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, 1998 and December 31, 1997 were as follows:

Location of Property Average Occupancy Average Occupancy
Level for the Level for the
Year Ended Year Ended
Dec. 31, 1998 Dec. 31, 1997

Ryan Road
Warren, MI 80% 84%

Crestwood, IL 82% 82%

Groesbeck Hwy
Warren, MI 85% 86%

Forrestville, MD 84% 86%

Troy, MI 83% 85%

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, 1998 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 997 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 $12.62 per Limited Partnership Unit were
declared and paid each quarter for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $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. 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

1998 COMPARED TO 1997

Total revenues increased from $2,659,936 in 1997 to $2,707,174 in 1998,
while total expenses decreased from $1,628,097 to $1,626,960 resulting in an
increase in net income from $1,031,839 to $1,080,214. The approximate $39,400
(1.5%) increase in rental revenues can be attributed to higher unit rental
rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's five mini-storage facilities
averaged 82.7% for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to 84.5% for the
year ended December 31, 1997. The Partnership continued to increase rental
rates where market conditions made such increases feasible. Operating expenses
decreased by approximately $11,200 (1.8%) primarily due to decreases in repairs
and maintenance, legal and professional and worker's conpensation insurance
expenses partially offset by increases in real estate tax and salary and wage
expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $5,800
(3.3%) primarily due to an increase in Michigan State Taxes. The General
Partners' incentive management fee remained constant. Property management fees
increased by approximately $2,700 (2.1%). Property management fees, which are
computed as a percentage of rental revenue, increased as a result of the
increase in rental revenue.


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.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately
$274,100 (16.7%) primarily as a result of an increase net income, deferral of
property management and incentive management fees and a decrease in other
assets. Net cash provided by operating activities increased 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.

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%, 2% and 1% were declared and paid on December 15, 1998, 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 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 Year 2000 issue refers to the inability of certain computer systems to
recognize a date using "00" as the Year 2000. The Partnership has implemented
a Year 2000 program, which ahs three phases: (1) identification;
(2) remediation; and (3) testing and verification. The Partnership, as well
as the property management company and the Partnership's warehouse facilities
have completed those phases. Computer programs have been upgraded and tested
to function properly with respect to the dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter.
Year 2000 compliance costs are nominal and have been expensed in the regular
course of business. The Partnership provides no assurance that third-party
suppliers and customers will be compliant. Nevertheless, the Partnership does
not believe that the Year 2000 issue will have a material adverse effect on
its financial condition or results of operations.

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 X, a
California Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998. 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,
1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, such financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998


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 $6,495,083.

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 1998,
1997 and 1996).

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 1998, 1997 or 1996.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments
consist primarily of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities. The carrying values of all financial instruments are
representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

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, 1998 and 1997, the total cost of property and
accumulated depreciation are as follows:

1998 1997

Land $ 2,089,882 $ 2,089,882
Buildings and improvements 10,833,336 10,833,336
----------- ------------
Total $12,923,218 $12,923,218
Accumulated depreciation (5,709,530) (5,171,001)
----------- -----------
Property, net $ 7,213,688 $ 7,752,217
=========== ===========

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.

5. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The following disclosure about segment reporting of the Partnership is
made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Partnership
operates under a single segment; storage facility operations, under which
the Partnership rents its storage facilities to its customers on a need
basis and charges rent on a predetermined rate.
