                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 (audited)
                          and JUNE 30, 1997 (unaudited)

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

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

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

     The following  reflects  transactions in the Formation Loan account through
June 30, 1997:

Amount loaned during 1987,1988 and 1989                               $623,255
   Less:
   Cash repayments                                   $488,600
   Allocation of early withdrawal penalties            46,996          535,596
                                                    ===========      -----------

       Balance December 31, 1996                                       $87,659
                                                                     ===========

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

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Accrual Basis

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

                          REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 (audited)
                          and JUNE 30, 1997 (unaudited)

B. Management Estimates

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

C. Mortgage Investments, Secured by Deeds of Trust

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

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

     At June 30, 1997,  December 31, 1996,  and 1995,  reductions in the cost of
loans categorized as impaired by the Partnership  totalled $13,006,  $13,006 and
$45,933,  respectively.  The  reduction  in  stated  value was  accomplished  by
increasing the allowances for doubtful accounts.

     As presented in Note 10 to the  financial  statements  as of June 30, 1997,
the average  mortgage  investment to appraised value of security at the time the
loans  were  consummated  was  66.27%.  When a loan  is  valued  for  impairment
purposes, an updating is made in the valuation of collateral security.  However,
such a low loan to value ratio tends to minimize reductions for impairment.

D. Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

E. Real Estate Owned, Held for Sale

     Real estate owned,  held for sale,  includes real estate  acquired  through
foreclosure  and is  stated  at the  lower  of the  recorded  investment  in the
property,  net of any senior  indebtedness,  or at the propertys estimated fair
value, less estimated costs to sell.

     The following  schedule  reflects the costs of real estate acquired through
foreclosure and the recorded reductions to estimated fair values, less estimated
costs to sell as of June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996:

                                              June 30,             December 31,

Cost of properties                            $1,414,945            $1,743,382
Reduction in value                               340,011               302,375
                                        ----------------        --------------- 
                                              
Fair value reflected in financial statements  $1,074,934            $1,441,007
                                          ==============         ==============

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

F. Investment in Partnership (see note 5)

     The  Partnership  accounts  for  its  investment  in a  partnership  as  an
investment  in real estate,  which is at the lower of costs or fair value,  less
estimated  costs to sell. At June 30, 1997,  cost is  considered  less than fair
value and the investment is stated at cost in the financial statements.

G. Income Taxes

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

H. Organization and Syndication Costs

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

I. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

     Mortgage  Investments and the related accrued  interest,  fees and advances
are  analyzed  on a  continuous  basis  for  recoverability.  Delinquencies  are
identified and followed as part of the Mortgage  Investment  system. A provision
is made for doubtful  accounts to adjust the allowance for doubtful  accounts to
an amount  considered by management  to be adequate  with due  consideration  to
collateral value to provide for  unrecoverable  accounts  receivable,  including
impaired  mortgage  investments,   unspecified  mortgage  investments,   accrued
interest and advances on mortgage  investments,  and other  accounts  receivable
(unsecured).  The composition of the allowance for doubtful  accounts as of June
30, 1997, and December 31, 1996 were as follows:

                                            June 30,             December 31,

J. Net Income Per $1,000 Invested

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

K. Reclassifications

     Certain  reclassifications not affecting net income have been made to prior
year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

     NOTE 3 - GENERAL PARTNERS AND RELATED PARTIES The following are commissions
and/or fees which are paid to the General Partners and/or related parties.

     A.  Mortgage  Brokerage  Commissions  Mortgage  brokerage  commissions  for
services in connection with the review, selection,  evaluation,  negotiation and
extension of the Mortgage  Investments  were limited up to 12% of the  principal
amount of the loans  through the period  ending 6 months  after the  termination
date of the offering.  Thereafter,  commissions  are limited to an amount not to
exceed 4% of the total Partnership assets per year. Such commissions are paid by
the borrowers, thus, not an expense of the Partnership.

