                                   (Unaudited)

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements of Shelter Properties VI (the
"Partnership" or  "Registrant")  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.  The general
partner  responsible  for  management of the  Partnership's  business is Shelter
Realty VI Corporation ("the Corporate General  Partner").  The Corporate General
Partner  is  a  subsidiary  of  Apartment   Investment  and  Management  Company
("AIMCO"),  a publicly traded real estate  investment  trust. The  non-corporate
general partner,  AIMCO Properties,  L.P., is also an affiliate of AIMCO. In the
opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments  (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included.  Operating  results for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending  December 31,  2004.  For further  information,  refer to the
financial  statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144,
"Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or  Disposal  of  Long-Lived   Assets",   the
accompanying  statements of  operations  for the three and six months ended June
30, 2003 have been restated to reflect the  operations of Nottingham  Square and
River Reach Apartments as income from discontinued  operations.  The Partnership
sold Nottingham  Square  Apartments to an unrelated third party in December 2002
and  entered  into a contract to sell River  Reach  Apartments  to a third party
during the third quarter of 2004 at a sale price of  approximately  $32,000,000.
In accordance  with SFAS No. 144, the assets and liabilities of River Reach have
been classified as held for sale at June 30, 2004.

Note B - Reconciliation of Cash Flows

The following,  as required by the Partnership Agreement, is a reconciliation of
"Net cash provided by operating  activities" on the  accompanying  statements of
cash  flows  to "Net  cash  from  operations",  as  defined  in the  partnership
agreement of the Partnership (the "Partnership  Agreement").  However, "Net cash
from  operations"  should not be considered an  alternative  to net income as an
indicator  of the  Partnership's  operating  performance  or to cash  flows as a
measure of liquidity.

At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Corporate General Partner reserved  approximately
$239,000  and  $883,000,  respectively,  to  fund  capital  improvements  at its
properties.

Note C - Casualty Event

In August 2002,  Carriage  House  Apartments  experienced  an  electrical  fire,
causing damage to two units and an outside storage building.  A casualty gain of
approximately  $19,000 was  recorded  during the three and six months ended June
30, 2003, due to the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately  $25,000 net
of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $6,000.

Note D - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The  Partnership  has no employees  and is dependent  on the  Corporate  General
Partner  and  its  affiliates  for  the  management  and  administration  of all
Partnership  activities.  The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  for (i) certain
payments to affiliates for services and (ii)  reimbursement  of certain expenses
incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

Affiliates of the Corporate  General Partner are entitled to receive 5% of gross
receipts from all of the Partnership's  properties as compensation for providing
property   management   services.   The  Partnership  paid  to  such  affiliates
approximately $132,000 for both of the six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and
2003 which is  included  in  operating  expenses  and income  from  discontinued
operations.

Affiliates  of  the  Corporate   General  Partner  received   reimbursements  of
accountable  administrative  expenses  amounting  to  approximately  $82,000 and
$143,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which is
included in general  and  administrative  expenses  and  investment  properties.
Included in these amounts are fees related to construction  management  services
provided by an  affiliate  of the  Corporate  General  Partner of  approximately
$5,000  and  $13,000  for  the  six  months   ended  June  30,  2004  and  2003,
respectively. The construction management service fees are calculated based on a
percentage of current additions to investment properties.

Pursuant  to the  Partnership  Agreement  and in  connection  with  the  sale of
Foxfire/Barcelona  Village  during  2000 and  Nottingham  Square  Apartments  in
December 2002, the Corporate  General  Partner is entitled to a commission of up
to 1% for its assistance in the sale.  Payment of such commission is subordinate
to the limited  partners  receiving a cumulative 7% return on their  investment.
This  return  has not yet  been  met,  and  accordingly,  the  combined  fees of
approximately $342,000 have been accrued and are included in due to affiliates.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, an affiliate of the Corporate General
Partner  advanced the  Partnership  approximately  $250,000 to cover  additional
costs related to the sale of Nottingham Square Apartments.  Interest was charged
at prime plus 1% (5% at June 30, 2004) and amounted to approximately $3,000. The
entire  balance of the loan plus interest was repaid during the same period.  No
such advances were made during the six months ended June 30, 2003.

