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.

PART I

Item l. Description of 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. The General Partners are DSI Properties, Inc., a California corporation and 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 (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.

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 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.

Page 2

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 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. Description of Property.

Registrant owns a fee interest in the following mini-storage facilities, none of which are subject to long-term indebtedness.

None.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Registrant, a publicly-held limited partnership, sold 30,693 limited partnership units during its offering and as of December 31, 2007 had 1,142 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 $8.85 per Limited Partnership Unit were declared and paid each quarter for the year ended December 31, 2007 and $7.58 per Limited Partnership Unit were declared and paid each quarter for the year ended December 31, 2006. It is Registrant's expectations that distributions will continue to be paid in the future.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Critical Accounting Policies

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2007 COMPARED TO 2006

Total revenues increased from $3,030,962 in 2006 to $3,165,420 in 2007, total expenses increased from $1,807,977 to $1,821,206, other income increased from $193 to $195 and minority interest in income of the real estate joint venture increased from $120,580 to $129,999. As a result of these fluctuations, net income increased from $1,102,405 to $1,214,215. The increase in rental revenues can be attributed to higher occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership’s mini-storage facilities averaged 79.5% for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 78.4% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Partnership continued its advertising campaign to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. The approximate $112,100 (11.2%) increase in operating expenses was due primarily to increases in advertising, salaries and wages, trash and power sweeping/snow plowing expenses, partially offset by decreases in maintenance and repair, purchase of locks and pacing materials and workers compensation insurance expenses. The approximate $66,100 (23.9%) increase in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to increases in legal and professional, administrative and bank and credit card fee expenses. General Partners’ incentive management fees, which are based on cash distributions to Limited Partners, increased as a result of an increase in these distributions. Property management fees, which are based on rental revenue, increased as a result of the increase in rental revenue.

Page 4

2006 COMPARED TO 2005

Total revenues increased from $2,791,288 in 2005 to $3,030,962 in 2006, total expenses decreased from $2,064,603 to $1,807,977, and minority interest in income of the real estate joint venture increased from $108,420 to $120,580. As a result of these fluctuations, net income increased from $618,265 to $1,102,405. The increase in rental revenues can be attributed to higher occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership’s mini-storage facilities averaged 78.4% for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 75.3% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Partnership continued its advertising campaign to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. The approximate $54,300 (5.1%) decrease in operating expenses was due primarily to decreases in advertising, purchase of locks and packing materials; partially offset by decreases in real estate tax and salaries and wages. The approximate $7,600 (2.7%) decrease in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to decreases in office supplies and printing expenses, travel expenses, partially offset by increases in legal and professional, bank and credit card fees and postage expenses. General Partners’ incentive management fees, which are based on cash distributions to Limited Partners, remained constant. Property management fees, which are based on rental revenue, increased as a result of the increase in rental revenue.

Operating expenses consist mainly of expenses such as yellow pages and other advertising, utilities, repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes, salaries and wages and their related expenses. General and administrative expenses consist mainly of expenses such as legal and professional, office supplies, postage, accounting services and computer expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased approximately $145,800 (11.8%) in 2007 as compared to 2006, primarily due to the decrease in net income.

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 2006. The Partnership has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Cash used in financing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash flows, has been used for distributions to partners, the minority investor in the Partnership’s real estate joint venture in 2007 and 2006 and payments on capital lease obligations starting in 2004.

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 anticipates that cash flows generated from operations of the Partnership's rental real estate operations will be sufficient to cover operating expenses and distributions for the next twelve months and beyond.

The General Partners are not aware of any environmental problems which could have a material adverse effect upon the financial position of the Partnership.

RISK FACTORS

Some Potential Losses Are Not Covered By Insurance. We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance on all of our Properties. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate. There are, however, types of losses, such as lease and other contract claims and acts of war that generally are not insured. We cannot be assured that we will be able to renew insurance coverage upon expiration of our policies in an adequate amount or at reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts and mold or, if offered, these types of insurance may be prohibitively expensive. Should uninsured loss or a loss in excess from insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a Property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the Property. In such an event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the Property. We cannot be assured that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our Properties were to experience catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the Property. Such events could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders.

