                          NOTES TO 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 andExchange 
 Commission.  However, in the opinion of Berkshire Mortgage
 Advisors Limited Partnership (the "Advisor") of Krupp Government
 Income Trust (the "Trust"), the disclosures contained in this report
 are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. 

 The Trust accounts for all of its investments in Mortgage Backed
 Securities, including those that are part of a PIM or PIMI investment,
 in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,  Accounting
 for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. 

 The Federal Housing Administration Participating Insured Mortgages and
  all Additional Loans are carried at cost less principal payments
  unless the Advisor of the Trust believes there is an impairment in
  value, in which case a valuation allowance is  established in
  accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 114,  Accounting by
  Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,  and Financial Accounting StandardNo. 
  118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income
  Recognition and Disclosures.   

  See Notes to Financial Statements in the Trust s Form 10-K for the
  year ended December 31, 1996 for additional information relevant to
  significant accounting policies followed by the Trust.

  In the opinion of the Advisor of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited
  financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only
  normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Trust's
  financial position as of September 30, 1997, the results of its
  operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
  1996 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
  and 1996.

  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
  September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results whichmay be 
  expected for the full year.  See Management's Discussion and
  Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in
  this report.

   2.  PIMs and PIMIs

  On February 6, 1997, the Trust, with the approval of the independent
  Trustees, agreed to a workout with the borrower of the Windward Lakes
  Apartments PIMI, an affiliate of the Advisor of the Trust.  The terms
  are as follows: a) interest rate relief for 1997 of 2% per annum and
  1% per annum for 1998 through 2000 on the insured mortgage: b) the
  borrower, McNab KC-3 L.P. ( McNab ), contributed $133,036 of new
  equity into the property; c) the borrower will cap the annual
  management fee paid to an affiliate at 3% of revenues; d) the Trust s
  participation in current operations shall be 50% of Surplus Cash as
  determined under HUD guidelines; e) Base Interest on the Additional

Loan if payable from Trust s share of Surplus Cash and unpaid amounts accrue
at 7.5% per annum; and f) the Trust s participation in a sale or refinancing,
after repayment of the first mortgage and additional loans, interest
rate relief, accrued Base Interest and McNab s new equity, shall be
50% of any remaining proceeds up to an amount which would result in
the Trust having received a cumulative, noncompounded preferred return
of 10% on its investment in the first mortgage and additional loans;
any remaining proceeds shall be distributed to McNab.

During the first quarter the Trust received proceeds from the
prepayment of The Timber Ridge Apartments PIMI as follows: $1,540,000
to payoff the Additional loan; $1,246,159 representing additional
interest; $5,630,985 to payoff the outstanding first mortgage
principal balance.  During the third quarter, the Trust made a special
dividend of $.92 per share to it s investors.  This special
distribtuion consisted of the 1996 Canyon Ridge PIM prepayment and the
1997 Timber Ridge prepayment proceeds, net of the reinvestment of
$3,400,000 in a face value insured multifamily mortgage.

   Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  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 most significant demand on the Trust s liquidity is dividends paid
   to investors of approximately $4.9 million per quarter.  The Trust
   currently has an annual dividend rate of $1.30 per share,  paid in
   quarterly installments of $.325 per share.  Funds for dividends come from
   interest income received on PIMs, PIMIs, MBS,  cash and cash equivalents
   net of operating expenses, and the principal collections received on PIMs,
   PIMIs and MBS.  The portion of dividends funded from principal collections
   reduces the capital resources of the trust.  As the capital resources of
   the Trust decrease, the total cash flows to the Trust will also decrease
   which may result in periodic adjustments to the dividends paid to the
   investors.

      The Trust s investments in PIMs and PIMIs, in addition to providing
   guaranteed or insured monthly principal and interest payments, may provide
   the Trust with additional income through participation in the cash
   generated by the operations of the underlying properties and a portion of
   the appreciation realized upon the sale or refinancing of the underlying
   properties.  The Trust s participation interests and the interest payments
   on the Additional Loan portion of the PIMIs are neither insured nor
   guaranteed and will depend primarily on the successful operation of the
   underlying properties.  Seven of the Trust s nine PIMIs funded the
   construction of multi-family housing, which require time to achieve
   stabilized operations following completion of construction.  With this in
   mind, the Trust required the borrowers to establish reserves and escrows
   with Additional Loan proceeds to provide funds for the Additional Loan
   base interest payments during the construction and lease-up periods.  As
   these reserves become depleted, full payment of the Additional Loan base
   interest will depend primarily on whether the underlying property can
   generate sufficient operating cash flow.

      For 1997, Coconut Palm, Mountain View, Red Run and The Seasons have
   sufficient escrows to make the required Additional Loan base interest
   payments if operations cannot support such payments.  Management is
   closely monitoring the operating performances of the remaining properties. 
   Overall, the Trust s ability to meet its objectives will depend primarily
   on the operating performance of the properties underlying the PIMs and
   PIMIs.  During 1997, three Florida properties faced stiff competition from
   new product entering the market.  Two properties, Lifestyles and Windward
   Lakes, are operating with assistance of debt service relief from the
   Trust.  A third, Coconut Palm Club, still has deficit reserves available
   to cover operating shortfalls.  Lifestyles  operating performance has
   improved under the new management team that took over property operations
   during the third quarter of 1996 when the Trust agreed to provide debt
   service relief.  Although occupancy has stabilized this year in the low
   90% range, concessions offered to attract residents to newly built
   apartments limits management s ability to implement rental rate increases. 
   In addition to the Trust s debt service relief, property ownership also
   has contributed additional funds to cover shortfalls as it had agreed to
   do under the terms of the workout.  Debt service relief is scheduled to
   expire at the end of 1997, but the Trust expects to extend the workout for
   another year while the market stabilizes.  Both Windward Lakes and Coconut
   Palm Club have experienced an increase in vacancy during the third quarter
   to the 11% range as the Broward County Florida market has become more
   saturated with newly built apartment properties.

