Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those identified herein. ITEM 1. BUSINESS Krupp Government Income Trust (the "Trust") was formed on November 1, 1989 by filing a Declaration of Trust in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Trust is authorized to sell and issue not more than 17,510,000 shares of beneficial interest ("the Shares"). The Trust raised approximately $300 million through a public offering of Shares of beneficial interest and used the proceeds available for investment primarily to acquire participating insured mortgages ("PIMs"), participating insured mortgage investments ("PIMIs"), and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"). The Trust considers itself to be engaged in only one industry segment, investment in mortgages. The Trust has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ( REIT ) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Trust shall terminate on December 31, 2029, unless earlier terminated by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon. The Trust's investments in PIMs on multi-family residential properties consist of 1) a MBS or an insured mortgage loan (collectively, the "insured mortgage") guaranteed or insured as to principal and basic interest and 2) a participating mortgage. The insured mortgages were issued or originated under or in connection with the housing programs of the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), or the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") under the authority of the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). PIMs provide the Trust with monthly payments of principal and basic interest and may also provide for Trust participation in the current revenue stream and in residual value, if any, from a sale or other realization of the underlying property. The borrower conveys these rights to the Trust through a subordinated promissory note and mortgage. The participation features are neither insured nor guaranteed. The PIMIs consist of 1) an insured mortgage issued by GNMA or originated under the lending program of the FHA, 2) an additional loan ("Additional Loan") to the borrower or owners of the borrower in excess of mortgage amounts insured under GNMA or FHA programs that increases the Trust's total financing with respect to that property and its participation interests and 3) a participating mortgage. Additional Loans associated with an insured mortgage issued or originated in connection with HUD insured programs cannot, under government regulations, be collateralized by a mortgage on the underlying property. These Additional Loans are typically collateralized by a security interest satisfactory to Berkshire Mortgage Advisors Limited Partnership ("the Advisor"). The Additional Loans are neither insured nor guaranteed. In addition, the participation features related to the participating mortgage are neither insured nor guaranteed. Additional Loans provide the Trust with semi- annual interest payments and may provide additional interest in the future while the participating mortgage provides for Trust participation in the net income and residual value, if any, of the underlying property. 3 The Trust also acquired MBS collateralized by single-family mortgage loans issued or originated by GNMA, FNMA, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") or FHA. FNMA and FHLMC guarantee the principal and asic interest of the FNMA and FHLMC MBS, respectively. GNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on its MBS, and HUD insures the pooled mortgage loans underlying the GNMA MBS and FHA mortgage loans. Prior to December 14, 1997 the Trust could reinvest or commit for reinvestment principal proceeds or other realization of the mortgages in new mortgages. However, the Trust will distribute any and all proceeds from prepayments or other, realizations of mortgage assets to investors either through quarterly dividends or possibly special dividends. Although the Trust will terminate no later than December 31, 2029, the value of the PIMs and PIMIs may be realized by the Trust through repayment or sale as early as ten years from the dates of the closings of the permanent loans, and the Trust may realize the value of all of its other investments within that time frame thereby resulting in a dissolution of the Trust significantly prior to December 31, 2029. The Trust's investments are not expected to be subject to seasonal fluctuations, although net income may vary somewhat from quarter to quarterbased upon the participation features of its investments. The requirements for compliance with federal, state and local regulations to date have not adversely affected the Trust's operations, and the Trust anticipates no adverse effect in the future. To qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes, the Trust made a valid election to be so treated and must continue to satisfy a range of complex requirements including criteria related to its ownership structure, the nature of its assets, the sources of its income and the amount of its dividends to shareholders. The Trust intends to qualify as a REIT in each year of operation, however, certain factors may have an adverse effect on the Trust's REIT status. If for any taxable year, the Trustees and the Advisor determine that any of the asset, income, or distribution tests are not likely to be satisfied, the Trust may be required to borrow money, dispose of mortgages or take other action to avoid loss of REIT status. Additionally, if the Trust does not qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax as if it were a corporation and the shareholders will be taxed as shareholders of a corporation. If the Trust were taxed as a corporation, the payment of such tax by the Trust would substantially reduce the funds available for dividends to shareholders or for reinvestment. To the extent that dividends had been made in anticipation of the Trust's qualification as a REIT, the Trust might be required to borrow additional funds or to liquidate certain of its investments in order to pay the applicable tax. Moreover, should the Trust's election to be taxed as a REIT be terminated or voluntarily revoked, the Trust may not be able to elect to be treated as a REIT for the following five-year period. As of December 31, 1997, there were no personnel directly employed by the Trust. