QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX
DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:
We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited financial
statements for the period ended September 30, 2002. The following is
Management's discussion and analysis of the Partnership's financial
condition and results of its operations.
For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, total
revenues decreased 2.1% from $805,170 to $787,933 and total expenses decreased
3.6% from $450,307 to $434,102 and other income decreased from $783 to $224.
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased 8.6% from
$39,652 to $36,115. As a result, net income increased 0.6% from $315,994 to
$317,940 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, as compared to
the same period in 2001. Rental revenue decreased as a result of lower
occupancy rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage
facilities averaged 83.3% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002
as compared to 87.8% for the same period in 2001. The Partnership is con-
tinuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various
mini-storage facilities. Operating expenses decreased approximately $20,000
(5.0%) due primarily to a decrease in maintenance and expense, partially off-
set by increases in workers compensation insurance and postage expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $3,800 (8.2%)
primarily as a result of an increase in equipment and computer lease expense.
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased as a result
of lower rental revenue at that facility.
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, and 2001, total revenues
decreased 1.3% from $2,391,231 to $2,359,578 and total expenses increased 4.8%
from $1,324,117 to $1,387,028 and other income decreased from $2,965 to $635.
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased 15.9% from
$126,136 to $106,042. As a result, net income decreased 8.1% from $943,943
to $867,143 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, as compared
to the same period in 2001. Rental revenue decreased as a result of lower
occupancy rates. Operating expenses increased approximately $35,400 (3.1%)
due primarily to increases in advertising, telephone, legal and professional,
office supplies, salaries and wages, workers compensation insurance, security
alarm services, travel and postage expenses, partially offset by decreases in
repair and maintenance and power and sweeping expenses. Power and sweeping
expenses decreased as the substantial snow removal costs, associated with
heavy snowfalls in area of Illinois and Michigan where Partnership facilities
are located, were not incurred in the current period. General and administra-
tive expenses increased approximately $27,600 (15.4%) as a result of increases
in legal and professional and equipment and computer lease expenses. The
decrease in minority interest in income of real estate joint venture was
discussed above.
On April 5, 2002, the General Partners received a copy of a hostile tender
offer from MacKenzie Patterson, Inc. and associated corporations and limited
partnerships to purchase all of the Units in the Partnership. This offer was
also filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the same date. The
General Partners have determined that the hostile tender offer was not in the
best interests of the Limited Partners, that the tender offer was grossly in-
adequate given the performance history of the Limited Partnership and the
inherent value of the Units, and recommended that the Limited Partners reject
the hostile tender offer and not tender their Units pursuant thereto. The
offer was subsequently increased and extended to June 30, 2002 and again to
July 22, 2002. The General Partners' initial determination regarding the
offer has not changed. Prior to the expiration date of the offer, Limited
Partners tendered 22 Units representing 0.072% of the outstanding Units of
the Partnership.
The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding improvements
and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash generated from
operations. The Partnership's resources appear to be adequate to meet
its needs. The General Partners anticipate distributions to Limited
Partners to remain at the current level for the foreseeable future.
We are not enclosing a copy of the Partnership Form 10-Q as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission since all the information set forth
therein is contained either in this letter or in the attached financial
statements. However, if you wish to receive a copy of said report, please
send a written request to DSI Realty Income Fund IX, P.O. Box 357, Long
Beach, California 90801.
Very truly yours,
