PART I

Item l. BUSINESS

Registrant, DSI Realty Income Fund X (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 April 15, 1986. 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-one thousand seven hundred
eighty-three (31,783) units of limited partnership interests aggregating Fifteen
Million Eight Hundred Ninety-One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($15,891,500).
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. 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.

The average occupancy levels for each of the Partnership's five properties
for the years ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 were 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

Ryan Road
Warren, MI 84% 86%

Crestwood, IL 82% 83%

Groesbeck Hwy
Warren, MI 86% 88%

Forrestville, MD 86% 90%

Troy, MI 85% 87%

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 2. PROPERTIES

Registrant owns a fee interest in five mini-storage facilities, 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.

None.

PART II

Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Registrant, a publicly-held limited partnership, sold 31,783 limited
partnership units during its offering and currently has 999 limited partners
of record. There is no intention to sell additional limited partnership units
nor is there a market for these units.

Average cash distributions of $12.59 per Limited Partnership Unit were
declared and paid each quarter for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $11.25
per Limited Partnership Unit were declared and paid each quarter for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and $10.00 per Limited Partnership Unit for each
quarter for the year ended December 31, 1995. Due to adverse conditions in the
local economies where certain of the properties are located, it is Registrant's
expectations that distributions will continue to be paid in the future, however,
at a reduced annualized return of the Limited Partners' capital contributions.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1997 COMPARED TO 1996

Total revenues decreased from $2,667,128 in 1996 to $2,659,659 in 1997,
while total expenses increased from $1,574,943 to $1,628,097 resulting in a
decrease in net income from $1,092,185 to $1,031,839. The approximate $14,800
(0.6%) decrease in rental revenues can be attributed to lower occupancy levels
partially offset by higher unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the
Partnership's five mini-storage facilities averaged 84.5% for the year ended
December 31, 1997, compared to 86.4% for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
Partnership continued to increase rental rates where market conditions made
such increases feasible. Operating expenses increased by approximately $33,000
(5.4%) primarily due to increases in repairs and maintenance, real estate
taxes and salaries and wages partially offset by a decrease in yellow pages
advertising costs. General and administrative expenses increased by
approximately $8,800 (5.3%) primarily due to increases in miscellaneous
advertising costs, insurance and office expenses partially offset by a decrease
in other taxes. The General Partners' incentive management fee increased by
approximately $14,400 (11.1%). As this fee is computed as a percentage of
distributions made to the Limited Partners, the 1997 increase in distributions
resulted in an increased general partners' incentive management fee. Property
management fees remained constant.


1996 COMPARED TO 1995

Total revenues increased from $2,529,555 in 1995 to $2,667,128 in 1996,
while total expenses increased from $1,561,433 to $1,574,943 resulting in an
increase in net income from $968,122 to $1,092,185. The approximate $125,100
(5%) increase in rental revenues can be attributed higher unit rental rates.
Occupancy levels for the Partnership's five mini-storage facilities averaged
86.4% for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to 87.4% for the year
ended December 31, 1995. The Partnership continued to increase rental rates
where market conditions made such increases feasible. Operating expenses
decreased by approximately $23,400 (3.7%) primarily due to decreases in yellow
pages advertising costs, repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes and
salaries and wages. General and administrative expenses increased by
approximately $8,500 (5.4%) primarily due to increases in postage and other
taxes partially offset by a decrease in office expenses. The General Partners'
incentive management fee increased by approximately $14,400 (12.4%). As this
fee is computed as a percentage of distributions made to the Limited Partners,
the 1996 increase in distributions resulted in an increased general partners'
incentive management fee. Property management fees increased by approximately
$6,000 (4.8%). As property management fees are computed as a percentage of
rental income, increases in rental income resulted in commensurate increases
in management fees.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately
$262,500 (13.8%) in 1997 compared to 1996 primarily as a result of the decrease
in net income and partial payment of accrued property management fees. Net cash
provided by operating activities decreased by approximately $13,000 (0.7%) in
1996 compared to 1995 primarily as a result of the decrease in repayment of
amounts formerly due from the general partners partially offset by the
increase in net income and the deferral of payment of property management and
incentive management fees.

Cash used in financing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, consists solely of cash distributions to partners. Special distributions
of 2% and 1% were declared and paid on December 15, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities, as set forth in the statement of cash
flows, consists of acquisitions of equipment for the Partnership's mini-storage
facilities in 1995, 1996 and 1997. 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 financial 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
might have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the
Partnership.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
DSI Realty Income Fund X:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DSI Realty Income Fund VI, a
California Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as of December
31, 1997 and 1996, and the related 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of DSI Realty Income Fund X 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 X
(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997


1. GENERAL

DSI Realty Income Fund X, 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 31,783
limited partnership units, which were purchased for $500 a unit. The
general partners have made no capital 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 May 1, 1986
under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary
purpose of acquiring and operating real estate.

The Partnership has acquired five mini-storage properties, two of which
are located in Warren, Michigan; one in Crestwood, Illinois; one in Troy,
Michigan; and one in Forestville, Maryland. 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, as defined.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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
mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line
method over an estimated useful life of 20 years for the facilities.
Building 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 taxable income or loss. The net difference between the
bases of the Partnership's assets and liabilities for federal income tax
purposes and as reported for financial statement purposes is $6,167,843.

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 net income allocated
to the limited partners by the weighted average number of limited
partnership units outstanding during each year (31,783 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
amount 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 Partnership 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 Partnership recognizes an
impairment. No impairment losses were recognized in 1997, 1996 or 1995.

Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Partnership to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily
of cash equivalents and rent receivables. The Partnership places its cash
equivalents with high credit quality institutions.

3. PROPERTY

As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the total cost of property and
accumulated depreciation are as follows:

1997 1996

Land $ 2,089,882 $ 2,089,882
Buildings and improvements 10,833,336 10,825,708
----------- ------------
Total $12,923,218 $12,915,590
Accumulated depreciation (5,171,001) (4,632,472)
----------- -----------
Property, net $ 7,752,217 $ 8,283,118
=========== ===========

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 net losses from operations,
and the limited partners are to be allocated the balance of the net
profit or loss 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 a real estate 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 the Partnership distributions
made from cash available for distribution from operations, as defined, and
the payment of such fee is subordinated to a cumulative return to the
limited partners of 8.1% of the offering proceeds as defined.
