                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    Accounting Policies

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
      generally accepted in the United States of America 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"), which is
      the advisor to Krupp Government Income Trust (the "Trust"), the
      disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information
      presented not misleading. See Notes to Financial Statements in the Trust's
      Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 for additional information
      relevant to significant accounting policies followed by the Trust.

      In the opinion of the Advisor of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited
      financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal
      recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Trust's financial
      position as of March 31, 2002 and the results of its operations and its
      cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.

      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.

      On January 2, 2002, the Trust received a prepayment of the Waterford

    the three months ended March 31, 2001.




Item 2.  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 report on Form 10-Q
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  March  31,  2002,  the  Trust  had  liquidity  consisting  of cash  and cash
equivalents of  approximately  $5.6 million as well as the cash inflows provided
by PIMs,  PIMIs, MBS and 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  demands on the Trust's  liquidity are quarterly  dividends
paid to investors of approximately $2.6 million and special dividends. 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.  The current
dividend  rate is $.17  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 Trustees 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,  the Trust's investments in PIMs and PIMIs also may provide additional
income through the interest on the Additional  Loan portion of the PIMIs 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 properties. However,
these payments are neither guaranteed nor insured and depend upon the successful
operations of the underlying properties.

On January 3, 2002, the Trust received  $18,330,825  representing  the principal
proceeds on the first  mortgage loan from the Red Run PIMI. 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.

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.



The three remaining PIMI  investments all operate under workout  agreements with
the Trust.  Those  agreements  have modified the borrowers'  obligations to make
Additional Loan interest payments,  regardless of whether the property generated
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 period
ending  December 31,  2001,  Mountain  View did not  generate any Surplus  Cash,
although  both  Windward  Lakes and  Lifestyles  did generate some Surplus Cash.
However,  due to the need to complete capital  projects at both properties,  the
Trust agreed that the Surplus Cash generated by the two  properties  will not be
used to pay Additional Loan interest. Consequently, the Trust does not expect to
receive any Additional Loan interest  during 2002.  Beginning in 2002, the Trust
has amortized and recognized  Additional  Loan income  previously  deferred with
respect to Windward Lakes as the property generated Surplus Cash during 2001.

Windward  Lakes'  operating  results  deteriorated  during 1995 and 1996, and in
early 1997 the independent  Trustees approved a workout with the borrower of the
Windward  Lakes PIMI, an affiliate of the Advisor of the Trust.  In the workout,
the Trust  agreed to reduce the  effective  basic  interest  rate on the insured
first  mortgage  by 2% per annum  for 1997 and 1% per  annum for 1998,  1999 and
2000. The borrower made an equity  contribution  of $133,036 to the property and
agreed to cap the annual  management fee paid to an affiliate at 3% of revenues.
The Trust's  participation  in current  operations is 50% of any Surplus Cash as
determined under HUD guidelines, and the Additional Loan interest is payable out
of its share of Surplus Cash.  Any unpaid  Additional  Loan interest  accrues at
7.5% per annum. When the property is sold or refinanced,  the Trust will receive
50% of any net proceeds  remaining after repayment of the insured mortgage,  the
Additional  Loan, the interest rate relief,  accrued and unpaid  Additional Loan
interest and the Borrower's equity up to the point that the Trust has received a
cumulative,  non-compounded  10% preferred return on its investment in the PIMI.
The Additional Loan matures in July of 2002. The Trust  anticipates that another
workout  agreement  will be  negotiated  with the borrower  that will extend the
maturity date.

In May 1998, the borrower on the  Lifestyles  PIMI defaulted on its debt service
payment on the insured  first  mortgage.  The Trust agreed to a new workout that
runs through  2007.  Under its terms,  the Trust agreed to reduce the  effective
interest rate on the insured first mortgage by 1.75%  retroactively  for 1998 to
clear the default,  by 1.75% for 1999,  and by 1.5% each year  thereafter  until
2007. An affiliate of the Advisor  refunds  approximately  .25% per annum to the
Trust related to the interest  reduction.  The borrower  made a $550,000  equity
contribution,  which was  escrowed,  for the  exclusive  purpose  of  correcting
deferred maintenance and making capital improvements to the property. The escrow
has been used up for paint, building repairs, parking lot repairs, a new fitness
facility,  clubhouse  remodeling  and  landscaping.  Any  Surplus  Cash  that is
generated by property  operations will be split evenly between the Trust and the
borrower.  When the property is sold or refinanced,  the first $1,100,000 of any
proceeds  remaining  after the insured  mortgage is paid off will be split 50% /
50% between the Trust and the borrower;  the next $1,690,220 of proceeds will be
split 75% to the Trust and 25% to the borrower;  and any remaining proceeds will
be split 50% / 50%. The borrower's new equity and the reduction in the effective
interest rate on the insured first  mortgage have provided funds for repairs and
improvements  that  have  helped  reposition  Lifestyles.  As a  result  of  the
performance  of the property,  the Trust had  initially  established a valuation
allowance of $1,130,346 on the Additional  Loan in 1998.  During 2001, the Trust
received  a  payment  of  $118,968  which was  recorded  as a  reduction  in the
principal balance of the Additional Loan and related impairment provision. Based
on improved  market  conditions and property  operations,  the Trust has further
reduced the  impairment  provision by $344,839 to $666,539 in the fourth quarter
of 2001.