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES None. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 4 There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Trust is a party or to which any of its investments are subject to. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS There currently is no established public trading market for the Shares. The number of investors holding Shares as of December 31, 1997 is approximately 13,200. The Trust has and intends to continue declaring and paying dividends on a quarterly basis. The Trustees established a dividend rate per Share per quarter of $.325 for 1997 and 1996. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following table sets forth selected financial information regarding the Trust's financial position and operating results. This information should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, which are included in Item 7 and Item 8 (Appendix A) of this report, respectively. (Amounts in thousands, except for per Share amounts) 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 Total revenues $ 17,618 $ 16,358 $ 17,200 $ 16,846 $ 18,046 Net income $ 12,899 $ 12,481 $ 13,022 $ 12,599 $ 13,869 Net income per Share $ .86 $ .83 $ .87 $ .84 $ .92 Weighted average Shares outstanding 15,053 15,053 15,053 15,053 15,053 Total assets at December 31 $221,779 $241,634 $247,620 $251,333 $256,565 Average dividends per Share $ 2.22 $ 1.30 $ 1.30 $ 1.30 $ 1.70 page ITEM 7. 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 within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those identified herein. Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 1997, the Trust has significant liquidity consisting of cash and cash equivalents, of approximately $10 million as well as the cash inflows provided by PIMs, PIMIs, MBS, cash and cash equivalents. 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 are dividends paid to investors which currently approximate $19.6 million per year ($4.9 million per quarter). For 1997, the Trust declared an annual dividend of $1.30 per share, paid in quarterly installments of $.325 per share and a one time special dividend of $.92 per share. 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 and prepayments 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 will result in periodic adjustments to the dividends paid to the investors. 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 portionof the appreciation realized upon the sale or refinancing of the underlying properties. The Trust's participation interests and the 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 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 will depend primarily on whether the underlying property can generate sufficient operating cash flow. As of December 31, 1997, Mountain View and Red Run have sufficient escrows to make the required Additional Loan base interest payments in 1998 if necessary. Management is closely monitoring the operating performances of the remaining properties. Overall, the Trust's ability to meet its objectives will depend primarily on the operating performance of the properties underlying the PIMs and PIMIs. Many of the properties had stable operating results during 1997. High occupancy rates were maintained and rental rate increases were 6 achieved at more than half the properties due to stable or improving markets or the unique character of the specific property. As a result of strong operating performances during 1997, the Advisor expects that two properties will generate sufficient operating cash flow to pay participation interest to the Trust during 1998: Lincoln Green and The Seasons. During 1997, the Trust received participation interest based on 1996 operating results from three properties. Two properties with PIM s held by the Trust paid participation interest: Lincoln Green paid $102,233 and Riverview paid $4,466. One property with a PIMI held by the Trust paid participation interest beyond the base interest requirement on the additional loan: The Seasons paid $32,622. Most of the other properties underlying the PIMs and PIMIs generate sufficient operating revenues to adequately maintain the assetsand pay principal and interest on the insured first mortgage and, in the case of the PIMIs, the base interest on the Additional Loan. However, the operating results of four of the construction properties with PIMIs have been inadequate to fully cover debt service requirements. Red Run experienced a slow initial lease-up and has relied on reserve funds to pay the base interest on its Additional Loan. Lifestyles Apartments, Windward Lakes Apartments and Coconut Palm Apartments all have been affected by strong competition from newly built apartment communities and affordable single-family