PART I
Item l. BUSINESS
Registrant, DSI Realty Income Fund IX (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 March 6, 1985, as amended and
restated to November 1, 1985. The General Partners are DSI Properties, Inc., a
California corporation, Robert J. Conway and Joseph W. Conway, brothers. The
General Partners are affiliates 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,
Registrant sold thirty thousand six hundred ninety-three (30,693) units of
limited partnership interests aggregating Fifteen Million Three Hundred
Forty-Six Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($15,346,500) The General Partners have
retained a one percent (l%) 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. Registrant is engaged in the
business of investing in and operating mini-storage facilities with the primary
objectives of generating, for its partners, cash flow, capital appreciation of
its properties, and obtaining federal income tax deductions so that during the
early years of operations, all or a portion of such distributable cash may not
represent taxable income to its partners. Funds obtained by Registrant during
the public offering period of its units were used to acquire five mini-storage
facilities, as well as a joint venture interest with an affiliated Partnership
(DSI Realty Income Fund VIII, a California Limited Partnership) in which the
Partnership has a 70% interest in a mini-storage facility located in Aurora,
Colorado. Registrant does not intend to sell additional limited partnership
units. The term of the Partnership is fifty years but it is anticipated that
Registrant will sell and/or refinance its properties prior to the termination of
the Partnership. The Partnership is intended to be self-liquidating and it is
not intended that proceeds from the sale or refinancing of its operating
properties will be reinvested. Registrant has no full time employees but shares
one or more employees with other publicly-held limited partnerships sponsored by
the General Partners. The General Partners are vested with authority as to the
general management and supervision of the business and affairs of Registrant.
Limited Partners have no right to participate in the management or conduct of
such business and affairs. An independent management company has been retained
to provide day-to-day management services with respect to all of the
Partnership's investment properties.
Average occupancy levels for each of the Partnership's properties for the
years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 are as follows:
Location of Property Average Occupancy Average Occupancy
Level for the Level for the
Year Ended Year Ended
Dec. 31, 2000 Dec. 31, 1999
Azusa, CA 85% 81%
Elgin, IL 81% 81%
Everett, WA 82% 82%
Monterey Park, CA 89% 88%
Romeoville, IL 78% 75%
Aurora, CO* 86% 88%
*The Partnership owns a 70% interest in this facility.
The business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive.
Each of its mini-storage facilities is located in or near a major urban area,
and accordingly, competes with a significant number of individuals and
organizations with respect to both the purchase and sale of its properties and
for rentals. Generally, Registrant's business is not affected by the change in
seasons.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
Registrant owns a fee interest in five mini-storage facilities, as well as
a 70% interest in a joint venture with an affiliated partnership (DSI Realty
Income Fund VIII, a California Limited Partnership) which joint venture owns a
mini-storage facility, none of which are subject to long-term indebtedness. The
following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2000 regarding
properties owned by the Partnership.

expenses increased from $1,833,773 to $1,863,988, other income decreased from
$10,891 to $7,676 and minority interest in income of the real estate joint
venture decreased from $122,453 to $121,220. As a result of these fluctuations,

levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 83.8% for
the year ended December 31, 2000 and 82.4% for the year ended December 31,
1999. The Partnership is continuing its advertising campaign to attract and
keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. The approximate
$32,800 (4.1%) increase in operating expenses was due primarily to increases
in real estate tax, salaries and wages, workers compensation insurance and
security alarm service expenses partially offset by decreases yellow pages
advertising costs, maintenance and repair and power and sweeping expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $19,700 (12.4%)
primarily as a result of increases in legal and professional and office supplies
and printing expenses. General Partners' incentive management fees decreased
approximately $6,900 (5.0%). These fees, which are based on cash distributions

in net income. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by approx-
imately $62,800 (3.7%) in 1999 compared to 1998 primarily as a result of the
decrease in net income. Cash used in financing activities, as set forth in

