Part I

Item 1 - Business

Redwood Mortgage Investors VI is a California limited partnership (the
Partnership), of which D. Russell Burwell, Michael R. Burwell and Gymno
Corporation, a California corporation, are the General Partners. The address of
the General Partners is 650 El Camino Real, Suite G, Redwood City, California
94063. The PartnershiPs primary purpose is to invest its capital in Mortgage
Investments secured by Northern California properties. Mortgage Investments are
arranged and serviced by Redwood Home Loan Co, dba Redwood Mortgage, an
affiliate of the General Partners. The Partnership's objectives are to make
investments, as referred to above, which will: (i) provide the maximum possible
cash returns which Limited Partners may elect to (a) receive as monthly,
quarterly or annual cash distributions or (b) have earnings credited to their
capital accounts and used to invest in Partnership activities; and (ii) preserve
and protect the Partnerships capital. The Partnerships general business is
more fully described under the section entitled Investment Objectives and
Criteria, pages 23-26 of the Prospectus, a part of the above-referenced
Registration Statement, which is incorporated by reference.

The Partnership was formed in September, 1987, with an approved 120,000
Units of $100 each ($12,000,000). The Units were offered on a best efforts
basis through broker/dealer member firms of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. It immediately began issuing Units and began investing
in Mortgage Investments in October, 1987. The offering terminated in September,
1989, and as of that date 97,725.94 Units were sold realizing proceeds of
$9,772,594. At December 31, 1998, the Partnership had a balance of Mortgage
Investments totalling $7,969,735 with interest rates thereon ranging from 4.00%
to 17.25%.

Currently First Trust Deeds comprise 55.61% of the total amount of Mortgage
Investment portfolio. Second Mortgage Trust Deeds comprise 36.30% of Mortgage
Investment portfolio, third Mortgage Trust Deeds have 4.95% and 4th Mortgage
Trust Deeds have 3.14% of the Mortgage Investment portfolio. Owner-occupied
homes, combined with non-owner occupied homes, total 16.55% of the Mortgage
Investments. Mortgage Investments to apartments make up 10.26% of the total
Mortgage Investments portfolio. Commercial Mortgage Investment origination
increased from last year, now comprising 73.19% of the portfolio, an increase of
0.95% from 1997. The past year brought many outstanding low loan to value
lending opportunities in the commercial segment of the market. The major
concentration of Mortgage Investments, comprising of 74.71% of the total loans,
are in six counties of the San Francisco Bay Area. The County of Stanislaus
makes up 10.93% of the Mortgage Investment portfolio. Stanislaus County is a
fringe county to the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1998 the Partnership received
many good lending opportunities from this county. The balance, as stated on page
five of this report, are primarily in Northern California. Currently Mortgage
Investment size is averaging $142,317 per Mortgage Investment. Some of the
Mortgage Investments are fractionalized between affiliated partnerships with
objectives similar to those of the Partnership to further reduce risk. Average
equity per loan transaction stood at 34.73%. A 40% equity average on loan
origination is generally considered very conservative. Generally, the more
equity, the more protection for the lender. The Partnerships Mortgage
Investment portfolio is in good condition with no properties in foreclosure as
of the end of December, 1998.

Item 3 - Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Partnership may become involved in
various types of legal proceedings such as assignments of rents, bankruptcy
proceedings, appointments of receivers, unlawful detainers, judicial
foreclosures, etc., to enforce the provisions of the deeds. Management
anticipates that the ultimate outcome of these legal matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the net assets of the Partnership in light of the
Partnership's allowance for doubtful accounts. As of the date hereof, legal
actions against borrowers and other involved parties have been initiated by the
Partnership to help assure payments against unsecured accounts receivable
totaling $23,775. The Partnership is a defendant along with numerous defendants,
including a developer, contractor, and other lenders, in a lawsuit involving the
Partnerships attempt to recover its investment in real estate acquired through
foreclosure.

Item 4 - Submission of matters to vote of Security Holders (Partners).

No matters have been submitted to a vote of the Partnership.

In 1995 the annualized yield was 5.30%. In 1996, the annualized yield was
5.35%, in 1997 the annualized yield was 5.29% and in 1998 the annualized yield
was 5.63%. The annualized yield since inception through December 31, 1998, was
7.52%.