homes in markets where the ability to raise rents is limited. Lifestyles operating performance began deteriorating in early 1996. The borrower of the Lifestyles PIMI requested debt service relief. The Advisor and the borrower finalized a workout agreement that included a 1% per annum reduction in the interest paid monthly on the insured first mortgage for a 24-month period which ended in December 1997. The agreement also specified that the Additional Loan base interest payments will be based on surplus cash and extended the prepayment lockout date by five years. The borrower contributed $150,000 to fund operating deficits of the property and agreed to fund future operating deficits of the property up to a maximum of $50,000 per year if deemed necessary by the Advisor, which has occurred. In addition to the workout s financial attributes, the Advisor also required a change in the property s on-site management. Since the new company assumed responsibility for day-to-day operations, the property s occupancy has improved and more closely reflects typical market conditions. However, the market is still absorbing new product, and many competing properties offer concessions as rental incentives. The Advisor expects that additional debt service relief may be necessary until the rental market is less volatile. Windward Lakes operating performance also deteriorated during 1996 when the property was the scene of a number of burglary incidents which affected occupancy. The drop in occupancy exacerbated the operating deficits the property was already experiencing, leading the borrower to seek debt service relief from the Trust. During the first quarter of 1997, the Advisor agreed to a workout that includes a reduction in the interest paid on the insured mortgage of 2% per annum fora 12 month period and then 1% per annum for a 36 month period. The agreement also specifies the Additional Loan base interest payments will be based on surplus cash. In addition, the borrower contributed $133,000 of new equity. Since the workout was finalized, Windward Lakes occupancy has fluctuated with increasing market competitiveness fueled by the building boom in south Florida. Occupancy at Coconut Palm Apartments, located in the same regional market as Windward Lakes, also has been adversely affected by highly competitive market conditions. Operating deficits and base interest payments have been funded with reserves established with a portion of the Additional Loan proceeds. However, the reserves have been drawn down and will be inadequate to cover 1998 requirements. The borrower is attempting to secure additional equity to bring into the deal, and the Advisor expects to negotiate loan restructure that will provide some interim debt service relief to improve the property s economic outlook 7 until the market stabilizes. Management will continue to closely monitor the operations of all of these properties. Whether the operating performance at any of the properties mentioned above improves enough to provide sufficient cash flow to pay Additional Loan interest will depend on factors that the Trust has little or no control over. Should the properties be unable to generate sufficientcash flow to pay their Additional Loan base interest, it would reduce the Trust's distributable cash flow and could affect the value of the Additional Loan collateral. During the first quarter of 1997, the Trust received a prepayment of the Timber Ridge Apartments PIMI. The Trust received $1,540,000 to repay the additional loan, $1,246,159 representing additional interest which includes prepayment penalties and $5,630,985 to repay the outstanding first mortgage principal balance. During the third quarter, the Trust made a special dividend of $.92 per share to its investors. This special dividends consisted of the 1996 Canyon Ridge PIM prepayment and the 1997 Timber Ridge prepayment proceeds, net of the reinvestment in a $3,400,000 face value insured multifamily mortgage. For the first five years of the PIMs and PIMIs the borrowers areprohibited from repaying. For the second five years, the borrower can repay the loans incurring a prepayment penalty for PIMs or paying all amounts due under the PIMIs and satisfying the required preferred return. 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 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 FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA and 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. 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 owner's operating skills, ability to maintain occupancy levels, control operating expenses, maintain the properties and obtain adequate insurance coverage; adverse changes in general economic conditions, adverse local 8 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. Operations The following discussion relates to the operations of the Trust during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. Dollars are stated in thousands, except for per Share amounts. Year Ended December 31, 1997 1996 1995 Per Per Per Amount Share Amount Share Amount Share Interest income on PIMs and PIMIs: Base Interest $12,181 $ .81 $12,808 $ .86 $13,690 $ .91 Additional loan interest 794 .05 - - - - Participation income 1,385 .09 359 .02 372 .02 Interest income on MBS 2,199 .15 2,306 .15 2,608 .17 Interest income on cash and cash equivalents 1,059 .07 886 .06 531 .04 Trust expenses (2,313) (.15) (2,264) (.15) (2,496) (.17) Amortization of prepaid fees, expenses and organization costs (2,406) (.16) (1,614) (.11) (1,683) (.10) Net income $12,899 $ .86 $12,481 $ .83 $13,022 $ .87 Weighted average Shares outstanding 15,053,135 15,053,135 15,053,135 The Trust s net income for 1997 increased by approximately $418,000 when compared to 1996. This increase resulted from higher participation income, additional loan interest income and other interest income of approximately $1,026,000 , $793,000 and $173,000, respectively, net of lower base interest income on PIMs and interest income on MBS of approximately $627,000 and 107,000, respectively and increases in amortization expense and Trust expenses of $791,000 and $49,000, respectively. The increase in participation income and additional loan interest income are primarily related to the Timber Ridge PIMI. The Trust received $1,246,000 of participation interest upon early repayment of the PIMI. The Trust also received participation interest from the Lincoln Green PIM, The Seasons PIMI and the Riverview PIM of $102,000, $33,000 and $4,000, respectively. Interest income on cash and cash equivalents increased as a result of short-term investments made with the proceeds from the Canyon Ridge and Timber Ridge prepayments prior to the special distribution made in the third quarter. Base interest decreased as a result of the repayment of the Timber Ridge PIMI during the first quarter of 1997, the repayment of the Canyon Ridge PIM during the second quarter of 1996 and the interest rate reduction given to Windward Lakes Apartments. Interest income on MBS will continue to decline as principal collections reduce the outstanding balance of the MBS portfolio. Amortization expenses increased for 1997 as compared to 1996 due primarily to the Trust fully amortizing the prepaid acquisition and servicing fees 9 associated with Canyon Ridge Apartments PIM and Timber Ridge Apartments PIMI. The Trust's net income for 1996 decreased by approximately $541,000 as compared to 1995 due primarily to decreases in interest income on PIMs and insured mortgages and interest income on MBS of approximately $882,000 and $302,000, respectively, which were partially offset by an increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents of approximately $355,000 and a decrease in Trust expenses of approximately $232,000. The decrease in base interest income on PIMs and insured mortgages for 1996 as compared to 1995 was due primarily to the prepayment of the Canyon Ridge PIM which caused a decline in interest income of $502,000 and interest rate reductions of $211,000 for the Mountain View and Lifestyles Apartments PIMs. Interest income on MBS will continue to decline as principal collections reduce the outstanding balance of the MBS portfolio. Interest income on cash and cash equivalents increased as a result of short-term investments made with the proceeds from the Canyon Ridge prepayment. Expenses decreased for 1996 as compared to 1995 due primarily to lower asset management fees, expense reimbursements to affiliates and general and administrative expenses. ITEM 8.

Organization Krupp Government Income Trust (the "Trust") was formed on November 1, 1989 by filing a Declaration of Trust in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Trust is authorized to sell and issue not more than 17,510,000 shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares"). Berkshire Mortgage Advisors Limited Partnership ("BMALP")(the Advisor ), acquired 10,000 of such Shares for $200,000 and 14,999,999 Shares were sold for $299,480,263 net of purchase volume discounts of $519,717 under a public offering which commenced on April 19, 1990 and ended on July 15, 1991. Under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRP"), 43,136 Shares were sold for $819,356 during its public offering. The Trust shall terminate on December 31, 2029, unless earlier terminated by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon. B. Significant Accounting Policies The Trust uses the following accounting policies for financial reporting purposes: MBS The Trust, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ( FAS 115"), classifies its MBS portfolio as available-for-sale. As such the Trust carries its MBS at fair market value and reflects any unrealized gains (losses) as a separate component of Shareholders' Equity. The Trust amortizes purchase premiums or discounts over the life of the underlying mortgages using the effective interest method. PIMs and PIMIs The Trust accounts for its MBS portion of a PIM or PIMI investments in accordance with FAS 115 under the classification of held to maturity. The Trust carries those MBS at amortized cost. The Federal Housing Administration Participating Insured Mortgages and all Additional Loans are carried at amortized cost unless the Advisor of the Trust believes there is a impairment in value, in which case a valuation allowance is established in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for impairment of a Loan, and Financial Accounting Standard No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. Base interest is recognized based on the stated rate of the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") insured mortgage loan (less the servicer's fee) or the coupon rate of the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") or Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") MBS. The Trust recognizes interest related to the participation features as earned and when it deems these amounts are collectible. The Trust defers the recognition of Additional Loan interest payments as income to the extent these interest payments are from escrows established with the proceeds of the Additional