The  Partnership  insures its properties up to certain  limits through  coverage
provided by AIMCO which is  generally  self-insured  for a portion of losses and
liabilities  related to workers  compensation,  property  casualty  and  vehicle
liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through
insurance  policies  obtained  by  AIMCO  from  insurers  unaffiliated  with the
Corporate  General Partner.  During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
the  Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates  approximately  $49,000
and $75,000,  respectively,  for  insurance  coverage and fees  associated  with
policy claims and administration.

Note E - Contingencies

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the
State of  California  for the  County  of San  Mateo.  The  plaintiffs  named as
defendants,  among others,  the Partnership,  its Corporate  General Partner and
several of their  affiliated  partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action
purported  to  assert  claims  on  behalf  of a class of  limited  partners  and
derivatively  on behalf  of a number  of  limited  partnerships  (including  the
Partnership)  that are named as nominal  defendants,  challenging,  among  other
things,  the  acquisition  of interests  in certain  Corporate  General  Partner
entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc.  ("Insignia") and entities that were,
at one  time,  affiliates  of  Insignia;  past  tender  offers  by the  Insignia
affiliates to acquire limited partnership units;  management of the partnerships
by the  Insignia  affiliates;  and the series of  transactions  which  closed on
October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby  Insignia and Insignia  Properties
Trust,  respectively,  were merged into AIMCO.  The plaintiffs  sought  monetary
damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership.
In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint (the "Heller action")
was filed  against  the same  defendants  that are named in the  Nuanes  action,
captioned  Heller v.  Insignia  Financial  Group.  On or about  August 6,  2001,
plaintiffs filed a first amended  complaint.  The Heller action was brought as a
purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach
of fiduciary  duty,  unfair  competition,  conversion,  unjust  enrichment,  and
judicial dissolution.

On January 8, 2003,  the parties filed a  Stipulation  of Settlement in proposed
settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action.

In general  terms,  the  proposed  settlement  provides  for  certification  for
settlement  purposes of a settlement class consisting of all limited partners in
this  Partnership and others (the  "Partnerships")  as of December 20, 2002, the
dismissal  with  prejudice  and  release  of claims  in the  Nuanes  and  Heller
litigation,  payment by AIMCO of $9.9  million  (which shall be  distributed  to
settlement  class  members  after  deduction of attorney fees and costs of class
counsel and certain costs of settlement) and up to $1 million toward the cost of
independent  appraisals of the  Partnerships'  properties  by a Court  appointed
appraiser. An affiliate of the Corporate General Partner has also agreed to make
at least one round of tender offers to purchase all of the partnership interests
in the Partnerships within one year of final approval,  if it is granted, and to
provide  partners with the independent  appraisals at the time of these tenders.
The proposed  settlement also provided for the limitation of the allowable costs
which  the  Corporate   General  Partner  or  its  affiliates  will  charge  the
Partnerships  in connection with this litigation and imposes limits on the class
counsel  fees and  costs in this  litigation.  On April  11,  2003,  notice  was
distributed  to  limited   partners   providing  the  details  of  the  proposed
settlement.

On June 13, 2003, the Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered
judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions.  On August 12, 2003, an objector
("Objector")  filed an  appeal  seeking  to  vacate  and/or  reverse  the  order
approving the settlement and entering  judgment  thereto.  On November 24, 2003,
the Objector filed an  application  requesting the Court order AIMCO to withdraw
settlement  tender offers it had  commenced,  refrain from making further offers
pending the appeal and auction any units tendered to third  parties,  contending
that the offers did not conform  with the terms of the  Settlement.  Counsel for
the Objector (on behalf of another  investor)  had  alternatively  requested the
Court take certain  action  purportedly  to enforce the terms of the  settlement
agreement.  On December 18, 2003,  the Court heard oral  argument on the motions
and denied them both in their entirety.

