of above market rentals, which may be the case under existing HAP Contracts. The payments under the renewed HAP Contracts may not be in an amount that would provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties subject to HAP Contracts to meet the debt service requirements of existing loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration of HUD ("FHA") unless such mortgage loans are restructured. In order to address the reduction in payments under HAP Contracts as a result of this new policy, the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 ("MAHRAA"), which was adopted in October 1997, provides for the restructuring of mortgage loans insured by the FHA with respect to properties subject to the Section 8 program. Under MAHRAA, an FHA-insured mortgage loan can be restructured into a first mortgage loan which will be amortized on a current basis and a low interest second mortgage loan payable to FHA which will only be payable on maturity of the first mortgage loan. This restructuring results in a reduction in annual debt service payable by the owner of the FHA-insured mortgage loan and is expected to result in an insurance payment from FHA to the holder of the FHA-insured loan 25 REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI AND SUBSIDIARIES (a California limited partnership) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000 2. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED) due to the reduction in the principal amount. MAHRAA also phases out project-based subsidies on selected properties serving families not located in rental markets with limited supply, converting such subsidies to a tenant-based subsidy. When the HAP Contracts are subject to renewal, there can be no assurance that the local limited partnerships in which the Partnership has an investment will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness under MAHRAA. In addition, the economic impact on the Partnership of the combination of the reduced payments under the HAP Contracts and the restructuring of the existing FHA-insured mortgage loans under MAHRAA is uncertain. As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership, in 1997, commenced an extensive review of disposition, refinancing or re-engineering alternatives for the properties in which the limited partnerships have invested and are subject to HUD mortgage and rental subsidy programs. The Partnership has incurred expenses in connection with this review by various third party professionals, including accounting, legal, valuation, structural and engineering costs, which amounted to $97,556 and $393,072 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and are included in partnership general and administrative expenses. Accounts payable at December 31, 1998 includes $183,573 of such costs. On December 30, 1998, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in 10 local limited partnerships, with a total carrying value of $3,878,886, and its general partner interest in one local general partnership, with a partner deficit of $1,507,828, to the Operating Partnership. The sale resulted in cash proceeds to the Partnership of a $1,397,081 and a net gain of $7,497,969, after being relieved of notes and interest payable of $8,712,920 and incurring selling expenses of $240,994. The cash proceeds were held in escrow at December 31, 1998 and were collected in 1999. In March 1999, the Partnership made cash distributions of $2,769,110 to the limited partners and $27,971 to the general partners, which included using proceeds from the sale of the partnership interests. The Operating Partnership purchased such limited partner interests for cash, which it raised in connection with a private placement of its equity securities. The purchase was subject to, among other things, (i) the purchase of the general partner interests in the local limited partnerships by the Operating Partnership; (iii) the approval of HUD and certain state housing finance agencies; and (iii) the consent of the limited partners to the sale of the local limited partnership interests held for investment by the Partnership. 26 REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI AND SUBSIDIARIES (a California limited partnership) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000 2. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED) In August 1998, a consent solicitation statement was sent to the limited partners setting forth the terms and conditions of the purchase of the limited partners' interests held for investment by the Partnership, together with certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and other disclosures of various conflicts of interest in connection with the proposed transaction. Prior to the sale of the partnership interests, the consents of the limited partners to the sale and amendments to the Partnership Agreement were obtained. 3. NOTES PAYABLE AND AMOUNTS DUE FOR PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS Certain of the Partnership's investments involved purchases of partnership interests from partners who subsequently withdrew from the operating partnership. The purchase of these interests provides for additional cash payments of approximately $325,000, based upon specified events as outlined in the purchase agreements. Such amounts have been recorded as liabilities. In addition, the Partnership is obligated on non-recourse notes payable of $1,440,000 which bear interest at 9.5 to 10 percent per annum and have principal maturities ranging from December 1999 to December 2012. Notes payable and related accrued interest payable aggregating $1,318,388 became payable on December 31, 2000. Management is in process of attempting to negotiate extensions of the maturity dates on these notes payable. The Partnership was relieved of notes payable in the amount of $4,030,000 in connection with the sale of the partnership interests to the Operating Partnership in 1998. The notes and related interest are payable from cash flow generated from operations of the related rental properties as defined in the notes. These obligations are collateralized by the Partnership's investments in the limited partnerships. Unpaid interest is due at maturity of the notes. Maturity dates of the notes payable and related accrued interest are as follows:
Accrued Years Ending December 31, Notes Interest ------------------------- -------- ---------- 2001 $520,000 $ 798,388 2002 2003 2004 2005 750,000 911,709 Thereafter 170,000 354,704 -------- ---------- $1,440,000 $2,064,801
27 REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI AND SUBSIDIARIES (a California limited partnership) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000 4. FEES AND EXPENSES DUE TO GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATE Under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership, the Partnership is obligated to NAPICO for an annual management fee equal to .4 percent of the original remaining invested assets of the partnerships. Invested assets is defined as the costs of acquiring project interests, including the proportionate amount of the mortgage loans related to the Partnership's interests in the capital accounts of the respective partnerships. An affiliate of the minority general partner of the general partnership that owned the rental property, managed that property. The fee was calculated based on five percent of gross collections plus reimbursement of certain expenses. The Partnership paid management fees to the affiliate of approximately $56,000 in 1998. The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The reimbursement to NAPICO was $20,424, $41,364 and $51,491 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses. 5. CONTINGENCIES On August 27, 1998, two investors holding an aggregate of eight units of limited partnership interests in Real Estate Associates Limited III (an affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner) and two investors holding an aggregate of five units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Partnership, NAPICO and certain other affiliated entities. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the limited partners of certain NAPICO managed partnerships and made materially false and misleading statements in the consent solicitation statements sent to the limited partners of such partnerships relating to approval of the transfer of partnership interests in limited partnerships, owning certain of the properties, to the Operating Partnership organized by an affiliate of NAPICO. The plaintiffs seek equitable relief, as well as compensatory damages and litigation related costs. On August 4, 1999, one investor holding one unit of limited partnership interest in Housing Programs Limited commenced a virtually identical action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Partnership, NAPICO and certain other affiliated entities. The second action has been subsumed in the first action, which has been certified as a class action. The managing general partner of such NAPICO managed partnerships and the other defendants believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intend to contest the actions vigorously. 28 REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI AND SUBSIDIARIES (a California limited partnership) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 2000 5. CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) The corporate general partner of the Partnership is a plaintiff in various lawsuits and has also been named a defendant in other lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management and the corporate general partner, the claims will not result in any material liability to the Partnership. 6. INCOME TAXES No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the liability of the individual partners. The major differences in tax and financial reporting result from the use of different bases and depreciation methods for the properties held by the limited partnerships. Differences in tax and financial reporting also arise as losses are not recognized for financial reporting purposes when the investment balance has been reduced to zero or to a negative amount equal to further capital contributions required. 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, when it is practicable to estimate that value. The notes payable and amounts due for partnership interests are collateralized by the Partnership's investments in investee limited partnerships and are payable only out of cash distributions from investee partnerships. The operations generated by the investee limited partnerships, which account for the Partnership's primary source of revenues, are subject to various government rules, regulations and restrictions which make it impracticable to estimate the fair value of the notes and related accrued interest payable. The carrying amount of other assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheets that require such disclosure approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity. 8. FOURTH-QUARTER ADJUSTMENT The Partnership's policy is to record its equity in the loss of limited partnerships on a quarterly basis using estimated financial information furnished by the various local operating general partners. The equity in income (loss) of limited partnerships reflected in the accompanying annual consolidated financial statements is based primarily upon audited financial statements of the investee limited partnerships. The difference of approximately $144,000 between the estimated nine-month equity in income and the actual 2000 year end equity in loss, has been recorded in the fourth quarter. 29 SCHEDULE REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED VI INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998

