PART I

Item 1. Business

a. General Development of Business

Diversified Historic Investors VI ("Registrant") is a
limited partnership formed in 1988 under Pennsylvania law. As of
December 31, 2002, Registrant had outstanding 25,461 units of limited
partnership interest (the "Units").

Registrant is presently in its operating stage. It
originally owned eight properties or interests therein. Interests in
three properties have been lost through foreclosure and an interest in
a third property was reduced substantially and subsequently sold. In
2002, an additional property was purchased. See Item 2. Properties,
for a description thereof. For a discussion of the operations of the
Registrant, see Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following is a summary of significant transactions
involving the Registrant's interests:

b. Financial Information about Industry Segments

The Registrant operates in one industry segment.

c. Narrative Description of Business

Registrant is in the business of operating, holding,
selling, exchanging and otherwise dealing in and with real properties
containing improvements which are "Certified Historic Structures," as
such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), or
which are eligible for designation as such, for use as apartments,
offices, hotels and commercial spaces, or any combination thereof, or
low income housing eligible for the tax credit provided by Section 42
of the Code, and such other uses as the Registrant's general partner
may deem appropriate.

Since the Registrant's inception, all the properties
acquired either by the Registrant, or the subsidiary partnerships in
which it has an interest, have been rehabilitated and certified as
historic structures and have received the related investment tax
credit. In addition, four properties (Roseland, Mater Dolorosa,
Strehlow Terrace and Saunders Apartments) are low-income housing
structures which qualify for, have received, and will continue to
receive, the low income tax credits. Each of the properties currently
owned is held for rental operations. At this time it is anticipated
that all the properties will continue to be held for this purpose. At
such time as real property values begin to increase to a point where
they can be sold at a price which is sufficient to repay the
underlying indebtedness, the Registrant will re-evaluate its
investment strategy regarding the properties.

As of December 31, 2002, Registrant owned interests in
five properties, located in Nebraska (one), Virginia (one),
Pennsylvania (two), and Louisiana (one). In total, the properties
contain 17 apartment units, 137 condominium units used as rental
units, and 50,648 square feet ("sf") of commercial/retail space. As
of December 31, 2002, 141 of the apartment and condominium units were
under lease (92%) at monthly rental rates ranging from $111 to $1,630.
In addition, 50,648 sf of commercial/retail space was under lease
(100%) at annual rates ranging from $8.00 to $26.50 per sf. Rental of
the apartments and commercial space is not expected to be seasonal.
For a further discussion of the properties, see Item 2. Properties.

Strehlow Terrace Apartments was foreclosed by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development, the guarantor of the
first mortgage, on April 30, 2002.

On June 30, 2002, the Registrant sold its investment in
Saunders Apartments for $25,000. The proceeds of the sale were used
to pay the accrued expenses of the Registrant.

The Registrant is affected by and subject to the general
competitive conditions of the residential and commercial real estate
industry. As a result of the overbuilding that occurred in the
1980's, the competition for both residential and commercial tenants in
the local markets where the Registrant's properties are located is
generally strong. In each of the markets, there are several similar
historically certified rehabilitated buildings. Three of the
properties held for rental are market-rate properties and are located
in Alexandria, Virginia, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At these
properties the Registrant is forced to keep its rent levels
competitively low in order to maintain moderate to high occupancy
levels. Management of each of these properties makes frequent market
analyses in order to set rent levels. When occupancy nears the 97-99%
range, management considers raising the rents by more than a normal
cost of living increase. If occupancy falls below 85%, management
considers lowering rents. Two of the properties held for rental are
low-income housing structures located in Omaha, Nebraska, and New
Orleans, Louisiana. These properties have fixed rental rates and face
competition for low to moderate income tenants from other low income
properties in the area. However, there is no organization which holds
a dominant position in the residential housing or commercial leasing
market in any of the geographic areas in which the Registrant's
properties are located.

Registrant has no employees. Registrant's activities are
overseen by Brandywine Construction & Management, Inc. ("BCMI"), a
real estate management firm.

