        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, 
        1997 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, 1998, its results of
        operations for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1998 and
        1997,  and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
        and 1997.

        The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
        30, 1998 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,  1998,  the  Trust's  PIMs and  PIMIs  have a fair 
        value of  $192,001,903  and gross  unrealized  losses of $3,559,427,
        respectively.  The PIMs and PIMIs have maturities ranging from 2008 to 
        2036.  At September 30, 1998 there are no insured mortgage loans within
        the Trust's portfolio that are delinquent of principal or interest.

        On July 31, 1998 and on August 25, 1998, the Trust received the 
        prepayments of the St. Germain  Additional  Loan of $2,860,000 and the
        related FNMA MBS with a remaining  principal  balance of  $11,006,015,
        respectively.  In addition,  the Trust received Participation  Interest
        as follows: (i) Additional Loan interest payable through the date of 
        sale of $83,417,  (ii) Contingent Interest payable through the date of
        sale of $89,975,  (iii) Participating  Appreciation Interest of
        $1,874,032. On October 9, 1998, the Trust received Participating Income
        Interest  payable  through the date of sale  attributable  to 1998
        property operations of $94,258.  On September 28, 1998, the Trust made
        a special dividend of $.87 per share to its Shareholders.

        During the second quarter of 1998, the Trust completed the funding of 
        its commitment on the Fountains PIM.

        Windmill  Lakes has been  adversely  affected by a competitive  housing
        market in its South  Florida area. As a result,  since March 31, 1998 
        the borrower of the Windmill Lakes Additional Loan has been in technical
        default on its Additional Loan for not making the full required base 
        interest payments due on the Additional Loan.  The Advisor is currently
        assessing the feasibility of extending debt service relief to the
        borrower until the market stabilizes.

3. MBS

        At  September  30,  1998,  the Trust's MBS  portfolio has an amortized
        cost of  $44,058,135 and gross unrealized gains of $1,289,974.  The MBS
        portfolio has maturities ranging from 2008 to 2023.

        In June 1997,  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
        'Reporting  Comprehensive  Income' (FASB 130), was issued establishing
        standards for reporting and displaying  comprehensive  income and its 
        components  effective January 1, 1998. FASB 130  requires comprehensive
        income and its components, as recognized  under  accounting  standards,
        to be displayed in a financial statement with the same prominence as 
        other  financial  statements,  if material.  Accordingly,  unrealized
        gains (losses) on the Trust's available-for sale securities have been
        included in other comprehensive income.

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.

The Advisor of the Trust has conducted an assessment of the Trust's core 
internal and external  computer  information  systems and has taken the further
necessary  steps to  understand  the nature and extent of the work  required to
make its systems  Year 2000 ready in those  situations in which it is required
to do so. The Year 2000 readiness issue concerns the inability of computerized
information systems to accurately  calculate,  store or use a date after 1999.
This could result in a system  failure or  miscalculations  causing disruptions
of operations.  The Year 2000 issue affects virtually all companies and all
organizations.

In this regard,  the Advisor of the Trust,  along with certain  affiliates,  
began a computer  systems project in 1997 to significantly upgrade its existing
hardware and software.  The Advisor completed the testing and conversion of the
financial  accounting  operating systems in February  1998.  As a result,  the
Advisor has  generated  operating  efficiencies  and  believes its  financial
accounting operating  systems are Year 2000 ready.  The Trust incurred hardware
costs as well as consulting  and other  expenses  related to the infrastructure
and facilities  enhancements  necessary  to complete  the  upgrade  and prepare
for the Year 2000.  There are no other systems or software that the Trust is 
using at the present time.

The Advisor of the Trust is in the process of evaluating  the potential adverse
impact that could result from the failure of material third-party service
providers (including but not limited to its banks and  telecommunications 
providers) and significant vendors to be Year 2000 ready.  No estimate can be
made at this time as to the impact of the readiness of such third parties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 1998 the Trust has significant  liquidity  consisting of cash
and cash equivalents, of approximately  $17 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 are quarterly  dividends
paid to investors of approximately $5.7 million.  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 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.

As a result of the St.  Germain  payoff the Trust made a special dividend  of
$.87 per share from the payoff  proceeds.  Consequently, the Trust's  capital
resources  and its future cash flows will be lower.  However,  at this time the
Advisor has  determined  that the Trust can maintain its current  dividend rate
of $1.25 per share per year.  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 reinvest the available proceeds,  
adjust the dividend rate or distribute such funds through a special 
distribution.

