                      FIDELITY LEASING INCOME FUND VI, L.P.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                June 30, 1998

                                  (Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
by the Fund in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal 
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  

1.  EQUIPMENT LEASED

    Equipment on lease consists primarily of computer equipment under operating 
    leases.  The lessees have agreements with the manufacturer to provide 
    maintenance for the leased equipment.  The Fund's operating leases are for 
    initial lease terms of 24 to 60 months.  Generally, operating leases will
    not recover all of the undepreciated cost and related expenses of its 
    rental equipment during the initial lease terms and the Fund is prepared to 
    remarket the equipment in future years.  Fund policy is to review quarterly 
    the expected economic life of its rental equipment in order to determine 
    the recoverability of its undepreciated cost.  Recent and anticipated 
    technological developments affecting computer equipment and competitive 
    factors in the marketplace are considered among other things, as part of 
    this review.  In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, 
    the Fund writes down its rental equipment to its estimated net realizable 
    value when the amounts are reasonably estimated and only recognizes gains 
    upon actual sale of its rental equipment.  As a result, $210,829 and 
    $92,671 was charged to write-down of equipment to net realizable value for 
    the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Any future 
    losses are dependent upon unanticipated technological developments 
    affecting the computer equipment industry in subsequent years.

    The Fund also has equipment leased under the direct financing method in
    accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13.  This
    method provides for recognition of income (the excess of the aggregate
    future rentals and estimated additional amounts recoverable upon expira-
    tion of the lease over the related equipment cost) over the life of the
    lease using the interest method.

    The net investment in direct financing leases as of June 30, 1998 is

2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    The General Partner receives 5% or 2% of gross rental payments from equip-
    ment under operating leases and full pay-out leases, respectively, for
    administrative and management services performed on behalf of the Fund.
    Full pay-out leases are noncancellable leases for which rental payments 
    during the initial term are at least sufficient to recover the purchase 
    price of the equipment, including acquisition fees.  This management fee
    is paid monthly only if and when the Limited Partners have received 
    distributions for the period from January 1, 1990 through the end of the 
    most recent quarter equal to a return for such period at a rate of 12% per 
    year on the aggregate amount paid for their units.

    The General Partner may also receive up to 3% of the proceeds from the sale 
    of the Fund's equipment for services and activities to be performed in 
    connection with the disposition of equipment.  The payment of this sales 
    fee is deferred until the Limited Partners have received cash distributions 
    equal to the purchase price of their units plus a 12% cumulative compounded 
    priority return.  Based on current estimates, it is not expected that the 
    Fund will be required to pay this sales fee to the General Partner.

    Additionally, the General Partner and its parent company are reimbursed by
    the Fund for certain costs of services and materials used by or for the
    Fund except those items covered by the above-mentioned fees.  Following is
    a summary of fees and costs of services and materials charged by the 
    General Partner or its parent company during the three and six months ended
    June 30, 1998 and 1997:

                      FIDELITY LEASING INCOME FUND VI, L.P.

Item 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Fidelity Leasing Income Fund VI, L.P. had revenues of $913,900 and 
$1,108,859 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively
and $1,969,919 and $2,465,581 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  Rental income from the leasing of equipment accounted for 94% 
and 96% of total revenues for the second quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively
and 93% of total revenues for both the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.
The decrease in total revenues in 1998 is primarily attributable to the 
decrease in rental income.  Rental income decreased approximately $920,000 in 
1998 because of equipment which came off lease and was re-leased at lower 
rental rates or sold.  This decrease, however, was mitigated by an increase in 
rental income of approximately $460,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
This increase resulted from rents generated on equipment purchases made since 
the second quarter of 1997 as well as rents recognized on 1997 second quarter 
equipment purchases for which a full six months was earned in 1998 and only a 
portion of the six months was earned in 1997.  Additionally, the Fund recog-
nized a net gain on sale of equipment of $62,587 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1998 compared to $107,016 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 which 
also accounts for the decrease in total revenues in the current period.

    Expenses were $952,450 and $1,060,358 for the three months ended June 30, 
1998 and 1997, respectively and $1,922,641 and $2,213,641 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Depreciation expense comprised 72% 
and 83% of total expenses for the second quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively 
and 73% and 83% of total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 
1997, respectively.  The decrease in expenses for the six months ended June 30, 
1998 as compared to the same period in 1997 is primarily attributable to a 
decrease in depreciation expense resulting from equipment which came off lease 
or was terminated and sold since June 1997.  The overall decrease in expenses 
was reduced by the increase in write-down of equipment to net realizable value.
Based upon the quarterly review of the recoverability of the undepreciated cost 
of rental equipment, the Fund charged $210,829 to operations to write down 
equipment to its estimated net realizable value for the six months ended June 
30, 1998 as compared to $92,671 for the same period in 1997.  Any future losses 
are dependent upon unanticipated technological developments affecting the 
computer equipment industry in subsequent years.  

    The Fund's net income (loss) was ($38,550) and $48,501 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively and $47,278 and $251,940 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The earnings (loss) per 
equivalent limited partnership unit, after earnings (loss) allocated to the 
General Partner, were ($1.34) and $1.63 based on a weighted average number of 
equivalent limited partnership units outstanding of 29,395 and 29,418 for the 
three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The earnings per 
equivalent limited partnership unit, after earnings allocated to the General 
Partner, were $1.55 and $8.48 based on a weighted average number of equivalent 
limited partnership units outstanding of 29,490 and 29,414 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Item 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

    The Fund generated cash from operations of $755,696 and $959,081, for
the purpose of determining cash available for distribution and distributed 3% 
of these amounts during the second quarter of both 1998 and 1997, and 7% and 5% 
of these amounts subsequent to June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  For the 
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Fund generated $1,608,237 and 
$2,071,476 of cash from operations and distributed 6% and 5% of these amounts 
during the first six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively and 3% and 2% of 
these amounts subsequent to June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

    The Fund continues the process of dissolution during 1998.  As provided in 
the Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, the assets of the Fund shall be 
liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining their fair value. 
During this period, the Fund will continue to purchase equipment for lease with 
cash available from operations which is not distributed to partners.  The Fund 
purchased $4,291,667 and $2,313,751 of equipment during the six months ended 
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The Fund also invested $718,038 in 
direct financing leases during the six months ended June 30, 1998.

    The cash position of the Fund is reviewed daily and cash is invested on a 
short-term basis.

    The Fund's cash from operations is expected to continue to be adequate to
cover all operating expenses and contingencies during the next twelve month 
period.
