DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VII
(A 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 accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by the
Company'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 regu-
lations. Accordingly, the 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 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, 2007. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006.
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 is as follows:
June 30, 2007 December 31, 2006
Land $ 2,089,800 $ 2,089,800
Buildings and improvements 7,792,522 7,792,522
Rental trucks

Less: Accumulated Depreciation ( 7,869,333) ( 7,845,947)
------------ ------------
Property - Net $ 2,188,105 $ 2,211,491
============ ============
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
$33,882 and $34,757, for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007
and 2006, respectively, and $69,140 and $70,753 for the six month
period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amounts payable to
Dahn at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, were $15,630 and $14,812,
respectively.
In 2004, the Partnership entered into truck lease agreements with KMD
Trucks, LLC ("KMD"). The president of Dahn, Brian Dahn, is also a
member of KMD. Trucks are leased under 48-month leases with total
monthly payments in the amount of $3,750.
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, 2007. The following is Management's
discussion and analysis of the Partnership's financial condition and
results of its operations.
For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, total revenues
decreased 4.8% from $719,919 to $685,459 and total expenses increased 3.8%
from $377,113 to $391,605 and other income increased from $162 to $163. As
a result, net income decreased 14.3% from $342,968 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2006, to $294,017 for the same period in 2007. Rental revenue
decreased primarily as a result of lower occupancy rates. Occupancy levels
for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 83.5% for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2007 and 87.4% for the same period in 2006.
The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new
tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. Operating expenses increased
approximately $19,800 (6.6%) primarily as a result of increases in repairs
and maintenance, real estate tax and salaries and wages expenses. General
and administrative expenses decreased approximately $5,300 (6.8%) primarily
as a result of decreases in incentive management fees and legal and profes-
sional expenses, partially offset by increases in administrative and state
tax expenses.
For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, total revenues
decreased 3.7% from $1,415,053 to $1,362,799 and total expenses increased
3.5% from $753,427 to $779,600 and other income increased from $324 to $325.
As a result, net income decreased 11.8% from $661,950 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2006, to $583,524 for the same period in 2007. Rental revenue
decreased primarily a result of lower occupancy rates. Occupancy levels for
the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities average 81.3% for the six-
month period ended June 30, 2007 and 84.4% for the same period in 2006.
Operating expenses increased approximately $26,700 (4.5%) primarily as a
result of increases in legal, maintenance and repair, real estate tax and
salaries and wages expenses, partially offset by a decrease in advertising,
property management fees and workers' compensation expenses. Property
management fees, which are based on revenue, decreased as a result of the
decrease in rental revenue. General and administrative expenses remained
constant as a result of decreases in incentive management fees and legal
and professional expenses was offset by increases in administrative and state
tax expenses.
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. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
NONE
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 informa-
tion is communicated to the certifying officers on a timely basis. Based on
this evaluation, the Partnership concluded 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.
