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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2009

1. GENERAL

DSI Realty Income Fund IX (the "Partnership"), a limited partnership, has three general partners (DSI Properties, Inc., Robert J. Conway and Joseph W. Conway) and limited partners.

The Partnership has acquired mini-storage facilities located in Monterey Park and Azusa, California; Everett, Washington; and Romeoville and Elgin, Illinois. The Partnership has also entered into a joint venture with DSI Realty Income Fund VIII through which the Partnership has a 70% interest in a mini-storage facility in Aurora, Colorado. The Partnership is a general partner in the joint venture. 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 accompanying unaudited interim consolidated 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 interim consolidated 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 consolidated 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, 2009. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", or FSP 107-1, which requires that the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", be included in interim financial statements. This FSP also requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. FSP 107-1 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of FSP 107-1 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Event, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In accordance with this Statement, entities should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB approved its Accounting Standards Codification, or Codification, as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. Therefore, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, all references made to US GAAP will use the new Codification numbering system prescribed by the FASB. As the Codification is not intended to change or alter existing US GAAP, it is not expected to have any impact on the Partnership's financial statements.

2. PROPERTY

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, 2009 were as follows:
 

	June 30, 2009	December 31, 2008
Land	$ 2,729,790	$ 2,729,790
Buildings and improvements	11,142,297	11,142,297
Rental trucks under capital leases	210,138	210,138
Total	14,082,225	14,082,225
Less accumulated depreciation	(11,321,373)	(11,313,682)
Property – net	$ 2,760,852	$ 2,768,543

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 distributions to limited partners in the fund.

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 5% 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 $31,939 and $38,434, for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amounts payable to Dahn at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $11,239 and $12,403, respectively.

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

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

2009 COMPARED TO 2008

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, revenues decreased 8.3% from $827,672 to $758,742 and total expenses decreased 6.2% from $477,951 to $448,418, resulting in a decrease in net income of 6.6% from $311,240 to $290,654. Rental revenues decreased primarily as a result of lower occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 70.1% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to 79.3% for the same period in 2008. Operating expenses increased $13,605 or 4.4% primarily due to increases in yellow pages advertising and truck lease expense, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and wages.  General and administrative expenses decreased $24,512 or 25.8% primarily as a result of a decrease in legal and professional expenses and computer equipment lease expense, partially offset by an increase in office supplies expense.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, revenues decreased 11.8% from $1,629,354 to $1,436,649 and total expenses decreased 1.2% from $930,922 to $920,204, resulting in a decrease in net income of 24.2% from $621,306 to $471,034. Rental revenues decreased primarily as a result of lower occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 70.2% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to 79.9% for the same period in 2008. Operating expenses increased $39,297 or 6.8% primarily due to increases in yellow pages advertising and truck lease expense, partially offset by decreases in repairs and maintenance and real estate tax expense. General and administrative expenses decreased $14,772 or 7.6% primarily as a result of a decrease in legal and professional expenses and office supplies 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of DSI Properties, Inc., its General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have been no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the reporting period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
