Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Words and phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “designed to achieve”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future – including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, general conditions in the geographic areas where we operate – are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that may affect outcomes and results are beyond our ability to control.

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VII
(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014
1. GENERAL
Registrant, DSI Realty Income Fund VII (the “Partnership”) is a publicly-held limited partnership organized under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act pursuant to a Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (hereinafter referred to as “Agreement”) dated August 1, 1983. The General Partners are DSI Properties, Inc., a California corporation, and RJC Capital Management, LLC and JWC Capital Management, LLC.
DSI Properties, Inc. is an affiliate of Diversified Securities, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSI Financial, Inc. The General Partners provide similar services to other partnerships. Through its public offering of Limited Partnership Units, Registrant sold twenty-four thousand (24,000) units of limited partnership interests aggregating Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000). The General Partners have retained a one percent (1%) interest in all profits, losses and distributions (subject to certain conditions) without making any capital contribution to the Partnership. The General Partners are not required to make any capital contributions to the Partnership in the future.
The Partnership has acquired mini-storage facilities located in Chico, Fairfield, La Verne, and Riverside, California and Littleton, Colorado. All facilities were purchased from Dahn Corporation (“Dahn”). Dahn is not affiliated with the Partnership. Dahn is affiliated with other partnerships in which DSI Properties, Inc. is a general partner.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Partnership’s management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Partnership has adoptedAccounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 comprehensive income equaled net income, as the Partnership had no other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, accumulated other comprehensive income was $0.
ASC 825-10 (formerly SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Partnership. The Partnership considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-07 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting, in order to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The amendments are effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04 Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date, in order to provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
2. PROPERTY
Properties owned by the Partnership are all mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 20 years. Property under capital leases is amortized over the lives of the respective leases. The total cost of property and accumulated depreciation at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were as follows:
March 31, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | |
Land | $ 1,714,700 | $ 1,714,700 |
Buildings and improvements | 6,476,310 | 6,456,123 |
Rental trucks under capital leases | 140,093 | 140,093 |
Total | $ 8,331,103 | $ 8,310,916 |
Less accumulated depreciation | (6,578,185) | (6,575,864) |
Property – net | $ 1,752,918 | $ 1,735,052 |
3. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT
Net income per limited partnership unit is calculated by dividing the net income allocated to the limited partners by the number of limited partnership units outstanding during the period.
4. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES AND GENERAL PARTNERS' INCENTIVE MANAGEMENT FEE
Under the Agreement of Limited Partnership, the general partners are to be allocated 1% of the net profits or losses from operations, and the limited partners are to be allocated the balance of the net profits or losses from operations in proportion to their limited partnership interests. The general partners are also entitled to receive a percentage, based on a predetermined formula, of any cash distribution from the sale, other disposition, or refinancing of the project.
In addition, the general partners are entitled to receive an incentive management fee for supervising the operations of the Partnership. The fee is to be paid in an amount equal to 9% per annum of the cash available for distribution on a cumulative basis, calculated as cash generated from operations less capital expenditures.
5. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Partnership has entered into a management agreement with Dahn to operate its mini-storage facilities. The management agreement provides for a management fee equal to 5% of gross revenue from operations, which is defined as the entire amount of all receipts from the renting or leasing of storage compartments and sale of locks. The management agreement is renewable annually. Dahn earned management fees equal to $25,996 and $24,471, for thethreemonth period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amounts payable to Dahn at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $8,986 and $7,739, respectively.
Beginning in July 2011, the General Partner, DSI Properties, Inc. performs all tax related work with respect to the Partnership. These services are paid monthly in theamount of $3,826. Tax fees paid to DSI Properties, Inc. for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $11,478.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As part of our ongoing due-diligence process as General Partners, you are being advised that the various DSI Limited Partnerships in which you may be an investor (the “Partnerships”) are in the process of obtaining an open market valuation of their self storage properties portfolio (the “Properties”). In this regard, The Partnerships have retained Bancap Self Storage Group, Inc. (“Bancap”) as their valuation consultant. Bancap is an industry leader in self storage property sales and marketing, and is uniquely positioned to obtain the best indication of potential market value.
Once the analysis has been completed, your General Partners will inform you as to the strategic options that may be available so that any recommendation can be presented to Limited Partners of the respective Partnerships.
ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue recognition - Revenue is recognized using the accrual method based on contractual amounts provided for in the lease agreements, which approximates recognition on a straight-line basis. The term of the lease agreements is usually less than one year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
2014 COMPARED TO 2013
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, revenues increased 11.2% to $532,122 from $478,592 and total expenses increased 14.0% to $377,883 from $331,475 resulting in an increase in net income of 4.8% to $154,239 from $147,117. Rental revenues increased primarily as a result of higher unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 83.5% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014,compared to67.3% for the same period in 2013.Operating expenses increased $31,994 or 14.8% primarily due to increases in advertising and repair and maintenance; partially offset by a decrease in ground maintenance expenses.General and administrative expenses increased $16,560 or 21.7% primarily as a result of a increase in legal and professional and office supplies expenses.
The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing improvement and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash generated from operations. In addition, the Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not required.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of DSI Properties, Inc., its General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