     B. Mortgage  Servicing  Fees Monthly  mortgage  servicing  fees are paid to
Redwood  Mortgage of up to 1/8 of 1% (1.5% annual) of the unpaid  principal,  or
such lesser amount as is reasonable and customary in the  geographic  area where
the property  securing the Mortgage  Investment is located.  Mortgage  servicing
fees of $16,520,  $44,565 and $42,056 were  incurred  for the six months  period

months period ended June 30, 1997, and for years 1996, and 1995, respectively.

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

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

     F.  Operating  Expenses The General  Partners or their  affiliate  (Redwood
Mortgage) are reimbursed by the Partnership for all operating  expenses actually
incurred by them on behalf of the  Partnership,  including  without  limitation,
out-of-pocket general and administration expenses of the Partnership, accounting
and audit fees,  legal fees and expenses,  postage and preparation of reports to
Limited  Partners.  Such  costs were  reimbursed  to  Redwood  Mortgage  and are
included in expenses in the Statements of Income.

NOTE 4 OTHER PARTNERSHIP PROVISIONS

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

     B.  Election to Receive  Monthly,  Quarterly or Annual  Distributions  Upon
subscriptions,  investors elected either to receive monthly, quarterly or annual
distributions of earnings  allocations,  or to allow earnings to compound for at
least a period of 5 years.

     C. Profits and Losses  Profits and losses are  allocated  monthly among the
Limited  Partners  according to their  respective  capital  accounts after 1% is
allocated to the General Partners.

     D. Withdrawal  From  Partnership A Limited Partner had no right to withdraw
from the Partnership or to obtain the return of his capital account for at least
five years after such units are purchased which in all instances had occurred by
June 30, 1997. After that time, at the election of the Partner, capital accounts
can be returned over a five year period in 20 equal  quarterly  installments  or
such longer period as is requested.

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

     The Partnership will not establish a reserve from which to fund withdrawals
and,  accordingly,  the  Partnership's  capacity  to return a Limited  Partners
capital  account is restricted to the  availability  of  Partnership  cash flow.
Furthermore,  no more than 20% of the total Limited  Partners  capital accounts
outstanding at the beginning of any year shall be liquidated during any calendar
year.

     NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT  IN  PARTNERSHIP.  The  Partnerships  interest in land
acquired  through  foreclosure,  located in East Palo Alto with costs  totalling
$568,559 has been  invested with that of two other  Partnerships  (total cost to
date, primarily land, of $1,171,185) in a partnership which is in the process of
securing  permits etc. to constructing  approximately 72 single family homes for
sale. Redwood Mortgage Investors V, VI, and VII have first priority on return of
investment plus interest thereon, in addition to a share of profits realized.

     NOTE 6 - NOTE PAYABLE BANK - LINE OF CREDIT The Partnership has a bank line
of credit  secured by its Mortgage  Investment  portfolio up to $2,500,000 at 1%
over prime.  The balances were  $1,530,511  and $1,589,011 at December 31, 1996,
and June 30,  1997,  respectively,  and the  interest  rate at June 30, 1997 was
9.50% (8.50% prime + 1%).

     NOTE 7 - LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS The Partnership is not a defendant in any legal
actions.  However,  legal actions against  borrowers and other involved  parties
have been initiated by the Partnership to help assure payments against unsecured
accounts receivable totaling $252,398.

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

     In 1996,  approximately  73% of taxable  income was allocated to tax exempt
organizations i.e.,  retirement plans. Such plans do not have to file income tax
returns unless their unrelated  business  income exceeds  $1,000.  Applicable
amounts become taxable when distribution is made to participants.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The following  methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of financial instruments:

     (a) Cash and Cash  Equivalents - The carrying amount equals fair value. All
amounts, including interest bearing, are subject to immediate withdrawal.

     (b) The  Carrying  Value  of  Mortgage  Investments  - (see  note 2 (c)) is
$9,040,797.  The June 30, 1997 fair value of these  investments of $8,950,598 is
estimated  based upon projected cash flows  discounted at the estimated  current
interest rates at which similar loans would be made.  The  applicable  amount of
the allowance  for doubtful  accounts  along with accrued  interest and advances
related  thereto  should also be considered in evaluating  the fair value versus
the carrying value.

