                                            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  and
      Exchange  Commission.  However,  in  the  opinion  of  Berkshire  Mortgage
      Advisors  Limited  Partnership  (the  "Advisor"),  the  Advisor  to  Krupp
      Government Income Trust (the "Trust"),  the disclosures  contained in this
      report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  See
      Notes to Financial  Statements in the Trust's Form 10-K for the year ended
      December  31, 1997 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 June 30, 1998,  its results of operations for the three and
      six months  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997,  and its cash flows for the six
      months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

      The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
      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.    PIMs and PIMIs

      At June  30,  1998,  the  Trust=s  PIMs  and  PIMIs  have a fair  value of
      approximately  $148,413,777  and  gross  unrealized  gains  and  losses of
      approximately $1,040,041 and $5,365,252  respectively.  The PIMs and PIMIs
      have maturities ranging from 2001 to 2034. At June 30, 1998, there was one
      insured mortgage loan held in the Trust's portfolio that was delinquent in
      its principal  and interest  payments.  The borrower on the  Lifestyles at
      Boot  Ranch  PIMI  defaulted  on its May 1,  1998  debt  service  payment.
      However, the Trust continues to receive its monthly principal and interest
      pass-thru  payments  because those payments are insured by GNMA. All other
      borrowers  were current in their debt service  obligations  on the insured
      mortgages held in the Trust's portfolio.

      During June of 1998, the Trust received a prepayment of the Park Highlands
      PIMI and Additional Loan with a remaining principal balance of $16,752,295
      and $3,000,000 respectively. In addition, the Trust received Participation
      income  as  follows:   (i)  a  Preferred   Return  of   $1,481,865,   (ii)
      Participating  Appreciation  interest of  $1,206,719,  (iii) a  Prepayment
      Premium of $479,476,  (iv)  Participating  Income interest of $211,316 and
      (v) Additional Loan interest payable through the date of sale of $57,945.

      Also during June, the Trust received a prepayment of the Coconut Palm Club
      Additional  Loan of $2,850,900.  The Trust received a preferred  return of
      $1,400,538 and Additional  Loan interest  payable through the date of sale
      of $89,091.  The Coconut Palm Club PIMI first mortgage of $15,851,211 was
      received by the Trust on July 15, 1998.

      Due to the  prepayments  of the  Park  Highlands  and  Coconut  Palm  Club
      Additional  Loans in June,  the  Trust  also  recognized  additional  loan
      interest  of  $1,290,000  and  $1,295,354  respectively,   that  had  been
      previously classified as deferred income on Additional Loans.

3.    MBS

      At June 30,  1998,  the Trust=s MBS  portfolio  has an  amortized  cost of
      approximately  $23,548,403  and unrealized  gains of  $1,321,317.  The MBS
      portfolio has maturities ranging from 2008 to 2029.

      In June  1997,  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  130,
      'Reporting  Comprehensive  Income'  (FASB  130),  was issued  establishing
      standards  for  reporting  and  displaying  comprehensive  income  and its
      components  effective  January 1, 1998.  FASB 130  requires  comprehensive
      income and its components, as recognized under accounting standards, to be
      displayed  in a  financial  statement  with the same  prominence  as other
      financial statements,  if material. FASB 130 had no material effect on the
      Trust's financial position or results of operations.

4.    Changes in Shareholders' Equity

      A summary of changes in shareholders' equity for six months ended June 30,
1998 is as follows:

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.  Six of the Trust's  seven
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  1998,  Red Run has  sufficient  escrows  to make the  required
Additional  Loan base  interest  payments  if  operations  cannot  support  such
payments.  In addition,  the Trust received the scheduled  semi-annual  interest
payments on the Additional Loans related to Park Highlands and The Seasons. As a
result of the workouts negotiated on the Lifestlyes and Windward Lakes, interest
on the additional loans will only be paid if there is any surplus cash generated
from each of the  property's  operations.  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.

    The  borrower  on the  Mountain  View PIMI has asked the Advisor to consider
some  type of debt  service  relief.  The Trust had  entered  into a  short-term
workout  agreement  that  had  waived  four (4) Base  Interest  payments  on the
Additional  Loan and had reduced the  interest  rate on the insured  mortgage by
1/2%for an  18-month  period,  which  ended in  December  1996.  The recent
strength of the Huntsville market and low interest rates have flooded the market
with both  single-family  homes and new  apartment  construction.  Consequently,
Mountain View's occupancy and rental rate  collections have fallen.  The Advisor
is currently  assessing the  feasibility of extending debt service relief to the
borrower until the market stabilizes.

