ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

         This Annual Report on Form 10-K relates to DVI Receivables Corp. VIII,
a limited purpose corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware
in December, 1998 (the "Registrant"), and its wholly owned subsidiaries, DVI
Receivables VIII, L.L.C., DVI Receivables X, L.L.C., DVI Receivables XI, L.L.C.,
DVI Receivables XII, L.L.C., and DVI Receivables XIV, L.L.C., all limited
purpose Delaware corporations formed in December 1998, June 1999, November 1999,
April 2000, and December 2000, respectively (collectively with the Registrant,
the "Company"). The Company does not intend to engage in any business or
investment activities other than acquiring, owing, leasing, transferring,
receiving or pledging the assets transferred to the Company pursuant to a
Contribution Agreement or Pooling Agreement. The Registrant's articles of
incorporation limit the Company's business and investment activities to the
above purposes and to any activities necessary, suitable or convenient to
accomplish the foregoing or incidental thereto. Accordingly, there is no
relevant information to report in response to Item 101 of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

         The Registrant does not have any physical properties. Accordingly, this
item is inapplicable.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         There are no material pending legal proceedings involving the
Registrant.

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

         No votes or consents of security holders were solicited during the
preceding fiscal year for any purpose.


                                     PART II


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

         There is no established public trading market for the common equity
securities of the Registrant.

         As of June 30, 2001, there was one registered common equity security
holder.

         The Registrant pays no dividends with respect to the common equity
securities.

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

         The regular monthly report form, which the Trustee is required to
include with each monthly distribution of Company assets to the security holders
(the "Monthly Reports") sets forth for the prior calendar month, as well as
cumulatively, all of the relevant financial information required by the
Indenture to be reportable to security holders.

         The Monthly Reports for the months ending July 31, 2000 through June
30, 2001, filed under Current Reports on Form 8-K, are incorporated herein by
reference.

         The foregoing presents all relevant financial information relating to
the Company. Because of the limited business activity of the Company, the
Selected Financial Data specified in Item 301 of Regulation S-K would not
provide meaningful additional information.

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

         Because of the limited business activity of the Company, the
presentation of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, as otherwise required by Item 303 of Regulation S-K,
would not be meaningful. All relevant information is contained in the Monthly
Reports (filed under Current Reports on Form 8-K) as described above.

ITEM 7a. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Because of the limited business activity of the Company, the
presentation of Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk, as required by Item
305 of Regulation S-K, would not be meaningful. All relevant information is
contained in the Monthly Reports (filed under Current Reports on Form 8-K) as
described above.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

         As discussed above, furnishing the traditional financial information
required by Item 8 of Form 10-K would not add relevant information to that
provided by the foregoing statements. Because the securities are essentially
"passthrough" securities, the Company will have "income" only in the limited
sense of collecting payments on the receivables. The only material items of
"expense" for the Company will be the amounts paid as servicing compensation and
potentially certain payments relating to any credit enhancement facility. The
Monthly Reports contained in the Current Reports on Form 8-K provide complete
information on the amounts of the "income" and "expenses" of the Company.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
         FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

         None.