Item 7 - Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

On September 2, 1989, the Partnership had sold 97,725.94 Units and its
contributed capital totalled $9,772,594 of the approved $12,000,000 issue, in
Units of $100 each. As of that date the offering was formally closed. On
December 31, 1998, the Partnerships net capital totalled $8,707,534.

The Partnership began funding Mortgage Investments in October 1987. The
Partnerships Mortgage Investments outstanding for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998, were $9,313,924, $8,104,984, and $7,969,735 respectively.
The decrease in Mortgage Investments outstanding of $1,344,189 from December 31,
1996 to December 31, 1998, was again due primarily to the Partnership utilizing
Mortgage Investment payoffs to meet Limited Partner capital liquidations and
line of credit pay-down to save interest expense on the note. During the years
1996, 1997, and 1998, Mortgage Investment principal collections exceeded Limited
Partner liquidations.

Currently, general mortgage interest rates are lower than those prevalent
at the inception of the Partnership. New Mortgage Investments will be originated
at these lower interest rates. The result is to reduce the average return across
the entire Mortgage Investment portfolio held by the Partnership. In the future,
interest rates likely will change from their current levels. The General
Partners cannot at this time predict at what levels interest rates will be in
the future. Although the rates charged by the Partnership are influenced by the
level of interest rates in the market, the General Partners do not anticipate
that rates charged by the Partnership to its borrowers will change significantly
from the beginning of 1999 over the next 12 months. As of December 31, 1998 the
Partnerships Real Estate Owned account and the Investment in Partnership
account have been reduced to a combined $169,922 balance. These accounts had
combined balances of $1,017,460 and $ 1,937,047 as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The conversion of these non-earning assets will allow the
Partnership to produce current income from previously non earning assets. The
overall effect of these developments will allow the Partnerships yield to rise.
The General Partners anticipate that the annualized yield for the forthcoming
year 1999, will be higher than the current years performance level.

Each year, the Partnership negotiates a line of credit with a commercial
bank which is secured by its Mortgage Investment portfolio. The outstanding
balance of the bank line of credit was $1,530,511, $899,011 and $390,000 for the
years ended December 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The interest rate on the
bank line of credit has remained at Prime plus one percent for the preceding
three years. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997and 1996 , interest on
Note Payable-Bank was $43,170, $133,577and $158,175 respectively. The primary
reason for this decrease was that the Partnership had a lower overall credit
facility utilization from 1995 to 1996 and from 1996 to December 31, 1998. As of
December 31, 1998, the Partnership has borrowed $390,000 at an interest rate of
Prime plus one percent. This added source of funds will help in maximizing the
Partnership yield by allowing the Partnership to minimize the amount of funds in
lower yield investment accounts when appropriate Mortgage Investments are not
currently available and because the Mortgage Investments made by the Partnership
usually bear interest at a rate in excess of the rate payable to the bank which
extended the line of credit, the amount to be retained by the Partnership, after
payment of the line of credit cost, will be greater than without the use of the
line of credit.

The Partnerships 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- one 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 December 31, 1998,
there were no properties in foreclosure. Cash is continually being generated
from interest earnings, late charges, prepayment penalties, amortization of
notes and pay-off of notes. Currently, this amount exceeds Partnership expenses
and earnings and principal payout requirements. As Mortgage Investment
opportunities become available, excess cash and available funds are invested in
new Mortgage Investments.



The General Partners regularly review the Mortgage Investment portfolio,
examining the status of delinquencies, the underlying collateral securing these
Mortgage Investments, REO expenses, sales activities, and borrowers payment
records and other data relating to the Mortgage Investment portfolio. Data on
the local real estate market, and on the national and local economy are studied.
Based upon this information and more, Mortgage Investment loss reserves and
allowance for doubtful accounts are increased or decreased. Because of the
number of variables involved, the magnitude of possible swings and the General
Partners inability to control many of these factors, actual results may and do
sometimes differ significantly from estimates made by the General Partners.
Management provided $312,684, $268,101 and $180,054 as provision for doubtful
accounts for the years ended December 31, 1996, December 31, 1997, and December
31, 1998, respectively. The decrease in the provision reflects the decrease in
the amount of REO, unsecured receivables and the decreasing levels of
delinquency within the portfolio. Additionally, the General Partners felt that
the bottom of the real estate cycle had been reached, reflecting a decreasing
need to set aside reserves for the continuously declining real estate values as
had been the case in the early 1990s in the California real estate market. As
of December 31, 1998, the Partnership reduced the REO balance from $1,501,712 as
of December 31, 1995, to $169,922 through December 31, 1998. This reduction
assisted the Partnership in increasing yields in 1998, as assets previously
lying idle, now produced current income.

