Dated: October 31, 2002 DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VII A California Limited Partnership (Registrant) By__\s\ Robert J. Conway________ DSI Properties, Inc., as General Partner by ROBERT J. CONWAY, President and Chief Financial Officer October 31, 2002 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 September 30, 2002. 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 September 30, 2002 and 2001, total revenues increased 0.3% from $657,158 to $658,822 and total expenses increased 8.9% from $293,879 to $320,133 and other income decreased from $959 to $275. As a result, net income decreased 6.9% from $364,238 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, to $338,964 for the same period in 2002. Rental revenue remained constant, as a decrease in occupancy rates was offset by higher unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini- storage facilities averaged 85.6% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 and 89.6% for the same period in 2001. The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini- storage facilities. Operating expenses increased approximately $30,300 (12.7%) primarily as a result of increases in advertising, maintenance and repair, workers compensation insurance and postage. General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, and 2001, total revenues increased 2.7% from $1,915,834 to $1,967,834 and total expenses increased 9.9% from $881,345 to $968,234 and other income decreased from $3,603 to $778. As a result, net income decreased 3.6% from $1,038,092 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $1,000,378 for the same period in 2002. Rental revenue increased primarily as a result of higher occupancy rates partially offset by lower unit rental rates. Operating expenses increased approximately $66,100 (9.3%) primarily due to increases in advertising, telephone, maintenance and repair, property management fees, office supplies, workers compensation in- surance, bank and credit card fees and postage expenses, partially offset by decreases in security alarm service and postage expenses. Property management fees, which are based on rental income, increased as a result of the increase in rental revenue. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $20,800 (12.0%) primarily as a result of increases in legal and professional and equipment and computer lease expenses. 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 in- adequate given the performance history of the Limited Partnership and the in- herent 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 has not changed. Prior to the expiration date of the offer, Limited Partners tendered 74 Units representing 0.308% of the outstanding Units of the Partner- ship. 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.

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.
