 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
     II (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, 1999
     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  primarily  of
     normal  recurring   accruals)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the  Trust's
     financial  position as of September 30, 2000, the results of its operations
     for the three and nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999 and its
     cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

     The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     2000 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.

     $176,689,764  and  gross  unrealized  gains  and  losses  of  $170,954  and

     2006 to 2036. At September 30, 2000,  there are no insured  mortgage  loans
     within the Trust's portfolio that are delinquent of principal or interest.

     Oasis at Springtree and Windmill Lakes both have been adversely affected by
     the competitive  South Florida rental housing market.  The Advisor recorded
     an impairment  provision of $2,994,000 in total against the two  Additional
     Loans  during the  fourth  quarter of 1998.  Based on its  analyses  of the
     property  operations  underlying  the PIMIs,  it continues to maintain that
     allowance.

     During the first quarter of 2000,  the Trust received the prepayment of the
     Windsor Lake PIMI  consisting of a first mortgage with a remaining  balance
     of $9,172,642.  The Trust had previously received the balance of $2,000,000
     on the Additional Loan, $40,000 of base interest on the Additional Loan and
     $792,907 of  participation  interest in December 1999. On February 2, 2000,
     the Advisor  declared a special dividend of $.66 per Share that was paid on
     February 18, 2000 from the payoff of the mortgage on the Windsor Lake PIMI.

     In March 2000, the Trust received $175,489 of participation  interest based
     on 1997 operating results for Falls at Hunters Pointe from borrower escrows
     controlled by the Trust.  On July 11, 2000,  the Advisor,  on behalf of the
     Trust,  filed a complaint against the partners of the borrowing entity. The
     Trust is seeking collection of delinquent  participation  interest relating
     to 1998 and 1999 along with late payment penalties and legal fees.

     MBS

     At September 30, 2000,  the Trust's MBS portfolio had an amortized  cost of
     approximately   $19,733,762  and  gross  unrealized  gains  and  losses  of
     approximately  $29,184 and  $396,929,  respectively.  The MBS portfolio has
     maturities ranging from 2009 to 2031.

5.   Related Party Transactions

     The Trust received  $221,641 of Additional Loan Interest during each of the
     three  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  from an
     affiliate of the Advisor. The Trust also received participation interest of
     $270,606  and $200,834  from an  affiliate of the Advisor  during the three
     months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     The Trust received  $443,282 of Additional Loan Interest during each of the
     nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively,  from an
     affiliate of the Advisor. The Trust also received participation interest of
     $446,574  and $392,816  from an  affiliate  of the Advisor  during the nine
     months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

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

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 2000 the Trust had  liquidity  consisting of cash and cash
     equivalents,  of  approximately  $7.7  million as well as the cash  inflows
     provided by PIMs, PIMIs, MBS, cash and cash equivalents. The Trust may also
     receive  additional cash flow from the  participation  features of its PIMs
     and PIMIs.  The Trust  anticipates  that these  sources will be adequate to
     provide  the  Trust  with  sufficient  liquidity  to meet its  obligations,
     including providing dividends to its investors.

     The most significant demand on the Trust's liquidity is quarterly dividends
     paid to investors of approximately $4.4 million, and special distributions.
     Funds for dividends come from interest income received on PIMs,  PIMIs, MBS
     and 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 Advisor  periodically reviews the dividend rate to determine whether an
     adjustment is necessary based on projected  future cash flows.  The current
     dividend rate is $.24 per Share per quarter. 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  participation  income  based on  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.

     The  Trust  received  Additional  Loan  interest  from  seven  of the  PIMI
     investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Trust also
     received a payment from the borrower on the Windmill Lakes PIMI,  which was
     applied to delinquent  Additional  Loan interest.  During 1999, the Advisor
     determined that the borrower on the Norumbega PIMI had paid Additional Loan
     interest from funds other than surplus cash, which resulted in overpayments
     during the previous three years;  consequently,  the Trust will not receive
     any Additional Loan interest until the overpayment has been absorbed.

     The Trust received  participation  interest totaling  $1,651,508 during the
     nine months  ended  September  30,  2000.  The Trust  collected  $72,556 of
     participation  interest based on 1998 operating  results for Mequon Trails,
     $346,514 of  participation  interest  based on both 1998 and 1999 operating
     results for Martins Landing,  $686,165 of  participation  interest based on
     both 1998 and 1999 operating results for The Lakes at Vinings,  $175,968 of
     participation  interest  based on the second  half of 1999  operations  and
     $270,606  based  on the  first  half of 2000  operations  for The  Seasons,
     $50,000 of  participation  interest  from  Crossings  Village based on 1999
     operating results and $49,699 of participation  interest from The Fountains
     based on 1998  operations.  The  Trust  expects  to  collect  participation
     interest based on successful 1999 operating  results from Mequon Trails and
     Sunset Summit by year end.

     The  Advisor is closely  monitoring  three other  properties  due to market
     conditions or payment issues relating to the Additional Loans.  Competitive
     market  conditions in the south Florida market have adversely  affected the
     ability of Oasis at Springtree  and Windmill  Lakes to generate  sufficient
     cash flow from  operations  to service  the  interest  payments  due on the
     Additional  Loans.  The  Borrower  on the Falls at Hunters  Pointe PIMI was
     declared in default  under the terms of the  participation  and  Additional
     Loan documents for  non-payment of  participation  interest due relating to
     1998 and 1999 along with late payment penalties and legal fees.

