PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS A
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual
percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance. The initial offering of Class A shares
took place on September 3, 1996. Class A shares bear a 0.15% 12b-1 fee
that is reflected in returns after September 3, 1996. Returns between
September 3, 1996 and September 10, 1992 (the date Class T shares were
first offered) are those of Class T shares and reflect Class T shares'
0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to September 10, 1992 are those of the
Institutional Class, the original class of the fund. Had Class A
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to September 10, 1992
would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class
expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL DEBT FUNDS AVERAGE 3.03% 7.35% 31.22% 96.70%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class A's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare Class A's returns to those of the
Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total return
performance benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with
maturities between one and 17 years. To measure how Class A's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
intermediate municipal debt funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a
peer group of 151 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Class A on May 31, 1988, and the current 3.75% sales charge was paid.
As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would
have grown to $18,151 - an 81.51% increase on the initial investment.
For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,
which reflects the performance of the investment-grade municipal bond
market, did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if
any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to
$22,426 - a 124.26% increase.

any, paid by the class are reinvested, and exclude the effect of sales

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average net asset
value of $10.59 over the past one month, $10.64 over the past six
months and $10.57 over the past one year, you can compare the class'
income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period.
It also helps you to compare funds from different companies on an
equal basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the
yield includes the effect of Class A's 3.75% sales charge. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in the 36%
federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would have
been 3.49% and 5.45%, respectively.

returns prior to September 10, 1992 would have been lower. If Fidelity
had not reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns and
dividends would have been lower.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Class T on May 31, 1988, and the current 2.75% sales charge was paid.
As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the value of the investment would
have grown to $18,308 - an 83.08% increase on the initial investment.
For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,
which reflects the performance of the investment-grade municipal bond
market, did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if
any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to
$22,426 - a 124.26% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will
do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return and yield of a fund that
invests in bonds will vary. That
means if you sell your shares
during a market downturn, you
might lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

TOTAL RETURN COMPONENTS include both dividend returns and capital
returns. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid by the
class. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the class to
shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the class'
share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if
any, paid by the class are reinvested, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

</TABLE>
DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average net asset
value of $10.60 over the past one month, $10.64 over the past six
months and $10.58 over the past one year, you can compare the class'
income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period.
It also helps you to compare funds from different companies on an
equal basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the
yield includes the effect of Class T's 2.75% sales charge. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in the 36%
federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would have
been 3.50% and 5.47%, respectively.
ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS B
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual
percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance.
The initial offering of Class B shares took place on June 30, 1994.
Class B shares bear a 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to January 1, 1996)
that is reflected in returns after June 30, 1994. Returns between
September 10, 1992 (the date Class T shares were first offered) and
June 30, 1994 are those of Class T shares and reflect Class T shares'
0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to September 10, 1992 are those of
Institutional Class, the original class of the fund. Had Class B
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to June 30, 1994 would
have been lower. Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charges
included in the past six months, past one year, past five years and
past 10 years total return figures are 3%, 3%, 0% and 0%,
respectively. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain class expenses,
the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class B's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, past six months, one year,
five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a
fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class B's returns to those
of the Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total return
performance benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with
maturities between one and 17 years. To measure how Class B's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
intermediate municipal debt funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a
peer group of 151 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Class B on May 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1998, the
value of the investment would have been $18,311 - an 83.11% increase
on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the performance of the
investment-grade municipal bond market, did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
would have grown to $22,426 - a 124.26% increase.

shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the class'
share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if
any, paid by the class are reinvested, and exclude the effect of sales

</TABLE>
DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average net asset
value of $10.59 over the past one month, $10.64 over the past six
months and $10.57 over the past one year, you can compare the class'
income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period.
It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis. The offering share price used in the calculation of the yield
excludes the effect of Class B's contingent deferred sales charge. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in the 36%
federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain class expenses, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would have
been 2.98% and 4.66%, respectively.
ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - CLASS C
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual
percentage change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance.
The initial offering of Class C shares took place on November 3, 1997.
Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee that is reflected in returns
after November 3, 1997. Returns between June 30, 1994 (the date Class
B shares were first offered) and November 3, 1997 are those of Class B
shares and reflect Class B shares' 0.90% 12b-1 fee (1.00% prior to
January 1, 1996). Returns between September 10, 1992 (the date Class T
shares were first offered) and June 30, 1994 are those of Class T
shares and reflect Class T shares' 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Returns prior to
September 10, 1992 are those of Institutional Class, the original
class of the fund. Had Class C shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected,
returns prior to November 3, 1997 would have been lower. Class C's
contingent deferred sales charges included in the past six months and
the past one year total return figure is 1.00%. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain class expenses, the total returns and dividends
would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Class C's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, past six months, one year,
five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a
fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare Class C's returns to those
of the Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - a total return
performance benchmark for investment-grade municipal bonds with
maturities between one and 17 years.
To measure how Class C's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the intermediate municipal debt funds average, which
reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 151 mutual funds. These benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude
the effect of sales charges.