Operations and Export Sales

See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Item 2. Properties

As of December 31, 2002, Registrant owned interests in five
partnerships that each owns one property. A summary description of
each property is given below.

a. Firehouse Square - consists of 31,507 sf of commercial
space at 902-910 King Street in Alexandria, Virginia. In December
1988, Registrant was admitted, with a 90% general partner interest, to
Firehouse Square General Partnership ("FSGP"), a Virginia general
partnership, for a cash capital contribution of $1,750,000. FSGP
acquired and rehabilitated the property for $5,660,000 ($151.51 per
sf), funded by the equity contribution and a mortgage note payable of
$4,207,000. On June 1, 1993, the first mortgage was modified. The
terms of the modification included the addition of all accrued and
unpaid interest ($218,728) to the principal balance and revision of
the payment terms. The lender also advanced $40,711 for real estate
taxes and $33,627 for tenant improvements. Monthly payments of
interest to the new note holder were to be made in an amount equal to
net operating income. The note accrued interest at prime plus 1/2%.
On November 16, 1994, the new first mortgage holder foreclosed upon
its mortgage. By "credit bidding" its mortgage, the mortgage holder
became the successful bidder at sale. The first mortgage holder sold
its successful bid to a partnership known as 901 King Street
Associates ("KSA"). KSA is a general partnership owned 90% by the
Registrant. The selling price of the mortgage was the amount that the
mortgage had been immediately prior to foreclosure. The obligation
has terms materially the same as the original mortgage loan and is
secured by a new mortgage on the property. Therefore, after the sale,
the Registrant's interest in the property was unchanged. The
principal balance of the mortgage at December 31, 1997 was $4,304,188.
The note accrued interest at prime plus 1/2% and the entire principal
balance was due October 1998. In June 1995, the Registrant refinanced
$900,000 of the first mortgage. This loan bore interest at 9.75%, was
payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $8,021
and was due in June 2005. In November 1998, both mortgages were
refinanced. The first mortgage was refinanced with a $1,937,000
mortgage (principal balance of $1,849,227 at December 31, 2001) which
bears interest at 7.08%, is payable in monthly installments of
principal and interest of $13,789 and is due in November 2008. The
second mortgage was refinanced with a $4,330,107 mortgage which bears
interest at 7%, is due in December 2008 with monthly payments of
interest to be made in an amount equal to net operating income.
Proceeds from the refinancing of the first mortgage were used to
reduce the second mortgage principal.

On September 26, 2002, the Firehouse Square first
mortgage was refinanced with a temporary bridge loan and the net
proceeds were used to partially repay the second mortgage on the
property. The principal balance of the first mortgage was increased
to $3,520,000 and the net proceeds were used to reduce the second
mortgage. In exchange for a 20% ownership interest in and a preferred
return from KSA, the second mortgage holder converted the balance of
its outstanding debt to equity and cancelled its loan. The permanent
financing closed January 31, 2003. The new first mortgage bears
interest at 6.75 % and is due March 1, 2013.

The property is managed by BCMI. As of December 31,
2002, 31,507 sf of space were under lease (100%) at annual rates
ranging from $9.12 to $26.50 per sf. The occupancy for the previous
four years was 100% for 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998. The average annual
rent was $ 7.56 to $ 22.18 for 2001, $7.34 to $21.53 for 2000, and
$7.12 to $20.89 for 1999 and 1998. There are three tenants who each
occupy ten percent or more of the rentable square footage. They
operate principally as a law firm, an architectural firm and a
computer company. All leases are operating leases and the minimum
future rentals on the non-cancelable leases as of December 31, 2002
are $1,848,832.
The following is a table showing commercial lease
expirations at Firehouse Square for the next five years.