The December 1998 issue of Western Economic Developments, published by the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, said the following about the California
economy:

The pace of economic growth in California was solid in recent months,
despite continued contraction in some major industries. Total payroll employment
rose 3.2 percent on an annual basis in October and November. This is above the
average growth rate for the first eleven months of 1998, but it is below the 3.8
percent pace from last year. Faced by declining export demand and rising import
competition, durable goods manufacturers cut employment in November.
Manufacturers of computers and electronic components have been particularly hard
hit this year, and aerospace employment has contracted. However, the pace of job
creation has remained strong in sectors other than manufacturing, and this has
helped to lower the state unemployment rate to 5.7 percent in November.

Californias state and local governments have created new jobs at about a
2.5 percent annual pace this year, a pickup from prior years that is due in part
to improved fiscal capacity. About 21,000 of the 29,000 jobs created this year
were for educators at local schools.

To the Partnership, the above evaluation of the California economy means an
increase in property values, job growth, personal income growth, etc., which all
translates into more loan activity, which of course, is healthy for the
Partnerships lending activity.

The Partnerships interest in land located in East Palo Alto, Ca, was
acquired through foreclosure. The Partnerships interest is invested with that
of two other Partnerships. The Partnerships basis of $0, $708,141 and $496,040
for the years ended December 31, 1998, December 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively,
has been invested with that of two other Partnerships. The Partnership had been
attempting to develop property into an approximately 63 units residential
subdivision, (the Development). The proposed Development had gained
significant public awareness as a result of certain environmental, fish and
wildlife density, and other concerns. Incorporated into the proposed Development
were various mitigation measures included remediation of hazardous material
existing on the property and protection of potentially affected species due to
the proximity to the San Francisco Baylands. These issues and others sparked
significant public controversy. Opposition against and support for the proposed
Development existed. Among those in opposition to the project was Rhone Poulanc,
Inc., which is responsible for a nearby hazardous waste site. Rhone Poulanc,
Inc. has been identified as the Responsible Party for the Arsenic
Contamination which affected a portion of the property. On May 8, 1998, the
Partnership, in order to resolve disputes which arose during the course of
attempts to obtain entitlements for this


Development, entered into agreements with Rhone-Poulanc, Inc., which among
other things, restricted the property to non residential uses, provided for
appropriate indemnification and included other consideration including a cash
payment to the Partnership. The Partnership has retained ownership of the
property, which is subject to various deed restrictions, options and or first
rights of refusal. The General Partners are pleased with this outcome to the
residential development attempt. The General Partners may now explore other
available options with respect to alternative uses for the property. In order to
pursue these options, rezoning of the propertys 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, and is unrelated to the Arsenic
Contamination for which Rhone Poulanc, Inc. remains responsible. 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.

At the time of subscription to the Partnership, Limited Partners made an
irrevocable decision to either take distributions of earnings monthly, quarterly
or annually or to compound earnings in their capital account. For the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Partnership made distributions of
earnings to Limited Partners after allocation of syndication costs of, $288,796,
$252,378 and $230,712 respectively. Distribution of Earnings to Limited Partners
after allocation of syndication costs for the years ended December 31, 1996,
December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1998 to Limited Partners capital accounts
and not withdrawn was $293,484, $271,517 and $276,668 respectively. As of
December 31, 1996, December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1998, Limited Partners
electing to withdraw earnings represented 49 %, 46% and 43% respectively of the
Limited Partners outstanding capital accounts.

The Partnership also allows the Limited Partners to withdraw their capital
account subject to certain limitations (see liquidation provisions of
Partnership Agreement). For the years ended December 31, 1996, December 31,
1997, and December 31, 1998, $96,362, $159,732 and $122,069 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, 1996, December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1998, respectively and is expected
by the General Partners to commonly occur at these levels.

Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 1996, December 31, 1997, and
December 31, 1998, $1,086,737, $1,137,677 and $938,040 respectively, were
liquidated by Limited Partners who have elected a liquidation program over a
period of five years or longer. Once the initial five year hold period has
passed, the General Partners expect to see an increase in liquidations due to
the ability of Limited Partners to withdraw without penalty. This ability to
withdraw after five years by Limited Partners has the effect of providing
Limited Partner liquidity which the General Partners then expect a portion of
the Limited Partners to avail themselves of. This has the anticipated effect of
the partnership growing, primarily through reinvestment of earnings in years one
through five. The General Partners expect to see increasing numbers of Limited
Partner withdrawals in years five through eleven, at which time the bulk of
those Limited Partners who have sought withdrawal will have been liquidated.
After year eleven, liquidation generally subsides and the Partnership capital
again tends to increase.




Actual liquidation of both capital and earnings from year five (1992)
through year eleven (1998) is shown hereunder:

The Year 2000 will be a challenge for the entire world, with respect to the
conversion of existing computerized operations. The Partnership is completing an
assessment of Year 2000 hardware and software issues. This assessment is not yet
fully complete. The Partnership relies on Redwood Mortgage Corp., an affiliate
of the Partnership, and third parties to provide loan and investor services and
other computerized functions, effected by Year 2000 computerized operations.
Major services provided to the Partnership by these companies are loan
servicing, accounting and investor services. The vendors that supply the
software for loan servicing have already confirmed compliance with Year 2000
issues. Installation of accounting software that is Year 2000 compliant will
begin after the 1998-year ends. The investor servicing software Year 2000
compliance is still under assessment. Existing investor servicing software
maintenance agreements provide for conversion to Year 2000 compliance to be
provided by the vendor. Additionally, the Partnership has contacted several
vendors that provide investor services as a possible alternative to continuing
to provide investors services in house. It would appear that these service
providers would be more expensive than the current in house systems but they do
provide a back-up alternative in the event of our own failure to fully convert.
Hardware utilized by Redwood Mortgage Corp., is currently being tested to insure
that modifications necessary to be made prior to Year 2000 can be accomplished.
At this juncture, existing hardware appears to be substantially compliant with
Year 2000 issues.

The costs of updating the various software systems will be borne by the
various companies that supply the Partnership with services. Therefore, no
significant capital outlays are anticipated and the Partnership expects only
incidental costs of conversion for Year 2000 issues.

The Partnership is in the business of making Mortgage Investments secured
by real estate. The most important factor in making the Mortgage Investments is
the value of the real estate security. Year 2000 issues have some potential to
effect industries and businesses located in the marketplaces in which the
Partnership places its Mortgage Investments. This would only have an affect on
the Partnership if Year 2000 issues cause a significant downturn in the northern
California economy. In fact, Silicon Valley is located in our marketplace. There
may be significant increased demand for Silicon Valley type services and goods
as companies make ready for the Year 2000 conversion.

Although not fully developed, if all or any accounting, loan servicing and
investor services conversions should fail, the size and scope of the
Partnerships activities are such that they could be handled at an equal or
higher cost on a manual basis or outsourced to other servicers existing in the
industry, while correcting the systems problems and are likely to be temporarily
in nature. While this would entail some initial set up costs, these costs would
likely not be so significant as to have a material effect upon the Partnership,
shifting portions of daily operations to manual or outsourced systems may result
in time delays. Time delays in providing accurate and pertinent information
could negatively affect customer relations and lead to the potential loss of new
loans and Limited Partner investments.

The foregoing analysis of Year 2000 issues includes forward-looking
statements and predictions about possible or future events, results of
operations and financial condition. As such, this analysis may prove to




be inaccurate because of the assumptions made by the General Partner or the
actual development of future events. No assurance can be given that any of these
forward-looking statements and predictions will ultimately prove to be correct
or even substantially correct. Various other risks and uncertainties could also
affect the Year 2000 analysis causing the effect on the Partnership to be more
severe than discussed above. The General Partners Year 2000 compliance testing
cannot guarantee that all computer systems will function without error beyond
the Year 2000. Risks also exist with respect to Year 2000 compliance by external
parties who may have no relationship to the Partnership or the General Partner,
but who have a significant relationship with one or more third parties, and may
have a system failure that adversely affects the Partnerships ability to
conduct business. While the General Partner is attempting to identify such
external parties, no assurance can be given that it will be able to do so.
Furthermore, third parties with direct relationships with the Partnership, whose
systems have been identified as likely to be Year 2000 compliant, may suffer a
breakdown due to unforeseen circumstances. It is also possible that the
information collected by the General Partner for these third parties regarding
their compliance with Year 2000 issues may be incorrect. Finally, it should be
noted that the foregoing discussion of Year 2000 issues assumes that to the
extent the General Partners systems fail, whether because of unforeseen
complications or because of third parties failure, switching to manual
operations will allow the Partnership to continue to conduct its business. While
the General Partner believes this assumption to be reasonable, if it is
incorrect, the Partnerships results of operations would likely be adversely
affected.

REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL Redwood Mortgage Investors VI, (the
Partnership) is a California Limited Partnership, of which the General
Partners are D. Russell Burwell, Michael R. Burwell and Gymno Corporation, a
California corporation owned and operated by the individual General Partners.
The partnership was organized to engage in business as a mortgage lender for the
primary purpose of making Mortgage Investments secured by Deeds of Trust on
California real estate. Mortgage Investments are being arranged and serviced by
Redwood Mortgage Corp., (Redwood Mortgage), an affiliate of the General
Partners. The offering was closed with contributed capital totaling $9,781,366.

Each months income is distributed to partners based upon their
proportionate share of partners capital. Some partners have elected to withdraw
income on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.

A. Sales Commissions - Formation Loan Sales commissions ranging from 0%
(units sold by General Partners) to 10% of gross proceeds were paid by Redwood
Mortgage., an affiliate of the General Partners that arranges and services the
Mortgage Investments. To finance the sales commissions, the Partnership loaned
to Redwood Mortgage $623,255 (the Formation Loan) relating to contributed
capital of $9,781,366. The Formation Loan is unsecured, and was repaid without
interest, in ten annual installments of principal, commencing December 31, 1989.
The last payment was made during 1998. The following reflects transactions in
the Formation Loan account through December 31, 1998:

Amount loaned during 1987,1988 and 1989 $623,255
Less:
Cash repayments $566,586
Allocation of early withdrawal penalties 56,669 623,255
============ ---------

Balance December 31, 1998 $0
=========

The Formation Loan, which is receivable from Redwood Mortgage, an affiliate
of the General Partners, was deducted from Limited Partners capital in the
balance sheet. As amounts were collected from Redwood Mortgage, the deduction
from capital was reduced. As of December 31, 1998 there was no longer a
deduction.

B. Other Organizational and Offering Expenses Organizational and offering
expenses, other than sales commissions, (including printing costs, attorney and
accountant fees, and other costs), paid by the Partnership from the offering
proceeds totaled $360,885 or 3.69% of the gross proceeds contributed by the
Partners. Such costs have been fully amortized and allocated to the Partners.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Accrual Basis

Revenues and expenses are accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting
wherein income is recognized as earned and expenses are recognized as incurred.
Once a Mortgage Investment is categorized as impaired, interest is no longer
accrued thereon.



REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998

B. Management Estimates

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make
estimates based on the information available that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses
for the related periods. Such estimates relate principally to the determination
of the allowance for doubtful accounts, including the valuation of impaired
mortgage investments, and the valuation of real estate acquired through
foreclosure. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

C. Mortgage Investments, Secured by Deeds of Trust

The Partnership has both the intent and ability to hold the Mortgage
Investments to maturity, i.e., held for long-term investment. They are therefore
valued at cost for financial statement purposes with interest thereon being
accrued by the simple interest method.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements (SFAS) 114 and 118
(effective January 1, 1995) provide that if the probable ultimate recovery of
the carrying amount of a Mortgage Investment, with due consideration for the
fair value of collateral, is less than the recorded investment and related
amounts due and the impairment is considered to be other than temporary, the
carrying amount of the investment (cost) shall be reduced to the present value
of future cash flows. The adoption of these statements did not have a material
effect on the financial statements of the Partnership because that was the
valuation method previously used on impaired loans.

At December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, reductions in the cost of Mortgage
Investments categorized as impaired by the Partnership totalled $84,736, $0 and
$13,006, respectively. The reduction in stated value was accomplished by
increasing the allowances for doubtful accounts.

As presented in Note 10 to the financial statements as of December 31,
1998, the average mortgage investment to appraised value of security at the time
the loans were consummated was 65.27%. When a loan is valued for impairment
purposes, an updating is made in the valuation of collateral security. However,
a low loan to value ratio tends to minimize reductions for impairment.

D. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include interest bearing and non-interest bearing bank deposits.

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 propertys estimated fair
value, less estimated costs to sell.


REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998




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 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997:

December 31,
-----------------------------------------------
1998 1997
--------------- ---------------


Costs of properties $366,655 $449,319
Reduction in value 196,733 140,000
--------------- ---------------

Fair value reflected in financial statements $169,922 $309,319
=============== ===============

Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted the provisions of
statement No 121 (SFAS 121) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to
be disposed of. The adoption of SFAS 121 did not have a material impact on the
Partnerships financial position because the methods indicated were essentially
those previously used by the Partnership.

F. Investment in Partnership (see note 5)

G. Income Taxes

No provision for Federal and State income taxes is made in the financial
statements since income taxes are the obligation of the partners if and when
income taxes apply.

H. Organization and Syndication Costs

The Partnership bears its own organization and syndication costs (other
than certain sales commissions and fees described above) including legal and
accounting expenses, printing costs, selling expenses, a 1% wholesale brokerage
fee and filing fees. Organizational costs of $14,750 were capitalized and were
amortized over a five year period. Syndication costs of $346,135 were charged
against partners capital and were allocated to individual partners consistent
with the Partnership Agreement.

I. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Mortgage Investments 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 Mortgage Investment system. A provision
is made for doubtful accounts to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts to
an amount considered by management to be adequate with due consideration to
collateral value to provide for unrecoverable accounts receivable, including
impaired Mortgage Investments, unspecified mortgage investments, accrued
interest and advances on Mortgage Investments, and other accounts receivable
(unsecured). The composition of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997 was as follows:

Accounts receivable, unsecured 23,776 15,182
---------------
===============
$202,244 $28,614
=============== ===============

J. 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 have their investment throughout the period and have
elected to either leave their earnings to compound or have elected to receive
monthly distributions of their net income. Individual income is allocated each
month based on the Limited Partners pro rata share of Partners Capital.
Because the net income percentage varies from month to month, amounts per $1,000
will vary for those individuals who made or withdrew investments during the
period, or select other options. However, the net income per $1,000 average
invested has approximated those reflected for those whose investments and
options have remained constant.

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

Mortgage brokerage commissions for services in connection with the review,
selection, evaluation, negotiation and extension of the Mortgage Investments
were limited up to 12% of the principal amount of the loans through the period
ending 6 months after the termination date of the offering. Thereafter,
commissions are limited to an amount not to exceed 4% of the total Partnership
assets per year. Such commissions are paid by the borrowers, thus, not an
expense of the Partnership. Such commissions totalled $36,700 and $10,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

B. Mortgage Servicing Fees

Monthly mortgage servicing fees are paid to Redwood Mortgage 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 Mortgage
Investment is located. Mortgage servicing fees of $70,630, $39,918, and $44,565
were incurred for years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.



REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998

C. Asset Management Fee

The General Partners are authorized to receive monthly fees for managing
the Partnerships Mortgage Investment portfolio and operations of up to 1/32 of
1% (3/8 of 1% annual). There were no management fees incurred for years 1997 and
1996, respectively. Management fees totalled $6,640 for 1998.

D. Other Fees

The Partnership Agreement provides for other fees such as reconveyance,
mortgage assumption and mortgage extension fees. These fees are paid by the
borrowers to parties related to the General Partners.

E. Income and Losses

All income is credited or charged to partners in relation to their
respective partnership interests. The partnership interest of the General
Partners (combined) is a total of 1%.

F. Operating Expenses

The General Partners or their affiliate (Redwood Mortgage) are reimbursed
by the Partnership for all operating expenses actually incurred by them on
behalf of the Partnership, including without limitation, out-of-pocket general
and administration expenses of the Partnership, accounting and audit fees, legal
fees and expenses, postage and preparation of reports to Limited Partners. In
1998, 1997, and 1996, clerical costs totaling $24,440, $27,786 and $31,838
respectively, were reimbursed to Redwood Mortgage and are included in expenses
in the Statements of Income.

NOTE 4 OTHER PARTNERSHIP PROVISIONS

A. Term of the Partnership

The term of the Partnership is approximately 40 years, unless sooner
terminated as provided. The provisions provided for no capital withdrawal for
the first five years, subject to the penalty provision set forth in (D) below.
Thereafter, investors have the right to withdraw over a five-year period, or
longer.

B. Election to Receive Monthly, Quarterly or Annual Distributions

Upon subscriptions, investors elected either to receive monthly, quarterly
or annual distributions of earnings allocations, or to allow earnings to
compound for at least a period of 5 years.

