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

The results of  operations  for the three and six months ended June 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.

2.    PIMs and PIMIs

At June 30, 2000,  the Trust's PIMs and PIMIs have a fair value of  $113,937,558
and gross unrealized gains and losses of $134,025 and $1,608,446,  respectively.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At  June  30,  2000  the  Trust  had  liquidity  consisting  of  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  of approximately $5.2 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  $2.6  million,  and special  distributions.
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 Advisor  periodically  reviews the  dividend  rate to  determine  whether an
adjustment  is  necessary  based on  projected  future cash  flows.  The current
dividend  rate is $.17 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.

The Trust's  PIMIs funded the  construction  or  significant  rehabilitation  of
multifamily  housing,  which  requires  time to  achieve  stabilized  operations
following the  completion  of the work.  With this in mind,  the Trust  required
those  borrowers to escrow a portion of the Additional Loan proceeds in reserves
so funds would be available for the PIMI  Additional  Loan  payments  during the
construction  and lease-up  periods.  As these reserves  become  depleted,  full
payment of the Additional Loan interest becomes  primarily  dependent on whether
the underlying  property generates  sufficient  operating cash flow to make such
payments.

In addition to providing  guaranteed or insured  monthly  principal and interest
payments,  the Trust's investments in 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 an increase in the
value realized upon the sale or refinance of the underlying properties. However,
these payments are neither guaranteed nor insured and depend upon the successful
operations of the underlying properties.

The Trust received the first installment of Additional Loan interest from two of
its PIMI  investments,  Red Run and The Seasons during the six months ended June
30, 2000. The Trust's three other PIMI  investments,  Lifestyles,  Mountain View
and Windward Lakes operate under workout  agreements with the Trust that require
Additional  Loan  interest  payments only if Surplus Cash, as defined by HUD, is
generated through property operations.  None of these three properties generated
Surplus Cash as of December 31,  1999;  consequently,  the Trust did not receive
any Additional Loan interest during the first half of 2000.

The Trust received  participation  interest from three of its investments during
the first half of 2000. Waterford Townhomes, one of the Trust's PIM investments,
paid $42,731 of participation interest based on 1998 operating results. Red Run,
one of the Trust's  PIMI  investments,  paid $33,630 of  participation  interest
based  on  1999  operating   results.   The  Trust  also  received   $68,762  of
participation  interest based on the second half of 1999  operating  results for
The  Seasons.  The Trust  expects to  collect  participation  interest  based on
successful 1999 operating results from the Lincoln Green and Waterford Townhomes
PIM investments later during 2000. Three other  properties,  Rivergreens I, Mill
Pond I and Riverview,  are occupied in the low 90% range and generate sufficient
revenue to meet all cash requirements for operations and maintenance, but do not
generate  Surplus  Cash under  HUD's  definition  for  payment of  participation
interest to the Trust.

As mentioned above,  three properties  operate under workout agreements with the
Trust.  Windward Lakes' operating results deteriorated during 1995 and 1996, and
in early 1997 the independent  Trustees  approved a workout with the borrower of
the  Windward  Lakes PIMI,  an  affiliate  of the  Advisor of the Trust.  In the
workout,  the Trust agreed to reduce the  effective  basic  interest rate on the
insured first mortgage by 2% per annum for 1997 and 1% per annum for 1998,  1999
and 2000. The borrower made an equity  contribution  of $133,036 to the property
and  agreed  to cap the  annual  management  fee paid to an  affiliate  at 3% of
revenues.  The Trust's participation in current operations is 50% of any Surplus
Cash as determined  under HUD  guidelines,  and the Additional  Loan interest is
payable out of its share of Surplus Cash.  Any unpaid  Additional  Loan interest
accrues at 7.5% per annum.  When the property is sold or  refinanced,  the Trust
will receive 50% of any net proceeds  remaining  after  repayment of the insured
mortgage,  the  Additional  Loan,  the interest rate relief,  accrued and unpaid
Additional  Loan  interest  and the  Borrower's  equity up to the point that the
Trust has received a  cumulative,  non-compounded  10%  preferred  return on its
investment in the PIMI.

