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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.   GENERAL

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  Partnership  has acquired six  mini-storage  facilities  located in
Chico,  Fairfield,  La Verne, and Riverside,  California and Ft. Collins
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  mini-storage  facilities  are  operated  for the
Partnership by Dahn under various agreements that are subject to renewal
annually. Under the terms of the agreements, the Partnership is required
to pay Dahn a property  management fee equal to 5% of gross revenue from
operations, defined as the entire amount of all receipts from the rent-
ing or leasing of storage compartments and sale of locks.

The  accompanying  financial  information  as  of  June 30, 2005, and for
the periods ended June 30, 2005, and 2004, 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  was  calculated  using  the  straight line  method  over the
estimated  useful  life of 15 years.  The  total  cost of  property  and
accumulated  depreciation is as  follows:

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.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

We are pleased to enclose the  Partnership's  unaudited financial statements
for  the  period  ended  June  30,  2005.  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, 2005, and  2004, total  revenues
increased 5.0% from $633,029 to $664,740 and total expenses increased 7.0%
from $345,825 to $369,954 and other income increased from $160 to $161.  As
a result, net income increased 2.6% from $287,364 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2004, to $294,947 for the same period in 2005.  Rental revenue
increased as a result of higher occupancy unit and rental rates.  Occupancy
levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 87.8% for
the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 and 85.1% for the same period in
2004.  The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep
new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.  Operating expenses in-
creased approximately $29,300 (10.4%) primarily as a result of increases in
salaries and wages, purchase of locks, truck insurance and depreciation ex-
penses, partially offset by a decrease in advertising and maintenance and
repair expenses.  General and administrative expenses decreased approximately
$5,200 (8.0%) primarily as a result of a decrease in state tax.

For the six-month  periods  ended  June  30, 2005, and 2004, total revenues
increased 2.6% from $1,275,862 to $1,308,787 and total expenses increased 8.4%
from $661,250 to $716,660 and other income remained constant.  As a result,
net income decreased 3.7% from $614,932 for the six months ended June 30, 2004,
to $592,447 for the same period in 2005.  Rental revenue remained relatively
constant.  Operating expenses increased approximately $52,700 (10.0%) primarily
as a resuylt of increases in real estate tax, purchase of locks, depreciation,
truck insurance and bank and credit card fee expenses, partially offset by a
decrease in advertising expense.  General and administrative expenses increased
approximately $2,700 (2.0%) primarily as a result of an increase in equipment
and comuter lease expense, partially offset by a decrease in state tax payments.

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.

Item 3.   Quantative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
          NONE

Item 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.
