                                     Part I
                                     ------
      Item 1.  Business.
               --------

              Copley Pension Properties VI; A Real Estate Limited Partnership
      (the "Partnership") (formerly New England Pension Properties VI; A Real
      Estate Limited Partnership) was organized under the Uniform Limited
      Partnership Act of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on October 16, 1987,
      to invest primarily in newly constructed and existing income-producing
      real properties.

              The Partnership was initially capitalized with contributions of
      $2,000 in the aggregate from Sixth Copley Corp. (the "Managing General
      Partner") and GCOP Associates Limited Partnership (the "Associate General
      Partner") (collectively, the "General Partners") and $10,000 from Copley
      Real Estate Advisors, Inc. (the "Initial Limited Partner"). The
      Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (the "Registration
      Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26,
      1987, with respect to a public offering of 80,000 units of limited
      partnership interest at a price of $1,000 per unit (the "Units") with an
      option to sell up to an additional 80,000 Units (an aggregate of
      $160,000,000). The Registration Statement was declared effective on
      January 20, 1988.

              The first sale of Units occurred on July 28, 1988, at which time
      the Initial Limited Partner withdrew its contribution from the
      Partnership. Investors were admitted to the Partnership thereafter at
      monthly closings; the offering terminated and the last group of
      subscription agreements was accepted by the Partnership on December 31,
      1988. At the termination of the offering, a total of 48,788 Units had been
      sold, a total of 6,396 investors had been admitted as limited partners
      (the "Limited Partners") and a total of $48,511,620 net of discounts had
      been contributed to the capital of the Partnership. The remaining 111,212
      Units were de-registered on February 10, 1989.

              As of December 31, 1997 the Partnership is invested in the four
      real property investments described below. During 1990, a joint venture
      in which the Partnership was a partner sold its interest in a fifth real
      estate investment located in Chino Hills, California. The Partnership made
      a distribution to the Limited Partners in the amount of $48.17 per Unit.
      During 1994, a joint venture in which the Partnership was a partner sold
      its interest in a sixth investment located in Phoenix, Arizona. The
      Partnership made a distribution to the Limited Partners of $182.85 per
      Unit. During 1997, the Partnership sold a seventh investment located in
      Farmers Branch, Texas. The Partnership made a capital distribution to the
      Limited Partners of $88.84 per unit. The Partnership has no current plans
      to renovate, improve or further develop any of its real property
      investments. In the opinion of the Managing General Partner of the
      Partnership, the properties are adequately covered by insurance.

              The Partnership has no employees. Services are performed for the
      Partnership by the Managing General Partner and affiliates of the Managing
      General Partner.

              A.     Industrial Building in Carson, California ("Wilmington 
                     ------------------------------------------------------
                     Industrial").
                     -------------

              On July 18, 1988 the Partnership acquired a 60% interest in a
      joint venture with an affiliate of The Hewson Company. On November 15,
      1989, the Partnership agreed to increase its maximum commitment from
      $6,685,000 to $7,285,000. On February 1, 1991, the Partnership agreed to
      increase its maximum commitment to $8,085,000. The Partnership made
      capital contributions totaling $7,774,402. As of December 31, 1991,
      because of the developer partner's inability to fund its share of capital
      contributions, the Partnership assumed 100% ownership of the joint
      venture's assets, which consist primarily of approximately 5.77 acres of
      land in Carson, California and a 115,732 square 
<PAGE>
 
      foot multi-tenant industrial building located thereon. As of December 31,
      1997, the building was 100% leased.

              B.     Apartment Complex in Frederick, Maryland ("Waterford
                     ----------------------------------------------------
                     Apartments").
                     -------------

              On March 20, 1989 the Partnership acquired a 48.75% interest in a
      joint venture formed with Copley Pension Properties VII; A Real Estate
      Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership (the "Affiliate")
      with a 16.25% interest, and Frederick Bozzuto Limited Partnership. On
      October 23, 1990 the Partnership agreed to increase its maximum commitment
      from $9,000,000 to $14,100,000 of which $10,575,000 is considered Senior
      Capital and $3,525,000 is considered Junior Capital. As of December 31,
      1997, the Partnership had contributed $14,099,978 to the capital of the
      joint venture. The joint venture agreement entitles the Partnership and
      the Affiliate to receive a preferred return on their respective invested
      capital at the rate of 10.09% per annum. Such preferred return will be
      payable currently until the Partnership and the Affiliate have received an
      aggregate of $687,471; thereafter, the preferred return on the Senior
      Capital will be payable currently and the preferred return on the Junior
      Capital will accrue and bear interest at the rate of 10.09% per annum,
      compounded monthly, if sufficient cash flow is not available therefor. In
      the event of a sale or refinancing prior to the tenth anniversary of the
      joint venture agreement, the Partnership would be entitled to have 25% of
      its contribution repaid without premium and to have the remaining 75%
      repaid subject to a premium designed to preserve the stipulated rate of
      return through the ninth anniversary of the joint venture agreement. The
      joint venture agreement also entitles the Partnership to receive 48.75% of
      remaining cash flow and 48.75% of sale and refinancing proceeds following
      the return of the Partnership's and the Affiliate's equity.

