                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         DECEMBER 31, 1998 (audited) AND
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (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 Mortgage Corp., an affiliate of the General  Partners.  The offering was
closed with contributed capital totalling $9,781,366.

     Each  month's   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 by Redwood
Mortgage Corp., an affiliate of the General  Partners that arranges and services
the Mortgage  Investments.  To finance the sales  commissions,  the  Partnership
loaned to Redwood  Mortgage Corp.  $623,255 (the  "Formation  Loan") relating to
contributed  capital of $9,781,366.  The Formation  Loan was unsecured,  and was
repaid, without interest, over ten years, commencing December 31, 1989. The last
payment was made during 1998.

     The following  reflects  transactions in the Formation Loan account through
December 31, 1998:


       Amount loaned during 1987,1988 and 1989                          $623,255
       Less:
         Cash repayments                                  $566,586
         Allocation of early withdrawal penalties           56,669      $623,255
                                                      ============   ===========
       Balance December 31, 1998                                              $0
                                                                     ===========

     The Formation Loan,  which was a receivable from Redwood Mortgage Corp., an
affiliate of the General Partners',  was deducted from Limited Partners' capital
in the balance sheet. As amounts were collected from Redwood Mortgage Corp., the
deduction from capital was reduced. As of December 31, 1998, there was no longer
a deduction.

     B. Other  Organizational and Offering Expenses  Organizational and offering
expenses,  other than sales commissions,  but including printing costs, attorney
and accountant  fees,  and other costs,  were paid by the  Partnership  from the
offering  proceeds  and  totalled  $360,885  or  3.69%  of  the  gross  proceeds
contributed by the Partners.  Such costs have been fully amortized and allocated
to 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 Mortgage  Investment is  categorized  as impaired,  interest is no longer
accrued thereon.

                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         DECEMBER 31, 1998 (audited) AND
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (unaudited)

B. Management Estimates

     In  preparing  the  financial  statements,  management  is required to make
estimates based on the information  available that affects 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
essentially the valuation method previously used on impaired loans.

     At September 30, 1999,  December 31, 1998 and 1997,  reductions in the cost
of Mortgage  Investments  categorized  as impaired by the  Partnership  totalled
$84,736,  $84,736  and $0,  respectively.  The  reduction  in  stated  value was
accomplished by increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts.

     As presented in Note 10 to the  financial  statements  as of September  30,
1999, the average mortgage investment to appraised value of security at the time
the loans were  consummated  was  68.38%.  When a loan is valued for  impairment
purposes, an updating is made in the valuation of collateral security.  However,
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 property's estimated fair
value, less estimated costs to sell.

     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
Partnership's  financial position because the methods indicated were essentially
those previously used by the Partnership.

F. Investment in Partnership (see note 5)


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, other mortgage investments,  accrued interest and
advances on Mortgage Investments, and other accounts receivable (unsecured). The
composition  of the  allowance  for doubtful  accounts as of September 30, 1999,
December 31, 1998 and 1997 was as follows:

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 selected other options.  However,  the net income per $1,000 average
invested  has  approximated  those  reflected  for those whose  investments  and
options have remained constant.

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.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 1999, the
commissions  totalled  $22,277  and for the  years  ended  1998  and  1997,  the
commissions were $36,700 and $10,000, respectively.

B. Mortgage Servicing Fees

     Redwood Mortgage Corp.  receives  monthly mortgage  servicing fees 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 $40,804, $70,630, and
$39,918,  were incurred for nine months ended  September 30, 1999, and for years
1998 and 1997.

                         SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (unaudited)

C. Asset Management Fee

     The General  Partners are  authorized to receive  monthly fees for managing
the Partnership's  Mortgage Investment portfolio and operations of up to 1/32 of
1% (3/8 of 1%  annually).  Management  fees  incurred  for the nine months ended
September  30,  1999,  and for years 1998 and 1997 were  $8,043,  $6,640 and $0,
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  Corp.) 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,  including  accounting,
legal fees and expenses, postage and preparation of reports to Limited Partners.
In 1997,  1998,  and the nine month period ended  September  30, 1999,  clerical
costs totalling  $27,786 $24,440 and $16,305,  respectively,  were reimbursed to
Redwood Mortgage Corp. 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 subscription,  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 were purchased, which in all instances had occurred by September 30, 1999.
After that time, at the election of the Limited Partner, capital accounts can be
liquidated  over a five year period in 20 equal  quarterly  installments or such
longer period as is requested.