the minority interest in the Partnership's real estate joint venture. Special
distributions of 1.5%, 2% and 1% was declared and paid on December 15, 2000,
1999 and 1998.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
DSI Realty Income Fund IX:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DSI Realty Income Fund IX, a
California Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes
in partners' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2000. Our audits also included the financial state-
ment schedule listed in the Index at Item 14. 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 in accordance with generally accepted in the
United States of America. Those standards 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.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signif-
icant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reason-
able basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of DSI Realty Income Fund IX
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 principlesgenerally accepted in the United States
of America. Also in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX
(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000
1. GENERAL
DSI Realty Income Fund IX, a California Real Estate Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), has three general partners (DSI Properties, Inc.,
Robert J. Conway and Joseph W. Conway) and limited partners owning 30,693
limited partnership units which were purchased for $500 a unit. The
general partners have made no contribution to the Partnership and are not
required to make any capital contribution in the future. The Partnership
has a maximum life of 50 years and was formed on April 12, 1985 under the
California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of
acquiring and operating real estate.
The Partnership has acquired five mini-storage facilities located in
Monterey Park and Azusa, California; Everett, Washington;and Romeoville and
Elgin, Illinois. The Partnership also entered into a joint venture with
DSI Realty Income Fund VIII through which the Partnership has a 70%
interest in a mini-storage facility in Aurora, Colorado. The facilities
were acquired from Dahn Corporation ("Dahn"). Dahn is not affiliated with
the Partnership. Dahn is affiliated with other partnerships in which
DSI Properties, Inc., Robert J. Conway and Joseph W. Conway are the general
partners. The mini-storage facilities are operated for the Partnership
by Dahn under various agreements which are subject to renewal annually.
Under the terms of the agreements, the Partnership is required to pay
Dahn a property management fee equal to 5% of gross revenue from
operations, defined as the entire amount of all receipts from the renting
or leasing of storage compartments and sale of locks.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of DSI Realty Income Fund IX and its 70 percent-owned
real estate joint venture. All significant intercompany accounts and trans-
actions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Partnership classifies its short-term
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as
cash equivalents.
Property and Depreciation - Property is recorded at cost and is composed
primarily of mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is provided for using
the straight-line method over an estimated useful life ranging from 15 to
20 years for the facilities. Improvements are depreciated over a five-year
period.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999
amounts to conform to the 2000 presentation.
Income Taxes - No provision has been made for income taxes in the
accompanying financial statements. The taxable income or loss of the
Partnership is allocated to each partner in accordance with the terms of
the Agreement of Limited Partnership. Each partner's tax status, in turn,
determines the appropriate income tax for its allocated share of the
Partnership's taxable income or loss. The net difference between the basis
of the Partnership's assets and liabilities for federal income tax purposes
and as reported for financial statement purposes is $1,785,403.
Revenues - Rental revenue is recognized using the accrual method based on
contractual amounts provided for in the lease agreements, which
approximates recognition on a straight-line basis. The term of the lease
agreements is usually less than one year.
Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit - Net income per limited
partnership unit is computed by dividing the net income allocated to the
limited partners by the weighted average number of limited partnership
units outstanding during each year (30,693 in 2000, 1999 and 1998).
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires the Partnership's management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of 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.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Partnership regularly reviews long-
lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the
carrying amount of the asset, the Partnership would recognize an impairment
to the extent the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the property.
No impairment losses were required in 2000, 1999 or 1998.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Partnership's financial
instruments consist primarily of cash, receivables, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities. The carrying values of all financial instruments
are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Partnership to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily
of cash and cash equivalents and rent receivables. The Partnership places
its cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 1999, the Securities and
Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"),
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The adoption of SAB 101
did not impact the financial statements .
3. PROPERTY
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the total cost of property and the
accumulated depreciation are as follows:
2000 1999
Land $ 2,729,790 $ 2,729,790
Buildings and improvements 11,023,939 11,017,999
----------- -----------
Total 13,753,729 13,747,789
Accumulated depreciation (8,615,889) (8,048,274)
----------- ----------
Property, net $ 5,137,840 $ 5,699,515
=========== ===========
4. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
Under the Agreement of Limited Partnership, the general partners are to be
allocated one percent of the net profits or losses from operations, and
the limited partners are to be allocated the balance of the net profits or
losses from operations in proportion to their limited partnership
interests. The general partners are also entitled to receive a percent-
age, based on a predetermined formula, of any cash distribution from
the sale, other disposition, or refinancing of the real estate project.
In addition, the general partners are entitled to an incentive management
fee for supervising the operations of the Partnership. The fee is to be
paid in an amount equal to nine percent per annum of Partnership distri-
butions made from cash available for distribution, calculated as cash
generated from operations less capital expenditures.
5. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The following disclosure about segment reporting of the Partnership is
made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enter-
prise and Related Information." The Partnership operates under a single
segment; storage facility operations, under which the Partnership rents
its storage facilities to its customers on a need basis and charges rent
on a predetermined rate.
