PART I This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those identified herein. ITEM 1. BUSINESS - ------ Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-VII ("KRLP-VII") was formed on August 21, 1984 by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. KRLP-VII issued all of the General Partner Interests to two General Partners, The Krupp Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, and The Krupp Company Limited Partnership-II, a Massachusetts limited partnership. KRLP-VII also issued all of the Original Limited Partner Interests to The Krupp Company Limited Partnership-II. On November 2, 1984, KRLP-VII commenced an offering of up to 40,000 units of Investor Limited Partner Interest (the "Units") for $1,000 per Unit. The public offering was closed on April 25, 1986, at which time 27,184 Units had been sold. For additional details, see Note A to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report. The primary business of KRLP-VII is to invest in, operate, refinance and ultimately dispose of a diversified portfolio of residential real estate. KRLP-VII considers itself to be engaged in only one industry segment, investment in real estate. On December 19, 1984 the General Partners formed Krupp Realty Courtyards Limited Partnership ("Realty-VII") as a prerequisite for the refinancing of Courtyards Village East Apartments ("Courtyards Village"). At the same time, the General Partners transferred ownership of Courtyards Village to Realty-VII. The General Partner of Realty-VII is KRLP-VII. The Limited Partners of Realty-VII are KRLP-VII and The Krupp Corporation ("Krupp Corp."). Krupp Corp. has beneficially assigned its interest in Realty-VII to KRLP-VII. On March 31, 1994, the General Partners formed Windsor Partners Limited Partnership ("Windsor L.P.") as a prerequisite for the refinancing of Windsor Apartments. At the same time, the General Partners transferred ownership of the property to Windsor L.P. In exchange for the property, KRLP-VII received 99% Limited Partnership interest in Windsor L.P. The General Partner of Windsor L.P. is ST. Windsor Corporation, which has a 1% interest in Windsor L.P. and is 100% owned by KRLP-VII. KRLP-VII, Realty-VII and Windsor L.P. are collectively known as Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-VII and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the "Partnership"). On January 30, 1998, the Partnership sold Nora Corners Shopping Center ("Nora Corners"), a shopping center containing 89,432 leasable square feet, located in Indianapolis, Indiana, to unaffiliated third parties (see Note E to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report). The Partnership's real estate investments are subject to some seasonal fluctuations due to changes in utility consumption and seasonal maintenance expenditures. However, the future performance of the Partnership will depend upon factors which cannot be predicted. Such factors include general economic and real estate market conditions, both on a national basis and in those areas where the Partnership's real estate investments are located, the availability and cost of borrowed funds, real estate tax rates, operating expenses, energy costs, government regulations, and federal and state income tax laws. The requirements for compliance with federal, state and local regulations to date have not had an adverse affect on the Partnership's operations, and no adverse affect therefrom is anticipated in the future. The Partnership's investments in real estate are also subject to such risks as (i) competition from existing and future projects held by other owners in the locations of the Partnership's properties, (ii) fluctuations in rental income due to changes in occupancy levels, (iii) possible adverse changes in mortgage interest rates, (iv) possible adverse changes in general economic and local conditions, such as competitive over-building, increases in unemployment, or adverse changes in real estate zoning laws, (v) possible future adoption of rent control legislation which would not permit the full amount of increased costs to be passed on to tenants in the form of rent increases, and (vi) other circumstances over which the Partnership may have little or no control. As of December 31, 2000, the Partnership did not employ any personnel. -2- ITEM 2. PROPERTIES - ------ As of December 31, 2000, the Partnership had leveraged investments in two apartment complexes having an aggregate of 524 units. A summary of the Partnership's real estate investments as of December 31, 2000 is presented below. Schedule III included in Item 8 (Appendix A) to this report contains additional detailed information with respect to individual properties.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - ------ There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Partnership is a party or of which any of its property is the subject. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS - ------ None. -3- PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS - ------ The transfer of Units is subject to certain limitations contained in the Partnership Agreement. There is no public market for the Units and it is not anticipated that any such public market will develop. The number of Investor Limited Partners as of December 31, 2000 was approximately 1,365. One of the objectives of the Partnership is to generate cash available for distribution. The Partnership discontinued distributions during 1989 due to insufficient operating Cash Flow. In 1994, however, the General Partners determined that there was sufficient Cash Flow to reinstate distributions. These distributions commenced in August 1994 at a rate of $5.00 per Unit and thereafter were paid semiannually at an annual rate of $20.00 per Unit through 1998. In 1999 and thereafter the semiannual distributions were reduced to an annual rate of $18.28 per Unit. The Partnership made special capital distributions in 1998 totaling $86.14 per Unit with the funds received from the sale of Nora Corners in 1998. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, distributions from capital transactions, such as the sale of Nora Corners, are allocated 99% to Investor Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners. For details, see Note G to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report. The Partnership made the following distributions to its Partners during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999: Year Ended December 31, ------------------------------------------ 2000 1999 -------------------- -------------------- Amount Per Unit Amount Per Unit ---------- --------- ---------- --------- Limited Partners: Investor Limited Partners (27,184 Units outstanding) $ 496,852 $ 18.28 $ 496,853 $ 18.28 Original Limited Partner 44,164 44,165 General Partners 11,042 11,041 ---------- --------- $ 552,058 $ 552,059 ========== ========= -4- ITEM 6.

