                          REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         DECEMBER 31, 1996 (audited) and
                           MARCH 31, 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. (RHL 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
March 31, 1997:

Amount loaned during 1987,1988 and 1989                              $623,255
  Less:
  Cash repayments                                   $475,044
  Allocation of early withdrawal penalties            43,970          519,014
                                                   ===========      -----------

  Balance December 31, 1996                                          $104,241
                                                                    ===========



     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
Revenues and expenses are accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting.

     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 over a five year period.

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

     Property  acquired  through  foreclosure  will be held for  prompt  sale to
return the funds to the Mortgage Investment portfolio. Such property is recorded
at cost which includes the principal  balance of the former Mortgage  Investment
made by the Partnership plus accrued interest,  payments made to keep the senior
loans current, costs of obtaining title and possession, less rental income or at
estimated net realizable value, if less. The difference between such costs and
estimated  net  realizable  value is deducted  from cost in the Balance Sheet to
arrive at the carrying value of such property.

     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 and the valuation of real estate acquired
through  foreclosure.  Actual  results  could  differ  significantly  from these
estimates.

     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 to provide for  unrecoverable
accounts receivable.

     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 limited partner income is
allocated  each  month  based  on  the  limited  partners  pro  rata  share  of
partnership  capital.  Because  the net income  percentage  varies from month to
month,  amounts per $1,000 will vary for those  individuals who make or withdraw
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.

     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.

     The interim financial statements,  dated March 31, 1997, are unaudited, but
in the opinion of the General  Partners all  adjustments  (consisting  solely of
normal adjustments) necessary to a fair presentation of the financial statements
at March 31, 1997 have been made.

     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 Mortgage  Investments 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.

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

     B. Mortgage  Servicing  Fees Monthly  mortgage  servicing  fees are paid to
Redwood Mortgage up to 1/8 of 1% (1.5% annual) of the unpaid principal,  or such
lesser amount as is reasonable  and customary in the  geographic  area where the
property securing the Mortgage Investment is located (currently at 1/12 of 1% or
1% annual).  The amount  remitted to the partnership and recorded as interest on
Mortgage Investments is net of such fees. In 1994 $123,758 of the total mortgage
servicing fees of $123,758, in 1995 $50,741 of the total mortgage servicing fees
of $92,797, in 1996, $41,779 of the total mortgage servicing fees of $86,344 and
for the three  months  through  March  31,  1997,  $3,577 of the total  mortgage
servicing fee of $12,824 were waived by Redwood Mortgage.

     C. Asset Management Fee Pursuant to the partnership agreement,  the General
Partners  receive  a  monthly  fee  for  managing  the  Partnerships   Mortgage
Investment  portfolio and  operations  equal to 1/32 of 1% (3/8 of 1% annual) of
the net asset  value.  Such fees were  reduced from $45,974 to $8,942 in 1994,
$44,336  to $0 in 1995,  $41,802  to $0 in 1996,  and $9,893 to $0 for the three
months through March 31, 1997,  with the difference  being waived by the General
Partners.

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

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

     F.  Operating  Expenses The General  Partners or their  affiliate  (Redwood
Mortgage) are reimbursed by the Partnership for all operating  expenses actually
incurred by them on behalf of the  Partnership,  including  without  limitation,
out-of-pocket general and administration expenses of the Partnership, accounting
and audit fees,  legal fees and expenses,  postage and preparation of reports to
Limited  Partners.  In 1994, 1995,  1996, and for the current quarter,  clerical
costs totaling $0.00, $23,341, $31,838 and $7,341 respectively,  were reimbursed
to Redwood  Mortgage and are included in expenses in the  Statements  of Income.
The 1994 expenses were absorbed by the Redwood Mortgage.

     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.

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

     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
March 31,  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
$540,735 has been  invested with that of two other  Partnerships  (total cost to
date, primarily land, of $1,113,870) in a partnership which is in the process of
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 $1,475,011 at December 31, 1996 and
March 31, 1997, respectively,  and the interest rate at March 31, 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 $251,531.

     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.

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

         On March 31, 1997, the Partnerships net capital totalled $10,268,242.

     The Partnership began funding Mortgage  Investments in October 1987, and as
of March 31, 1997 had distributed income at an average  annualized  (compounded)
yield of 7.89%.  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 $1,475,011  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 March 31, 1997,  there
were three 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
was strong in 1996,  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.