              On February 11, 1998, Frederick Bozzuto Limited Partnership filed
      a declaratory judgment action in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County.
      The Partnership and the Affiliate had declared that an impasse under the
      joint venture agreement existed because of a disagreement between the
      Partnership and the Affiliate, on the one hand, and Frederick Bozzuto
      Limited Partnership, on the other hand, with respect to the contents of
      the business plan to be adopted by the joint venture for 1998. The
      Partnership and the Affiliate had sought to effect the dissolution of the
      joint venture pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement. The
      declaratory judgment action asks the Court to hold that no impasse (and,
      hence, no right to dissolve the joint venture) can exist with respect to a
      disagreement over the contents of the annual business plan of the joint
      venture.

              The joint venture owns approximately 16.35 acres of land improved
      with a 295,074 square foot, 314-unit apartment complex, which was
      developed in two phases between 1989 and 1991. As of December 31, 1997,
      this complex was approximately 93% leased.

              C.     Industrial Building in Petaluma, California ("White
                     ---------------------------------------------------
                     Phonic").
                     ---------

              On April 30, 1990, the Partnership acquired a 50% interest in a
      joint venture with a partnership whose principals are William White and
      George Vila. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had contributed
      $3,294,860 to the capital of the joint venture. The maximum commitment is
      $3,450,000. The joint venture agreement entitles the Partnership to
      receive monthly preferred return payments at the rate of 10% per annum, of
      which a minimum of 9% is payable currently. If sufficient cash flow is not
      available therefor, up to 1% per annum may accrue and bear interest at the
      rate of 10% per annum for up to ten years. The joint venture agreement
      also entitles the Partnership to receive 50% of the remaining cash flow
      and 50% of sale and refinancing proceeds following the return of the
      Partnership's equity.

              The joint venture owns approximately 2.91 acres of land and has
      completed construction thereon of a single-story light industrial building
      containing approximately 35,100 square feet. As of December 31, 1997, the
      building was 100% leased to a single tenant.

              D.     Industrial Building in Itasca, Illinois ("Prentiss 
                     --------------------------------------------------
                     Copystar").
                     -----------

              On May 23, 1991, the Partnership acquired a 51.75% interest in a
      joint venture formed with Copley Pension Properties VII; A Real Estate
      Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership (the "Affiliate")
      with a 23.25% interest, and with an affiliate of Prentiss Properties, Ltd.
      As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had contributed $2,296,411 to 
<PAGE>
 
      the capital of the joint venture, of which $63,563 had been returned to
      the Partnership. Of the capital contributed and not returned, $1,542,848
      is characterized as Senior Capital and $690,000 is characterized as Junior
      Capital. The joint venture agreement entitles the Partnership to receive a
      preferred compounded monthly return of 11% per annum of which the return
      on Senior Capital will be payable currently and the return on Junior
      Capital may accrue and compound monthly if sufficient cash flow is not
      available therefor. If the Senior Capital is repaid prior to the
      termination of the joint venture, the Partnership will be entitled to
      receive a return on the Senior Capital at the lesser of 11% per annum or
      the treasury rate for treasury bonds having a maturity date coinciding
      with the termination of the joint venture, plus 75 basis points. The joint
      venture agreement also entitles the Partnership to receive 51.75% of the
      net proceeds of sales and financings after return of its capital and
      51.75% of cash flow remaining after payment of the preferred return.

              The joint venture owns approximately 3.75 acres of land in Itasca,
      Illinois and during 1991 completed construction thereon of an
      approximately 70,535 square foot single-story industrial building. As of
      December 31, 1997, the building was 100% leased to a single tenant for a
      term which expires in 1999. The tenant has an option that commenced in
      September, 1995 to purchase the facility at fair market value. As of
      December 31, 1997, the tenant has not expressed any interest in exercising
      the option.

         Following is information regarding the competitive market conditions
for each of the Partnership's properties. This information has been gathered
from sources deemed reliable. However, the Partnership has not independently
verified the information and, as such, cannot guarantee its accuracy or
completeness:

Industrial Building in Carson, California
- -----------------------------------------

The property is located within the greater Los Angeles industrial market. During
1997, the supply and demand balance in the Los Angeles industrial market
remained in equilibrium, while the years of supply grew from 2.2 years in 1996
to 2.7 years in 1997. Net absorption in the Los Angeles County metropolitan area
during 1997 was 1.8%, a decrease from the 3.1% recorded in 1996. The 1997
industrial vacancy rate at year-end 1997 was 6.7%, an improvement from the 8.2%
rate recorded at the close of 1996. Also indicative of the metro area's
improving economy is a falling jobless rate, which recently fell to 6.3%.

Industrial Building, Itasca, Illinois.
- -------------------------------------

This industrial building is located in the metropolitan Chicago industrial
market, where employment is approximately 1.7% higher than in 1996. The jobless
rate at year-end 1997 stood at approximately 4.6%, and labor force growth
continues to accelerate. Over the past year, years of supply in the metropolitan
Chicago industrial market fell from 6.4 years to 4.3 years. The year-end 1997
industrial vacancy rate is expected to be 10.6%, up from 10.1% recorded at the
close of 1996. Available space in the property's submarket, DuPage County,
climbed over 400,000 square feet in 1996 to approximately 5.9 million square
feet.

