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, 1997 and December 31, 1996 are as follows:
Location of Property Average Occupancy Average Occupancy
Level for the Level for the
Year Ended Year Ended
Dec. 31, 1997 Dec. 31, 1996
Azusa, CA 83% 82%
Elgin, IL 81% 83%
Everett, WA 90% 84%
Monterey Park, CA 90% 91%
Romeoville, IL 78% 82%
Aurora, CO* 88% 82%
*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.
<PAGE>
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, 1997 regarding
properties owned by the Partnership.

Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Registrant, a publicly-held limited partnership, sold 30,693 limited

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1997 COMPARED TO 1996
Total revenues increased from $2,468,108 in 1996 to $2,624,488 in 1997,
total expenses increased from $1,620,477 to $1,674,192 and minority interest
in income of the real estate joint venture increased from $82,729 to $93,305.
As a result of these fluctuations, net income increased from $764,902 in 1996
to $856,991 in 1997. 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 84.0%
for the year ended December 31, 1996, to 84.9% for the year ended December 31,
1997. The Partnership continued to adjust rental rates where market conditions
made such adjustments 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 $59,300 (9.3%) was
primarily due to increases in miscellaneous advertising costs, maintenance and
repair, salaries and wages and workman'S compensation insurance expense
partially offset by decreases in real estate tax expense. General and
administrative expenses increased approximately $4,600 (2.8%) as a result of
relatively insignificant fluctuations in various expense accounts. General
Partners' incentive management fees remained constant. Property management
fees, which are based on rental revenue, increased as a result of the increase
in rental revenue. 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.
1996 COMPARED TO 1995
Total revenues decreased from $2,484,242 in 1995 to $2,468,108 in 1996,
total expenses increased from $1,563,848 to $1,620,477 and minority interest
in income of the real estate joint venture decreased from $116,421 to $82,729.
As a result of these fluctuations, net income decreased from $803,973 in 1995
to $764,902 in 1996. The decrease in rental revenues can be attributed to a
combination of lower occupancy and unit rental rates. Average occupancy levels
for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities decreased from 85.2% for the
year ended December 31, 1995, to 84% for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
Partnership continued to adjust rental rates where market conditions made such
adjustments 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 $36,700 (6.1%) was primarily
due to increases in yellow pages advertising costs, real estate tax expense and
salaries and wages partially offset by decreases in maintenance and repair
expense. General and administrative expenses decreased $14,500 (8.1%)
primarily due to a decrease in office expenses. General Partners' incentive
management fees increased approximately $24,400 (24.1%). These fees which
are based on cash distributions to limited partners, increased as a result
of an increase in these distributions. The amount of income from the
Partnership's real estate joint venture allocated to the minority partner
decreased due to the decreased profitability of the joint venture.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $26,200
(1.8%) in 1997 compared to 1996 primarily as a result of the increase in net
income partially offset by decreases in depreciation and customer deposits
and other liabilities and an increase in other assets. Net cash provided by
operating activities decreased approximately $19,900 (1.3%) in 1996 compared to
1995 primarily as a result of the decrease in net income partially offset by an
increase in customer deposits and other liabilities.
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. In addition,
a special distribution of 1% was declared and paid on December 15, 1996 and
1997.
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 1995 and 1996. 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, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997. 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, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997
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, 1997
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, 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.
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.
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 bases
of the Partnership's assets and liabilities for federal income tax purposes
as as reported for financial statement purposes is $1,653,248.
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 1997, 1996 and 1995).
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 Company 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 future cash flow is less than the carrying
amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment. No impairment
losses were required in 1997, 1996 or 1995.
3. PROPERTY
As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the total cost of property and the
accumulated depreciation are as follows:
1997 1996
Land $ 2,729,790 $ 2,729,790
Buildings and improvements 10,975,897 10,975,897
----------- -----------
Total 13,705,687 13,705,687
Accumulated depreciation (6,872,774) (6,285,024)
----------- ----------
Property, net $ 6,832,913 $ 7,420,663
=========== ===========
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.
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 9% per annum of Partnership distributions made
from cash available for distribution from operations, as defined.