     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 fostered  aggressive  development  of both
     single family homes and new  apartments.  Oasis at Springtree 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 that  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 agreed to defer Additional Loan interest payments
     for 1999 to free up funds for some major capital projects.  Additional Loan
     interest payments resumed during 2000. As a result of the factors described
     above, the Advisor  determined that the Additional Loan  collateralized  by
     the Oasis at  Springtree  asset was  impaired,  and the  Trust  recorded  a
     valuation allowance of $994,000 in the fourth quarter of 1998 and continues
     to maintain that allowance.

<PAGE>

     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 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  have  extensive  amenity  packages.  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 has dropped as low as
     80%, although there has been a slight recovery to the mid to high 80% range
     during the first  half of 2000.  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, the borrower
     has been delinquent in his obligation to pay Additional Loan interest since
     March 1998.  Although he has tried 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
     Additional Loan payments pending a sale of the property.  In the mean time,
     the borrower paid $25,000  towards the delinquent  Additional Loan interest
     during  the  first  quarter.  If it  becomes  apparent  that a sale  of the
     property at a mutually  acceptable price 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.  As a result of the  factors  described  above,  the  Advisor
     determined  that the Additional Loan  collateralized  by the Windmill Lakes
     asset was  impaired,  and the  Trust  recorded  a  valuation  allowance  of
     $2,000,000  in the fourth  quarter of 1998 and  continues to maintain  that
     allowance.

     In November  1999,  the Trust notified the borrower on the Falls at Hunters
     Pointe  PIMI  that he was in  default  for  non  payment  of  participating
     interest  due to the Trust based on 1997 and 1998  operating  results.  The
     borrower has failed to cure the default. Consequently, the Trust elected to
     use a  portion  of the  borrower's  funds  held in  escrow to cure the 1997
     portion of the default.  The borrower remains in default for 1998 operating
     results and is now in default  for 1999  operating  results.  The Trust has
     filed a complaint against the partners of the Borrowing  entity.  The Trust
     is seeking collection of the delinquent  participation  interest related to
     1998 and 1999 along with late payment penalties and legal fees.

     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 Loan collateral.

     On December 16, 1999,  the Trust  received  $2,832,907  from Windsor  Lake;
     consisting of $2,000,000 from the payoff of the Additional Loan, $40,000 of
     Additional Loan interest,  and $792,907 of Participation income. The payoff
     of the balance on the insured mortgage,  $9,172,642 was received on January
     26,  2000.  The Trust  paid a special  dividend  of $.66 per Share from the
     prepayment proceeds.

     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
     premium  or the  participation  income  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.

<PAGE>

     Results of Operations

     The  Trust's  net income  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000
     decreased  by  approximately  $696,000 as compared to the nine months ended
     September 30, 1999 due  primarily to decreases in interest  income from MBS
     and  cash  and cash  equivalents  and  basic  interest  on PIMs and  PIMIs.
     Participation income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
     by  approximately  $1,146,000 due to the Trust receiving  payments from six
     mortgage  investments  compared  to two in  1999.  Interest  income  on MBS
     decreased  by  approximately  $727,000,  which was due to The  Estates  MBS
     payoff in 1999 and  amortization  of the MBS portfolio.  Interest income on
     cash and cash  equivalents  decreased  due to lower  average cash  balances
     during the first nine  months of 2000 when  compared  to the same period in
     1999. Basic interest  decreased  primarily due to the payoff of the Windsor
     Lake PIMI earlier this year.

     Net income decreased by  approximately  $394,000 for the three months ended
     September 30, 2000 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999
     due primarily to lower basic  interest  income on PIMs and PIMIs,  interest
     income on MBS,  and  interest  income on cash and cash  equivalents.  Basic
     interest on PIM and PIMIs and interest income on cash and cash  equivalents
     decreased for the same reasons 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.  Asset management
     fees will  decrease as the  Trust's  investments  in MBS,  PIMs and insured
     mortgages continue to decline as a result of principal collections.


Item 3.               QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Assessment of Credit Risk

     The Trust's  investments  in insured  mortgages  and MBS are  guaranteed or
     insured by Fannie Mae, 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.

     Fannie Mae 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 represent  interests 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,
     ability to maintain the properties and obtain adequate insurance  coverage.
     Operations  also may be  effected  by 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 $7.3 million
     of Agency paper, which is issued by Government Sponsored Enterprises with a
     credit rating equal to the top rating  category of a nationally  recognized
     statistical rating organization.

<PAGE>

     Interest Rate Risk

     The Trust's  primary  market risk exposure is to interest rate risk,  which
     can be defined as the  exposure of the  Trust's  net income,  comprehensive
     income or financial  condition to adverse  movements in interest  rates. At
     September 30, 2000,  the Trust's PIMs,  PIMIs and MBS comprise the majority
     of the Trust's assets. As such,  decreases in interest rates may accelerate
     the prepayment of the Trust's  investments.  The Trust does not utilize any
     derivatives or other  instruments to manage this risk as the Trust plans to
     hold all of its investments to expected maturity.

     The Trust monitors  prepayments and considers prepayment trends, as well as
     dividend  requirements of the Trust,  when setting regular dividend policy.
     For  MBS,  the  fund  forecasts  prepayments  based on  trends  in  similar
     securities as reported by statistical reporting entities such as Bloomberg.
     For PIMs and PIMIs,  the Trust  incorporates  prepayment  assumptions  into
     planning as individual  properties notify the Trust of the intent to prepay
     or as they mature.