Apartment Complex in Frederick, Maryland.
- ----------------------------------------

This apartment complex is located in the southwestern section of the city of
Frederick, Maryland, which is approximately 50 miles from both Washington, D.C.
and Baltimore, Maryland. Demand for office space is shifting from northern
Virginia toward suburban Maryland, which is prompting office construction in the
area. This could have a positive effect on the Frederick apartment market.
Average rental rates in the Frederick market increased by approximately 5% - 7%
between 1996 and 1997, as businesses continue to move up the I-270 corridor,
positively impacting the Frederick market.

Industrial Building, Petaluma, California
- -----------------------------------------

The property is located in the Sonoma County industrial market, approximately 40
miles north of San Francisco. Demand for R&D/flex properties continues to be
strong in the Sonoma County area. As of September 1997, the Sonoma County
industrial market was 4.6% vacant, while Petaluma, the leading submarket, was
2.4% vacant. This rate was a decrease from the 4.0% recorded at year-end 1996.
Most of the area's growth has been fueled by growth in telecommunications,
software, computer hardware and related service firms.

     However, over the last year, vacancy rates in the market fell from 9.15% at
the end of 1996 to approximately 8.4% at year-end 1997. Furthermore, sales 
activity in Northeast DuPage County during the first half of 1997 was 33% 
greater than sales activity during the second half of 1996.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
        -----------------

           A partner in a joint venture in which the Partnership holds an 
interest has filed a declaratory judgment action with respect to certain 
provisions of the joint ventrure agreement. See Item 1.A.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
        ---------------------------------------------------

           No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------

        There is no active market for the Units. Trading in the Units is
sporadic and occurs solely through private transactions.

        As of December 31, 1997, there were 6,482 holders of Units.

        The Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership dated July 28, 1988, as amended to date (the "Partnership
Agreement"), requires that any Distributable Cash (as defined therein) be
distributed quarterly to the partners in specified proportions and priorities.
There are no restrictions on the Partnership's present or future ability to make
distributions of Distributable Cash. For the year ended December 31, 1997, cash
distributions paid in 1997 or distributed after year end with respect to 1997 to
the Limited Partners as a group totaled $8,111,492, including $4,334,326 of
returned capital from the proceeds of a property sale and $968,442 of returned
capital from original working capital reserves. For the year ended December 31,
1996, cash distributions paid in 1996 or distributed after year end with respect
to 1996 to the Limited Partners as a group totaled $2,062,756.

           Cash distributions exceeded net income in 1997 and 1996 and
therefore resulted in a reduction of partners' capital. Cash distributions in
1997 exceeded cash provided by operating activities. Cash distributions in 1996
approximated cash provided by operating activities. Reference is made to the
Partnership's Statement of Partners' Capital (Deficit) and Statement of Cash
Flows in Item 8 hereof.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership
interest in December 1988 and a total of 48,788 units were sold. The Partnership
received proceeds of $43,472,858, net of selling commissions and other offering
costs, which have been used for investment in real estate, for the payment of
related acquisition costs or retained as working capital reserves. The
Partnership currently holds the four investments described in Item 1 hereof. In
addition, one investment was sold in each of 1990, 1994 and 1997. Through
December 31, 1997, capital of $16,573,771 ($339.71 per limited partnership unit)
has been returned to the limited partners; $15,605,329 as a result of sales and
$968,442 in 1997, as a result of a discretionary reduction of original working
capital previously held in reserves.

         On September 29, 1997, Stemmons Industrial located in Farmers Branch,
Texas was sold to an institutional buyer unaffiliated with the Partnership for
$4,500,000. The Partnership received net proceeds of $4,334,193, after closing
costs, and recognized a gain of $248,172 ($5.04 per limited partnership unit). A
disposition fee of $135,000 was accrued but not paid to AEW. On October 29,
1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $4,334,326 ($88.84 per
limited partnership unit) from the proceeds of the sale. Simultaneously, an
additional capital distribution of $968,442 ($19.85 per limited partnership
unit) was made from original working capital previously held in reserves.

         At December 31, 1997, the Partnership had $3,538,379 in cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments, of which $536,175 was used for cash
distributions to partners on January 29, 1998; the remainder is being retained
as working capital reserves. The source of future liquidity and cash
distributions to partners will be primarily cash generated by the Partnership's
short-term and real estate investments. Distributions of cash from operations
relating to the first three quarters of 1997 were made at the annualized rate of
5.5% on the adjusted capital contribution. The fourth quarter distribution of
cash from operations was made at the annualized rate of 6.25% on the weighted
average capital contribution. Also during the fourth quarter of 1997, a
distribution of $14.98 per limited partnership unit was made from operational
cash previously held in reserves. During 1996, quarterly distributions of cash
from operations were made at the annualized rate of 5.5% on the adjusted capital
contribution.

         The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial
statements at December 31, 1997 is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's
carrying value is determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted
future cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value.
The fair market value of such investments is further reduced by the estimated
cost of sale for properties held for sale. Carrying value may be greater or less
than current appraised value. At December 31, 1997, the appraised value of each
of the Partnership's real estate investments exceeded their related carrying
value by an aggregate of approximately $8,558,000. The current appraised value
of real estate investments has been estimated by the Managing General Partner
and is generally based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches
performed by the Partnership's advisor and independent appraisers. Because of
the 
<PAGE>
 
subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the estimated current appraised
value may differ significantly from that which could be realized if the real
estate were actually offered for sale in the marketplace.

