This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.  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.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

   Krupp  Government  Income Trust II (the "Trust") is a Massachusetts  business
trust  which was  formed on  February  8, 1991 and is  authorized  to sell up to
25,000,000  shares of  beneficial  interest  (the  "Shares").  Berkshire  Realty
Advisors  Limited  Partnership  acquired  10,000 of such  Shares and  18,315,158
Shares were sold under the  Trust's  public  offering  for  $365,686,058  net of
purchase volume discounts of $617,102.  On December 29, 1994, Berkshire Mortgage
Advisors  Limited   Partnership   acquired  Berkshire  Realty  Advisors  Limited
Partnership's  10,000  shares and  assumed the role of the Advisor to the Trust.
Under the  Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan  ("DRP"),  46,319  Shares  were sold for
$880,061  (the  remaining  6,572,204  Shares are  available  for  general  Trust
purposes). See Note A of Notes to Financial Statements included in Appendix A of
this report for additional information.  The Trust has utilized the net proceeds
from the public offering to acquire  participating  insured mortgages  ("PIMs"),
participating   insured  mortgage  investments   ("PIMIs")  and  mortgage-backed
securities  ("MBS").  The  Trust  considers  itself  to be  engaged  in only one
industry segment, investment in mortgages.

   The Trust  has  elected  to be  treated  as a real  estate  investment  trust
("REIT"),  under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The Trust shall
terminate on December 31, 2030,  unless  earlier  terminated by the  affirmative
vote of  holders  of a  majority  of the  outstanding  shares  entitled  to vote
thereon.  See Note A of Notes to Financial  Statements included in Appendix A of
this report for additional information.

   The  Trust's  investments  in PIMs  on  multi-family  residential  properties
consist  of a MBS  or an  insured  mortgage  loan  (collectively,  the  "insured
mortgage")  guaranteed  or  insured as to  principal  and basic  interest  and a
participation interest. The insured mortgages were issued or originated under or
in  connection  with the housing  programs of Fannie Mae or the Federal  Housing
Administration  ("FHA")  under the  authority of the  Department  of Housing and
Urban  Development  ("HUD").  PIMs  provide the Trust with  monthly  payments of
principal and basic interest and may also provide for Trust participation in the
current  revenue stream and in the residual  value, if any, from a sale or other
realization of the underlying property. The borrower conveys these rights to the
Trust through a subordinated  promissory  note and mortgage.  The  participation
features are neither insured nor guaranteed.

   The  PIMIs  consist  of an  insured  mortgage,  as  discussed  above,  and an
additional loan ("Additional Loan") to the borrower or owners of the borrower in
excess of mortgage amounts insured or guaranteed  under GNMA,  Fannie Mae or FHA
programs  that  increases  the  Trust's  total  financing  with  respect to that
property and  participation  in cash  generated by property  operations  and any
appreciation in the value of the property. The participation features related to
all PIMIs are neither insured nor guaranteed.  Additional  Loans associated with
insured  mortgages  issued or originated under or in connection with HUD cannot,
under government regulations,  be collateralized by a mortgage on the underlying
property.  These Additional Loans are typically  collateralized  with collateral
satisfactory to the Advisor, but are neither insured nor guaranteed.  Additional
Loans  associated  with  FNMA  insured   mortgages  are   collateralized   by  a
subordinated  mortgage on the underlying  property.  The borrower  conveys these
rights to the Trust through a subordinated loan agreement.  Under the Additional
Loans, the Trust receives  semi-annual  interest payments and a Preferred Return
representing a non-compounded cumulative return on the outstanding indebtedness,
usually the aggregate amount of the insured mortgage and Additional Loan.




   The Trust also acquired MBS  collateralized  by single-family  mortgage loans
issued or originated by Fannie Mae or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("FHLMC").  Fannie Mae and FHLMC  guarantee  the  principal  and interest of the
Fannie Mae and FHLMC MBS, respectively.

   The Trust will  distribute  any and all proceeds  from  prepayments  or other
realizations   of  mortgage  assets  to  investors   either  through   quarterly
distributions or possibly special distributions.

   Although the Trust will  terminate no later than December 31, 2030, the value
of the PIMIs and PIMs may be realized by the Trust through  repayment or sale as
early as ten years from the dates of the closings of the  permanent  loans,  and
the Trust may realize the value of all of its other investments within that time
frame thereby  resulting in a dissolution  of the Trust  significantly  prior to
December 31, 2030.

   The requirements for compliance with federal,  state and local regulations to
date have not had an adverse  effect on the  Trust's  operations,  and the Trust
anticipates no adverse effect in the future.

   To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes,  the Trust made a valid
election  to be so  treated  and must  continue  to  satisfy a range of  complex
requirements  including criteria related to its ownership structure,  the nature
of its assets,  the sources of its income and the amount of its distributions to
shareholders.  The Trust intends to qualify as a REIT in each year of operation,
however,  certain factors may have an adverse effect on the Trust's REIT status.
If for any taxable year, the Trustees and the Advisor  determine that any of the
asset,  income, or distribution tests are not likely to be satisfied,  the Trust
may be required to borrow  money,  dispose of  mortgages or take other action to
avoid loss of REIT status.

   Additionally,  if the Trust does not qualify as a REIT for any taxable  year,
it will be  subject to federal  income tax as if it were a  corporation  and the
shareholders  will be taxed as shareholders of a corporation.  If the Trust were
taxed as a corporation, the payment of such tax by the Trust would substantially
reduce the funds available for distribution to shareholders or for reinvestment.
To the extent that  distributions  had been made in  anticipation of the Trust's
qualification as a REIT, the Trust might be required to borrow  additional funds
or to liquidate  certain of its  investments in order to pay the applicable tax.
Moreover,  should the Trust's  election to be taxed as a REIT be  terminated  or
voluntarily  revoked, the Trust may not be able to elect to be treated as a REIT
for the following five-year period.

   As of December 31, 1998,  there were no  personnel  directly  employed by the
Trust.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

   Currently there is no established public trading market for the Shares.

   The  number  of  investors  holding  Shares  as  of  December  31,  1998  was
approximately 15,500.


   The Trust has and  intends to  continue  to declare  and pay  dividends  on a
quarterly basis. The Trustees  established a dividend rate per Share per quarter
of $.3125 for 1998 and 1997.

