Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments

have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 9,348,880 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (2,986,680) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 6,362,200 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 44,427,268 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 9,859 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 26,302 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 77,586 | 58,190 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 54,804 | 12,141 |
| | | $ 168,551 | $ 70,331 |
Biotechnology
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 9,899 | |
Class T | 4,206 | |
Class B* | 26,420 | |
Class C* | 1,336 | |
| $ 41,861 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 22,312 | .57* |
Class T | 37,143 | .71* |
Class B | 45,090 | .58* |
Class C | 23,196 | .42* |
Institutional Class | 1,274 | .26* |
| $ 129,015 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $18,923 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR agreed to reimburse each class to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
| | |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 11,473 |
Class T | 1.75% | 22,717 |
Class B | 2.25% | 24,042 |
Class C | 2.25% | 8,314 |
Institutional Class | 1.25% | - |
| | $ 66,546 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $5,338 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $49.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Consumer Industries Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 12,752 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 39,580 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 85,911 | 64,434 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 32,824 | 5,407 |
| | | $ 171,067 | $ 69,841 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 21,645 | .42* |

Class C | 11,682 | .36* |
Institutional Class | 1,928 | .46* |
| $ 103,452 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $10,421 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Cyclical Industries Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 8,393 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 16,254 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 53,356 | 40,017 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 33,957 | 8,366 |
| | | $ 111,960 | $ 48,383 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

| $ 30,172 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 13,567 | .41* |

Class C | 9,400 | .28* |
Institutional Class | 1,989 | .39* |
| $ 58,761 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $4,571 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 2,404,114 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (293,676) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 2,110,438 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 16,318,383 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund realized a gain on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the fund.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 2,185 | $ 136 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 6,550 | 268 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 13,210 | 10,045 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 8,229 | 2,888 |
| | | $ 30,174 | $ 13,337 |

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 8,260 | |
Class T | 1,605 | |
Class B* | 14,311 | |
Class C* | 3,191 | |
| $ 27,367 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 3,834 | .44* |
Class T | 8,104 | .62* |
Class B | 7,428 | .56* |

Institutional Class | 201 | .05* |
| $ 23,549 | |
* Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $3,310 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Electronics Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 14,234,581 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (4,280,546) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 9,954,035 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 57,770,635 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 12,957 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 43,470 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 67,463 | 50,597 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 83,373 | 15,749 |

The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates.

5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund estimates the components of the distributions received from Real Estate Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/ or realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments

have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 130,391,641 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (4,047,753) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 126,343,888 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 432,611,400 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 74,237 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 401,242 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 997,202 | 747,902 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 498,309 | 33,225 |
| | | $ 1,970,990 | $ 781,127 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $8,693 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 65,761,342 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 829,209,679 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 128,960 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 640,082 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 1,544,674 | 1,158,506 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 719,384 | 42,264 |
| | | $ 3,033,100 | $ 1,200,770 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Class T | 19,279 | |
Class B* | 420,670 | |
Class C* | 6,180 | |
| $ 469,399 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 215,912 | .42* |
Class T | 513,072 | .40* |
Class B | 643,285 | .42* |
Class C | 259,845 | .36* |
Institutional Class | 30,928 | .27* |
| $ 1,663,042 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $54,744 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $199,542 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $218.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Natural Resources Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 30,100 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 420,986 | 2,206 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 282,486 | 211,865 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 118,347 | 14,411 |
| | | $ 851,919 | $ 228,482 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |

| $ 443,803 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $21,293 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.

The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $96,526 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Telecommunications & Utilities Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 33,067,449 |
Unrealized depreciation | (13,443,708) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 19,623,741 |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 195,274,812 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 27,451 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 140,526 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 446,305 | 334,730 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 188,406 | 8,923 |
| | | $ 802,688 | $ 343,653 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 5,171 |
Class T | 4,167 |
Class B* | 142,131 |
Class C* | 1,209 |
| $ 152,678 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 65,289 | .59* |
Class T | 170,604 | .61* |
Class B | 260,151 | .58* |
Class C | 95,683 | .51* |
Institutional Class | 6,057 | .43* |
| $ 597,784 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $12,547 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR agreed to reimburse each class to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
| | |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 1,985 |

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Biotechnology Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments

have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 9,348,880 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (2,986,680) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 6,362,200 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 44,427,268 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 9,859 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 26,302 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 77,586 | 58,190 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 54,804 | 12,141 |
| | | $ 168,551 | $ 70,331 |
Biotechnology
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 9,899 | |
Class T | 4,206 | |
Class B* | 26,420 | |
Class C* | 1,336 | |
| $ 41,861 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 22,312 | .57* |
Class T | 37,143 | .71* |
Class B | 45,090 | .58* |
Class C | 23,196 | .42* |
Institutional Class | 1,274 | .26* |
| $ 129,015 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $18,923 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR agreed to reimburse each class to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
| | |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 11,473 |
Class T | 1.75% | 22,717 |
Class B | 2.25% | 24,042 |
Class C | 2.25% | 8,314 |
Institutional Class | 1.25% | - |
| | $ 66,546 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $5,338 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $49.