Loan. When the properties underlying the PIMIs generate sufficient cash flow to make the required Additional Loan interest payments with funds other than from escrows, the Trust may recognize income as earned and may commence amortizing deferred interest amounts into income over the remaining estimated term of the Additional Loan. Continued KRUPP GOVERNMENT INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued B. Significant Accounting Policies, Continued PIMs and PIMIs, Continued The Trust also fully reserves the portion of any Additional Loan base interest payment satisfied through the issuance of an operating loan and any associated interest due onsuch operating loan. The Trust will recognize the income related to the operating loan when the borrower repays amounts due under the operating loan. Cash Equivalents The Trust includes all short-term investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition in cash and cash equivalents. The Trustinvests its cash primarily in commercial paper and money market funds with a commercial bank and has not experienced any loss to date on its invested cash. Prepaid Fees and Expenses Prepaid fees and expenses represent prepaid acquisition fees and expenses and prepaid participation servicing feespaid for the acquisition and servicing of PIMs and PIMIs. The Trust amortizes prepaid acquisition fees and expenses using a method that approximates the effective interest method over a period of ten to twelve years, which represents the actual maturity or anticipated call payoff of the underlying mortgage. The Trust amortizes prepaid participation servicing fees using a method that approximates the effective interest method over a ten year period beginning at final endorsement of the loan if a HUD-insured mortgage loan and at closing if a FNMA MBS. Income Taxes The Trust has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and believes it 13 will continue to meet all such qualifications. Accordingly, the Trust will not be subject to federal income taxes on amounts distributed to shareholders provided it distributes annually at least 95% of its REIT taxable income and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements. Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the period. Significant estimates include the net carrying value of Additional Loans and the unrealized gain on MBS investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. C. PIMIs The Trust has investments in eight PIMIs that in most cases financed the construction and in all cases provide the permanent financing of multi-family housing. One component of a PIMI is either a securitized HUD-insured first mortgage loan issued and guaranteed by GNMA or a sole participation interest in a first mortgage loan originated under the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") lending program and insured by HUD Continued KRUPP GOVERNMENT INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued C. PIMIs, Continued (collectively the "insured mortgages"). The FHA first mortgage or the first mortgage underlying the GNMA security provides the borrower (generally a limited partnership) with a below market interest rate loan in exchange for providing the Trust with participation in a percentage of the cash generated from property operations and in a percentage of any appreciation of the underlying property to a preferred return, then a percentage of any appreciation thereafter. The borrower conveys these rights to the Trust through a subordinated promissory note and mortgage. In addition, the Trust made an Additional Loan to the owners of the borrower to provide additional funds for the construction and permanent financing of the property. The owners generally collateralize the Additional Loan through a pledge and security agreement that pledges their ownership interests in the borrower, and their share of any distributions made from surplus cash generated by the property and the proceeds realized upon the refinancing of the property, sale of the property or sale of the partnership interests.Amounts payable under the Additional Loan are neither guaranteed nor insured. The Trust receives monthly principal and interest payments on the insured mortgage and is entitled to receive participation interest under the subordinated promissory note and mortgage, and semi-annual interest payments ("Base Interest") and preferred interest under the Additional Loan. The Trust receives principal and interest payments on the insured mortgages currently, because these payments are insured or guaranteed; however, there are limitations to the amount and obligation to pay participation interest and Additional Loan interest. The subordinated promissory note and mortgage entitles the Trust to receive (i) Participating Income Interest generally equal to 50% of (a) all distributable Surplus Cash (as defined in the regulatory agreement of the HUD- insured first mortgage) generated by the property (b) any unrestricted cash generated from property operations and (c) to the extent available unexpended reserves and escrows, and (ii) Participating Appreciation Interest generally equal to 50% of the net proceeds or value of the property upon the sale, refinancing, maturity or accelerated maturity, or permitted prepayment of all amounts due under the insured mortgage and Additional Loan less the Outstanding Indebtedness, as defined. Amounts received by the Trust pursuant to the subordinated promissory note as Participating Income Interest reduce amounts payable as Preferred Interest and may reduce amounts payable