ITEM 7. 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.

    The  Advisor  of the Trust  conducted  an  assessment  of the  Trust's  core
internal and external computer  information  systems and has 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 all organizations.

    In this regard,  the Advisor of the Trust,  along with  certain  affiliates,
began a computer systems project in 1997 to  significantly  upgrade its existing
hardware and software.  The Advisor  completed the testing and conversion of the
financial  accounting  operating  systems in  February  1998.  As a result,  the
Advisor  has  generated  operating   efficiencies  and  believes  its  financial
accounting  operating  systems  are Year 2000  ready.  The  Advisor of the Trust
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 Trust is using at the present time.

    The  Advisor of the Trust is in the  process  of  evaluating  the  potential
adverse  impact  that could  result  from the  failure of  material  third-party
service providers (including but not limited to its banks and telecommunications
providers) and  significant  vendors to be Year 2000 ready.  The Trust is in the
process of surveying  these third party  providers and assessing their readiness
with year  2000.  To date,  the Trust is not aware of any  problems  that  would
materially  impact its results of  operations,  liquidity or capital  resources.
However,  the Trust has not yet  obtained  all  written  assurances  that  these
providers would be Year 2000 ready.

The  Trust  currently  does  not  have a  contingency  plan  in the  event  of a
particular  provider  or system  not being  Year 2000  ready.  Such plan will be
developed  if it  becomes  clear that a  provider  is not going to  achieve  its
scheduled  readiness  objectives by June 30, 1999. The inability of one of these
providers to complete its Year 2000  resolution  process could impact the Trust.
In addition,  the Trust 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.  To date, The Trust
has not incurred any cost associated with being Year 2000 ready.  All costs have
been  incurred  by the  Advisor  and it is  estimated  that any future Year 2000
readiness  costs will be borne by the  Advisor.  No estimate can be made at this
time as to the impact of the readiness of such third parties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1998 the Trust had significant  liquidity consisting of cash and
cash  equivalents  of  approximately  $18  million  as well as the cash  inflows
provided by its investments in PIMs,  PIMIs and MBS. The Trust  anticipates that
these sources will be adequate to provide the Trust with sufficient liquidity to
meet its obligations as well as to provide dividends to its investors.

The most  significant  demand on the  Trust's  liquidity  is  dividends  paid to
investors,  approximately  $5.7 million per quarter.  The Trust currently has an
annual  dividend  rate of $1.25 per share,  paid in  quarterly  installments  of
$.3125 per share. Funds for the dividends distributed by the Trust come from the
principal  and  interest  payments  on the PIMs,  PIMIs and MBS,  the  principal
repayments  of the PIMs,  PIMIs and MBS, and the interest  earned on the Trust's
cash  and  cash  equivalents.  The  portion  of  dividends  attributable  to the
principal  collected  in those  payments  reduces the capital  resources  of the
Trust. As the capital  resources of the Trust decrease,  the total cash flows to
the Trust will decrease and over time will result in  periodic adjustments 
to the dividends paid to investors.

The Advisor  periodically  reviews the  dividend  rate to  determine  whether an
adjustment is necessary based on projected  future cash flows.  Based on current
projections,  the Advisor  believes the Trust can maintain the current  dividend
rate for the foreseeable future. In general, the Advisor tries to set a dividend
rate that provides for level quarterly  distributions.  To the extent  quarterly
dividends do not fully  utilize the cash  available  for  distribution  and cash
balances  increase,  the Advisor may adjust the dividend rate or distribute such
funds through a special distribution.

In addition to providing  guaranteed or insured  monthly  principal and interest
payments,  the  Trust's  investments  in the PIMs  and  PIMIs  also may  provide
additional  income  through the interest on the  Additional  Loan portion of the
PIMIs  as well as a  participation  interest  in the  operating  cash  flow  and
increase in the value  realized  upon the sale or  refinance  of the  underlying
properties.  However,  these  payments  are neither  guaranteed  nor insured and
depend on the successful operations of the underlying properties.

Most of the properties had stable operating  results during 1998. High occupancy
rates were  maintained and moderate  rental rate increases were achieved at more
than half of the  properties  due to stable or  improving  markets or the unique
character of the specific  property.  However,  six properties are being closely
monitored by the Advisor and warrant  mention.  The  borrowers on the  Norumbega
Point and Oasis PIMIs used  out-of-pocket  funds to keep those  Additional Loans
current during 1998.  Norumbega Point generated  sufficient  operating cash flow
but was  unable  to use it for  Additional  Loan  interest  due to  restrictions
imposed by HUD on cash flow distributions, and Oasis did not generate sufficient
cash flow from operations to pay the Additional  Loan interest.  The borrower on
the  Windmill  Lakes  PIMI  is in  technical  default  for  non-payment  of  his
contractual share of the Additional Loan interest.

The operating  performance  of Oasis and Windmill  Lakes declined more seriously
during 1998. Both properties are located in Broward County, Florida and continue
to be adversely  affected by the highly  competitive  market there.  As a result
both  borrowers  have  sought debt  service  relief.  The  strength of the South
Florida economy, bolstered by an expanding business environment and in-migration
coupled with low interest  rates and available  building  sites,  has encouraged
aggressive development of both single-family homes and new apartments.  Oasis is
located in the Sunrise submarket, an established market that has seen some major
rehab activity as well as new infill  construction  in the  multifamily  sector.
Occupancy at Oasis has remained  stable over the past three years in the low 90%
range,  however  occupancy has become  increasingly  more  expensive to achieve.
Because Oasis must compete with newer or rehabilitated  properties,  maintenance
costs have risen as the standards  apartment  communities are judged by continue
to rise. However,  as an older property,  Oasis has not been able to command the
commensurate  rental rate increases it needs to be able to pay for  improvements
that will  enhance  its appeal in the  market.  Consequently,  the  Advisor  has
tentatively  agreed to defer the Additional  Loan interest  payments for 1999 to
free up funds  for some  major  capital  projects.  As a result  of the  factors
described  above,  in December 1998,  management  determined that the additional
loan  collateralized  by the Oasis  asset was  impaired.  As a result  the Trust
recorded a valuation allowance of $994,000 in the fourth quarter of 1998.