For tax purposes, this property has a basis of $4,260,797
and is depreciated using the straight-line method with a useful life
of 39 years. The annual real estate taxes are $40,943. It is the
opinion of the management of the Registrant that the property is
adequately covered by insurance.

b. Roseland - consists of 17 low-income apartments and 3,000
sf of retail space at 4932 South 24th Street in South Omaha, Nebraska.
In July 1988, Registrant was admitted with a 98% general partner
interest and a 1% limited partner interest to Roseland Redevelopment
Partners ("RRP"), a Nebraska limited partnership, for a cash capital
contribution of $700,000. RRP acquired and rehabilitated the property
for $1,680,000 ($70.29 per sf), funded by the equity contribution and
three notes payable. The first note payable of $500,000 is non-
interest bearing with principal due upon sale of the property; the
second note payable of $63,313 bore interest at 9.16%, with interest
adjusting every three years based on the three-year Treasury Bill rate
plus 250 basis points, was payable in semi-annual installments of
principal and interest of $4,856 and was due in November 2001. The
third note payable of $370,000 (principal balance of $313,808 at
December 31, 2002) bears interest at 8%, is payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest of $3,083 and is due in August
2006.

The property is managed by an independent property
management firm. On December 31, 2002, 11 of the units were leased
(65%) at monthly rents of $111 to $535 and 3,000 sf of commercial
space (100%) was leased at annual rents ranging from $3.00 to $8.00
per sf. All residential leases are renewable, one-year leases. The
occupancy for the residential units for the previous four years was
71% for 2001, 80% for 2000, 80% for 1999 and 82% for 1998. The
monthly rental range has been approximately the same since 1998. The
commercial space has been 100% occupied since 1998. The range for
annual rents has been $3.00 to $8.00 for 2001 and 2000 and $3.13 to
$5.00 per sf for 1999 and 1998. There is one tenant who occupies ten
percent or more of the rentable square footage. It principally
functions as a tax counseling provider. All commercial leases are
operating leases and the minimum future rentals on the noncancelable
leases as of December 31, 2002 are $4,800.


The following is a table showing commercial lease
expirations at Roseland for the next five years:

and is depreciated using the straight-line method with a useful life
of 27.5 years. The annual real estate taxes are $1,314. It is the
opinion of the management of the Registrant that the property is
adequately covered by insurance.

c. Mater Dolorosa Apartments - consists of 66 low income
apartments located at 1265 South Carrollton Avenue in New Orleans,
Louisiana. In July 1988, Registrant was admitted with a 90% general
partnership interest to Mater Dolorosa General Partnership ("MDGP") a
Pennsylvania general partnership, for a cash contribution of
$1,519,000. MDGP acquired and rehabilitated the property for
$3,149,000 ($59.39 per sf), funded by the equity contribution and a
note payable of $1,790,000. The note payable bears interest at 8.5%,
is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of
$17,627, and is due in April 2005 (principal balance at December 31,
2002 of $446,261).

The property is managed by a property management firm
which is an affiliate of the Registrant's co-general partner of MDGP.
At December 31, 2001, 64 of the units were rented (97%) at monthly
rents of $533 to $629. All leases are renewable, one-year leases.
The occupancy for the previous four years was 100% for 2001 and 2000

approximately the same since 1998. For tax purposes, this property
has a basis of $3,178,476 and is depreciated using the straight-line
method with a useful life of 27.5 years. The annual real estate taxes
are $5,531. There is no one tenant who occupies ten percent or more of

that the property is adequately covered by insurance.

d. Canal House - consists of 71 residential condominium
units and 8,341sf of commercial condominium space located at 4250-4312
Main Street, Manayunk, Pennsylvania. In February 1989, Registrant was
admitted to Canal House Historic Associates ("CHHA"), a Pennsylvania
limited partnership, with a 99% general partner interest for a cash
contribution of $6,000,000. During 1990, Registrant made an
additional cash contribution of $200,000. The 1% limited partnership
interest is also controlled by Registrant; it is held by a
Pennsylvania corporation whose stock is owned by Registrant. CHHA
acquired and rehabilitated the property for $9,700,000 ($94.41 per sf)
which was funded by the equity contribution and a loan of $4,000,000
with interest at 7.75% and monthly principal and interest payments
(based on a 30-year amortization schedule) note (principal balance of
$1,520,117 at December 31, 2002). In October 1995, the Registrant
ceased making debt service payments. The loan was sold in December
1995. The Registrant entered into an agreement with the new holder of
the whereby the maturity of the loan was extended to December 2004 and
monthly payments of interest are to be made to the new note holder in
an amount equal to net operating income. In April 1996, the
Registrant refinanced $3,216,000 of the first mortgage. This new loan
was a first mortgage which bore interest at 8.75%, payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest of $25,300 and was due in April

factors which materially affect the comparability of the information
reflected in the above table.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(1) Liquidity

