         Disposition of Property

          On December 2, 1997, Berkshire Realty Enterprises Limited Partnership
          (the "Agent") acting as agent for Berkshire Realty Company, Inc. (the
          "Company") entered into an Agreement of Sale to sell two of the
          Company's properties, College Plaza, a shopping center containing
          83,962 leasable square feet located in Fort Myers, Florida, and Spring
          Valley Marketplace, a shopping center containing 320,684 leasable
          square feet located in Spring Valley, New York, to Kejack, Inc. and
          its permitted assigns, which are unaffiliated third parties. Spring
          Valley Marketplace was owned in joint venture with Krupp Cash Plus V
          Limited Partnership. The properties were sold as part of a package
          which included twelve other properties owned by affiliates of the
          Agent and the General Partner of Krupp Cash Plus V Limited
          Partnership. The total selling price of the fourteen properties was
          $138,000,000, of which the Company received $20,828,322, less its
          share of the closing costs. The terms of the sale were determined by
          arms length negotiations between the agent and the buyer. The
          transaction was consummated on January 30, 1998.

                     NOTE TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Basis of Presentation

     The Pro Forma Balance Sheet at September 30, 1997 is based on the
     historical Balance Sheet of the Company as reported on Form 10-Q for the
     quarter ended September 30, 1997. The Pro Forma adjustment represents an
     adjustment to the Company's investment in Spring Valley Joint Venture (the
     "Joint Venture") and College Plaza to show the effect of the sale. The Pro
     Forma Balance Sheet at September 30, 1997 reflects the balance sheet as if
     the sale had occurred prior to September 30, 1997.

     The Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September
     30, 1997 is based on the historical Statement of Operations of the Company
     as reported on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The
     Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 is
     based on the historical Statement of Operations for the Company as
     presented in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1996. The Pro Forma adjustments represent the Company's share of Spring
     Valley's and College Plaza's net income (loss) for the respective periods
     presented. The Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1996 reflect the
     results of operations of the Company as if College Plaza and Spring Valley
     Marketplace had been sold prior to January 1, 1996. The Pro Forma
     Statements of Operations do not reflect any gain or loss which may be
     recognized by the Company as a result of the sale.
