                                     PART I

This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of
factors, including those identified herein.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Krupp Government Income Trust (the "Trust") was formed on November 1, 1989 by
filing a Declaration of Trust in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Trust is
authorized to sell and issue not more than 17,510,000 shares of beneficial
interest (the "Shares"). The Trust raised approximately $300 million through a
public offering of the Shares and used the proceeds available for investment
primarily to acquire participating insured mortgages ("PIMs"), participating
insured mortgage investments ("PIMIs") and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS").
The Trust considers itself to be engaged in only one industry segment,
investment in mortgages.

The Trust has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"),
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Trust shall terminate
on December 31, 2029 unless earlier terminated by the affirmative vote of
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon. See
Note A of Notes to Financial Statements included in Appendix A of this report
for additional information.

The Trust's remaining PIMI investment consists of (1) an insured mortgage loan
originated under the lending program of the Federal Housing Administration
("FHA") insured as to principal and basic interest, (2) an additional loan
("Additional Loan") to the borrower or owners of the borrower in excess of
mortgage amounts insured or guaranteed under the FHA program that increases the
Trust's total financing with respect to that property and (3) a participating
mortgage. The Additional Loan associated with the insured mortgage originated in
connection with a Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") insured
program cannot, under government regulations, be collateralized by a mortgage on
the underlying property. The Additional Loan is collateralized by a security
interest satisfactory to Berkshire Mortgage Advisors Limited Partnership (the
"Advisor"). The Additional Loan is neither insured nor guaranteed. In addition,
the participation feature related to the participating mortgage is neither
insured nor guaranteed. The Additional Loan may provide the Trust with
semi-annual interest payments and may provide additional interest in the future
while the participating mortgage provides for Trust participation in the net
income and residual value, if any, of the underlying property.

The Trust also has investments in MBS collateralized by single-family mortgage
loans issued or originated by GNMA, Fannie Mae or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation ("FHLMC"). Fannie Mae and FHLMC guarantee the principal and basic
interest of the Fannie Mae and FHLMC MBS, respectively. GNMA guarantees the
timely payment of principal and interest on its MBS, and HUD insures the pooled
mortgage loans underlying the GNMA MBS.

The Trust will distribute all proceeds from prepayments or other realizations of
mortgage assets to investors either through quarterly dividends or special
dividends.

Although the Trust will terminate no later than December 31, 2029, the value of
the PIMs and PIMIs may be realized by the Trust through repayment or sale as
early as ten years from the dates of the closings of the permanent loans, and
the Trust may realize the value of all of its other investments within that time
frame thereby resulting in a dissolution of the Trust significantly prior to
December 31, 2029.

The Trust anticipates that there will be sufficient cash flow from the mortgages
to meet cash requirements. To the extent that the Trust's cash flow should be
insufficient to meet the Trust's operating expenses and liabilities, it will be
necessary for the Trust to obtain additional funds by liquidating its investment
in one or more mortgages or by borrowing. The Trust may pledge mortgages as
security for any permitted borrowing.

The Trust may not borrow funds in connection with the acquisition or origination
of mortgages. However, it may borrow funds to meet working capital requirements
of the Trust. In this event, the Trust may borrow funds from third parties on a
short-term basis. The Declaration of Trust limits the amount that may be
borrowed by the Trust. Borrowing agreements between the Trust and a lender may
also restrict the amount of indebtedness that the Trust may incur. The
Declaration of Trust prohibits the Trust from issuing debt securities to
institutional lenders and banks, and the Trust may not issue debt securities to
the public except in some circumstances. The Trust, under some circumstances,
may borrow funds from the Advisor, a trustee or an affiliate of the Trust or any
trustee. However, a majority of the independent trustees, not otherwise
interested in such transaction, must approve the transaction as being fair,
competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Trust than
loans between unaffiliated lenders and borrowers under the same circumstances.
The Trust has not borrowed any funds during the past and does not intend to do
so in the future.


                                      -2-


The FHA coinsurance loan program under Section 221(d)(4) of the National Housing
Act provides for loans with 40 year terms. However, this program allows for a
call option at any time after ten years, upon one year's notice. The
subordinated promissory notes and subordinated mortgages that secure the
participation feature of the insured mortgages and PIMs and the notes that
evidence the Additional Loans provide for acceleration of maturity at the
earlier of the sale of the underlying property or the call date.

From time to time, the Trust expects that it may realize the principal and
participation in residual value, if any, of its mortgages before maturity. It is
expected that the mortgages will be repaid after a period of ownership of
approximately ten years from the dates of the closings of the permanent loans.
Realization of the value of mortgages may, however, be made at an earlier or
later date.

The Trust will not underwrite securities of other issuers, offer securities in
exchange for property or invest in securities of other issuers for the purpose
of exercising control and has not engaged in any of these actives during the
past. The Declaration of Trust does not permit the Trust to issue senior
securities. The Trust has not repurchased or reacquired any of its Shares from
shareholders in the past. The Trust may not make loans to the Advisor, any
trustee, any affiliate of the Advisor or any trustee or any other person, other
than mortgage investments of the type described above. The Trust has not made
any loans other than mortgage investments during the past.

The Trust's investments are not expected to be subject to seasonal fluctuations,
although net income may vary somewhat from quarter to quarter based upon the
participation features of its investments. The requirements for compliance with
federal, state and local regulations to date have not materially adversely
affected the Trust's operations, and the Trust anticipates no material adverse
effect in the future.

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Trust made a valid
election to be so treated and must continue to satisfy a range of complex
requirements including criteria related to its ownership structure, the nature
of its assets, the sources of its income and the amount of its dividends to
shareholders. The Trust intends to qualify as a REIT in each year of operation,
however, certain factors may have an adverse effect on the Trust's REIT status.
If for any taxable year, the Trustees and the Advisor determine that any of the
asset, income, or dividend tests are not likely to be satisfied, the Trust may
be required to borrow money, dispose of mortgages or take other action to avoid
loss of REIT status.

Additionally, if the Trust does not qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, it
will be subject to federal income tax as if it were a corporation and the
shareholders will be taxed as shareholders of a corporation. If the Trust were
taxed as a corporation, the payment of such tax by the Trust would substantially
reduce the funds available for dividends to shareholders. To the extent that
dividends had been made in anticipation of the Trust's qualification as a REIT,
the Trust might be required to borrow additional funds or to liquidate certain
investments in order to pay the applicable tax. Moreover, should the Trust's
election to be taxed as a REIT be terminated or voluntarily revoked, the Trust
may not be able to elect to be treated as a REIT for the following five-year
period.