Because real estate is illiquid, we may not be able to sell Properties when appropriate. Real estate investments generally, mini-storage facilities like those that we own, in particular, often cannot be sold quickly. Consequently, we may not be able to sell Properties when appropriate. This could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions.

Our operating costs might rise, which might reduce our profitability and have an adverse affect on our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.

We might face higher operating expenses as a result of rising costs generally, and in particular as a result of increased costs following a terrorist attack or other catastrophic event. For example, it might cost more in the future for security, property/casualty and liability insurance, and property maintenance. As noted above, when our insurance policies expire, the cost of premiums for comparable coverage might be significantly higher after such an event when it is time to renew our coverage, which could then increase our operating expenses and reduce or profitability and our cash flow. Because of rising costs in general, we might experience increases in our property maintenance costs, such as for cleaning and electricity. If operating expenses increase dramatically, the availability of other comparable mini-storage facilities in our specific geographic markets might limit our ability to increase rents, which could reduce our profitability (if operating expenses increase without a corresponding increase in revenues) and limit our ability to make distributions.

We face significant competition. We compete with numerous other owners of mini-storage facilities for tenants. Some of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources than we do. Such competition may reduce our ability to attract and keep and retain tenants, and may increase vacancies, which increases may lower rental rates. In addition, some of our competitors may be willing, because their properties may have vacancy rates higher than those for our properties, to make space available at lower prices than the space in our properties. We cannot be assured that this competition will not adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions.

Page 7

Our ability to make distributions is subject to various risks. We have been paying quarterly distributions since inception. Our ability to make distributions in the future will depend upon:

- Financial performance of our Properties;

- The absence of significant expenditures relating to environmental and regulatory matters; and

- Our ability to attract and maintain tenants.

Certain of these matters are beyond our control and any significant difference between our expectations and actual results could have a material adverse affect on our cash flow and our ability to make distributions.

Changes in the law may adversely affect our cash flow. The Properties are subject to various regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment, fire and safety. Our failure to comply with these requirements could result in the imposition of fines and damage awards. Additionally, the cost to comply with any new or different regulation could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions. While we believe that the Properties are currently in material compliance with all such requirements, we cannot be assured that these requirements will not change or that newly imposed requirements will not require significant unanticipated expenditures.

Should we incur long-term indebtedness, it will subject us to additional risks. Like other real estate companies, should we incur indebtedness on our properties, we will be subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, such as the insufficiency of cash flow to meet required debt service payment obligations and the inability to refinance existing indebtedness. If such debt cannot be paid, refinanced or extended at maturity, in addition to our failure to repay our debt, we may not be able to make distributions at expected levels or at all. Furthermore, an increase in interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to Limited Partners. If we should not meet our debt service obligations, any Properties securing such indebtedness could be foreclosed on, which would have a material adverse affect on our cash flow and ability to make distributions and, depending on the number of Properties foreclosed on, could threaten our continued viability. Our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on our ability to incur debt secured by our Properties. Accordingly, we could place financing on our Properties almost without restriction. If we were to take such action, the debt service could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions and would include the risk of default on such indebtedness. There are no plans to incur any long-term indebtedness on any of the Partnership's Properties.

Environmental problems at the Properties are possible and may be costly. Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations may require a current or previous owner or operator of real estate to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or releases at such property. The owner or operator may be forced to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean up costs incurred by others in connection with environmental contamination. Such laws typically impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of contaminates. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for all the clean-up costs incurred. In addition, third parties may sue the owner or operator of a site for damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from that site. These costs may be substantial and the presence of such substances may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral.

Environmental laws that govern the presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos require that owners or operators of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, notifying and train those who may come into contact with asbestos and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, if asbestos would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building. Such laws may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.

