                                     ------
     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.

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

          As of December 31, 2001 the Partnership had disposed of all its real
     estate property investments. The Partnership plans to liquidate and
     dissolve in 2002. The Partnership sold its last two remaining assets in
     2001, as described below. The Partnership sold seven real estate
     investments between 1990 and 2001. The principal terms of these sales are
     set forth in the following table:

          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 further 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
     consisted primarily of approximately 5.77 acres of land in Carson,
     California and a 115,732 square foot multi-tenant industrial building
     located thereon.

          On August 8, 2001, the Partnership sold its Wilmington Industrial
     investment to an unaffiliated third party for gross proceeds of $8,217,781.
     The Partnership received net proceeds of $7,914,742. On September 28, 2001,
     the Partnership made a capital distribution of $7,025,472 ($144.00 per
     Unit) from the proceeds of the sale. At the time of sale, the building was
     100% leased.

          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 (the
     "Developer"). As of December 31, 2000, the Partnership had contributed
     $2,739,013 to the capital of the joint venture, which included default
     contributions made on behalf of the Developer, of which $63,563 had been
     returned to the Partnership. Of the capital contributed and not returned,
     $1,542,848 was characterized as Senior Capital, $690,000 was characterized
     as Junior Capital and $442,602 was characterized as Deficit and Default
     Contributions. The joint venture agreement entitled the Partnership to
     receive a preferred compounded monthly return of 11% per annum on capital
     contributed. The return on Senior Capital was payable currently, the return
     on Junior Capital, Deficit and Default Contributions accrued and compounded
     monthly if sufficient cash flow was not available therefor. If the Senior
     Capital was repaid prior to the termination of the joint venture, the
     Partnership was entitled to receive a return on the Senior Capital at the
     lesser of 11% per annum or the interest 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 entitled 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, both of which were adjusted to 61.64% as a result of its
     Default Contributions, in accordance with the joint venture agreement.

          The joint venture owned 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.

          On February 26, 2001, the Prentiss Copystar joint venture investment
     in which the Partnership and the Affiliate were entitled to 69% and 31%,
     respectively, of the operating activity, sold its property to an
     unaffiliated third party for gross proceeds of $4,575,000, of which the
     Partnership's share was $3,156,750 ($64.06 per Unit). The Partnership
     received its 69% share of the net proceeds in the amount of $3,049,698
     after closing costs. On March 29, 2001, the Partnership made a capital
     distribution of $2,683,340 ($55.00 per Unit) from the proceeds of the sale.
     At the time of sale, the building was 100% leased.

Item 2. Properties
        ----------

          The Partnership has disposed of all its real property investments.

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

          The Partnership is not a party to, nor are any of its properties
subject to, any material pending legal proceedings.

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, 2001, there were 6,045 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.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, cash distributions paid in 2001 or
distributed after year end with respect to 2001 to the Limited Partners totaled
$11,215,873, including $9,708,812 of returned capital from the proceeds of sales
of real property and $1,507,061, of returned capital from original working
capital and operating reserves. There were no cash distributions paid that
related to the year ended December 31, 2000 due to insufficient cash flows from
the properties.

          Cash distributions in 2001 exceeded net income in 2001 and therefore
resulted in a reduction of partners' capital. Distributions of operating cash
flow exceeded cash generated by operating activities. There were no cash
distributions paid in 2000 that relate to the year ended December 31, 2000. Net
income in 2000 resulted in an increase in partners' capital. Reference is made
to the Partnership's Statements of Partners' Capital and Statements of Cash
Flows in Item 8 hereof.

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

Accounting Policies
-------------------

          Revenue Recognition

          The Partnership recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis
over the lease terms.

          The Partnership accounts for its investments in joint ventures using
the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the net
equity investment of the Partnership is reflected on the balance sheets, and the
Partnership's share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included in
the statements of operations.

          The Partnership records real estate sales at the time a sale is
consummated. A sale is consummated when the parties are bound by the terms of a
contract, all consideration has been exchanged, all conditions precedent to
closing have been met, and title has passed from seller to buyer.