         The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Partnership's computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize
a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result
in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations,
including among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or
engage in normal business operations. The Managing General Partner and its
affiliates are assessing the modifications or replacements of its software that
may be necessary for its computer systems to function properly with respect to
the dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The general partner and its
affiliates do not believe that the cost of either modifying existing software or
converting to new software will be significant or that the Year 2000 Issue will
pose significant operational problems.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         Form of Real Estate Investments

         The Wilmington Industrial investment is a wholly-owned property.
Effective July 1, 1994, the Stemmons Industrial joint venture investment was
converted to a wholly-owned property and subsequently sold in September 1997.
The remaining investments in the portfolio are joint ventures.

         Operating Factors

         The Partnership's three industrial properties (Prentiss Copystar,
Wilmington and White Phonic) were 100% leased at December 31, 1997 and December
31, 1996.

         As discussed above, the Partnership sold its Stemmons Industrial
investment on September 29, 1997, and recognized a gain of $248,172. Stemmons
Industrial was vacant at the time of sale, as it had been since February 1996,
with the expiration of a short term lease for 82% of the space.

         During the second quarter of 1995, the Managing General Partner
determined the Partnership would likely not recover the carrying value of its
investment in the Wilmington Industrial property over the projected holding
period. Accordingly, the carrying value was reduced to estimated net fair market
value, with a charge to operations of $1,500,000.

         Occupancy at Waterford Apartments, the Partnership's multi-family
residential property, was at 93% occupancy at December 31, 1997, down from 97%
at December 31, 1996.
<PAGE>
 
         Investment Activity

         Interest income on cash equivalents and short-term investments
increased by approximately $7,000 compared to 1996 due primarily to higher
average investment balances as a result of the temporary investment of the
receipt of the Stemmons Industrial sales proceeds. Interest income on short-term
investments and cash equivalents decreased between 1996 and 1995, due primarily
to lower average investment balances and lower average yields.


         1997 Compared to 1996

         Exclusive of net losses from operations from Stemmons Industrial of
($172,798) in 1997 and ($242,558) in 1996, total real estate operations for 1997
was $1,698,187, an increase from $1,567,860 for the comparable period of 1996.
Operating results at Waterford Apartments increased by $142,000 primarily due to
higher rental rates combined with a decrease in depreciation expense related to
personal property that became fully depreciated. These improvements in operating
results were partially offset by an increase in property operating expenses
primarily due to increases in salary expense and real estate taxes. Operating
results at Prentiss also improved, by approximately $29,000, due to a reduction
in real estate taxes combined with a decrease in amortization expense related to
leasing commissions that became fully amortized. Conversely, operating income at
Wilmington decreased approximately $55,000, primarily due to higher legal
expenses and an allowance for bad debt associated with long outstanding tenant
receivables. Depreciation expense also increased due to the addition of tenant
improvements in the second half of 1996.

         Cash flow from operations did not change significantly between the two
periods ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.

         1996 Compared to 1995

         Total real estate operations for 1996 was $1,325,302, a decrease from
$1,432,144 for 1995, exclusive of the investment valuation allowance in 1995.
Operating income at Stemmons Industrial decreased $491,000 due to lower rental
revenue and higher expenses as a result of the property being vacant for the
majority of 1996. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in operating
income of $364,000 from Wilmington Industrial due to the increase in occupancy,
combined with lower depreciation and amortization expense since certain assets
had been fully depreciated.

         Cash flow from operations decreased by $523,000 from 1995 to 1996. This
decrease was largely consistent with the investment results discussed above,
combined with changes in property working capital.

Portfolio Expenses

         The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from
operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as
determined by the Managing General 
<PAGE>
 
Partner. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of real estate
appraisal, printing, legal, accounting and investor servicing fees.

         1997 Compared to 1996

         The Partnership management fee increased approximately $75,000 between
1997 and 1996 due to management fees incurred due to a special distribution of
previously undistributed operating reserves, and to the increase in the fourth
quarter 1997 distribution rate. General and administrative expenses decreased
approximately $22,000 primarily due to a decrease in professional fees for 1997
which was the result of a reduction in accounting, legal and appraisal fees.

         1996 Compared to 1995

         The Partnership management fee decreased approximately $38,000 between
1996 and 1995 due to a decrease in distributable cash flow. General and
administrative expenses did not change significantly between the two years.


Inflation
- ---------

         By their nature, real estate investments tend not to be adversely
affected by inflation. Inflation may result in appreciation in the value of the
Partnership's real estate investments over time if rental rates and replacement
costs increase. Declines in property values during the period of Partnership
operations, due to market and economic conditions, have overshadowed the
positive affect inflation may have on the value of the Partnership's
investments.

