                          KRUPP GOVERNMENT INCOME TRUST

                          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  included in the Trust's Form 10-K for the year
       ended  December  31,  1995   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, 1996,  the results of its  operations for
       the  three and nine  months ended September  30, 1996 and  1995 and its
       cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

       The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
       30, 1996 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, 1996, the Trust s PIMs and PIMIs have a fair value  of
       approximately  $175,089,000 and  gross unrealized  gains and  losses of
       approximately $69,000 and $9,048,000, respectively.  The PIMs and PIMIs
       have maturities ranging from 2001 to 2034.

       During August  1996, the  Trust entered  into a modification  agreement
       (the  Agreement ) with the  borrower of the Lifestyles Apartments  PIMI
       that  reduces the interest  paid monthly on the  insured mortgage by 1%
       per annum for a period of  24 months.  The Agreement also  extended the
       prepayment lock out  period by five  years and postponed the  date when
       the Trust can  accelerate the maturity date five  years.  The Agreement
       modified  the terms of  the Additional  Loan as follows:  base interest
       will  only be  payable from 50%  of available surplus  cash during each
       fiscal year up to a maximum payment of $100,000; the Preferred Interest
       rate  will be 10%; and the Preferred  Return will only be calculated on
       the  outstanding balance  of the Additional  Loan.   The Agreement also
       amended the participation features to increase the Participating Income
       Interest  percentage from  50%  to  75% of  surplus  cash on  available
       surplus cash in excess of  $200,000.  In addition, the borrower  agreed
<PAGE>

       to contribute $150,000 to an escrow  account controlled by the Trust to
       fund  operating deficits  of the property  and agreed  to fund  up to a
       maximum of $50,000 per year  for operating deficits at the property  if
       deemed necessary  by GIT.    Upon the  sale, refinancing,  maturity  or
       permitted prepayment, and following payment of the insured mortgage and
       the Additional  Loan principal, the  Trust will be entitled  to receive
       the interest currently foregone on the insured mortgage.   However, the
       Trust and the  borrower will share  equally in the  proceeds until  the
       borrower receives repayment of the $150,000 contributed  to the escrow.
       If there are still sufficient proceeds, the Trust will then be entitled
       to payment for any Preferred Interest  and will then receive 50% of the
       remaining   proceeds.  Any amounts under  the participation features or
       the  Preferred  Return accumulated  prior to  the modification  will be
       foregone by the Trust.

       On April 25, 1996, the Trust received a prepayment of  the Canyon Ridge
       Apartments PIM from the Federal National Mortgage Association  ( FNMA )
       for the outstanding  principal balance of  approximately $8.9  million.
       The  Trust  intends  to  reinvest  the  principal  received  from  this
       prepayment and is  currently looking at  investment opportunities.  The
       borrower  defaulted on  its first  mortgage loan  and FNMA  intended to
       foreclose on the property, but the borrower filed for bankruptcy before
       this  happened.    The  Trust  intends  to  pursue  collection  of  all
       participation interest  income due  from the borrower  through a  claim
       with  the   bankruptcy  court.     Whether   the  Trust  collects   any
       participation income  interest will depend  on the ultimate  outcome of
       the bankruptcy proceedings.

  3.   MBS

       At September 30, 1996,  the Trust s MBS portfolio has an amortized cost
       of  approximately  $26,355,050  and  unrealized  gains  and  losses  of
       $698,572 and $51,875,  respectively.  The MBS  portfolio has maturities
       ranging from 2008 to 2029.

  4.   Related Party Transactions

       During the three and  nine months ended  September 30, 1996, the  Trust
       earned $57,739  and $208,152,  respectively,  of interest  payments  on
       Additional Loans from affiliates of the Advisor as compared to $150,412
       and $300,825 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
       respectively.

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

      Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  Results
  of   Operations   contains  forward-looking   statements   including   those
  concerning  Management s   expectations  regarding   the  future   financial
  performance   and  future events.  These  forward-looking statements involve
  significant  risk  and  uncertainties,  including  those  described  herein.
  Actual  results  may  differ  materially  from  those  anticipated  by  such
  forward-looking statements.

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

      The Trust s investments in PIMs  and the insured mortgages of  the PIMIs
  provide guaranteed  or insured monthly  principal and  interest payments and
  may provide the Trust with participation  income depending on the  operating
  performance of  the underlying property.   For PIMIs,  payment of Additional
  Loan base  interest, after escrows and  reserves are  exhausted, will depend
  primarily on the operating performance of the underlying properties. 

      The  Lincoln Green PIM  and the Timber  Ridge PIMI have  had very strong
  operating  performances  and in  1995 provided  the  Trust with  significant
  participation income, which should continue.   In 1996, the Trust  collected
  participation  income interest  of  $130,000  from  the Lincoln  Green  PIM,
  $160,000 from  the Timber Ridge PIMI  and $13,000  from Riverview Apartments
  PIM.   The Trust  and the  borrower of  the  Timber Ridge  PIMI disagree  on
  whether  the  borrower   owes  the  Trust  additional  participation  income
  interest and are  trying to resolve this issue.  The Trust believes there is
  additional participation income interest  owed and will  aggressively pursue
  collection of these amounts.  

