NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Diversified
Historic Investors VII (the "Registrant") and related notes have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements in Form 10-K and
notes thereto, in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2000.

The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented.


NOTE 2 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 28th 2003, the Bakery Apartments was sold. The net proceeds
from the sale were used to pay the expenses of the Registrant.

On June 1, 2002, the Hill Hotel was sold. The net proceeds from the
sale were used to pay the expenses of the Registrant.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

(1) Liquidity

As of June 30, 2001, Registrant had cash of $12,671.
Cash generated from operations is used primarily to fund operating
expenses and debt service. If cash flow proves to be insufficient,
the Registrant will attempt to negotiate loan modifications with the
various lenders in order to remain current on all obligations. The
Registrant is not aware of any additional sources of liquidity.

As of June 30, 2001, Registrant had restricted cash of
$61,317 consisting primarily of funds held as security deposits,
replacement reserves and escrows for taxes and insurance. As a
consequence of the restrictions as to use, Registrant does not deem
these funds to be a source of liquidity.

In recent years the Registrant has realized significant
losses, including the foreclosure of two properties due to the
properties' inability to generate sufficient cash flow to pay
operating expenses and debt service. At the present time, with the
exception of Northern Liberties, the remaining properties are able to
generate enough cash flow to cover their operating expenses and debt
service, but there is no additional cash available to the Registrant
to pay its general and administrative expenses.

It is the Registrant's intention to continue to hold the
properties until they can no longer meet their debt service
requirements and the properties are foreclosed, or the market value of
the properties increases to a point where they can be sold at a price
which is sufficient to repay the underlying indebtedness. With
respect to Northern Liberties, any development of the remaining lot
will require additional funding of capital. The Registrant has not
identified any sources for this funding, and does not anticipate being
able to identify any such sources for the foreseeable future.

On May 28th 2003, the Bakery Apartments was sold. The
net proceeds from the sale were used to pay the expenses of the
Registrant.

On June 1, 2002, the Hill Hotel was sold. The net
proceeds from the sale were used to pay the expenses of the
Registrant.

(2) Capital Resources

Any capital expenditures needed are generally replacement
items and are funded out of cash from operations or replacement
reserves, if any. The Registrant is not aware of any factors which
would cause historical capital expenditure levels not to be indicative
of capital requirements in the future and accordingly, does not
believe that it will have to commit material resources to capital
investment for the foreseeable future. With respect to Northern
Liberties, any development of the remaining lots and building will
require additional funding of capital. The Registrant has not yet
identified any sources for this funding and does not anticipate being
able to do so. While the Registrant will be seeking to sell this
property, the Registrant does not believe that there is an active
market for properties of this sort and accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the property can be sold at a price acceptable to the
Registrant.

(3) Results of Operations
During the second quarter of 2001, Registrant incurred a
net loss of $96,776 ($5.37 per limited partnership unit) compared to a
net loss of $132,171 ($7.33 per limited partnership unit) for the same
period in 2000. For the first six months of 2001, the Registrant
incurred a net loss of $209,392 ($11.62 per limited partnership unit)
compared to a net loss of $270,472 ($15.01 per limited partnership
unit) for the same period in 2000.

Rental income decreased $18,880 from $206,210 in the
second quarter of 2000 to $187,330 in the same period of 2001 and
increased $16,951 from $394,222 for the first six months of 2000 to
$377,271 for the same period in 2001. Rental income decreased during
the second quarter due to a decrease in average occupancy at Flint
Goodridge (95% to 92%) and increased during the first six months due
to an increase in average occupancy at Robidoux (95% to 98%).

Rental operations expense decreased $303 from $105,527 in
the second quarter of 2000 to $105,224 in the same period of 2001 and
increased $19,793 from $200,535 for the first six months of 2000 to
$220,328 for the same period in 2001. Rental operations expense
decreased during the second quarter of 2001 due to a decrease in wages
and salary expense at Flint Goodridge. Rental operations expense
increased in the first six months of 2001 due to an increase in
insurance expense at Robidoux.

Losses incurred during the second quarter at the
Registrant's properties were approximately $85,000, compared to losses
of approximately $70,000 for the same period in 2000. Losses incurred
during the first six months of 2001 at the Registrant's properties
were approximately $175,000 compared to losses of approximately
$148,000 for the same period in 2000.

In the second quarter of 2001, Registrant incurred a loss
of $52,000 at Flint Goodridge including $51,000 of depreciation and
amortization expense, compared to a loss of $35,000, including $51,000
of depreciation and amortization expense for the same period in 2000
and for the first six months of 2001 incurred a loss of $104,000
including $102,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, compared
to a loss of $78,000, including $103,000 of depreciation and
amortization expense for the same period in 2000. The increase in
loss for the second quarter and first six months of 2001 as compared
to the same periods in 2000 is due to a decrease in rental income.
Rental income decreased due to a decrease in average occupancy for the
second quarter and for the first six months (95% to 92%).

In the second quarter of 2001, Registrant incurred a loss of
$33,000 at Robidoux, including $46,000 of depreciation and
amortization expense, compared to a loss of $35,000 including $46,000
of depreciation and amortization expense in the second quarter of 2000
and for the first six months of 2001, Registrant incurred a loss of
$71,000 at Robidoux, including $92,000 of depreciation and
amortization expense, compared to a loss of $70,000, including $92,000
of depreciation and amortization expense for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in loss for the second quarter of 2001, compared to the
same period in 2000 is due to an increase in rental income due to an
increase in average occupancy (95% to 98%). The increase in loss for
the first six months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 is
due to an increase in insurance expense.

Summary of Minority Interest Investments

The Registrant owns a minority interest in the Bakery
Apartments which it accounts for on the cost method. The Registrant
does not include the assets, liabilities, income or expenses of the
Bakery in its consolidated financial statements. The following
operating information is provided for the property. In the second
quarter of 2001, the Bakery Apartments recognized a net income of
$7,000 including $51,000 of depreciation and amortization expense
compared to a loss of $17,000 including $56,000 of depreciation and
amortization expense for the same period in 2000 and for the first six
months of 2001, incurred a net loss of $3,000, including $101,000 of
depreciation and amortization expense compared to a loss of $30,000,
including $111,000 of depreciation and amortization expense for the
same period in 2000. The decrease in the losses from the second
quarter and first six months of 2000 to the same periods in 2001 is
due to an increase in rental income due to an increase in average
rental rates and a decrease in maintenance expense. Maintenance
expense decreased due to an overall decrease in general repairs made
at the building.

On May 28th 2003, the Bakery Apartments was sold. The
net proceeds from the sale were used to pay the expenses of the
Registrant.

The Registrant owns a minority interest in Kensington

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk

All of our assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S.

risks.

We do not engage in any interest rate, foreign currency
exchange rate or commodity price-hedging transactions, and as a
result, we do not have exposure to derivatives risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

communicated to our management, including our managing partner's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance
of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-
benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