          Liquidation Basis of Accounting

          The Partnership adopted a plan of liquidation on December 31, 2001,
and, as a result, the Partnership also adopted the liquidation basis of
accounting which, among other things, requires that assets and liabilities be
stated at their estimated net realizable value and that estimated costs of
liquidating the Partnership be provided to the extent that they are reasonably
determinable. Accrued expenses for liquidation as of December 31, 2001 include
estimates of costs to be incurred in carrying out the dissolution and
liquidation of the Partnership. These costs include estimates of legal fees,
accounting fees, tax preparation and filing fees and other professional
services. The actual costs could vary from the related provisions due to the
uncertainty related to the length of time required to complete the liquidation
and dissolution of the Partnership. The accrued expenses do not take into
consideration possible litigation arising from the customary representations and
warranties made as part of each sale. Such costs, if any, are unknown and are
not estimable at this time. Similarly, there can be no assurance as to the
timing of a distribution of the Partnership's assets or the amount of assets
that will be distributed to the Partnership's Unit holders.

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

          The Partnership completed its offering of Units 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. As of December 31, 2001, the
Partnership had sold all of its real estate investments: one investment was sold
in each of 1990, 1994 and 1997, two investments were sold in 1998 and two
investments were sold in 2001. Through December 31, 2001, capital of $48,788,000
($1,000.00 per Unit) has been returned to the limited partners: $45,903,165 as a
result of sales and $2,884,835 as a result of a discretionary reduction of
original working capital previously held in reserves.

At December 31, 2001, the Partnership had $1,008,448 in cash and cash
equivalents which is being retained primarily as a reserve in connection with
the liquidation of the Partnership. A capital distribution of original working
capital previously held in reserves was made on April 26, 2001 in the amount of
$24.49 per Unit. A distribution of operational cash previously held in reserves
was made on July 26, 2001 in the amount of $6.40 per Unit. There were no cash
distributions paid in 2000 that relate to the year ended December 31, 2000 due
to insufficient cash flow from the properties. One property had just become
fully occupied during the third quarter of 2000 and the other remaining property
had reduced its cash flow to the Partnership due to payments of capital
expenditures.

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

          Form of Real Estate Investments

          The Wilmington Industrial investment, which was structured as a
wholly-owned property, was sold on August 8, 2001. The Prentiss Copystar
investment, which was structured as a joint venture, was sold on February 26,
2001.

          Operating Factors

          As mentioned above, the Wilmington Industrial investment was sold on
August 8, 2001 and the Partnership recognized a gain of $3,702,297. Wilmington
Industrial was 100% leased at the time of the sale, as it was on December 31,
2000.

          As mentioned above, the Prentiss Copystar joint venture investment in
which the Partnership and an affiliate were entitled to 69% and 31% of the
operating activity, respectively, sold its property on February 26, 2001. The
Partnership recognized its 69% share of the gain of $953,693. Prentiss Copystar
was 100% leased at the time of the sale as it was on December 31, 2000.

          Investment Activity

          Interest income on cash and cash equivalents in 2001 decreased by
approximately $24,000 or 19% compared to 2000 primarily due to lower average
investment balances as a result of the sales of Prentiss Copystar in February
2001 and Wilmington Industrial in August 2001 as well as the distributions
during 2001 of cash previously held in reserves. Interest income on cash and
cash equivalents in 2000 decreased by approximately $14,000 or 10% compared to
1999 due primarily due to lower average investment balances as a result of the
joint venture's property being vacant for eight months of 2000 versus three
months of vacancy in 1999.

<PAGE>

          2001 Compared to 2000

          Total real estate operations for 2001 was $235,133, a decrease from
$425,789 for the comparable period of 2000. The decrease of approximately
$191,000, or 45%, is primarily due to the sale of Wilmington Industrial in
August 2001.

          The Partnership recognized $656,290 in revenue during 2001, which was
attributable to an adjustment of previously accrued disposition fees, in
accordance with the Partnership agreement.

          2000 Compared to 1999

          Total real estate operations for 2000 was $425,789, a decrease from
$457,162 for the comparable period of 1999. The decrease of approximately
$30,000, or 7%, is due to lower joint venture earnings due to Prentiss Copystar
being vacant for eight months of 2000 versus three months of vacancy in 1999
offset by an overall increase in Wilmington Industrial's operations. The
increase in Wilmington Industrial's operations is due to an increase in
occupancy and lower operating expenses offset by an increase in depreciation and
amortization expenses.

          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 partner. General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of real estate appraisal, printing, legal, accounting and
investor servicing fees.

          2001 Compared to 2000

          The Partnership incurred management fees in 2001 of $31,193 as a
result of a distribution of operational cash previously held in reserves.
General and administrative expenses in 2001 were $164,562 compared to $180,335
for the comparable period in 2000. The decrease of $15,773 is due to lower
investor servicing and appraisal fees during 2001.

