BUSINESS 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, Diversified Investors Agency, a general partnership, whose current partners are Robert J. Conway and Joseph W. Conway, brothers. The General Partners are affiliates 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 (l%) 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. Registrant is engaged in the business of investing in and operating mini-storage facilities with the primary objectives of generating, for its partners, cash flow, capital appreciation of its properties, and obtaining federal income tax deductions so that during the early years of operations, all or a portion of such distributable cash may not represent taxable income to its partners. Funds obtained by Registrant during the public offering period of its units were used to acquire six mini-storage facilities. Registrant does not intend to sell additional limited partnership units. The term of the Partnership is fifty years but it is anticipated that Registrant will sell and/or refinance its properties prior to the termination of the Partnership. The Partnership is intended to be self-liquidating and it is not intended that proceeds from the sale or refinancing of its operating properties will be reinvested. Registrant has no full time employees but shares one or more employees with other publicly-held limited partnerships sponsored by the General Partners. The General Partners are vested with authority as to the general management and supervision of the business and affairs of Registrant. Limited Partners have no right to participate in the management or conduct of such business and affairs. An independent management company has been retained to provide day-to-day management services with respect to all of the Partnership's investment properties. The average occupancy level for each of the Partnership's six properties for the years ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 were as follows: Location of Property Average Occupancy Average Occupancy Level for the Level for the Year Ended Year Ended Dec. 31, 1997 Dec. 31, 1996 Chico, California 86% 85% Fairfield, California 92% 87% Ft. Collins, Colorado 84% 81% LaVerne, California 89% 88% Littleton, Colorado 81% 86% Riverside, California 87% 83% The business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive. Each of its mini-storage facilities is located in or near a major urban area, and accordingly, competes with a significant number of individuals and organizations with respect to both the purchase and sale of its properties and for rentals. Generally, Registrant's business is not affected by the change in seasons. Item 2. PROPERTIES Registrant owns a fee interest in six mini-storage facilities, none of which are subject to long-term indebtedness. Additional information is set forth in Registrant's letter to its Limited Partners regarding the Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 2, and incorporated by this reference.

There is no intention to sell additional limited partnership units nor is there a market for these units. Average cash distributions of $10.08 per Limited Partnership Unit were declared and paid each quarter for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $10.00 per Limited Partnership Unit were paid each quarter for the years ended 1996 and 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1997 COMPARED TO 1996 Total revenues increased from $1,868,678 in 1996 to $1,963,464 in 1997, while total expenses increased from $1,416,685 to $1,430,018 resulting in an increase in net income from $451,993 to $533,446. The approximate $96,100 (5.2%) increase in rental revenues can be attributed to higher average occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage units averaged 86.5% for the year ended December 31, 1997 and 85.0% for the year ended December 31, 1996. The Partnership is continuing its advertising campaign to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini- storage facilities. The approximately $12,700 (2.2%) increase in operating expenses was due primarily to an increase in yellow pages advertising costs, maintenance and repair and salaries and wages partially offset by a decrease in real estate tax expenses. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $14,600 (10.1%) primarily as a result of increases in postage, legal and office expenses. Property management fees, which are based on revenue, increased as a result of the increase in rental revenue. General Partners' incentive management fee decreased slightly. 1996 COMPARED TO 1995 Total revenues increased from $1,857,684 in 1995 to $1,868,678 in 1996, while total expenses increased from $1,397,768 to $1,416,685 resulting in a decrease in net income from $459,916 to $451,993. The approximate $12,100 (0.7%) increase in rental revenues can be attributed to higher average occupancy rates partially offset by lower unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partner- ship's six mini-storage units averaged 85% for the year ended December 31, 1996, and 83.5% for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Partnership is continuing its advertising campaign to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini- storage facilities. The approximate $26,900 (5.0%) increase in operating expenses was due primarily to an increase in yellow pages advertising costs, real estate tax expense and salaries and wages. General and administrative expenses, General Partners' incentive management fee and property management feeS remained relatively constant. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately $32,700 (3.3%) in 1997 compared to 1996 primarily due to the increase in net income partially offset by decreases in customer deposits and other liabilities, incentive management fee payable to general partners, other assets and depreciation. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately $9,700 (1.0%) in 1996 compared to 1995 primarily due to the increase in customer deposits and other liabilities partially offset by decreases in net income and incentive management fee payable to general partners. Cash used in financing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash flows, has consisted solely of cash distributions to partners. Cash used in investing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash flows, has consisted solely of acquisitions of equipment for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities. The Partnership has no material commitments for capital expenditures. The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing improvement and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash generated from operations. The Partnership's financial resources appear to be adequate to meet its needs for the next twelve months. The General Partners are not aware of any environmental problems which could have an adverse material effect upon the financial position of the Partnership. Item 8.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Partners of DSI Realty Income Fund VII: We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DSI Realty Income Fund VII, a California Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of income, changes in partners' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partner ship's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DSI Realty Income Fund VII at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VII (A California Real Estate Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 1. GENERAL DSI Realty Income Fund VII, a California Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), has two general partners (DSI Properties, Inc. and Diversified Investors Agency) and limited partners owning 24,000 limited partnership units that were purchased for $500 a unit. The general partners have made no capital contribution to the Partnership and are not required to make any capital contribution in the future. The Partnership has a maximum life of 50 years and was formed on August 1, 1983 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 opera tions, as defined. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Partnership classifies its short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. Property and Depreciation - Property is recorded at cost and is composed primarily of mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 15 years for the facilities. Building improvements are depreciated over a five-year period. Income Taxes - No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. The taxable income or loss of the Partnership is allocated to each partner in accordance with the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership. Each partner's tax status, in turn, determines the appropriate income tax for its allocated share of the Partnership taxable income or loss. The net difference between the bases of the Partnership's assets and liabilities for federal income tax purposes and as reported for financial statement purpose is $1,176,821. Revenues - Rental 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. Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit - Net income per limited partnership unit is computed by dividing net income allocated to the limited partners by the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during each year (24,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995). Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Partnership's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Partnership regularly reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss. No impairment losses were required in 1997, 1996 and 1995. 3. PROPERTY At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the total cost of property and accumulated depreciation are as follows: 1996 1995 Land $ 2,089,800 $ 2,089,800 Buildings and improvements 7,717,469 7,701,481 ----------- ----------- Total 9,807,269 9,791,281 Less accumulated depreciation (6,625,857) (6,116,551) ----------- ---------- Property, net $ 3,181,412 $ 3,674,730 =========== =========== 4. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES AND GENERAL PARTNER MANAGEMENT FEES 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 a real estate 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.
