Organization and Company matters: ATEL Capital Equipment Fund VIII, LLC. (the Company), was formed under the laws of the State of California on July 31 , 1998, for the purpose of acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing and sales activities. Contributions in the amount of $600 were received as of October 7, 1998, $100 of which represented the Managing Member's (ATEL Financial Corporation's) continuing interest, and $500 of which represented the Initial Members' capital investment. Upon the sale of the minimum amount of Units of Limited Liability Company interest (Units) of $1,200,000 and the receipt of the proceeds thereof on January 13, 1999, the Company commenced operations. The Company does not make a provision for income taxes since all income and losses will be allocated to the Partners for inclusion in their individual tax returns. 3.

Investment in leases (continued): At March 31, 1999, the aggregate amounts of future minimum lease payments are as follows: Direct Year ending Operating Financing December 31, Leases Leases Total 1999 $1,537,672 $ 856,505 $2,394,177 2000 2,052,365 1,141,734 3,194,099 2001 2,052,365 1,001,391 3,053,756 2002 2,052,365 579,542 2,631,907 2003 1,394,111 563,269 1,957,380 Thereafter 4,779,513 - 4,779,513 ---------------- ------------------ ---------------- $13,868,391 $ 4,142,441 $18,010,832 ================ ================== ================ 4. Related party transactions: The terms of the Limited Company Operating Agreement provide that the Managing Member and/or Affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees for equipment acquisition, management and resale and for management of the Company. The Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement allows for the reimbursement of costs incurred by the Managing Member in providing administrative services to the Company. Administrative services provided include Company accounting, investor relations, legal counsel and lease and equipment documentation. The Managing Member is not reimbursed for services where it is entitled to receive a separate fee as compensation for such services, such as acquisition and management of equipment. Reimbursable costs incurred by the Managing Member are allocated to the Company based upon actual time incurred by employees working on Company business and an allocation of rent and other costs based on utilization studies. Substantially all employees of the Managing Member record time incurred in performing administrative services on behalf of all of the Companies serviced by the Managing Member. The Managing Member believes that the costs reimbursed are the lower of (i) actual costs incurred on behalf of the Company or (ii) the amount the Company would be required to pay independent parties for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location and are reimbursable in accordance with the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement. The Managing Member and/or Affiliates earned fees, commissions and reimbursements, pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement as follows: Selling commissions (equal to 9.5% of the selling price of the Limited Liability Company units, deducted from Other Members' capital) $1,648,385 Reimbursement of other syndication costs to Managing Member 890,623 Administrative costs reimbursed to Managing Member 40,113 Asset management fees to Managing Member 16,864 ----------------- $2,595,985 ================= ATEL CAPITAL EQUIPMENT FUND VIII, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1999 (Unaudited) 5. Member's capital: As of March 31, 1999, 1,735,192 Units ($17,351,920) were issued and outstanding. The Company's registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission became effective December 7, 1998. The Company is authorized to issue up to 15,000,050 Units, including the 50 Units issued to the initial members. The Company's Net Income, Net Losses, and Distributions are to be allocated 92.5% to the Members and 7.5% to the Managing Member. 6. Line of credit: The Company participates with the Managing Member and certain of its Affiliates in a $90,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of financial institutions which expires on January 31, 2000. The agreement includes an acquisition facility and a warehouse facility which are used to provide bridge financing for assets on leases. Draws on the acquisition facility by any individual borrower are secured only by that borrower's assets, including equipment and related leases. Borrowings on the warehouse facility are recourse jointly to certain of the Affiliates, the Company and the Managing Member. At March 31, 1999, the Company had no borrowings under the line of credit. The credit agreement includes certain financial covenants applicable to each borrower. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of March 31, 1999. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Resources and Liquidity During the first quarter of 1999, the Company's primary activities were raising funds through its offering of Limited Liability Company Units (Units) and engaging in equipment leasing activities. Through March 31, 1999, the Company had received subscriptions for 1,767,141 Units ($17,671,410) all of which were issued and outstanding. During the funding period, the Company's primary source of liquidity is subscription proceeds from the public offering of Units. The liquidity of the Company will vary in the future, increasing to the extent cash flows from leases exceed expenses, and decreasing as lease assets are acquired, as distributions are made to the members and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases. As another source of liquidity, the Company has contractual obligations with a diversified group of lessees for fixed lease terms at fixed rental amounts. As the initial lease terms expire the Company will re-lease or sell the equipment. The future liquidity beyond the contractual minimum rentals will depend on the Managing Member's success in re-leasing or selling the equipment as it comes off lease. The Company participates with the Managing Member and certain of its affiliates in a $90,000,000 revolving line of credit with a financial institution. The line of credit expires on January 31, 2000. The Company anticipates reinvesting a portion of lease payments from assets owned in new leasing transactions. Such reinvestment will occur only after the payment of all obligations, including debt service (both principal and interest), the payment of management and acquisition fees to the Managing Member and providing for cash distributions to the Limited Partners. The Company currently has available adequate reserves to meet contingencies, but in the event those reserves were found to be inadequate, the Company would likely be in a position to borrow against its current portfolio to meet such requirements. The Managing Member envisions no such requirements for operating purposes. No commitments of capital have been or are expected to be made other than for the acquisition of additional equipment. Such commitments totaled approximately $4,700,000 as of March 31, 1999. If inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it may affect the Company inasmuch as the residual (resale) values and rates on re-leases of the Company's leased assets may increase as the costs of similar assets increase. However, the Company's revenues from existing leases would not increase, as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without adjustment for inflation. If interest rates increase significantly, the lease rates that the Company can obtain on future leases will be expected to increase as the cost of capital is a significant factor in the pricing of lease financing. Leases already in place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates. Cash Flows During the first quarters of 1999, the Company's primary source of liquidity was the proceeds of its offering of Units. Sources of cash flows from operating activities consisted primarily of direct financing lease revenues. In future periods, operating leases are expected to provide the majority of cash flows generated by operating activities. Rents from direct financing leases were the only source of cash from investing activities. Uses of cash for investing activities consisted of cash used to purchase operating and direct financing lease assets. The only source of cash from financing activities was the proceeds of the Company's public offering of Units of Limited Liability Company interest. Financing uses of cash included payments of syndication costs associated with the offering and distributions to the members. Results of operations On January 13, 1999, the Company commenced operations. Operations resulted in a net loss of $223,140. The Company's primary source of revenues is from direct financing leases. In future periods, operating leases are expected to be the most significant source of revenues. Depreciation is related to operating lease assets and thus, to operating lease revenues. It is expected to increase in future periods as acquisitions continue. Asset management fees are based on the gross lease rents of the Company plus proceeds from the sales of lease assets. They are limited to certain percentages of lease rents, distributions to members and certain other items. As assets are acquired, lease rents are collected and distributions are made to the members, these fees are expected to increase. Interest expense for the first quarter of 1999 related to the borrowings under the line of credit incurred by an affiliate of the Managing Member. It included all amounts related to those borrowings, going back as far as November 1998 when the Managing Member started to fund the related transactions on behalf of the Company. All of the revenues and related carrying costs for these transactions were attributed to the Company in the first quarter of 1999. Results of operations in future periods are expected to vary considerably from those of the first quarter of 1999 as the Company continues to acquire significant amounts of lease assets. PART II.