                         SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (unaudited)

     Notwithstanding  the  above,  in order  to  provide  a  certain  degree  of
liquidity to the Limited Partners,  the General Partners may liquidate a Limited
Partner's 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,  and the
formation loan was paid in 1998, the early  withdrawal  penalties  gained in the
future will be credited to income for the period received.

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

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP

     The  Partnership's  interest in land  located in East Palo Alto,  CA.,  was
acquired through foreclosure.  The Partnership's interest was invested with that
of two other  Partnerships.  The Partnerships had been attempting to develop the
property into single family residences.  Significant  community  resistance,  as
well as environmental  and fish and wildlife concerns affected efforts to obtain
the required  approvals.  The  Partnership,  in resolving  disputes  which arose
during the course of the Partnerships  attempt to obtain entitlements to develop
the property,  entered into agreements on May 8, 1998 with  Rhone-Poulanc,  Inc.
These agreements,  among other things,  restrict the property to non-residential
uses, provide for appropriate indemnifications,  and include other consideration
including the payment of cash. The Partnership  still retains  liability for the
remediation of pesticide contamination affecting the property.  Investigation of
remediation  options are ongoing.  At this time management does not believe that
remediation of the pesticide contaminants will have a material adverse effect on
the  financial  condition  of the  Partnership.  As of September  30, 1999,  the
Partnership had received $131,376 in excess of its costs.

NOTE 6 - NOTE PAYABLE BANK - LINE OF CREDIT

     The  Partnership  had a  bank  line  of  credit  secured  by  its  Mortgage
Investment  portfolio  up to  $2,000,000  at 1% over prime.  The  balances  were
$899,011, $390,000 and $0 at December 31, 1997 and 1998, and September 30, 1999,
respectively, and the interest rate at September 30, 1999 was 9.25% (8.25% prime
+ 1%).  Commencing  January 1, 1999, the  Partnership  had reduced its borrowing
limit to $1,000,000  with the same  conditions as previously  stipulated.  As of
September 30, 1999, the  Partnership  was current in its interest  payment.  The
line of credit expires December 31, 1999.

NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Legal  actions  against  borrowers  and other  involved  parties  have been
initiated by the  Partnership to recover  payments  against  unsecured  accounts
receivable  totaling  $23,776.  The  Partnership,  along with  numerous  others,
including a developer,  a contractor and other lenders,  is named as a defendant
in a lawsuit  involving the  Partnership's  attempt to recover its investment in
real estate acquired through foreclosure.

     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.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

     The following reflects a reconciliation from net assets (Partners' Capital)
reflected in the financial statements to the tax basis of those net assets:

     In 1998,  approximately  71% 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
$7,003,801. The September 30, 1999 fair value of these investments of $7,069,846
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.

     The  scheduled   maturities   for  1999  include   $2,160,836  in  Mortgage
Investments  which are past  maturity at September  30, 1999.  $816,898 of those
Mortgage Investments were categorized as delinquent over 90 days.

     Twelve Mortgage  Investments  with principal  outstanding of $3,183,051 had
interest payments overdue in excess of 90 days.

     The cash  balance at  September  30, 1999 of $374,135 was in two banks with
interest  bearing  balances  totalling  $350,213.  The  balances  exceeded  FDIC
insurance  limits (up to $100,000  per bank) by $174,135.  When  deposits in the
Partnerships bank accounts increase significantly beyond the insured limit, the
funds are either placed in new Mortgage Investments or used to pay down the line
of credit balance.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     On September 2, 1989,  the  Partnership  had sold  97,725.94  Units and its
contributed  capital totalled  $9,772,594 of the approved  $12,000,000 issue, in
Units of $100  each.  As of that  date the  offering  was  formally  closed.  On
September 30, 1999, the Partnership's net capital totalled $8,239,984.

