OTHER EVENTS UPDATES ON POTENTIAL LOAN PAYOFFS The following information updates information included in the quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2002 of Krupp Government Income Trust II ("GIT II"). GIT II is providing this information solely in light of the announcement by Berkshire Income Realty, Inc. ("BIR") of its intention to conduct an exchange offer for shares. By disclosing the information below, GIT II does not intend to indicate that it believes this information to be material to shareholders. Moreover, GIT II expressly disclaims any obligation to provide periodic updates regarding the status of its mortgage portfolio or otherwise, other than in its regular quarterly or annual public filings. On November 25, 2002, GIT II received $4,488,878, which was a payoff of the Sunset Summit Additional Loan. The payoff consisted of $1,900,000 for the principal due on the Additional Loan, base interest of $33,250, Preferred Interest of $1,532,498 and Participating Appreciation Interest of $1,023,130. On December 26, 2002, GIT II received the proceeds from the Fannie Mae MBS of $9,094,934. During the first half of 2003 GIT II will pay a special dividend of $0.74 per share from the prepayment of the Sunset Summit PIMI. On December 30, 2002, GIT II received a prepayment of the Mequon Trails PIM participation feature totaling $572,226.

GIT II expects that this loan will not be paid off until October 2003 at the earliest due to the yield maintenance provision on the first mortgage, which underlies the Fannie Mae MBS. -2- <Page> SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