This information should be used in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, which are included in Items 7 and 8 of this report, respectively. 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total revenue $4,202,751 $3,997,617 $3,989,189 $4,795,059 $4,688,515 Income (loss) before gain on sale of property (279,488) (549,227) (298,630) (151,137) 10,513 Gain on sale of property - - 676,316 - - Net income (loss) (279,488) (549,227) 377,686 (151,137) 10,513 Net income (loss) allocated to: Investor Limited Partners (276,693) (543,735) 373,909 (149,626) 9,462 Per Unit (10.18) (20.00) 13.75 (5.50) 0.35 Original Limited Partner - - - - 841 General Partners (2,795) (5,492) 3,777 (1,511) 210 Total assets at December 31, 8,985,092 9,837,297 10,974,526 17,995,610 16,855,594 Long-term obligations at December 31, 5,028,109 10,108,246 10,220,786 14,345,624 12,366,197 Distributions: Investor Limited Partners 496,852 496,853 2,885,312 543,679 543,679 Per Unit 18.28 18.28 106.14 20.00 20.00 Original Limited Partner 44,164 44,165 48,327 48,327 48,327 General Partners 11,042 11,041 35,460 12,082 12,082 Operating results for the periods presented are not comparable due to the sale of Nora Corners on January 30, 1998. The per Unit distributions for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $18.28, $18.28, $106.14, $20.00, and $20.00, respectively, of which $86.14 in 1998 represented a return of capital. Prior performance of the Partnership is not necessarily indicative of future operations. -5- ITEM 7. - ------- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements including those concerning Management's expectations regarding the future financial performance and future events. These forward-looking statements involve significant risk and uncertainties, including those described herein. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its needs is dependent primarily upon the operations of its real estate investments. Such ability would also be impacted by the future availability of bank borrowings and the future refinancing and sale of the Partnership's remaining real estate investments. These sources of liquidity will be used by the Partnership for payment of expenses related to real estate operations, capital improvements, debt service, and other expenses. Cash Flow, if any, as calculated under Section 8.2(a) of the Partnership Agreement, will then be available for distribution to the Partners. In August 1994, the Partnership began making distributions at a rate of $5.00 per Unit which increased in February 1995 to a rate of $20.00 per Unit. Additionally, the Partnership made special capital distributions in 1998 totaling $86.14 per Unit based on the remaining proceeds of the sale of Nora Corners. Distributions of net cash proceeds from capital transactions are allocated in accordance with the Partnership Agreement (as described in Note H to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report). Due to the special capital distributions as a result of the sale of Nora Corners, and the subsequent decrease in the Investor Limited Partners' Capital, the semiannual distributions were adjusted in 1999 to $18.28 per Unit, beginning with the distribution payable in February 1999. Over the past several years, real estate markets in general have improved, and the General Partners feel it is an opportune time to formulate a liquidation strategy for the Partnership. As such, the General Partners intend to begin the process of more thoroughly assessing the property sales market in the Partnership's market areas and developing a disposition strategy which will yield the highest value to investors through an efficient and orderly liquidation of the Partnership. In keeping with this strategy, the General Partners intend to refinance mortgage loans which mature in the next 6 months with financing that leaves flexibility for the property sales. Assuming market conditions do not change, the assessment of the property sales market is consistent with the General Partners' expectations, and an acceptable disposition plan can be implemented, the General Partners expect to complete the liquidation process over the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that such a liquidation will occur, or what amounts may be realized by the Partnership. The General Partners are in the process of negotiating an extension of the mortgage note payable on Windsor Apartments. It is anticipated that the note will be extended under terms substantially similar to the current terms. On January 30, 1998, the General Partners sold Nora Corners to unaffiliated third parties. The property was included in a package with thirteen other properties owned by affiliates of the General Partners. The total selling price of the fourteen properties was $138,000,000, of which the Partnership received $6,604,300 for the sale of its property, less the payoff of the mortgage note and its share of the closing costs of $224,512 (see Note E to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report). On July 30, 1997, the Partnership