To the Partners

Copley Pension Properties VI;
A Real Estate Limited Partnership

In our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of other auditors for the
years ended December 31, 1977, 1996 and 1995, the financial statements listed in
the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Copley Pension Properties VI; A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of Sixth Copley Corp., the Managing
General Partner of the Partnership; our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of the Partnership's Waterford Apartments and White Phonic
joint venture investees (collectively, the "Ventures") for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, which results of operations are recorded using
the equity method of accounting in the Partnership's financial statements.
Equity in joint venture income for the Ventures aggregated $1,002,020 and
$1,021,252 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. We also
did not audit the financial statements of the Partnership's Prentiss/Copley
Itasca Associates joint venture investee for the year ended December 31, 1995,
which results of operations are recorded using the equity method of accounting
in the Partnership's financial statements. Equity in joint venture income for
Prentiss/Copley Itasca Associates aggregated $143,434 for the year ended
December 31, 1995. We also did not audit the financial statements of 21136
Wilmington Avenue, a wholly-owned property, for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, which statements reflect total revenues of $746,004 and $625,282,
for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Those statements
were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us,
and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for the equity in joint venture income for the Ventures for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, for equity in joint venture income for
Prentiss/Copley Itasca Associates for the year ended December 31, 1995, and for
the amounts for 21136 Wilmington Avenue for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Managing
General Partner, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Organization and Business
- ----------------------------------

         General
         -------

         Copley Pension Properties VI; A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose
of investing primarily in newly constructed and existing income-producing real
properties. It primarily serves as an investment for qualified pension and
profit sharing plans and other organizations intended to be exempt from federal
income tax. The Partnership commenced operations in July 1988, and acquired the
four real estate investments it currently owns prior to the end of 1991. It
intends to dispose of its investments within eight to twelve years of their
acquisition, and then liquidate.

         The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is Sixth Copley Corp.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc. ("AEW"), formerly
known as Copley Real Estate Advisors, Inc. ("Copley"). The associate general
partner is GCOP Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited
partnership. Subject to the Managing General Partner's overall authority, the
business of the Partnership is managed by AEW pursuant to an advisory contract.

         On December 10, 1996, Copley's parent, New England Investment
Companies, Limited Partnership ("NEIC") a publicly traded master limited
partnership, acquired certain assets subject to then existing liabilities from
Aldrich, Eastman & Waltch, Inc. and its affiliates and principals (collectively,
"the AEW operations"). Simultaneously, a new entity, AEW Capital Management,
L.P., was formed into which NEIC contributed its interest in Copley and its
affiliates. As a result, the AEW operations were combined with Copley to form
the business operations of AEW Capital Management, L.P. At year end 1997, NEIC
completed a restructuring plan under which it contributed all of its operations
to a newly formed private partnership, NEIC Operating Partnership, L.P., in
exchange for a general partnership interest in the newly formed entity. As such,
at December 31, 1997, AEW Capital Management, L.P. is wholly owned by NEIC
Operating Partnership, L.P. AEW is a subsidiary of AEW Capital Management, L.P.

         Prior to August 30, 1996, New England Mutual Life Insurance Company
("The New England") was NEIC's principal unit holder and owner of all of the
outstanding stock of NEIC's general partner. On August 30, 1996, The New England
merged with and into Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("Met Life"). Met Life
is the surviving entity and, therefore, through a wholly owned subsidiary,
became the owner of the units of partnership interest previously owned by The
New England and of the stock of NEIC's general partner.

         Management
         ----------

         AEW, as advisor, is entitled to receive stipulated fees from the
Partnership in consideration of services performed in connection with the
management of the Partnership and the acquisition and disposition of Partnership
investments in real property. Partnership management fees are 9% of
distributable cash from operations, as defined, before deducting such fees. The
deferred management fees of $112,441 incurred through 1990 were paid to the
advisor in September 1994 with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of
Lakewood Apartments. AEW is also reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection
with administering the Partnership ($17,026 in 1997, $21,352 in 1996, and
$23,012 in 1995). Acquisition fees were paid in an amount equal to 2% of the
gross proceeds from the offering, at the time commitments were initially funded.
Disposition fees are limited to the lesser of 3% of the selling price of the
property, or 50% of the standard real estate commission customarily charged by
an independent real estate broker. Payments of disposition fees are subject to
the prior receipt by the limited partners of their capital contributions plus a
stipulated return thereon. Deferred disposition fees were $717,677 and $582,677
at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
<PAGE>
 
         New England Securities Corporation ("NESC"), an indirect subsidiary of
Met Life, is engaged by the Partnership to act as its unit holder servicing
agent. Fees and out-of-pocket expenses for such services totaled $9,669, $9,211
and $8,493 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Fees to Back Bay Advisors,
L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NEIC, for short-term investment advisory
services totaled $5,200, $6,278 and $5,047, for the same annual periods.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------------

         Accounting Estimates
         --------------------

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Managing General Partner to make
estimates affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and of
revenues and expenses. In the Partnership's business, certain estimates require
an assessment of factors not within management's control, such as the ability of
tenants to perform under long-term leases and the ability of the properties to
sustain their occupancies in changing markets. Actual results, therefore, could
differ from those estimates.

         Real Estate Joint Ventures
         --------------------------

         Investments in joint ventures including loans, which are in substance
real estate investments, are stated at cost plus (minus) equity in undistributed
joint venture income (losses). Allocations of joint venture income (losses) were
made to the Partnership's venture partners as long as they had substantial
economic equity in the project. Currently, the Partnership records an amount
equal to 100% of the operating results of each joint venture, after the
elimination of all inter-entity transactions, except for the two ventures which
include an affiliate of the Partnership, which has substantial economic equity
in the respective projects.