Windmill  Lakes is located in the Pembroke  Pines  submarket,  a market that had
vast tracts of vacant land three years ago and has seen  explosive  construction
activity  since  then in the  single-family,  multifamily  and  retail  sectors.
Windmill  Lakes is a ten-year old, basic  apartment  community that has not been
able to compete against the influx of new apartment  communities that are loaded
with  amenities.  Builders  use  deep  marketing  concessions  to  fill  the new
properties,  lowering  the cost of  renting a new  apartment  and making it more
difficult  for  older  properties  like  Windmill  Lakes to  attract  residents.
Occupancy  at year-end  had fallen below 80%.  The  property's  curb  appeal,  a
critical element in a competitive market, has suffered as well because there has
not been enough cash flow for adequate maintenance. Consequently, due to lack of
cash flow, the borrower is delinquent in his  obligation to pay Additional  Loan
interest.  Although he is trying to sell the  property,  the  borrower  has been
unable to secure a purchase  price that will  cover the  property's  outstanding
liabilities.  The Advisor has agreed to defer the delinquent and 1999 Additional
Loan interest payments pending a sale of the property during 1999. If it becomes
apparent that a sale mutually acceptable to both the Trust and the borrower will
not be  possible,  the  Advisor  will  reassess  the  feasibility  of  extending
long-term debt service relief rather than risk the  consequences of a default on
the guaranteed  first mortgage.  As a result of the factors  described above, in
December 1998,  management determined that the additional loan collateralized by
the  Windmill  Lakes  asset  was  impaired.  As a result  the Trust  recorded  a
valuation allowance of $2,000,000 in the fourth quarter of 1998.

Rivergreens and Mill Pond, while  generating  sufficient  operating  revenues to
service  debt   obligations  and  adequately   maintain  the  properties,   face
increasingly   challenging  market  conditions  that  have  affected  occupancy.
Rivergreens is located in a submarket that typically lags behind the rest of the
Portland,  Oregon market,  which has been affected by the Asian financial crisis
and Boeing's downsizing.  Occupancy at year-end was in the 90% range. Mill Pond,
located in Dayton,  Ohio,  also has  experienced  the  effects of a soft  market
created by new multifamily  construction,  which creates more  competition,  and
continuing low interest rates, which shrinks the population of potential renters
as they purchase homes.  Occupancy fluctuated during the year, but reached a low
point in the low 80% range at year-end.

The  borrower  on the  Windsor  Lake PIMI  asked  the  Trust to  either  allow a
prepayment of the PIMI at a discount or to enter into a workout  agreement  that
would provide debt service relief.  There are significant repair and replacement
issues at the property  that will have a long-term  effect on its value.  During
the fourth quarter 1998, the Advisor proposed some relief on the Additional Loan
in return for an increase in the Trust's  participation in the property's value.
However, there has been no response from the borrower.

Whether the  operating  performance  of any of the  properties  mentioned  above
provide  sufficient  cash flow from operations to pay either the Additional Loan
interest  or  participation  income  will  depend on factors  that the Trust has
little  or no  control  over.  Should  the  properties  be  unable  to  generate
sufficient  cash flow to pay the Additional  Loan interest,  it would reduce the
Trust's  distributable  cash flow and could  affect the value of the  Additional
Interest collateral.

During 1998, the Trust received the full Additional Loan interest  payments from
ten  of its  eleven  PIMI  investments.  Eight  properties  made  the  scheduled
Additional  Loan interest  payments with operating  cash flow.  During 1998, the
Trust  received  participation  income  from nine of its  investments  totalling
$1,056,000.  Two of the Trust's PIM  investments  generated  operating cash flow
that  exceeded the  criteria:  Mequon paid  $73,254 and Mill Pond paid  $21,714.
Seven of the  Trust's  PIMI  investments  generated  operating  cash  flow  that
exceeded that criteria:  Crossings Village paid $150,000;  Lakes at Vinings paid
$60,534;  Martins Landing paid $50,577;  St. Germain paid $359,311;  The Seasons
paid  $239,107;  Windsor Lake paid $83,781;  and The Willows paid $17,734.  As a
result of continuing  strong operating  performance in 1998, the Advisor expects
that most of these same  properties will pay  participation  income to the Trust
again in 1999.

During  1998,  the  Trust  received  the  prepayment  of the  St.  Germain  PIMI
investment  when the property was  refinanced.  This  prepayment  occurred  four
months  prior to the  expiration  of the  five-year  prohibition.  However,  the
Advisor agreed to allow the transaction to be completed while market  conditions
were  favorable.  The Trust received the prepayment of the principal  balance of
the  guaranteed  first  mortgage,  $11,006,015,  the  principal  balance  of the
Additional Loan,  $2,860,000 and the Additional Loan interest due at the time of
the prepayment,  $83,417. In addition,  the Trust received  participation income
comprised  of the  outstanding  Preferred  Return on the Trust's  investment  of
$89,975 and the Trust's share in the increase in the value of the underlying 
property of $1,874,032. The Trust paid a special  dividend on  September  28, 
1998 of $.87 per share from the  prepayment proceeds of the St. Germain PIMI.

There are  contractual  restrictions  on the  prepayment  of the PIMs and PIMIs.
During  the  first  five  years  of  the  investment,  borrowers  are  generally
prohibited from repayment.  During the second five years,  the PIM borrowers can
prepay the insured first mortgage by paying the greater of a prepayment  penalty
or the participation interest due at the time of the prepayment.  Similarly, the
PIMI borrowers can prepay the insured first mortgage and the Additional  Loan by
satisfying the Preferred Return obligation.  The participation  features and the
Additional  Loans are neither insured nor  guaranteed.  If the prepayment of the
PIM or PIMI  results  from the  foreclosure  on the  underlying  property  or an
insurance claim, the Trust generally would not receive any participation  income
or any amounts due under the Additional Loan.

The Trust has the option to call certain PIMs and all the PIMIs by  accelerating
their  maturity if the loans are not  prepaid by the tenth year after  permanent
funding. The Advisor will determine the merits of exercising the call option for
each PIM and PIMI as economic conditions warrant.  Such factors as the condition
of the asset,  local  market  conditions,  the  interest  rate  environment  and
available financing will have an impact on these decisions.

