Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Words and phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “designed to achieve”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future – including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, general conditions in the geographic areas where we operate – are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that may affect outcomes and results are beyond our ability to control.

(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2013

1. GENERAL

Registrant, DSI Realty Income Fund VI (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 27, 1981. The General Partners are DSI Properties, Inc., a California corporation, and RJC Capital Management, LLC and JWC Capital Management, LLC.

DSI Properties, Inc. is an affiliate 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, the Partnership sold twenty-three thousand seven hundred fifty-three (23,753) units of limited partnership interests, aggregating Eleven Million Eight Hundred Seventy-Six Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($11,876,500). The General Partners have retained a one percent (1%) 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.

The Partnership owns mini-storage facilities located in Vallejo, California; Arvada, Federal Heights and Colorado Springs, Colorado; and two in Santa Rosa, California. All facilities were purchased from Dahn Corporation ("Dahn"). Dahn is not affiliated with the Partnership. Dahn is affiliated with other partnerships in which DSI Properties, Inc. is a general partner (see Note 5).

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Partnership's management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Significant Accounting Policies

Comprehensive income - The Partnership has adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 comprehensive income equaled net income, as the Partnership had no other comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, accumulated other comprehensive income was $0.

Fair value of financial instruments - ASC 825-10 (formerly SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Partnership. The Partnership considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

Revenue recognition - 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-07 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting, in order to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The amendments are effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04 Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date, in order to provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, in order to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update seek to attain that objective by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account (for example, inventory) instead of directly to income or expense in the same reporting period. The amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Partnership considers the adoption of the standard update does not impact its financial position or results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which finalizes Proposed ASU No. EITF-13C, and provides explicit guidance regarding the presentation in the statement of financial position of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryfoward exists. ASU No. 2013-11 applies prospectively to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. Retrospective application is also permitted. Further, ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership considers the adoption of the standard update will not impact its financial position or results of operations.

2. PROPERTIES

Properties owned by the Partnership are all mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 20 years. Property under capital leases is amortized over the lives of the respective leases. The total cost of property and accumulated depreciation at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

	June 30, 2013	December 31, 2012 (Audited)
Land	$ 1,207,000	$ 1,207,000
Buildings and improvements	5,769,721	5,769,721
Rental trucks under capital leases	126,159	126,159
Total	7,102,880	7,102,880
Less accumulated depreciation	(5,859,390)	(5,853,652)
Properties, net	$ 1,243,490	$ 1,249,228

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. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES AND GENERAL PARTNERS' INCENTIVE MANAGEMENT FEE

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 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 the cash available for distribution on a cumulative basis, calculated as cash generated from operations less capital expenditures.

5. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership has entered into a management agreement with Dahn to operate its mini-storage facilities. The management agreement provides for a management fee equal to 6% of gross revenue from operations, which is defined as the entire amount of all receipts from the renting or leasing of storage compartments and sale of locks. The management agreement is renewable annually. Dahn earned management fees equal to $55,716 and $54,652, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amounts payable to Dahn at June 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $8,535 and $7,678, respectively.

Beginning in July 2011, the General Partner, DSI Properties, Inc. performs all tax related work with respect to the Partnership. These services are paid monthly in the amount of $3,572. Tax fees paid to DSI Properties, Inc. for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were $21,432.

6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In accordance with ASC 205-20 (formerly, SFAS 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), the net income of a mini-storage facility located in Arvada, CO, which was sold on August 31, 2012, is reflected in the statement of income as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

In November 2011, a notice of intent for acquisition was received from the Colorado Regional Transportation District, whereby it proposed to acquire the Partnerships' mini-storage facility in Arvada, Colorado. In August 2012 an offer was accepted for a gross sales price of $4,110,000. In October 2012 proceeds in the amount of $3,355,111 were distributed to limited partners. The net gain on the sales of the facility is $3,166,809. In 2012, fees were paid to the general partners in accordance with the partnership agreement amounting to $62,640. An incentive fee was paid to the General Partners as a result of the sale of the Arvada, CO property in 2012 in the amount of $568,856.

The following table summarizes the revenue and expense components that comprise discontinued operations:

	Three months ended June 30,		Six months ended June 30,
	2013	2012	2013	2012
Revenue	$1,000	$172,021	$ 1,488	$323,638
Expenses	2,227	82,678	1,372	171,044
Net operating income (loss) from discontinued operations	$(1,227)	$89,343	$(116)	$152,594

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Events subsequent to June 30, 2013, have been evaluated through the date these unaudited interim financial statements were issued to determine whether they should be disclosed to keep the unaudited interim financial statements from being misleading. Management found no subsequent events that should be disclosed.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting Policies

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2013 COMPARED TO 2012

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, revenues increased 7.4% to $491,969 from $458,178 and total expenses decreased 1.6% to $331,615 from $336,952 resulting in an increase in net income from continuing operations of 32.3% to $160,354 from $121,226. Rental revenues increased primarily as a result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 71.9% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to 70.8% for the same period in 2012. Operating expenses decreased $18,928 or 8.5% primarily due to decreases in repair and maintenance and promotional advertising expenses; partially offset by increases in salary and wages, worker's compensation insurance, and fire and liability insurance expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $11,893 or 16.7% primarily as a result of an increase in legal and professional expenses.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, revenues increased 4.6% to $944,982 from $903,211 and total expenses decreased 3.5% to $638,741 from $662,203 resulting in an increase in net income from continuing operations of 27.1% to $306,241 from $241,008. Rental revenues increased primarily as a result of increases in unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 69.9% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to 70.4% for the same period in 2012. Operating expenses decreased $36,306 or 8.5% primarily due to decreases in repairs and maintenance and promotional advertising expenses; partially offset by increases in salaries and wages, worker's compensation insurance, and fire and liability insurance expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $15,902 or 11.3% primarily as a result of an increase in legal and professional, administration and computer equipment lease expenses.

The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing improvement and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash generated from operations. In addition, the Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.