         Property
         --------

         Property includes land and buildings, which are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation, and other operating net assets (liabilities). The
Partnership's initial carrying value of a property previously owned by a joint
venture equals the Partnership's carrying value of the prior investment on the
conversion date.

         Capitalized Costs, Depreciation and Amortization
         ------------------------------------------------

         Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Significant
improvements and renewals are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the buildings and
improvements. Leasing costs are also capitalized and amortized over the related
lease term.

         Acquisition fees have been capitalized as part of the cost of real
estate investments. Amounts not related to land are being amortized using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the underlying property.

         Certain tenant leases provide for rental increases over the respective
lease terms. Rental revenue is being recognized on a straight-line basis over
the lease terms.
<PAGE>
 
         Realizability of Real Estate Investments
         ----------------------------------------

         The Partnership considers a real estate investment to be impaired when
it determines the carrying value of the investment is not recoverable through
expected undiscounted cash flows generated from the operations and disposition
of the property. The impairment loss is based on the excess of the investment's
carrying value over its estimated fair market value. For investments held for
sale, the impairment loss also includes estimated costs of sale. Property held
for sale is not depreciated during the holding period.

         Carrying value may be greater or less than current appraised value. At
December 31, 1997, the appraised values of investments exceeded the related
carrying value by an aggregate of approximately $8,558,000. At December 31,
1996, the carrying value of one investment exceeded its appraised value by
$260,000. The remaining investments had appraised values which exceeded the
related carrying values by an aggregate of $5,700,000.

         The current appraised value of real estate investments has been
estimated by the Managing General Partner and is generally based on a
combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by AEW and independent
appraisers. Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the
estimated current appraised value may differ significantly from that which could
be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the
marketplace.

         Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
         -------------------------------------------

         Cash equivalents are stated at cost, plus accrued interest. The
Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents; otherwise, they are
classified as short-term investments.

         The Partnership has the positive intent and ability to hold all
investments to maturity; therefore, short-term investments are carried at cost,
plus accrued interest which approximates market value. At December 31, 1997 and
1996, all investments were in commercial paper with less than seven and five
months, respectively, remaining to maturity.

         Organization Costs
         ------------------

         Costs incurred in connection with organizing the Partnership were
capitalized and have been amortized using the straight-line method over five
years.

         Deferred Disposition Fees
         -------------------------

         Disposition fees due to AEW related to sales of investments are
included in the determination of gains or losses resulting from such
transactions. According to the terms of the advisory contract, payment of such
fees has been deferred until the limited partners first receive their capital
contributions, plus stipulated returns thereon.

         Income Taxes
         ------------

         A partnership is not liable for income taxes and, therefore, no
provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the
Partnership. A proportionate share of the Partnership's income is reportable on
each partner's tax return.

         Per Unit Computations
         ---------------------

         Per unit computations are based on the number of units of limited
partnership interest outstanding during the year. The actual per unit amount
will vary by partner depending on the date of admission to, or withdrawal from,
the Partnership.

         Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership adopted FAS 128 "Earnings
per Share," which simplifies the standards of reporting earnings per share (EPS)
previously found in APB No. 15. It provides guidance on the computation and
disclosure of basic and diluted EPS and requires restatement of prior periods
for comparative purposes. The adoption of FAS 128 did not have a material impact
on the Partnership's financial statements.

         Reclassifications
         -----------------

         Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Note 3 - Real Estate Joint Ventures
- -----------------------------------

         The Partnership had invested in seven real estate joint ventures,
organized as general partnerships with a real estate management/development firm
and, in three cases, with an affiliate of the Partnership. One joint venture
sold its property in 1990; another joint venture investment was restructured
into a wholly-owned property in 1991. During 1994, the Lakewood joint venture
sold its property and the Stemmons Industrial investment was converted to a
wholly-owned property and subsequently sold in 1997. The Partnership has
committed to make capital contributions to the ventures, which are generally
subject to preferential cash distributions at a specified rate and to priority
distributions with respect to sale or refinancing proceeds. The joint venture
agreements provide for the funding of cash flow deficits by the venture partners
in proportion to ownership interests, and for the dilution of their ownership
share in the event a venture partner does not contribute proportionately.

         The respective real estate management/development firm is responsible
for day-to-day development and operating activities, although overall authority
and responsibility for the business is shared by the venturers. The real estate
management/development firm, or its affiliates, also provides various services
to the respective joint venture for a fee.

         The following is a summary of cash invested in joint ventures, net of
returns of capital and excluding acquisition fees:

         Waterford Apartments
         --------------------

         On March 20, 1989, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with an
affiliate of Bozzuto and Associates, and with an affiliate of the Partnership,
to develop and operate a garden-style apartment complex. The Partnership and its
affiliate collectively have a 65% ownership interest in the joint venture. The
Partnership committed to contribute up to $14,100,000 to the capital of the
joint venture. The preferential return related to $3,525,000 is payable
currently only to the extent of available cash flow. In the event of a sale or
refinancing prior to the tenth anniversary of the joint venture agreement, 25%
of the Partnership's contribution would first be repaid unconditionally. The
remaining 75% would be repaid subject to a premium designed to preserve the
stipulated rate of return through the ninth anniversary of the joint venture
agreement.

