QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VII
DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:
We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited financial statements
for the period ended June 30, 2003. The following is Management's
discussion and analysis of the Partnership's financial condition and
results of its operations.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, and 2002, total revenues
increased 1.8% from $637,269 to $648,778 and total expenses decreased 1.6%
from $330,618 to $325,298 and other income decreased from $259 to $137. As
a result, net income increased 5.4% from $306,910 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2002, to $323,617 for the same period in 2003. Rental revenue
remained relatively constant. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-
storage facilities averaged 89.1% for the three-month period ended June 30,
2003 and 88.8% for the same period in 2002. The Partnership is continuing
its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-
storage facilities. Operating expenses remained constant as increases in
advertising, real estate tax and salaries and wages expenses was offset by
decreases in maintenance and repair, office supplies and workers compensation
insurance expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased approx-
imately $8,100 (11.0%) primarily as a result of a decrease in equipment and
computer lease expense.
For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003, and 2002, total revenues
decreased 0.7% from $1,309,012 to $1,299,482 and total expenses decreased 1.7%
from $648,101 to $637,309 and other income decreased from $503 to $303. As
a result, net income increased 0.2% from $661,414 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002, to $662,476 for the same period in 2003. Rental revenue re-
mained relatively constant. Operating expenses remained constant as increases
in advertising, telephone and real estate tax expenses was offset by decreases
in maintenance and repair, office supplies and workers compensation insurance.
General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $6,300 (4.4%) as
a result of relatively insignificant fluctuations in various accounts.
On April 5, 2002, the General Partners received a copy of a hostile tender
offer from MacKenzie Patterson, Inc. and associated corporations and limited
partnerships to purchase all of the Units in the Partnership. This offer was
also filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the same date. The
General Partners have determined that the hostile tender offer was not in
the best interests of the Limited Partners, that the tender offer was grossly
inadequate given the performance history of the Limited Partnership and the
inherent value of the Units, and recommended that the Limited Partners reject
the hostile tender offer and not tender their Units pursuant thereto. The
offer was subsequently increased and extended to June 30, 2002 and again to
July 22, 2002. The General Partners initial determination regarding the
offer did not change. Prior to the expiration date of the offer, Limited
Partners tendered 74 Units representing 0.308% of the outstanding Units of
the Partnership.
The Limited Partners have approved an amendment to the Partnership Agreement
granting the General Partners ten days to review certain types of transfers
during which the General Partners may match, exceed or approve the proposed
transfers. The Court has rejected all preliminary attempts to halt implemen-
tation of the amendment.
The General Partners will continue their policy of funding improvements
and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash generated from
operations. The Partnership's financial resources appear to be adequate
to meet its needs. The General Partners anticipate distributions to the
Limited Partners to remain at the current level for the foreseeable future.
We are not enclosing a copy of the Partnership Form 10-Q as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission since all the information set forth
therein is contained either in this letter or in the attached financial
statements. However, if you wish to receive a copy of said report, please
send a written request to DSI Realty Income Fund VII, P.O. Box 357,
Long Beach, California 90801.
Very truly yours,

DSI Realty Income Fund VII (the "Partnership"), has two general partners
(DSI Properties, Inc., and Diversified Investors Agency) and limited
partners owning 24,000 limited partnership units. The Partnership was formed
under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose
of acquiring and operating real estate.
The accompanying financial information as of June 30, 2003, and for
the periods ended June 30, 2003, and 2002, is unaudited. Such financial
information includes all adjustments which are considered necessary by the
Partnership's management for a fair presentation of the results for the
periods indicated.
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 15 years. The total cost of property and
accumulated depreciation at June 30, 2003, is as follows:
Land $ 2,089,800
Buildings and improvements 7,685,522

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. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Partnership evaluated
the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation
was performed by the Partnership's Controller with the assistance of the
Partnership's President and the Chief Executive Officer. These disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required
to be disclosed by the Partnership in its periodic reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Commission's
rules and forms, and that the information is communicated to the certifying
officers on a timely basis. Based on this evaluation, the Partnership con-
cluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There
have been no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent
to the date of their evaluation.