          2000 Compared to 1999

          The Partnership did not incur management fees during the year ended
December 31, 2000 due to the suspension of cash distributions as a result of the
joint venture's property being vacant during the first eight months of 2000 and
the other remaining property having reduced its cash flow to the Partnership due
to payments of capital expenditures. General and administrative expenses in 2000
remained relatively stable in comparison to 1999.

Inflation
---------

          By their nature, real estate investments tend not to be adversely
affected by inflation. Inflation may result in appreciation in the value of 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 effect inflation
may have on the value of the Partnership's investments.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
         ----------------------------------------------------------

          The Partnership was not party to derivative financial instruments or
derivative commodity instruments at or during the years ended December 31, 2001
and 2000.

                        Report of Independent Accountants

     To the Partners of Copley Pension Properties VI; A Real Estate Limited
     Partnership:

     In our opinion, 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, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its
     operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
     ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally
     accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are
     the responsibility of Sixth Copley Corp., the Managing General Partner of
     the Partnership (the "Managing General Partner"); our responsibility is to
     express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
     conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing
     standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Partnership adopted
     a plan of liquidation on December 31, 2001 and as a result changed its
     basis of accounting for periods subsequent to December 31, 2001 from the
     going concern basis to the liquidation basis of accounting.

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 the Advisor pursuant to an advisory
contract.

     The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEW Capital Management, L.P., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Nvest Companies, L.P. (the "Company"). On October 30,
2000, Paris-based CDC IXIS Asset Management ("CDCIAM") acquired the Company and
its affiliated partnership, Nvest, L.P. (the "Acquisition"). Subsequently, the
Company's name was changed to CDC IXIS Asset Management North America, LP.
CDCIAM is the investment management arm of France's CDC IXIS, a subsidiary of
Caisse des Depots Group ("CDC").

     The Acquisition was accomplished through CDCIAM's wholly owned subsidiary,
CDC IXIS Asset Management US Corporation ("CDCIAM US Corp."), which has a 99%
direct limited partnership interest in the Company and is the sole owner of the
Company's 1% general partner, CDC IXIS Asset Management US, LLC.

     Prior to the Acquisition, the Company was owned by Nvest, L.P. ("Nvest"), a
publicly traded limited partnership with an approximate 15 percent interest, and
by private unitholders. The general partner of Nvest and the managing general
partner of the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company ("MetLife"). In total, MetLife owned approximately 48% of the
partnership units of the Company at October 30, 2000 (including those owned
indirectly through ownership of Nvest units). Upon the consummation of the
Acquisition on October 30, 2000, all unitholders received cash in exchange for
each unit owned. Nvest, whose primary asset was its ownership of Nvest
Companies' units, was merged with and into the Company on December 31, 2000,
with the Company as the surviving entity.

     Management
     ----------

     The 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 AEW 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 ($17,000 in each of 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively). 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

                                       19

<PAGE>

limited partners of their capital contributions plus a stipulated return
thereon. Based on the Partnership's returns to date and the sale of the
Partnership's last two remaining investments during 2001, the Managing General
Partner determined that, in accordance with the Partnership agreement, a portion
of such previously accrued fees, $656,290, would be reversed in 2001, while the
remainder of the accrued fees, $807,989, was paid to the Advisor on November 26,
2001. Deferred disposition fees were $0 and $1,369,577 at December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively.

         New England Securities Corporation ("NESC"), an indirect subsidiary
of Met Life during 2000 and 1999, was engaged by the Partnership to act as its
unitholder servicing agent. Fees and out-of-pocket expenses for such services
totaled $11,376 and $11,187 in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

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

        Revenue Recognition
        -------------------

          The Partnership recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis
over the lease terms.

          The Partnership accounts for its investments in joint ventures using
the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the net
equity investment of the Partnership is reflected on the balance sheets, and the
Partnership's share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included in
the statements of operations.

          The Partnership records real estate sales at the time a sale is
consummated. A sale is consummated when the parties are bound by the terms of a
contract, all consideration has been exchanged, all conditions precedent to
closing have been met, and title has passed from seller to buyer.



        Liquidation Basis of Accounting
        --------------------------------

         In connection with its adoption of a plan of liquidation on December
31, 2001, the Partnership also adopted the liquidation basis of accounting
which, among other things, requires that assets and liabilities be stated at
their estimated net realizable value and that estimated costs of liquidating the
Partnership be provided to the extent that they are reasonably determinable.