As of December 31, 2003, no personnel were directly employed by the Trust.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

None.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Trust, any director, officer
or affiliate of the Trust is a party to which would have a material effect on
the Trust and there are no material pending legal proceedings which any of its
investments are subject to.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

There currently is no established public trading market for the Shares.

The number of investors holding Shares as of December 31, 2003 is approximately
6,600.

The Trust has declared and paid dividends on a quarterly basis and intends to do
so for the foreseeable future. The Trustees established a dividend rate per
Share per quarter of $0.02 per Share per quarter for the third and fourth
quarter of 2003, $0.06 for the first and second quarter of 2003 and $0.17 for
each quarter of 2002.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this Form 10-K constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
the Trust's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other
things, federal, state or local regulations; adverse changes in general economic
or local conditions; the inability of the borrower to meet financial obligations
on additional loans; pre-payments of mortgages; failure of borrowers to pay
participation interests due to poor operating results at properties underlying
the mortgages; uninsured losses and potential conflicts of interest between the
Trust and its affiliates, including the Advisor.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2003, the Trust had liquidity, consisting of cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $1.6 million as well as the cash inflows provided
by the remaining PIMI, MBS and cash and cash equivalents. The Trust may also
receive additional cash flow from the participation features of its remaining
PIMI. 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 demands on the Trust's liquidity are quarterly dividends
paid to investors of approximately $300,000, which represents the current
quarterly dividend rate of $0.02 per share. Funds for dividends come from
interest income received on the remaining PIMI, MBS and cash and cash
equivalents, net of operating expenses, and the principal collections received
on the remaining PIMI and MBS. The portion of dividends funded from principal
collections and cash reserves reduces the capital


                                      -4-


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. The current
dividend rate is $0.02 per Share per quarter. The Trustees, based on the
Advisor's recommendations, generally set a dividend rate that provides for level
quarterly dividends. 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 dividend.

In addition to providing guaranteed or insured monthly principal and interest
payments from the insured first mortgage, the Trust's investment in the
remaining PIMI also may provide additional income through the interest on the
Additional Loan portion of the PIMI as well as participation interest based on
operating cash flow and an increase in the value realized upon the sale or
refinance of the underlying property. However, collection of the Additional Loan
principal and interest from the participation feature is neither guaranteed nor
insured and depends upon the successful operation of the underlying property.

On July 15, 2003, the Trust received a prepayment of the Pointe East Apartments
insured mortgage for $3,251,119. The Trust also received a prepayment premium of
$130,045 from this payoff. On August 4, 2003, the Trust paid a special dividend
of $0.23 per share from the proceeds of the Pointe East Apartments insured
mortgage payoff.

On May 30, 2003, the Trust received a prepayment of the Windward Lakes
Apartments Subordinated Promissory Note and the Windward Lakes Apartments
Additional Loan. The Trust received $2,471,294 of Additional Loan principal,
$970,575 of Additional Loan interest, $719,682 of Shared Appreciation Interest
and $684,291 of accrued interest from the workout agreement that expired in
2000. On June 16, 2003, the Trust received $13,301,440 in principal proceeds on
the first mortgage note. In addition, the Trust recognized $373,757 of
Additional Loan interest that had been previously received and recorded as
deferred income on the Additional Loan. On July 24, 2003, the Trust paid a
special dividend of $1.22 per share from the proceeds of the Windward Lakes
prepayment.

On March 27, 2003, the Trust received a prepayment of the Rivergreens Apartments
Subordinated Promissory Note. The Trust received $547,978 of Shared Appreciation
Interest and $383,297 of Minimum Additional Interest. On April 10, 2003, the
Trust received $9,500,670 representing the principal proceeds on the first

On March 12, 2003, the Trust sold the Lifestyles Ginnie Mae MBS at par for
$9,746,038 to the borrower of the Lifestyles PIMI. Concurrently, the borrower
paid off the full amount due on the Additional Loan of $1,817,665. In addition,
the Trust recognized $343,659 of Additional Loan interest previously recorded as
deferred income on the Additional Loan. On May 7, 2003, the Trust paid a special
dividend of $0.77 per share from the proceeds of the Lifestyles Apartments PIMI.

On January 21, 2003, the Trust received a prepayment of the Mill Pond I PIM for
$7,430,727 representing the principal proceeds on the first mortgage. The
underlying property value did not increase sufficiently to meet the criteria for
the Trust to earn any participating interest. On May 5, 2003, the Trust paid a
special dividend of $0.50 per share from the proceeds of the Mill Pond I PIM.

Due to the significant number of prepayments of mortgage investments in 2003,
the Trust saw a decrease in its overall mortgage investments of approximately
82% during 2003. In addition, due to the cumulative prepayments since inception
through December 31, 2003, the Trust has approximately 4% of its original
mortgage investments remaining.

On August 27, 2002, the Trust received $4,856,759 representing the principal
proceeds on the first mortgage loan from the Rosemont Apartments MBS. In
addition, the Trust received a prepayment premium of $194,270 from this payoff.

                                      -5-

On June 19, 2002, the Trust paid a special dividend of $0.17 per share from the
proceeds of the Parkwest Apartments MBS prepayment.

On January 3, 2002, the Trust received $18,330,825 representing the principal
proceeds on the first mortgage loan from the Red Run PIMI plus $120,296 of
interest on the first mortgage loan. On December 31, 2001 the Trust received a

Interest on the Additional Loan. On January 16, 2002, the Trust paid a special
dividend of $1.68 per share from the proceeds of the Red Run PIMI prepayment.

On January 2, 2002, the Trust received a prepayment of the Waterford Apartments
Subordinate Promissory Note. The Trust received $379,725 of Minimum Additional
Interest and $425,643 of Shared Appreciation Interest. On January 17, 2002, the
Trust received $6,625,742 representing the principal proceeds on the first
mortgage loan. In addition, the Trust received a prepayment premium of $66,257
from the payoff. On March 1, 2002, the Trust paid a special dividend of $0.51
per share from the proceeds of the Waterford Apartments PIM prepayment.