On January 28, 2004,  Objector filed his opening brief in his pending appeal. On
April 23,  2004,  the  Corporate  General  Partner  and its  affiliates  filed a
response brief in support of the settlement and the judgment thereto. Plaintiffs
have also filed a brief in support of the settlement.  On June 4, 2004, Objector
filed a reply to the briefs by the Corporate General Partner and Plaintiffs.  No
hearing has been scheduled in the matter.

The  Corporate  General  Partner  does  not  anticipate  that  any  costs to the
Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will
be material to the Partnership's overall operations.

On August 8, 2003 AIMCO Properties  L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate  General
Partner,  was served  with a  complaint  in the United  States  District  Court,
District of Columbia alleging that AIMCO Properties L.P.  willfully violated the
Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime
for all hours  worked in excess of forty per week.  On March 5, 2004  Plaintiffs
filed an amended complaint also naming NHP Management Company,  which is also an
affiliate  of the  Corporate  General  Partner.  The  complaint  is  styled as a
Collective  Action  under  the FLSA and seeks to  certify  state  subclasses  in
California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs
contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to compensate  maintenance workers for
time  that they were  required  to be  "on-call".  Additionally,  the  complaint
alleges AIMCO  Properties  L.P.  failed to comply with the FLSA in  compensating
maintenance  workers  for time that they  worked in  responding  to a call while
"on-call".  The defendants have filed an answer to the amended complaint denying
the  substantive  allegations.  Some  discovery  has taken place and  settlement
negotiations  continue.  Although the outcome of any  litigation  is  uncertain,
AIMCO  Properties,  L.P. does not believe that the ultimate  outcome will have a
material  adverse  effect on its  financial  condition or results of  operations
taken as a whole. Similarly, the Corporate General Partner does not believe that
the ultimate  outcome will have a material  adverse effect on the  Partnership's
financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

The  Partnership  is unaware  of any other  pending  or  outstanding  litigation
matters  involving  it or its  investment  properties  that are not of a routine
nature arising in the ordinary course of business.
Note E - Contingencies (continued)

As  previously  disclosed,  the  Central  Regional  Office of the United  States
Securities and Exchange  Commission is conducting an  investigation  relating to
certain  matters.  AIMCO  believes the areas of  investigation  include  AIMCO's
miscalculated   monthly  net  rental  income  figures  in  third  quarter  2003,
forecasted  guidance,  accounts payable,  rent concessions,  vendor rebates, and
capitalization of expenses and payroll.  AIMCO is cooperating  fully. AIMCO does
not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated  financial  condition  or results of  operations  taken as a whole.
Similarly,  the  Corporate  General  Partner  does not believe that the ultimate
outcome  will have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Partnership's  financial
condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance
and the effect of government  regulations.  Actual results may differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a
variety of risks and factors including,  without limitation:  national and local
economic  conditions;  the terms of  governmental  regulations  that  affect the
Registrant and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment
in which the Registrant operates;  financing risks, including the risk that cash
flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal
and interest;  real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and
the general  economic  climate in local markets and  competition  for tenants in
such markets;  litigation,  including  costs  associated  with  prosecuting  and
defending  claims  and  any  adverse   outcomes,   and  possible   environmental
liabilities.   Readers  should  carefully  review  the  Registrant's   financial
statements and the notes thereto,  as well as the risk factors  described in the
documents  the  Registrant  files  from  time to time  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.

