                       QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT CHANGES
                            BEING MADE TO THE OFFERS

WHAT CHANGES ARE BEING MADE TO THE OFFERS?

                  We are changing the number of Interests in each mortgage fund
that we are seeking in our offers. Specifically, we are increasing the number of
Interests we are seeking in Krupp Government Income Trust (GIT), Krupp
Government Income Trust II (GIT II) and Krupp Insured Plus Limited Partnership
(KIP), and decreasing the number of Interests we are seeking in Krupp Insured
Mortgage Limited Partnership (KIM), Krupp Insured Plus II Limited Partnership
(KIP II) and Krupp Insured Plus III Limited Partnership (KIP III).

WHY ARE YOU MAKING THESE CHANGES?

                  We were previously offering to exchange Preferred Shares for
up to approximately 30% of the outstanding Interests in each of the mortgage
funds. So far, we have received or expect to receive more than 30% of the
Interests in some of the mortgage funds but less than 30% of the Interests in
the other mortgage funds. Because we want to be able to accept all of the
Interests that have been tendered, we are changing the number of Interests of
each mortgage fund that we are seeking to exchange for our Preferred Shares.

HOW DO THESE CHANGES AFFECT ME?

                  These changes mean that we will likely not have to apply our
proration procedures to the offers. If that is the case, we will be able to
accept all of the Interests validly tendered by you.



IF I HAVE ALREADY TENDERED MY INTERESTS, DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THESE
CHANGES?

                  No. You do not have to take any action in response to these
changes. These changes should have no effect on any valid tender of your
Interests that you have previously made to us.

IF I HAVEN'T TENDERED MY INTERESTS YET, CAN I STILL DO SO?

                  Yes. You can still exchange your Interests for our Preferred
Shares by completing the Letter of Transmittal that was sent to you with the
prospectus. If you need another copy of the Letter of Transmittal, you can get
one by calling us at 1-800-255-7877 or by downloading one from our website at
www.kruppfunds.com.

DID YOU EXPECT YOU WOULD BE MAKING THESE CHANGES WHEN YOU COMMENCED THE OFFERS?

                  Yes. We anticipated that we might make these changes, and
described them in our prospectus.

ARE YOU MAKING ANY OTHER CHANGES TO THE OFFERS?

                  We are also extending the expiration date of our offers to
April 2, 2003. Because we are changing the number of Interests in each mortgage
fund that we are seeking in our offers, we are required to also extend the
expiration date of our offers.

DO YOU EXPECT TO EXTEND THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE OFFERS AGAIN?

                  No. We do not expect to further extend the expiration date
(although unforeseen circumstances may require that we do so).

WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION THAT THE TENDER OF MY INTERESTS HAS
BEEN ACCEPTED BY YOU?

                  If we complete the offers, our transfer agent anticipates that
it will begin mailing confirmations of acceptances shortly after completion. We
currently expect mailing of these confirmations to begin on or about April 7,
2003.

WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THE PREFERRED SHARES TO BEGIN TRADING ON THE AMEX?

                  If we complete the offers as planned, we expect the Preferred
Shares to begin trading on the AMEX on or about the second week of April 2003.