At December 31, 2002, Registrant had unrestricted cash of
$52,278. Cash generated from operations is used primarily to fund
operating expenses and debt service. If cash flow proves to be
insufficient, the Registrant will attempt to negotiate loan
modifications with the various lenders in order to remain current on
all obligations. The Registrant is not aware of any additional
sources of liquidity.

As of December 31, 2002, Registrant had restricted cash
of $275,856 consisting primarily of funds held as security deposits,
replacement reserves and escrows for taxes and insurance. As a
consequence of these restrictions as to use, Registrant does not deem
these funds to be a source of liquidity.

In recent years the Registrant has realized significant
losses, including the foreclosure of three properties and a
substantial reduction of interest in a third property. At the present
time, all remaining properties are able to pay their operating
expenses and debt service including one of the properties where the
mortgage is a cash-flow mortgage, requiring all available cash after
payment of operating expenses to be paid to the first mortgage holder.
None of the properties is currently producing a material amount of
revenues in excess of operating expenses and debt service. Therefore,
it is unlikely that any cash will be available to the Registrant to
pay its general and administrative expenses.

It is the Registrant's intention to continue to hold the
properties until they can no longer meet the debt service requirements
and the properties are foreclosed, or the market value of the
properties increases to a point where they can be sold at a price
which is sufficient to repay the underlying indebtedness (principal
plus accrued interest).

Strehlow Terrace Apartments was foreclosed by the
Department of Housing
and Urban Development, the guarantor of the first mortgage, on April
30, 2002.
On June 30, 2002, the Registrant's investment in
Saunders Apartments was sold for $25,000. The proceeds of the sale
were used to pay the accrued expenses of the Registrant.

(2) Capital Resources

Any capital expenditures needed are generally replacement
items and are funded out of cash from operations or replacement
reserves, if any. The Registrant is not aware of any factors which
would cause historical capital expenditures levels not to be
indicative of capital requirements in the future and accordingly, does
not believe that it will have to commit material resources to capital
investments for the foreseeable future.

(3) Results of Operations

During 2002, Registrant incurred a net loss of $170,867
($6.64 per limited partnership unit) compared to a net loss of
$1,395,838 ($54.27 per limited partnership unit) in 2001 and a net
loss of $1,338,104 ($52.03 per limited partnership unit) in 2000.
Included in the net loss for 2002 is a gain of $84,113 on the sale of
the investment in Saunders Apartments and an extraordinary gain of
$1,067,620 on the foreclosure of Strehlow Terrace Apartments.

Rental income decreased from $2,445,698 in 2000 to
$2,434,782 in 2001 and $2,301,046 in 2002. The decrease from 2001 to
2002 is due to the foreclosure of Strehlow partially offset by an
increase in occupancy and average rental rates at Canal House and
Firehouse Square and the addition of 4258 Main Street to the
portfolio. The decrease from 2000 to 2001 is due to a decrease in
average occupancy at Strehlow, partially offset by an increase in the
average rental rates at Canal House and Firehouse Square.

Rental operations expense increased from $1,192,754 in
2000 to $1,247,800 in 2001 and decreased to $1,123,519 in 2002. The
decrease from 2001 to 2002 is due to the foreclosure of Strehlow
partially offset by increases in insurance expense at Canal House,
4258 Main Street, Firehouse Square and Mater Dolorosa. The increase
from 2000 to 2001 is due to an increase in maintenance expense at
Canal House, Mater Dolorosa and Roseland, an increase in utilities
expense at Strehlow and Roseland, and an increase in insurance expense
at Canal House and Mater Dolorosa.

