                                     Part I

Item 1 - Business

     Redwood  Mortgage  Investors VI is a California  limited  partnership  (the
Partnership),  of which D.  Russell  Burwell,  Michael  R.  Burwell  and Gymno
Corporation, a California corporation,  are the General Partners. The address of
the General  Partners is 650 El Camino Real,  Suite G, Redwood City,  California
94063.  The  Partnerships  primary purpose is to invest its capital in Mortgage
Investments secured by Northern California properties.  Mortgage Investments are
arranged  and  serviced  by  Redwood  Home Loan Co,  dba  Redwood  Mortgage,  an
affiliate of the General  Partners.  The  Partnership's  objectives  are to make
investments,  as referred to above, which will: (i) provide the maximum possible
cash  returns  which  Limited  Partners  may elect to (a)  receive  as  monthly,
quarterly or annual cash  distributions  or (b) have earnings  credited to their
capital accounts and used to invest in Partnership activities; and (ii) preserve
and protect the Partnerships  capital.  The  Partnerships  general business is
more fully  described  under the section  entitled  Investment  Objectives  and
Criteria,  pages  23-26  of  the  Prospectus,  a part  of the  above-referenced
Registration Statement, which is incorporated by reference.

     The Partnership was formed in September, 1987 and immediately began issuing
units. It began investing in Mortgage Investments in October,  1987. At December
31,  1996,  the  Partnership  had a balance of  Mortgage  Investments  totalling
$9,313,924 with interest rates thereon ranging from 4.00% to 14.75%.

     Currently  First Trust Deeds  comprise  52.92% of the  Mortgage  Investment
portfolio.  Second Mortgage Trust Deeds comprise  40.04% of Mortgage  Investment
portfolio,  third  Mortgage  Trust Deeds have 4.36% and 4th Mortgage Trust Deeds
have 2.68% of the Mortgage Investment portfolio.  Owner-occupied homes, combined
with  non-owner  occupied  homes,  total  25.95%  of the  Mortgage  Investments.
Mortgage  Investments  to  apartments  make  up  8.44%  of  the  total  Mortgage
Investments portfolio. Commercial Mortgage Investment origination increased from
last year, now comprising  65.61% of the  portfolio,  an increase of 7.68%.  The
past year brought us many outstanding low loan to value lending opportunities in
the  commercial  segment of the  market.  The major  concentration  of  Mortgage
Investments, comprising of 81.17% of the total loans, are in six counties of the
Bay Area.  The County of  Stanislaus  makes up 7.30% of the Mortgage  Investment
portfolio  and the  balance,  as  stated  on page  five of this  report,  are in
primarily Northern  California.  Currently Mortgage Investment size is averaging
$143,291  per  Mortgage  Investment.   Some  of  the  Mortgage  Investments  are
fractionalized between affiliated  partnerships with objectives similar to those
of the Partnership to further reduce risk.  Average equity per loan  transaction
stood  at  34.09%.  A 40%  equity  average  on  loan  origination  is  generally
considered very  conservative.  Generally,  the more equity, the more protection
for the lender.  The  Partnerships  Mortgage  Investment  portfolio  is in good
condition  with only three  properties in foreclosure as of the end of December,
1996, totalling $549,356.

Item 3 - Legal Proceedings

     In the normal course of business,  the  Partnership  may become involved in
various types of legal  proceedings  such as  assignments  of rents,  bankruptcy
proceedings,   appointments   of   receivers,   unlawful   detainers,   judicial
foreclosures,   etc.,  to  enforce  the  provisions  of  the  deeds.  Management
anticipates  that the  ultimate  outcome of these legal  matters will not have a
material  adverse  effect on the net assets of the  Partnership  in light of the
Partnership's  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts.  As of the date  hereof,  the
Partnership is not involved in any legal proceedings other than those that would
be considered part of the normal course of business.

Item 4 - Submission of matters to vote of Security Holders (Partners).

Item 5 - Market for the Registrants Partners Capital and Related Matters.

     120,000  units  at $100  each  (minimum  20  units)  were  offered  through

a best efforts  basis (as  indicated in Part I item 1). All units have been sold
only in California. There is no established public trading market for the units.

monthly,  quarterly  or  annual  basis  while the  others  are  reinvesting  and
compounding the earnings.

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

     On December 31, 1996, the Partnerships net capital totalled $10,516,867.

     The Partnership began funding Mortgage  Investments in October 1987, and as
of  December  31,  1996  had  distributed   income  at  an  average   annualized
(compounded) yield of 7.95%.  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 next 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%,  (9.25%).  Current
borrowings of $1,530,511  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 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.

     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 nineteen 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 December  31,  1996,
there were two 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.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT


THE PARTNERS
REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI

     We have audited the financial  statements and related  schedules of REDWOOD
MORTGAGE  INVESTORS VI (A California  Limited  Partnership)  listed in Item 8 on
form 10-K  including  balance  sheets as of  December  31, 1996 and 1995 and the
statements of income,  changes in partners capital and cash flows for the three
years ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Partnerships management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material  respects,  the financial position of REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS
VI as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the three years ended  December 31, 1996 in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  Further, it is our opinion that the schedules
referred to above present fairly the information set forth therein in compliance
with the  applicable  accounting  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.

                          REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1996

     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
December 31, 1996:

       Amount loaned during 1987,1988 and 1989                         $623,255
       Less:
         Cash repayments                                    $459,462
         Allocation of early withdrawal penalties             41,944    501,406
                                                          =========== ----------

       Balance December 31, 1996                                       $121,849
                                                                     ===========



     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

     Property  acquired  through  foreclosure  will be held for  prompt  sale to
return the funds to the loan 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.

     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 Loan 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 loan 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 loan
service  fees of  $123,758,  in 1995  $50,741 of the total loan  service fees of
$92,797  and in 1996,  $41,779 of the total loan  service  fees of $86,344  were
waived by the Redwood Mortgage.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1996

     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 $0.00 in 1995,  and  $41,802 to $0.00 in 1996,  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, and 1996,  clerical  costs  totaling  $0.00,
$23,341, and $31,838  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.

     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
December 31,  1996.  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.

                          REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VI
                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1996

     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  Partnerships  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
$496,040 has been  invested with that of two other  Partnerships  (total cost to
date, primarily land, of $1,021,798) 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 $2,041,011 and $1,530,511 at December 31, 1995 and
1996, respectively,  and the interest rate at December 31, 1996 was 9.25% (8.25%
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.