    On June 3, 1998,  the Trust  received  a  prepayment  of the Park  Highlands
Apartments   Additional  Loan.  The  Trust  received  $3,000,000  to  repay  the
Additional Loan, $3,379,376  representing  participation interest and $57,945 of
additional  loan interest.  On June 19, 1998, the Trust received  $16,752,295 to
repay the outstanding first mortgage balance.

    On June 12, 1998,  the Trust  received a prepayment of the Coconut Palm Club
PIMI. The Trust  received  $2,850,900 to repay the  Additional  Loan  $1,400,538
representing  participation interest and $89,091 of additional loan interest. On
July 15, 1998, the Trust received  $15,851,211 to repay the outstanding first
mortgage balance.
     
     On August 6, 1998, the Advisor of the Trust declared a special dividend of 
$2.86 per share to be paid during the third quarter of 1998 from the prepayment
proceeds of the Park Highlands and Coconut Palm Club PIMIs.

    The  borrower  on the  Lifestyles  PIMI  defaulted  on its May 1,  1998 debt
service payment on the insured first mortgage loan. The Trust had entered into a
workout agreement that had changed the structure of the Additional Loan payments
and had reduced the interest rate on the insured  mortgage by 1% per annum for a
twenty-four  month  period  that  ended  in  December  1997.  Due to  continuing
competition  from newer  properties,  Lifestyles  has not been able to  generate
sufficient  operating  revenues to maintain  the  property and service the first
mortgage debt. The Advisor expects to structure a long-term  modification of the
first mortgage loan as well as the Additional Loan prior to year-end 1998.

   For the first five years of the PIMs and 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 MBS and mortgages  are  guaranteed or insured by
FannieMae,  the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), the Government
National Mortgage  Association  (AGNMA@) 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.

   FannieMae  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 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  owner's  operating
skills,  ability to  maintain  occupancy  levels,  control  operating  expenses,
maintain the property 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 six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

    The Trusts net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998  increased as
compared to the three  months ended June 30, 1997 by  approximately  $6,728,000.
This increase was due primarily to higher participation income of $4,871,000 and
additional loan interest  income of $2,738,000 and lower expense  reimbursements
of  $123,000  and asset  management  fees of  $22,000.  This was offset by lower
interest  income on MBS of $76,000,  other interest income of $63,000 and higher
amortization  expense of $864,000.  The  increases in  participation  income and
additional loan interest  income are primarily  related to the repayments of the
Park  Highlands  PIMI and the  Coconut  Palm  Club  Additional  Loan.  The Trust
received a combined $4,780,000 of participation interest, $147,000 of additional
loan interest and  recognized  $2,585,000  of interest that had been  previously
received and recorded as deferred  income on additional  loans.  The increase in
amortization  expense  is because  the  Trust,  fully  amortized  the  remaining
balances of prepaid fees and expenses associated with the Park Highlands PIMI.

    Net income  increased for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to
the same  period in 1997 by  approximately  $4,596,000.  This  increase  was due
primarily to higher  participation  income of  $3,550,000  and  additional  loan
interest income of $2,214,000 and lower expense  reimbursements  of $137,000 and
asset  management  fees of  $34,000.  This was offset by lower base  interest of
$208,000,  other  interest  income of $205,000 and  interest  income on MBS of 
$82,000 and higher amortization  expense of $848,000.  Participation  income and
additional loan interest  recognized in 1998 is related to the above  repayments
as compared  to  $1,246,000  of  participation  income and  $540,000 of deferred
additional  loan interest in 1997 related to the  prepayment of the Timber Ridge
PIMI.  The decrease in base  interest is due to the borrower of the Timber Ridge
PIMI prepaying the first mortgage during the first quarter of 1997.

    Other  interest  income  also  decreased  due  to  the  Trust  having  lower
short-term  investment  balances  during the first half of 1998 when compared to
the  corresponding  period in 1997.  During the six months ended June 1997,  the
Trust invested,  on a short-term  basis the prepayment  proceeds from the Canyon
Ridge  and  Timber  Ridge  prepayments  while  the  Advisor  sought  alternative
investments in participating  mortgages.  When no suitable investment was found,
the Trust made a special  dividend of $13.8 million  during the third quarter of
1997. These decreases were slightly offset by lower expense  reimbursements  and
asset management fees as mentioned above. The Trust generally funds a portion of
its dividends  with  principal  collections  which,  will continue to reduce the
assets of the Trust  thereby  reducing the income  generated by the Trust in the
future.