months and $10.54 over the life of the class. The 30-day annualized
YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the
bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows
you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of
the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax equivalent yield shows what you would have
to earn on a taxable investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if
you're in the 36% federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of
the federal alternative minimum tax, if applicable. Yield information
will be reported once Class C has a longer, more stable, operating
history.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Investor sentiment, shifting supply
and demand conditions, and
volatility in Asia played key roles
in the municipal bond market during
the six months that ended May 31,
1998. During this period, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a measure of the municipal
bond market - returned 3.78%. To
compare, the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a
measure of the investment-grade
taxable bond market in the U.S. -
returned 4.09%. In late 1997,
volatility in Asia helped prop up the
muni bond market. Investors felt that
currency devaluations in that region
would translate into cheaper prices
for Asian goods and help control
the inflation that can eat into bonds'
fixed payments. Since the beginning
of 1998, though, muni bond supply
increased as many issuers took
advantage of lower interest rates
to refinance their debt at lower rates.
That, combined with softening
demand, dampened the
performance of muni bonds in early
1998. On top of that, the municipal
bond market experienced
extremely heavy issuance in March
and April, as issuers rushed to
market before the largest deal in
municipal market history took place
in May - a $3.5 billion issuance
by Long Island Power Authority. This
heavy supply, coupled with only
intermittent demand, put
downward pressure on municipal
bonds in April. Renewed fears of
economic and political dislocation in
Asia attracted investors to all sectors
of the bond market in May, but,
overall, municipals lagged taxable
issues through the first five months
of 1998.
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Norm Lind became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund on January 31, 1998.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the six-month period that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class
A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares had total returns of 2.91%,
2.96%, 2.62%, and 2.66%, respectively. To get a sense of how the fund
did relative to its competitors, the intermediate municipal debt funds
average returned 3.03% for the same six-month period, according to
Lipper Analytical Services. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers 1-17
Year Municipal Bond Index - which tracks the types of securities in
which the fund invests - returned 3.44% for the same six-month period.
For the 12-month period that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's Class A,
Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 8.02%, 7.81%, 7.22% and
7.25%, respectively. That compared to the 7.35% return of the
intermediate municipal debt funds average and the 8.28% return of the
Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index over the same one-year
period.
Q. YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE FUND FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS NOW. HAVE YOU MADE
ANY STRATEGIC CHANGES SINCE TAKING OVER?
A. No. I've managed the fund much in the same fashion as the previous
manager. We share a similar investment style that focuses on finding
bonds at prices Fidelity identifies as being below their fair value
when one of their characteristics - be it maturity, issuer, credit
quality or another factor - temporarily falls out of favor. Any
changes I've made since taking over are a result of opportunities that
presented themselves.
Q. WHAT SECURITIES CONTRIBUTED MOST TO THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Bonds rated Baa - 11.4% of the fund's investments at the end of
the period - were strong performers. Faced with falling interest
rates, yield-hungry investors increasingly sought these bonds because
they offered a slight yield advantage over higher-quality bonds.
What's more, there was a very small supply of these bonds during the
period. Strong demand pushed up against low supply and boosted the
prices of most Baa-rated bonds. That said, the fund's stake in
higher-rated bonds accounted for the majority of investments. That's
because the yield advantage offered by Baa-rated bonds over the
top-rated Aaa bonds was too small in my opinion. I felt that the
slight amount of additional income offered by Baa-rated bonds wasn't
adequate to cover the extra risk they carried. My concern was that if
the spread - the difference in yield between Aaa-rated and Baa-rated
bonds - were to grow as the result of an economic downturn or another
reason, the Baa-rated bonds would suffer price losses that would more
than overwhelm their income advantage.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Yes, bonds sensitive to being prepaid before maturity lagged the
overall municipal market. For example, housing bonds experienced
increased prepayment activity when interest rates fell, because
mortgage borrowers refinanced their debt in order to lower their
interest costs. While prepayment is good for the borrower, it can be
bad for housing bond holders because it can force them to reinvest at
lower interest rates.
Q. HOW DID YOU ALLOCATE THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS ACROSS BONDS WITH
VARIOUS MATURITIES?
A. I kept the fund focused on bonds with maturities of between five
and 12 years. I did that because the intermediate yield curve - which
is a graphical representation of the yield of intermediate-term
municipal bonds by ascending maturity dates - was relatively flat
beyond 12 years. Up to about a 12-year maturity, an investor was paid
an appropriate amount of added income for each additional year of
maturity. It is this additional income that compensates the investor
for the added risk taken on by investing in the longer-maturity part
of the intermediate market. But for bonds with maturities of 12 years
or longer, the extra income for each successive year was, in my
opinion, less attractive given the level of risk inherent in
longer-term bonds.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET AND THE FUND?
A. The direction of interest rates will be the primary determinant of
municipal performance, and it's anybody's guess where they will be six
months or a year from now. Municipals may be in for a fairly strong
period as they play catch-up to the U.S. Treasury market that has so
far outpaced them this year. As far as the fund is concerned, I'll
continue to emphasize bonds that I think offer good value given their
yields and their risk. For example, I'm comfortable sticking with a
fairly large weighting in high-quality bonds for the time being,
because I feel that lower-quality securities currently do not offer
enough additional yield given their risks.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a
fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VI (the trust) and is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Interest income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for the fiscal year. The schedules of investments
include information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends
and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for futures transactions, capital loss carryforwards and
losses deferred due to futures. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in
the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the funds may invest
in the Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc., (formerly FMR Texas, Inc.) an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in high-quality, short-term
municipal securities of various states and municipalities. Income
distributions from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the funds are
recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. Each fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying
securities is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. With
respect to purchase commitments, each fund identifies securities as
segregated in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the
amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the
market value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the
securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess
of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open
futures contracts at period end is shown in the schedule of
investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under
the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration
or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at
the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $6,984,416 and $10,517,118, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $11,132,184 and $9,498,111, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .39% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support

Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
CLASS A $ 129
CLASS T 4,874
CLASS B 1,348
CLASS C 422
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS -
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 2.75% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within three years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 3% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales charge is based on
0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of
purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any
reinvested dividends and capital gains. A portion of the sales charges
paid to FDC are paid to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:

TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the
custodian, transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class
shares. UMB has entered into a sub-arrangement with Fidelity
Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC) with
respect to all classes of the fund to perform the transfer, dividend
disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent functions. FIIOC, an
affiliate of FMR, receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary
according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders
of the respective classes of the fund. All fees are paid to FIIOC by
UMB, which is reimbursed by each class for such payments. FIIOC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, each class paid the following
transfer agent fees:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
While low interest rates and subdued inflation provided support for
stock and bond markets in the U.S. during the first five months of
1998, concerns about continuing economic and political difficulties in
Asia colored their performance. The stock market reached record
heights due to stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, but
retreated at times when concerns surfaced about how the Asian
volatility would affect business prospects. The bond market benefited
from these retreats, as investors sought alternatives offering lower
volatility.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
Remember to contact your investment professional if you need help with
your investments.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
ADVISOR INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND - INSTITUTIONAL CLASS
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual
percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment.
Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment,
assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains
(the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value). You can also look at the class' income, as reflected in its
yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain
class expenses, the total returns and dividends would have been lower.

INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL DEBT FUNDS AVERAGE 3.03% 7.35% 31.22% 96.70%
</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show Institutional Class' performance in
percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one
year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000
in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare Institutional Class'
returns to those of the Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index
- - a total return performance benchmark for investment-grade municipal
bonds with maturities between one and 17 years.
To measure how Institutional Class' performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the intermediate municipal debt funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six
months average represents a peer group of 151 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund -
Institutional Class on May 31, 1988. As the chart shows, by May 31,
1998, the value of the investment would have grown to $19,102 - a
91.02% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how
the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which reflects the
performance of the investment-grade bond market, did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $22,426 - a 124.26% increase.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the class for a set
period. If you annualize this number, based on an average net asset
value of $10.59 over the past one month, $10.64 over the past six
months and $10.57 over the past one year, you can compare the class'
income over these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a
standard formula for all funds based on the yields of the bonds in the
fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period.
It also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis. The tax equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a
taxable investment to equal the class' tax-free yield, if you're in
the 36% federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the
federal alternative minimum tax, if applicable. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain class expenses, the yield and tax-equivalent yield
would have been 3.86% and 6.03%, respectively.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Investor sentiment, shifting supply
and demand conditions, and
volatility in Asia played key roles
in the municipal bond market during
the six months that ended May 31,
1998. During this period, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a measure of the municipal
bond market - returned 3.78%. To
compare, the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a
measure of the investment-grade
taxable bond market in the U.S. -
returned 4.09%. In late 1997,
volatility in Asia helped prop up the
muni bond market. Investors felt that
currency devaluations in that region
would translate into cheaper prices
for Asian goods and help control
the inflation that can eat into bonds'
fixed payments. Since the beginning
of 1998, though, muni bond supply
increased as many issuers took
advantage of lower interest rates
to refinance their debt at lower rates.
That, combined with softening
demand, dampened the
performance of muni bonds in early
1998. On top of that, the municipal
bond market experienced
extremely heavy issuance in March
and April, as issuers rushed to
market before the largest deal in
municipal market history took place
in May - a $3.5 billion issuance
by Long Island Power Authority. This
heavy supply, coupled with only
intermittent demand, put
downward pressure on municipal
bonds in April. Renewed fears of
economic and political dislocation in
Asia attracted investors to all sectors
of the bond market in May, but,
overall, municipals lagged taxable
issues through the first five months
of 1998.
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Norm Lind became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund on January 31, 1998.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the six-month period that ended May 31, 1998, the fund's
Institutional Class shares had a total return of 3.08%. To get a sense
of how the fund did relative to its competitors, the intermediate
municipal debt funds average returned 3.03% for the same six-month
period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. Additionally, the
Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year Municipal Bond Index - which tracks the
types of securities in which the fund invests - returned 3.44% for the
same six-month period. For the 12-month period that ended May 31,
1998, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 8.08%. That
compared to the 7.35% return of the intermediate municipal debt funds
average and the 8.28% return of the Lehman Brothers 1-17 Year
Municipal Bond Index over the same one-year period.
Q. YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE FUND FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS NOW. HAVE YOU MADE
ANY STRATEGIC CHANGES SINCE TAKING OVER?
A. No. I've managed the fund much in the same fashion as the previous
manager. We share a similar investment style that focuses on finding
bonds at prices Fidelity identifies as being below their fair value
when one of their characteristics - be it maturity, issuer, credit
quality or another factor - temporarily falls out of favor. Any
changes I've made since taking over are a result of opportunities that
presented themselves.
Q. WHAT SECURITIES CONTRIBUTED MOST TO THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Bonds rated Baa - 11.4% of the fund's investments at the end of
the period - were strong performers. Faced with falling interest
rates, yield-hungry investors increasingly sought these bonds because
they offered a slight yield advantage over higher-quality bonds.
What's more, there was a very small supply of these bonds during the
period. Strong demand pushed up against low supply and boosted the
prices of most Baa-rated bonds. That said, the fund's stake in
higher-rated bonds accounted for the majority of investments. That's
because the yield advantage offered by Baa-rated bonds over the
top-rated Aaa bonds was too small in my opinion. I felt that the
slight amount of additional income offered by Baa-rated bonds wasn't
adequate to cover the extra risk they carried. My concern was that if
the spread - the difference in yield between Aaa-rated and Baa-rated
bonds - were to grow as the result of an economic downturn or another
reason, the Baa-rated bonds would suffer price losses that would more
than overwhelm their income advantage.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Yes, bonds sensitive to being prepaid before maturity lagged the
overall municipal market. For example, housing bonds experienced
increased prepayment activity when interest rates fell, because
mortgage borrowers refinanced their debt in order to lower their
interest costs. While prepayment is good for the borrower, it can be
bad for housing bond holders because it can force them to reinvest at
lower interest rates.
Q. HOW DID YOU ALLOCATE THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS ACROSS BONDS WITH
VARIOUS MATURITIES?
A. I kept the fund focused on bonds with maturities of between five
and 12 years. I did that because the intermediate yield curve - which
is a graphical representation of the yield of intermediate-term
municipal bonds by ascending maturity dates - was relatively flat
beyond 12 years. Up to about a 12-year maturity, an investor was paid
an appropriate amount of added income for each additional year of
maturity. It is this additional income that compensates the investor
for the added risk taken on by investing in the longer-maturity part
of the intermediate market. But for bonds with maturities of 12 years
or longer, the extra income for each successive year was, in my
opinion, less attractive given the level of risk inherent in
longer-term bonds.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET AND THE FUND?
A. The direction of interest rates will be the primary determinant of
municipal performance, and it's anybody's guess where they will be six
months or a year from now. Municipals may be in for a fairly strong
period as they play catch-up to the U.S. Treasury market that has so
far outpaced them this year. As far as the fund is concerned, I'll
continue to emphasize bonds that I think offer good value given their
yields and their risk. For example, I'm comfortable sticking with a
fairly large weighting in high-quality bonds for the time being,
because I feel that lower-quality securities currently do not offer
enough additional yield given their risks.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1998 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a
fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VI (the trust) and is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional
Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting
privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters that affect that class. Interest income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution, transfer agent, and certain
other class-specific fees, expenses, and expense reductions.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for the fiscal year. The schedules of investments
include information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned.
PREPAID EXPENSES. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears
all organizational expenses except for registering and qualifying
Class C and shares of Class C for distribution under federal and state
securities law. These expenses are amortized over one year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends
and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for futures transactions, capital loss carryforwards and
losses deferred due to futures. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in
the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the funds may invest
in the Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc., (formerly FMR Texas, Inc.) an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in high-quality, short-term
municipal securities of various states and municipalities. Income
distributions from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the funds are
recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. Each fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying
securities is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. With
respect to purchase commitments, each fund identifies securities as
segregated in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the
amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the
market value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the
securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess
of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open
futures contracts at period end is shown in the schedule of
investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under
the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration
or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at
the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $6,984,416 and $10,517,118, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $11,132,184 and $9,498,111, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .39% of average net
assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted separate distribution plans with
respect to each class of shares (collectively referred to as "the
Plans"). Under certain of the Plans, the class pays Fidelity
Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a distribution
and service fee. A portion of this fee may be reallowed to securities
dealers, banks, and other financial institutions for the distribution
of each class of shares and providing shareholder support