      Lifestyles Apartments  operating performance continues to be impeded  by
  competition from new  apartment complexes and affordable single-family homes
  in the  area that  limit its  ability to  raise rents.   Overall, operations
  have remained stable, but  are not expected to improve significantly.  As  a
  result the  borrower of the Lifestyles  Apartments PIMI  requested some form
  of  debt  service relief.    During the  third quarter  the Advisor  and the
  borrower finalized an  agreement that includes a  1% per annum reduction  in
  the interest  paid monthly  on the insured  mortgage for a  24-month period.
  The  agreement also  specifies that  Additional Loan base  interest payments
  will be  based on surplus  cash and extends the  prepayment lockout date  by
  five  years.   In addition, the  borrower has  contributed $150,000  to fund
  current operating  deficits of the  property and has  agreed to fund  future
  operating deficits  of the property up to  a maximum of  $50,000 per year if
  deemed necessary by GIT. 

      During  the second quarter the borrower of the Windward Lakes Apartments
  PIMI  approached the Trust to obtain  some form of debt service relief.  The
  Advisor  is discussing  possible arrangements  with the borrower  and should
  conclude  these  discussions   possibly  in  the   fourth  quarter.    These
  discussions  will also  determine the status  of the  unpaid Additional Loan
  base interest payment due September 1.

      The borrower  of the Canyon Ridge  Apartments PIM was delinquent  on its
<PAGE>

  debt  service payments  and the servicer  and the  Federal National Mortgage
  Association ( FNMA )  intended to foreclose on the property.   Prior to this
  foreclosure the Trust received a  prepayment from FNMA, and subsequently the
  borrower  filed for bankruptcy.  The Trust intends to reinvest the principal
  balance received of approximately $8.9  million in a new mortgage investment
  and is  currently looking  at investment  opportunities.   In addition,  the
  Trust intends to pursue collection  of all participation interest income due
  from the borrower  through a claim with  the bankruptcy court.  Whether  the
  Trust  collects  any  participation  income  interest  will  depend  on  the
  ultimate outcome of these proceedings.  

      For the  first  five years  of  the PIMs  and  PIMIs the  borrowers  are
  prohibited from prepaying.   For the  second five years,  the borrowers  can
  prepay  the  loans  and  pay  any  outstanding  Shared  Income  and  Minimum
  Additional Interest  plus the greater of  a prepayment penalty or the Shared
  Appreciation 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  of  calling  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.

           Distributable Cash  Flow is an appropriate  supplemental measure of
           operating  performance, however, it  should not be  considered as a
           substitute for net  income as an indicator of operating performance
           or cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

  (c)      Shareholders  average per  Share return of  capital as  of November
           1996  is $2.38 [$8.75 - $6.37].   Return of capital represents that
           portion  of the  dividends which  is not  funded from  DCF such  as
           principal collections received from MBS and PIMs.


  Assessment of Credit Risk


  The Trust's investments in  mortgages are guaranteed or  insured by the
  Federal National
  Mortgage Association  ("FNMA"), the  Federal Home Loan  Mortgage Corporation
  ("FHLMC"),
  the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and the Department of
  Housing and
  Urban Development ("HUD")  and therefore the certainty of their cash flows
  and the risk
  of  material loss  of the  amounts invested  depends on  the  creditworthiness
 of  these
  entities.
<TABLE>
      FNMA  is a  federally  chartered private  corporation that  guarantees obligations
  originated  under  its programs.   FHLMC  is  a federally  chartered corporation  that
  guarantees  obligations originated  under  its  programs and  is  wholly-owned by  the
  twelve Federal  Home Loan  Banks.  These  obligations are  not guaranteed by  the U.S.
  Government or the Federal  Home Loan Bank Board.   GNMA guarantees the full and timely
  payment of  principal and basic interest on the securities it issues, which represents
  interest in pooled mortgages  insured by HUD.  Obligations  insured by HUD,  an agency
  of  the  U.S.  Government,  are backed  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 regula-
  tions, real  estate zoning laws,  or tax laws; and other  circumstances over which the
  Trust may have little or no control.

</TABLE>


  The Trust's net income for the three and  nine months ended September  30,
  1996 decreased  by approximately $394,000  and $499,000, respectively,  as
  compared to the corresponding periods in  1995 due primarily to  decreases
  in base  interest on  PIMs and  Insured Mortgages  and interest  income on
  MBS.    Base  interest  on  PIMs   and  Insured  Mortgages  decreased   by
  approximately  $318,000 and  $577,000, respectively,  as compared  to  the
  three  and nine  months ended  September  30, 1996  due primarily  to  the
  Canyon  Ridge  Apartments PIM  prepayment.    Base  interest  on PIMs  and
  Insured  Mortgages  also  declined  as  a  result  of  the  interest  rate
  reductions given on the Insured Mortgages  of the Lifestyles and  Mountain
  View Apartments PIMIs.   Interest income on  MBS will continue  to decline
  as principal  collections  reduce  the  outstanding  balance  of  the  MBS
  portfolio.    Expenses  decreased  in  the  three  and  nine  months ended
  September 30,  1996 as compared to the same periods of 1995 due in part to
  lower asset management  fees and amortization  expenses resulting from the
  Canyon Ridge Apartments PIM prepayment.   The Trust also experienced lower
  expense  reimbursements  to  affiliates  and  general  and  administrative
  expenses during  the three  and nine  months ended September  30, 1996  as
  compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.
