  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  II  (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, 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
         primarily of  only normal  recurring  accruals) necessary  to  fairly
         present  the Trust's financial position as of September 30, 1996, its
         results of 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.

         approximately  $202,607   and  $775,673.    The   MBS  portfolio  has
         maturities ranging from 2008 to 2023.

  5.  Related Party Transactions


              During the three and  nine months ended September 30,  1996, the
              Trust earned  $147,761 and  $295,522, respectively,  of interest
              payments on Additional  Loans with an affiliate  of the Advisor,
              as compared  to $147,761 and $295,522,  respectively, during the
              three and nine months ended September 30, 1995.


  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  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 are  quarterly
  dividends paid to investors of  approximately $5.7 million.   Funds used for
  dividends come  from interest received  on the  PIMs, PIMIs,  MBS, cash  and
  cash   equivalents  net  of   operating  expenses,   and  certain  principal
  collections received on the PIMs and MBS.  The Trust funds a  portion of the
  dividends from principal collections, as  a result, the capital resources of
  the  Trust will  continually decrease.   As the  capital resources decrease,
  the total cash inflows to the Trust will also decrease which  will result in
  periodic adjustments to the quarterly dividends paid to investors.  

      In addition to  funding its  quarterly dividends paid  to investors  the
  Trust has a remaining  commitment of approximately $1.2 million on a PIM  in
  the construction phase.   The  Trust has  sufficient cash  reserves to  fund
  this commitment. 

      The  Advisor  of the  Trust periodically  reviews  the dividend  rate to
  determine whether  an adjustment to the  dividend rate is necessary based on
  projected future  cash flows.   Based  on current  projections, the  Advisor
  believes  the  Trust  can  maintain   the  current  dividend  rate  for  the
  foreseeable future.  In general, the  Advisor tries to  set a  dividend rate
  that  provides  for  level  quarterly distributions  of  cash  available for
  distribution.   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 distribution.

      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 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 of  calling 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.

                 represents that portion of dividends which is not funded from
                 DCF,  such  as   proceeds  from  the   sale  of  assets   and
                 substantially all  of the principal collections received from
                 MBS and PIMs.

  Assessment of Credit Risk

  The Trust's investments in mortgages, with  the exception of the  Additional
  Loans,  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  the
  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.   However, obligations  of FNMA
  are  not  backed  by  the U.S.  Government.  FNMA  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
  FNMA  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.  HUD, an agency
  of  the  U.S.  Government, insures  the  obligations  originated  under  its
  programs  which  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
  conventional  real estate  lending,  including:   reliance  on  the  owner's
  operating  skills  and  ability   to  maintain  occupancy   levels,  control


  operating  expenses,  maintain  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 s  net income decreased $120,000 during the third  quarter of 1996
  as  compared to  the  third quarter  of 1995  due  primarily to  a  $275,000
  decrease in  other  interest income  and  a  $151,000 decrease  in  interest
  income  on MBS.   The decline  in other interest  income resulted from lower
  cash balances  available  for  short-term investment  in 1996  versus  1995.
  Interest  income on MBS decreased and will continue  to decline as principal
  collections  reduce the outstanding principal balance of  the MBS portfolio.
  Base  interest income on PIMs  and PIMIs increased $190,000 during the three
  months ended September  30, 1996 as compared  to the corresponding period in
  1995 due  primarily to the investments in PIMs and insured mortgages made in
  the fourth quarter of  1995 and during 1996.   The Trust also  experienced a
  $67,000 increase  in participation interest income  in the  third quarter of
  1996  as compared to  the third  quarter of 1995.   Trust expenses decreased
  $61,000  during  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996  versus the
  corresponding  period  in   1995  due   primarily  to   lower  general   and
  administrative expenses  and a  decrease in  asset management  fees.   Asset
  management fees  will continue  to decline as  principal collections  reduce
  the outstanding principal balance of  the Trust s investments in mortgages. 


   

  The Trust s  net  income increased  $1,218,000  for  the nine  months  ended
  September 30,  1996 as  compared to  the corresponding  period in 1995,  due
  primarily  to the  recognition of a  $1,379,000 loss on  the sale  of MBS in
  1995.   Base interest on PIMs  and PIMIs  increased approximately $1,462,000
  during  the nine months of 1996  as compared to the same period of 1995 as a
  result  of  investments in  PIMs  and  insured mortgages  made  in  1995  of
  approximately $46 million with interest  rates ranging from 6.875% to 7.875%
  per annum.   The Trust also experienced a $270,000 increase in participation
  interest income during the  nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
  to the  nine months  ended  September 30,  1995.    Interest income  on  MBS
  decreased $1,372,000  during the  nine months  ended September  30, 1996  as
  compared to the  nine months ended September  30, 1995 due primarily to  the
  sale of approximately  $40 million of  MBS in  April 1995.   Other  interest
  income  declined  approximately  $554,000 during  the  nine  months  of 1996
  versus the same period of 1995 as  a result of lower cash balances available
  for short-term  investment.   Amortization  expense increased  as the  Trust
  began amortizing  prepaid  fees and  expenses  on  newly acquired  PIMs  and
  PIMIs.   However,  the higher amortization  expense was  partially offset by
  lower  expense reimbursements to  affiliates and  general and administrative
  expenses.