Partnership Mortgage Investments outstanding were:
                                                                     9 months
                                                                      through
                        Dec 31, 1996   Dec 31, 1997  Dec 31, 1998  Sept 30, 1999
                        ------------   ------------  ------------  -------------
Mortgage Investments
Outstanding               $9,313,924     $8,104,984    $7,969,735     $7,003,801

     The  decrease  in  Mortgage  Investments  outstanding  of  $2,310,123  from
December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1999,  was due  primarily to the  Partnership
utilizing   Mortgage   Investment   payoffs  to  meet  Limited  Partner  capital
liquidations and line of credit pay-down.  During the years 1996, 1997, 1998 and
nine  months  through  September  30,  1999,   Mortgage   Investment   principal
collections exceeded Limited Partner liquidations.

     Currently,  general mortgage  interest rates are lower than those prevalent
at the inception of the Partnership. New Mortgage Investments will be originated
at these lower interest rates. The result is to reduce 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.  Although the rates charged by the Partnership are influenced by the
level of interest  rates in the market,  the General  Partners do not anticipate
that rates charged by the Partnership to its borrowers will change significantly
from the beginning of 1999 over the next 12 months. As of September 30, 1999 the
Partnership's  Real Estate  Owned  account  and the  Investment  in  Partnership
account have been reduced to a $8,941  balance.  These  accounts had balances of
$169,922,  $1,017,460  and $ 1,937,047 as of December  31, 1998,  1997 and 1996,
respectively.  The  conversion  of  these  non-earning  assets  will  allow  the
Partnership to produce current income from  previously non earning  assets.  The
overall effect of these developments will allow the Partnership's yield to rise.

     Each year,  the  Partnership  negotiates a line of credit with a commercial
bank which is secured by its  Mortgage  Investment  portfolio.  The  outstanding
balance of the bank line of credit was $1,530,511, $899,011, $390,000 and $0 for
the years ended December 1996, 1997, 1998 and nine months through  September 30,
1999, respectively. The interest rate on the bank line of credit has remained at
Prime plus one percent since inception.  For the nine months ended September 30,
1999 and  years  ended  December  31,  1998,  1997 and 1996 ,  interest  on Note
Payable-Bank  was  $14,713,  $43,170,  $133,577and  $158,175  respectively.  The
primary  reason for this decrease was that the  Partnership  had a lower overall
credit  facility  utilization  from 1995 to 1996 and from 1996 to September  30,
1999.  As of September  30, 1999,  the  Partnershi's  borrowing  was $0 and the
interest  rate was Prime plus one percent.  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  usually bear  interest at a rate in excess of the rate
payable to the bank which extended the line of credit, the amount to be retained
by the  Partnership,  after payment of the line of credit cost,  will be greater
than without the use of 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 twenty-two 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  September  30,
1999, there were two properties in foreclosure.
<PAGE>

     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 and the General Partners' inability to control many
of these factors,  actual results may and do sometimes differ significantly from
estimates made. Management provided $312,684,  $268,101,  $180,054 and $111,762,
as  provision  for  doubtful  accounts  for the years ended  December  31, 1996,
December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1998 and nine months  through  September 30,
1999,  respectively.  The decrease in the provision reflects the decrease in the
amount of REO,  unsecured  receivables and the decreasing  levels of delinquency
within the portfolio. Additionally, the General Partners felt that the bottom of
the real estate cycle had been  reached,  reflecting  a  decreasing  need to set
aside reserves for the continuously declining real estate values as had been the
case in the early 1990's. As of September 30, 1999, the Partnership  reduced the
REO balance from $1,501,712 as of December 31, 1995, to $8,941 through September
30, 1999. This reduction  assisted the Partnership in increasing yields in 1999,
as non-earning assets were converted to earning assets.

     The September  23, 1999 issue of the San Mateo Times,  published a new UCLA
Anderson forecast which focused on the California economy.  The General Partners
agree with their observations and predictions. The UCLA focus stated:

     "The  California  economy  will  grow at a  healthy  pace over the next two
decades,  but there is little chance of returning to the sustained economic boom
that carried the state during the first four decades following World War II.