On July 23, 2001, the Trust received a prepayment of the Seasons Subordinated
Promissory Note and the Seasons Additional Loan. The Trust received $1,924,649
of Additional Loan principal, $180,916 of surplus cash, $847,450 of preferred
interest, $1,052,455 of contingent interest, $69,129 of Base Interest on the
Additional Loan and $1,299,562 which represents the Trust's portion of the
residual split. The Trust received $8,567,890 representing the principal
proceeds on the first mortgage note on July 26, 2001. In addition, the Trust
recognized $180,633 of Additional Loan interest that had been previously
received and recorded in deferred income on additional loans. On August 17,
2001, the Advisor paid a special dividend of $0.93 per share from the proceeds
of the Seasons PIMI prepayment.

The payoff of the Seasons PIMI was a result of the sale of the underlying
property by the borrower, Maryland Associates Limited Partnership ("MALP"),
which is an affiliate of the Adviser, to an affiliate of MALP's general partner.
Because the sale of the underlying property was to an affiliate, the Independent
Trustees of the Trust were required to approve the transaction, which they did
based upon a number of factors, including an appraisal of the underlying
property prepared by an independent third party MAI appraiser. The purchase
price paid by the affiliate for the underlying property was $1.6 million greater
than the value indicated by such appraisal. Both the Trustees and the Advisor
believed that the market capitalization rate utilized in the appraisal was too
high based on their knowledge of recent sales in the market and agreed that the
true fair value was the negotiated purchase price paid by the affiliate.

The remaining PIMI investment, Mountain View, operates under a workout
agreement, its second workout with the Trust. The Mountain View agreement
modified the borrower's obligation to make Additional Loan interest payments,
regardless of whether the property generates sufficient revenues to do so, to an
obligation to pay Additional Loan interest only if the property generates
Surplus Cash, as defined by HUD. For the underlying property's fiscal years
ending December 31, 2003 and 2002, Mountain View did not generate any Surplus
Cash.

Mountain View has experienced problems due to competitive market conditions. In
June 1999, the Trust approved a second workout of Mountain View. Under its
terms, the Trust agreed to reduce the effective interest rate on the insured
first mortgage by 1.25% retroactively for 1999 and each year thereafter until
2004, and to change the loan's participation terms. The workout eliminated the
preferred return feature, forgave $288,580 of previous accruals of Additional
Loan interest related to the first workout, and changed the Trust's
participation in Surplus Cash generated by the property and its application
towards Additional Loan interest. The Trust will receive 75% of the first
$130,667 of Surplus Cash and 50% of any remaining Surplus Cash on an annual
basis to pay Additional Loan interest. Unpaid Additional Loan interest related
to the second workout will accrue and be payable if there are sufficient
proceeds from a sale or refinancing of the property. In addition, the borrower
repaid $153,600 of the Additional Loan and funded approximately $54,000 to a
reserve for property improvements.

The Mountain View Additional Loan was scheduled to mature in September 2003.
When the trust entered into the second workout agreement in June 1999, it was
the Trust's intention to extend the maturity date of the Additional Loan to
coincide with the expiration date of the interest rebate in December 2004. While
reviewing the existing Additional Loan Agreement, the Advisor noted that the
maturity date of the Additional Loan was not updated at the time of the second
workout agreement. On September 8, 2003, the Advisor entered into a third
modification with the borrower to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2004
to correct this oversight.

Under the restructuring described above, management determined that the new
interest rate level of the loan was at or above the then prevailing rate for
similar instruments and therefore did not meet the criteria for a troubled debt
restructuring. Accordingly, the restructuring and new rate was accounted for
prospectively and not as a troubled debt restructuring.


                                      -6-


During 2002 and 2003, operating results at Mountain View have continued to
deteriorate. A building with 20 three-bedroom apartments was out of service for
18 months as a result of a fire in 2001. Reconstruction work necessitated by the
fire was completed in mid-2002, with insurance proceeds covering the total cost
of the restoration and a portion of the rental income. Additionally, occupancy
in the remaining units has been affected by local economic conditions. These
factors have made the rental market much more competitive for apartment owners,
and the use of concessions to attract potential renters has increased throughout
the market. Consequently, rental income decreased in 2002 and did not improve in
2003. Additionally, both insurance costs and real estate taxes have increased
significantly, which have further deteriorated operating results. As a result of
the factors described above, the Trust maintains a valuation allowance for the
Mountain View of $1,032,617. Between the valuation allowance and the related
deferred income on Additional Loans liability account, the Mountain View
additional loan has been effectively fully reserved.

Whether the operating performance of Mountain View provides sufficient cash flow
from operations to pay either the Additional Loan principal and interest or
participation income will depend on factors that the Trust has little or no
control over. Should the property be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to
pay the Additional Loan interest, it would reduce the Trust's distributable cash
flow and continue to negatively affect the value of the Additional Loan
collateral.

There are no contractual restrictions on the repayment of the remaining PIMI.
The participation feature and Additional Loan are neither insured nor
guaranteed. If the prepayment of the PIMI results from the foreclosure on the
underlying property or an insurance claim, the Trust would probably not receive
any participation income or any amounts due under the Additional Loan.

In the event that the Mountain View PIMI pays off, the Trust would then commence
an orderly liquidation of the remaining assets of the Trust and subsequently pay
a liquidation dividend.

In the event that the remaining PIMI does not pay off as discussed above, the
Trust does have the option to call this PIMI by accelerating the maturity. If
the call feature is exercised then the insurance feature of the loan would be
canceled. Therefore, the Advisor will determine the merits of exercising the
call option for the remaining PIMI as economic conditions warrant. Such factors
as the condition of the asset, local market conditions, the interest rate
environment and available financing will have an impact on these decisions.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Trust's critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition related
to the Trust's remaining PIMI investment, impaired mortgage loan, amortization
of Prepaid Fees and Expenses and the carrying value of its MBS. The Trust's
policies are as follows:

The Trust accounted for its MBS portion of a PIM or PIMI investment in
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("FAS 115"),
under the classification of held to maturity as these investments have a
participation feature. As a result, the Trust would not sell or otherwise
dispose of the MBS. Accordingly, the Trust had both the intention and ability to
hold these investments to expected maturity. The Trust carried these MBS at
amortized cost. The insured mortgage portion of the FHA PIM or FHA PIMI is
carried at amortized cost. The Trust holds these mortgages at amortized cost
since they are fully insured by FHA. The Additional Loans are carried at
amortized cost unless the Advisor of the Trust believes there is an impairment
in value, in which case a valuation allowance is established in accordance with
FAS 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and FAS 118
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan- Income Recognition and
Disclosures". The Trust, in accordance with FAS 115, classifies its MBS
portfolio as available-for-sale. The Trust classifies its MBS portfolio as
available-for-sale as a portion of the MBS portfolio may remain after all of the
PIMs and PIMIs payoff and that it will be necessary to then sell the remaining
MBS portfolio at that time in order to close out the Trust. In addition, other
situations such as liquidity needs could arise which would necessitate the sale
of a portion of the MBS portfolio. As such, the Trust carries its MBS at fair
market value and reflects any unrealized gains (losses) as a separate component
of Shareholders' Equity. The Trust amortizes purchase premiums or discounts over
the life of the underlying mortgages using the effective interest method.

