| Registrant, DSI Realty Income Fund XI (the "Partnership") is a publicly-held limited partnership organized under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act pursuant to a Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (hereinafter referred to as "Agreement") dated December 7, 1988. The General Partners are DSI Properties, Inc., a California corporation, and RJC Capital Management, LLC and JWC Capital Management, LLC. | |
| DSI Properties, Inc. is an affiliate of Diversified Securities, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSI Financial, Inc. The General Partners provide similar services to other partnerships. Through its public offering of Limited Partnership Units, the Partnership sold twenty thousand (20,000) units of limited partnership interests, aggregating Million Dollars ($10,000,000). The General Partners have retained a one percent (1%) interest in all profits, losses and distributions (subject to certain conditions), without making any capital contribution to the Partnership. The General Partners are not required to make any capital contributions to the Partnership in the future. | |
| The Partnership has entered into four joint venture arrangements with affiliates of Dahn Corporation (Dahn). The Partnership and its joint venture partners have acquired mini-storage properties located in Whittier, California; Edgewater, New Jersey; Bloomingdale, Illinois; and Sterling Heights, Michigan. The properties were acquired from Dahn. | |
| Pursuant to the terms of each joint venture agreement, annual profits (before depreciation) of each joint venture will be allocated to the Joint Venture Partners on the basis of actual distributions received, while annual losses (before depreciation) are to be allocated in proportion to the ownership percentages as specified below. Cash distributions are to be made to each Joint Venture Partner based upon each Joint Venture Partner’s ownership percentage. However, the Joint Venture Partners have subordinated their rights to any distributions to the Partnership’s receipt of an annual, noncumulative, 8% return (7.75% for the Whittier Mini Property) from the operation of the joint ventures. A non-controlling interest in real estate joint venture is recorded to the extent of any distributions due to the Joint Venture Partners. As of March 31, 2014, no non-controlling interest in real estate joint venture was recorded as the requirements under the subordination agreement had not been met. The Joint Venture Partners are also entitled to receive a percentage, based upon a pre-determined formula, of the net proceeds from the sale of the properties. | |
| The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Partnership's management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |
| Significant Accounting Policies | |
| The Partnership has adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 comprehensive income equaled net income, as the Partnership had no other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, accumulated other comprehensive income was $0. | |
| ASC 825-10 (formerly SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Partnership. The Partnership considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization. | |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
| In April 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-07 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting in order to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The amendments are effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. | |
| In February 2013 the FASB issued ASU 2013-04 Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date, in order to provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The amendments in the Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. |