as Base Interest under the Additional Loan. The insured mortgage and subordinated promissory note generally have maturities of 30 to 40 years, however, under the subordinated promissory note the Trust can generally accelerate these maturity dates at any time after the ninth or tenth anniversary of final endorsement for coinsurance and insurance, but in certain cases for construction loans after the eleventh or twelfth anniversary of initial endorsement (commencement of construction) for coinsurance and insurance, upon giving twelve months written notice for the payment of all accrued participation interest through the accelerated maturity date. The Trust can accelerate the maturity date for payment of amounts due under the subordinated promissory note and the insured mortgage providing the contract of coinsurance with the Secretary of HUD on the insured mortgage is canceled prior to the accelerated maturity date. Continued KRUPP GOVERNMENT INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 15 C. PIMIs, Continued Additional Loan Base Interest is payable from the following sources: (i) any Surplus Cash received pursuant to the subordinated promissory note as Participating Income Interest, (ii) amounts conveyed to the Trust by the owners of the borrowing entity representing distributions of Surplus Cash and (iii) amounts in reserve accounts established with the Additional Loan proceeds, if available, and any interest earned on these amounts. If these sources are not sufficient to make Base Interest payments the owners of the borrowing entity must notify the Trust of the amount of the shortfall and at its option the Trust could require a capital call from the owners of the borrowing entity. The capital call would be equal to 50% of the Base Interest shortfall and the Trust in certain situations could convert the remaining 50% into an operating loan or would forego 50% of the Base Interest shortfall. In addition to the Base Interest payments, the Additional Loan requires the payment of Preferred Interest representing a cumulative, non-compounded preferred return from the date of final endorsement to the date of calculation at interest rates ranging from 9.5% to 11% per annum on the original outstanding balance of the insured mortgage plus the Additional Loan and any other funds advanced by the Trust to the borrowing entity or the owners of the borrowing entity until the insured mortgage, Additional Loan and other funds (reduced by principal collections) have been paid in full less: (i) interest payments paid to the Trust under the insured mortgage, (ii) Participating Income Interest and (iii) Base Interest payments made under the Additional Loan including amounts foregone by the Trust. The insured mortgage and subordinated promissory note generally cannot be prepaid for a term of five years from the construction completion date or final endorsement and thereafter may be prepaid in whole without penalty provided all participation interest and amounts under the insured mortgage are paid. Any prepayment requires not less than ninety nor more than 180 days prior written notice. The Additional Loan generally may not be prepaid before the fifth anniversary of the Agreement or the construction completion date and thereafter may be prepaid in full without penalty provided Preferred Interest and any amounts due under the insured mortgage and subordinated promissory note are paid in full. On February 6, 1997, the Trust, with the approval of the independent Trustees, agreed to a workout with the borrower of the Windward Lakes Apartments PIMI, an affiliate of the Advisor of the Trust. The terms are as follows: a) interest rate relief for 1997 of 2% per annum and 1% per annum for 1998 through 2000 on the insured mortgage: b) the borrower, McNab KC-3 L.P. ( McNab ), contributed $133,036 16 of new equity into the property; c) the borrower will cap the annual management fee paid to an affiliate at 3% ofrevenues; d) the Trust s participation in current operations shall be 50% of Surplus Cash as determined under HUD guidelines; e) Base Interest on the Additional Loan is payable from the Trust s share of Surplus Cash and unpaid amounts accrue at 7.5% per annum; and f) the Trust s participation in a sale or refinancing, after repayment Continued KRUPP GOVERNMENT INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued C. PIMIs, Continued of the first mortgage and additional loans, interest rate relief, accrued Base Interest and McNab s new equity, shall be 50% of any remaining proceeds up to an amount which would result in the Trust having received a cumulative, noncompounded preferred return of 10% on its investment in the first mortgage and additional loans; any remaining proceeds shall be distributed to McNab. During the first quarter the Trust received proceeds from the prepayment of The Timber Ridge Apartments PIMI as follows: $1,540,000 to payoff the Additional Loan; $1,246,159 representing additional interest which includes prepayment penalties; $5,630,985 to payoff the outstanding first mortgage principal balance. During the third quarter, the Trust made a special dividend of $.92 per share to it s investors. This special dividends consisted of the 1996 Canyon Ridge PIM prepayment and the 1997 Timber Ridge prepayment proceeds, net of the reinvestment in a $3,400,000 face value insured multifamily mortgage. 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 Rate 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 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 have been foregone by the Trust.