Interest expense decreased from $1,398,919 in 2000 to
$1,397,720 in 2001 and increased to $1,539,717 in 2002. The increase
from 2001 to 2002 is due to a prepayment penalty incurred upon the
refinance of the first mortgage at Firehouse Square. The decrease
from 2000 to 2001 is due to a decrease in the principal balance on
which interest is calculated.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased from
$1,178,867 in 2000 to $1,190,197 in 2001 and decreased to 1,020,938 in
2002. The decrease from 2001 to 2002 is due to the foreclosure of
Strehlow.

In 2002, income of $5,000 was recognized at Registrant's
properties compared to losses of $ 1,293,000 in 2001 and $ 1,227,000
in 2000. . Included in the income for 2002 is a gain of $84,113 on
the sale of the investment in Saunders Apartments and an
extraordinary gain of $1,067,620 on the foreclosure of Strehlow
Terrace Apartments. A discussion of property operations/activities
follows:

In 2002, Registrant incurred a loss of $102,000 at
Roseland, including $70,000 of depreciation and amortization expense,
compared to a loss of $86,000, including $69,000 of depreciation and
amortization expense, in 2001 and a loss of $79,000, including $70,000
of depreciation an amortization expense, in 2000. Since Roseland is a
low income housing property, rents are fixed in relation to specified
income levels. As a result, similar to Mater Dolorosa and Strehlow
Terrace discussed below, the property experiences high occupancy
levels but rental income remains low. The increase in loss from 2001
to 2002 is due to a decrease in occupancy. The increase in loss from
2000 to 2001 is due to an increase in utilities expense and
maintenance expense. The increase in utilities expense is due to an
increase in electricity expense and the increase in maintenance
expense is due to an increase in apartment preparation expenses.

In 2002, Registrant incurred a loss of $841,000 at
Firehouse Square, including $341,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense, compared to a loss of $460,000, including $276,000 of
depreciation and amortization expense, in 2001 and a loss of $499,000,
including $268,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, in 2000.
The increase in loss from 2001 to 2002 is due to increases in interest
expense and insurance expense. The increase in interest expense is due
to a prepayment penalty incurred upon the refinance of the first
mortgage. The decrease in loss from 2000 to 2001 is due to an
increase in rental income, partially offset by an increase in
depreciation and interest expense. The increase in rental income is
due to an increase in average rental rates.

In 2002, Registrant recognized income of $13,000 at Mater
Dolorosa, including $126,000 of depreciation and amortization expense,
compared to income of $16,000, including $126,000 of depreciation and
amortization expense, in 2001 and income of $21,000, including
$126,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, in 2000. Since
Mater Dolorosa is a low income housing property, rents are fixed in
relation to specified income levels. As a result, similar to Roseland
and Strehlow Terrace, the property experiences high occupancy levels
but rental income remains low. The decrease in income from 2001 to
2002 is due to a decrease in rental income partially offset by a
decrease in maintenance expense. The decrease in rental income is due
to a decrease in occupancy. The decrease in maintenance is due to a
decrease in repairs expense. The decrease in income from 2000 to 2001
is due to an increase in insurance expense and maintenance expense.
The increase in maintenance expense is due to an increase in repairs
expense.

In 2002, Registrant recognized income of $1,282,000 at
Strehlow Terrace Apartments, including $0 of depreciation and
amortization expense, compared to a loss of $449,000, including
$242,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, in 2001 and a loss
of $325,000, including $240,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense, in 2000. Included in income for 2002 is an extraordinary
gain on the extinguishment of debt of $1,067,620. Since Strehlow is a
low income housing property, rents are fixed in relation to specified
income levels. As a result, similar to Registrant's other low-income
properties, the property experiences high occupancy levels but rental
income remains low. The increase in income from 2001 to 2002 is due
to an extraodinary gain from the foreclosure of the property. The
increase in loss from 2000 to 2001 is due to an increase in operating
expenses and a decrease in rental income. The decrease in rental
income is due to a decrease in average occupancy and the increase in
operating expense is due to an increase in utilities expense and
management fees.

