1.   GENERAL

DSI Realty Income Fund VIII (the "Partnership"), a limited partnership, has
two general partners (DSI Properties, Inc., and Diversified Investors Agency)

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

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


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.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
     the net income of a mini-storage facility located in Pittsburg, California
     is reflected in the statement of income as discontinued operations for
     all periods presented.

     On July 20, 2006, a sales agreement was signed with the Department
     of Transportation, State of California, whereby it would acquire the
     Partnerships' mini-storage facility in Pittsburg, California for a
     gross sales price of $3,285,000.  This transaction will result in a
     gain of approximately $2,942,000 to the Partnership.  Escrow closed
     on October 20, 2006 and funds were transferred to the Partnership on
     that date.  Proceeds will be distributed to the limited partners on
     November 15, 2006.

     The following table summarizes the revenue and expense components that
     comprise discontinued operations:

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

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VIII
(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)

We  are  pleased  to  enclose  the  Partnership's  unaudited  financial
statements  for  the  period  ended September 30, 2006.  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, 2006 and 2005, total revenues
increased 0.1% from $628,189 to $628,759 and total expenses increased 10.1%
from $285,240 to $313,962 and other income decreased from $188 to $187.
Equity in income of the real estate joint venture decreased 3.5% from $30,634
to $29,577.  As a result, net income decreased 7.8% from $373,771 to $344,561
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005.  Rental revenue remained constant as higher unit rental rates
were offset by lower occupancy rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partnership's
five mini-storage facilities averaged 81.4% for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2006 as compared to 85.7% for the same period in 2005.  The
Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new ten-
ants in its various mini-storage facilities.  Operating expenses increased
approximately $31,800 (13.7%) as a result of increases in repairs and main-
tenance, legal and salaries and wages expenses.  General and administrative
expenses decreased approximately $3,100 (5.9%) primarily as a result of de-
creases in incentive management fee and equipment and computer lease expenses,
partially offset by an increase in legal and professional expense.  Equity in
income from the real estate joint venture remained constant as higher rental
revenues were offset by an increase in operating expenses at that facility.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, total revenues
increased 2.1% from $1,856,832 to $1,896,209 and total expenses increased 4.0%
from $906,270 to $942,181 and other income increased from $557 to $560. Equity
in income for the real estate joint venture increased 1.3% from $82,758 to
$83,807. As a result net income increased 0.4% from $1,033,877 to $1,038,395
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005.  Rental revenue increased as a result of higher unit rental
rates.  Operating expenses increased approximately $31,100 (4.4%) primarily
as a result of increases in repairs and maintenance, real estate tax, salaries
and wages and depreciation expenses, partially offset by decreases in adver-
tising, purchase of locks and packing materials, office supplies, workers'
compensation, insurance and truck maintenance expenses.  General and admin-
istrative expenses increased approximately $4,800 (2.5%) primarily as a result
of an increase in legal and professional expense, partially offset by a de-
crease in equipment and computer lease expense.  Equity in income from the
real estate joint venture remained relatively constant as discussed above.


On July 20, 2006, a sales agreement was signed with the Department of Trans-
portation, State of California, whereby it would acquire the Partnerships'
mini-storage facility in Pittsburg, California for a gross sales price of
$3,285,000.  Escrow closed on October 20, 2006.  It is anticipated that the
proceeds will be distributed sometime in November 2006.

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.   Quantative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
          NONE

Item 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, 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
President and  Chief Executive Officer.  These disclosure controls and pro-
cedures are designed to ensure that the information required  to be  disclosed
by the Partnership in its periodic  reports filed with the Securities and Ex-
change Commission (the Commission) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified by the Commissions rules and forms
and that the information 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 signifi-
cantly affect the internal controls subsequent  to  the  date  of  their
evaluation.