     California's  economic  growth  will  be  limited  by the  consequences  of
population  growth:  high housing  costs,  traffic  congestion  and long commute
times,  according to the quarterly  forecast  released  Tuesday.  Looking at the
national  scene,  the forecast  predicted  the Federal  Reserve Board will raise
interest  rates  another  half  percent  over the next few  months and then hold
steady at 5.75  percent  through  2000 to  further  curb  inflation  risks.  The
increase will slow economic growth from 3.9 percent in 1999 to 2.5 percent.

     "This  forecast  is  for a  very  soft  landing",  the  forecast  said.  In
California,  employment  will grow by about 2.1 percent  annually  through 2020,
good for a cumulative increase of 50 percent.

     That rate contrasts with an average growth rate of 3.5 percent from 1950 to
1990, when the California economy depended heavily on the Cold War arms race and
expanding government space programs, said Tom Lieser,  executive director of the
Anderson Forecast and author of the repor's California section.

     "A lot of that  basically  fell from the sky so to speak," Lieser said."It
came from the defense budget right to our doorstep.  California was blessed with
conditions that made this the capital of the aerospace industr".

     That market  changed in 1990 when the Cold War ended and  defense  spending
fell sharply.

     The United States fell into recession,  with California suffering more than
most other states. What eventually  emerged,  Lieser said, is an economy that is
more diverse and less vulnerable to the federal budget.

     "Now we have a market-driven  economy, which was built on the technological
specialization  that we had from  aerospace  and our  universities.  We build on
that, but we don't have to worry about that going away," he said.
<PAGE>

     Aerospace employment peaked in the 1980s at 380,000, and fell to 165,000 by
1996 in the wake of the downsizing.  Aerospace  employment has  stabilized,  but
growth will be limited, the report said.

     The challenge of the next two decades will be to build  housing,  roads and
other infrastructure that sustained growth will require".

     To the Partnership, the above evaluation of the California economy means an
increase in property values, job growth, personal income growth, etc., which all
translates  into  more  loan  activity,  which of  course,  is  healthy  for the
Partnership's lending activity.

     The  Partnership's  interest  in land  located in East Palo  Alto,  Ca, was
acquired through foreclosure.  The Partnership's interest was invested with that
of two other Partnerships.  The Partnership's basis of $14,067, $0, $708,141 and
$496,040 for the nine months through  September 30, 1999 and for the years ended
December 31, 1998,  December 31, 1997 and 1996  respectively,  has been invested
with that of two other  Partnerships.  The  Partnership  had been  attempting to
develop property into an approximately 63 units  residential  subdivision,  (the
"Development"). The proposed Development had gained significant public awareness
as a result of certain environmental, fish and wildlife, population density, and
other  concerns.   Incorporated  into  the  proposed  Development  were  various
mitigation  measures included  remediation of hazardous material existing on the
property and protection of potentially  affected species due to the proximity to
the San Francisco  Baylands.  These issues and others sparked significant public
controversy.  Opposition  against  and  support  for  the  proposed  Development
existed. Among those in opposition to the project was Rhone Poulanc, Inc., which
is responsible for a nearby hazardous waste site.  Rhone Poulanc,  Inc. has been
identified  as the  Responsible  Party  for the  "Arsenic  Contamination"  which
affected a portion of the property. On May 8, 1998, the Partnership, in order to
resolve   disputes   which  arose  during  the  course  of  attempts  to  obtain
entitlements for this Development,  entered into agreements with  Rhone-Poulanc,
Inc., which among other things, restricted the property to non residential uses,
provided  for  appropriate  indemnification  and  included  other  consideration
including  a cash  payment to the  Partnership.  The  Partnership  has  retained
ownership  of the  property,  which is  subject to  various  deed  restrictions,
options and or first  rights of refusal.  The General  Partners are pleased with
this outcome to the residential  development  attempt.  The General Partners may
now explore other  available  options with respect to  alternative  uses for the
property. In order to pursue these options,  rezoning of the property's existing
residential  zoning   classification  will  be  required.   The  Partnership  is
continuing to explore  remediation  options  available to mitigate the pesticide
contamination which affects the property.  This pesticide  contamination appears
to be the result of agricultural operations by prior owners, and is unrelated to
the Arsenic Contamination for which Rhone Poulanc, Inc. remains responsible. The
General  Partners do not believe at this time that  remediation of the pesticide
contaminants  will have a material adverse effect on the financial  condition of
the Partnership.

