                              ANGELES PARTNERS VII
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of Angeles Realty Corporation (the "General Partner"), all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.  For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1998.

NOTE B - TRANSFER OF CONTROL

Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and
February 26, 1999, Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia Properties Trust
merged into Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly
traded real estate investment trust with AIMCO being the surviving corporation
(the "Insignia Merger"). As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership interest in
the General Partner.  The General Partner does not believe that this transaction
will have a material effect on the affairs and operations of the Partnership.

NOTE C - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the General Partner and its
affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities.
The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for
services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on
behalf of the Partnership.  The following amounts were paid or accrued to the
General Partner and affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998:


                                                 1999       1998

                                                 (in thousands)


Property management fees (included in            $ 33       $ 31

 operating expenses)

Reimbursement for services of affiliates

 (included in general and administrative

 expenses)                                         16         24

Partnership management fee (included in

 general and administrative expense) (1)           --         22


(1) The Partnership Agreement provides for a fee equal to 7.5% of "net cash
    available for distribution" to the limited partners (as defined in the
    Partnership Agreement) to be paid to the General Partner for executive and
    administrative management services.

During the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 affiliates of the General
Partner were entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from the Registrant's
property for providing property management services.  The Registrant paid to
such affiliates approximately $33,000 and $31,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

An affiliate of the General Partner received reimbursement of accountable
administrative expenses amounting to approximately $16,000 and $24,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

On May 19, 1999, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner commenced a tender offer to purchase up to 3,891.26 (44.89% of the total
outstanding units) units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership for
a purchase price of $254 per unit.  The offer expired on July 30, 1999.
Pursuant to the offer, AIMCO Properties, L.P. acquired 2,065 units.  As a
result, AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 2,087 units of limited
partnership interest in the Partnership representing 24.07% of the total
outstanding units.  It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliate will make one or
more additional offers to acquire additional limited partnership interests in
the Partnership for cash or in exchange for units in the operating partnership
of AIMCO.

NOTE D - SEGMENT REPORTING

Description of the types of products and services from which the reportable
segment derives its revenues

The Partnership has one reportable segment: residential property.  The
Partnership's residential property segment consists of one apartment complex in
Gretna, Louisiana. The Partnership rents apartment units to tenants for terms
that are typically twelve months or less.

Measurement of segment profit or loss

The Partnership evaluates performance based on net income.  The accounting
policies of the reportable segment are the same as those of the Partnership as
described in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1998.

Segment information for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is shown in
the tables below (in thousands).  The "Other" column includes partnership
administration related items and income and expense not allocated to the
reportable segment.

NOTE E - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Mateo.  The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others,
the Partnership, the General Partner and several of their affiliated
partnerships and corporate entities. The complaint purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal
defendants, challenging the acquisition by Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia") and entities which were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia
("Insignia Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities, past
tender offers by Insignia Affiliates to acquire limited partnership units, the
management of partnerships by Insignia Affiliates as well as a recently
announced agreement between Insignia and Apartment Investment and Management
Company("AIMCO"). The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief,
including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25, 1998, the General
Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to
the motion, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The General Partner has
filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard during February 1999.
No ruling on such demurrers has been received.  The General Partner does not
anticipate that costs associated with this case, if any, will be material to the
Partnership's overall operations.

The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation that
is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The matters discussed in this Form 10-QSB contain certain forward-looking
statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market
conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the
disclosures contained in this Form 10-QSB and the other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Registrant from time to time.
The discussion of the Registrant's business and results of operations, including
forward-looking statements pertaining to such matters, does not take into
account the effects of any changes to the Registrant's business and results of
operation.  Accordingly, 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.

The Partnership's investment property consists of one apartment complex.  The
following table sets forth the average occupancy of the property for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998:

                                                    Average

Results of Operations

The Partnership realized net income of approximately $61,000 and $112,000 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to net income of
approximately $7,000 and $48,000 for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998.  The increase in net income for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 was due primarily to an increase in total revenue and a decrease in total
expenses.  Total revenue increased due to an increase in rental income.  The
increase in rental income is primarily due to an increase in average occupancy
and an increase in average rental rates at the Partnership's investment
property.

Total expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses.
Operating expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in maintenance expense
and to a lesser extent, a decrease in insurance expense.  Maintenance expense
decreased due to lower repair costs to the pool and buildings for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the comparable period of 1998.  The decrease
in insurance expense is due to a change in the Partnership's insurance carrier
which resulted in lower premiums.  General and administrative, depreciation,
interest, and property tax expenses remained relatively constant for the
comparable periods.   Included in general and administrative expense for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are management reimbursements to the General
Partner allowed under the Partnership Agreement.  In addition, costs associated
with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory
agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement are also
included.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner
monitors the rental market environment of its investment property to assess the
feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and
protecting the Registrant from increases in expense.  As part of this plan, the
General Partner attempts to protect the Registrant from the burden of inflation-
related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall
occupancy level.  However, due to changing market conditions, which can result
in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening
market conditions, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able
to sustain such a plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1999, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$634,000 as compared to approximately $395,000 at June 30, 1998.  Cash and cash
equivalents increased approximately $135,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 from the Partnership's fiscal year end, primarily due to approximately
$223,000 of cash provided by operating activities, which was partially offset by
approximately $66,000 of cash used in financing activities and approximately
$22,000 of cash used in investing activities.  Cash used in investing activities
consisted of property improvements and replacements.  Cash used in financing
activities consisted of payments of principal made on the mortgage encumbering
the Registrant's property.  The Partnership invests its working capital reserves
in money market accounts.


