CNL INCOME FUND VII, LTD.
(A Florida Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Quarters Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002


1. Basis of Presentation:
---------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and note disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
which are, in the opinion of the general partners, necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, may not be indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.
Amounts as of December 31, 2002, included in the financial statements,
have been derived from audited financial statements as of that date.

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K of CNL
Income Fund VII, Ltd. (the "Partnership") for the year ended December
31, 2002.

The Partnership accounts for its 83% interest in San Antonio #849 Joint
Venture using the consolidation method. Minority interest represents
the minority joint venture partners' proportionate share of the equity
in the Partnership's consolidated joint venture. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In January 2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" to expand upon and
strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company
should include the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity
in its financial statements. To improve financial reporting by
companies involved with variable interest entities (more commonly
referred to as special-purpose entities or off-balance sheet
structures), FIN 46 requires that a variable interest entity be
consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority risk
of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to
receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. Prior to
FIN 46, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated
financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting
interests. Consolidation of variable interest entities will provide
more complete information about the resources, obligations, risks and
opportunities of the consolidated company. The consolidation
requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities
created after January 31, 2003, and to older entities, in the first
fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The
general partners believe adoption of this standard may result in either
consolidation or additional disclosure requirements with respect to the
Partnership's unconsolidated joint ventures or properties held with
affiliates of the general partners as tenants-in-common, which are
currently accounted for under the equity method. However, such
consolidation is not expected to significantly impact the Partnership's
results of operations.

2. Reclassification:
----------------

Certain items in the prior year's financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to 2003 presentation. These reclassifications
had no effect on total partners' capital or net income.





ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

CNL Income Fund VII, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a Florida limited
partnership that was organized on August 18, 1989, to acquire for cash, either
directly or through joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements, both newly
constructed and existing restaurants, as well as land upon which restaurants
were to be constructed (the "Properties"), which are leased primarily to
operators of national and regional fast-food restaurant chains. The leases
generally are triple-net leases, with the lessees responsible for all repairs
and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities. As of March 31, 2003
and 2002, the Partnership owned 18 Properties directly and 17 Properties
indirectly through joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements.

Capital Resources

For the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership
generated cash from operating activities of $711,621 and $655,879, respectively.
The increase in cash from operating activities for the quarter ended March 31,
2003, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, was a result of changes
in the Partnership's working capital and changes in income and expenses.

At March 31, 2003, the Partnership had $1,004,014 in cash and cash
equivalents, as compared to $972,797 at December 31, 2002. The funds remaining
at March 31, 2003, after payment of distributions and other liabilities, will be
used to invest in an additional Property and to meet the Partnership's working
capital needs.

Short-Term Liquidity

The Partnership's investment strategy of acquiring Properties for cash
and leasing them under triple-net leases to operators who generally meet
specified financial standards minimizes the Partnership's operating expenses.
The general partners believe that the leases will continue to generate cash flow
in excess of operating expenses.

The Partnership's short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of
the operating expenses of the Partnership.

The general partners have the right, but not the obligation, to make
additional capital contributions if they deem it appropriate in connection with
the operations of the Partnership.

The Partnership generally distributes cash from operations remaining
after the payment of operating expenses of the Partnership, to the extent that
the general partners determine that funds are available for distribution. Based
on current and anticipated future cash from operations, the Partnership declared
distributions to the limited partners of $675,000 for each of the quarters ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002. This represents distributions for each applicable
quarter of $0.023 per unit. No distributions were made to the general partners
for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. No amounts distributed to the
limited partners for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are required to
be or have been treated by the Partnership as a return of capital for purposes
of calculating the limited partners' return on their adjusted capital
contributions. The Partnership intends to continue to make distributions of cash
available for distribution to the limited partners on a quarterly basis.

Total liabilities of the Partnership, including distributions payable,
were $748,902 at March 31, 2003, as compared to $733,847 at December 31, 2002.
The increase in liabilities was primarily a result of an increase in accounts
payable and amounts due to related parties at March 31, 2003, as compared to
December 31, 2002. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in rents paid
in advance and deposits. The general partners believe that the Partnership has
sufficient cash on hand to meet its current working capital needs.






Long-Term Liquidity

The Partnership has no long-term debt or other long-term liquidity
requirements.

Results of Operations

Total rental revenues were $443,160 during the quarter ended March 31,
2003, as compared to $447,043 during the same period of 2002. Rental revenues
during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to the quarter ended March
31, 2002, remained constant as there was no change in the leased property
portfolio.

The Partnership also earned $213,573 attributable to net income earned
by joint ventures during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to
$155,988 during the same period of 2002. The increase in net income earned by
joint ventures was partially attributable to earnings recorded from Arlington
Joint Venture acquired in June 2002 with affiliates of the general partners.
During 2002, net income earned by joint ventures was lower because the tenant of
the Property owned by Duluth Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owns a 56%
interest, experienced financial difficulties and ceased making rental payments.
As a result, Duluth Joint Venture stopped recording rental revenues during the
quarter ended March 31, 2002. However, during the second quarter of 2002, the
tenant resumed making rental payments to the joint venture.

The Partnership also earned $536 in interest and other income during the
quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to $8,383 during the same period of
2002. Interest and other income were lower during the quarter ended March 31,
2003 due to a decrease in the average cash balance as a result of the
reinvestment of sales proceeds in additional Properties through joint venture
arrangements during 2002, the collection of a promissory note, as well as a
decline in interest rates.

Operating expenses including depreciation expense were $159,954 during
the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to $156,491 during the same period
of 2002. Operating expenses were higher during the quarter ended March 31, 2003,
as compared to the same period of 2002, because of a new state tax filing
requirement in a state in which the Partnership conducts business.

In January 2003, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" to expand upon and strengthen
existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include the
assets, liabilities and activities of another entity in its financial
statements. To improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable
interest entities (more commonly referred to as special-purpose entities or
off-balance sheet structures), FIN 46 requires that a variable interest entity
be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority risk of
loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a
majority of the entity's residual returns or both. Prior to FIN 46, a company
generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only
if it controlled the entity through voting interests. Consolidation of variable
interest entities will provide more complete information about the resources,
obligations, risks and opportunities of the consolidated company. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest
entities created after January 31, 2003, and to older entities, in the first
fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The general
partners believe adoption of this standard may result in either consolidation or
additional disclosure requirements with respect to the Partnership's
unconsolidated joint ventures or properties held with affiliates of the general
partners as tenants-in-common, which are currently accounted for under the
equity method. However, such consolidation is not expected to significantly
impact the Partnership's results of operations.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.






ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The general partners maintain a set of disclosure controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
Partnership's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. The principal executive
and financial officers of the corporate general partner have evaluated the
Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days prior to the
filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Subsequent to the above evaluation, there were no significant changes in
internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these
controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
