                                            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,  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
September 30, 1999,  the results of its operations for the three and nine months
ended  September  30, 1999 and 1998 and its cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998.  The results of  operations  for the three and nine
months ended  September 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  September  30,  1999,  the  Trust's  PIMs and PIMIs had a fair value of
$190,164,472 and gross  unrealized gains and losses of $445,831,  and $3,766,858
respectively.  The PIMs and PIMIs have maturities  ranging from 2008 to 2036. At
September 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 September 30, 1999
their  respective  borrowers  were 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.

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.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

     The Advisor  conducted  an  assessment  of the Trust's  core  internal  and
external  computer  information  systems  and has taken the  necessary  steps to
further  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 incurred $20,265 of costs associated with being Year
2000  ready.  The  Trust  does not  expect  to incur  any  additional  Year 2000
readiness costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September  30, 1999 the Trust had  significant  liquidity  consisting of
cash and cash  equivalents,  of approximately  $21.2 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  $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  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 should pay a special  dividend and
then adjust the dividend rate effective with the dividend to be made in February
2000. The Board of Trustees will evaluate this matter at their quarterly meeting
in November.  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  participation  income  to  the  Trust.  However,  the  operating
performance  of Windmill  Lakes and Oasis at  Springtree  in South  Florida have
continued to be adversely affected by the highly competitive housing market, 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.

     The Trust received a payoff of $12,399,164  from the Estates MBS consisting
of a first  mortgage of  $11,375,380  and a prepayment  premium of $1,023,784 on
October 18, 1999.  During  October,  1999,  the  Partnership  will pay a special
distribution  of $.68 per unit from the proceeds  received  from the Estates MBS
payoff.

     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 MBS and insured  mortgages  are  guaranteed or
insured by The FannieMae, 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.

     FannieMae 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 property 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  $21 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.

Results of Operations

     The following  discussion relates to the operations of the Trust during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.

     The Trust's net income  decreased  by $2.8  million  during the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1998
due primarily to decreases in participation income,  interest income on MBS, and
basic  interest  income on PIMs and  PIMIs,  net of a decrease  in  amortization
expense.  Participation  income  was  higher  in 1998 as  compared  to 1999  due
primarily to the receipt of  participation  income of $1,964,000  upon payoff of
the St. Germain PIMI during the nine months ended  September 30, 1998.  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  mentioned  above.  Amortization  expense  decreased in 1999
versus 1998 due to fully  amortizing  the prepaid fees and  expenses  associated
with the St. Germain PIMI in 1998.

     Net  income  decreased  by $1.7  million  during  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period in 1998 due primarily
to lower  participation  income,  Additional Loan interest income,  and interest
income on MBS net of a  decrease  in  amortization  expense.  The reason for the
changes in participation income, interest income on MBS and amortization expense
are the same as discussed in the previous paragraph.  The decrease in Additional
Loan interest income during the three months ended September 30, 1999,  compared
to 1998, is due to no receipt of income from Oasis and the prepayment of the St.
Germain PIMI.

     The Trust 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. 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.
