PART I

This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. 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 Insured Mortgage Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a
Massachusetts limited partnership which was formed on March 21, 1988. The
Partnership raised approximately $299 million through a public offering of
limited partner interests evidenced by units of depositary receipts
("Units"), and used the proceeds available for investment primarily to
acquire participating insured mortgages ("PIMs") and mortgage-backed
securities ("MBS"). The Partnership considers itself to be engaged only in
the industry segment of investment in mortgages.

The Partnership's investments in PIMs on multi-family residential
properties consist of a MBS or an insured mortgage loan (collectively, the
"insured mortgage") guaranteed or insured as to principal and basic
interest. These insured mortgages were issued or originated under or in
connection with the housing programs of the Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or the
Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). PIMs provide the
Partnership with monthly payments of principal and basic interest and also
may provide the Partnership with participation in the current revenue
stream and in residual value, if any, from the sale or other realization of
the underlying property. The borrower conveys these rights to the
Partnership through a subordinated promissory note and mortgage.
The participation features are neither insured nor guaranteed.

The Partnership also acquired MBS collateralized by single-family
mortgage loans issued or originated by FNMA or the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). FNMA and FHLMC guarantee the principal and
basic interest of the Partnership's FNMA and FHLMC MBS, respectively.

Prior to May 23, 1995 the Partnership could reinvest or commit for
reinvestment principal proceeds or other realization of the mortgages in
new mortgages. Subsequently, proceeds received from prepayments or other
realizations of mortgage assets have been and will continue to be
distributed by the Partnership to investors through quarterly or possibly
special distributions.

Although the Partnership will terminate no later than December 31, 2028,
the value of the PIMs may be realized by the Partnership through repayment
or sale as early as ten years from the dates of the closing of the
permanent loans and the Partnership may realize the value of all its other
investments within that time frame. Therefore, it is anticipated that
dissolution of the Partnership could occur significantly prior to December
31, 2028.

The Partnership's investments are not expected to be subject to seasonal
fluctuations. However, the future performance of the Partnership will
depend upon certain factors which cannot be predicted. In addition, any
ultimate realization of the participation features of the PIMs will be
subject to similar risks associated with equity real estate investments,
including: reliance on the owner's operating skills, ability to maintain
occupancy levels, control operating expenses, maintain the property and
provide adequate insurance coverage; adverse changes in general economic
conditions, adverse local conditions, and changes in governmental regula-
tions, real estate zoning laws, or tax laws; and other circumstances over
which the Partnership may have little or no control.


The requirements for compliance with federal, state and local
regulations to date have not had an adverse effect on the Partnership's
operations, and the Partnership does not presently anticipate adverse
effect in the future.

As of December 31, 1997, there were no personnel directly employed by the
Partnership.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

None.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Partnership
is a party or to which any of its securities is the subject.

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

None.

PART II

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

There currently is no established trading market for the Units.

The number of investors holding Units as of December 31, 1997 was
approximately 14,600. One of the objectives of the Partnership is to
provide quarterly distributions of cash flow generated by its investments
in mortgages. The Partnership presently anticipates that future operations
will continue to generate cash available for distribution.

During 1997, the Partnership made special distributions consisting
primarily of principal proceeds from the Rock Creek, Silver Spring, and
Hampton Ridge Apartments PIM prepayments. The Partnership will make special
distributions in the future as PIMs prepay or a sufficient amount of cash
is available from MBS and PIM principal collections.

During 1996, the Partnership made a special distribution consisting
primarily of principal proceeds from the Water View and Tarnhill Apartments
PIM prepayments.

The Partnership made distributions to its Partners during the two years
ended December 31, 1997 as follows:

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

Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations contains forward-looking statements including those
concerning Management s expectations regarding the future financial
performance and future events. These forward-looking statements involve
significant risks and uncertainties, including those described herein.
Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by
such forward-looking statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The most significant demands on the Partnership's liquidity are regular
quarterly distributions paid to investors of approximately $4.5 million.
Funds used for investor distributions are generated from interest income
received on the PIMs, MBS, cash and short-term investments, and
the principal collections received on the PIMs and MBS. The Partnership
funds a portion of the distribution from principal collections and, as a
result, the capital resources of the Partnership will continually
decrease. As a result of this decrease, the total cash inflows to the
Partnership will also decrease, which will result in periodic
adjustments to the distributions paid to investors.

