Documents incorporated by reference: None The exhibit index is located on pages 8-11 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-VII (the "Partnership") was formed on August 21, 1984 by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Partnership has 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. The Partnership has also issued all of the Original Limited Partner Interests to The Krupp Company Limited Partnership-II. On November 2, 1984, the Partnership 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 Financial Statements included in Appendix A of this report. The primary business of the Partnership is to invest in, operate, refinance and ultimately dispose of a diversified portfolio of residential and commercial real estate. The Partnership considers itself to be engaged only in the industry segment of investment in real estate. The Partnership's real estate investments are not subject to material seasonal fluctuations, although net income may vary somewhat from quarter to quarter based upon changes in utility consumption, seasonal maintenance expenditures and changes in rental income which are based upon a percentage of gross receipts of retail tenants. 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 now 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) possible reduction in rental income due to an inability to maintain high occupancy levels, to the financial failure of a tenant or the inability of retail tenants to achieve gross sales at a level sufficient to provide for additional rental income based on a percentage of sales, (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) the 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, 1994, there were approximately 30 full and part-time on-site personnel employed by the Partnership. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership has leveraged investments in two apartment complexes having an aggregate of 524 units and one commercial shopping center with 89,432 square feet of leasable space. A summary of the Partnership's real estate investments is presented below.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Partnership is a party. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. 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, 1994 was approximately 1,500. One of the objectives of the Partnership is to generate cash available for distribution, all or a portion of which will be treated as a return of capital and therefore not currently taxable. The Partnership discontinued distributions during 1989 due to insufficient operating cash flow. In 1994, however, the General Partners determined that there was sufficient Distributable Cash Flow to reinstate distributions. These distributions commenced in August 1994 and thereafter are to be paid semiannually. A distribution was paid in February 1995. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following table sets forth selected financial information regarding the Partnership's financial position and operating results. This information should be used in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Financial Statements and Notes thereto, which are included in Items 7 and 8 of this report, respectively. 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 Total revenue $4,286,787 $ 4,799,332 $ 5,396,406 $ 5,681,346 $ 6,112,643 Income (loss) before loss on foreclosure (409,938) 53,862 (994,525) (893,791) (1,922,917) Loss on foreclosure - - - (1,668,385) - Net income (loss) (409,938) 53,862 (994,525) (2,562,176) (1,922,917) Net income (loss) allocated to: Investor Limited Partners: Income (loss) before loss on foreclosure (405,839) 53,323 (984,580) (884,853) (1,903,688) Per Unit (14.93) 1.96 (36.22) (32.55) (70.03) Loss on foreclosure - - - (1,651,701) - Per Unit - - - (60.76) Net income (loss) (405,839) 53,323 (984,580) (2,536,554) (1,903,688) Per Unit (14.93) 1.96 (36.22) (93.31) (70.03) General Partners: Income (loss) before loss on foreclosure (4,099) 539 (9,945) (8,938) (19,229) Loss on foreclosure - - - (16,684) - Net income (loss) (4,099) 539 (9,945) (25,622) (19,229) Total assets $18,336,983 $18,729,696 $24,239,479 $25,444,546 $35,992,422 Long-term obligations $12,745,312 $ 8,364,761 $17,226,999 $17,484,896 $17,684,937 Distributions to: Investor Limited Partners 135,920 - - - - Per Unit 5.00 - - - - Original Limited Partner 12,082 - - - - General Partners 3,020 - - - - Operations results for the periods presented are not comparable due to the following events: (1) Westbrook Place and Willow Cove Apartments were sold July 1, 1993. (2) Richland Mall was foreclosed upon on June 4, 1991. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity and Capital Resources The Partnership's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its needs is dependent primarily upon the successful operations of its real estate investments. Such ability is also dependent upon 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 expenditures, debt service and 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 1994, the General Partners determined that there was sufficient Distributable Cash Flow to reinstate distributions. These distributions commenced in August 1994 and are expected to continue in 1995. On April 13, 1994, the Partnership successfully completed the refinancing of Windsor Apartments mortgage note payable. The new $5,300,000 note requires decreased debt service payments due to a lower interest rate of 9.25% per annum from the previous rate of 10.3% per annum. The Partnership also refinanced the Nora Corners mortgage note payable on October 6, 1994. The new $4,250,000 note requires decreased debt service payments due to a lower interest rate of 9% per annum from the previous rate of 10.5% per annum. The reduced mortgage payments will provide additional liquidity to the Partnership that may be used to fund capital improvements at its properties or for distributions. In 1995, Courtyards and Windsor are scheduled to have capital improvement expenditures totaling $140,000 and $92,000, respectively. These are routine improvements to maintain the appearance of the properties in an effort to remain competitive in the real estate market. Cash Flow Shown below, as required by the Partnership Agreement, is the calculation of Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 1994: Rounded to $1,000 Net loss for tax purposes $ (480,000) Items not requiring (requiring) the use of operating funds: Tax basis depreciation and amortization 1,367,000 Principal payments on mortgage notes payable (145,000) Capital improvement expenditures (222,000) Replacement reserves for capital improvement expenditures (4,000) Working capital reserves (214,000) Cash Flow $ 302,000 Operations The following discussion relates to the operations of the Partnership and its properties (Courtyards Village, Nora Corners, Westbrook and Windsor Apartments) for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992 or portion thereof. The sale of Westbrook, effective July 1, 1993, significantly impacted the comparability of the Partnership's operations. 