                        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" of 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, 1998
      for additional information relevant to significant accounting policies 
      followed by the Trust.

      In the opinion of the Advisor of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited 
      financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal 
      recurring  accruals)  necessary to present fairly the Trust's financial
      position as of September 30, 1998, the results of its operations for the
      three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 and its cash flows
      for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

      The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 
      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 September 30, 1998,  the Trust's PIMs and PIMIs have a fair value of
      $131,585,260 and gross unrealized gains and losses of approximately 
      $841,663 and $5,937,357 respectively.  The PIMs and PIMIs have maturities
      ranging from 2001 to 2034. At September 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.

      On July 15, 1998, the Trust received a prepayment of The Coconut Palm
      Club PIMI first  mortgage  with a remaining  principal balance of 
      $15,851,211. In addition, in June the Trust received a prepayment of the
      Coconut Palm Club Additional Loan of $2,850,900.  The Trust also received
      a preferred return of $1,419,116 and Additional Loan base interest payable
      through the date of sale of $89,091.

      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 base interest payable through the date of sale of 
      $57,945.

      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 these Additional Loans.

2.    PIMs and PIMIs, continued

      On August 6, 1998, the Advisor of the Trust declared a special dividend
      of $2.86 per share that was paid on September 9, 1998 from the prepayment
      proceeds of the Park Highlands and Coconut Palm Club PIMIs.

      Mountain View Apartments has been adversely affected by a competitive
      housing market in the Huntsville area.  Since March 31, 1998 the borrower
      of the Mountain View Additional Loan has been in technical default on its
      Additional Loan for not making the full required base interest payments
      due on the Additional Loan.  The Advisor is currently assessing the
      feasibility of extending debt service relief to the borrower until the
      market stabilizes.

3.    MBS

      At September 30, 1998, the Trust's MBS portfolio has an amortized cost of
      approximately $22,149,110 and unrealized gains of $1,492,576. 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.

   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 risks
   and uncertainties, including those described  herein.  Actual results may 
   differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements.

   The Advisor of the Trust has conducted an assessment of the Trust's core
   internal and external computer information systems and has taken the further
   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 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 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.
   No estimate can be made at this time as to the impact of the readiness of
   such third parties.

   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. In 
   addition,  to the quarterly dividends, the Trust pays special dividends when
   prepayments occur in its PIM and PIMI portfolio.

   As a result of the Park Highlands and Coconut Palm Club prepayments the Trust
   made a special  dividend of $2.86 per share from the prepayment proceeds.
   Consequently, the Trust's capital resources and its future cash flows will be
   lower.  However,  at this time the Advisor has determined that the Trust can
   maintain its current dividend rate of $1.30 per share per year.  In general,
   the Advisor tries to set a dividend rate that provides for level quarterly 
   dividends.  To the extent  quarterly  dividends do not fully utilize the 
   cash available for distribution and cash balances increase, the Advisor may
   reinvest the available proceeds, adjust the dividend rate or distribute such
   funds through a special dividend.

   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 base
   interest  payments  on the  Additional  Loan  portion of the PIMIs are  
   neither  insured nor guaranteed and will depend primarily on the successful
   operation of the underlying  properties.  Seven of the Trust's original eight
   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  depends  primarily on whether the  underlying  property can
   generate  sufficient operating cash flow. Only Red Run still has adequate
   reserve escrows to make the required Additional Loan base interest  payments
   for 1998 if cash flow from the property is  insufficient.  The Seasons made 
   both scheduled 1998 Additional Loan base interest payment with operating cash
   flow. Two other  properties, Lifestyles and Windward Lakes, are operating 
   under workout agreements with the Trust that require Additional Loan base 
   interest  payments only if surplus cash is generated through  property
   operations after servicing the insured mortgage.  Lifestyles has not made any
   payments during 1998, and Windward Lakes made a partial payment.

   Mountain View made only a partial payment of Additional  Loan base  interest
   in March 1998 and the September 1998 payment remains outstanding. The 
   borrower on the Mountain View PIMI has asked the Advisor to provide long-term
   debt service relief.  During 1995 and 1996, the Trust had entered into a
   short-term  workout agreement that had waived four Additional Loan base 
   interest payments and had reduced the interest rate on the insured  mortgage
   by .5% for 18 months.  Although the workout  helped  stabilize  the property
   through a down market cycle,  the recent  strength in the Huntsville  market
   combined with low interest rates and abundant  capital sources has caused a
   flood of both  single-family  home and apartment construction.  Consequently,
   occupancy and rental rates have fallen at Mountain View.  The Advisor is
   still assessing the  feasibility of  providing  debt  service  relief  until
   the market stabilizes again.

