QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VI
DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:
We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited financial statements for
the period ended September 30, 2000. 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 September 30, 2000 and 1999, total revenues
increased 8.5% from $743,657 to $807,021 and total expenses increased 6.1%
from $416,741 to $442,232. As a result,net income increased 11.6% from $326,916
for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999, to $364,789 for the same
period in 2000. The revenue increase can be attributed to an increase in
rental income as a result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy
levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 90.1% for the
three month period ended September 30, 2000, compared to 87.0% for the same
period in 1999. The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract
and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. Operating expenses
increased approximately $24,900 (6.9%) primarily due to increases in yellow
pages advertising costs, property management fees and salaries and wages
expense, partially offset by a decrease in maintenance and repair expense.
Property management fees, which are based on rental revenue, increased as a
result of the increase in rental revenue. General and administrative expenses
remained relatively constant as an increase in incentive management fees was
offset by a decrease in equipment and computer lease expenses. Incentive
management fees, which are based on cash available for distribution, increased
as a result of the increase in net income.
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, and 1999, total revenues
increased 7.9% from $2,153,572 to $2,323,008 and total expenses increased 3.9%
from $1,266,989 to $1,316,461. As a result, net income increased 13.5% from
$886,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, to $1,006,547 for the
same period in 2000. The reason for the increase in revenues is the same as
discussed above for the three-month period. Operating expenses increased
approximately $29,100 (2.7%) primarily due to increases in yellow pages ad-
vertising costs, property management fees and workers compensation insurance
expenses, partially offset by decreases in maintenance and repair and security
expenses. Property management fees, which are based on rental revenue, in-
creased as a result of the increase in rental revenue. General and admini-
strative expenses increased approximately $20,400 (9.9%) primarily as a result
of increases in incentive management fees, legal and professional expenses.
The reason for the increase in incentive management fees is the same as
discussed above.
The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding 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.
