                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Unaudited)


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Consolidated
Capital Properties VI ("the Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of ConCap Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner"), all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996.

Investments

Investments consisting primarily of U.S. Treasury Notes with original maturities
of more than ninety days, are considered to be held-to-maturity securities.

NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all of the Partnership
activities, as provided in the Partnership agreement.

The Partnership has paid property management fees based upon collected gross
rental revenues for property management services in each of the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  Property management fees of approximately
$40,000 and $39,000 were paid to affiliates of the General Partner for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  These property management
fees are included in operating expenses.

The Partnership Agreement also provides for reimbursement to the General Partner
and its affiliates for costs incurred in connection with the administration of
Partnership activities.  Reimbursements for services of affiliates of
approximately $26,000 and $25,000 were paid to the General Partner and its
affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
These reimbursements are primarily included in general and administrative
expenses.

In July 1995, the Partnership began insuring its properties under a master
policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the General Partner.  An
affiliate of the General Partner acquired, in the acquisition of a business,
certain financial obligations from an insurance agency which was later acquired
by the agent who placed the current year's master policy.  The current agent
assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the General Partner who
receives payment on these obligations from the agent.  The amount of the
Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the
General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.

NOTE C - COMMITMENT

The Partnership is required to maintain working capital reserves for
contingencies of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital as defined in the
Partnership Agreement.  In the event expenditures are made from these reserves,
operating revenue shall be allocated to such reserves to the extent necessary to
maintain the foregoing level. Cash and cash equivalents, tenant security
deposits and investments, totaling approximately $1,881,000, are less than the
reserve requirement of approximately $2,266,000 at March 31, 1997.  The
Partnership intends to replenish working capital reserves from cash flow from
operations after consideration of any capital improvement needs of the
properties.  The working capital requirement must be met prior to any
consideration for distributions to the partners.

NOTE D - CHANGE IN STATUS OF NON-CORPORATE GENERAL PARTNER

During the year ended December 31, 1991, the Partnership Agreement was amended
to convert the General Partner interests held by the non-corporate General
Partner, Consolidated Capital Group II ("CCG"), to that of a special Limited
Partner ("Special Limited Partner").  The Special Limited Partner does not have
a vote and does not have any of the other rights of a Limited Partner except the
right to inspect the Partnership's books and records; however, the Special
Limited Partner will retain the economic interest in the Partnership which it
previously owned as general partner.

ConCap Equities, Inc. ("CEI") became the sole general partner of the Partnership
effective December 31, 1991.  In connection with CCG's conversion, a special
allocation of gross income was made to the Special Limited Partner in order to
eliminate its tax basis negative capital account.

After the conversion, the various Special Limited Partners transferred portions
of their interests to CEI so that CEI now holds a .2% interest in all allocable
items of income, loss and distribution.  The difference between the Special
Limited Partner's capital accounts for financial statement and tax reporting
purposes is being amortized to the Limited Partners' capital account as the
components of the timing differences which created the balance reverse.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The Partnership's investment properties consist of two apartment complexes.  The
following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the six
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996:


                                     Occupancy for the Six Months Ended
                                                  March 31,
                                         1997                   1996
Celina Plaza Apartments
   El Paso, Texas                         89%                    88%
Colony of Springdale Apartments
   Springdale, Ohio                       90%                    88%

The Partnership realized a net loss of approximately $124,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to a net loss of approximately $92,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increased net loss is due primarily
to increased operating and interest expenses, partially offset by decreased
maintenance expenses and increased rental revenues.

Rental revenues increased slightly due to rental rate increases and an increase
in occupancy resulting from ongoing property improvements at both Celina Plaza
Apartments and Colony of Springdale Apartments.  Operating expenses increased
primarily due to higher utility costs at Colony of Springdale.  The increase in
interest expense resulted from increased cash flow payments on the third
mortgage wrap note secured by Celina Plaza.  Maintenance expenses were higher
during the three months ended March 31, 1996 due to extensive painting being
done at Celina Plaza.

Included in maintenance expenses is approximately $5,000 of repairs and
maintenance comprised primarily of repairs to one unit at Celina Plaza due to
minor fire damage, which was not covered by insurance, for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.  For the three months ended March 31, 1996, approximately
$10,000 of repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of exterior building
improvements are included in maintenance expenses.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner
monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment properties to
assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy
levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses.  As part of
this plan, the General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the
burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and
maintaining a high overall occupancy level.  However, due to changing market
conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental
reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the
General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

At March 31, 1997, the Partnership held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents
of approximately $1,491,000 compared to approximately $1,426,000 at March 31,
1996.  Net cash provided by operating activities decreased slightly due to
increased operating expenses and interest expense.  Net cash used in investing
activities decreased due to non-recurring receipts received in 1996 from the
replacement reserve for improvements made at the Colony of Springdale Apartments
favorably impacting 1996 cash flows.

The Partnership is required to maintain working capital reserves for
contingencies of not less than 5% of Net Invested Capital as defined in the
Partnership Agreement.  In the event expenditures are made from these reserves,
operating revenue shall be allocated to such reserves to the extent necessary to
maintain the foregoing level. Cash and cash equivalents, tenant security
deposits and investments, totaling approximately $1,881,000, are less than the
reserve requirement of approximately $2,266,000 at March 31, 1997.  The
Partnership intends to replenish working capital reserves from cash flow from
operations after consideration of any capital improvement needs of the
properties.  The working capital requirement must be met prior to any
consideration for distributions to the partners.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical assets
and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are currently thought
to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.  The mortgage
indebtedness of approximately $10,134,000, net of discounts, matures at various
times with balloon payments due at maturity, at which time the properties will
either be sold or the mortgages refinanced.  Future cash distributions will
depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, capital expenditure
requirements, property sales and the availability of cash reserves.  The
mortgage indebtedness of approximately $5,681,000, net of discount, secured by
Celina Plaza, matures in July of 1997.  The General Partner is currently in
negotiations with the existing lender to obtain a workout on these mortgages and
is also exploring the possibility of refinancing this debt.  There can be no
assurance, however that these negotiations will be successful.  No cash
distributions were declared or paid during the first three months of 1997 or
1996.