The Partnership's investment properties consist of four apartment complexes, one
of which is  classified  as held for  sale at June  30,  2004 (as  discussed  in
"Results of Operations").  The following table sets forth the average  occupancy
of the remaining  properties  for each of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and
2003:

                                                             Average

       Property                                        2004          2003

       Rocky Creek Apartments
         Augusta, Georgia                              94%            93%

       Carriage House Apartments (1)
         Gastonia, North Carolina                      91%            86%

       Village Gardens Apartments (1)
         Fort Collins, Colorado                        83%            74%

(1)   The Corporate General Partner attributes the increase in average occupancy
      at Carriage House and Village  Gardens  Apartments to increased  marketing
      efforts by the local management at the properties.

The  Partnership's  financial  results  are  dependent  upon a number of factors
including  the  ability  to  attract  and  maintain  tenants  at the  investment
properties,  interest  rates on mortgage  loans,  costs  incurred to operate the
investment  properties,  general economic conditions and weather. As part of the
ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Corporate General Partner monitors
the  rental  market  environment  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
Corporate 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,  the Corporate  General Partner may use
rental  concessions  and  rental  rate  reductions  to offset  softening  market
conditions,  accordingly,  there  is no  guarantee  that the  Corporate  General
Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.  Further, a number of factors which
are outside the control of the  Partnership  such as the local economic  climate
and weather can  adversely  or  positively  impact the  Partnership's  financial
results.

Results of Operations

The Partnership realized a net loss of approximately  $27,000 and $3,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2004,  respectively,  compared to net income
of  approximately  $60,000 and  $270,000 for the three and six months ended June
30, 2003, respectively. The decrease in net income for both periods is primarily
due to a decrease in income from discontinued operations.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144,
"Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or  Disposal  of  Long-Lived   Assets",   the
accompanying  statements of  operations  for the three and six months ended June
30, 2003 have been restated to reflect the  operations of Nottingham  Square and
River Reach Apartments as income from discontinued  operations.  The Partnership
sold Nottingham  Square  Apartments to an unrelated third party in December 2002
and  entered  into a contract to sell River  Reach  Apartments  to a third party
during the third quarter of 2004 at a sale price of  approximately  $32,000,000.
In accordance  with SFAS No. 144, the assets and liabilities of River Reach have
been classified as held for sale at June 30, 2004.

Income from discontinued operations is approximately $31,000 and $76,000 for the
three and six  months  ended  June 30,  2004,  respectively,  and  approximately
$130,000  and  $358,000  for the  three  and six  months  ended  June 30,  2003,
respectively.  Included in the income from discontinued  operations are revenues
of approximately $712,000 and $1,430,000 for the three and six months ended June
30, 2004, respectively,  and approximately $716,000 and $1,432,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2003,  respectively.  In addition, the income from
discontinued  operations  for the  three  and six  months  ended  June 30,  2003
includes a refund of property tax of approximately $193,000 and the write off of
expense  reserves of  approximately  $74,000 for Nottingham  Square  Apartments,
which sold in December 2002.

The Partnership  recognized a loss from continuing  operations of  approximately
$58,000  and  $79,000  for the  three  and  six  months  ended  June  30,  2004,
respectively,  compared  to a loss of $70,000  and $88,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2003,  respectively.  The decrease in loss from continuing
operations  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2004 is due to an increase in
total  revenues,  and a decrease in total  expenses.  The  decrease in loss from
continuing  operations  for the six  months  ended June 30,  2004,  is due to an
increase in total revenues, partially offset by an increase in total expenses.

Total revenues increased for both the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2004 due to increases in rental and other income  partially offset by a decrease
in casualty gain. Rental income increased due to increases in occupancy at Rocky
Creek, Carriage House, and Village Gardens Apartments and an increase in average
rental rates at Rocky Creek Apartments, partially offset by reduced rental rates
at  Carriage  House and  Village  Gardens  Apartments.  Other  income  increased
primarily  due to an  increase  in  utility  reimbursements  at  Carriage  House
Apartments.

In August 2002,  Carriage  House  Apartments  experienced  an  electrical  fire,
causing damage to two units and an outside storage building.  A casualty gain of
approximately  $19,000 was  recorded  during the three and six months ended June
30, 2003, due to the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately  $25,000 net
of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $6,000.