      During the first quarter of 1997 the Trust received a prepayment of The
   Timber Ridge Apartments PIMI.  The Trust received $1,540,000 to payoff the
   Additional Loan and $1,246,159 representing additional interest and
   $5,630,985 to payoff the outstanding first mortgage principal balance.

      During the third quarter, the Trust made a special dividend of $.92 per
   share to it s investors.  This special distribution consisted of the 1996
   Canyon ridge PIM prepayment and the 1997 Timber Ridge prepayment proceeds,
   net of the reinvestment of $3,400,000 face value insured multifamily
   mortgage.

      For the first five years of the PIMIs the borrowers are prohibited from
   repaying.  For the second five years, the borrowers can repay the loans and
   pay the greater of a prepayment penalty or all participation interest for
   PIMs, or by paying all amounts due under the PIMIs and satisfying the
   required preferred return.  The participation features and Additional Loans
   are neither insured nor guaranteed and if repayment of a PIM or PIMI
   results from foreclosure on the underlying property or an insurance claim
   the Trust would not receive any participation interest or any amounts due
   under the Additional Loan.  The Trust has the option to call PIMs and PIMIs
   by accelerating their maturity if the loans are not repaid by the tenth
   year after permanent funding.  The Trust will determine the merits of
   exercising the call option for each PIM or PIMI as economic conditions
   warrant.  Such factors as the condition of the asset, local market
   conditions, interest rates and available financing will have an impact on
   this decision.

   Assessment of Credit Risk

   The Trust's investments in mortgages are guaranteed or insured by the
   Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), the Federal Home Loan
   Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), the Government National Mortgage
   Association ("GNMA") and the Department of Housing and Urban Development
   ("HUD") and therefore the certainty of their cash flows and the risk of
   material loss of the amounts invested depends on the creditworthiness of
   these entities.

   FNMA is a federally chartered private corporation that guarantees
   obligations originated under its programs.  FHLMC is a federally
   chartered corporation that guarantees obligations originated under its
   programs and is wholly-owned by the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks. 
   These obligations are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or the
   Federal Home Loan Bank Board.  GNMA guarantees the full and timely
   payment of principal and basic interest on the securities it issues,
   which represents interest in pooled mortgages insured by HUD. 
   Obligations insured by HUD, an agency of the U.S. Government, are backed
<PAGE>

   by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

      The Trust's Additional Loans have similar risks as those associated
   with higher risk debt instruments, including:  reliance on the owners 
   operating skills, ability to maintain occupancy levels, control operating
   expenses, ability to maintain the properties and obtain adequate
   insurance coverage; adverse changes in general economic conditions,
   adverse local conditions, and changes in governmental regulations, real
   estate zoning laws, or tax laws; and other circumstances over which the
   Trust may have little or no control. 


   Operations

   The following discussion relates to the operations of the Trust during
   the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

   The Trust s net income decreased for the three months ended September 30,
   1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 by $827,577 primarily due to
   a decrease in base interest of $159,723 and increase in amortization
   expense of $824,794.  This was offset by an increase in additional loan
   interest of $123,173 due to the Trust receiving and recognizing as
   interest income additional loan interest payments from The Seasons.  The
   decrease in base interest is primarily due to the Timber Ridge Apartments
   prepayment and the interest rate reduction to the Windward Lakes
   Apartments PIMI.  The increase in amortization expense is due to the
   Trust fully amortizing the prepaid expenses and fees related to the
   Canyon Ridge and Timber Ridge Apartments prepayments.

   The Trust s net income increased for the nine months ended September 30,
   1997, as compared to the same period in 1996 by $748,405.  This increase
   resulted from higher participation income, additional loan interest
   income and other interest income of $1,226,320, $771,918 and $202,090,
   respectively, net of lower base interest and interest income on MBS of
   $550,041 and $106,554, respectively and an increase in amortization
   expense as mentioned above of $791,979.  The increases in participation
   income and additional loan interest income are primarily related to the
   Timber Ridge PIMI. The Trust received $1,246,000 of participation
   interest and reclassed $540,000 of interest previously received and
   recorded in deferred income to interest income upon early repayment of
   the PIMI.  In addition, the Trust is receiving and recognizing as
   interest income the additional loan interest payments from The Seasons. 
   The Trust also received participation interest from the Lincoln Green
   PIM, The Seasons PIMI and the Riverview PIM of $102,000, $32,622 and
   $4,466, respectively.  Base interest decreased as a result of the
   repayment of the Timber Ridge PIMI during the first quarter of 1997 and
   the repayment of the Canyon Ridge PIM during the second quarter of 1996
   and the interest rate reduction given to Windward Lakes Apartments.

     The Trust generally funds a portion of its dividends with MBS and
   PIM/PIMI principal collections which reduces the invested assets
   generating income for the Trust in the future.  As the invested assets
   decline so will base interest on PIMs and PIMIs, interest income on MBS
   and other interest income.
