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, 2008.  These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007.

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.  Property under capital leases is
amortized over the lives of the respective leases.  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.

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
$34,365 and $35,258, for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively, and $69,764 and $69,140 for the six month period
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively.  Amounts payable to Dahn at
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, were $14,429 and $14,890, 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.

6.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
the net income of a mini-storage facility located in Fort Collins,
Colorado is reflected in the statement of income as discontinued
operations for all periods presented.

In June 2008, a sales agreement was signed with Pedersen Properties, LP,
whereby it would acquire the Partnerships' mini-storage facility in
Fort Collins, Colorado for a gross sales price of $4,147,500.  Escrow
is scheduled to close in August 2008.

The following table summarizes the revenue and expense components that
comprise discontinued operations:

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, 2008.  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, 2008 and 2007, total revenues
decreased 4.3% from $560,776 to $585,022 and total expenses increased 5.4%
from $327,176 to $344,803 and income from discontinued operations increased
from $60,417 to $70,582.  As a result, net income increased 5.7% from
$294,017 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, to $310,801 for
the same period in 2008.  Rental revenue increased as a result of higher
occupancy and unit rental rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partnerships'
six mini-storage facilities averaged 82.6% for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2008 and 83.5% for the same period in 2007.  The Partnership
is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its
various mini-storage facilities.  Operating expenses increased approximately
$10,500 (4.1%) primarily as a result of increases in advertising and salaries
and wages expenses, partially offset by decreases in legal and maintenance
and repair expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased approx-
imately $7,100 (9.8%) primarily as a result of increases in legal and
professional and incentive management fees, partially offset by a decrease
in state tax payments.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, and 2007, total revenues
increased 3.4% from $1,118,808 to $1,157,058 and total expenses increased
6.4% from $649,934 to $691,249 and income from discontinued operations in-
creased from $114,650 to $129,900.  As a result, net income increased 2.1%
from $583,524 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, to $595,709
for the same period in 2008.  Rental revenue increased primarily as a result
of higher occupancy and unit rental rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partner-
ships' six mini-storage facilities averaged 82.6% for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2007 and 81.3% for the same period in 2007. Operating expenses
increased approximately $36,600 (7.5%) primarily as a result of increases
in adverstising and salaries and wages, partially offset by decreases in
legal, purchase of locks and packing materials and maintenance and repair
expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased approximately
$4,700 (3.0%) primarily as a result of an increase in legal and professional
expense, partially offset by a decrease in state tax payment.

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 4T.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure 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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Partnership's internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.
