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 6).

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, 2008.  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, 2007.

facility in Aurora, Colorado.  Under the  terms of the  joint  venture
agreement, the Partnership is entitled to 30% of the profits and losses of
the venture and owns 30% of the mini-storage facility as a tenant in common
with DSI Realty Income Fund IX, which has the remaining 70% interest in

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

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
$28,830 and $25,803, for the three month periods ended September 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively, and $82,471 and $77,975 for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Amounts payable to Dahn
at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, were $10,368 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2008 and 2007, total revenues
increased 8.1% from $516,253 to $558,141 and total expenses increased 25.7%
from $234,847 to $295,261 and equity in income of the real estate joint venture
increased 4.9% from $36,163 to $37,944.  As a result, net income decreased
5.3% from $317,569 to $300,824 for the three-month period ended September 30,
2008, as compared to the same period in 2007.  Rental revenue increased as a
result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates.  Occupancy levels for the
Partnership's four mini-storage facilities averaged 85.5% for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 81.2% 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 in-
creased approximately $52,600 or 28.4% primarily as a result of increases in
advertising, repairs and maintenance, property management fees and salaries
and wages expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased approxi-
mately $7,800 or 15.7% primarily as a result of an increase in legal and
professional and equipment and computer lease expenses, partially offset by
a decrease in incentive management fee expenses and state tax payments.
Equity in income from the real estate joint venture increased as a result of
the higher net income at that facility as a result of higher storage rental
revenue.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, total revenues
increased 6.1% from $1,560,076 to $1,655,430 and total expenses increased
15.7% from $770,234 to $890,786 and equity in income of the real estate
joint venture increased 16.4% from $98,835 to $115,070.  As a result, net
income decreased 1.0% from $888,677 to $879,714 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007.  Rental
revenue increased as a result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates.
Occupancy levels for the Partnership's four mini-storage facilities averaged
84.6% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to 79.9%
for the same period in 2007.  Operating expenses increased approximately
$98,900 or 17.4% primarily as a result of increases in advertising, repairs
and maintenance, telephone, property management fees, office supplies and
salaries and wages expenses, partially offset by a decrease in legal and
security alarm services expenses.  General and administrative expenses
increased approximately $21,700 or 10.8% for the same reasons as discussed
above.  Equity in income from the real estate joint venture increased as
discussed above.

The  General  Partners will  continue their policy of funding improvements
and maintenance of Partnership  properties  with  cash  generated  from
operations.  The  Partnership's financial 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 4T.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure 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 informa-
tion 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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Partnership's internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.