The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical asset
and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state,
and local legal and regulatory requirements.  Capital improvements planned for
the Partnership's property is detailed below.

Cedarwood Apartments:

Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing
necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the General Partner on
interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately
$152,000 of capital improvements over the next few years.  The Partnership has
budgeted, but is not limited to, capital improvements of approximately $152,000
for 1999 at this property which include certain of the required improvements and
consist of gutters and downspout repairs, parking lot repairs, floor covering
and appliance replacements and major landscaping and irrigation.  As of June 30,
1999 approximately $22,000 has been incurred consisting primarily of floor
covering and appliance replacements.

The additional capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available
from operations or from Partnership reserves.  To the extent that such budgeted
capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow,
if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

The Partnership's current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term
needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership.  The mortgage
indebtedness of approximately $2,149,000 is amortized over 28 years with a
maturity date of May 2007.  The General Partner will attempt to refinance such
indebtedness and/or sell the property prior to such maturity date.  If the
property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership
will risk losing such property through foreclosure.

A cash distribution of $132,000 ($131,000 of which was paid to the limited
partners, or $15.11 per limited partnership unit) was paid from operations
during the six months ended June 30, 1998.  Subsequent to June 30, 1999 the
General Partner approved a distribution of $235,000 from operations.  The
Partnership's distribution policy will be reviewed on a quarterly basis.  Future
cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from
operations, the availability of cash reserves, and the timing of debt maturity,
refinancing, and/or the sale of the property.  There can be no assurance,
however, that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations,
after planned capital improvement expenditures, to permit any additional
distributions to its partners in 1999 or subsequent periods.

Tender Offer

On May 19, 1999, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General
Partner commenced a tender offer to purchase up to 3,891.26 (44.89% of the total
outstanding units) units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership for
a purchase price of $254 per unit.  The offer expired on July 30, 1999.
Pursuant to the offer, AIMCO Properties, L.P. acquired 2,065 units.  As a
result, AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 2,087 units of limited
partnership interest in the Partnership representing 24.07% of the total
outstanding units.  It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliate will make one or
more additional offers to acquire additional limited partnership interests in
the Partnership for cash or in exchange for units in the operating partnership
of AIMCO.

Year 2000 Compliance

General Description of the Year 2000 Issue and the Nature and Effects of the
Year 2000 on Information Technology (IT) and Non-IT Systems

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year.  The Partnership
is dependent upon the General Partner and its affiliates for management and
administrative services ("Managing Agent").  Any of the computer programs or
hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result
in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions,
send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.

Over the past two years, the Managing Agent has determined that it will be
required to modify or replace significant portions of its software and certain
hardware so that those systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31,
1999.  The Managing Agent presently believes that with modifications or
replacements of existing software and certain hardware, the Year 2000 issue can
be mitigated. However, if such modifications and replacements are not made, or
not completed in time, the Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the
operations of the Partnership.

The Managing Agent's plan to resolve Year 2000 issues involves four phases:
assessment, remediation, testing, and implementation.  To date, the Managing
Agent has fully completed its assessment of all the information systems that
could be significantly affected by the Year 2000, and has begun the remediation,
testing and implementation phases on both hardware and software systems.
Assessments are continuing in regards to embedded systems.  The status of each
is detailed below.

Status of Progress in Becoming Year 2000 Compliant, Including Timetable for
Completion of Each Remaining Phase

Computer Hardware:

During 1997 and 1998, the Managing Agent identified all of the computer systems
at risk and formulated a plan to repair or replace each of the affected systems.
In August 1998, the main computer system used by the Managing Agent became fully
functional. In addition to the main computer system, PC-based network servers,
routers and desktop PCs were analyzed for compliance.  The Managing Agent has
begun to replace each of the non-compliant network connections and desktop PCs
and, as of June 30, 1999, had completed approximately 90% of this effort.

The total cost to the Managing Agent to replace the PC-based network servers,
routers and desktop PCs is expected to be approximately $1.5 million of which
$1.3 million has been incurred to date.  The remaining network connections and
desktop PCs are expected to be upgraded to Year 2000 compliant systems by
September 30, 1999.  The completion of this process is scheduled to coincide
with the release of a compliant version of the Managing Agent's operating
system.

Computer Software:

The Managing Agent utilizes a combination of off-the-shelf, commercially
available software programs as well as custom-written programs that are designed
to fit specific needs.  Both of these types of programs were studied, and
implementation plans written and executed with the intent of repairing or
replacing any non-compliant software programs.

In April, 1999 the Managing Agent embarked on a data center consolidation
project that unifies its core financial systems under its Year 2000 compliant
system.  The estimated completion date for this project is October, 1999.

