                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            (Unaudited)







Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Shelter Properties VI Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with  generally
accepted accounting principles  for interim financial  information and with  the
instructions to Form  10-QSB and Item  310(b) of Regulation  S-B.   Accordingly,
they do not include all of  the information and footnotes required by  generally
accepted accounting  principles  for  complete financial  statements.    In  the
opinion of the Corporate  General Partner (Shelter  Realty VI Corporation),  all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have  been included.   Operating  results for  the nine  month
period ended July 31, 1996, are  not necessarily indicative of the results  that
may be  expected for  the fiscal  year ending  October 31,  1996.   For  further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Partnership's annual report  on Form 10-KSB for  the year ended October  31,
1995.


Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Unrestricted -  Unrestricted cash  includes cash  on hand  and in  banks,  money
market funds and Certificates of Deposit  with original maturities less than  90
days.  At certain times, the amount of cash  deposited at a bank may exceed  the
limit on insured deposits.

Restricted cash - tenant security deposits - The Partnership requires  security
deposits from  lessees for  the duration  of  the lease  and such  deposits  are
considered restricted  cash.   Deposits are  refunded when  the tenant  vacates,
provided the tenant  has not  damaged its  space and  is current  on its  rental
payments.

Certain reclassifications have been made to  the 1995 information to conform  to
the 1996 presentation.


Note B - Reconciliation of Cash Flows


The following is a reconciliation of the subtotal on the accompanying statements
of cash flows captioned "net cash provided by operating activities" to "net cash
used in operations",  as defined in  the partnership agreement.   However,  "net
cash used in operations" should not  be considered an alternative to net  income
as an indicator of the Partnership's operating performance or to cash flows as a
measure of liquidity.

Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties - continued

The Partnership insures its properties under  a master policy through an  agency
and insurer unaffiliated with  the Corporate General Partner.   An affiliate  of
the Corporate  General  Partner acquired,  in  the acquisition  of  a  business,
certain financial obligations from an insurance agency which was later  acquired
by the agent who  placed the current  year's master policy.   The current  agent
assumed the  financial obligations  to the  affiliate of  the Corporate  General
Partner who receives payments on these  obligations from the agent.  The  amount
of the Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate
of the Corporate  General Partner by  virtue of the  agent's obligations is  not
significant.

Note D - Contingencies

The Corporate General Partner owns 100 Limited Partnership Units ("Units").   On
or about April 26 and 27, 1995, six entities ("Affiliated Purchaser") affiliated
with the Partnership commenced  tender offers for  limited partner interests  in
six limited partnerships, including the Partnership (collectively, the  "Shelter
Properties Partnerships").  On May 27,  1995, the Affiliated Purchaser  acquired
7,985 units of the Partnership pursuant  to the tender offer.   On or about  May
12, 1995,  in  the  United States  District  Court  for the  District  of  South
Carolina, certain  limited  partners  of  the  Shelter  Properties  Partnerships
commenced a lawsuit, on behalf of themselves,  on behalf of a putative class  of
plaintiffs, and  derivatively on  behalf of  the partnerships,  challenging  the
actions taken  by defendants  (including Insignia,  the acquiring  entities  and
certain officers  of  Insignia) in  the  management of  the  Shelter  Properties
Partnerships and in connection with the tender offers and certain other matters.

The  plaintiffs  alleged  that,  among  other   things:    (i)  the   defendants
intentionally mismanaged  the partnerships  and acted  contrary to  the  limited
partners' best  interests by  prolonging the  existence of  the partnerships  in
order to  perpetuate the  revenues  derived by  Insignia  (an affiliate  of  the
Corporate General Partner) and  its affiliates from  the partnerships; (ii)  the
defendants' actions reduced  the demand  for the  partnerships' limited  partner
interests in the limited  resale market by  artificially depressing the  trading
prices for limited partners interests in order to create a favorable environment
for the tender offers; (iii) through  the tender offers, the acquiring  entities
sought to acquire effective  voting control over  the partnerships while  paying
highly inadequate prices; and  (iv) the documents disseminated  to the class  in
connection with the tender offers contained false and misleading statements  and
omissions of material facts concerning such issues as the advantages to  limited
partners of  tendering pursuant  to the  tender offers;  the true  value of  the
interest;  the  true  financial  condition  of  the  partnerships;  the  factors
affecting the likelihood that properties owned by the partnerships will be  sold
or liquidated in the near  future; the liquidity and  true value of the  limited
partner interests;  the reasons  for the  limited secondary  market for  limited
partner interests; and  the true nature  of the market  for the underlying  real
estate assets owned by the Shelter Properties' Partnerships, all in violation of
the federal securities laws.


