   (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.  In the opinion of
              the General Partners of Krupp Associates 1980-1 and Subsidiary
              (the "Partnership"), the disclosures contained in this report
              are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. 
              See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
              Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
              December 31, 1995 for additional information relevant to
              significant accounting policies followed by the Partnership.

              In the opinion of the General Partners of the Partnership, the
              accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect
              all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
              necessary to present fairly the Partnership's consolidated
              financial position as of March 31, 1996 and its results of
              operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
              1996 and 1995.  Certain prior year balances have been
              reclassified to conform with current year consolidated financial
              statement presentation.

              The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
              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.

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

   The Partnership's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its needs is
   dependent primarily upon the operating performance of Riverside Apartments
   ("Riverside").  Such ability is also dependent upon the future sale of the
   asset.  These sources of liquidity could be used by the Partnership for
   payment of expenses related to real estate operations, debt service and
   expenses.  Cash Flow and Capital Transaction Proceeds, if any, as
   calculated under Section 8.2(a) ("Cash Flow") and 8.3(a) of the
   Partnership Agreement would then be available for distribution to the
   Partners.  The Partnership has discontinued distributions due to
   insufficient operating Cash Flow.  

   The Partnership has experienced Cash Flow deficiencies for several years
   and currently has very limited liquidity.  Expenditures are being
   monitored closely and capital improvements are made on an as-needed basis. 
   To date, the General Partners have been able to arrange financing through
   borrowings, from an affiliate of the General Partners, to cover a
   substantial portion of these cash flow deficiencies.  Also, one of the
   General Partners, The Krupp Company Limited Partnership ("The Krupp
   Company"), contributed an additional $100,000 to the Partnership during
   1991.  In January 1993, The Krupp Company loaned an additional $135,000 to
   the Partnership in the form of a demand note to payoff a demand note from
   an unaffiliated bank.  In addition, the affiliate lender has been willing
   to defer interest payments on the borrowings since late 1990. 
   Furthermore, the General Partners, through annual negotiations, have
   continued to arrange for the waiver of property management fees and
   expense reimbursements payable to the management agent, also an affiliate
   of the General Partners.  

   The General Partners anticipate operating deficits to continue and cannot
   guarantee that they will be able to take actions that will cover any
   future deficits.  If the property is unable to generate funds sufficient
   to cover these deficits, the Partnership could default on its mortgage
   payments and become subject to foreclosure proceedings.  However, the
   Partnership is current on its mortgage payments.   

   In January 1996, the General Partners entered into a purchase and sale
   agreement for the sale of Riverside to an unaffiliated buyer scheduled in
   the second quarter of 1996 for the selling price of $4,500,000. Two weeks
   before the scheduled sale date, the buyer rescinded his offer. The General
   Partners continue to actively pursue other opportunities for the sale of
   the property. 

   Cash Deficit

   Shown below, as required by the Partnership Agreement, is the calculation
   of Cash Flow (Deficit) of the Partnership for the three months ended March
   31, 1996.  The General Partners provide certain of the information below
   to meet requirements of the Partnership Agreement and because they believe
   that it is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance. 
   However, Cash Flow (Deficit) should not be considered by the reader as a
   substitute to net income (loss), as an indicator of the Partnership's
   operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

                 Tax basis depreciation and amortization                     45,000
                 Principal payments on mortgage                              (4,000)
                 Expenditures for capital improvements                      (13,000)
                 Working capital reserves                                    (3,000) 

              Cash Deficit                                                 $     -0- 


   Operations

   In comparing the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the same period in
   1995, the increase in Cash Flow is attributable to improvements in net
   income of approximately $9,000, as increases in rental revenue more than
   offset the increase in expenses.  Riverside showed an 8% increase in
   rental revenue due to the commercial space being fully occupied at 100%
   during the first quarter of 1996 as compared to an average commercial
   occupancy of 85% during the first quarter of 1995. 

   Overall total expenses increased approximately 5%, with increases in
   operating and general and administrative expenses.  The increase in
   operating expense is related to an increase in utilities expense resulting
   from the unusually cold northern winter.  General and administrative
   expenses increased due to higher audit expenditures.