Assessment of Credit Risk

    The Trust's  investments in mortgages,  with the exception of the Additional
Loans, are guaranteed or insured by Fannie Mae, FHLMC or HUD, and therefore, the
risk of a  material  loss of  amounts  invested  is  remote.  The  certainty  of
principal on the Trust's investments primarily depends upon the creditworthiness
of these entities.

    Fannie Mae is a federally  chartered  private  corporation  that  guarantees
obligations originated under its programs. However,  obligations of FNMA are not
backed by the U.S. Government.  Fannie Mae is one of the largest corporations in
the United  States and the  Secretary of the  Treasury of the United  States has
discretionary  authority to lend up to $2.25  billion to Fannie Mae at any time.
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. HUD, an agency of the U.S. Government, insures the
obligations originated under its programs which 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 and their  ability to maintain  occupancy  levels,  including  control of
operating expenses,  maintain 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.

    The Trust includes in cash and cash equivalents  approximately $17.7 million
of commercial  paper,  which is issued by entities with a credit rating equal to
one of the top two rating  categories  of a  nationally  recognized  statistical
rating organization.

</TABLE>

The Trust's  total  interest  income for 1998 as compared to 1997  increased  by
approximately  $340,000 due to higher participation  income,  interest income on
MBS and interest income other,  which was partially offset by decreases in basic
interest  on PIMs and  PIMIs and  Additional  Loan  interest.  The  increase  in
participation income in 1998 as compared to 1997 is due primarily to the Trust's
receipt of approximately $2,323,000 from the operations and repayment of the St.
Germain PIMI and  approximately  $929,000 from its other PIMS and PIMIs in 1998,
versus $789,000 due to the repayment of the Willows Additional Loan and $981,000
of participation on the other PIMs and PIMIs. The increase in interest income on
MBS is due to reclassifying  the MBS portion of The Willows PIMI and The Estates
PIM as MBS as a result of  property  sale  transactions  in 1997 from  which the
Trust received all participation owed but will continue to receive principal and
interest on the first mortgage loan from the buyer. This transaction, along with
the St. Germain prepayment, also caused a decrease in the basic interest on PIMs
and PIMIs in 1998 as compared to 1997. The increase in other interest  income is
due to the Trust having higher short-term  investment  balances for 1998 as 
compared to 1997. 
Additional Loan interest decreased due to the repayment of St. Germain
in 1998 and  Willows in the third  quarter of 1997.  Interest  income on MBS and
basic interest on PIMs and PIMIs will generally decline as principal collections
reduce the outstanding balance of the MBS, PIM and PIMI portfolios.

Trust expenses decreased by approximately $287,000 or 10% in 1998 as compared to
1997 primarily due to decreases in expense  reimbursements  and asset management
fees. In addition, the Trust recorded a provision for impaired mortgage loans of
$2,994,000  related  to  Windmill  Lakes and  Oasis.  The  decrease  in  expense
reimbursements when comparing 1998 to 1997 is due to the Trust having received a
rebate for expense  reimbursements  related to 1997 during 1998. The decrease in
asset  management  fees when  comparing  1998 to 1997  resulted from the Trust's
asset base declining.

The Trust's  total  interest  income for 1997 as compared to 1996  increased  by
approximately  $1,413,000 due to higher Additional Loan interest,  participation
income and other  interest  income,  which was partially  offset by decreases in
interest  income on MBS and basic  interest on PIMs and PIMIs.  The  increase in
participation  income was  primarily  due to the Trust  receiving  Participating
Appreciation  Interest  of  approximately  $789,000  from the  preferred  return
payment related to the Willows  Additional Loan payoff and participation  income
of approximately $981,000 from 10 of its PIMs and PIMIs, as compared to $768,000
from  seven of its PIMs and PIMIs in 1996.  The  Seasons,  which was  completely
renovated  in 1994 and 1995,  performed  very well  during  1996 and 1997.  As a
result,  in 1997,  the Trust began  recognizing  Additional  Loan  interest  and
participation income from The Seasons.

Trust expenses  increased by approximately  $57,000 or 2% in 1997 as compared to
1996  primarily  due to an  increase in expense  reimbursements  and general and
administrative expense. This was offset by lower asset management fees resulting
from a declining asset base when comparing 1997 to 1996.

                  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS







To the Shareholders of
Krupp Government Income Trust II:

     In  our  opinion,  the  accompanying  financial  statements  and  financial
statement  schedule  listed in the  index on page F-2 of this Form 10-K  present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Krupp Government
Income Trust II (the "Trust") at December 31, 1998 and 1997,  and the results of
its  operations  and its cash  flows for each of the three  years in the  period
ended  December 31, 1998,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of management; our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.  We conducted  our audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and  disclosures  in the financial  statements,
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  and evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We
believe  that our audits  provide a reasonable  basis for our opinion  expressed
above.

                                           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A. Organization

        Krupp Government Income Trust II (the "Trust") was formed on February 8,
        1991  by  filing  a  Declaration  of  Trust  in  The   Commonwealth   of
        Massachusetts.  The Trust is  authorized to sell and issue not more than
        25,000,000 shares of beneficial  interest (the "Shares").  The Trust was
        organized  for the purpose of investing in commercial  and  multi-family
        loans  and  mortgage  backed  securities.  Berkshire  Mortgage  Advisors
        Limited  Partnership (the AAdvisor@)  acquired 10,000 of such Shares for
        $200,000  and  18,315,158  Shares  were  sold  for  $365,686,058  net of
        purchase  volume  discounts of $617,102  under a public  offering  which
        commenced on September  11, 1991 and was completed on February 12, 1993.
        Under the Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan ("DRP"),  46,319 Shares were sold
        for  $880,061.  The Trust shall  terminate on December 31, 2030,  unless
        earlier  terminated by the affirmative  vote of holders of a majority of
        the outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon.

B.      Significant Accounting Policies

        The Trust uses the following accounting policies for financial reporting
purposes:

           MBS

           The  Trust  accounts  for its MBS in  accordance  with the  Financial
           Accounting  Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
           Debt and Equity  Securities" (AFAS 115"), under the classification of
           available-for-sale.  The Trust  carries its MBS at fair market  value
           and reflects any unrealized gains (losses) as a separate component of
           Shareholders'  Equity.  The  Trust  amortizes  purchase  premiums  or
           discounts  over  the  life  of the  underlying  mortgages  using  the
           effective interest method.