Note D - Contingencies - continued


On September 27,  1995, the  parties entered into  a stipulation  to settle  the
matter.  The principal terms of the stipulation require supplemental payments to
tendering limited partners aggregating  approximately $6 million  to be paid  by
the Affiliated Purchaser, of which  approximately $722,000 is the  Partnership's
portion; waiver by the Shelter Properties Partnerships' general partners of  any
right to  certain proceeds  from  a sale  or  refinancing of  the  partnerships'
properties; some restrictions on Insignia's ability to vote the limited  partner
interests it acquired; payment of $1.25  million (which amount is divided  among
the various partnerships and acquiring  entities) for plaintiffs' attorney  fees
and expenses in the litigation; and general releases of all the defendants.

On June 24, 1996, after notice  to the class and a  hearing on the fairness  and
adequacy of the notice  and the terms of  settlement, the court orally  approved
the settlement.  The court signed the formal order on July 30, 1996.  No  appeal
was filed within thirty days after the  court entered the formal order, and  the
settlement  became  effective  on  August  30,  1996.  The  Shelter   Properties
Partnerships made the payments to investors in accordance with the settlement in
early September 1996.


Note E - Sale of Marble Hills Apartments

On September  29, 1995,  the  Partnership sold  Marble  Hills Apartments  to  an
unaffiliated party.  The buyer assumed the related mortgage notes payable.   The
total outstanding balance  on the mortgage  notes payable was  $3,344,066.   The
carrying amount of the  property was $4,459,975.   The Partnership received  net
proceeds of  $2,412,138  after  payment of  closing  costs.    This  disposition
resulted in a gain of $1,296,229  recognized during the fourth quarter of  1995.
As of  July  31, 1995,  total  assets of  Marble  Hills were  $4,737,120,  total
liabilities were $3,272,981 and partners' deficit was $1,464,139.  Revenues  and
expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 1995, were $1,018,467 and  $990,518,
respectively, resulting in net income of $27,949.


Note F - Casualty Loss


During the  first quarter  of 1996,  the Partnership  recorded a  casualty  loss
resulting from  a  fire  which  destroyed  three  units  at  Nottingham  Square.
Although the damage was covered by insurance,  the damage resulted in a loss  of
$1,047. The loss  resulted from gross  proceeds received of  $43,141 which  were
less than  the basis  of the  property plus  expenses to  replace the  interiors
damaged.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The Partnership's investment properties consist of six apartment complexes.  The
following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the  nine
months ended July 31, 1996 and 1995:



                                               Average Occupancy
Property                                       1996         1995

Rocky Creek
    Augusta, Georgia                            84%          90%

Carriage House
    Gastonia, North Carolina                    97%          98%

Nottingham Square
    Des Moines, Iowa                            94%          94%

Foxfire/Barcelona
    Durham, North Carolina                      98%          98%

River Reach
    Jacksonville, Florida                       98%          99%

Village Gardens
    Fort Collins, Colorado                      94%          94%


The Corporate  General Partner  attributes the  decrease in  occupancy at  Rocky
Creek to  an  increase  in  the  number  of  tenants  purchasing  homes.    Also
contributing to the decrease in occupancy  was the downsizing of the  employment
base with lay-offs in the region.

