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 June 30, 2003. 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 June 30, 2003 and 2002, total revenues
decreased 7.2% from $770,436 to $714,842 and total expenses decreased 7.9%
from $485,968 to $447,566 and other income decreased from $212 to $111.
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased 3.8% from
$32.739 to $31,505. As a result, net income decreased 6.4% from $251,941
to $235,882 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, as compared to
the same period in 2002. Rental revenue decreased as a result of lower
occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six
mini-storage facilities averaged 79.3% for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2003 as compared to 85.1% for the same period in 2002. The Partner-
ship is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in
its various mini-storage facilities. Operating expenses decreased approxi-
mately $20,800 (5.2%) due primarily to a decrease in maintenance and repair,
property management fee, office supplies and power and sweeping expenses,
partially offset by increases in advertising, real estate tax and salaries
and wages expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased approxi-
mately $17,600 (20.55%) primarily as a result of decreases in legal and pro-
fessional and equipment and computer lease expenses. Minority interest in
income of real estate joint venture remained relatively constant.

For the six-months period ended June 30, 2003, and 2002, total revenues
decreased 6.0% from $1,571,645 to $1,478,155 and total expenses decreased
5.9% from $952,926 to $896,586 and other income decreased from $411 and $247.
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased 0.3% from
$69,927 to $69,689. As a result, net income decreased 6.8% from $549,203 to
$512,127 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the same
period in 2002. Rental revenue decreased as a result of lower occupancy and
unit rental rates. Operating expenses decreased approximately $43,800 (5.5%)
due primarily to decreases in legal and professional, maintenance and repair,
property management fees, office supplies, workers compensation insurance,
security alarm services and travel expenses, partially offset by increases in
advertising, telephone and real estate tax expenses. General and administrative
expenses decreased approximately $12,600 (8.0%) as a result of decreases in
legal and professional and equipment and computer lease expenses. Minority
interest in income of real estate joint venture remained relatively constant.

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. This offer was
also filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the same date. The
General Partners have determined that the hostile tender offer was not in the
best interests of the Limited Partners, that the tender offer was grossly in-
adequate given the performance history of the Limited Partnership and the
inherent value of the Units, and recommended that the Limited Partners reject
the hostile tender offer and not tender their Units pursuant thereto. The
offer was subsequently increased and extended to June 30, 2002 and again to
July 22, 2002. The General Partners' initial determination regarding the
offer did not change. Prior to the expiration date of the offer, Limited
Partners tendered 22 Units representing 0.072% of the outstanding Units of
the Partnership.

The Limited Partners have approved an amendment to the Partnership Agreement
granting the General Partners ten days to review certain types of transfers
during which the General Partners may match, exceed or approve the proposed
transfers. The Court has rejected all preliminary attempts to halt implemen-
tation of the amendment.

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.

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.

Very truly yours,

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX

three general partners (DSI Properties, Inc., Robert J. Conway and
Joseph W. Conway) and limited partners owning 30,693 limited partnership
units.

The accompanying consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2003,
and for the periods ended June 30, 2003, and 2002 is unaudited. Such
financial information includes all adjustments which are considered
necessary by the Partnership's management for a fair presentation of the
results for the periods indicated.

2. PROPERTY

The Partnership owns five mini-storage facilities located in Monterey Park
and Azusa, California; Everett, Washington; and Romeoville and Elgin,
Illinois. The Partnership also owns a 70% interest in a mini-storage
facility in Aurora, Colorado. As of June 30, 2003, the total cost and
accumulated depreciation of the mini-storage facilities are as follows:

3. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

Net income per limited partnership unit is calculated by dividing the net
income allocated to the limited partners by the number of limited
partnership units outstanding during the period.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within 90 days prior to the date this report, the Partnerhip evaluated the
effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was
performed by the Partnership's Controller with the assistance of the Partner-
ship's President and Chief Executive Officer. These disclosure controls and
procedures are designed that the information required to be disclosed by the
Partnership in its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the Commission) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified by the Commission's rules and forms, and
that the information is communicated to the certifying officers on a timely
basis. Based on this evaluation, the Partnership concluded that its dis-
closure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no signif-
icant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of
their evaluation.