Basic interest is recognized based on the stated rate of the HUD insured
mortgage loan (less the servicer's fee) or the coupon rate of the GNMA MBS. The
Trust recognizes interest related to the participation features when the amount
becomes fixed and the transaction that gives rise to such amount is finalized,
cash is received and all contingencies are resolved. This could be the sale or
refinancing of the underlying real estate, which results in a cash payment to
the Trust or a cash payment made to the Trust from surplus cash relative to the
participation feature. The Trust defers the recognition of Additional Loan
interest payments as income to the extent these interest payments were from
escrows established with the proceeds of the Additional Loan. When the
properties underlying the PIMI's generate sufficient cash flow to make the
required Additional Loan interest payments and the Additional Loan value is
deemed collectible, the Trust recognizes income as earned and commences
amortization of the deferred interest amounts into income over the remaining
estimated term of the Additional Loan. During periods where mortgage loans are
impaired the Trust suspends amortizing deferred interest.


                                      -7-


The Trust also fully reserves the portion of any Additional Loan interest
payment satisfied through the issuance of an operating loan and any associated
interest due on such operating loan. The Trust will recognize the income related
to the operating loan when the borrower repays amounts due under the operating
loan.

Impaired loans are those Additional Loans which the Advisor believes that the
collection of all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the
loan agreement are not likely. Impaired loans are measured based on the fair
value of the underlying collateral net of estimated selling costs. The Trust
measures impairment on these loans quarterly using the most current operating
information available. Interest received on the impaired loans is applied
against the loan principal.

Prepaid fees and expenses represented prepaid acquisition fees and expenses and
prepaid participation servicing fees paid for the acquisition and servicing of
PIMs and PIMIs. The Trust amortized prepaid acquisition fees and expenses using
a method that approximated the effective interest method over a period of ten to
twelve years, which represents the estimated life of the underlying mortgage.
The Trust amortized prepaid participation servicing fees using a method that
approximated the effective interest method over a ten year period beginning at
final endorsement of the loan if a HUD-insured mortgage loan or a GNMA MBS. Upon
the repayment of a PIM or PIMI any unamortized acquisition fees and expenses and
unamortized participation servicing fees related to such loan are expensed.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Assessment of Credit Risk

The Trust's investments in its remaining insured mortgage and MBS are guaranteed
and/or insured by Fannie Mae, FHLMC, GNMA and 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. FHLMC is a federally chartered
corporation that guarantees obligations originated under its programs. These
obligations are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board. However, Fannie Mae and FHLMC are two of the largest corporations in
the United States and both have significant experience in mortgage
securitizations. In addition, their MBS carry the highest credit rating given to
financial instruments. 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.

Collection of the principal and interest of the Additional Loan and interest on
the participation features have risks similar to those associated with higher
risk debt instruments, including: reliance on the owner's operating skills,
ability to maintain occupancy levels, control operating expenses, ability to
maintain the properties and obtain adequate insurance coverage. Operations also
may be affected by adverse changes in general economic conditions, 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.

At December 31, 2003, the Trust's investments also include cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $1.4 million of Agency paper, which is issued by
Government Sponsored Enterprises with a credit rating equal to the top rating
category of a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

Interest Rate Risk

The Trust's primary market risk exposure is to interest rate risk, which can be
defined as the exposure of the Trust's net income, comprehensive income or
financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. At December 31,
2003, the Trust's remaining PIMI and MBS comprise the majority of the Trust's
assets. Decreases in interest rates may accelerate the prepayment of the Trust's
investments. Increases in interest rates may decrease the proceeds from a sale
of the MBS. The Trust does not utilize any derivatives or other instruments to
manage this risk as the Trust plans to hold its remaining PIMI investment to
expected maturity while it is expected that substantially all of the MBS will
prepay over the same time period thereby mitigating any potential interest rate
risk to the disposition value for any remaining MBS.

The Trust monitors prepayments and considers prepayment trends, as well as
dividend requirements of the Trust, when setting regular dividend policy. For
MBS, the fund forecasts prepayments based on trends in similar securities as
reported by statistical reporting entities such as Bloomberg. For its remaining
PIMI investment, the Trust incorporates prepayment assumptions into planning as
the property notifies the Trust of the intent to prepay or as it matures.

The table below provides information about the Trust's financial instruments
that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For

(1)   The methodology used by the Trust to estimate the fair value of each class
      of financial instrument is described in Note J to the Trust's financial
      statements presented in Appendix A to this report. As described in that
      note, the Trust does not include an estimate of value for the
      participation interest associated with its PIMI investments.

Also included in the Trust's assets are cash and cash equivalents. Due to the
short-term maturity of these investments generally less than three months, the
Trust is not exposed to significant interest rate risk on these investments.

