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 June 30, 1997. The following is Management's
discussion and analysis of the Partnership's financial condition and
results of its operations.
For the three month period ended June 30, 1997, and 1996, total revenues
increased 3.2% from $475,815 to $490,974 and total expenses increased 13.5%
from $351,030 to $398,393. As a result, net income decreased 25.8% from
$124,785 for the three month period ended June 30, 1996, to $92,581 for the
same period in 1997. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage
facilities averaged 89.4% for the three month period ended June 30, 1997,
and 87.6% for the same period in 1996. Rental revenue increased as a result
of higher occupancy and 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 $42,300 (13.5%) as a
result of increases in yellow pages advertising costs, maintenance and repair,
office and salaries and wage expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased approximately $5,100 (13.9%) primarily as a result of Colorado State
Taxes, which were levied for the first time, partially offset by a decrease in
incentive management fees. Incentive management fees which are based on cash
available for distribution, decreased as a result of the decrease in net
income.
For the six month periods ended June 30, 1997, and 1996, total revenues
increased 2.2% from $941,171 to $962,290 and total expenses increased 6.7%
from $712,589 to $760,188. As a result, net income decreased 11.6% from
$228,582 for the six months ended September 30, 1996, to $202,102 for the
same period in 1997. Rental revenue increased as a result of higher occupancy
and unit rental rates during the first six months of the period.
Operating expenses increased approximately $42,800 (7%) primarily due to the
same reasons as discussed above. General and administrative expenses
increased approximately $4,800 (4.9%) primarily due to the same reasons as
discussed above.
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.
Very truly yours,