Strehlow Terrace Apartments was foreclosed by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development, the guarantor of the
first mortgage, on April 30, 2002.

In 2002, Registrant incurred a loss of $323,000 at Canal
House, including $403,000 of depreciation and amortization expense
compared to a loss of $314,000 including depreciation and amortization
expense of $400,000 in 2001 and a loss of $344,000 including
depreciation and amortization expense of $396,000 in 2000. The
increase in loss from 2001 to 2002 is due to an increase in operating
expenses partially offset by an increase in rental income. The
increase in operating expenses is due to increases in insurance,
maintenance and advertising expenses. The increase in rental income
is due to an increase in commercial occupancy. The decrease in loss
from 2000 to 2001 is due to an increase in rental income, partially
offset by an increase in operating expense. The increase in rental
income is due to an increase in average rental rates and the increase
in operating expense is due to an increase in commissions expense and
real estate tax expense.

In 2002, Registrant incurred a loss of $24,000 at 4258
Main Street, including $21,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense. The registrant purchased the property on October 1, 2002.

Summary of Equity Method Investments

In 2002, Registrant recognized income of $84,000 at
Saunders Apartments compared to a loss of $11,000 in 2001 and a loss
of $20,000 in 2000. The increase in income from 2001 to 2002 is due
to the sale of the Registrant's interest in the property. The
decrease in loss from 2000 to 2001 is due to an increase in rental
income and a decrease in maintenance expense. The increase in rental
income is due to an increase in occupancy and the decrease in
maintenance expense is due to a decrease in apartment preparation
expenses and repairs expense.

On June 30, 2002, the Registrant sold its investment in
Saunders Apartments for $25,000. The proceeds of the sale were used
to pay the accrued expenses of the partnership.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Partners of Diversified Historic Investors VI

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Diversified Historic Investors VI (a Pennsylvania limited partnership)
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related
statements of operations, changes in partners' equity and cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit
the financial statements of Strehlow Terrace Apartments Limited
Partnership, which reflect total assets of $3,344,968 and $3,336,607
as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and total revenues of $262,574 and
$364,615, respectively, for the years then ended. In addition, we did
not audit the financial statements of Mater Dolorosa General
Partnership which reflect assets of $1,385,658 and $1,509,658 as of
December 31, 2002 and 2002 and total revenues of $404,964 and
$426,567, respectively, for the years then ended. The statements of
Mater Dolorosa were audited by other auditors whose report has been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for Mater Dolorosa General Partnership, is based solely on
the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. These standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
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 that our audit provides 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
Diversified Historic Investors VI as of December 31, 2002 and 2001,
and the results of operations and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The Schedule of
Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation on page 33 is presented for
the purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated
financial statements and, in our opinion, which insofar as it relates
to Strehlow Terrace Apartments Limited Partnership and Mater Dolorosa
General Partnership is based on the report of other auditors, such
information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the partnership will continue as a going concern. In recent years,
the partnership has incurred significant losses from operations, which
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(a limited partnership)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------


NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

Diversified Historic Investors VI (the "Partnership"), a limited
partnership, was formed in January 1988 to acquire, rehabilitate,
renovate, manage, operate, hold, sell, exchange, and otherwise deal in
and with real properties containing improvements which are "certified
historic structures" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(the "Code"), or which are eligible for the tax credit provided by
Section 42 of the Code, and such other uses as Dover Historic Advisors
VI (the "General Partner") deems appropriate, and to engage in any and
all activities related or incidental thereto. Rehabilitations
undertaken by the Partnership were done with a view to obtaining
certification of expenditures therefor as "qualified rehabilitation
expenditures" as defined in the Code.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied
in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial
statements follows:

1. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and five subsidiary partnerships ("Ventures") in which the
Partnership has controlling interests, with appropriate elimination of
inter-partnership transactions and balances. In addition, the
Partnership owned a minority interest of 30% in one partnership, which
it accounts for on the equity method. Allocations of income and loss
to the minority owners of the Ventures will be made until and unless
the cumulative losses applicable to the minority interests exceed the
minority interests in the equity capital of the Ventures. These
financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of the
Partnership's General partner, are necessary for a fair statement of
the results for those years.