The General Partners periodically review the distribution rate to determine
whether an adjustment to the distribution rate is necessary based
on projected future cash flows. In general, the General Partners try to
set a distribution rate that provides for level quarterly distributions
of cash available for distribution. To the extent quarterly distributions
do not fully utilize the cash available for distribution and cash
balances increase, the General Partners may adjust the distribution
rate or distribute such funds through a special distribution.





Four properties with loans underlying the Partnership's PIM investments
were either sold or refinanced during 1997. A fifth PIM was converted to
an insured mortgage when the participation feature was released. A sixth
PIM was paid off after the borrower defaulted on its first mortgage
obligations. One property that was sold had increased in value since the
Partnership made its initial investment in the PIM and paid Shared
Appreciation Interest based on that increase in value. The other three
properties that were sold or refinanced did not increase in value
sufficiently to reach the threshold necessary for the Partnership to earn
Shared Appreciation Interest when they were sold or refinanced. However,
the payoff transactions on two of these three properties generated enough
value so that the Partnership received all accrued Additional Interest
earned on property operations in prior years and full prepayment penalties
equal to 9% of the principal repayment in lieu of Shared Appreciation
Interest. The General Partners accepted negotiated settlements on the
other two properties that were sold or refinanced because of value
constraints.
During the first quarter of 1997, the Partnership received the full $11.1
million principal repayment of the Rock Creek Springs PIM. Fannie Mae, as
the guarantor of the MBS underlying the Partnership's PIM, exercised its
right to retire the security when the first mortgage went into default.
The Partnership made a $.75 per unit special distribution on March 21, 1997
with the proceeds from the PIM repayment.

During the second quarter of 1997, the Partnership received a $7.2 million
principal repayment of the Silver Spring PIM when the property was sold.
In addition to the principal repayment, the Partnership received $41,000 of
accrued Additional Interest and a $652,000 prepayment penalty. The
Partnership made a $.53 per unit special distribution on May 23, 1997 with
the proceeds of the PIM repayment. In addition during the quarter, The
Patrician was sold, and the value of the property failed to appreciate
beyond the threshold above which the Partnership would have earned Shared
Appreciation Interest. In order to facilitate the sale transaction, the
General Partners agreed to the assumption of the first mortgage loan by the
purchaser and required a $100,000 settlement to release the participation
features of the PIM and convert its investment into an insured mortgage.


-6-


During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Partnership received a $9.1 million
principal repayment of the Hampton Ridge PIM when the owner refinanced the
property. In addition to the principal repayment, the Partnership received
$249,000 of accrued Additional Interest and a $508,000 prepayment penalty.
The value of the property had not increased beyond the base threshold above
which the Partnership would earn any Shared Appreciation Interest.
Consequently, the General Partners accepted the repayment of the loan in
1997 while the interest rate environment facilitated a favorable
refinancing of the property and agreed to a 5% prepayment penalty. The
Partnership made a $.64 per unit special distribution on November 21, 1997
with the proceeds of the PIM repayment.

During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Partnership also received the
principal repayments of the Paddock Club and Southland Station PIM's
together totaling $15.2 million when those properties were sold. In
addition to the principal repayments, the Partnership received a total of
$380,000 of accrued Additional Interest from both properties and $565,000
of Shared Appreciation Interest on Southland Station and a $895,000
prepayment penalty on Paddock Club. The Partnership paid a $1.12 per unit
special distribution in January 1998 with the proceeds of these two PIM
repayments.

During 1996 and 1997, the Partnership received significant prepayments on
its PIMs. Due to this, the General Partners reviewed the Partnership's
liquidity needs and determined that the regular distribution rate should be
adjusted to $.84 per Unit per year (approximately $12.5 million per year
and $3.14 million per quarter) commencing with the May 1998 distribution.
The General Partners expect to periodically adjust the distribution rate as
mortgage proceeds are received and subsequently distributed to the Limited
Partners while also maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet the
Partnership's anticipated needs. The General Partners will continue to
monitor the appropriateness of this distribution rate in the future and
will adjust it as necessary.

For the first five years of the PIMs the borrowers are prohibited from
repaying.
For the second five years, the borrower can repay the loans incurring a
prepayment penalty. The Partnership has the option to call certain PIMs by
accelerating their maturity, if the loans are not prepaid by the tenth year
after permanent funding. The Partnership will determine the merits of
exercising the call option for each PIM as economic conditions warrant.
Such factors as the condition of the asset, local market conditions,
interest rates and available financing will have an impact on this
decision.