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

         On June 30, 1997, the Partnerships net capital totalled $9,980,357.

     The Partnership began funding Mortgage  Investments in October 1987, and as
of June 30, 1997 had distributed  income at an average  annualized  (compounded)
yield of 7.83%.  Current  earnings are lower than those prevalent at the outset,
primarily because interest rates generally have dropped dramatically since 1988.
The  Partnership  does not  anticipate  a  significant  increase  or decrease in
mortgage rates in the  foreseeable  future and expects the  prevailing  interest
rates to fluctuate in a narrow range in the near future.  Management expects the
yield, net of provision for losses, to increase slightly in 1997.

     Currently,  mortgage  interest rates are lower than those  prevalent at the
inception of the Partnership.  New Mortgage  Investments are being originated at
these lower  interest  rates.  The result is a reduction  of the average  return
across the entire Mortgage Investment portfolio held by the Partnership.  In the
future, interest rates likely will change from their current levels. The General
Partners  cannot at this time predict at what levels  interest  rates will be in
the future. The General Partners believe the rates charged by the Partnership to
its borrowers will not change  significantly in the immediate future. Based upon
the rates  payable in connection  with the existing  Mortgage  Investments,  the
current and anticipated  interest rates to be charged by the  Partnerships,  and
current  reserve   requirements,   the  General  Partners  anticipate  that  the
annualized  yield this year will range only  slightly  higher  from its  current
rate.

     Each year,  the  Partnership  negotiates a line of credit with a commercial
bank which is secured by its Mortgage Investment  portfolio.  Currently,  it has
the  capacity  to borrow up to  $2,500,000  at Prime plus 1%,  (9.50%).  Current
borrowings of $1,589,011  have the effect of leveraging the portfolio about 15%.
This added  source of funds will help in  maximizing  the  Partnership  yield by
allowing  the  Partnership  to  minimize  the  amount  of funds  in lower  yield
investment  accounts when  appropriate  Mortgage  Investments  are not currently
available  and because the Mortgage  Investments  made by the  Partnership  bear
interest at a rate in excess of the rate payable to the bank which  extended the
line of credit,  allows the  Partnership to make the spread between the Mortgage
Investment interest rate and the line of credit interest rate.

     The Partnership's operating results and delinquencies are within the normal
range of the  General  Partners  expectations,  based upon their  experience  in
managing  similar  Partnerships  over the last twenty years.  Foreclosures are a
normal aspect of partnership operations and the General Partners anticipate that
they will not have a material  effect on liquidity.  As of June 30, 1997,  there
were five  properties in foreclosure.  Cash is continually  being generated from
interest earnings, late charges, prepayment penalties, amortization of notes and
pay-off of notes.  Currently,  this  amount  exceeds  Partnership  expenses  and
earnings and principal payout requirements. As Mortgage Investment opportunities
become  available,  excess cash and available funds are invested in new Mortgage
Investments.

     The General Partners  regularly review the Mortgage  Investment  portfolio,
examining the status of delinquencies,  the underlying collateral securing these
Mortgage  Investments,  REO expenses,  sales activities,  and borrowers payment
records and other data relating to the Mortgage  Investment  portfolio.  Data on
the local real estate market, and on the national and local economy are studied.
Based upon this  information  and more,  Mortgage  Investment  loss reserves and
allowance  for doubtful  accounts are  increased  or  decreased.  Because of the
number of variables  involved,  the magnitude of possible swings and the General
Partners  inability to control many of these factors,  actual results may and do
sometimes differ significantly from estimates made by the General Partners.

     The Northern  California  recession reached bottom in 1993. Since then, the
California  economy  has  been  improving,   slowly  at  first,  but  now,  more
vigorously.  A wide variety of indicators suggest that the economy in California
is strong in 1997,  and the State is well -  positioned  for fast  growth.  This
improvement is reflective in increasing property values, in job growth, personal
income growth,  etc., which should  translate into more loan activity.  Which of
course, is healthy for our lending activity.
