PART I

Item l. BUSINESS

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, Diversified
Investors Agency, a general partnership, whose current partners are 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 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
(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 seven 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 seven properties
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were as follows:



Location of Property Average Occupancy Average Occupancy
Level for the Year Level for the Year
Ended Dec. 31, 2004 Ended Dec. 31, 2003


Vallejo, California 81% 82%

Santa Rosa, California
(both stages) 80% 82%

Arvada, Colorado 79% 80%

Las Vegas, Nevada 85% 86%

Federal Heights, Colorado 79% 82%

Colorado Springs, Colorado 78% 83%


Please refer to the discussion appearing elsewhere herein under the caption
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for a detailed analysis of the results of operations of the
Partnership's 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. PROPERTIES

Registrant owns a fee interest in seven mini-storage facilities, none of
which are subject to long-term indebtedness. Please refer to the discussion
under Business for a discussion of the average occupancy rate for each property
owned by the Partnership. The following table sets forth information as of
December 31, 2004 regarding properties owned by the Partnership.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition - 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.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2004 COMPARED TO 2003

Total revenues decreased from $2,786,419 in 2003 to $2,618,177 in 2004,
while total expenses decreased from $1,547,484 to $1,357,021 and other income
decreased from $879 to $840, resulting in an increase in net income from
$1,239,814 to $1,261,996. Rental revenues decreased primarily as a result of
lower occupancy rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's seven mini-
storage facilities averaged 80.1% for the year 2004 as compared to 85.1% for
2003. The approximate $16,600 (2.0%) increase in operating expenses was due
primarily to increases in advertising and repairs and maintenance expenses,
partially offset by a decrease in salaries and wage expense. General and
administrative expenses decreased approximately $34,800 (14.8%) primarily as
a result of lower legal and professional and equipment and computer lease
expenses, partially offset by an increase in office supplies and printing
expense. The decrease in legal and professional expense is related to un-
successful legal challenges by two dissident Limited Partners to a proposed
amendment to the Partnership Agreement in the prior year (see paragraph below).
The General Partners' incentive management fee which is based on cash available
for distribution, decreased as a result of the decrease in net cash provided
by operating activities reduced by additions to property. Property management
fees, which are based on revenues, decreased as a result of the decrease in
rental revenue.


2003 COMPARED TO 2002

Total revenues decreased from $2,842,325 in 2002 to $2,786,419 in 2003,
while total expenses decreased from $1,777,129 to $1,547,484 and other income
decreased from $1,435 to $879, resulting in an increase in net income from
$1,066,631 to t$1,239,814. Rental revenues decreased as a result of lower
unit rental rates, partially offset by higher occupancy rates. Occupancy
levels for the Partnership's seven mini-storage facilities averaged 85.1% for
the year 2003 as compared to 84.2% for 2002. Depreciation decreased as the
Partnership's properties became essentially fully depreciated during the
current year. Operating expenses remained relatively constant as increases
in real estate tax and salaries and wages expenses was offset by decreases in
maintenance and repair and workers compensation insurance expenses. General
and administrative expenses increased approximatley $31,900 (15.7%) primarily
as a result of higher legal and professional expense, partially offset by
decreases in equipment and computer lease and office supplies and printing
expense. Legal expense increased as a result of legal challenges by dissident
Limited Partners to a proposed amendment to the Partnership Agreement (see
paragraph below). The General Partners' incentive management fee which is
based on cash available for distribution, decreased as a result of the de-
crease in net cash provided by operating activities. Property management fees,
which are based on revenues, decreased as a result of the decrease in rental
revenue.

Operating expenses consists 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, accounting services and computer expenses.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately
$60,100 (4.4%) in 2004 compared to 2003 primarily due to the increase in net
income and customer deposits and other liabilities, partially offset by the
decrease in depreciation. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased
approximately $163,700 (10.8%) in 2003 compared to 2002 primarily due to the
decreases in depreciation, incentive management fees payable and customer
deposits and other liabilities, partially offset by an increase in net income.

Cash used in financing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, has consisted solely of cash distributions to partners. Special
distributions of 1.5%, 1%, and 3.5% of capital contributed by limited partners
were declared and paid on December 15, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, has consisted solely of acquisitions of equipment for the Partnership's
mini storage properties in 2004. The Partnership has no material commitments
for capital expenditures.

In 2003, the Limited Partners approved an amendment to the Partnership
Agreement granting the General Partners ten days to review certain types of
transfers during which the General Partners may match, exeed or approve the
proposed transfers. The Court has rejected all preliminary attempts to halt
implementation of the amendment. Subsequently, the dissident Limited Partners
who initiated the legal proceedings decided not to pursue the matter any
further.

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 distribtuions 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.

Partners of
DSI Realty Income Fund VI:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DSI Realty Income Fund VI,
a California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2004
and 2003, and the related statements of income, changes in partners'
equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31,
2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the
Index at Item 15. These financial statements and the financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsi-
bility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial
statement 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 in-
ternal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 Company'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 e valuating
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 VI at December 31,
2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 VI

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004


1. GENERAL

DSI Realty Income Fund VI, a California Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), has two general partners (DSI Properties, Inc. and
Diversified Investors Agency) and limited partners owning 23,753 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 27, 1981 under the
California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of
acquiring and operating real estate.

The Partnership owns seven mini-storage facilities located in Vallejo,
California; Arvada, Federal Heights and Colorado Springs, Colorado; Las
Vegas, Nevada 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. The mini-storage facilities are
operated for the Partnership by Dahn under various agreements that are
subject to renewal annually. Under the terms of the agreements, the
Partnership is required to pay Dahn a property management fee equal to 6%
of gross revenue from operations, defined as the entire amount of
all receipts from the renting or leasing of storage compartments and
sale of locks.

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
primarily of mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is provided for 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.
Property under capital leases is amortized over 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 is $52,197.

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 contin-
gent 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 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 2004, 2003, or 2002.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Partnership'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.

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.


3. PROPERTY

The total cost of property and accumulated depreciation is as follows
as of December 31:

2004 2003

Land $ 1,759,000 $ 1,759,000
Buildings and improvements 8,631,339 8,618,136
----------- -----------

Total 10,390,339 10,377,136
Less accumulated depreciation (8,615,736) (8,607,547)
----------- ----------

Total $ 1,774,603 $ 1,769,589

Rental trucks under
capital leases 175,116
----------- -----------
Property - net $ 1,949,719 $ 1,769,589
=========== ===========

The rental trucks under capital leases were not placed into service
until January 2005 and therefore no depreciation expense was recorded
during 2004.

The Partnership leases certain vehicles under agreements that meet the
criteria for classification as capital leases which expire in 2008.
Future minimum lease payments under these capital leases at December 31,
2004 are summarized as follows:

2005 $45,000
2006 45,000
2007 45,000
2008 45,000
-------
Total future minimum payment obligations 180,000
Less interest portion 17,384
-------
Present value of net minimum lease payments $162,616
=======

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 loss
es 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. 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 in 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.
