DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VIII
(A Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.   GENERAL

DSI Realty Income Fund VIII (the "Partnership"), a limited partnership, has
two general partners (DSI Properties, Inc., and Diversified Investors Agency)
and  limited  partners  owning 24,000  limited  partnership  units.  The
Partnership was formed under the California Uniform Limited  Partnership
Act for the primary purpose of acquiring and operating real estate.

The Partnership has acquired four mini-storage facilities located in
Stockton, El Centro, Huntington Beach, and Lompoc, California. The
Partnership has also entered into a joint venture with DSI Realty
Income Fund IX, through which the Partnership has a 30% interest in
a mini-storage facility in Aurora, Colorado (see Note 3).  All facilities
were acquired from Dahn Corporation ("Dahn").  Dahn is not affiliated with
the Partnership.  Dahn is affiliated with other partnerships in which DSI
Properties, Inc. is a general partner (see Note 7).

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by the
Company's management in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and in conjunction with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial
statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regu-
lations.  Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial
statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are
considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods presented.  However, the results of operations for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2007.  These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006.

                          ========    ========

The Partnership accounts for its investment in the real estate joint
venture under the equity method of accounting.

4.   NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

Net income per limited partnership unit is calculated by dividing the net
income allocated to the limited partners by the number of limited
partnership units outstanding during the period.

5.   ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES AND GENERAL PARTNERS' INCENTIVE
     MANAGEMENT FEE

Under the Agreement of limited Partnership, the general partners are to
be allocated 1% of the net profits or losses from operations, and the
limited partners are to be allocated the balance of the net profits or
losses from operations in proportion to their limited partnership
interests.

The General Partners are also entitled to receive a percentage, based on
a predetermined formula, of any cash distribution from the sale, other
disposition or refinancing of the project.

In addition, the General Partners are entitled to receive an incentive
management fee for supervising the operations of the Partnership.  The
fee is to be paid in an amount equal to 9% per annum of the cash available
for distribution on a cumulative basis, calculated as cash generated from
operations less capital expenditures.


6.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership has entered into a management agreement with Dahn to
operate its mini-storage facilities.  The management agreement provides
for a management fee equal to 5% of gross revenue from operations, which
is defined as the entire amount of all receipts from the renting or
leasing of storage compartments and sale of locks.  The management
agreement is renewable annually.  Dahn earned management fees equal to
$27,371 and $26,242, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008
and 2006, respectively.  Amounts payable to Dahn at March 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, were $11,125 and $10,387, respectively.

In 2004, the Partnership entered into truck lease agreements with KMD
Trucks, LLC ("KMD").  The president of Dahn, Brian Dahn, is also a
member of KMD.  Trucks are leased under 48-month leases with total
monthly payments in the amount of $1,500.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations.

We  are  pleased  to  enclose  the  Partnership's  unaudited  financial
statements for the  period  ended March 31, 2008.  The  following  is
Management's  discussion  and  analysis  of  the  Partnership's  financial
condition  and  results  of  its  operations.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, total revenues
increased 1.8% from $524,833 to $534,351, total expenses increased 8.3%
from $263,838 to $285,778 and equity in income of the real estate joint
venture increased 20.3% from $32,113 to $38,645.  As a result, net income
decreased 2.0% from $293,108 to $287,218 for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007.  Rental revenue
increased as a result of higher occupancy rates.  Occupancy levels for the
Partnership's four mini-storage facilities averaged 81.5% for the three-
month period ended March 31, 2008, and 79.8% for the same period in 2007.
The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep
new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.  Operating expenses
increased approximately $24,700 (14.0%) primarily as a result of increases
in advertising, repairs and maintenance, office supplies and salaries and
wages expenses.  General and administrative expenses decreased approximately
$2,800 (3.2%) primarily as a result of a decrease in incentive management
fee expense.  Equity in income of real estate joint venture increased as
a result of the higher net income at that facility.

The  General  Partners will  continue  their  policy  of  funding  continuing
improvement and maintenance of Partnership  properties  with  cash  generated
from operations.  The  Partnership's  resources  appear  to  be  adequate  to
meet its needs.  The General Partners anticipate distributions to the Limited
Partners  to  remain  at  the  current  level  for  the  foreseeable  future.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
          NONE

Item 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Partnership evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and
procedures.  This evaluation was performed by the Partnership's Controller
with the assistance of the Partnership's President and the Chief Executive
Officer.  These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure
that the information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in its
periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
Commission) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified by the Commission's rules and forms, and that the inform-
ation is communicated to the certifying officers on a timely basis. Based on
this evaluation, the Partnership concluded that its disclosure controls and
procedures were effective.  There have been no significant changes in the
Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
