KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VII AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1)Accounting Policies Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the General Partners of Krupp Realty Limited Partnership-VII and Subsidiaries (the "Partnership"), the disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. See Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 for additional information relevant to significant accounting policies followed by the Partnership. In the opinion of the General Partners of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Partnership's consolidated financial position as of September 30, 1999, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the full year. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report. (2)Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, 1999 1998 Cash and money market accounts $33,425 $ 479,625 Commercial paper - 149,858 $ 33,425$ 629,483 (3)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.

Pursuant to the management agreements, management fees are payable monthly at a rate of 4% of the gross receipts, net of leasing commissions from the commercial property which was under management until January 30, 1998 (see Note 3), and 5% of gross receipts from residential properties under management. The Partnership also reimburses affiliates of the General Partners for certain expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Partnership and its properties, including administrative expenses. Amounts accrued or paid to the General Partners' affiliates were as follows: For the Three Months For the Nine Months Ended September 30, Ended September 30, 1999 1998 1999 1998 Property management fees$35,135 $40,127 $115,278 $ 131,330 Expense reimbursements 54,606 37,127 142,951 102,958 Charged to operations$ 89,741$ 77,254 $258,229 $ 234,288 Expense reimbursements due from affiliates of $429,768 and $239,514 were included in prepaid expenses and other assets at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. In addition to the amounts above, costs paid to the General Partners' affiliates associated with the sale of Nora Corners were $4,171 during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VII AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2.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 successful 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. Due to the special distribution in 1998, a result of the sale of Nora Corners, and the subsequent decrease in the Investor Limited Partners' capital, the semiannual distributions were decreased from $20.00 per Unit in 1998 to $18.28 per Unit, beginning with the distribution paid in February, 1999. 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 3). The Partnership's apartment market of Naperville, Illinois (Courtyards Village) is currently experiencing an increase in competition from new construction. Although Courtyards Village has recently been renovated, it is competing against over 3,000 new units added to the market in the past two years. The General Partners are in the process of evaluating strategies to improve the competitiveness of the Partnership's properties. Year 2000 The General Partners of the Partnership conducted an assessment of the Partnership's core internal and external computer information systems and have taken the necessary steps to understand the nature and extent of the work required to make its systems Year 2000 ready in those situations in which it is required to do so. The Year 2000 readiness issue concerns the inability of computerized information systems to accurately calculate, store or use a date after 1999. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations. The Year 2000 issue affects virtually all companies and organizations. Continued KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VII AND SUBSIDIARIES Year 2000, Continued In this regard, the General Partners of the Partnership, along with certain affiliates, began a computer systems project in 1997 to significantly upgrade its existing hardware and software. The General Partners completed the testing and conversion of the financial accounting operating systems in February 1998. As a result, the General Partners have generated operating efficiencies and believe their financial accounting operating systems are Year 2000 ready. The General Partners incurred hardware costs as well as consulting and other expenses related to the infrastructure and facilities enhancements necessary to complete the upgrade and prepare for the Year 2000. There are no other significant internal systems or software that the Partnership is using at the present time. The General Partners of the Partnership have evaluated Year 2000 compliance issues with respect to its non-financial systems, such as computer controlled elevators, boilers, chillers and other miscellaneous systems. The General Partners do not anticipate any problems in its non-financial systems. The General Partners of the Partnership surveyed the Partnership's material third- party service providers (including but not limited to its banks and telecommunications providers) and significant vendors and received assurances that such providers and vendors are to be Year 2000 ready. The General Partners do not anticipate any problems with such providers and vendors that would materially impact its results of operations, liquidity or captial resources. In addition, the Partnership is also subject to external forces that might generally affect industry and commerce, such as utility and transportation company Year 2000 readiness failures and related service interruptions. However, the General Partners do not anticipate these would materially impact its results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. To date, the Partnership has not incurred, and does not expect to incur, any significant cost associated with being Year 2000 ready. Operations The following discussion relates to the operations of the Partnership and its properties (Courtyards Village and Windsor Apartments) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The sale of Nora Corners on January 30, 1998, significantly impacts the comparability of the Partnership's operations between these periods. Net income, net of Nora Corners's activity, decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as increases in total expenses more than offset increases in total revenue. Total revenue increased due to increases in rental revenue resulting from residential rental rate increases implemented at both Courtyards and Windsor Apartments in 1998 and during the first quarter of 1999. However this was more that offset by decreases in interest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 due to lower average cash and cash equivalent balances available for investment when compared to 1998, resulting from the sale of Nora Corners. Continued KRUPP REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP-VII AND SUBSIDIARIES Operations, Continued Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased when compared to the same period in 1998, due primarily to increases in operating, general and administrative and depreciation expenses. These increases were partially offset by decreases in maintenance expense. Operating expense increased in 1999 as a result of an increase in workmen's compensation expense due to an adjustment to the workmen's compensation reserve in 1998. General and administrative expenses increased due to higher expenses incurred in connection with preparation and mailing of Partnership reports and other investor communications. Depreciation expense increased in conjunction with increased capital improvements completed at Courtyards Village, particularly the rehab of eleven apartments during the first quarter. Maintenance is down as a result of additional capital improvements completed during the third quarter at Windsor and Courtyards. Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net of Nora Corner's activity increased when compared to the same period in 1999, due primarily to increases in maintenance, general and administrative, real estate tax, and depreciation. Re-stripping of the parking lot and interior painting of the buildings during the second quarter at Windsor have resulted in the increases in maintenance expenses. General and administrative expenses increased due to higher expenses incurred in connection with preparation and mailing of Partnership reports and other investor commnications. Real estate tax expense increased as a result of a reassessment of Windsor Apartments's property value in 1998 by the local taxing authority. Depreciation expense increased in conjunction with increased capital improvements completed at Courtyards Village, particularly the rehab of eleven apartments during the first quarter.