1994 versus 1993 During 1994, as compared to 1993, rental revenues increased by $198,000, excluding $714,000 of revenue generated by Westbrook in 1993. This was primarily due to improved occupancy as well as increased rental rates at Courtyards and Windsor. Interior and exterior painting improvements and carpentry renovations, started in 1993 at Courtyards and Windsor, were completed in the first quarter of 1994. Landscaping and parking lot upgrades were also implemented at Courtyards in 1993. These improvements allowed the Partnership to obtain the rental increases at both properties. Occupancy at Windsor increased due to the stabilization of the Dallas economy, with home purchasing leveling off. As a result, all rental concessions at Windsor were eliminated in the first quarter of 1994. At Courtyards, rental concessions were reduced as a result of the improved occupancy. The Partnership's commercial property, Nora Corners, is maintaining its high occupancy with the signing of two new tenants in the first quarter of 1994, D.L. Lowry Salon, a hair salon and Food King, a chinese food restaurant. Property expenses for 1994, as compared to 1993 (excluding Westbrook), increased by $30,000. The increase was primarily due to higher operating expenses for the snow removal costs incurred at Courtyards and Nora Corners as a result of the heavy snow storms last winter. 1993 versus 1992 Rental revenues between the years ending 1993 and 1992, excluding Westbrook's revenues earned in the third and fourth quarters of 1992, of $686,000, increased by $92,000. The primary reasons for the increase in revenue were stronger occupancy and increased rental rates at Courtyards Village. Windsor Apartments had encountered competition from the affordable first-time home buyers' market in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in 1993. This property's potential was being maximized, however, by increased rental rates on one-bedroom unit types, which had a strong market demand. For the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, property expenses, excluding Westbrook's expenses during the third and fourth quarters of 1992, remained stable with the exception of maintenance and repairs. These expenses increased in 1993 as a result of extensive interior and extensive painting at Courtyards and Windsor. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA See Appendix A to this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Partners of Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-VII: We have audited the financial statements and financial statement schedule of Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-VII (the "Partnership") listed in the index on page F-2 of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-VII as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VII NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ______________ A. Organization Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-VII (the "Partnership") was formed on August 21, 1984 by filing a Certificate of Limited Partnership in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Partnership terminates on December 31, 2025 unless earlier terminated upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership has 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 the Partnership, the General Partners are not required to make any other additional capital contributions. The Partnership has 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, the Partnership 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. 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 (Note J): Cash Equivalents The Partnership includes all short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition in cash and cash equivalents. The cash investments are recorded at cost, which approximates market values. Rental Revenues Residential and commercial leases require the payment of base rent monthly in advance. Rental revenues are recorded on the accrual basis. Commercial leases generally contain provisions for additional rent based on a percentage of tenant sales and other provisions which are also recorded on the accrual basis, but are billed in arrears. Depreciation Depreciation is provided for by the use of the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Buildings and improvements 3 to 39 years Equipment, furnishings and fixtures 3 to 5 years The Partnership recorded depreciation expense of $1,228,304, $1,336,628 and $1,428,711, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. Continued KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VII NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued B. Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Leasing Commissions Leasing commissions on commercial properties are deferred and amortized over the life of the related lease. Deferred Expenses Costs incurred to obtain the mortgages on the properties are being amortized over the term of the mortgage notes using the straight line 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. Reclassifications Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year financial statement presentation. C. Sale of Westbrook Place/Willow Cove Apartments On July 13, 1993 and effective July 1, 1993, the Partnership sold Westbrook to the holder of the non-recourse first mortgage note on Westbrook, MXM Mortgage Corporation ("MXM"), subject to all mortgage debt collateralized by these properties. This sale was coincident with the sales to MXM of five additional properties in partnerships affiliated with the General Partners of the Partnership for which MXM was also the mortgage note holder. The sale was the ultimate resolution to two years of continued negotiations with MXM on potential refinancing options on the properties. MXM was unwilling to accept any proposals or negotiate any favorable terms. MXM alleged that a default existed regarding the mortgage note and threatened litigation. The General Partners felt it was in the best interest of the Partnership to negotiate a sale given the expense of litigation and, more significantly, that the total debt on Westbrook exceeded the value of the property. This situation was not expected to improve by 1995 when the MXM mortgage note was due. Willow Cove adjoins Westbrook and the Partnership operated these properties as one, therefore, the Partnership included Willow Cove in the negotiations as Willow Cove would no longer benefit from the savings allowed by shared amenities. The net book value of the properties was $4,631,030 at the date of the sale which resulted in a gain of $843,368 for financial reporting purposes.
