At March 31, 1996, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included equipment
having a proportionate original cost of $12,782,230, representing approximately
94% of total equipment cost.
The summary above includes fully depreciated equipment held for re-lease or
sale with a cost of approximately $19,000 at March 31, 1996.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment
losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated
by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also
addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed
of. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the financial
statements of the Partnership.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------
All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by AFG on behalf
of the Partnership and AFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such
expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during each of the three month

All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to either
AFG or to a lender. AFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a separate
interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership. At
March 31, 1996, the Partnership was owed $53,929 by AFG for such funds and the
interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in April 1996.
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
- ----------------------
Notes payable at March 31, 1996 consisted of one installment note of $18,833
payable to a bank. The installment note is non-recourse, with an interest rate
of 6.35% and is collateralized by the equipment and assignment of the related
lease payments. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value at
March 31, 1996. The installment note will be fully amortized by noncancelable
rents during the year ending March 31, 1997.
NOTE 7 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
On March 15, 1993, Herman's Sporting Goods, Inc., a lessee of the
Partnership (the "Debtor"), filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code in the United States District Court, Trenton, New Jersey (the
"District Court"). Certain unpaid rents due to the Partnership were scheduled by
the Debtor as unsecured claims. Upon order of the District Court, renewal
rental schedules for all equipment leased to the Debtor by the Partnership were
executed and are currently in effect. On August 23, 1994, the District Court
confirmed the Debtor's First Modified Plan of Reorganization, as Amended and
Modified, and the Partnership has received two of the three scheduled payments
from the Debtor with respect to its unsecured claims. On April 26, 1996, the
Debtor refiled for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the
District Court. Rents due to the Partnership pursuant to the renewal schedules
due to expire on June 30, 1996, aggregating $1,725, were scheduled by the
Debtor as unsecured claims. In addition, the third scheduled payment under the
1993 schedule of unsecured claims of $1,011 has not been received by the
Partnership. The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes equipment on lease
to the Debtor with an original cost of approximately $83,873, which is fully
depreciated for financial reporting purposes and represents less than 1% of the
Partnership's aggregate equipment portfolio at March 31, 1996. This equipment is
expected to be returned to the Partnership to be held for sale or release and
the General Partner will pursue collection of all outstanding amounts from the
Debtor. The Partnership does not expect to experience any material loss as a
result of these bankruptcies.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
- --------------------------
Pursuant to its agreements with PLM International, Inc., referred to in Note 8
of the Partnership's 1995 financial statements, American Finance Group agreed to
change its name and logo, except where they are used in connection with the
Partnership and other affiliated investment programs. For all other purposes,
American Finance Group will operate as Equis Financial Group effective April 2,
1996.

Overview
- --------
As an equipment leasing partnership, the Partnership was organized to acquire
a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements with
third parties. The Partnership was designed to progress through three principal
phases: acquisitions, operations, and liquidation. During the operations
phase, a period of approximately six years, all equipment in the Partnership's
portfolio progresses through various stages. Initially, all equipment generates
rental revenues under primary term lease agreements. During the life of the
Partnership, these agreements expire on an intermittent basis and equipment held
pursuant to the related leases are renewed, re-leased or sold, depending on
prevailing market conditions and the assessment of such conditions by AFG to
obtain the most advantageous economic benefit. Over time, a greater portion of
the Partnership's original equipment portfolio becomes available for remarketing
and cash generated from operations and from sales or refinancings begins to
fluctuate. Ultimately, all equipment will be sold and the Partnership will be
dissolved. In accordance with the Partnership's stated investment objectives
and policies, the General Partner is considering the winding-up of the
Partnership's operations, including the liquidation of its entire portfolio.
The Partnership's operations commenced in 1986.
.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the three months ended March 31, 1996 the Partnership recognized lease
revenue of $260,896 compared to $398,544 for the same period in 1995. The
decrease in lease revenue between 1995 and 1996 was expected and resulted
principally from renewal lease term expirations and the sale of equipment. The
Partnership also earns interest income from temporary investments of rental
receipts and equipment sales proceeds in short-term instruments.
The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the
Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the
remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated equipment leasing program
sponsored by AFG. Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Partnership to
further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the ownership of
selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result
from a concentration in any single equipment type, industry or lessee. The
Partnership and each affiliate individually report, in proportion to their
respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.
For the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 the Partnership sold fully
depreciated equipment which resulted in net gains, for financial statement
purposes, of $500 and $ 6,300, respectively.
It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a net
gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be dependent
upon the condition and type of equipment being sold and its marketability at the
time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss reported for financial
statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of accumulated
depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.
The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent upon many factors, including AFG's ability to sell and re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances,
and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at
any given time. AFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify
opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.

