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  August 1, 1983.  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, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were as follows:

Location of Property       Average Occupancy       Average Occupancy

Colorado Springs, Colorado           82%                  92%

     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, 1995 regarding properties owned by the Partnership.

     Registrant,  a  publicly-held  limited  partnership,  sold  23,753  limited
partnership  units  during its  offering  and as of  December  31,  1995 had 862
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 $14.37 per Limited  Partnership  Unit were
declared  and paid  each  quarter  for the years  ended  December  31,  1995 and
December 31, 1994.  It is  Registrant's  expectations  that  distributions  will
continue to be paid in the future.

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

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1995 COMPARED TO 1994

     Total  revenues  increased  from  $2,410,812 in 1994 to $2,513,723 in 1995,
while total  expenses  increased from  $1,329,740 to $1,406,458  resulting in an
increase in net income from $1,081,072 to $1,107,265.  The  approximate  $97,000
(4%)  increase in rental  revenues can be attributed to higher unit rental rates
as  average  occupancy  decreased  from 88% to 85% for the  Partnership's  seven
mini-storage  facilities  in  1995 as  compared  to  1994.  The  Partnership  is
continuing its marketing  efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various
mini-storage  facilities.  The increase in operating  expenses of  approximately
$29,000 (5.1%) was due primarily to increases in salaries and wages, maintenance
and repair costs and office  expenses  partially  offset by a decrease in yellow
page  advertising  costs.  General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  by
approximately  $27,000 (13.5%) primarily due to higher property  management fees
partially offset by lower professional fees. Property management fees, which are
based on revenue, increased due to the increase in rental income and an increase
in these fees from 5% to 6% of rental income.  The General  Partners'  incentive
management fee remained constant.

1994 COMPARED TO 1993

     Total  revenues  increased  from  $2,218,414 in 1993 to $2,410,812 in 1994,
while total  expenses  increased from  $1,256,159 to $1,329,740  resulting in an
increase in net income from $962,255 to  $1,081,072.  The  approximate  $186,000
(8.4%) increase in rental revenues can be attributed to higher unit rental rates
as average occupancy remained  relatively  constant at 88% for the Partnership's
seven  mini-storage  facilities  in both  1994  and  1993.  The  Partnership  is
continuing its marketing  efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various
mini-storage  facilities.  The increase in operating  expenses of  approximately
$23,000 (4.2%) was due primarily to increases in salaries and wages, maintenance
and repair  costs and  workers'  compensation  insurance  expense.  General  and
administrative  expenses increased by approximately $17,000 (9.3%) primarily due
to higher  professional  fees and property  management  fees, which are based on
revenues. The General Partners' incentive management fee increased approximately
$33,000 (29.2%) primarily due to the increase in cash available for distribution
on which this fee is based.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash  provided  by  operating  activities  increased  by  approximately
$35,000  (2.4%) in 1995  compared to 1994  primarily  due to the increase in net
income.  Net cash provided by operating  activities  increased by  approximately
$531,000  (55.6%) in 1994 compared to 1993  primarily due to the increase in net
income and the  absence of  payments of  deferred  general  partners'  incentive
management fee and property  management fee liabilities,  which were all paid in
1993.  Payment  of  these  fees  had been  deferred  in prior  years in order to
maximize cash available for distribution to the Limited  Partners.  In 1993, the
Partnership  paid all of the  current  year's  fees,  as well as, the  remaining
balance of fees deferred in prior years.  The General  Partners  anticipate that
both the general partners' incentive  management fee and the property management
fee will be paid on a current basis in the future  without  adversely  affecting
cash available for distribution.

     Cash used in financing  activities,  as set forth in the statements of cash
flows,  has consisted solely of cash  distributions to partners.  Effective with
the third quarter 1994  distribution,  the General  Partners decided to increase
distributions  to an amount which yields an  annualized  return of 9% of limited
partners' capital contributions from the previous 8% level. In addition, special
distributions  of 2.5% and 3% were  declared  and paid on December  15, 1995 and
1994 respectively.  These actions were the result of the Partnership's increased
cash flow from the operations of its properties.

     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. The Partnership has no material commitments for capital
expenditures.

     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's resources appear to be adequate to
meet its needs for the next twelve months.

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

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
DSI Realty Income Fund VI:

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of DSI Realty Income Fund VI, a
California Real Estate Limited  Partnership (the  "Partnership")  as of December
31, 1995 and 1994,  and the related  statements of income,  changes in partners'
equity,  and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
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 VI at December 31,
1995 and 1994,  and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three  years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1995 in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VI
(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995


1.   GENERAL

     DSI Realty  Income Fund VI, a California  Real Estate  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 a unit.  The  general
     partners have made no capital  contribution  to the Partnership and are not
     required to make any capital  contribution  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  which 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, as defined.

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 comprised
     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.

     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 taxable income or loss.

     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 (23,753 in 1995, 1994 and 1993).

     Estimates - The  preparation  of financial  statements in  conformity  with
     generally accepted  accounting  principles 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.

3.   PROPERTY

     At December 31, 1995 and 1994,  the total cost of property and  accumulated
     depreciation are as follows:

                                                  1995                1994

                                              -----------         ----------

       Property, net                          $ 4,739,872         $ 5,131,402
                                              ===========         ===========

4.   ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

     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.

     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.  Incentive  management fee payable to general partners at
     December 31, 1995 and 1994 is $3,775 and $5,261, respectively.