2. Depreciation

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings and improvements are
depreciated over 25 years and furniture and fixtures over five years.

3. Net Loss Per Partnership Unit

The net loss per limited partnership unit is based on the weighted
average number of limited partnership units outstanding (25,461 units
in 2002, 2001 and 2000).
3. Costs of Issuance

Costs incurred in connection with the offering and sale of limited
partnership units were charged against partners' equity as incurred.

4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with
a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

5. Income Taxes

Income taxes or credits resulting from earnings or losses are payable
by or accrue to the benefits of the partners; accordingly, no
provision has been made for income taxes in these financial
statements.

6. Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes amounts held for tenant security deposits and
real estate tax reserves.

7. Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when rental payments are due on a straight-
line basis. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until
earned.

8. Rental Properties

Rental properties are stated at cost. A provision for impairment of
value is recorded when a decline in the value of a property is
determined to be other than temporary as a result of one or more of
the following: (1) a property is offered for sale at a price below its
current carrying value, (2) a property has significant balloon
payments due within the foreseeable future which the Partnership does
not have the resources to meet, and anticipates it will be unable to
obtain replacement financing or debt modification sufficient to allow
it to continue to hold the property over a reasonable period of time,
(3) a property has been, and is expected to continue, generating
significant operating deficits and the Partnership is unable or
unwilling to sustain such deficit results of operations, and has been
unable to, or anticipates it will be unable to, obtain debt
modification, financing or refinancing sufficient to allow it to
continue to hold the property for a reasonable period of time or, (4)
a property's value has declined based on management's expectations
with respect to projected future operational cash flows and prevailing
economic conditions. An impairment loss is indicated when the
undiscounted sum of estimated future cash flows from an asset,
including estimated sales proceeds, and assuming a reasonable period
of ownership up to 5 years, is less than the carrying amount of the
asset. The impairment loss is measured as the difference between the
estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset. In the
absence of the above circumstances, properties and improvements are
stated at cost. An analysis is done on an annual basis at December 31
of each year.

9. Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

NOTE C - LEASES

The Partnership's leases with commercial tenants are classified as
operating leases. Leases are generally for a period of three to five
years and provide for a fixed base rent plus contingent rents based on
level of sales and sharing of certain operating costs.

Minimum future commercial rentals on operating leases as of December
31, 2002 are as follows:
2003 $638,780

The significant terms of the amended and restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership (the "Agreement"), as they relate to the financial
statements, follow:

1. Capital Contributions

The partnership offered investors limited partnership units at $1,000

of issuance as provided for in the Agreement and the withdrawal of the
initial limited partner, initial partnership capital net of costs of
issuance was $22,181,070 from limited partners and $9,900 from the
General Partner.

2. Distributions from Operations

The Agreement provides that, beginning with the date of the admission
of subscribers as limited partners, all distributable cash from
operations (as defined) will be distributed 99% to the limited
partners and 1% to the General Partner. After cash flows from
operations are positive, the General Partner shall also receive 4% of
such cash flows exclusive of interest earned on investments.

All distributable cash from sales or dispositions will be distributed
to the limited partners up to their adjusted invested capital plus an
amount equal to the sum of the greater of an 8.5% cumulative, non-
compounded annual return on the average after-credit invested capital
or a 6% cumulative, non-compounded annual return on the average
adjusted invested capital, plus an early investor incentive, less
amounts previously distributed; thereafter, after receipt by the
General Partner or its affiliates of any accrued but unpaid real
estate brokerage commissions, the balance will be distributed 85% to
the limited partners and 15% to the General Partner. Terms used
throughout this paragraph are as defined under the Agreement.

3. Allocation of Net Income and Net Losses from Operations

Net income and net loss (as defined) will be allocated 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the General Partner with certain exceptions
as defined in the Agreement.

the calendar year and that the Partnership shall continue until