The Trust's net income decreased in 2003 when compared to 2002 due primarily to
decreases in basic interest income on PIMs and PIMIs, participation interest and
interest income on MBS and an increase in expense reimbursement to affiliates.
This decrease is partially offset by an increase in Additional Loan interest and
decreases in asset management fees, amortization expense and the provision for
impaired mortgage loans. Basic interest income on PIMs and PIMIs decreased due
primarily to the payoffs of the Rivergreen Apartments and the Mill Pond I
Apartments PIMs in 2003, the payoffs of the River View and Lincoln Green PIMs in
2002 and the payoffs of the Windward Lakes and the Lifestyles PIMIs in 2003. The
decrease in basic interest income on PIMs and PIMIs was partially offset by
accrued interest received from the Windward Lakes payoff in relation to the
workout agreement. Participation interest decreased due to the collections from
the Windward Lakes, Lifestyles and Rivergreen Apartments payoffs in 2003 being
less than the collections received from the Lincoln Green, River View and
Waterford payoffs in 2002. Interest income on MBS decreased due primarily to the
payoff of the Pointe East Apartments MBS in 2003 and the payoffs of the Rosemont
Apartments and Parkwest Apartments MBS in 2002. The decrease in interest income
on MBS is partially offset by the prepayment premium received from the Pointe
East payoff. Expense reimbursement of affiliates increased primarily due to a
change in the estimated cost of services provided to the Trust in 2002 that was
paid in 2003 and an increase in the cost of 2003's services associated with the
wind down of the Trust's activities and the expected liquidation of the Trust's
assets.

Additional Loan interest increased due to the collection of base interest and
the recognition of deferred revenue from the payoff of the Windward Lakes PIMI
in 2003. Asset management fees decreased due to the decline in the Trust's asset
base as a result of principal collections and prepayments. Amortization expense
decreased due primarily to the River View, Waterford and Lincoln Green PIM
payoffs in 2002, the Rivergreen Apartments PIM payoff in 2003 and the full
recognition of prepaid fees and expenses for the Mountain View PIMI and the Mill
Pond I PIM in 2003 and the Lifestyles and Windward Lakes PIMIs in 2002. The
provision for impaired mortgage loans decreased due to the reversal of the
Lifestyles valuation allowance at the end of 2002 based upon the expected payoff
of the loan in March of 2003.

The Trust's net income decreased in 2002 when compared to 2001 due primarily to
decreases in basic interest income on PIMs and PIMIs, additional loan interest
and participation interest net of decreases in asset management fees and
amortization expense. Basic interest income on PIMs and PIMIs decreased due to
payoffs of the Lincoln Green Apartments, Waterford Apartments, and the River
View Apartments PIMs and the Red Run PIMI in 2002 and the Seasons PIMI in 2001.
Additional loan interest decreased due to the payoff of the Red Run PIMI in 2002
and the Seasons PIMI in 2001 net of the recognition of deferred revenue from the
Windward Lakes PIMI beginning in 2002. Participation income was greater in 2001
due to the amount received from payoffs in 2001 when compared to the amount
received from payoffs in 2002. Asset management fees decreased due to the
decline in the Trust's asset base as a result of principal collections and
prepayments. Amortization expense decreased due to the full recognition of
prepaid fees and expenses associated with the Lincoln Green Apartments PIM,
Riverview Apartments PIM, Waterford Apartments PIM and the Red Run PIMI payoffs
and the full recognition of prepaid fees


                                      -10-


and expenses associated with the Life Styles and Windward Lakes PIMIs and the
full recognition of acquisition costs associated with the Mill Pond and
Rivergreens PIMs.

To the Board of Trustees and the Shareholders of
Krupp Government Income Trust:

In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Krupp
Government Income Trust (the "Trust") at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion,
the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in
conjunction with the related financial statements. These financial statements
and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Trust's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted
our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             ----------------------

A.    Organization

      Krupp Government Income Trust (the "Trust") was formed on November 1, 1989
      by filing a Declaration of Trust in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
      Trust is authorized to sell and issue not more than 17,510,000 shares of
      beneficial interest (the "Shares"). The Trust was organized for the
      purpose of investing in commercial and multi-family loans and mortgage
      backed securities. Berkshire Mortgage Advisors Limited Partnership
      ("BMALP")(the "Advisor"), acquired 10,000 of such Shares for $200,000 and
      14,999,999 Shares were sold for $299,480,263 net of purchase volume
      discounts of $519,717 under a public offering which commenced on April 19,
      1990 and ended on July 15, 1991. Under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan
      ("DRP"), 43,136 Shares were sold for $819,356 during its public offering.
      The Trust shall terminate on December 31, 2029, unless earlier terminated
      by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares
      entitled to vote thereon.

B.    Significant Accounting Policies

      The Trust uses the following accounting policies for financial reporting
      purposes:

      Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
      basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally
      accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

      MBS

      The Trust, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
      Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
      Securities" ("FAS 115"), classifies its MBS portfolio as
      available-for-sale. The Trust classifies its MBS portfolio as
      available-for-sale as a portion of the MBS portfolio may remain after all
      of the PIMs and PIMIs payoff and that it will be necessary to then sell
      the remaining MBS portfolio at that time in order to close out the Trust.
      In addition, other situations such as liquidity needs could arise which
      would necessitate the sale of a portion of the MBS portfolio. As such, the
      Trust carries its MBS at fair market value and reflects any unrealized
      gains (losses) as a separate component of Shareholders' Equity. The Trust
      amortizes purchase premiums or discounts over the life of the underlying
      mortgages using the effective interest method.

      PIMs and PIMIs

      The Trust accounted for its MBS portion of a PIM or PIMI investment in
      accordance with FAS 115, under the classification of held to maturity as
      these investments had a participation feature. As a result, the Trust
      would not sell or otherwise dispose of the MBS. Accordingly, the Trust had
      both the intention and ability to hold these investments to expected
      maturity. The Trust carried these MBS at amortized cost.

      The insured mortgage portion of the FHA PIM or FHA PIMI is carried at
      amortized cost. The Trust holds these mortgages at amortized cost since
      they are fully insured by the FHA.

      The Additional Loans are carried at amortized cost unless the Advisor of
      the Trust believes there is an impairment in value, in which case a
      valuation allowance is established in accordance with FAS 114 "Accounting
      by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and FAS 118 "Accounting by
      Creditors for Impairment of a Loan- Income Recognition and Disclosures".

      Basic interest is recognized based on the stated rate of the Department of
      Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") Insured Mortgage loan (less the
      servicer's fee) or the coupon rate of the Government National Mortgage
      Association ("GNMA") MBS. The Trust recognizes interest related to the
      participation features when the amount becomes fixed and the transaction
      that gives rise to such amount is finalized, cash is received and all
      contingencies are resolved. This could be the sale or refinancing of the
      underlying real estate which results in a cash payment to the Trust or a
      cash payment made to the Trust from surplus cash relative to the
      participation feature. The Trust defers the recognition of Additional Loan
      interest payments as income to the extent these interest payments were
      from escrows established with the proceeds of the Additional Loan. When
      the properties underlying the PIMIs generate sufficient cash flow to make
      required Additional

      remaining estimated term of the Additional Loan. During periods where
      mortgage loans are impaired the Trust suspends amortizing deferred
      interest.

