NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial
position as of June 30, 2001  and December 31, 2000, its results of operations,
and partners' capital for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000
and its cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

  See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 2000 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Partnership's
financial statements.

Note 1 - Organization and Business

  Copley Pension Properties VI; A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose
of investing primarily in newly constructed and existing income producing real
properties.  It primarily serves as an investment for qualified pension and
profit sharing plans and other organizations intended to be exempt from federal
income tax.  The Partnership commenced operations in July 1988, and acquired the
real estate investment it currently owns prior to the end of 1991.  It intends
to dispose of its investments within eight to twelve years of their acquisition,
and then liquidate; however, the managing general partner could extend the
investment period if it is considered to be in the best interest of the limited
partners.  The Partnership has engaged AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc. (the
"Advisor") to provide asset management advisory services.

Note 2 - Investment in Joint Venture

  On February 26, 2001, the Prentiss Copystar joint venture investment in which
the Partnership and an affiliate are 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, $2,901,743 after
closing costs, and recognized an initial gain on the sale of $972,678, which,
due to additional costs of sale, was decreased to $962,890 ($19.54 per Limited
Partnership Unit).  A disposition fee of $94,703 was accrued but not paid to the
Advisor.  On March 29, 2001, the Partnership made a capital distribution of
$2,683,340 ($55.00 per Limited Partnership Unit) from the proceeds of the sale.

 Summarized Financial Information

  The following summarized financial information is presented for the Prentiss

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership
interest on December 31, 1988.  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 and for
the payment of related acquisition costs, or retained as working capital
reserves.  The Partnership made seven real estate investments; one investment
was sold in each of 1990, 1994, 1997 and 2001 and two investments were sold in
1998.  Through June 30, 2001, capital of $41,762,527 ($856 per limited
partnership unit) has been returned to the limited partners; $38,877,693 as a
result of sales and $2,884,834, as a result of a discretionary reduction of
original working capital previously held in reserves.

          At June 30, 2001, the Partnership had $1,178,645 in cash and cash
equivalents, of which $315,397 was used for a distribution from operational cash
previously held in reserves to partners on July 26, 2001, the remainder is being
retained as working capital reserves. The source of future liquidity and cash
distributions to partners will primarily be cash generated by the Partnership's
invested cash and cash equivalents and its remaining real estate investment, and
proceeds from the sale of such investment. With the exception of the operational
cash distribution of reserves discussed above, there have been no operating cash
distributions made since the fourth quarter of 1999 due to Prentiss Copystar's
vacancy from September 1999 through August 2000 and its subsequent sale in
February 2001 as well as insufficient cash flow from Wilmington Industrial as a
result of property level obligations which reduced its cash flow to the
Partnership.

          The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial
statements is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's carrying value is
determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future cash
flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value.  The fair
market value of such investments is further reduced by the estimated cost of
sale for properties held for sale.  Carrying value may be greater or less than
current appraised value.  At June 30, 2001, the appraised value of the
Partnership's remaining investment exceeded its carrying value by approximately
$3,900,000. The current appraised value of the real estate investment has been
estimated by the managing general partner and is based on the amount negotiated
in the Purchase and Sale Agreement executed on July 5, 2001.

Results of Operations

     Form of Real Estate Investments

     The Wilmington Industrial investment is a wholly-owned property. The
Prentiss Copystar real estate investment was structured as a joint venture.
Prentiss Copystar was sold on February 26, 2001.

     Operating Factors

     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 $962,890. At the time of the
sale, Prentiss Copystar was 100% leased.

     The Partnership's remaining property, Wilmington Industrial, was 100%
leased at June 30, 2001 compared to 77% leased at June 30, 2000.

     Investment Results

     Interest income on cash equivalents for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001, was $26,466 and $57,287, respectively, compared to $30,910 and
$63,154 for the same periods in 2000. The decreases of approximately $4,000 and
$6,000 for the comparative three and six month periods are primarily due to
lower average investment balances.

     For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, real estate
operating results were $111,581 and $243,640, respectively, compared to $9,729
and $80,483 for the same periods in 2000. The increases of approximately
$102,000 and $163,000 for the comparative three and six month periods are
primarily due to an increase in joint venture earnings in 2001 as compared to
joint venture losses in 2000 due to Prentiss Copystar's vacancy in the second
quarter of 2000. Operating results from Wilmington Industrial have increased
between the comparative three and six month periods of 2001 and 2000 due to the
decrease in vacancy in 2001.

     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.

     The Partnership management fee increase during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2001, is due to the distribution of operational cash flow
previously held in reserves.

     During the respective three and six month periods of 2000 and 2001, general
administrative expenses remained relatively stable.