           Effective January 1, 1998, the Trust adopted  "Statement of Financial
           Accounting Standards No. 130, 'Reporting  Comprehensive Income'" (FAS
           130), was issued establishing  standards for reporting and displaying
           comprehensive   income   and  its   components.   FAS  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.  FAS
           130 had no  material  effect on the  Trust's  financial  position  or
           results of operations.

           The Federal Housing  Administration  insured mortgages are carried at
           amortized  cost unless the Advisor of the Trust  believes  there is a
           impairment  in  value,  in  which  case  a  valuation   allowance  is
           established  in accordance  with Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
           114,  AAccounting  by  Creditors  for  Impairment  of  a  Loan,@  and
           Financial  Accounting Standard No. 118,  AAccounting by Creditors for
           Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. The Trust
           holds non-participating mortgage loans insured by the Federal
           Housing Administration and carries them at amortized cost.

           PIMs and PIMIs

           The Trust accounts for its MBS portion of a PIM or PIMI investment in
           accordance  with  FAS  115,  under  the  classification  of  held  to
           maturity. The Trust carries these MBS at amortized cost.

 B.      Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

           PIMs and PIMIs, continued

           The Federal Housing  Administration  Participating  Insured Mortgages
           and all  Additional  Loans are carried at  amortized  cost 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, AAccounting by Creditors for
           Impairment  of a Loan,@ and  Financial  Accounting  Standard No. 118,
           AAccounting   by  Creditors  for   Impairment  of  a  Loan  -  Income
           Recognition and Disclosures.@

           Basic  interest  is  recognized  based  on  the  stated  rate  of the
           Department of Housing and Urban Development  ("HUD") insured mortgage
           (less the servicer's fee) or the stated coupon rate of the Fannie Mae
           MBS.  The Trust  recognizes  interest  related  to the  participation
           features as earned and when it deems these amounts to be collectible.

           The Trust defers the recognition of Additional Loan interest payments
           as income to the extent  these  interest  payments  are from  escrows
           established  with  the  proceeds  of the  Additional  Loan.  When the
           properties  underlying the PIMIs generate  sufficient  cash flow from
           operations  to  make  the  required   interest   payments  under  the
           Additional  Loans,  the Trust has and will  commence  amortizing  the
           deferred interest  payments into income over the remaining  estimated
           term of the Additional Loan.  During periods where mortgage loans are
           impaired the trust suspends amortizing interest income.

           Impaired Mortgage Loans

           Impaired  loans are those loans which the Advisor  believes  that the
           collection  of all amounts  due in  accordance  with the  contractual
           terms  of the loan  agreement  are not  likely.  Impaired  loans  are
           measured  based  on the  fair  value  of the  underlying  collateral.
           Interest  received on the impaired loans is generally applied against
           the loan principal or as interest income if deemed collectable by the
           Advisor.

           Cash Equivalents

           The Trust  includes all  short-term  investments  with  maturities of
           three  months or less from the date of  acquisition  in cash and cash
           equivalents. The Trust invests its cash primarily in commercial paper
           and money market funds with a commercial bank and has not experienced
           any loss to date on its invested cash.

           Prepaid Expenses and Fees

           Prepaid  expenses and fees  represent  prepaid  acquisition  fees and
           expenses  and  prepaid  participation  servicing  fees  paid  for the
           acquisition  and  servicing  of PIMs and PIMIs.  The Trust  amortizes
           prepaid   acquisition   fees  and   expenses   using  a  method  that
           approximates  the effective  interest  method over a period of ten to
           twelve years,  which  represents  the actual  maturity or anticipated
           payoff date of the underlying mortgage.

           Prepaid Expenses and Fees, continued

           The prepaid participation servicing fees are amortized using a method
           that  approximates  the  effective  interest  method  over a ten-year
           period  beginning at final  endorsement  of the loan if a HUD-insured
           loan and at closing if a Fannie Mae loan.

           Income Taxes

           The  Trust  has  elected  to be taxed as a REIT  under  the  Internal
           Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended,  and believes it will  continue to
           meet all such  qualifications.  Accordingly,  the  Trust  will not be
           subject  to  federal   income   taxes  on  amounts   distributed   to
           shareholders  provided  it  distributes  annually at least 95% of its
           REIT  taxable  income  and  meets  certain  other   requirements  for
           qualifying  as a REIT.  Therefore,  no provision  for federal  income
           taxes has been recorded in the financial statements.

           Estimates and Assumptions

           The preparation of financial  statements in accordance with generally
           accepted accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
           and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amount of  assets  and
           liabilities,  contingent  assets and  liabilities  and  revenues  and
           expenses  during the period.  Significant  estimates  include the net
           carrying  value of Additional  Loans and the  unrealized  gain on MBS
           investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

C.      PIMIs

        The Trust had investments in ten PIMIs at December 31, 1998 that provide
        financing  primarily for multi-family  housing.  Each PIMI consists of a
        Fannie Mae MBS or a sole  participation  interest in a HUD-insured first
        mortgage loan originated  under the FHA lending  program  (collectively,
        the "insured  mortgages") and an "Additional  Loan" made to the borrower
        or the  owners  of the  borrower  to  provide  additional  funds for the
        construction  or  permanent  financing  of the  property.  The FHA first
        mortgage  loan and the first  mortgage  underlying  the  Fannie  Mae MBS
        provide the borrower  with a below  market  interest  rate loan,  and in
        return,  the Trust  receives a percentage of the cash generated from the
        property operations  (AParticipating  Income Interest@) and a percentage
        of any  appreciation of the underlying  property to a preferred  return,
        then  a  percentage  of  any  appreciation  thereafter   (AParticipating
        Appreciation Interest@)  (collectively the "participation  income@). The
        borrower  conveys  the  participation  features  to the Trust  through a
        subordinated   promissory  note  and  mortgage  or  a  subordinate  loan
        agreement   (collectively  the   "Agreements").   The  Trust  makes  the
        Additional  Loan under the Fannie Mae PIMIs  directly to the borrower of
        the first mortgage loan  underlying the Fannie Mae MBS, and the borrower
        collateralizes  the Additional Loan with a subordinated  mortgage on the
        property.