The Partnership's  net income  for the  nine  months ended  July 31,  1996,  was
$16,441 and the net loss for three months ended July 31, 1996, was $95,574.  The
Partnership reported net losses of $171,871  and $221,558 for the  corresponding
periods of 1995.  The increase in net income for the nine months ended July  31,
1996, and the decrease in net loss for the three months ended July 31, 1996,  is
primarily due to a decrease in  general and administrative expense, an  increase
in other  income  and  an  increase  in  rental  income  at  the  six  remaining
properties. General and administrative  expense decreased due  to a decrease  in
legal fees  associated  with the  lawsuits  disclosed in  the  Legal  Proceeding
section below, as well  as the decrease in  professional expenses in  connection
with the tender offerings in 1995. Other income increased due to an increase  in
interest income  resulting  from  increased cash  reserves  invested  at  higher
interest rates compared to 1995. Management's aggressiveness in collecting  fees
related to  lease cancellations  at Nottingham  Square also  contributed to  the
increase in other income.

On September  29, 1995,  the  Partnership sold  Marble  Hills Apartments  to  an
unaffiliated third party.  The buyer assumed the related mortgage notes payable.
The total outstanding balance on the mortgage notes payable was $3,344,066.  The
carrying amount of the  property was $4,459,975.   The Partnership received  net
proceeds of  $2,412,138  after  payment of  closing  costs.    This  disposition
resulted in a gain of $1,296,229  recognized during the fourth quarter of  1995.
As of  July  31, 1995,  total  assets of  Marble  Hills were  $4,737,120,  total
liabilities were $3,272,981 and partners' deficit was $1,464,139.  Revenues  and
expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 1995, were $1,018,467 and  $990,518,
respectively, resulting in net income of $27,949.

As a result of the sale of  Marble Hill (discussed above) overall rental  income
and expenses decreased during  1996 as compared to  the corresponding period  in
1995. Rental income for  the remaining properties increased  due to rental  rate
increases during  1996.   Offsetting the  increase in  net income  for the  nine
months ended  July 31,  1996, was  an  increase in  maintenance expense  at  the
remaining properties. Maintenance expense increased at Foxfire/Barcelona due  to
gutter repairs and exterior painting and at Village Gardens due to exterior  and
interior improvements needed to maintain its market share.

During the  first quarter  of 1996,  the Partnership  recorded a  casualty  loss
resulting from  a  fire  which  destroyed  three  units  at  Nottingham  Square.
Although the damage was covered by insurance,  the damage resulted in a loss  of
$1,047, arising from gross proceeds received of $43,141 which were less than the
basis of the property plus expenses to replace the interiors damaged.

As part of the ongoing business  plan of the Partnership, the Corporate  General
Partner monitors  the  rental  market environment  of  each  of  its  investment
properties to  assess  the  feasibility  of  increasing  rents,  maintaining  or
increasing occupancy levels  and protecting  the Partnership  from increases  in
expense.   As part  of this  plan,  the Corporate  General Partner  attempts  to
protect the  Partnership  from  the burden  of  inflation-related  increases  in
expenses by increasing  rents and maintaining  a high  overall occupancy  level.
However, due  to changing  market conditions,  which can  result in  the use  of
rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market  conditions,
there is no guarantee that the Corporate General Partner will be able to sustain
such a plan.

At July  31, 1996,  the Partnership  reported  unrestricted cash  of  $2,881,631
versus $1,289,172 for the same period of  1995.  Net cash provided by  operating
activities decreased due to  an increase in  other assets due  to a Federal  tax
deposit required under Section 7519 of the Internal Revenue Code for future  tax
liabilities  which  may  be  incurred  from  the  income  of  the  Partnership's
investment properties.  The decrease in  accounts payable, which was due to  the
timing of payments to vendors, also contributed to the decrease in cash provided
by operating activities.  Net cash used in investing activities decreased due to
insurance proceeds received in 1996 as a result of the fire discussed above  and
a decrease in net cash deposited to restricted escrows as the escrows are  fully
funded.  Offsetting the decrease in net cash used in investing activities was an
increase in property improvements and replacements primarily due to replacements
of carpet,  appliances, and  HVAC  units at  Nottingham  Square to  improve  and
maintain current  occupancy  levels.   Net  cash used  in  financing  activities
increased due to a distribution made to  partners during the  nine months  ended
July 31, 1996.

