CONWAY, President and Chief Financial Officer April 30, 2004 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 March 31, 2004. 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 March 31, 2004 and 2003, total revenues decreased 1.2% from $650,704 to $642,833, total expenses increased 1.1% from $312,011 to $315,425 and other income decreased from $166 to $160. As a result, net income decreased 3.3% from $338,859 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003, to $327,568 for the same period in 2004. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 82.6% for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, and 87.0% for the same period in 2003. Rental revenue decreased as a result of lower occupancy rates, partially offset by higher unit rental rates. The Partnership is continuing its marketing effort to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini- storage facilities. Operating expenses increased approximately $5,900 (2.5%) primarily as a result of increases in maintenance and repair and salaries expenses, partially offset by a decrease in advertising expense. General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant. The General Partners will 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. 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.

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 accompanying financial information as of March 31, 2004, and for the periods ended March 31, 2004, and 2003 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 is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of 15 years. The total cost of property and accumulated depreciation at March 31, 2004, is as follows: Land $ 2,089,800 Buildings and improvements 7,685,522 Equipment 60,760 Total 9,836,082 Less: Accumulated Depreciation ( 7,746,282) Property - Net $ 2,089,800
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. 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 Parnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls sub- sequent to the date of their evaluation.