         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), were 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. Economic equity was measured by the
excess of the appraised value of the property over the Partnership's total cash
investment plus accrued preferential returns thereon. The Partnership recorded
an amount equal to 100% of the operating results of each joint venture, after
the elimination of all inter-entity transactions, except for the venture which
included an affiliate of the Partnership, which had substantial economic equity
in its project.

         Property
         --------

         Property included land and buildings, which were 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 equaled the Partnership's carrying value of the prior investment on the
conversion date.

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

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

                                       20

<PAGE>

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

           Leases provided for rental increases over the respective lease terms.
Rental revenue was being recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease
terms.

           Realizability of Real Estate Investments
           ----------------------------------------

           The Partnership considered a real estate investment to be impaired
when it determined the carrying value of the investment was not recoverable
through expected undiscounted cash flows generated from the operations and
disposition of the property. The impairment loss was 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 included estimated costs of
sale. Property held for sale was not depreciated during the holding period.
Investments were considered to be held for disposition at the time management
committed the Partnership to a plan to dispose of the investment.

           Cash Equivalents
           ----------------

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

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

           Disposition fees due to the Advisor 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 was deferred until the limited partners first received their capital
contributions, plus stipulated returns thereon. See Note 1 for discussion of the
reduction and payment of such fees.

           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.

           Segment Data
           ------------

         Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments on an Enterprise
and Related Information" (FAS 131). Based on the criteria established in FAS
131, the Managing General Partner has determined that the Partnership operates
in one operating segment: investing in real estate properties which are
domiciled in the United States of America.

                                       21

<PAGE>

Note 3 - Accrued Expenses for Liquidation
-----------------------------------------

         Accrued expenses for liquidation as of December 31, 2001 include
estimates of costs to be incurred in carrying out the dissolution and
liquidation of the Partnership. These costs include estimates of legal fees,
accounting fees, tax preparation and filing fees and other professional
services. As of December 31, 2001 the Partnership accrued $115,425 for such
expenses.

         The actual costs could vary from the related provisions due to the
uncertainty related to the length of time required to complete the liquidation
and dissolution of the Partnership. The accrued expenses do not take into
consideration possible litigation arising from the customary representations and
warranties made as part of each sale. Such costs, if any, are unknown and are
not estimable at this time.

Note 4 - 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; the latter property was subsequently sold in 1997. In
1998, the White Phonic and Waterford Apartments joint ventures sold their
properties in July and August, respectively. The Prentiss Copystar investment
was sold in February 2001. The Partnership committed to make capital
contributions to the ventures, which were 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 provided 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 did not contribute proportionately.

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

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

  Itasca, IL


         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 (the
"Affiliate"), to develop and operate an industrial facility. The Partnership and
its Affiliate initially had a collective 75% interest in the joint venture. The
Partnership committed to make a maximum capital contribution of $2,300,000 but
subsequently made additional contributions classified as deficit contributions
as well as contributions on behalf of the affiliate of Prentiss Properties,
classified as Default Contributions. The Default Contributions subsequently
increased the Partnership and its Affiliate's collective interest to 89.34% as
of December 31, 2000. The preferential return related to $690,000 was payable
currently only to the extent of available cash flow. If $1,610,000, or any
portion thereof, was returned to the Partnership between the second and tenth
anniversary of the joint venture agreement, the return would be increased by an
amount sufficient to preserve the stipulated rate of return through the tenth
anniversary.

                                       22

<PAGE>

           On February 26, 2001, the Prentiss Copystar joint venture investment
in which the Partnership and the Affiliate were entitled to 69% and 31%,
respectively, of the operating activity, sold its property to an unaffiliated
third party for gross proceeds of $4,575,000, of which the Partnership's share
was $3,156,750. The Partnership received its 69% share of the net proceeds,
$3,049,698 after closing costs, and had recognized a gain on the sale of
$953,693. ($19.35 per Unit). A disposition fee of $94,703 was accrued but not
paid to the Advisor. In accordance with the Partnership agreement, a portion of
this previously accrued fee was reversed during the third quarter of 2001,
decreasing the fee to $44,826. On March 29, 2001, the Partnership made a capital
distribution of $2,683,340 ($55.00 per Unit) from the proceeds of the sale.