      The Trust also fully reserves the portion of any Additional Loan interest
      payment satisfied through the issuance of an operating loan and any
      associated interest due on such operating loan. The Trust will recognize
      the income related to the operating loan when the borrower repays amounts
      due under the operating loan.

      Impaired Mortgage Loans

      Impaired loans are those Additional Loans for which the Advisor believes
      that the collection of all amounts due in accordance with the contractual
      terms of the loan agreement are not likely. Impaired loans are measured
      based on the fair value of the underlying collateral net of estimated
      selling costs. The Trust measures impairment on these loans quarterly.
      Interest received on the impaired loans is applied against the loan
      principal.

      Cash Equivalents

      The Trust includes all short-term investments with maturities of three
      months or less from the date of acquisition in cash and cash equivalents.
      The majority of the Trust's cash and cash equivalents are held at major
      commercial banks which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance
      Corporation limit of $100,000. The Trust has not experienced any losses to
      date on its invested cash.

      Prepaid Fees and Expenses

      Prepaid fees and expenses represented prepaid acquisition fees and
      expenses and prepaid participation servicing fees paid for the acquisition
      and servicing of PIMs and PIMIs. The Trust amortized prepaid acquisition
      fees and expenses using a method that approximates the effective interest
      method over a period of ten to twelve years, which represented the
      estimated life of the underlying mortgage.

      The Trust amortized prepaid participation servicing fees using a method
      that approximates the effective interest method over a ten year period
      beginning at final endorsement of the loan if a HUD-insured mortgage loan
      or a GNMA MBS.

      Upon the repayment of a PIM or PIMI any unamortized acquisition fees and
      expenses and unamortized participation servicing fees related to such loan
      were expensed.

      Income Taxes

      The Trust has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
      Code of 1986, as amended, and believes it will continue to meet all such
      qualifications. Accordingly, the Trust will not be subject to federal
      income taxes on amounts distributed to shareholders provided it
      distributes annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income and meets
      certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Therefore, no
      provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the financial
      statements.

      Estimates and Assumptions

      The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
      amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities and
      revenues and expenses during the period. Significant estimates include the
      net carrying value of Additional Loans and the unrealized gains on MBS
      investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

C.    PIMIs

      The Trust had investments in one PIMI on December 31, 2003 and three PIMIs
      on December 31, 2002 that provide the permanent financing of multi-family
      housing. One component of a PIMI is either a securitized HUD-insured first
      mortgage loan issued and guaranteed by GNMA or a sole participation
      interest in a first mortgage loan originated under the FHA lending program
      and insured by HUD (collectively the "Insured Mortgages"). The FHA first
      mortgage or the first mortgage underlying the GNMA security provided the
      borrower (generally a limited partnership) with a below market interest
      rate loan in exchange for providing the Trust with participation in a
      percentage of the cash generated from property operations and in a
      percentage of any appreciation of the underlying property to a preferred
      return, then a percentage of any appreciation thereafter. The borrower
      conveys these rights to the Trust through a subordinated promissory note
      and mortgage. In addition, the Trust made an Additional Loan to the owners
      of the borrower to provide additional funds for the construction and
      permanent financing of the property. The owners generally collateralize
      the Additional Loan through a pledge and security agreement that pledges
      their ownership interests in the borrower, and their share of any
      distributions made from surplus cash generated by the property and the
      proceeds realized upon the refinancing of the property, sale of the
      property or sale of the partnership interests. Amounts payable under the
      Additional Loan are neither guaranteed nor insured.

      The Trust receives level monthly principal and interest ("Basic Interest")
      payments amortizing over thirty to forty years on the Insured Mortgage,
      and is entitled to receive participation income under the subordinated
      promissory note and mortgage, and semi-annual interest payments
      ("Additional Loan Interest") and preferred interest under the Additional
      Loan ("Preferred Interest"). The Trust receives principal and interest
      payments on the Insured Mortgages currently, because these payments are
      insured or guaranteed; however, there are limitations to the amount and
      obligation to pay participation income, Additional Loan Interest and
      Preferred Interest.

      The subordinated promissory note and mortgage entitles the Trust to
      receive (i) Participating Income Interest generally equal to 50% of (a)
      all distributable Surplus Cash (as defined in the regulatory agreement of
      the HUD-insured first mortgage) generated by the property (b) any
      unrestricted cash generated from property operations and (c) to the extent
      available, unexpended reserves and escrows, and (ii) Participating
      Appreciation Interest generally equal to 50% of the net proceeds or value
      of the property upon the sale, refinancing, maturity or accelerated
      maturity, or permitted prepayment of all amounts due under the Insured
      Mortgage and Additional Loan less the Outstanding Indebtedness, as
      defined. Amounts received by the Trust pursuant to the subordinated
      promissory note as Participating Income Interest reduce amounts payable as
      Preferred Interest and may reduce amounts payable as Base Interest under
      the Additional Loan.

      The Insured Mortgage and subordinated promissory note generally have
      maturities of 30 to 40 years, however, under the subordinated promissory
      note the Trust can generally accelerate these maturity dates at any time
      after the tenth anniversary of final endorsement for coinsurance or
      insurance, but in certain cases for construction loans after the eleventh
      or twelfth anniversary of initial endorsement (commencement of
      construction) for coinsurance or insurance, upon giving twelve months
      written notice for the payment of all accrued participation interest
      through the accelerated maturity date. The Trust can accelerate the
      maturity date for payment of amounts due under the subordinated promissory
      note and the insured mortgage if the contract of insurance or coinsurance
      with the Secretary of HUD on the insured mortgage is canceled prior to the
      accelerated maturity date.

      Additional Loan Interest is payable from the following sources: (i) any
      Surplus Cash received pursuant to the subordinated promissory note as
      Participating Income Interest, (ii) amounts conveyed to the Trust by the
      owners of the borrowing entity representing distributions of Surplus Cash
      and (iii) amounts in reserve accounts established with the Additional Loan
      proceeds, if available, and any interest earned on these amounts. If these
      sources are not sufficient to make Additional Loan Interest payments, the
      owners of the borrowing entity must notify the Trust of the amount of the
      shortfall and at its option the Trust could require a capital call from
      the owners of the borrowing entity. The capital call would be equal to 50%
      of the Additional Loan Interest shortfall and the Trust in certain
      situations could convert the remaining 50% into an operating loan.