C.      PIMIs, Continued

        The owners of the borrower also pledge their ownership  interests in the
        borrower as additional  collateral.  The Trust made the Additional Loans
        of the FHA  PIMIs to the  owners  of the  entity  having  the FHA  first
        mortgage  loan,  and the owners  collateralize  the  Additional  Loan by
        pledging their ownership interests in the borrowing entity,  their share
        of any  distributions  received,  and the  proceeds  realized  upon  the
        refinancing  of the  property,  sale  of the  property  or  sale  of the
        partnership  interests.  Unlike the insured  mortgages,  the  Additional
        Loans are neither guaranteed nor insured.

        The Trust receives monthly  payments of principal and interest  payments
        on the insured  mortgages and is also entitled to receive  participation
        income and semi-annual  interest  payments  ("Additional Loan interest")
        and preferred interest under the Additional Loans and Agreements.  While
        principal and interest  payments on the insured mortgages are insured or
        guaranteed,  there are  limitations  to the amount and obligation to pay
        interest under the Additional Loan and Agreements.

        The  Agreements  for Fannie Mae PIMIs  entitles the Trust to receive (i)
        semi-annual interest payments on the Additional Loan, (ii) Participating
        Income  Interest,  (iii)  Participating  Appreciation  Interest and (iv)
        Preferred  Interest.  Additional  Loan  interest  accrues  at the stated
        interest rate of the Additional Loan and  Participating  Income Interest
        represents  the  Trust's  share  of the  net  revenue  generated  by the
        property  at a  stated  percentage  generally  ranging  from 25% to 35%.
        Additional Loan interest and  Participating  Income Interest are payable
        only to the extent there is net revenue  available to pay these amounts.
        However,  should the borrower be unable to make the full Additional Loan
        interest  payment,  the borrower  must notify the Trust of the amount of
        the  shortfall.  The Trust can require the  partners of the  borrower to
        make a capital  call  contribution  to the  borrower to fund 50% of this
        shortfall, and the Trust will fund the remainder with an Operating Loan.
        Also,  the Trust is  generally  limited to receiving no more than 50% of
        net revenue on any semi-annual payment date. Participating  Appreciation
        Interest provides the Trust with a stated  percentage,  ranging from 25%
        to 30%, of the excess value of the  property  over amounts due under the
        first mortgage,  Additional Loan and any Operating  Loans, the repayment
        of capital call  contributions,  and a return of original  equity to the
        partners of the borrower.

        Participating  Appreciation Interest is due upon the sale,  refinancing,
        maturity or accelerated maturity, or permitted prepayment of all amounts
        due under the insured mortgage and Additional Loan. Generally, the Trust
        will  not  receive  more  than  50% of the  excess  of  value  over  the
        outstanding  indebtedness,  the payment of Preferred  Interest,  and the
        return of equity and capital call  contributions  to the partners of the
        borrower.

   C.   PIMIs, Continued

        Preferred Interest refers to a non-compounded cumulative return from the
        closing  date  of the  loan  to the  date of  calculation,  at a  stated
        interest  rate  generally  on the  original  outstanding  balance of the
        insured  mortgage plus the Additional  Loan and any other funds advanced
        to the  borrower  (reduced by principal  payments  received)  less:  (i)
        interest  payments  on  the  insured  mortgage,   (ii)  Additional  Loan
        interest,  (iii) Participating  Income Interest,  and (iv) Participating
        Appreciation Interest.  Generally, the amount of Preferred Interest owed
        cannot  exceed the excess of value  over the  outstanding  indebtedness.
        Amounts due under the Additional Loan and Agreements are neither insured
        nor guaranteed.

        The   Agreements  for  FHA  PIMIs  entitle  the  Trust  to  receive  (i)
        Participating  Income  Interest at a stated  percentage  usually ranging
        from 25% to 50% of (a) all  distributable  Surplus Cash generated by the
        property as defined in the regulatory agreement of the HUD-insured first
        mortgage loan, (b) unrestricted  cash generated by property  operations,
        and  (c)  unexpended  reserves  and  escrows;   and  (ii)  Participating
        Appreciation Interest at a stated percentage usually ranging from 20% to
        50% of the  proceeds  or value  of the  property  less  the  outstanding
        indebtedness  upon  the  sale,  refinancing,   maturity  or  accelerated
        maturity,  or permitted  prepayment of all amounts due under the insured
        mortgage and Additional Loan.  Amounts received by the Trust pursuant to
        this  Agreement  reduce  amounts  payable as Base Interest and Preferred
        Interest under the FHA PIMI Additional Loan.

        The FHA PIMI  Additional  Loan  interest is payable  from the  following
        sources: (i) any Surplus Cash received as Participating Income Interest,
        (ii)  amounts  conveyed  to the  Trust  by the  owners  of the  borrower
        representing distributions of Surplus Cash, and (iii) amounts in reserve
        accounts  established with Additional Loan proceeds,  if available,  and
        any interest earned on these amounts.  As with the Fannie Mae PIMIs, the
        borrower  must  notify  the Trust of the amount of any  Additional  Loan
        interest  shortfall.  At its option the Trust can  require the owners of
        the  borrower to make a capital  call for 50% of the  shortfall  and the
        Trust in certain  situations  could  convert the  remaining  50% into an
        operating loan or would forego the remainder.

        The FHA PIMIs also require the payment of Preferred Interest at a stated
        interest  rate  from  the  date  of  final  endorsement  to the  date of
        calculation on the original  outstanding balance of the insured mortgage
        plus the  Additional  Loan and any other funds  advanced by the Trust to
        the  borrower or owners of the  borrowing  entity  (reduced by principal
        payments  received) less: (i) interest  payments paid to the Trust under
        the insured  mortgage,  (ii)  Participating  Income Interest,  and (iii)
        interest  payments  made under the  Additional  Loan  including  amounts
        foregone by the Trust.

        The insured  mortgage and Agreements  generally have maturities of 15 to
        40 years,  however,  under the  Agreements  the Trust can accelerate the
        maturity dates at any time after the ninth or tenth anniversary of final
        endorsement  for the FHA PIMIs or the  closing  date of the  Fannie  Mae
        PIMIs, upon giving twelve months written notice for the payment.