PIMs The Trust has investments in five PIMs at December 31, 1997. The Trust's PIMs consist of a GNMA or FNMA MBS representing the securitized first mortgage loan on the underlying property or a sole participation interest in a first mortgage loan originated under the FHA lending program on the underlying property (collectively the "insured mortgages"), and participation interests in the revenue stream and appreciation of the underlying property above specified base levels. The borrower conveys these participation features to the Trust generally through a subordinated promissory note and mortgage (the "Agreement"). The Trust receives guaranteed monthly payments of principal and interest on the GNMA and FNMA MBS and HUD insures the mortgage loan underlying the GNMA MBS and the FHA mortgage loan. The borrower usually cannot prepay the first mortgage loan during the first five years and may prepay the first mortgage loan thereafter subject to a 9% prepayment penalty in years six through nine, a 1% prepayment penalty in year ten and no prepayment penalty thereafter. The Trust may receive interest related to its participation interests in the underlying property, however, these amounts are neither insured nor guaranteed. Generally, the participation features consist of the following: (i) "Minimum Additional Interest" at rates ranging from .5% to .75% per annum calculated on the unpaid principal balance of the first mortgage on the underlying property, (ii) "Shared Income Interest" ranging from 25% to 30% of the monthly gross rental income generated by the underlying property in excess of a specified base, but only to the extent that it exceeds the amount of Minimum Additional Interest received during such month, and (iii) "Shared Appreciation Interest" ranging from 25% to 30% of any increase in value of the underlying property in excess of a specified base. Payment of participation interest from the operations of the property is limited to 50% of net revenue or surplus cash as defined by FNMA or HUD, respectively. The aggregate amount of Minimum Additional Interest, Shared Income Interest and Shared Appreciation Interest payable by the underlying borrower on the maturity date generally can not exceed 50% of any increase in value of the property. However, generally the net proceeds from a sale or refinancing will be available to satisfy any accrued but unpaid shared income or minimum additional interest. Shared Appreciation Interest is payable when one of the following occurs: (1) the sale of the underlying property to an unrelated third party on a date which is later than five years from the date of the Agreement, (2) the maturity date or accelerated maturity date of the Agreement, or (3) prepayment of amounts due under the Agreement and the insured mortgage. 25 Under the Agreement, the Trust, upon giving twelve months written notice, can accelerate the maturity date of the Agreement to a date not earlier D. PIMs, continued than ten years from the date of the Agreement for (a) the payment of all participation interest due under the Agreement as of the accelerated maturity date, or (b) the payment of all participation interest due under the Agreement plus all amounts due on the first mortgage note on the property. 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 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 subsequently collected $200,000 of participation interest income through a claim with the bankruptcy court. At December 31, 1997 and 1996 there are no insured mortgage loans within the Trust s portfolio that are delinquent of principal or interest.

Shareholders' Equity Under the Declaration of Trust and commencing with the initial closing of the public offering of shares, the Trust has declared and paid dividends on a quarterly basis. During the period in which the Trust qualifies as a REIT, the Trust has and will pay quarterly dividends aggregating at least 95% of taxable income on an annual basis to be allocated to the shareholders in proportion to their respective number of shares. In order for the Trust to maintain its REIT status with respect to the requirements of Share ownership, the Declaration of Trust prohibits any investor from owning, directly or indirectly, more than 9.8% of the outstanding Shares and empowers the Trustees to refuse to permit any transfer of Shares which, in their opinion, would jeopardize the status of the Trust as a REIT. G. Related Party Transactions Under the terms of the Advisory Service Agreement, the Advisor receives an Asset Management Fee equal to .75% per annum of the value of the Trust's actual and committed invested assets payable quarterly. The Trust also reimburses affiliates of the Advisor for certain costs incurred in connection with maintaining the books and records of the Trust and the preparation and mailing of financial reports, tax information and other communications to investors. During the three years ended December 31, 1997, the Trust received interest collections on Additional Loans with affiliates of the Advisor of the Trust of $400,838, $234,593 and $300,825 respectively.

The basis of the Trust s liabilities for financial reporting purposes exceeded its tax basis by approximately $7,872,000 and $7,325,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. J. Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments The Trust uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. MBS The Trust estimates the fair value of MBS based on quoted market prices. PIMs and PIMIs There is no active trading market for these investments, so management estimates the fair value of the PIMs and the insured mortgage portion of the PIMIs using quoted market prices of MBS having the same stated coupon rate as the insured mortgages and Additional Loans based on the estimated fair value of the underlying properties. Management does not include any participation income in the Trust s estimated fair values, because Management does not believe it can predict the time of realization of the feature with any certainty. Based on the estimated fair value determined J. Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments, continued using these methods and assumptions, the Trust's investments in PIMs and PIMIs had gross unrealized losses and gains of approximately $6,511,000 and $381,000, respectively, at December 31, 1997 and gross unrealized losses and gains of approximately $5,668,000 and $889,000, respectively, at December 31, 1996.