Assessment of Credit Risk

The Partnership's investments in mortgages are guaranteed or insured by
FNMA, GNMA, FHLMC or 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.
FNMA 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 represent interests 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.

Operations

The following discussion relates to the operation of the Partnership
during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.




(Amounts in thousands) 1997 1996 1995


Interest income on PIMs:

Base interest $10,887 $ 12,953 $14,555
Participation interest 3,710 1,176 677
Interest income on MBS 1,493 1,498 1,778
Other interest income 589 413 316
Partnership expenses (1,574) (1,655) (2,073)
Amortization of prepaid fees and
expenses (2,917) (3,013) (1,983)

Net income $12,188 $11,372 $13,270




Net income increased during 1997 as compared to 1996 by approximately
$816,000 due primarily to prepayment penalty income and participation
interest received from the Hampton Ridge, Silver Spring, Paddock Club and
Southland Station Apartment PIMs. As a result of the four above mentioned
repayments and the Rock Creek PIM prepayment by FNMA, base interest
decreased approximately $2,066,000 or 16%. An increase in Participation
Income of $2,534,000 was primarily a result of receiving shared
appreciation income, accrued additional interest and prepayment penalties
from the prepayment of the Silver Springs, Hampton Ridge, Southland and
Paddock Club Apartment PIMs totaling $3,389,000 and $321,000 of additional
interest from five of the Partnerships other PIMs. Other interest income
increased in 1997 as compared to 1996 due to the short-term investment of
the proceeds from the prepayments until such funds were ultimately
distributed to the investors. Partnership expenses have decreased when
comparing 1997 to 1996 and 1996 to 1995, due primarily to lower asset
management fees.

Net income decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995 by approximately
$1,898,000 due primarily to a reduction in base interest in PIMs as a
result of prepayments of the Water View and Tarnhill Apartments PIMs and
interest rate reductions on the Crosscreek Apartments and Remington Place
Apartments PIMs. Interest income on MBS decreased $280,000 in 1996 as
compared to 1995, because principal collections reduced the outstanding
principal balance of the Partnership s MBS investments. These items were
offset by an increase in participation income of $499,000 which was
primarily the result of receiving shared appreciation income from the
prepayment of the Tarnhill Apartments PIM of $983,000, net of a decrease in
shared income and minimal additional interest recorded in 1996 as compared
to 1995 of $484,000. Other interest income increased in 1996 as compared
to 1995 due to the short-term investment of the proceeds from the
prepayments until such funds were ultimately distributed to the investors.
Amortization expense increased for 1996 as compared to 1995 because the
Partnership fully amortized the remaining balances of prepaid fees and
expenses associated with the Water View and Tarnhill Apartments PIM.

KRUPP INSURED MORTGAGE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Organization

Krupp Insured Mortgage Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was
formed on March 21, 1988 by filing a Certificate of Limited
Partnership in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Partnership
issued all of the General Partner Interests to two General Partners
in exchange for capital contributions aggregating $3,000. Krupp
Plus Corporation and Mortgage Services Partners Limited Partnership
are the General Partners of the Partnership and Krupp Depositary
Corporation is the Corporate Limited Partner. Except under certain
limited circumstances upon termination of the Partnership, the
General Partners are not required to make any additional capital
contributions. The Partnership terminates on December 31, 2028,
unless terminated earlier upon the occurrence of certain events as
set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

The Partnership commenced the public offering of Units on July 22,
1988 and completed its public offering on May 23, 1990 having sold
14,956,796 Units for $298,678,321 net of purchase volume discounts
of $457,599.

B. Significant Accounting Policies

The Partnership uses the following accounting policies for financial
reporting purposes, which may differ in certain respects from those
used for federal income tax purposes (see Note G):

MBS

The Partnership, in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board s Special Report on Statement 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" ( FAS 115 ), classifies its MBS portfolio as
available-for-sale. As such the Partnership carries its MBS
at fair market value and reflects any unrealized gains
(losses) as a separate component of Partners' Equity. The
Partnership amortizes purchase premiums or discounts over the
life of the underlying mortgages using the effective interest
method.