successfully completed the refinancing of the Courtyards Village East Apartments ("Courtyards Village") mortgage note. The $5,280,000 note bears interest at an annual rate of 7.88%, requires equal monthly principal and interest installments of $38,302, and matures on August 1, 2007. Net refinancing proceeds of approximately $1,860,000 provided additional liquidity to fund capital improvements at the Partnership's properties, Courtyards Village and Windsor Apartments. -6- In order to remain competitive in their respective markets, the Partnership's properties spent approximately $362,000 for fixed assets in 2000. During 2001, the Partnership's properties intend to spend approximately $507,000 for fixed assets with an emphasis in areas that will improve the return in the event of a liquidation. These expenditures will be primarily funded from cash generated from property operations. These improvements include interior and exterior enhancements, installation of sprinkler system, pavement improvement, and roofing at Windsor Apartments. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires recognition of all derivative instruments as either asset or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. This statement will be effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2001. The Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments at December 31, 2000, and as such, the Partnership does not expect this pronouncement to have a significant impact on the Partnership's financial statements. Operations The following discussion relates to the operations of the Partnership and its properties (Courtyards Village and Windsor Apartments) for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. The sale of Nora Corners on January 30, 1998, significantly impacts the comparability of the Partnership's operations for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. 2000 compared to 1999 Net loss decreased in 2000 when compared 1999 as total revenue increased and total expenses decreased. The increase in total revenue is primarily a result of rental rate increases implemented at all of the Partnership's properties at the end of the first quarter of 2000. Interest income decreased in 2000 due to a lower average cash and cash equivalent balances available for investment when compared to 1999. Total expenses for 2000 decreased when compared to 1999. Depreciation expense decreased as fixed asset additions purchased in the previous years became fully depreciated. Maintenance expenses decreased in 2000 as capital expenditures reduced the need for repairs and maintenance in some areas. Operating expenses increased primarily as a result of increases in leasing, utilities, and insurance costs. 1999 compared to 1998 Net income, net of Nora Corners' activity, decreased in 1999 when compared to 1998 as increases in total expenses more than offset increases in total revenue. In comparing 1999 to 1998, the increase in rental revenue is attributable to residential rental rate increases implemented at Courtyards and Windsor Apartments. However this was substantially offset by decreases in interest income due to lower average cash and cash equivalent balances available for investment, resulting from the sale of Nora Corners. Total expenses increased when compared to 1998, primarily due to increases in operating expenses, real estate taxes, general and administrative, and depreciation expense. Operating expense increased in 1999 as a result of an increase in workmen's compensation expense over 1998 due to a favorable adjustment to the liability and workmen's compensation reserve in 1998 as a result of favorable claim experience. Real estate tax expense increased as a result of a reassessment of Windsor Apartments' property value in 1998 by the local taxing authority. General and administrative expenses increased due to higher expenses incurred in connection with preparation and mailing of Partnership reports and other investor communication. Depreciation expense increased in conjunction with increased capital improvements completed at Courtyards Village, particularly the rehab of eleven apartments during the first quarter. -7- ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK - -------- The Partnership's future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market rates. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The Partnership manages its market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities with projected cash outflows to fund debt payments, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions and other cash requirements. All of the Partnership's debt (maturing at various times through 2007) has a fixed interest rate, which minimizes the interest rate risk. If market rates of interest increase by ten percent, the fair value of the Partnership's total outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $193,000. If market rates of interest decrease by ten percent, the fair value of the Partnership's total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $201,000. ITEM 8.

