CONWAY, President and Chief Financial Officer April 26, 2002 		QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS 			OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS: We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2002. The following is Management's discussion and analysis of the Partnership's financial condition and results of its operations. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, total revenues increased 3.0% from $778,084 to $801,209, total expenses increased 12.3% from $415,684 to $466,958, other income decreased from $1,208 to $199 and minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased 14.3% from $43,394 to $37,188. As a result, net income decreased 7.2% from $320,214 to $297,262 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001. The increase in revenue can be atributed to an increase in rental income due to higher unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 83.9% for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to 85.8% for the same period in 2001. The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. Operating expenses increased approximately $47,300 (13.6%) primarily as a result of increases in legal and professional, maintenance and repair, office supplies, salaries and wages, travel and workers compensation insurance expenses, partially offset by a decrease in power and sweeping expense. Power and sweeping expenses decreased as the substantial snow removal costs, associated with heavy snowfalls in areas of Illinois and Michigan where Partnership facilities are located, were not incurred in the current period. General and administrative expenses in- creased approximately $4,000 (6.0%) primarily as a result of an increase in equipment and computer lease expense. On April 5, 2002, the General Partners received a copy of a hostile tender offer from MacKenzie Patterson, Inc. and associated corporations and limited partnerships to purchase all of the units in the Partnership. The General Partners have determined that the hostile tender offer is not in the best interests of the Limited Partners, that the tender offer is grossly inadequate given the performance history of the Limited Partnership and the inherent value of the units, and recommend that the Limited Partners reject the hostile tender offer and not tender their units pursuant therein. The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing improvements and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash generated from operations. The Partnership's resources appear to be adequate to meet its needs. The General Partners anticipate distributions to the Limited Partners to remain at the current level for the foreseeable future. We are not enclosing a copy of the Partnership Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission since all the information set forth therein is contained either in this letter or in the attached financial statements. However, if you wish to receive a copy of said report, please send a written request to DSI Realty Income Fund IX, P.O. Box 357, Long Beach, California 90801.