The Partnership has no  material capital programs scheduled  to be performed  in
1996, although  certain routine  capital expenditures  and maintenance  expenses
have been budgeted.  These capital expenditures and maintenance expenses will be
incurred only  if cash  is available  from operations  or is  received from  the
capital reserve account.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets  to meet future liquidity and  capital
expenditure  requirements  is   directly  related  to   the  level  of   capital
expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical assets
and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are currently thought
to be  sufficient for  any near-term  needs of  the Partnership.   The  mortgage
indebtedness of $27,509,847, net of discount, is amortized over 257 months  with
balloon payments of  $23,007,741 due  on November 15,  2002, at  which time  the
properties will either be refinanced or  sold.  No cash distributions were  paid
in 1995.  Distributions  of  the proceeds  from  the  sale of  Marble  Hills  of
$1,000,000 were paid in  the first quarter of  1996.  Future cash  distributions
will depend on the  levels of net cash  generated from operations,  refinancing,
property sales and cash reserves.



                    PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


The Corporate General Partner owns 100 Limited Partnership Units ("Units").   On
or about April 26 and 27, 1995, six entities ("Affiliated Purchaser") affiliated
with the Partnership commenced  tender offers for  limited partner interests  in
six limited partnerships, including the Partnership (collectively, the  "Shelter
Properties Partnerships").  On May 27,  1995, the Affiliated Purchaser  acquired
7,985 units of the Partnership pursuant  to the tender offer.   On or about  May
12, 1995,  in  the  United States  District  Court  for the  District  of  South
Carolina, certain  limited  partners  of  the  Shelter  Properties  Partnerships
commenced a lawsuit, on behalf of themselves,  on behalf of a putative class  of
plaintiffs, and  derivatively on  behalf of  the partnerships,  challenging  the
actions taken  by defendants  (including Insignia,  the acquiring  entities  and
certain officers  of  Insignia) in  the  management of  the  Shelter  Properties
Partnerships and in connection with the tender offers and certain other matters.

The  plaintiffs  alleged  that,  among  other   things:    (i)  the   defendants
intentionally mismanaged  the partnerships  and acted  contrary to  the  limited
partners' best  interests by  prolonging the  existence of  the partnerships  in
order to  perpetuate the  revenues  derived by  Insignia  (an affiliate  of  the
Corporate General Partner) and  its affiliates from  the partnerships; (ii)  the
defendants' actions reduced  the demand  for the  partnerships' limited  partner
interests in the limited  resale market by  artificially depressing the  trading
prices for limited partners interests in order to create a favorable environment
for the tender offers; (iii) through  the tender offers, the acquiring  entities
sought to acquire effective  voting control over  the partnerships while  paying
highly inadequate prices; and  (iv) the documents disseminated  to the class  in
connection with the tender offers contained false and misleading statements  and
omissions of material facts concerning such issues as the advantages to  limited
partners of  tendering pursuant  to the  tender offers,  the true  value of  the
interest,  the  true  financial  condition  of  the  partnerships,  the  factors
affecting the likelihood that properties owned by the partnerships will be  sold
or liquidated in the near  future, the liquidity and  true value of the  limited
partner interests,  the reasons  for the  limited secondary  market for  limited
partner interests, and  the true nature  of the market  for the underlying  real
estate assets owned by the Shelter Properties Partnerships, all in violation  of
the federal securities laws.

On September 27,  1995, the  parties entered into  a stipulation  to settle  the
matter.  The principal terms of the stipulation require supplemental payments to
tendering limited partners aggregating  approximately $6 million  to be paid  by
the Affiliated Purchaser, of which  approximately $722,000 is the  Partnership's
portion; waiver by the Shelter Properties Partnerships' general partners of  any
right to  certain proceeds  from  a sale  or  refinancing of  the  partnerships'
properties; some restrictions on Insignia's ability to vote the limited  partner
interests it acquired; payment of $1.25  million (which amount is divided  among
the various partnerships and acquiring  entities) for plaintiffs' attorney  fees
and expenses in the litigation; and general releases of all the defendants.

On June 24, 1996, after notice  to the class and a  hearing on the fairness  and
adequacy of the notice  and the terms of  settlement, the court orally  approved
the settlement.  The court signed the formal order on July 30, 1996.  No  appeal
was filed within thirty days after the  court entered the formal order, and  the
settlement  became  effective  on  August  30,  1996.  The  Shelter   Properties
Partnerships made the payments to investors in accordance with the settlement in
early September 1996.