The borrower on the Lakes at Vinings and Martins Landing PIMIs sold these 
properties  during July 1998, and the purchaser  assumed both the guaranteed 
first mortgage loans and the Additional Loans on both properties.
 
The borrower on the Windsor Lake PIMI has approached the Trust with a request
to either allow a prepayment  of the PIMI at a discount or enter into a workout
agreement that would provide debt service relief.  There are significant repair
and replacement issues with Windsor  Lake that will have a long-term  effect on
the value of the  property.  The Advisor is  currently assessing the borrower's
request and expects to respond prior to year-end.

Also the operating  performance of two  properties  located in South Florida,  
Oasis at Springtree and Windmill  Lakes,  continue to be adversely affected by
highly competitive  housing markets.  Low interest rates and available building
sites have encouraged  aggressive development of both single-family homes and
new apartment product.  The borrower on the Windmill Lakes PIMI is currently  
delinquent in his  obligation  on the  Additional  Loan.  Although he is trying
to sell the property,  he has been unable to secure a purchase  offer that will
cover the property's outstanding liabilities.  The Advisor is currently 
assessing the feasibility of extending debt service relief on Windmill  Lakes
until that market stabilizes.  All of the other  properties  in the Trust's 
portfolio  generate  sufficient operating revenues to adequately maintain the
property, service the debt and pay participating interest to the Trust.

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.

Assessment of Credit Risk

The Trust's  investments  in  mortgages,  with the  exception of the Additional
Loans, are  guaranteed or insured by Fannie Mae, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation ("FHLMC"),  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.

Fannie  Mae is a  federally  chartered  private  corporation  that  guarantees
obligations originated under its  programs.  However, obligations of Fannie Mae
are not backed by the U.S. Government.  Fannie Mae 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 Fannie
Mae 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 
higher risk debt  instruments,  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 includes in cash and cash equivalents approximately  $16.6 million of
commercial  paper,  which is issued by entities with a credit rating equal to 
one of the top two rating categories of a nationally recognized statistical 
rating organization.

Operations

The following discussion relates to the operations of the Trust during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

The Trust's net income  increased for the three and nine months ended  September
30, 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997.  The increases were due to
increases in interest  income on MBS,  participation  interest and interest 
income on cash and cash  equivalents and decreases in expense  reimbursements  
and asset management fees. This was offset by decreases in base interest income
from PIMs and PIMIs and additional  loan interest and increases in amortization
and general and  administrative  expenses.  The increase in interest income on
MBS is primarily due to two  transactions  in 1997  involving the Willows 
Apartment  PIMI and the Estates  Apartment PIM. In each of these  transactions
the properties were sold and the Participating  and Additional  Loans were paid
off.  However, the buyer assumed the existing first mortgage and the Trust will
continue to receive  principal  and interest on this portion of the financing
but the Trust has now  classified  it as an MBS. The increase in  participation
interest is due to the Trust  receiving  participation interest  related to
prepayment of the St. Germain PIMI and also the Trust recognizing the settlement
related to The Estates that was received in 1998.  Interest income on cash and
cash equivalents also increased due to the Trust having higher  short-term 
investment balances  during the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1998
when compared to the same period in 1997. The decrease in expense reimbursements
when comparing 1998 to 1997 is due to the Trust having  received a rebate for 
expense  reimbursements  related to 1997. The decrease in asset management fees
when comparing 1998 to 1997 is a result of the Trust's asset base declining.

The decrease in base interest on PIMs and PIMIs is due to two  transactions  in
1997  involving  the Willows  Apartment  PIMI and the Estates  Apartment PIM as
mentioned  above.  The  decrease  in  Additional  Loan  interest  is due to the
prepayment  of the Willows Additional  Loan during the third  quarter of 1997 
and no  Additional  Loan  interest  payment from the borrower of the Windmill 
Lakes PIMI.  The  increase in  amortization  expense is because the Trust  fully
amortized  the  remaining  balance of the prepaid  fees and expenses associated
with the St. Germain PIMI.

As principal collections reduce the Trust's investments in MBS, PIMs and PIMIs,
interest income on MBS and base interest income on PIMs and PIMIs will decline.
The Trust funds a portion of 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.