Note 5 - 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. In 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 August 8, 2001, the Partnership sold its Wilmington Industrial
investment to an unaffiliated third party for gross proceeds of $8,217,781. The
Partnership received net proceeds of $7,914,742 and had recognized a gain on the
sale of $3,702,297 ($75.13 per Unit). On September 28, 2001, the Partnership
made a capital distribution of $7,025,472 ($144.00 per Unit) from the proceeds
of the sale.

           The following is a summary of the Partnership's investment in
Wilmington Industrial:

Note 7 - 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.

           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 Unit was reduced from $1,000 to $951.83 during 1990, from
$951.83 to $768.98 during 1994, from $768.98 to $660.29 during 1997, from
$660.29 to $228.20 during 1998, from $228.20 to $223.49 during 1999, and from
$223.49 to $0 in 2001. 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.

                       Report of Independent Accountants

To the Partners of
Prentiss/Copley Itasca Associates:


In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations, of partners' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Prentiss/Copley Itasca Associates
(the "Partnership") at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, 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
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   ORGANIZATION

     Prentiss/Copley Itasca Associates (the "Partnership") was formed effective
     May 20, 1991, pursuant to a general partnership agreement between Prentiss
     Properties Itasca, L.P. (the "Developer") (25%), as managing partner;
     Copley Pension Properties VI, a Real Estate Limited Partnership ("CPP 6")
     (51.75%); and Copley Pension Properties VII, a Real Estate Limited
     Partnership ("CPP 7") (23.25%), for the purpose of owning, constructing and
     operating an industrial building in Itasca, Illinois. The interests of each
     partner change as default capital contributions are made. See Note 5 for
     further discussion of default capital contributions.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Real estate

     Real estate is carried at the lower of depreciated cost or net realizable
     value. Management of the Partnership periodically reviews the carrying
     value of the property to determine if circumstances exist indicating an
     impairment in the carrying value of the investment in real estate or that
     depreciation periods should be modified. If facts or circumstances support
     the possibility of impairment, management of the Partnership will prepare a
     projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges,
     of the property and determine if the investment in real estate is
     recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. Management of the
     Partnership does not believe that there are any factors or circumstances
     indicating impairment of the property. Depreciation on the building and
     improvements is provided under the straight-line method over an estimated
     useful life of 35 years.

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
     renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a
     fixed asset, the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed
     from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in operations.

     Deferred charges

     Tenant improvements and leasing charges are deferred and amortized on a
     straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Accumulated
     amortization was $10 at December 31, 2000.

     Cash and cash equivalents

     For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consists of
     cash on hand and investments with maturities of three months or less when
     purchased.

     Leases

     The Partnership, as a lessor, has retained substantially all of the risks
     and benefits of ownership and accounts for the lease as an operating lease.
     Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
     lease as it is earned. Accruable rental income represents rental income
     earned in excess of rent payments received pursuant to the terms of the
     lease agreement.

      Income taxes

      No provision for income taxes is necessary in the financial statements of
      the Partnership because, as a partnership, it is not subject to income tax
      and the tax effect of its activities accrues to the individual partners.

      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 revenues and expenses
      during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
      estimates.

5.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      The operations of the Partnership are managed by an affiliate of the
      Developer in accordance with a management agreement. Management fees
      charged to the Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2000 and
      1999, totaled approximately $4 and $8, respectively.

      The partnership agreement provides for a priority return, which has been
      reflected in the financial statements as a payment of interest, on the
      capital contributions made by CPP 6 and CPP 7; interest is charged at a
      rate of 11% per annum. The partnership agreement provides for a senior and
      a junior priority return. As prescribed by the partnership agreement the
      senior priority return is paid annually and, if necessary, funded from
      deficit contributions while the junior return may accrue. The junior
      priority return has been accrued by the Partnership since September 1999
      and is reflected in amounts due to affiliates at December 31, 2000 and
      1999 as shown in the table below.

      If a partner fails to make a deficit contribution within the time
      specified, the remaining partners may contribute the funds necessary to
      meet the Partnership's obligations. Such contributions are referred to as
      default capital contributions. If default capital contributions are made,
      the interest of each partner is recalculated in accordance with the
      partnership agreement.

      During 2000 and 1999, CPP 6 and CPP 7 contributed a total of $555 and $85,
      respectively, which are being treated as deficit and default capital
      contributions. Per the partnership agreement, the deficit and default
      capital contributions earn an 11% return which may accrue should the
      property not have enough cash flow to pay the return. At December 31,
      2000, CPP 6 and CPP 7 earned approximately $32 on these contributions.
      This amount is reflected in amounts due to affiliates as shown below.
