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 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 EVENT
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 September 30, 2001, Registrant had cash of $13,430.
Such funds are expected to be used to pay the liabilities of
Registrant, and to fund cash deficits of the properties. 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 September 30, 2001, Registrant had restricted cash
of $69,921 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. 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 (or its interests therein) 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 Liberty, any
development of the remaining lot will require additional funding of
capital. The Registrant has not yet 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 third quarter of 2001, Registrant incurred a
net loss of $97,605 ($5.42 per limited partnership unit) compared to a
net loss of $132,947 ($7.38 per limited partnership unit) for the same
period in 2000. For the first nine months of 2001, the Registrant
incurred a net loss of $306,996 ($17.04 per limited partnership unit)
compared to a loss of $403,418 ($22.39 per limited partnership unit)
for the same period in 2000.
Rental income decreased $13,987 from $200,013 in the
third quarter of 2000 to $186,026 in the same period of 2001 and
decreased $30,937 from $594,235 for the first nine months of 2000 to
$563,298 for the same period in 2001. The decreases for the third
quarter and the first nine months from 2000 to the same periods in
2001 is due to a decrease in rental income at Flint Goodridge,
partially offset by an increase in rental income at Robidoux. Rental
income decreased at Flint Goodridge due to a decrease in the average
occupancy for the third quarter and the first nine months (95% to
90%). Rental income increased at Robidoux due to an increase in
average monthly rental rates.
Rental operations expense decreased $7,297 from $105,478
in the third quarter of 2000 to $98,181 in the same period of 2001.
The decrease in rental operations expense for the third quarter of
2000 to the same period in 2001 is due to a decrease in miscellaneous
operating expense at Flint Goodridge and a decrease in maintenance
expense at Robidoux, partially offset by an increase in wages and
salaries at Flint Goodridge.
Rental operations expense increased $12,496 from $306,013
in the first nine months of 2000 to $318,509 in the same period of
2001. The increase in rental operations expense for the first nine
months of 2000 to the same period in 2002 is due to an increase in
insurance expense, utilities expense and wages and salaries expense at
Robidoux.
General and administrative expenses decreased $42,000
from $42,000 in the third quarter of 2000 to $0 in the same period of
2001 and for the first nine months decreased $126,000 from $126,000 in
the first nine months of 2000 to $0 in the same period of 2001. The
Registrant ceased accruing partnership administration fees in 2000.
The cash flow and debt of the Registrant make it unlikely that these
fees will be paid.
Losses incurred during the third quarter at the
Registrant's properties were approximately $78,000, compared to a loss
of approximately $71,000 for the same period in 2000. For the first
nine months of 2001 losses incurred at the Registrant's properties
were approximately $254,000 compared to a loss of approximately
$220,000 for the same period in 2000.
In the third quarter of 2001, Registrant recognized a net
loss of $45,000 at Flint Goodridge including $51,000 of depreciation
and amortization expense, compared to a loss of $38,000, including
$51,000 of depreciation and amortization expense for the same period
in 2000. For the first nine months of 2001, Registrant incurred a loss
of $150,000 including $154,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense, compared to a loss of $116,000 including $154,000 of
depreciation and amortization expense for the same period in 2000. The
increase in the loss from the third quarter and the first nine months
of 2000 to the same periods in 2001 is due to an increase in wages and
salaries, a decrease in rental income, partially offset by a decrease
in miscellaneous operating expense. The increase in wages and salaries
is due to an increase in managers salaries. The decrease in rental
income is due to a decrease in the average occupancy (95% to 90%).
The decrease in miscellaneous operating expense is due to a decrease
in general expenses made at the property.
In the third 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 $33,000, including $46,000
of depreciation and amortization expense in 2000. For the first nine
months of 2001, Registrant incurred a loss of $104,000 including
$138,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, compared to a loss
of $104,000, including $137,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense for the same period in 2000. The net loss during the first
quarter and the first nine months of 2001 compared to those incurred
during the same period of 2000 remained the same. The overall change
from the first nine months of 2000 to the same period in 2001 is due
to an increase in insurance expense, utilities expense and wages and
salaries expense, partially offset by an increase in rental income and
a decrease in maintenance expense. The increase in insurance expense
is due to market conditions. The increase in utilities expense is due
to an increase in electricity charges. The increase in wages and
salaries expense is due to an increase in managers salaries. The
increase in rental income is due to an increase in average monthly
rental rates. The decrease in maintenance expense is due to a
decrease in maintenance services.
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 third
quarter of 2001, the Bakery Apartments incurred a loss of $16,000
including $50,000 of depreciation and amortization expense compared to
a loss of $37,000 including $56,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense for the same period in 2000 and for the first nine months of
2001 incurred a loss of $19,000 including $152,000 of depreciation and
amortization expense compared to a loss of $72,000 including $167,000
of depreciation and amortization expense for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in the loss from the third quarter and the first nine
months of 2000 to the same period in 2001 is due to an increase in
rental income combined with a decrease in maintenance expense. The
increase in rental income is due to the increase in the average
occupancy (93% to 99%). Maintenance expense decreased due to a
decrease in general building repairs made at the property. The Bakery
Apartments was sold on May 28, 2003. The net proceeds from the sale
were used to pay the expenses of the Registrant.
The Registrant owns a minority interest in Kensington
Tower which it accounts for on the equity method. The Registrant does
not include the assets or liabilities of Kensington Tower in its
consolidated financial statements. The following operating
information is provided for the property. In the third quarter of
2001, Registrant incurred a loss of $7,000 compared to a loss of
$6,000 for the same period in 2000. The increase in the loss from the
third quarter of 2000 to the same period in 2001 is due to an increase
in overall operating expenses at the property. For the first nine
months of 2001, Registrant incurred a loss of $16,000 at Kensington
Tower compared to a loss of $23,000 for the same period of 2000. The
decrease in the loss from the first nine months of 2000 to the same
period in 2001 is due to in increase in rental income. The Hill Hotel
was sold on June 1, 2002. The net proceeds from the sale were used to
pay the expenses of the Registrant.

About Market Risk

principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as

executive officer and principal financial officer we have carried out