AMERICAN INCOME 7 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
FORM10-Q
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is
comprised of all primary lease term revenue generated from that asset, together
with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the
asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the
asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The Partnership
classifies such residual rental payments as lease revenue. Consequently, the
amount of gain or loss reported in the financial statements is not necessarily
indicative of the total residual value the Partnership achieved from leasing the
equipment.
Depreciation expense was $226,353 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $232,228 for the same period in 1995. For financial reporting
purposes, to the extent that an asset is held on primary lease term, the
Partnership depreciates the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and
(ii) the estimated residual value of the asset on a straight-line basis over
such term. For purposes of this policy, estimated residual values represent
estimates of equipment values at the date of primary lease expiration. To the
extent that an asset is held beyond its primary lease term, the Partnership
continues to depreciate the remaining net book value of the asset on a straight-
line basis over the asset's remaining economic life.
Interest expense was $497 or less than 1% of lease revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $18,248 or 4.6% of lease revenue for
the same period in 1995. In the future, interest expense will be minimal due to
the scheduled maturity of the Partnership's debt obligation in June 1996.
Management fees were 5% of lease revenue during each of the periods ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995 and will not change as a percentage of lease revenue in
future periods.
Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges,
professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment storage or
repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being
remarketed. Collectively, operating expenses represented approximately 6.5% of
lease revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 6.1% of
lease revenue for the same period in 1995. The amount of future operating
expenses cannot be predicted with certainty; however, such expenses are usually
higher during the acquisition and liquidation phases of a partnership. Other
fluctuations typically occur in relation to the volume and timing of remarketing
activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
- ------------------------------------------------------------
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity which was established
for specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview". As an equipment
leasing program, the Partnership's principal operating activities derive from
asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's principal source of
cash from operations is provided by the collection of periodic rents. These
cash inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations associated with
leveraged leases, and to pay management fees and operating costs. Operating
activities generated net cash inflows of $193,429 and $256,152 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease
and equipment sale activities will cause a gradual decline in the Partnership's
lease revenue and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses
associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow
from operating activities will decline as the Partnership experiences a higher
frequency of remarketing events.
The Partnership's lease agreement in connection with its 21.37% ownership
interest in a SAAB SF340A aircraft is scheduled to expire in June 1996. The
Partnership's proportionate interest in the aircraft had a cost and net book
value of $1,676,561 and $553,374, respectively, at March 31, 1996. The General
partner is actively pursuing the remarketing of this aircraft.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under lease. This will
occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be sold to
the existing lessee or to a third party. Generally, this will occur upon
expiration of each asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term. In certain
instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an
asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection
of stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms and conditions contained in the
underlying lease agreements.
Cash realized from asset disposal transactions are reported under investing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the three months
ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership realized $500 in equipment sale proceeds
compared to $6,300 for the same period in 1995. Future inflows of cash from
asset disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced by many
factors including, but not limited to, the frequency and timing of lease
expirations, the type of equipment being sold, its condition and age, and future
market conditions.
The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection with certain
equipment leases. The repayments of principal related to such indebtedness are
reported as a component of financing activities. Each note payable is recourse
only to the specific equipment financed and to the minimum rental payments
contracted to be received during the debt amortization period (which period
generally coincides with the lease rental term). As rental payments are
collected, a portion or all of the rental payment is used to repay the
associated indebtedness. The Partnership's notes payable will be fully
amortized by noncancellable rents in June 1996.
Cash distributions to the General and Limited Partners are declared and
generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each calendar quarter.
The payment of such distributions is presented as a component of financing
activities. For the period ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership declared total
cash distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash
From Sales and Refinancings of $45,080. In accordance with the Amended and
Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership, the Limited Partners
were allocated 99% of these distributions, or $44,629, and the General Partner
was allocated 1%, or $451. The first quarter 1996 cash distribution was paid on
April 15, 1996.
Cash distributions paid to the Limited Partners consist of both a return of
and a return on capital. To the extent that cash distributions consist of Cash
From Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions should
be viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are
not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Partnership and will be
dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at
its disposal date. Future market conditions, technological changes, the ability
of AFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many other events and
circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual asset yields and the
collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio.
The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by the foregoing
and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual rents and the
outcome of residual activities. The General Partner anticipates that cash
proceeds resulting from these sources will satisfy the Partnership's future
expense obligations. However, the amount of cash available for distribution in
future periods will fluctuate. Equipment lease expirations and asset disposals
will cause the Partnership's net cash from operating activities to diminish over
time; and equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and period of realization.
In addition, the Partnership may be required to incur asset refurbishment or
upgrade costs in connection with future remarketing activities. Accordingly,
fluctuations in the level of quarterly cash distributions will occur during the
life of the Partnership.