   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 had reduced the interest rate on the insured  
   mortgage by 1% per annum for a twenty-four month  period that ended in 
   December  1997 and changed  the  required  interest  payments  on the 
   Additional  Loan.  Lifestyles  is operating under a workout  agreement with
   the Trust that requires future Additional Loan base interest payments only if
   surplus cash is  generated  through  property  operations  after  servicing
   the  insured  mortgage.  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 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 likely receive any participation interest or any amounts
   due under the  Additional  Loan. The Trust has the option to call PIMs and
   PIMIs by  accelerating  their maturity if the loans are not repaid by the
   tenth year after permanent  funding.  The Trust will determine the merits of
   exercising the call option for each PIM or PIMI as economic conditions
   warrant. Such factors as the condition of the asset, local market conditions,
   interest rates and available financing will have an impact on this decision.

   Assessment of Credit Risk

   The Trust's investments in mortgages are guaranteed or insured by 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.  However, obligations of Fannie
   Mae 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.  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 owners' operating
   skills, ability to maintain occupancy levels,  control operating expenses, 
   ability to maintain the properties and obtain adequate  insurance  coverage;
   adverse changes in general economic  conditions,  adverse local conditions,
   and changes in governmental regulations, real estate zoning laws, or tax
   laws; and other circumstances over which the Trust may have little or no
   control.

   The Trust includes in cash and cash equivalents approximately $9.8 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. 

   Operations

   The following discussion relates to the operations of the Trust during the
   three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

   The Trust's  net income  increased  for the three  months  ended  September 
   30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.  This increase was primarily
   due to higher  participation income,  additional loan interest income and
   other interest  income and lower expense  reimbursements,  asset management
   fees and amortization  expense.  The increase in participation income is due
   to the Trust receiving  higher Shared Interest  Income from The Seasons and
   Riverview.  The increase in Additional Loan Interest is primarily due to
   recognizing  a portion of Red Run's base  interest  payment as income since
   the property operations funded such payment.  The increase in interest income
   on cash and cash equivalents is due to the Trust having higher  short-term 
   investment  balances for the three months ended  September  30, 1998 as
   compared to the same period in 1997.  This was offset by lower base interest
   on PIMs and interest  income on MBS. The decrease in base interest and asset
   management fees is due to the Park Highlands and Coconut Palm Club PIMI
   prepayments during the second and third quarters of 1998.

   The Trust's net income  increased  significantly  for the nine months ended 
   September  30, 1998,  as compared to the same period in 1997.  This increase
   was primarily due to higher  participation  income,  additional  loan base 
   interest  income and other  interest income and lower expense reimbursements
   and asset  management  fees.  This was offset by lower base interest on PIMs
   and interest income on MBS and an increase in  amortization  expense.  The
   increases in  participation  income and additional  loan base interest income
   are primarily related to the  prepayments of the Park  Highlands and Coconut
   Palm Club PIMI's.  The Trust also reclassed and recognized all of the 
   deferred  additional  loan interest  related to these two PIMI  prepayments 
   as additional  loan base interest income.  In addition, the Trust is 
   receiving and recognizing as interest income the additional loan base 
   interest  payments related to The Seasons PIMI.  The Trust also  received
   participation  interest  from The Seasons PIMI,  the Lincoln Green and the
   Riverview PIMs. Base interest and asset  management fees decreased as a 
   result of the PIMI prepayments of the Park Highlands during the second 
   quarter of 1998,  Coconut Palm Club during the third quarter of 1998 and 
   Timber Ridge during the first quarter of 1997.  During the nine months ended
   September  30 1998,  the Trust received a rebate for expense  reimbursements
   related to 1997.  The increase in amortization  expense is because the Trust
   fully amortized the remaining  balances of prepaid fees and expenses
   associated with the Park  Highlands  and Coconut Palm Club PIMI's.  Other
   interest income also  increased  due to the Trust having  higher  short-term
   investment balances during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 when
   compared to the corresponding period in 1997.

   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.