F-7 KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VII AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ---------- A. Organization Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-VII ("KRLP-VII") was formed on August 21, 1984 by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. KRLP-VII terminates on December 31, 2025 unless earlier terminated upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. KRLP-VII issued all of the General Partner Interests to two General Partners, The Krupp Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, and The Krupp Company Limited Partnership-II, a Massachusetts limited partnership, in exchange for capital contributions aggregating $1,000. In addition, the General Partners were required to make additional capital contributions of $135,891 which were used to pay organization and offering costs in excess of 5% of the gross proceeds of the offering. Except under certain limited circumstances upon termination of KRLP-VII, the General Partners are not required to make any other additional capital contributions. KRLP-VII also issued all of the Original Limited Partner Interests to The Krupp Company Limited Partnership-II in exchange for a capital contribution of $4,000. On November 2, 1984, KRLP-VII commenced an offering of up to 40,000 units of Investor Limited Partner Interest (the "Units") for $1,000 per Unit. The public offering was closed on April 25, 1986, at which time 27,184 Units had been sold for $27,184,000. On December 19, 1984 the General Partners formed Krupp Realty Courtyards Limited Partnership ("Realty-VII") as a prerequisite for the refinancing of Courtyards Village East Apartments ("Courtyards Village"). At the same time, the General Partners transferred ownership of Courtyards Village to Realty-VII. The General Partner of Realty-VII is KRLP-VII. The Limited Partners of Realty-VII are KRLP-VII and The Krupp Corporation ("Krupp Corp."). Krupp Corp. has beneficially assigned its interest in Realty-VII to KRLP-VII. On March 31, 1994, the General Partners formed Windsor Partners Limited Partnership ("Windsor L.P.") as a prerequisite for the refinancing of Windsor Apartments. At the same time, the General Partners transferred ownership of the property to Windsor L.P. In exchange for the property, KRLP-VII received a 99% Limited Partnership interest in Windsor L.P. The General Partner of Windsor L.P. is ST. Windsor Corporation which has a 1% interest in Windsor L.P. and is 100% owned by KRLP-VII. KRLP-VII, Realty-VII and Windsor L.P. are collectively known as Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-VII and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the "Partnership"). On January 30, 1998, the Partnership sold Nora Corners, a shopping center containing 89,432 leasable square feet, located in Indianapolis, Indiana, to Kejack, Inc. and its permitted assigns, which are unaffiliated third parties. Nora Corners Shopping Center was included in a package with thirteen other properties owned by affiliates of the General Partners (see Note E). Continued F-8 KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VII AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ---------- B. Significant Accounting Policies The Partnership uses the following accounting policies for financial reporting purposes, which may differ in certain respects from those used for federal income tax purposes (see Note J): Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements present the consolidated assets, liabilities and operations of the Partnership. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Risks and Uncertainties The Partnership invests its cash primarily in deposits and money market funds with commercial banks. The Partnership has not experienced any losses to date on its invested cash. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Partnership includes all short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition in cash and cash equivalents. The cash investments are recorded at cost, which approximates market values. Rental Revenue Leases require the payment of base rent monthly in advance. Rental revenue are recorded on the accrual basis. Real Estate Real estate assets and equipment are stated at depreciated cost. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Opinion No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations on a property by property basis, when events and circumstances indicate that the real estate assets might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows, without interest charges, to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, those assets shall be reduced to fair value less estimated costs to sell. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. Except for amounts attributed to land, rental property and improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives by asset category are: Buildings and improvements 3 to 25 years Equipment, furnishings and fixtures 3 to 8 years Continued F-9 KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VII AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ---------- B. Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Real Estate, Continued The Partnership classifies assets as available for sale upon the General Partners committing to a formal plan of disposal. The Partnership is in the process of determining the marketability of the Partnership's real estate assets but the General Partners have not committed to a formal plan of disposition and therefore no properties have been classified as available for sale. Deferred Expenses Costs of obtaining and recording mortgages are amortized over the term of the related mortgage notes using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. Income Taxes The Partnership is not liable for federal or state income taxes as the Partnership income or loss is allocated to the Partners for income tax purposes. In the event that the Partnership's tax returns are examined by the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority and the examination results in a change in the Partnership taxable income or loss, such change will be reported to the Partners. Descriptive Information About Reportable Segments The Partnership operates and develops apartment communities which generate rental and other income through the leasing of apartment units. The General Partners separately evaluate the performance of each of the Partnership's apartment communities. However, because each of the apartment communities has similar economic characteristics, facilities, services and tenants, the apartment communities have been aggregated into a single dominant apartment communities segment. All revenue are from external customers and no revenue are generated from transactions with other segments. There are no tenants who contributed 10% or more of the Partnership's total revenue during 2000, 1999 or 1998. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of financial Accounting standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. This statement will be effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2001. The Partnership did not hold any derivative instruments at December 31, 2000, and as such, the Partnership does not expect this pronouncement to have a significant impact on the Partnership's financial statements. Investment in Securities Investment in securities is carried at its original issuance valuation as the common stock is not listed or traded on an exchange and is not considered a marketable security pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Opinion No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("FAS 115").