PIMs

The Partnership accounts for its MBS portion of a PIM in
accordance with FAS 115 under the classification of held to
maturity. The Partnership carries the Government National
Mortgage Association ( GNMA ) or Federal National Mortgage
Association ( FNMA ) MBS at amortized cost.

The Federal Housing Administration PIMs are carried at
amortized cost unless the General Partners of the Partnership
believe there is an impairment in value, in which case a
valuation allowance would be established in accordance with

F-10



Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and Financial Accounting
Standard No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures.

Basic interest on PIMs is recognized based on the stated rate
of the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") mortgage loan
(less the servicer's fee) or the stated coupon rate of the
GNMA or FNMA MBS. Participation interest is recognized as
earned and when deemed collectible by the Partnership.


Continued

B. Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership includes all short-term investments with
maturities of three months or less from the date of
acquisition in cash and cash equivalents. The Partnership
invests its cash primarily in commercial paper and money
market funds with a commercial bank and has not experienced
any loss to date on its invested cash.

Prepaid Fees and Expenses

Prepaid fees and expenses represent prepaid acquisition fees,
expenses and prepaid participation servicing fees paid for
the acquisition and servicing of PIMs. The Partnership
amortizes prepaid acquisition fees and expenses using a
method that approximates the effective interest method over a
period of ten to twelve years, which represents the actual
maturity or anticipated repayment of the underlying mortgage.
Acquisition expenses incurred on potential acquisitions which
were not consummated were charged to operations.

The Partnership amortizes 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 Department of Housing and Urban Development
("HUD") loan or GNMA loan and at closing if a FNMA loan.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is not liable for federal or state income
taxes as Partnership income is allocated to the partners for
income tax purposes. In the event that the Partnership's tax
returns are examined by the Internal Revenue Service or state
taxing authority and the examination results in a change in
Partnership taxable income, such change will be reported to
the partners.

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

C. PIMs

The Partnership has investments in 14 PIMs. The Partnership's PIMs
consist of (a) a GNMA or FNMA MBS representing the securitized
first mortgage loan on the underlying property or a sole
participation interest in the mortgage loan originated under HUD's
FHA lending program (collectively the "insured mortgages"),and (b)
participation interests in the revenue stream and appreciation of
the underlying property above specified base levels. The borrower
conveys these participation features to the Partnership generally
through a subordinated promissory note and mortgage (the
"Agreement").



F-12







KRUPP INSURED MORTGAGE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued


C.PIMs, continued

The Partnership receives guaranteed monthly payments of principal
and interest on the GNMA and FNMA MBS, and HUD insures the FHA
mortgage loan and the mortgage loan underlying the GNMA MBS. The
borrower usually cannot prepay the first mortgage loan during the
first five years and may prepay the first mortgage loan thereafter
subject to a 9% prepayment penalty in years six through nine, a 1%
prepayment penalty in year ten and no prepayment penalty thereafter.
The Partnership may receive interest related to its participation
interests in the underlying property, however,
these amounts are neither insured nor guaranteed.

Generally, the participation features consist of the following: (i)
"Minimum Additional Interest" which is at the rate of .5% per annum
calculated on the unpaid principal balance of the first mortgage on
the underlying property, (ii) "Shared Income Interest" which is 25%
of the monthly gross rental income generated by the underlying
property in excess of a specified base, but only to the extent that
it exceeds the amount of Minimum Additional Interest earned during
such month, (iii) "Shared Appreciation Interest" which is 25% of
any increase in the value of the underlying property in excess of a
specified base. Payment of participation interest from the
operations of the property is limited in any year to 50% of net
revenue or surplus cash as defined by FNMA or HUD, respectively.
The aggregate amount of Minimum Additional Interest, Shared Income
Interest and Shared Appreciation Interest payable by the underlying
borrower on the maturity date generally cannot exceed 50% of any
increase in value of the property. However, generally any net
proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the property will be
available to satisfy any accrued but unpaid Shared Income or Minimum
Additional Interest.

The Partnership did not receive any prepayment penalty or participation
income from this PIM. The Borrower of the Rock Creek Springs PIM
defaulted on its debt service obligation during the third quarter of
1996. FNMA, the guarantor of the MBS portion of the PIM, was unable
to negotiate a workout plan with the borrower and exercised its
option to repay the MBS in February 1997 and pursue a foreclosure.
On March 21, 1997, the Partnership made a special distribution of
$.75 per Limited Partner interest with the proceeds from the Rock
Creek payoff.

