                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                March 31, 2000

                                  (Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been pre-
pared by the Fund in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Prin-
ciples, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consist-
ing of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presen-
tation have been included

1.  EQUIPMENT LEASED

    Equipment on lease consists of equipment under operating leases.  The
    lessees have agreements with the manufacturer of the equipment to
    provide maintenance for the leased equipment.  The Fund's operating
    leases are for initial lease terms of 31 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 unde-
    preciated cost.  Recent and anticipated technological developments
    afffecting the 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, $48,376 was charged to write-down
    of equipment to net realizable value for the three months ended
    March 31, 1999.  There was no write-down of equipment to net realizable
    value recorded in the first quarter of 2000.  Any future losses are
    dependent upon unanticipated technological developments affecting the
    types of equipment in the portfolio 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 ag-
    gregate future rentals and unguaranteed residual upon expiration of
    the lease over the related equipment cost) over the life of the lease
    using the interest method.  The Fund's direct financing leases are for
    initial lease terms ranging from 33 to 60 months.

    Unguaranteed residuals for direct financing leases represent the esti-
    mated amounts recoverable at lease termination from lease extensions
    or disposition of the equipment.  The Fund reviews these residual
    values quarterly.  If the equipment's fair market value at lease expi-
    ration is below the estimated residual value, an adjustment is made.

                                            ========        ==========

    Subsequent to March 31, 2000, the Fund invested in a direct financing
    lease of approximately $1,111,000 for an initial lease term of 29 months.
    The minimum lease payments to be received on this lease are $357,000 in
    2000, $476,000 in 2001 and $317,000 in 2002.

2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    The General Partner receives 5% or 2% of rental payments on 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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

    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
    months ended March 31:
                                               2000                 1999

          Reimbursable costs                  36,470               49,997

    Amounts due from related parties at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
    represent monies due the Fund from the General Partner and/or other
    affiliated funds for rentals and sales proceeds collected and not yet
    remitted to the Fund.

    Amounts due to related parties at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
    represent monies due to the General Partner and/or its parent company
    for the fees and costs mentioned above, as well as, rentals and sales
    proceeds collected by the Fund on behalf of other affiliated funds.

3.  CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

    The General Partner declared and paid three cash distributions of
    $25,000 each subsequent to March 31, 2000 for the months ended
    January 31, February 29 and March 31, 2000 to all admitted partners
    as of January 31, February 29 and March 31, 2000.

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 $344,674 and
$515,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Rental income from the leasing of equipment accounted for 60% and 50% of
total revenues for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The
decrease in total revenues in 2000 was primarily attributable to a decrease
in net gain on sale of equipment.  The Fund did not record a net gain on sale
of equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2000 but recorded
$151,000 of net gain on sale of equipment during the three months ended
March 31, 1999.  Additionally, the decrease in rental income in the first
quarter of 2000 also contributed to the overall decrease in revenues.  Rental
income decreased by approximately $48,000 because of equipment under oper-
ating leases that came off lease or was sold since the first quarter of 1999.
The overall decrease in revenues was mitigated by the increase in earned
income on direct financing leases.  During the last quarter of 1999, the
Fund invested in a direct financing lease of approximately $3.7 million
that generated earned income.  As a result, the Fund recognized $107,941
of earned income on direct financing leases for the first quarter of 2000
compared to $68,055 for the first quarter of 1999.

    Expenses were $286,138 and $351,927 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Depreciation expense comprised 62%
and 57% of total expenses during the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respec-
tively.  The decrease in expenses was primarily related to the decrease in
write-down of equipment to net realizable value.  Based upon the quarterly
review of the recoverability of the undepreciated cost of rental equipment,
there was no charge to operations to write down equipment to its estimated
net realizable value during the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared
to $48,376 of write-down of equipment to net realizable value recorded for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.  Any future losses are dependent upon
unanticipated technological developments affecting the types of equipment in
the portfolio in subsequent years.  Additionally, the decrease in depreci-
ation expense in the first quarter of 2000 also contributed to the overall
decrease in expenses.  Depreciation expense decreased during the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to March 31, 1999 because of equipment under
operating leases that came off lease or was sold since the first quarter
of 1999.

    For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Fund had net
income of $58,536 and $163,759, respectively.  The net income per equiva-
lent limited partnership unit, after net income allocated to the General
Partner, was $1.95 and $5.49 based on a weighted average number of
equivalent limited partnership units outstanding of 29,609 and 29,514
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

    The Fund generated cash from operations of $247,721 and $261,013
for the purpose of determining cash available for distribution during the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  There were no cash
distributions made to partners during the first quarter of 2000 and 1999
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.  However, the General
Partner declared and paid three cash distributions of $25,000 each during
the first quarter of 2000 for the months ended October 31, November 30 and
December 31, 1999.  Subsequent to March 31, 2000 and 1999, 30% and 29% of
the cash available from operations was paid to partners for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  For financial statement pur-
poses, the Fund records cash distributions to partners on a cash basis in
the period in which they are paid.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

    The Fund continues the process of dissolution during 2000.  As pro-
vided 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 time, the Fund will continue to look for
opportunities to purchase equipment under operating leases or invest in
direct financing leases with cash available from operations which was not
distributed to partners in prior periods.

    Subsequent to March 31, 2000, the Fund invested in a direct financing
lease of approximately $1,111,00 for an initial lease term of 29 months
commencing in April 2000.

    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.