Investment in Securities On October 5, 2000, the Partnership, as a member of an alliance of major multi-family real estate companies, executed a master lease agreement ("MLA") with a provider of high-speed internet, video and voice services to multi-family communities. Pursuant to the MLA, the Partnership granted the provider preferred lease, license and access rights to provide data services, consisting of high-speed broadband internet access and video services, to the residents at some of its multi-family communities for a ten-year period. In exchange for these rights, the Partnership received 250,843 shares of common stock which were valued at $.2285 per share or $57,341. In addition, the Partnership will receive 7.5% of the gross revenues that the provider obtains from providing its services as well as a fixed amount for each resident that executes a subscriber agreement. In conjunction with the execution of the MLA, the Partnership made an investment of $5,751 in exchange for 25,164 additional shares of common stock also valued at $.2285 per share. The Partnership incurred approximately $2,248 in closing costs related to the acquisition by the Partnership and the closing costs incurred were recorded as an investment in securities in the financial statements as of December 31, 2000. E. Sale of Property On January 30, 1998, the Partnership sold Nora Corners Shopping Center ("Nora Corners") to unaffiliated third parties. Nora Corners was included in a package with thirteen other properties owned by affiliates of the General Partners. The total selling price of the fourteen properties was $138,000,000, of which the Partnership received $6,604,300, less repayment of the existing mortgage note and interest of $4,114,668 and its share of closing costs of $224,512. For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership realized a gain of $676,316 on the sale. The gain was calculated as the difference between the property's selling price less net book value of the property and closing costs. Nora Corners was situated on 11.21 acres of land, seven acres of which were owned by certain non-affiliated third parties. These seven acres of land were leased to the Partnership subject to a 99-year land lease which expired in 2061. The land lease required annual rental payments of $17,280 from 1987 through 2012. On January 30, 1998, in conjunction with the sale of Nora Corners, the land lease was assigned to the purchaser of the property, under the terms of the land lease.

The property was refinanced with a $5,280,000 non-recourse mortgage note payable at the rate of 7.88% per annum with monthly principal and interest payments of $38,302. The mortgage note, which is collateralized by the property, matures on August 1, 2007 at which time the remaining principal (approximately $4,658,637) and any accrued interest are due. The note may be prepaid, subject to a prepayment premium, at any time with 30 days notice. The Partnership used the majority of the proceeds from the refinancing to repay the existing mortgage note on the property of $3,172,809, pay closing costs of $136,040 and to establish various escrows. As part of the refinancing, the Partnership was required to establish a $9,525 repair escrow and a replacement reserve escrow. The replacement reserve escrow required no initial deposit at the close and monthly deposits of $4,200 which began on September 1, 1998. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt is approximately $5,309,000 and $5,076,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Windsor Apartments The property is subject to a non-recourse mortgage note payable in the original amount of $5,300,000, based on a 30-year amortization and payable at the rate of 9.25% per annum in equal monthly installments of $43,602, consisting of principal and interest. At maturity, all unpaid principal, approximately $5,021,000, and any accrued interest are due. The note may be prepaid subject to a prepayment penalty. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt is approximately $5,075,000 and $5,161,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The General Partners are in the process of negotiating an extension of the mortgage note payable on Windsor Apartments. It is anticipated that the note will be extended under terms substantially similar to the current terms. Due to restrictions on transfers and prepayment, the Partnership may be unable to refinance certain mortgage notes payable at such calculated fair value.