Lifestyles  operating results deteriorated during 1995, and the Trust approved a
two-year  workout  that  effectively  reduced the  interest  rate on the insured
mortgage by 1%. When that  workout  ended in 1997,  the property was not able to
generate  sufficient  revenues to maintain the property and service the original
interest rate.  Consequently,  the borrower on the Lifestyles  PIMI defaulted on
its May 1, 1998 debt service  payment on the insured first  mortgage.  The Trust
agreed to a new  workout  that runs  through  2007.  Under its terms,  the Trust
agreed to reduce the effective  interest  rate on the insured first  mortgage by
1.75%  retroactively  for 1998 to clear the default,  by 1.75% for 1999,  and by
1.5% each year thereafter until the property is sold or refinanced. The borrower
made a $550,000 equity contribution,  which has been escrowed, for the exclusive
purpose of correcting  deferred  maintenance and making capital  improvements to
the property.  Any Surplus Cash that is generated by property operations will be
split evenly  between the Trust and the  borrower.  When the property is sold or
refinanced,  the first  $1,100,000 of any proceeds  remaining  after the insured
mortgage is paid off will be split 50% / 50%;  the next  $1,690,220  of proceeds
will be  split  75% to the  Trust  and 25% to the  borrower;  and any  remaining
proceeds will be split 50% / 50. The  borrower's new equity and the reduction in
the effective interest rate on the insured first mortgage will provide funds for
repairs  and  improvements  that  should help  reposition  Lifestyles  so it can
compete more  effectively for new residents and rental rates. As a result of the
factors  described  above,  the  Advisor  determined  that the  Additional  Loan
collateralized  by the Lifestyles  asset was impaired,  and the Trust recorded a
valuation allowance of $1,130,346 in the fourth quarter of 1998 and continues to
maintain that allowance.

Mountain  View is similar to  Lifestyles  with  respect  to  competitive  market
conditions.  In June 1999, the Trust approved a second workout that runs through
2004. Under its terms, the Trust agreed to reduce the effective interest rate on
the  insured  first  mortgage  by 1.25%  retroactively  for  1999 and each  year
thereafter  until  the  property  is  sold  or  refinanced,  and to  change  the
participation  terms.  The workout  eliminated  the  preferred  return  feature,
forgave $288,580 of previous accruals of Additional Loan interest related to the
first workout,  and changed the Trust's  participation in Surplus Cash generated
by the  property.  The Trust will  receive 75% of the first  $130,667 of Surplus
Cash and 50% of any remaining  Surplus Cash on an annual basis to pay Additional
Loan interest.  Unpaid  Additional  Loan interest  related to the second workout
will  accrue  and be  payable if there are  sufficient  proceeds  from a sale or
refinancing of the property.  In addition,  the borrower  repaid $153,600 of the
Additional  Loan and  funded  approximately  $54,000 to a reserve  for  property
improvements. As a result of the factors described above, the Advisor determined
that the Additional Loan  collateralized by the Mountain View asset was impaired
and has recorded a valuation  allowance of $1,032,272  and continues to maintain
that allowance.

Whether the  operating  performance  at 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.

There are  contractual  restrictions  on the  repayment  of the PIMs and  PIMIs.
During the first five years of the  investment,  borrowers are  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 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 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
would probably 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.



Results of Operations

The net  income of the Trust for the three and six months  ended  June 30,  2000
decreased by approximately  $164,000 and $442,000  respectively,  as compared to
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 due primarily to decreases in basic
interest income on PIMs and PIMIs. This decrease was primarily the result of the
payoff of the Audubon  Villas  PIMI during the third  quarter of 1999 net of the
reduction to the interest rate rebate on the Lifestyles Loan.

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.  Additionally,  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 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 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  $4.7 million of
Agency paper.

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 June 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
distribution  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.