Consumer Industries
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Consumer Industries Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 12,752 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 39,580 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 85,911 | 64,434 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 32,824 | 5,407 |
| | | $ 171,067 | $ 69,841 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $10,421 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Cyclical Industries
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Cyclical Industries Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 5,283,637 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 37,150,456 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 8,393 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 16,254 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 53,356 | 40,017 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 33,957 | 8,366 |
| | | $ 111,960 | $ 48,383 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

| $ 30,172 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 13,567 | .41* |

Class C | 9,400 | .28* |
Institutional Class | 1,989 | .39* |
| $ 58,761 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $4,571 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $3,281 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses.

Developing Communications
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Developing Communications Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 2,404,114 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (293,676) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 2,110,438 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 16,318,383 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund realized a gain on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the fund.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 2,185 | $ 136 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 6,550 | 268 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 13,210 | 10,045 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 8,229 | 2,888 |
| | | $ 30,174 | $ 13,337 |
Developing Communications
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC | |
Class A | $ 8,260 | |
Class T | 1,605 | |
Class B* | 14,311 | |
Class C* | 3,191 | |
| $ 27,367 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |
Class A | $ 3,834 | .44* |
Class T | 8,104 | .62* |
Class B | 7,428 | .56* |
Class C | 3,982 | .49* |
Institutional Class | 201 | .05* |
| $ 23,549 | |
* Annualized
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $3,310 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Electronics Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |

Class C | .75% | .25% | 83,373 | 15,749 |
| | | $ 207,263 | $ 66,346 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $10,514 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Financial Services Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund estimates the components of the distributions received from Real Estate Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/ or realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments

have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 130,391,641 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (4,047,753) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 126,343,888 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 432,611,400 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 74,237 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 401,242 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 997,202 | 747,902 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 498,309 | 33,225 |
| | | $ 1,970,990 | $ 781,127 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Class C* | 2,983 | |
| $ 274,723 | |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |

| $ 912,305 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $8,693 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Health Care Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 128,960 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 640,082 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 1,544,674 | 1,158,506 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 719,384 | 42,264 |
| | | $ 3,033,100 | $ 1,200,770 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $54,744 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $199,542 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $218.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Natural Resources Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 61,725,756 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (3,938,933) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 57,786,823 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 269,580,780 | |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 30,100 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 420,986 | 2,206 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 282,486 | 211,865 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 118,347 | 14,411 |
| | | $ 851,919 | $ 228,482 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $21,293 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Technology Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,112,132,829 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 177,199 | $ - |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 1,064,662 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 2,205,820 | 1,654,365 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 788,701 | 66,260 |
| | | $ 4,236,382 | $ 1,720,625 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Class C* | 14,403 |
| $ 601,994 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
| Amount | % of Average Net Assets |

Institutional Class | 18,631 | .28* |
| $ 3,036,467 | |
* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $96,526 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Telecommunications & Utilities Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 33,067,449 |
Unrealized depreciation | (13,443,708) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 19,623,741 |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 195,274,812 |
Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the fund less than 60 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to 1.00% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 27,451 | $ - |

Class C | .75% | .25% | 188,406 | 8,923 |
| | | $ 802,688 | $ 343,653 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 5,171 |
Class T | 4,167 |
Class B* | 142,131 |

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $12,547 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR agreed to reimburse each class to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
| | |
Class A | 1.50% | $ 1,985 |
Class T | 1.75% | 8,628 |
Class B | 2.25% | 2,966 |
| | $ 13,579 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $95,429 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $23.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.
With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:
First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.
Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.
For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund estimates the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Semiannual Report
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net realized gain for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 8,717,066 |
Unrealized depreciation | (308,435) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 8,408,631 |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 53,169,099 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30%
Semiannual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Management Fee - continued
of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 8,968 | $ 1,428 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 38,072 | 2,682 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 37,684 | 29,696 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 40,868 | 32,207 |
| | | $ 125,592 | $ 66,013 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.
With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:
First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.
Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.
For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

For the period ended January 31, 2004 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Advisor Real Estate Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Advisor Series VII (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund estimates the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Semiannual Report
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from net realized gain for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 8,717,066 |
Unrealized depreciation | (308,435) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 8,408,631 |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 53,169,099 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30%
Semiannual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Management Fee - continued
of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and, the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution Fee | Service Fee | Paid to FDC | Retained by FDC |

Class T | .25% | .25% | 38,072 | 2,682 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 37,684 | 29,696 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 40,868 | 32,207 |
| | | $ 125,592 | $ 66,013 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares of the fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, and .25% for certain purchases of Class A and Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained by FDC |
Class A | $ 18,500 |
Class T | 5,445 |
Class B* | 3,220 |
Class C* | 1,761 |
| $ 28,926 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