         White Phonic
         ------------

         On April 30, 1990, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with an
affiliate of William C. White and George Vila to develop and operate an
office/industrial building. The Partnership committed to make a maximum capital
contribution of $3,450,000. During the first ten years, up to 1% of the
preferential return may be deferred to the extent payments cannot be made from
operating and extraordinary cash flow. Future minimum rents due to the venture
under non-cancelable operating leases are: $450,333 in 1998; $459,108 in 1999;
$468,936 in 2000; $475,956 in 2001 and $488,241 in 2002.

         Prentiss Copystar
         -----------------

         On May 23, 1991, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with an
affiliate of Prentiss Properties, Ltd., and an affiliate of the Partnership, to
develop and operate an industrial facility. The Partnership and its affiliate
collectively have a 75% interest in the joint venture. The Partnership committed
to make a maximum capital contribution of $2,300,000. The preferential return
related to $690,000 is payable currently only to the extent of available cash
flow. If $1,610,000, or any portion thereof, is returned to the Partnership
between the second and tenth anniversary of the joint venture agreement, the
return will be increased by an amount sufficient to preserve the stipulated rate
of return through the tenth anniversary. Future minimum rents due to the venture
under a non-cancelable operating lease are: $366,000 in 1998; and $281,000 in
1999.

         Sale of Lakewood
         ----------------

         On August 12, 1988, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with
an affiliate of Evans Withycombe Company, and an affiliate of the Partnership,
to develop and operate an apartment complex. The Partnership and its affiliate
collectively had a 65% interest in the joint venture. The Partnership made
capital contributions totaling $6,731,182.

         On August 17, 1994, the joint venture sold its property. After closing
costs, the Partnership received its share of the sale proceeds of $9,131,207 and
recognized a gain of $2,869,376 ($58.23 per limited partnership unit). At that
time, the Partnership also received a preferential return payment of $237,880. A
disposition fee of $318,677 was accrued but not paid to AEW. On September 15,
1994, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $8,920,886 ($182.85 per
limited partnership unit) from the proceeds of this sale. An additional $13,194
was received in 1995 in final settlement of this sale.

Note 4 - Property
- -----------------

         On July 18, 1988, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with an
affiliate of The Hewson Company to acquire and operate an industrial building
known as Wilmington Industrial in Carson, California. The Partnership made
capital contributions totaling $7,774,402. During 1991, when the venture partner
did not fund its proportionate share of the cash flow deficit, the Partnership's
ownership interest increased to 100%.

         On December 7, 1988, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with
an affiliate of The Trammell Crow Company to acquire, rehabilitate and operate
an industrial building known as Stemmons Industrial in Farmers Branch, Texas.
The Partnership made a capital contribution of $5,307,504. Effective July 1,
1994 this joint venture was dissolved and the venture partner's interest was
assigned to the Partnership. Accordingly, as of this date, the investment has
been accounted for as a wholly-owned property.

         On September 29, 1997, the Partnership sold the Stemmons Industrial
property for a gross sales price of $4,500,000. The Partnership received net
proceeds of $4,334,193, after closing costs, and recognized a gain of $248,172
($5.04 per limited partnership unit). A disposition fee of $135,000 was accrued
but not paid to AEW. On October 30, 1997, the Partnership made a capital
distribution of $4,334,326 ($88.84 per limited partnership unit) from the
proceeds of the sale.

         The following is a summary of the Partnership's investment in property
(one at December 31, 1997 and two at December 31, 1996):

         The Wilmington Industrial building is being depreciated over 30 years
and capitalized improvements are being depreciated over seven years. The
building and improvements at Stemmons Industrial were depreciated over 25 years,
beginning July 1, 1994.

         Tenant leases provide for minimum rents, subject to adjustment as
stated in each lease. Tenants are also obligated to reimburse their pro-rata
share of operating expenses. The minimum rents due under non-cancelable
operating leases at Wilmington Industrial are as follows: $469,000 in 1998;
$285,000 in 1999; $47,000 in 2000.

Note 6 - Partners' Capital
- --------------------------

         Allocation of net income (losses) from operations and distributions of
distributable cash from operations, as defined, are in the ratio of 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the general partners. Cash distributions are made
quarterly.

         Net sale proceeds and financing proceeds are allocated first to limited
partners to the extent of their contributed capital plus a stipulated return
thereon, as defined, second to pay disposition fees, and then 85% to the limited
partners and 15% to the general partners. The adjusted capital contribution per
limited partnership unit was reduced from $1,000 to $951.83 during 1990, from
$951.83 to $768.98 during 1994, and from $768.98 to $660.29 during 1997. Income
from a sale is allocated in proportion to the distribution of related proceeds,
provided that the general partners are allocated at least 1%. Losses from a
sale, and income from a sale if there are no residual proceeds after the
repayment of the related debt, will be allocated 99% to the limited partners and
1% to the general partners.