Total  expenses  decreased  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  2004 due to
decreases in general and  administrative  and interest expenses partially offset
by an increase in operating  expense.  Interest expense  decreased for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 due to fluctuations in the variable interest rates at
Rocky Creek and Carriage  House  Apartments and increased  amortization  of loan
costs at Carriage House Apartments.  Total expenses increased for the six months
ended June 30 2004, due to an increase in operating  expenses,  partially offset
by  a  decrease  in  general  and  administrative  expenses.  Operating  expense
increased  for the three and six months  ended June 30, 2004 due to increases in
maintenance, property and administrative expenses. Maintenance expense increased
primarily  due to an  increase  in  contract  services  at Village  Gardens  and
Carriage House Apartments.  Property expense increased primarily due to salaries
and related  benefits at Carriage  House  Apartments  and  utilities at Carriage
House and Village Gardens Apartments. Administrative expense increased primarily
due to an increase  in training  and travel  expense at Village  Gardens,  Rocky
Creek, and Carriage House Apartments.

General and administrative expenses decreased for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2004 due to a decrease in the costs of services  included in management
reimbursements to the Corporate General Partner as allowed under the Partnership
Agreement.  Also included in general and  administrative  expenses for both June
30,  2004  and  2003  are  costs   associated  with  the  quarterly  and  annual
communications  with  investors  and  regulatory  agencies  and the annual audit
required by the Partnership Agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2004 the Partnership had cash and cash  equivalents of approximately
$267,000  compared to  approximately  $1,503,000 at June 30, 2003. Cash and cash
equivalents  increased  approximately  $12,000  since  December  31, 2003 due to
approximately  $464,000 of cash  provided  by  operating  activities,  partially
offset by  approximately  $260,000 and  $192,000 of cash used in  financing  and
investing activities,  respectively. Cash used in financing activities consisted
of principal payments on the mortgages encumbering the Partnership's  properties
and  repayments on advances  from  affiliate  partially  offset by advances from
affiliate.  Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements
and  replacements  and net  deposits to  restricted  escrows  maintained  by the
mortgage  lenders.  The  Partnership  invests  its working  capital  reserves in
interest bearing accounts.

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  properties  to  adequately  maintain the physical
assets and other  operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal,
state,  and local  legal and  regulatory  requirements.  The  Corporate  General
Partner  monitors  developments in the area of legal and regulatory  compliance.
For example,  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act of 2002  mandates or suggests  additional
compliance  measures  with  regard to  governance,  disclosure,  audit and other
areas.  In light of these changes,  the  Partnership  expects that it will incur
higher expenses related to compliance, including increased legal and audit fees.
Capital  improvements  planned  for  each of the  Partnership's  properties  are
detailed below.

Rocky Creek Apartments

During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2004,  the   Partnership   completed
approximately   $32,000  in  capital  improvements  at  Rocky  Creek  Apartments
primarily  consisting of floor  covering  replacements.  The  improvements  were
funded  from  operating  cash  flow.  The  Partnership   evaluates  the  capital
improvement  needs of the  property  during  the year and  currently  expects to
complete an additional $34,000 in capital  improvements  during the remainder of
2004.  Additional capital  improvements may be considered and will depend on the
physical  condition  of  the  property  as  well  as  replacement  reserves  and
anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

Carriage House Apartments

During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2004,  the   Partnership   completed
approximately  $6,000 in  capital  improvements  at  Carriage  House  Apartments
primarily  consisting of floor covering  replacements.  These  improvements were
funded  from  operating  cash  flow.  The  Partnership   evaluates  the  capital
improvement  needs of the  property  during  the year and  currently  expects to
complete an additional $50,000 in capital  improvements  during the remainder of
2004.  Additional capital  improvements may be considered and will depend on the
physical  condition  of  the  property  as  well  as  replacement  reserves  and
anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

River Reach Apartments

During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2004,  the   Partnership   completed
approximately   $84,000  in  capital  improvements  at  River  Reach  Apartments
primarily  consisting  of floor  covering  replacements,  plumbing  fixtures and
furniture and fixtures. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow.
The Partnership has entered into a contract to sell River Reach  Apartments to a
third party during the third quarter of 2004.