   C.   PIMIs, Continued

        If the Trust  accelerates  the  maturity  date,  the  Trust can  require
        payment of all  amounts  due under the  Additional  Loan and  Agreements
        through  the  accelerated  maturity  date for the payment of amounts due
        under the Agreement and the  HUD-insured  first mortgage loan (providing
        the contract of insurance with the Secretary of HUD is canceled prior to
        the accelerated  maturity date) or prepayment of the first mortgage loan
        underlying the Fannie Mae MBS.

        FHA PIMIs generally  cannot be prepaid for a term of five years from the
        construction  completion  date or final  endorsement.  After  the  fifth
        anniversary of  construction  completion or final  endorsement,  the FHA
        PIMI may be prepaid without penalty providing that all amounts due under
        the  Agreements,  Additional  Loan and FHA  insured  mortgage  are paid.
        Fannie  Mae PIMIs  generally  cannot be  prepaid  during  the five years
        following  the  closing  date of the  underlying  first  mortgage  loan.
        Thereafter, the Fannie Mae first mortgage loan may be prepaid subject to
        a  prepayment  penalty that  declines  each year for the next five years
        with no  prepayment  penalty after the fifth year.  Any  prepayment of a
        Fannie Mae PIMI generally requires prepayment of the first mortgage loan
        underlying  the  Fannie Mae MBS and  payment  of  amounts  due under the
        Agreements and Additional Loan. The Fannie Mae first mortgage loan would
        not need to be prepaid if there is a permitted  assumption  of the first
        mortgage loan,  however,  amounts due under the Agreement and Additional
        Loan would need to be prepaid.  Any prepayment usually requires not less
        than 90 nor more than 180 days prior written notice.

        On July 31,  1998  and on  August  25,  1998,  the  Trust  received  the
        prepayments  of the St.  Germain  Additional  Loan of $2,860,000 and the
        related   Fannie  Mae  MBS  with  a  remaining   principal   balance  of
        $11,006,015.  In addition,  the Trust received  participation  income as
        follows:  (i) Additional Loan interest  payable through the date of sale
        of $83,417,  (ii) Preferred Interest payable through the date of sale of
        $89,975,  (iii) Participating  Appreciation  Interest of $1,874,032.  On
        October  9,  1998,  the Trust  received  Participating  Income  Interest
        payable  through  the  date  of  sale   attributable  to  1998  property
        operations  of $94,258.  On  September  28,  1998,  the Trust used these
        proceeds  to  fund  a  special   dividend  of  $.87  per  share  to  its
        Shareholders

        During the second  quarter of 1997,  the Trust  advanced  an  additional
        $465,000  to  the  owner  of  the  Willows  Apartments,  increasing  the
        Additional  Loan to  $1,265,000.  During the third quarter of 1997, as a
        result of a sale of the property to a third party,  the Trust accepted a
        full repayment of the $1,265,000 Additional Loan and received all of its
        Preferred  Interest  of  $789,336  that was earned as of the date of the
        sale. In  conjunction  with the repayment of the  Additional  Loan,  the
        Trust converted the investment  from a PIMI to an insured  mortgage when
        the purchaser assumed the first mortgage.

        At December 31, 1998 and 1997 there are no insured mortgage loans within
        the Trust's portfolio that are delinquent of principal or interest.

Impaired Mortgage Loans

On  December  31,  1998,  as a result of  continued  deterioration  in  property
operations,  the  Advisor  of the  Trust  determined  that  the  Windmill  Lakes
Additional Loan was impaired. As a result, a valuation allowance of $2.0 million
has been  established to adjust the carrying amount of the loan to the estimated
fair market value of the collateral  less  anticipated  costs of sale. The Trust
did not recognize  interest income on the Windmill Lakes  Additional Loan during
1998.


On  December  31,  1998,  as a result of  continued  deterioration  in  property
operations,  the Advisor of the Trust  determined that the Oasis Additional Loan
was  impaired.  As  a  result,  a  valuation  allowance  of  $994,000  has  been
established  to adjust the  carrying  amount of the loan to the  estimated  fair
market value of the collateral less anticipated costs of sale. The Trust did not
recognize interest income on the Oasis Additional Loan during 1998.

The activity in the valuation  allowance  together with the related recorded and
carrying value of the mortgage loans is as follows:

D.     PIMs

       The Trust has  investments  in four PIMs.  The Trust's  PIMs consist of a
       Fannie Mae MBS which  represents the  securitized  first mortgage loan on
       the  underlying  property or a sole  participation  interest in the first
       mortgage loan originated  under the FHA lending program on the underlying
       property   (collectively  the  "insured   mortgages")  and  participation
       interests in the revenue  stream and  appreciation  of the property above
       specified levels.  The borrower conveys these  participation  features to
       the Trust generally  through a subordinated  promissory note and mortgage
       (the  "Agreement").  The Trust  receives  monthly  principal and interest
       payments on the Fannie Mae MBS  guaranteed by Fannie Mae, and HUD insures
       payment of principal and interest on the FHA first mortgage loan.

       The borrower  generally  cannot prepay the first mortgage loan during the
       first  five  years and may  prepay  the first  mortgage  loan  thereafter
       subject  to a 9%  prepayment  penalty  in years six  through  nine,  a 1%
       prepayment penalty in year ten and no prepayment penalty thereafter.  The
       Trust may receive interest related to its participation  interests in the
       underlying  property,  however,  these  amounts are  neither  insured nor
       guaranteed.

       Generally,  the  participation  features  consist of the  following:  (i)
       "Minimum Additional Interest" at rates ranging from .5% to .75% per annum
       calculated on the unpaid  principal  balance of the first mortgage on the
       underlying  property,  (ii) "Shared Income Interest"  ranging from 25% to
       30% of the  monthly  gross  rental  income  generated  by the  underlying
       property  in excess of a specified  base,  but only to the extent that it
       exceeds the

       amount of Minimum  Additional  Interest received during such month, (iii)
       "Shared Appreciation Interest" ranging from 25% to 30% of any increase in
       value of the underlying  property in excess of a specified base.  Payment
       of participation income from the operations of the property is limited to
       50% of net  revenue  or  surplus  cash as  defined  by Fannie Mae or HUD,
       respectively.  The total amount of  participation  income  payable by the
       underlying  borrower generally cannot exceed 50% of any increase in value
       of the  property,  however,  generally  any net  proceeds  from a sale or
       refinancing  will be available to satisfy any accrued but unpaid  Minimum
       Additional or Shared Income Interest.