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

A Limited Partner had no right to withdraw from the Partnership or to
obtain the return of his capital account for at least five years after such
units are purchased which in all instances had occurred by December 31, 1998.
After that time, at the election of the Partner, capital accounts can be
returned over a five year period in 20 equal quarterly installments or such
longer period as is requested.


REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998

Notwithstanding the above, in order to provide a certain degree of
liquidity to the Limited Partners, the General Partners will liquidate a Limited
Partners entire capital account in four quarterly installments beginning on the
last day of the calendar quarter following the quarter in which the notice of
withdrawal is given. Such liquidations shall, however, be subject to a 10% early
withdrawal penalty applicable to any sums withdrawn prior to the time when such
sums otherwise could have been withdrawn pursuant to the liquidation procedure
set forth above. The 10% early withdrawal penalty will be received by the
Partnership, and a portion of the sums collected as such penalty will be applied
toward the next installment(s) of principal under the Formation Loan owed to the
Partnership by Redwood Mortgage. Such portion shall be determined by the ratio
between the initial amount of Formation Loan and the total amount of other
organization and syndication costs incurred by the Partnership in this offering.
The balance of any such early withdrawal penalties shall be retained by the
Partnership for its own account and applied against syndication costs. Since the
syndication costs have been fully amortized as of December 31, 1993, and the
formation loan was paid in 1998, the early withdrawal penalties gained in the
future will be credited to income for the period received.

The Partnership will not establish a reserve from which to fund withdrawals
and, accordingly, the Partnership's capacity to return a Limited Partners
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 - INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP

The Partnerships interest in land located in East Palo Alto, CA., was
acquired through foreclosure. The Partnership interest is invested with that of
two other Partnerships. The Partnerships had been attempting to develop the
property into single family residences. Significant community resistance, as
well as environmental, and fish and wildlife concerns affected efforts to obtain
the required approvals. The Partnership, in resolving disputes which arose
during the course of the Partnerships attempt to obtain entitlements to develop
the property, entered into agreements on May 8, 1998 with Rhone-Poulanc, Inc.
These agreements, among other things, restrict the property to non-residential
uses, provide for appropriate indemnifications, and include other consideration
including the payment of cash. The Partnership still retains liability for the
remediation of pesticide contamination affecting the property. Investigation of
remediation options are ongoing. At this time management does not believe that
remediation of the pesticide contaminants will have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1998, the
Partnership has received $145,443 in excess of its cost.

NOTE 6 - NOTE PAYABLE BANK - LINE OF CREDIT

The Partnership had a bank line of credit secured by its Mortgage
Investment portfolio up to $2,000,000 at 1% over prime. The balances were
$390,000 and $899,011 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and the
interest rate at December 31, 1998 was 8.75% (7.75% prime + 1%). The line of
credit expired December 31, 1998 and was replaced by a line of credit of
$1,000,000 at 8.75% which will expire December 31, 1999.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998

NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal actions against borrowers and other involved parties have been
initiated by the Partnership to help assure payments against unsecured accounts
receivable totaling $23,775. The Partnership is a defendant along with numerous
defendants, including a developer, contractor, and other lenders, in a lawsuit
involving the Partnerships attempt to recover its investment in real estate
acquired through foreclosure.

Management anticipates that the ultimate outcome of the legal matters will
not have a material adverse effect on the net assets of the Partnership, with
due consideration having been given in arriving at the allowance for doubtful
accounts.


NOTE 8 - 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:

December 31,
-----------------------------------------------
1998 1997
---------------- ---------------

Net assets - Partners Capital
per financial statements $8,707,534 $9,431,453


Formation Loan receivable 0 59,521
Allowance for doubtful accounts 202,344 28,614
================ ===============
Net assets tax basis $8,909,878 $9,519,588
================ ===============

In 1998 and 1997, approximately 71% and 72%, respectively, of taxable
income was allocated to tax exempt organizations i.e., retirement plans. Such
plans do not have to file income tax returns unless their unrelated business
income exceeds $1,000. Applicable amounts become taxable when distribution is
made to participants.

NOTE 9 - 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, are subject to immediate withdrawal.

(b) The Carrying Value of Mortgage Investments - (see note 2 (c)) was
$7,969,735 at December 31, 1998. The fair value of these investments of
$7,945,380 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 doubtful accounts along with accrued
interest and advances related thereto should also be considered in evaluating
the fair value versus the carrying value.