     At the time of subscription  to the  Partnership,  Limited  Partners made a
decision to either take distributions of earnings monthly, quarterly or annually
or to compound  earnings in their capital  account.  During the last three years
and the nine month period ending September 30, 1999, the following  distribution
of earnings,  after  allocation of syndication  costs,  were made to the Limited
Partners.   These  earnings  are  tabulated   separately  for   compounding  and
distributing partners.

                                                                      9 months
                         December 31,   December 31,   December 31,    through
                            1996          1997            1998     Sept 30, 1999
                         ------------   ------------   ------------  -----------
Compounding Partners      $293,484       $271,517       $276,668       $230,317
Distributing Partners     $288,796       $252,378       $230,712       $158,163
                         ------------   ------------   ------------  -----------
Total Earnings            $582,280       $523,895       $507,380       $388,480

     As of December 31, 1996,  December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1998 and nine
months  through  September  30,  1999,  Limited  Partners  electing  to withdraw
earnings represented 49 %, 46%, 43% and 43% respectively of the Limited Partners
outstanding capital accounts.
<PAGE>

     The Partnership  also allows the Limited Partners to withdraw their capital
account  subject  to  certain   limitations  (see   liquidation   provisions  of
Partnership  Agreement).  For the years ended  December 31,  1996,  December 31,
1997,  December 31, 1998, and nine months through  September 30, 1999,  $96,362,
$159,732, $122,069 and $88,912, respectively, were liquidated subject to the 10%
penalty  for  early  withdrawal.  These  withdrawals  are  within  the  normally
anticipated  range that the General Partners would expect in their experience in
this and other Partnerships. The General Partners expect that a small percentage
of Limited Partners will elect to liquidate their capital accounts over one year
with a 10% early withdrawal penalty.  In originally  conceiving the Partnership,
the General  Partners wanted to provide Limited  Partners  needing their capital
returned a degree of liquidity. Generally, Limited Partners electing to withdraw
over one year  need to  liquidate  investments  to raise  cash.  The  trend  the
Partnership is  experiencing in withdrawals by Limited  Partners  electing a one
year  liquidation  program  represents  a small  percentage  of Limited  Partner
capital as of December  31,  1996,  December  31,  1997,  December  31, 1998 and
September  30,  1999,  respectively  and is expected by the General  Partners to
commonly occur at these levels.

     Additionally,  for the years ended  December 31,  1996,  December 31, 1997,
December  31, 1998 and nine  months  through  September  30,  1999,  $1,086,737,
$1,137,677,  $938,040 and  $608,954,  respectively,  were  liquidated by Limited
Partners who have elected a  liquidation  program over a period of five years or
longer.  Once the initial five year hold period has passed, the General Partners
expect to see an increase in liquidations due to the ability of Limited Partners
to  withdraw  without  penalty.  This  ability to  withdraw  after five years by
Limited Partners has the effect of providing Limited Partner liquidity which the
General  Partners  then  expect  a  portion  of the  Limited  Partners  to avail
themselves  of.  This has the  anticipated  effect of the  partnership  growing,
primarily  through  reinvestment  of  earnings in years one  through  five.  The
General Partners expect to see increasing numbers of Limited Partner withdrawals
in years five through eleven,  at which time the bulk of those Limited  Partners
who have  sought  withdrawal  will  have been  liquidated.  After  year  eleven,
liquidation  generally  subsides  and the  Partnership  capital  again  tends to
increase.

