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, 1995 and December 31, 1994 are as follows:

Location of Property                Average Occupancy         Average Occupancy

*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 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1995 COMPARED TO 1994

     Total  revenues  increased  from  $2,312,201 in 1994 to $2,484,242 in 1995,
total expenses  increased from $1,520,382 to $1,563,848 and minority interest in
income of the real estate joint venture increased from $93,634 to $116,421. As a
result of these  fluctuations,  net income  increased  from  $698,185 in 1994 to
$803,973  in 1995.  The  increase  in rental  revenues  can be  attributed  to a
combination of higher occupancy and unit rental rates.  Average occupancy levels
for the Partnership's six mini-storage  facilities  increased from 81.5% for the
year ended December 31, 1994, to 85.2% for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
Partnership continued to increase rental rates where market conditions made such
increases  feasible.  The  Partnership  is continuing  its marketing  efforts to
attract  and  keep new  tenants  in its  various  mini-storage  facilities.  The
increase in operating expenses of approximately $22,000 (3.6%) was primarily due
to increases in maintenance and repairs and salaries and wages partially  offset
by a decrease  in yellow page  advertising  costs.  General  and  administrative
expenses  increased  by  approximately  $8,000  (3.5%)  primarily as a result of
higher property  management fees.  Property  management fees, which are based on
rental  income,  increased  as a result of the  increase in rental  income.  The
amount of income from the  Partnership's  real estate joint venture allocated to
the minority partner  increased due to the increased  profitability of the joint
venture.

1994 COMPARED TO 1993

     Total revenues  decreased slightly from $2,315,457 in 1993 to $2,312,201 in
1994,  total  expenses  decreased  from  $1,552,502 to  $1,520,382  and minority
interest in income of the real estate joint  venture  increased  from $88,765 to
$93,634. As a result of these  fluctuations,  net income increased from $674,190
in 1993 to  $698,185 in 1994.  The slight  decrease  in rental  revenues  can be
attributed to a combination  of lower  occupancy  rates offset to some extent by
higher unit rental rates.  Average  occupancy levels for the  Partnership's  six
mini-storage  facilities  decreased  from 84.2% for the year ended  December 31,
1993, to 81.5% for the year ended December 31, 1994. The  Partnership  continued
to increase rental rates where market  conditions made such increases  feasible.
The  Partnership  is continuing  its  marketing  efforts to attract and keep new
tenants in its  various  mini-storage  facilities.  The  decrease  in  operating
expenses of  approximately  $41,000  (6.3%) was  primarily  due to  decreases in
maintenance  and repair,  salaries and wages,  workers'  compensation  insurance
expenses and yellow page advertising  costs offset to some extent by an increase
in real estate tax expense.  General and  administrative  expenses  increased by
approximately  $9,000 (4.2%) primarily as a result of higher  professional fees.
The amount of income from the Partnership's  real estate joint venture allocated
to the minority  partner  increased  due to the increased  profitability  of the
joint venture.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash provided by operating activities increased  approximately $158,000
(11.9%) in 1995  compared to 1994  primarily  as a result of the increase in net
income and the  reduction  in the amount paid for deferred  property  management
fees. Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $118,000
(9.7%) in 1994  compared to 1993  primarily  as a result of the  increase in net
income and the reduction in the amount paid for deferred property management and
General  Partners'  incentive  management  fees.  Payment  of a  portion  of the
property  management and General  Partners'  incentive  management fees had been
deferred in prior years in order to maximize cash available for  distribution to
Limited Partners.

     Cash used in financing  activities,  as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, has been used for  distributions to partners and the minority interest in
the  Partnership's  real estate joint venture.  The General Partners  determined
that  effective  with the fourth  quarter 1995  distribution,  which was paid on
January 15, 1996, distributions to the limited partners would be increased to an
amount  which  yields an 8%  annual  return on the  capital  contributed  by the
limited partners from annual return of 7% paid in the prior year.  Distributions
paid to the minority  interest in the  Partnership's  real estate joint  venture
have increased each year as a result of the increased profitability of the joint
venture.

     Cash used in investing  activities,  as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, consists of acquisitions of equipment for the Partnership's  mini-storage
facilities in 1994 and 1995. The  Partnership  has no material  commitments  for
capital expenditures.

     The  General  Partners  plan  to  continue  their  policy  of  funding  the
continuing  improvement  and  maintenance  of Partnership  properties  with cash
generated from operations.  The Partnership's resources appear to be adequate to
meet its needs for the next twelve months.

     The General  Partners  are not aware of any  environmental  problems  which
could  have a  material  adverse  effect  upon  the  financial  position  of the
Partnership.

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, 1995 and 1994,  and the related  statements of income,  changes in partners'
equity,  and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995. 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  auditing
standards.  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  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable 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, 1995 and 1994,  and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three  years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1995 
in  conformity  with generally accepted accounting principles.

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX
(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

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  owns 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, as defined.

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% 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.

     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 1995, 1994 and 1993).

     Property and  Depreciation  - Property is recorded at cost and is comprised
     primarily of  mini-storage  facilities.  Depreciation is provided for using
     the straight-line  method over an estimated useful life of 20 years for the
     facilities.

     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 taxable income or loss.

     Estimates - The  preparation  of financial  statements in  conformity  with
     generally accepted  accounting  principles requires the Partnership to make
     estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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.

3.   PROPERTY

     As of December 31, 1995 and 1994,  the total cost of property and  
     accumulated depreciation are as follows:

       Property, net                          $ 8,018,490        $ 8,574,285
                                              ===========         ===========

4.   ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

     Under the Agreement of Limited Partnership,  the general partners are to be
     allocated 1% 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  percentage,  based on a
     predetermined  formula,  of any  cash  distribution  from the  sale,  other
     disposition, or refinancing of the project.

     The general  partners are entitled to receive an incentive  management  fee
     for supervising the operations of the Partnership. The fee is to be paid in
     an amount equal to 9% per annum of Partnership distributions made from 
     cash available for distribution from operations, as defined.  Payment of 
     incentive  management fees earned by the general partners during the fiscal
     years 1986 through 1988 was subordinated to the limited partners' receiving
     a cumulative, noncompounded annual return of 8.1%.  Incentive management 
     fees payable to general partners is $314,604 at December 31, 1995 and 
     1994.