       Shared Appreciation Interest is payable when one of the following occurs:
       (1) the sale of the underlying  property to an unrelated third party on a
       date which is later than five years from the date of the  Agreement,  (2)
       the maturity date of the Agreement, or (3) prepayment of the Agreement.

       Under the Agreement, the Trust, upon giving twelve months written notice,
       can accelerate the maturity date of the Agreement and insured mortgage to
       a date not earlier than ten years from the date of the  Agreement for (a)
       the payment of all  participation  interest due under the Agreement as of
       the  accelerated  maturity  date or (b) the payment of all  participation
       interest  due  under  the  Agreement  plus all  amounts  due on the first
       mortgage note on the property.

       During the fourth  quarter of 1997,  the borrower on the Estates PIM sold
       the property to one of the Trust=s affiliated entities. To facilitate the
       sale  transaction,  the borrower  asked and the Advisor agreed to release
       the  participation  features of the PIM and allow the purchaser to assume
       the  obligations  of the  first  mortgage  loan.  In  exchange  for  this
       modification,  the Advisor  required the borrower to pay a settlement  of
       $232,000 to provide the Trust with a financial return  comparable to what
       the Trust would have  expected to receive had the  borrower  continued to
       own the  property.  In  conjunction  with  this  transaction,  the  Trust
       converted the investment from a PIM to an insured mortgage.

        During the second  quarter of 1998,  the Trust  completed the funding of
its commitment on the Fountains PIM.

       At December 31, 1998 and 1997 there are no insured  mortgage loans within
       the Trust=s  portfolio that are delinquent of principal or interest.  The
       Trust's PIMs consisted of the following at December 31, 1998 and 1997:

F.  Shareholders' Equity, continued

       During the period in which the Trust  qualifies as a REIT,  the Trust has
       and will pay  quarterly  dividends  aggregating  at least 95% of  taxable
       income  on an  annual  basis  to be  allocated  to the  shareholders,  in
       proportion to their respective  number of shares.  In order for the Trust
       to maintain  its REIT status with  respect to the  requirements  of Share
       ownership,  the  Declaration of Trust prohibits any investor from owning,
       directly  or  indirectly  more than 9.80% of the  outstanding  Shares and
       empowers the  Trustees to refuse to permit any transfer of Shares  which,
       in their opinion, would jeopardize the status of the Trust as a REIT.

G.     Related Party Transactions

       Under the terms of the Advisory Service  Agreement,  the Advisor receives
       an Asset  Management  Fee  equal to .75%  per  annum of the  value of the
       Trust's actual and committed invested assets payable quarterly.

       The Trust also reimburses  affiliates of the Advisor for certain expenses
       incurred  in  connection  with  maintaining  the books and records of the
       Trust  and  the  preparation  and  mailing  of  financial  reports,   tax
       information and other communications to investors.

       The Trust earned or received $443,282,  $1,024,097,  and $295,522 of base
       interest from The Seasons in 1998, 1997 and 1996,  respectively (see Note
       C). In addition,  the Trust received $239,107 in 1998 and $83,360 in 1997
       related to participating interest income.

H.     Federal Income Taxes

       The  reconciliation of the income reported in the accompanying  statement
       of income with the income reported in the Trust's 1998 federal income tax
       return follows:

            Net income per statement of income                   $ 13,183,111

              Add:    Provision for impaired mortgage loan          2,994,000
                      Book to tax difference for amortization
                      of prepaid fees and expenses                    625,370
              Less:   Additional Loan interest deferred for book
                      purposes                                       (215,433)

            Net income for federal income tax purposes           $ 16,587,048

        The Trust paid dividends of $2.12 per share during 1998 which represents
        approximately  $  .90  from  ordinary  income  and  $1.22  represents  a
        non-taxable distribution for federal income tax purposes.

        The basis of the Trust=s assets for financial reporting purposes is less
        than  its tax  basis  by  approximately  $8,347,000  and  $4,728,000  at
        December  31,  1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The  basis of the  Trust=s
        liabilities for financial  reporting  purposes exceeded its tax basis by
        approximately  $2,289,000  and $2,545,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
        respectively.

I. Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments

        The Trust uses the  following  methods and  assumptions  to estimate the
        fair value of each class of financial instrument:

            Cash and Cash Equivalents

            The carrying  amount  approximates  fair value  because of the short
maturity of those instruments.

            MBS

            The Trust  estimates  the fair  value of MBS based on quoted  market
prices.
            Insured  mortgage loans are valued in a manner  consistent  with the
PIM and PIMI's as described below.

            PIMs and PIMIs

            There  is no  established  trading  market  for  these  investments.
            Management  estimates  the fair  value  of the PIMs and the  insured
            mortgage  portion of the PIMIs  using  quoted  market  prices of MBS
            having  the  same  stated  coupon  rate  as the  insured  mortgages.
            Additional  Loans  are  based  on the  estimated  fair  value of the
            underlying properties. Management does not include any participation
            income in the Trust=s estimated fair values, because Management does
            not believe it can predict  the time of  realization  of the feature
            with any certainty.

            Based on the estimated fair value determined using these methods and
            assumptions,  the  Trust's  investments  in PIMs and PIMIs had gross
            unrealized gains of approximately $2,872,000 at December 31, 1998 
            and gross unrealized losses of approximately $1,049,000 at 
            December 31, 1997.

            Commitments to Fund Construction Loans and PIMIs

            For the year ended December 31, 1997 the Trust approximated the fair
            value  of its  commitment  on The  Fountains  PIM to be equal to the
            commitment amount of approximately $1,006,000.

            At December  31,  1998 and 1997,  the  estimated  fair values of the
            Trust's financial instruments are as follows:

                                     (rounded to thousands)
                                    1998                         1997
                              Fair       Carrying          Fair       Carrying
                              Value        Value           Value        Value

 Cash and cash equivalents  $ 18,011      $ 18,011      $ 13,520      $ 13,520

         MBS                  41,834        41,834        51,171        51,171