The Commission found that NAPICO and others had violated certain federal securities laws in connection with transactions unrelated to the Partnership. The Commission's order did not impose any cost, burden or penalty on any partnership managed by NAPICO and does not impact NAPICO's ability to serve as the Partnership's Managing General Partner. 40 ITEM 11. MANAGEMENT REMUNERATION AND TRANSACTIONS Real Estate Associates Limited VI has no officers, employees, or directors. However, under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership, the Partnership is obligated to pay the Corporate General Partner an annual management fee. The annual management fee is approximately equal to .5 percent of the invested assets, including the Partnership's allocable share of the mortgages related to real estate properties held by local limited partnerships. The fee is earned beginning in the month the Partnership makes its initial contribution to the local partnership. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the Corporate General Partner for certain expenses. An affiliate of the Corporate General Partner is responsible for the on-site property management for certain properties owned by the limited partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT (a) Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners The general partners own all of the outstanding general partnership interests of REAL VI; no person is known to own beneficially in excess of 5% of the outstanding limited partnership interests. (b) With the exception of the initial limited partner, Bruce Nelson, who is an officer of the corporate general partner, none of the officers or directors of the corporate general partner own directly or beneficially any limited partnership interests in REAL VI. ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS The Partnership has no officers, directors or employees of its own. All of its affairs are managed by the Corporate General Partner, National Partnership Investments Corp. ("NAPICO"). The Partnership is obligated to NAPICO for an annual management fee equal to .4 percent of the original remaining invested assets of the limited partnerships. Invested assets is defined as the costs of acquiring project interests, including the proportionate amount of the mortgage loans related to the Partnership's interest in the capital accounts of the respective partnerships. Management fees were $206,433, $253,373 and $502,224 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The reimbursement to NAPICO was $20,424, $41,364 and $51,491 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and is included in operating expenses. An affiliate of the minority general partner of a general partnership that was consolidated, managed the property owned by that partnership. The fee was calculated based on five percent of gross collections plus reimbursement of certain expenses. The Partnership paid management fees to the affiliate of approximately $56,000 and $54,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively. An affiliate of NAPICO was the general partner in 10 of the limited partnerships in which the partnership interests were sold on December 30, 1998, and another affiliate received property management fees of approximately 5 to 7 percent of revenue from seven of these partnerships. Subsequent to the sale of certain partnership interests, NAPICO is the general partner in 6 of the limited partnerships, and another affiliate manages 4 of the limited partnership's properties. The affiliate received property management fees of $72,739, $77,003 and $76,325 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 41 On December 30, 1998, the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in 10 local limited partnerships with a total carrying value of $3,878,886 and its general partner interest in one local general partnership with a partner deficit of $1,507,828 to the Operating Partnership. The sale resulted in net proceeds to the Partnership of a $1,397,081 and a net gain of $7,497,969 after being relieved of notes and interest payable of $8,712,920 and incurring selling expenses of $240,994. In March 1999, the Partnership made cash distributions of $2,769,110 to the limited partners and $27,971 to the general partners, which included using proceeds from the sale of the partnership interests. The Operating Partnership purchased such limited partner interests for cash, which it raised in connection with a private placement of its equity securities. The purchase was subject to, among other things, (i) the purchase of the general partner interests in the local limited partnerships by the Operating Partnership; (ii) the approval of HUD and certain state housing finance agencies; and (iii) the consent of the limited partners to the sale of the local limited partnership interests held for investment by the Partnership. In August 1998, a consent solicitation statement was sent to the limited partners setting forth the terms and conditions of the purchase of the limited partners' interests held for investment by the Partnership, together with certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and other disclosures of various conflicts of interest in connection with the proposed transaction. Prior to the sale of the partnership interests, the consents of the limited partners to the sale and amendments to the Partnership Agreement were obtained. ITEM 14.