C. PIMs, continued

On April 25, 1997, the Partnership received a prepayment of the
Silver Springs PIM. The Partnership received the outstanding
principal balance of $7,249,479 plus outstanding interest on April 25, 1997,
while on March 31,1997,the Partnership had received a prepayment penalty of
$652,453 and Minimum Additional and Shared Income Interest of $41,173. On

the Limited Partners from the proceeds of the Silver Springs PIM prepayment.

During the second quarter of 1997, the Partnership received a
$100,000 payment for all additional interest earned on the Patrician
Apartments PIM through the date of discharge. The Partnership then
converted the investment in the PIM to a multi-family insured mortgage.

On October 27, 1997, the Partnership received a prepayment of the
Hampton Ridge Apartments PIM. The Partnership received the
outstanding principal balance of $9,067,437 plus outstanding
interest. The Partnership received a prepayment penalty of
approximately $508,000 in addition to participation income of
approximately $249,000. On November 21, 1997, the Partnership made
a special distribution of $.64 per unit to the Limited Partners from
the proceeds of the Hampton Ridge PIM prepayment.

principal balance of $16,651,149 plus outstanding interest. The
Partnership did not receive any prepayment penalty or participation income
from this PIM. During1995, the operating performance of Water View
Apartments declined due to insufficient levels of occupancy and higher
maintenance and repair expenses due to vandalism. As a result, the
borrower went into default on the underlying loan. Normally, a loan like
this would eventually be recovered through an insurance claim process.
However, the Partnership was able to receive its
insured proceeds on this loan earlier than anticipated due toBear Stearn s
assumption of the underlying insured mortgage.

On February 29, 1996, the Partnership received a prepayment of the
Tarnhill PIM. The Partnership received the outstanding principal
balance of $7,483,000, Shared Appreciation Interest of $982,845 and

respectively. The basis of the Partnership s liabilities for
financial reporting purposes are the same for its tax basis at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

H. Fair Value Disclosure of Financial InstrumentsF-18


The Partnership 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 due to the
short maturity of those instruments.

MBS

The Partnership estimates the fair value of MBS based on quoted
market prices.

PIMs

There is no active trading market for these investments.
Management estimates the fair value of the PIMs using
quoted market prices of MBS having the same stated coupon
rate. Management does not include any participation
income in the Partnership s estimated fair value arising
from appreciation of the properties,because Management
does not believe it can predict the time of realization
of the feature with any certainty. Based on the
estimated fair value determined using these methods and
assumptions, the Trust's investments in PIMs had gross
unrealized gains of approximately $2,596,000 at December
31, 1997, and gross unrealized gains and losses of
approximately $1,506,000 and $372,000, respectively, at
December 31, 1996.

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the estimated fair values of
the Partnership's financial instruments are as follows:



(Amounts in thousands)
1997 1996


Cash and cash equivalents $ 20,481 $ 6,057

MBS 23,701 17,358

PIMs 115,648 166,077

mortgage or shared income and appreciation agreement with
the underlying Borrower that conveys participation interests
in the revenue stream and appreciation of the underlying
property above certain specified base levels.

(b) Represents the permanent interest rate of the GNMA or FNMA
MBS or the HUD-insured first mortgage less the servicers
fee. The Partnership may also receive additional interest
which consists of (i) Minimum Additional Interest based on a
percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the first
mortgage on the property, (ii) Shared Income Interest based
on a percentage of monthly gross income generated by the
underlying property in excess of a specified base amount
(but only to the extent it exceeds the amount of Minimum
Additional Interest received during such month), (iii)
Shared Appreciation Interest based on a percentage of any
increase in the value of the underlying property in excess
of a specified base value.

(c) Minimum additional interest is at a rate of .5% per annum
calculated on the unpaid principal balance of the first
mortgage note.

(d) Minimum additional interest is at a rate of 1% per annum

As consideration for this interest rate reduction, the
Partnership will receive 25% of the available net cash flow,
will increase the Shared Appreciation Interest rate from 30%
to 50% and will decrease the base value used for this
calculation from $10,615,000 to $9,650,000. Previously,

7.5% per annum until maturity. This
was done in exchange for a lower Shared Appreciation base
value of $13,200,000 from $15,450,000 and an obligation from
the borrower to
repay the interest not paid under the interest rate
reduction upon the sale of the property or the maturity or