     The Year 2000 will be a challenge for the entire world, with respect to the
conversion of existing  computerized  operations.  The Partnership is completing
its assessment of Year 2000 hardware and software issues.  The hardware issue is
fully complete and tested.  The Partnership relies on Redwood Mortgage Corp., an
affiliate of the Partnership,  third party and software vendors for its computer
software. Major services provided to the Partnership by these companies are loan
servicing,  accounting and investor services. The software for loan servicing is
installed and is in compliance with Year 2000 issues. Installation of accounting
software that is Year 2000 compliant  began and was completed  during the second
quarter of 1999 and has been  tested  since that time.  The  investor  servicing
software  is still  being  modified,  however  software  maintenance  agreements
provide for Year 2000  compliance.  Additionally,  the Partnership has contacted
several outside vendors that provide investor services as a possible alternative
to providing  investor  services in house.  These service providers will be more
expensive  than the  current  in house  systems,  but they do  provide a back-up
alternative.  Reports  are being run  parallel  to insure  accuracy of Year 2000
compliance. This will continue through December 31, 1999.

     The costs of updating  the various  software  systems  will be borne by the
various  companies  that supply the  Partnership  with services.  Therefore,  no
significant  capital outlays are  anticipated  and the Partnership  expects only
incidental costs of conversion for Year 2000 issues.

     The Partnership is in the business of making Mortgage  Investments  secured
by real estate. The most important factor in making the Mortgage  Investments is
the value of the real estate  security.  Year 2000 issues have some potential to
affect  industries  and  businesses  located  in the  marketplaces  in which the
Partnership places its Mortgage  Investments.  This would only have an effect on
the Partnership if Year 2000 issues cause a significant downturn in the northern
California economy.  The fact that Silicon Valley is located in our marketplace,
there may be significant  increased  demand for Silicon Valley type services and
goods as companies make ready for the Year 2000 conversion.

     Although  almost  complete,  if any or all  accounting,  loan servicing and
investor  services   conversions   should  fail,  the  size  and  scope  of  the
Partnership's activities are such that a failure could be handled at an equal or
higher  cost.  This  could be done on a  manual  basis  or  outsourced  to other
servicers  existing in the industry,  while correcting  systems problems and are
likely to be temporarily in nature.  While this would entail some initial set up
costs,  these costs  would  likely not be so  significant  as to have a material
effect upon the Partnership.  Shifting portions of daily operations to manual or
outsourced  systems may result in time  delays,  which could  negatively  affect
customer  relations  and lead to the  potential  loss of new loans  and  Limited
Partner investments.

     The  foregoing  analysis  of  Year  2000  issues  includes  forward-looking
statements  and  predictions  about  possible  or  future  events,   results  of
operations  and  financial  condition.  As such,  this  analysis may prove to be
inaccurate  because of  assumptions  made by the General  Partners or the actual
development  of  future  events.  No  assurance  can be given  that any of these
statements  or  predictions   will  ultimately  prove  to  be  correct  or  even
substantially correct.

     Various  other  risks and  uncertainties  could  also  affect the Year 2000
analysis  causing a more severe effect on the Partnership  than discussed above.
The General  Partners Year 2000  compliance  testing  cannot  guarantee that all
computer  systems will function  without error beyond the Year 2000.  Risks also
exist with respect to Year 2000  compliance by external  parties who may have no
relationship  to the  Partnership  or  the  General  Partners,  but  who  have a
significant  relationship with one or more third parties,  and may have a system
failure that adversely  affects the  Partnership's  ability to conduct business.
While the General Partners are attempting to identify such external parties,  no
assurance can be given that it will be able to do so.

     Furthermore,  third parties with direct relationships with the Partnership,
whose  systems have been  identified  as likely to be Year 2000  compliant,  may
suffer a breakdown due to unforeseen circumstances. It is also possible that the
information collected by the General Partners' for these third parties regarding
their compliance with Year 2000 issues may be incorrect.  Finally,  it should be
noted that the  foregoing  discussion  of Year 2000 issues  assumes  that to the
extent  the  General  Partners  systems  fail,  whether  because  of  unforeseen
complications  or  because  of  third  parties'  failure,  switching  to  manual
operations will allow the Partnership to continue to conduct its business. While
the  General  Partner  believes  this  assumption  to  be  reasonable,  if it is
incorrect,  the  Partnership's  results of operations  would likely be adversely
affected.