During 1998, the Managing Agent began converting the existing property
management and rent collection systems to its management properties Year 2000
compliant systems. The estimated additional costs to convert such systems at all
properties, is $200,000, and the implementation and testing process was
completed in June, 1999.

The final software area is the office software and server operating systems.
The Managing Agent has upgraded all non-compliant office software systems on
each PC and has upgraded 90% of the server operating systems.  The remaining
server operating systems are planned to be upgraded to be Year 2000 compliant by
September, 1999.  The completion of this process is scheduled to coincide with
the release of a compliant version of the Managing Agent's operating system.

Operating Equipment:

The Managing Agent has operating equipment, primarily at the property sites,
which needed to be evaluated for Year 2000 compliance.  In September 1997, the
Managing Agent began taking a census and inventory of embedded systems
(including those devices that use time to control systems and machines at
specific properties, for example elevators, heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning systems, security and alarm systems, etc.).

The Managing Agent has chosen to focus its attention mainly upon security
systems, elevators, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, telephone
systems and switches, and sprinkler systems.  While this area is the most
difficult to fully research adequately, management has not yet found any major
non-compliance issues that put the Managing Agent at risk financially or
operationally.

A pre-assessment of the properties by the Managing Agent has indicated no Year
2000 issues.  A complete, formal assessment of all the properties by the
Managing Agent is in process and will be completed in September, 1999.  Any
operating equipment that is found non-compliant will be repaired or replaced.

The total cost incurred for all properties managed by the Managing Agent as of
June 30, 1999 to replace or repair the operating equipment was approximately
$75,000. The Managing Agent estimates the cost to replace or repair any
remaining operating equipment is approximately $125,000.

The Managing Agent continues to have "awareness campaigns" throughout the
organization designed to raise awareness and report any possible compliance
issues regarding operating equipment within its enterprise.

Nature and Level of Importance of Third Parties and Their Exposure to the Year
2000

The Managing Agent continues to conduct surveys of its banking and other vendor
relationships to assess risks regarding their Year 2000 readiness.  The Managing
Agent has banking relationships with three major financial institutions, all of
which have indicated their compliance efforts will be complete before July,
1999. The Managing Agent has updated data transmission standards with all of the
financial institutions.  The Managing Agent's contingency plan in this regard is
to move accounts from any institution that cannot be certified Year 2000
compliant by September 1, 1999.

The Partnership does not rely heavily on any single vendor for goods and
services, and does not have significant suppliers and subcontractors who share
information systems (external agent).  To date the Partnership is not aware of
any external agent with a Year 2000 compliance issue that would materially
impact the Partnership's results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.
However, the Partnership has no means of ensuring that external agents will be
Year 2000 compliant.

The Managing Agent does not believe that the inability of external agents to
complete their Year 2000 remediation process in a timely manner will have a
material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the
Partnership. However, the effect of non-compliance by external agents is not
readily determinable.

Costs to Address Year 2000

The total cost of the Year 2000 project to the Managing Agent is estimated at
$3.5 million and is being funded from operating cash flows.  To date, the
Managing Agent has incurred approximately $2.9 million ($0.7 million expensed
and $2.2 million capitalized for new systems and equipment) related to all
phases of the Year 2000 project.  Of the total remaining project costs,
approximately $0.5 million is attributable to the purchase of new software and
operating equipment, which will be capitalized.  The remaining $0.2 million
relates to repair of hardware and software and will be expensed as incurred.
The Partnership's portion of these costs are not material.

Risks Associated with the Year 2000

The Managing Agent believes it has an effective program in place to resolve the
Year 2000 issue in a timely manner.  As noted above, the Managing Agent has not
yet completed all necessary phases of the Year 2000 program.  In the event that
the Managing Agent does not complete any additional phases, certain worst case
scenarios could occur.  The worst case scenarios could include elevators,
security and heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems that read
incorrect dates and operate with incorrect schedules (e.g., elevators will
operate on Monday as if it were Sunday).  Although such a change would be
annoying to residents, it is not business critical.

In addition, disruptions in the economy generally resulting from Year 2000
issues could also adversely affect the Partnership.  The Partnership could be
subject to litigation for, among other things, computer system failures,
equipment shutdowns or failure to properly date business records.  The amount of
potential liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time.

Contingency Plans Associated with the Year 2000

The Managing Agent has contingency plans for certain critical applications and
is working on such plans for others.  These contingency plans involve, among
other actions, manual workarounds and selecting new relationships for such
activities as banking relationships and elevator operating systems.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Mateo.  The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others,
the Partnership, the General Partner and several of their affiliated
partnerships and corporate entities. The complaint purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal
defendants, challenging the acquisition by Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia") and entities which were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia
("Insignia Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities, past
tender offers by Insignia Affiliates to acquire limited partnership units, the
management of partnerships by Insignia Affiliates as well as a recently
announced agreement between Insignia and Apartment Investment and Management
Company("AIMCO"). The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief,
including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25, 1998, the General
Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to
the motion, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The General Partner has
filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard during February 1999.
No ruling on such demurrers has been received.  The General Partner does not
anticipate that costs associated with this case, if any, will be material to the
Partnership's overall operations.