Mountain  View is similar to  Lifestyles  with  respect  to  competitive  market
conditions.  In June 1999, the Trust approved a second workout that runs through
2004. 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  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.  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. As a result
of the factors described above, the Advisor  determined that the Additional Loan
collateralized by the Mountain View asset was impaired and currently maintains a
valuation allowance of $1,032,272.

Whether the  operating  performance  at any of the  properties  mentioned  above
provide  sufficient  cash flow from operations to pay either the Additional Loan
interest  or  participation  income  will  depend on factors  that the Trust has
little  or no  control  over.  Should  the  properties  be  unable  to  generate
sufficient  cash flow to pay the Additional  Loan interest,  it would reduce the
Trust's  distributable  cash flow and could  affect the value of the  Additional
Loan collateral.



There are  contractual  restrictions  on the  repayment  of the PIMs and  PIMIs.
During the first five years of the  investment,  borrowers are  prohibited  from
repayment.  During the  second  five  years,  the PIM  borrowers  can prepay the
insured  first  mortgage  by paying the greater of a  prepayment  premium or the
participation due at the time of the prepayment.  Similarly,  the PIMI borrowers
can prepay the insured first mortgage and the Additional  Loan by satisfying the
Preferred Return obligation. The participation features and Additional Loans are
neither  insured nor  guaranteed.  If the  prepayment of the PIM or 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.

The Trust has the option to call certain PIMs and all the PIMIs by  accelerating
their  maturity if the loans are not  prepaid by the tenth year after  permanent
funding. The Advisor will determine the merits of exercising the call option for
each PIM and 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 primarily to revenue recognition
related to the participation features of the Trust's PIM and PIMI investments as
well as the recognition of deferred interest income on the Additional Loans. The
Trust's policies are as follows:

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")
or Fannie Mae 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 consummated.  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.

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.

Results of Operations

Net income of the Trust  decreased  for the first quarter of 2002 as compared to
the same period in 2001 due to  decreases in basic  interest  income on PIMs and
PIMIs and  Additional  Loan  interest.  This decrease is partially  offset by an
increase in  participation  interest  and a decrease in asset  management  fees.
Basic interest  income on PIMs and PIMIs  decreased due primarily to the payoffs
of the Season's and Red Run PIMIs in 2001 and the Waterford PIM in January 2002.
Additional Loan interest decreased due to the payoffs mentioned above net of the
amortization  of  deferred  revenue  from  the  Windward  Lakes  PIMI  in  2002.
Participation interest increased due to the collection of interest received from
the payoff of the Waterford PIM in January 2002. Asset management fees decreased
due primarily to the payoffs mentioned above.

Item 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- -------

Assessment of Credit Risk

The Trust's  investments in insured  mortgages and MBS are guaranteed or insured
by Fannie Mae, 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.

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 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,  ability to
maintain the properties and obtain adequate insurance coverage.  Operations also
may be effected by 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  $5.4 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 March 31, 2002,
the Trust's  PIMs,  PIMIs and MBS comprise  the majority of the Trust's  assets.
Decreases  in  interest  rates may  accelerate  the  prepayment  of the  Trust's
investments.  The Trust does not utilize any derivatives or other instruments to
manage this risk as the Trust plans to hold all of its  investments  to expected
maturity.

The Trust  monitors  prepayments  and considers  prepayment  trends,  as well as
distribution  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 PIMs and
PIMIs, the Trust incorporates prepayment assumptions into planning as individual
properties notify the Trust of the intent to prepay or as they mature.

         (a)    Distributable Cash Flow consists of income before provision for
                impaired mortgage loans, amortization of prepaid fees and
                expenses and organization costs and includes deferred interest
                on Additional Loans. The Trust believes Distributable Cash Flow
                is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance,
                however, it should not be considered as a substitute for net
                income as an indication of operating performance or cash flows
                as a measure of liquidity.

         (b)    Represents all dividends paid through March 2002 except the
                February 2002 quarterly dividend and $1.68 special dividend paid
                in January 2002 for Red Run. Includes an estimate of the May
                2002 quarterly dividend.

         (c)    Includes as estimate of the May 2002 quarterly dividend.

         (d)    Shareholders average per Share return of capital on a cash basis
                as of March 2002 is $11.07 [$22.55 - $11.48]. Return of capital
                represents that portion of the dividends which is not funded
                from DCF such as principal collections received from MBS and
                PIMs.