Village Gardens Apartments

During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2004,  the   Partnership   completed
approximately  $33,000 in capital  improvements  at Village  Gardens  Apartments
consisting  primarily of water heater upgrades and floor covering  replacements.
These  improvements  were  funded  from  operating  cash flow.  The  Partnership
evaluates  the capital  improvement  needs of the  property  during the year and
currently  expects to complete  an  additional  $45,000 in capital  improvements
during the remainder of 2004.  Additional capital improvements may be considered
and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement
reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

The additional  capital  expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available
from  operations  and  Partnership  reserves.  To the extent that such  budgeted
capital improvements are completed,  the Partnership's  distributable cash flow,
if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

The  Partnership's  assets are thought to be sufficient  for any near term needs
(exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage encumbering
Village Gardens Apartments of approximately  $4,126,000 matures in January 2021,
at which time the  mortgage is scheduled to be fully  amortized.  The  mortgages
encumbering Rocky Creek and Carriage House Apartments aggregating  approximately
$4,085,000  have a maturity  date of  September  1, 2007 at which  time  balloon
payments  totaling  approximately  $3,736,000  are due.  The  Corporate  General
Partner has the option to extend the  maturity  on the Rocky Creek and  Carriage
House Apartments  loans for another five years.  After that period the Corporate
General  Partner  will attempt to refinance  such  indebtedness  and/or sell the
properties  prior to the optional  extended  maturity  date.  If the  properties
cannot be refinanced or sold, the  Partnership  will risk losing such properties
through foreclosure.

The Partnership  distributed  the following  amounts during the six months ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands except per unit data):

The  Partnership's  cash  available  for  distribution  is reviewed on a monthly
basis. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated
from  operations,  the  availability  of cash  reserves,  and the timing of debt
maturities,  refinancings, and/or property sales. There can be no assurance that
the Partnership will generate  sufficient funds from operations,  after required
capital  improvements,  to permit any  distributions  to its partners during the
remainder of 2004 or subsequent periods.

Other

In addition to its indirect  ownership of the general  partner  interests in the
Partnership,  AIMCO and its affiliates  owned 28,425 limited  partnership  units
(the "Units") in the Partnership representing 67.16% of the outstanding Units at
June 30, 2004. A number of these Units were  acquired  pursuant to tender offers
made by AIMCO or its  affiliates.  It is possible  that AIMCO or its  affiliates
will acquire  additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and
units in AIMCO  Properties,  L.P., the operating  partnership  of AIMCO,  either
through  private  purchases  or  tender  offers.  Pursuant  to  the  Partnership
Agreement,  unitholders  holding a majority  of the Units are  entitled  to take
action with  respect to a variety of matters that  include,  but are not limited
to,  voting on certain  amendments  to the  Partnership  Agreement and voting to
remove the Corporate General Partner.  As a result of its ownership of 67.16% of
the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all
such voting  decisions with respect to the  Partnership.  Although the Corporate
General  Partner  owes  fiduciary   duties  to  the  limited   partners  of  the
Partnership,  the Corporate  General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO
as its sole  stockholder.  As a  result,  the  duties of the  Corporate  General
Partner,  as  managing  general  partner,  to the  Partnership  and its  limited
partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Corporate General Partner
to AIMCO, as its sole stockholder.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial  statements are prepared in accordance with accounting  principles
generally  accepted in the United States which require the  Partnership  to make
estimates and  assumptions.  The  Partnership  believes that of its  significant
accounting  policies,  the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and
complexity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Investment  properties  are  recorded at cost,  less  accumulated  depreciation,
unless  considered  impaired.  If  events  or  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying  amount of a property may be  impaired,  the  Partnership  will make an
assessment of its  recoverability  by estimating  the  undiscounted  future cash
flows,  excluding  interest  charges,  of the property.  If the carrying  amount
exceeds the aggregate  future cash flows,  the  Partnership  would  recognize an
impairment  loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the
property.

