                                           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 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.

In the opinion of the Advisor of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements  reflect all adjustments  (consisting  primarily of normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary to present fairly the Trust's financial position as of June
30, 1999,  the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999
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, 1999,  the Trust's PIMs and PIMIs have a fair value of  $194,024,770
and gross  unrealized  gains and losses of $621,697 and $516,199,  respectively.
The PIMs and PIMIs have maturities  ranging from 2008 to 2036. At June 30, 1999,
the Trust's six  participating  insured  mortgage  loans were not  delinquent of
principal or interest.

Windmill Lakes and Oasis have been adversely  affected by a competitive  housing
market in the South Florida area. As a result, at June 30, 1999 their respective
borrowers  are in  technical  default  for not  making  the full  required  base
interest payments due on the Additional Loan. The Advisor is currently assessing
its options related to these loans.

Management  believes  that the  impairment  provision of  $2,994,000 is adequate
based on its analysis of property operations underlying the Additional Loans.

 3.     MBS

At  June  30,  1999,  the  Trust's  MBS  portfolio  has  an  amortized  cost  of
approximately  $35,734,317 and gross unrealized gains and losses of $228,599 and
$245,642,  respectively.  The MBS portfolio has maturities  ranging from 2008 to
2031. At June 30, 1999, the Trust's insured  mortgage loan was not delinquent of

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  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  conducted an  assessment  of the Trust's core internal
and external computer  information  systems and has taken the 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 Advisor  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  significant  internal  systems or software that the Trust is
using at the present time.

The Advisor of the Trust  surveyed  the  Trust's  material  third-party  service
providers  (including  but  not  limited  to its  banks  and  telecommunications
providers) and significant  vendors and received  assurances that such providers
and  vendors  are to be Year 2000  ready.  The  Trust  does not  anticipate  any
problems  with such  providers  and  vendors  that would  materially  impact its
results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.  Nevertheless the Advisor
is developing  contingency plans for all of its "mission-critical functions" to
insure business continuity.

In addition,  the Trust is also subject to external  forces that might generally
affect industry and commerce,  such as utility and  transportation  company Year
2000 readiness failures and related service  interruptions.  However,  the Trust
does not  anticipate  these would  materially  impact its results of operations,
liquidity or capital resources.

To date,  the Trust has not  incurred any cost  associated  with being Year 2000
ready.  All costs have been incurred by the Advisor and it is estimated that any
future Year 2000 readiness costs will be borne by the Advisor.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1999 the Trust has significant liquidity consisting of cash and cash
equivalents, of approximately $20.7 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 for the forseeable future.

The most significant demand on the Trust's liquidity is quarterly dividends paid
to investors of $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.

The Advisor of the Trust  periodically  reviews the  dividend  rate to determine
whether an adjustment 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  remainder of the 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 adjust the dividend
rate or distribute such funds through a special distribution.

The Trust's  investments in PIMs and PIMIs, in addition to providing  guaranteed
or insured  monthly  principal  and  interest  payments  on the MBS and  insured
mortgages, may provide the Trust with additional income through participation in
the cash generated by the operations of the underlying  properties and a portion
of the  appreciation  realized upon the sale or  refinancing  of the  underlying
properties.  The Trust's participation  interests and the principal and 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.

Most of the properties underlying the Trust's PIMs and PIMIs generate sufficient
operating revenues to adequately maintain the property, service the debt and pay
participating  interest to the Trust.  However,  the  operating  performance  of
Windmill  Lakes and Oasis at Springtree  in South  Florida have  continued to be
adversely  affected by highly  competitive  housing markets,  and the respective
borrowers are  currently  delinquent on their  obligations  on their  Additional
Loans. The Advisor is currently assessing its options related to these loans.

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  are  guaranteed or insured by the Fannie
Mae, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation  (FHLMC), and the United States
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.  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  $19.2  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 Trust's net income  decreased  by $1.2  million  during the six months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1998 due primarily to
decreases in  participation  interest  income,  interest income on MBS and basic
interest income on PIMs and PIMIs.  Participation  interest income was higher in
1998 as compared to 1999 due primarily to the receipt of participation  interest
from the St.  Germain  PIMI of  $265,000  and The Estates PIM of $232,000 in the
first  quarter of 1998. In addition,  the Trust  received  participation  income
totaling  $336,000  from six PIMIs  during the first half of 1998 as compared to
$254,000  from two PIMIs during the first half of 1999.  Interest  income on MBS
decreased  during  1999  as  compared  to  1998  due  to  significant  principal
collections  reducing the MBS  investment  balance.  Basic  interest on PIMs and
PIMIs  decreased in 1999 as compared to 1998 due  primarily  to the St.  Germain
prepayment in the third quarter of 1998.

Net income  decreased by $265,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1999 as
compared  to the  corresponding  period  in 1998 due  primarily  to lower  basic
interest on PIMs and PIMIs,  and interest  income on MBS. Basic interest on PIMs
and PIMIs, and interest income on MBS decreased due to principal collections and
prepayments reducing the Trust's mortgage investments.

The Trust funds a portion of its distributions with principal  collections which
reduces the invested assets generating income from the Trust. As invested assets
decline so will interest  income on MBS,  basic  interest on PIM and PIMIs,  and
other interest income.