      In addition to the Additional Loan Interest payments, the Additional Loan
      requires the payment of Preferred Interest representing a cumulative,
      non-compounded preferred return from the date of final endorsement to the
      date of calculation at interest rates ranging from 9.5% to 11% per annum
      on the outstanding balance of the Insured Mortgage plus the Additional
      Loan and any other funds advanced by the Trust to the borrowing entity or
      the owners of the borrowing entity

      less: (i) interest payments, paid to the Trust under the Insured Mortgage,
      (ii) Participating Income Interest and (iii) Additional Loan Interest
      payments made under the Additional Loan.

      The Insured Mortgage and subordinated promissory note generally cannot be
      prepaid for a term of five years from the construction completion date or
      final endorsement and thereafter may be prepaid in whole without penalty
      provided all participation interest and amounts under the Insured Mortgage
      are paid. Any prepayment requires not less than ninety nor more than 180
      days prior written notice.

      The Additional Loan generally may not be prepaid before the fifth
      anniversary of the Agreement or the construction completion date and
      thereafter may be prepaid in full without penalty provided Preferred
      Interest and any amounts due under the Insured Mortgage and subordinated
      promissory note are paid in full.

      On May 30, 2003, the Trust received a prepayment of the Windward Lakes
      Apartments Subordinated Promissory Note and the Windward Lakes Apartments
      Additional Loan. The Trust received $2,471,294 of Additional Loan
      principal, $970,575 of Additional Loan interest, $719,682 of Shared
      Appreciation Interest and $684,291 of accrued interest from the workout
      agreement that expired in 2000. On June 16, 2003, the Trust received
      $13,301,440 in principal proceeds on the first mortgage note. In addition,
      the Trust recognized $373,757 of Additional Loan interest that had been
      previously received and recorded as deferred income on the Additional
      Loan. On July 24, 2003, the Trust paid a special dividend of $1.22 per
      share from the proceeds of the Windward Lakes prepayment.

      On March 12, 2003, the Trust sold the Lifestyles Ginnie Mae MBS at par for
      $9,746,038 to the borrower of the Lifestyles PIMI. Concurrently, the
      borrower paid off the full amount due on the Additional Loan of
      $1,817,665. In addition, the Trust recognized $343,659 of Additional Loan
      interest previously received and recorded as deferred income on the
      Additional Loan. On May 7, 2003, the Trust paid a special dividend of
      $0.77 per share from the proceeds of the Lifestyles Apartments PIMI.

      On January 3, 2002, the Trust received $18,330,825 representing the
      principal proceeds on the first mortgage loan from the Red Run PIMI plus
      $120,296 of interest on the first mortgage loan. On December 31, 2001 the
      Trust received a prepayment of the Red Run Additional Loan and
      Subordinated Promissory Note. The Trust received $2,900,000 of Additional
      Loan Principal, $238,369 of Shared Appreciation Interest, $3,506,952 of
      Preferred Interest and $67,667 of Base Interest on the Additional Loan. On
      January 16, 2002, the Trust paid a special dividend of $1.68 per share
      from the proceeds of the Red Run PIMI prepayment.

      Mountain View has experienced problems due to competitive market
      conditions. In June 1999, the Trust approved a second workout of the
      Mountain View. Under its terms, the Trust agreed to reduce the effective
      interest rate on the insured first mortgage by 1.25% retroactively for
      1999 and each year thereafter until 2004, and to change the loan's
      participation terms. The workout eliminated the preferred return feature,
      forgave $288,580 of previous accruals of Additional Loan interest related
      to the first workout, and changed the Trust's participation in Surplus
      Cash generated by the property and its application towards Additional Loan
      interest. The Trust will receive 75% of the first $130,667 of Surplus Cash
      and 50% of any remaining Surplus Cash on an annual basis to pay Additional
      Loan interest. Unpaid Additional Loan interest related to the second
      workout will accrue and be payable if there are sufficient proceeds from a
      sale or refinancing of the property. In addition, the borrower repaid
      $153,600 of the Additional Loan and funded approximately $54,000 to a
      reserve for property improvements.

      The Mountain View Additional Loan was scheduled to mature in September
      2003. When the trust entered into the second workout agreement in June
      1999, it was the Trust's intention to extend the maturity date of the
      Additional Loan to coincide with the expiration date of the interest
      rebate in December of 2004. While reviewing the existing Additional Loan
      Agreement, the Advisor noted that the maturity date of the Additional Loan
      was not updated at the time of the second workout agreement. On September
      8, 2003, the Advisor entered into a third modification with the borrower
      to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2004 to correct this
      oversight.

      During 2002 and 2003, operating results at Mountain View have
      deteriorated. A building with 20 three-bedroom apartments was out of
      service for 18 months as a result of a fire in 2001. Reconstruction work
      necessitated by the fire was completed in mid-2002, with insurance
      proceeds covering the total cost of the restoration and a portion of the
      rental income. Additionally, occupancy in the remaining units has been
      affected by local economic conditions. These factors have made the rental
      market much more competitive for apartment owners, and the use of
      concessions to attract potential renters has increased throughout the
      market. Consequently, rental income was down in 2002 and did not improve
      in 2003. At the same time, both insurance costs and real estate taxes have
      increased dramatically, further deteriorating operating results. As a
      result of the factors described above, the Trust maintains a valuation
      allowance for Mountain View of $1,032,617. Between the valuation allowance
      and the related deferred income on Additional Loans liability account, the
      Mountain View additional loan has been effectively fully reserved.

      At December 31, 2003 and 2002 there are no PIMIs within the Trust's
      portfolio that are delinquent as to principal or interest.

      Impaired Additional Loans

      The Advisor of the Trust has determined that the Mountain View Additional
      Loan is impaired. As a result, during 1998, a valuation allowance of
      $984,000 was established to adjust the carrying amount of the loan to the
      then estimated fair market value of the collateral less anticipated costs
      of sale. During 1999, the Trust increased the valuation allowance of
      Mountain View by $48,272. The Trust will reflect interest receipts as
      reductions to the carrying amount of the loan and the valuation allowance
      until the valuation allowance is zero. The Trust did not receive any
      interest payments or recognize any income on the Mountain View Additional
      Loan during 2003, 2002 or 2001.