Real  property  investments  are  subject  to varying  degrees of risk.  Several
factors  may  adversely  affect  the  economic  performance  and  value  of  the
Partnership's investment properties.  These factors include, but are not limited
to, changes in national,  regional and local economic climate; local conditions,
such  as  an  oversupply  of  multifamily  properties;  competition  from  other
available  multifamily  property owners and changes in market rental rates.  Any
adverse  changes in these  factors could cause  impairment of the  Partnership's
assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.
Rental income  attributable to leases is recognized monthly as it is earned. The
Partnership  evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an
allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than
30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.
The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or
in response to heavy  competition from other similar  complexes in the area. Any
concessions  given at the inception of the lease are amortized  over the life of
the lease.

Item 3.     Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Partnership's management,  with the
participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer
of the Corporate  General Partner,  who are the equivalent of the  Partnership's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer,  respectively,  has
evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  the  Partnership's  disclosure  controls  and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)  under the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end
of the period covered by this report.  Based on such  evaluation,  the principal
executive  officer and  principal  financial  officer of the  Corporate  General
Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership's principal executive officer
and principal  financial officer,  respectively,  have concluded that, as of the
end of such period,  the  Partnership's  disclosure  controls and procedures are
effective.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial  Reporting.  There have not been any changes
in the Partnership's  internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  under the Exchange  Act) during the
fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have  materially  affected,  or
are reasonably likely to materially affect,  the Partnership's  internal control
over financial reporting.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the
State of  California  for the  County  of San  Mateo.  The  plaintiffs  named as
defendants,  among others,  the Partnership,  its Corporate  General Partner and
several of their  affiliated  partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action
purported  to  assert  claims  on  behalf  of a class of  limited  partners  and
derivatively  on behalf  of a number  of  limited  partnerships  (including  the
Partnership)  that are named as nominal  defendants,  challenging,  among  other
things,  the  acquisition  of interests  in certain  Corporate  General  Partner
entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc.  ("Insignia") and entities that were,
at one  time,  affiliates  of  Insignia;  past  tender  offers  by the  Insignia
affiliates to acquire limited partnership units;  management of the partnerships
by the  Insignia  affiliates;  and the series of  transactions  which  closed on
October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby  Insignia and Insignia  Properties
Trust,  respectively,  were merged into AIMCO.  The plaintiffs  sought  monetary
damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership.
In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint (the "Heller action")
was filed  against  the same  defendants  that are named in the  Nuanes  action,
captioned  Heller v.  Insignia  Financial  Group.  On or about  August 6,  2001,
plaintiffs filed a first amended  complaint.  The Heller action was brought as a
purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach
of fiduciary  duty,  unfair  competition,  conversion,  unjust  enrichment,  and
judicial dissolution.

On January 8, 2003,  the parties filed a  Stipulation  of Settlement in proposed
settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action.

In general  terms,  the  proposed  settlement  provides  for  certification  for
settlement  purposes of a settlement class consisting of all limited partners in
this  Partnership and others (the  "Partnerships")  as of December 20, 2002, the
dismissal  with  prejudice  and  release  of claims  in the  Nuanes  and  Heller
litigation,  payment by AIMCO of $9.9  million  (which shall be  distributed  to
settlement  class  members  after  deduction of attorney fees and costs of class
counsel and certain costs of settlement) and up to $1 million toward the cost of
independent  appraisals of the  Partnerships'  properties  by a Court  appointed
appraiser. An affiliate of the Corporate General Partner has also agreed to make
at least one round of tender offers to purchase all of the partnership interests
in the Partnerships within one year of final approval,  if it is granted, and to
provide  partners with the independent  appraisals at the time of these tenders.
The proposed  settlement also provided for the limitation of the allowable costs
which  the  Corporate   General  Partner  or  its  affiliates  will  charge  the
Partnerships  in connection with this litigation and imposes limits on the class
counsel  fees and  costs in this  litigation.  On April  11,  2003,  notice  was
distributed  to  limited   partners   providing  the  details  of  the  proposed
settlement.