Note 7 - Litigation
- -------------------------

         On February 11, 1998, Frederick Bozzuto Limited Partnership filed a 
declaratory judgment action in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. The
Partnership and Affiliate had declared that an impasse under the joint venture
agreement existed because of a disagreement between the Partnership and the
Affiliate, on the one hand, and Frederick Bozzuto Limited Partnership, on the
other hand, with respect to the contents of the business plan to be adopted by
the joint venture for 1998. The Partnership and the Affiliate had sought to
effect the dissolution of the joint venture pursuant to the terms of the joint
venture agreement. The declaratory judgment action asks the Court to hold that
no impasse (and, hence, no right to dissolve the joint venture) can exist with
respect to a disagreement over the contents of the annual business plan of the
joint venture.

Note 8 - Subsequent Event
- -------------------------

         Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended
December 31, 1997 were made on January 29, 1998 in the aggregate amount of
$536,175 ($10.88 per limited partnership unit).

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Partners
Frederick Partners

         We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Frederick Partners
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related statements of operations,
partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's 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 Frederick Partners
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its operations, changes in
partners' equity and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


    Frederick Partners (the Partnership) was formed as a general partnership
    under the laws of the State of Maryland on March 20, 1989, for the purpose
    of constructing, owning and operating a rental housing project. The project
    consists of 314 units located in Frederick County, Maryland, and is
    operating as Crystal Park. During 1990, the construction of the first phase
    (Phase I) was completed and rental operations commenced. During 1991,
    construction of a second phase of the project (Phase II) was completed and
    rental operations commenced. All leases between the Partnership and tenants
    of the property are operating leases.

    Use of Estimates
    ----------------

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
    disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
    statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
    reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Investment in Real Estate
    -------------------------

    Investment in real estate is carried at cost. Management does not believe
    that there are any current facts or circumstances that would indicate
    impairment of the rental property in accordance with Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121. Depreciation is provided for in amounts
    sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their
    estimated service lives using accelerated methods.

    Rental Income
    -------------

    Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. Rental payments received
    in advance are deferred until earned.

    Income Taxes
    ------------
    No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in these
    financial statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and is
    reportable by, the partners individually.

NOTE C - PARTNERS' EQUITY

    The acquisition and development of Phase I was funded by capital
    contributions from Copley Pension Properties VI and VII, (CPP VI and VII),
    general partners, in the amounts of $9,000,000 and $3,000,000, respectively.
    The amended and restated Partnership agreement (the Agreement) provides for
    capital contributions to be characterized as senior and junior capital. CPP
    VI capital consists of $6,750,000 of senior capital and $2,250,000 of junior
    capital. CPP VII capital consists of $2,250,000 of senior capital and
    $750,000 of junior capital. Capital contributed by both CPP VI and CPP VII
    has been contributed pro rata, whereby 75% has been characterized as Phase I
    senior capital and 25% as Phase I junior capital.

    The Agreement provides for both a "Senior and Junior Priority Return," on a
    monthly basis, which is calculated at the rate of 10.09% per annum on the
    outstanding capital. The Phase I Priority Returns are payable monthly from
    Operating Cash Flow as defined in the Agreement; however, (a) to the extent
    Senior Priority Returns are required to be paid currently, they will be
    funded, if necessary, out of the proceeds of Deficit Contributions and
    Default Capital Contributions as defined in the Agreement, and (b) to the
    extent the full amount of the Junior

NOTE C - PARTNERS' EQUITY (Continued)

    Priority Return cannot be made from such sources on a monthly basis, the
    amount of the Junior Priority Return will accrue with interest compounded
    monthly.

    At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Phase I Junior Priority Return (including
    accrued interest of $1,015,108, $753,984, respectively) and Senior Priority
    Returns (including accrued interest at $5,775 and $5,916, respectively)
    payable totaled $2,827,913 (of which $2,132,315 was due to CPP VI and
    $695,598 was due to CPP VII) and $2,509,334, (of which $1,892,117 was due to
    CPP VI and $617,217 was due to CPP VII), respectively.

    The acquisition and development of Phase II was funded by capital
    contributions from CPP VI and CPP VII in the amounts of $5,100,000 and
    $1,700,000, respectively. The Agreement provides for capital contributions
    to be characterized as senior and junior capital. CPP VI capital consists of
    $3,825,000 of senior capital and $1,275,000 of junior capital. CPP VII
    capital consists of $1,275,000 of senior capital and $425,000 of junior
    capital. Capital contributed by both CPP VI and CPP VII has been contributed
    pro rata, whereby 75% has been characterized as Phase II senior capital and
    25% as Phase II junior capital.

    The Agreement provides for both a "Senior and Junior Priority Return," on a
    monthly basis, which is calculated at the rate of 10.09% per annum on their
    outstanding capital. The Phase II Priority Returns are payable monthly from
    Operating Cash Flow as defined in the Agreement, but, (a) to the extent
    Senior Priority Returns are required to be paid currently, they will be
    funded, if necessary, out of the proceeds of Deficit Contributions and
    Default Capital Contributions as defined in the Agreement, and (b) to the
    extent the full amount of the Junior Priority Return cannot be made from
    such sources on a monthly basis, the amount of the Junior Priority Return
    will accrue with interest compounded monthly.

    At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Phase II Junior Priority Return
    (including accrued interest of $368,415 and $253,360 respectively) and
    Senior Priority Returns payable totaled $1,340,067 (of which $1,000,804 was