Page 8

To the best of our knowledge, asbestos was not used in the construction of any of the Properties. Tenants of the Partnership's mini-storage facilities are prohibited from storing hazardous or toxic substances or from even bringing hazardous or toxic substances onto the property. To the best knowledge of the General Partners, there are no instances of storage or release of hazardous or toxic substances at any of the Partnership's Properties. However, there can be no guaranty that one or more tenants did not actually store such materials or cause releases at any of the Partnership's Properties. If these conditions should occur, we may need to undertake a target remediation program which could become costly and could necessitate the temporary location of some or all of the Properties' tenants or require rehabilitation of the affected property.

Americans with Disabilities Act compliance can be costly. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), all public accommodations and commercial facilities, must meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA requirements could involve removal of structural barriers from certain disabled persons' entrances, which could adversely affect our financial condition, and results of operations. Other Federal, state or local laws may require modifications to or restrict further renovations of our Properties with respect to such accesses. Although we believe that our Properties are currently in material compliance with present requirements, non-compliance with the ADA or similar or related laws or regulations could result in the United States government imposing fines or private litigants being awarded damages against us. In addition, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will require significant unanticipated expenditures. Such costs may adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions.

Partnership's status as a limited partnership is dependent on compliance with Federal income tax requirements. Failure of the Partnership to be treated as a limited partnership would have serious adverse consequences to holders of our Units. If the IRS were to successfully challenge the tax status of the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes, the Partnership would be treatable as a corporation. In such event, the imposition of a corporate tax on the Partnership would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution from such Partnership to the Limited Partners. We do not anticipate such a challenge.

We are dependent upon our key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed. We are dependent upon our independent property manager for experience in managing mini-storage facilities. While we believe we could find replacements for these key personnel, loss of their services could adversely affect our operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of

DSI Realty Income Fund IX:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DSI Realty Income Fund IX, a California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2007 and the related statements of income, partners' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the supplemental schedule listed in the Index at Item 7. These financial statements and the supplemental schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and supplemental schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 IX at December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such supplemental 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 IX

(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2007

1. GENERAL

DSI Realty Income Fund IX, a California 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 per unit. The general partners have made no capital contributions to the Partnership and are not required to make any capital contributions in the future. The Partnership has a maximum life of 50 years and was formed on March 6, 1985, under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of acquiring and operating real estate.

The Partnership owns mini-storage facilities located in Azusa and Monterey Park, California; Elgin and Romeoville, Illinois; Everett, Washington and owns a 70% interest in a mini-storage facility located in Aurora, CO. 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 6).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its 70% owned real estate joint venture. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions 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 using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 20 years for the facilities. Building improvements are depreciated over a six year period. Property under capital leases is amortized over the lesser of the lives of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

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 basis of the Partnership's assets and liabilities for federal income tax purposes and as reported for financial statement purposes for the year ended December 31, 2007 is $328,802.

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.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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.

Page 17

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 undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the property. No impairment losses were required in 2007 or 2006.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - For all financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, other assets, distributions due to partners, incentive management fee payable to general partners, property

management fee payable, and customer deposits and other liabilities, carrying values approximate fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of the capital lease obligations approximates fair value because the terms of the instrument are similar to terms available to the Partnership for similar types of leasing agreements.

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

Discontinued Operations - We segregate all of our disposed facilities that have operations that can be distinguished from the rest and will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Partnership in a disposal transaction. Discontinued operations, principally consists of the historical operations related to facilities that have been sold.

Recent accounting pronouncements - In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159 - THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES - INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year, is also permitted, provided interim financial statements have not yet been issued. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, CONSIDERING THE EFFECTS OF PRIOR YEAR MISSTATEMENTS WHEN QUANTIFYING MISSTATEMENTS IN CURRENT YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. The SAB requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 does not change the guidance in SAB 99, MATERIALITY, when evaluating the materiality of misstatements. SAB108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Partnership has implemented SAB 108 in the current fiscal year with no material effect.

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.