On June 13, 2003, the Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered
judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions.  On August 12, 2003, an objector
("Objector")  filed an  appeal  seeking  to  vacate  and/or  reverse  the  order
approving the settlement and entering  judgment  thereto.  On November 24, 2003,
the Objector filed an  application  requesting the Court order AIMCO to withdraw
settlement  tender offers it had  commenced,  refrain from making further offers
pending the appeal and auction any units tendered to third  parties,  contending
that the offers did not conform  with the terms of the  Settlement.  Counsel for
the Objector (on behalf of another  investor)  had  alternatively  requested the
Court take certain  action  purportedly  to enforce the terms of the  settlement
agreement.  On December 18, 2003,  the Court heard oral  argument on the motions
and denied them both in their entirety.

On January 28, 2004,  Objector filed his opening brief in his pending appeal. On
April 23,  2004,  the  Corporate  General  Partner  and its  affiliates  filed a
response brief in support of the settlement and the judgment thereto. Plaintiffs
have also filed a brief in support of the settlement.  On June 4, 2004, Objector
filed a reply to both briefs in support of the settlement  and judgment  entered
thereto. No hearing has been scheduled in the matter.

The  Corporate  General  Partner  does  not  anticipate  that  any  costs to the
Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will
be material to the Partnership's overall operations.

On August 8, 2003 AIMCO Properties  L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate  General
Partner,  was served  with a  complaint  in the United  States  District  Court,
District of Columbia alleging that AIMCO Properties L.P.  willfully violated the
Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime
for all hours  worked in excess of forty per week.  On March 5, 2004  Plaintiffs
filed an amended complaint also naming NHP Management Company,  which is also an
affiliate  of the  Corporate  General  Partner.  The  complaint  is  styled as a
Collective  Action  under  the FLSA and seeks to  certify  state  subclasses  in
California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs
contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. failed to compensate  maintenance workers for
time  that they were  required  to be  "on-call".  Additionally,  the  complaint
alleges AIMCO  Properties  L.P.  failed to comply with the FLSA in  compensating
maintenance  workers  for time that they  worked in  responding  to a call while
"on-call".  The defendants have filed an answer to the amended complaint denying
the  substantive  allegations.  Some  discovery  has taken place and  settlement
negotiations  continue.  Although the outcome of any  litigation  is  uncertain,
AIMCO  Properties,  L.P. does not believe that the ultimate  outcome will have a
material  adverse  effect on its  financial  condition or results of  operations
taken as a whole. Similarly, the Corporate General Partner does not believe that
the ultimate  outcome will have a material  adverse effect on the  Partnership's
financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

Exhibit 31.1


                                  CERTIFICATION


I, Martha L. Long, certify that:


1.    I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Shelter Properties
      VI;

2.    Based on my knowledge,  this report does not contain any untrue  statement
      of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to make the
      statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
      were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the period  covered by this
      report;

3.    Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and other  financial
      information  included  in this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material
      respects the financial condition,  results of operations and cash flows of
      the small  business  issuer as of, and for, the periods  presented in this
      report;

4.    The  small  business  issuer's  other  certifying  officer(s)  and  I  are
      responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls and
      procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for
      the small business issuer and have:

      (a)   Designed such  disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused such
            disclosure   controls  and  procedures  to  be  designed  under  our
            supervision,  to ensure that  material  information  relating to the
            small business issuer, including its consolidated  subsidiaries,  is
            made  known to us by  others  within  those  entities,  particularly
            during the period in which this report is being prepared;