rates of the average net assets of each applicable class:
CLASS A .15%
CLASS T .25%
CLASS B .90%*
CLASS C 1.00%**
* .65% REPRESENTS A DISTRIBUTION FEE AND .25% REPRESENTS A SHAREHOLDER

CLASS T 59,370 1,188
CLASS B 36,435 26,315
CLASS C 832 832
$ 97,041 $ 28,335
Under the Plans, FMR may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of each class' shares. The
Plans also authorize payments to third parties that assist in the sale
of each class' shares or render shareholder support services. For the
period, the following amounts were paid to third parties under the
Plans:
CLASS A $ 129
CLASS T 4,874
CLASS B 1,348
CLASS C 422
INSTITUTIONAL CLASS -
SALES LOAD. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 3.75% for
selling Class A shares, and 2.75% for selling Class T shares of the
fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges
levied on Class B share redemptions occurring within three years of
purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of
purchase. Contingent deferred sales charges are based on declining
rates ranging from 3% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the
lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of purchase or the
net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any reinvested
dividends and capital gains. In addition, purchases of Class A and
Class T shares that were subject to a finder's fee bear a contingent
deferred sales charge on assets that do not remain in the fund for at
least one year.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SALES LOAD - CONTINUED
The Class A and Class T contingent deferred sales charge is based on
0.25% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of
purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any
reinvested dividends and capital gains. A portion of the sales charges
paid to FDC are paid to securities dealers, banks, and other financial
institutions.
For the period, sales charge amounts paid to and retained by FDC were
as follows:
PAID TO RETAINED BY
FDC FDC
CLASS A $ 4,933 $ 1,892

* WHEN CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES ARE INITIALLY SOLD, FDC PAYS
COMMISSIONS FROM ITS OWN RESOURCES TO SECURITIES DEALERS,
BANKS, AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THROUGH WHICH THE SALES ARE
MADE.
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the
custodian, transfer agent, and shareholder servicing agent for the
fund's Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class
shares. UMB has entered into a sub-arrangement with Fidelity
Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC) with
respect to all classes of the fund to perform the transfer, dividend
disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent functions. FIIOC, an
affiliate of FMR, receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary
according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders
of the respective classes of the fund. All fees are paid to FIIOC by
UMB, which is reimbursed by each class for such payments. FIIOC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, each class paid the following
transfer agent fees:

records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the
month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