      The activity in the valuation allowance together with the related recorded
      and carrying value of the mortgage loans is as follows:

Property Description:

Mountain View Apartments ("Mountain View") is a 256-unit apartment complex
located in Madison, Alabama.

D.    PIMs

      At December 31, 2003 the Trust had no investments in PIMs. On December 31,
      2002, the trust had investments in two PIMs. The Trust's PIMs consisted of
      a sole participation interest in a HUD-insured first mortgage loan
      originated under the FHA lending program (the "Insured Mortgages"), and
      participation interests in the revenue stream and appreciation of the
      underlying property above specified base levels. The borrower conveyed
      these participation features to the Trust generally through a subordinated
      promissory note and mortgage (the "Agreements").

      On March 27, 2003, the Trust received a prepayment of the Rivergreens
      Apartments Subordinated Promissory Note. The Trust received $547,978 of
      Shared Appreciation Interest and $383,297 of Minimum Additional Interest.
      On April 10, 2003, the Trust received $9,500,670 representing the
      principal proceeds on the first mortgage loan from the Rivergreens
      Apartments PIM. On May 9, 2003, the Trust paid a special dividend of $0.70
      per share from the proceeds of the Rivergreens Apartments PIM prepayment.

      On January 21, 2003, the Trust received a prepayment of the Mill Pond I
      PIM of $7,430,727 representing the principal proceeds on the first
      mortgage. The underlying property value did not increase sufficiently to
      meet the criteria for the Trust to earn any participating interest. On May
      5, 2003, the Trust paid a special dividend of $0.50 per share from the
      proceeds of the Mill Pond I PIM.

F.    Shareholders' Equity

      Under the Declaration of Trust and commencing with the initial closing of
      the public offering of shares, the Trust has declared and paid dividends
      on a quarterly basis. During the period in which the Trust qualifies as a
      REIT, the Trust has and will pay quarterly dividends aggregating at least
      90% of taxable income on an annual basis to be allocated to the
      shareholders in proportion to their respective number of shares.

      In order for the Trust to maintain its REIT status with respect to the
      requirements of Share ownership, the Declaration of Trust prohibits any
      investor from owning, directly or indirectly, more than 9.8% of the
      outstanding Shares unless an exemption is granted by the Trustees and
      empowers the Trustees to refuse to permit any transfer of Shares which, in
      their opinion, would jeopardize the status of the Trust as a REIT.

      On August 22, 2002, the Trustees agreed to waive the ownership limit to
      allow affiliates of the Advisor to own up to 55% of the outstanding shares
      of the Trust. The affiliates delivered an opinion of counsel to the effect
      that this waiver will not cause the Trust to lose its status as a REIT. In
      connection with this waiver, the affiliates also agreed to not take any
      action to cause the Trust to cease to be a reporting company under the
      Exchange Act or to cause a majority of the board of trustees to no longer
      be comprised of independent trustees. They also agreed not to solicit,
      seek to effect, negotiate with or provide any information to any other
      party with the intent of effecting a business combination with the Trust
      without the approval of a majority of the board of trustees. In April of
      2003, BIR acquired 30.76% of the outstanding shares of the Trust.

G.    Related Party Transactions

      Under the terms of the Advisory Service Agreement, the Advisor receives an
      Asset Management Fee equal to .75% per annum of the value of the Trust's
      actual and committed invested assets payable quarterly. The Trust also
      reimburses affiliates of the Advisor for certain costs incurred in
      connection with maintaining the books and records of the Trust, the
      preparation and mailing of financial reports, tax information and other
      communications to investors and legal fees and expenses. Included in
      general and administrative expenses are legal fees and expenses paid by
      the Trust to an affiliate of $23,274, $20,851 and $12,033, for the years
      ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

      The Trust received interest collections on Additional Loans with
      affiliates of the advisor of $155,738 in 2001. In addition, the Trust
      received $3,431,133 in 2001 related to participation interest income on
      these same loans.

H.    Original Shares

      Upon termination of the Trust, an affiliate of the Advisor is committed to
      pay to holders of Original Shares the amount (if any) by which (a) the
      Shareholders' Original Investments exceed (b) all Dividends (as defined in
      the prospectus) paid by the Trust with respect to such Original Shares.
      Original Shares are those Shares purchased during the Trust's initial
      public offering either through purchase or through the dividend
      reinvestment program and held until the last mortgage held by the Trust is
      repaid or disposed of.

      The Trust paid dividends of $3.58 per share during 2003, which represents
      approximately $0.01 from ordinary income and $3.57 represents a
      non-taxable distribution for federal income tax purposes.

      The basis of the Trust's assets for financial reporting purposes is less
      than its tax basis by approximately $1,689,000 and $5,576,000 at December
      31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The basis of the Trust's liabilities for
      financial reporting purposes exceeded its tax basis by approximately
      $367,000 and $1,351,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

J.    Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments

      The Trust uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair
      value of each class of financial instruments:

      Cash and Cash Equivalents

      The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity
      of those instruments.

J.    Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments, continued

      MBS

      The Trust estimates the fair value of MBS based on quoted market prices.
      Based on the estimated fair value determined using these methods and
      assumptions the Trust's investments in MBS had gross unrealized gains of
      approximately $100,000 at December 31, 2003 and $452,000 at December 31,
      2002.

      PIMs and PIMIs

      There is no active trading market for these investments. Accordingly,
      management estimated the fair value of the PIMs and estimates the insured
      mortgage portion of the PIMIs using quoted market prices of MBS having the
      same stated coupon rate as the Insured Mortgages and similar expected
      maturity date. Additional Loans are based on the lower of the estimated
      collection value of the loan or the remaining principal balance of the
      loan as an estimate of the fair value of the loan is not practicable.
      Management does not include any participation income in the Trust's
      estimated fair values, as Management does not believe it can predict the
      amount or timing of realization of any such feature with any certainty.
      Based on the estimated fair value determined using these methods and
      assumptions, the Trust's remaining PIMI did not have any gross unrealized
      gains or losses at December 31, 2003. The Trust's investments in PIMs and
      PIMIs had gross unrealized gains of approximately $2,832,000 at December
      31, 2002.

      At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Trust estimated the fair value of its
      financial instruments as follows:
