(A Pennsylvania Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) FOR THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001 NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT'S OPINION REGARDING INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements of Atlas-Energy for The Nineties - Public #8 Ltd. (the Partnership) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-QSB pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Partnership's Form 10-KSB for the calendar year ended December 31, 2001. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full calendar year ending December 31, 2002. Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 to conform with the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002. NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, " Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after July 15, 2002. The Partnership is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003 and has not yet determined the impact of this new accounting standard. NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) The following table presents comprehensive income (loss) for the periods indicated:

7 ATLAS-ENERGY FOR THE NINETIES - PUBLIC #8 LTD. (A Pennsylvania Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) FOR THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001 NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS WITH ATLAS AND ITS AFFILIATES The Partnership has entered into the following significant transactions with Atlas Resources, Inc. (Atlas), the Managing General Partner, and its affiliates as provided under the Partnership agreement: o Administrative costs payable to Atlas at $75 per well per month. Administrative costs incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $11,900 and $ 12,100, respectively, and $23,900 and $ 24,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. o Monthly well supervision fees payable to Atlas at $275 per well per month for operating and maintaining the wells. Well supervision fees incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $ 36,200 and $ 44,000, respectively, and $72,700 and $ 80,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. o Transportation fees paid to Atlas of $.29 per mcf. Transportation costs incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $17,700 and $ 48,000, respectively, and $39,000 and $95,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. o As managing general partner, Atlas performs all administrative and management functions for the Partnership including billing revenues and paying expenses. Accounts receivable - affiliate on the balance sheet represents the net production revenues due from Atlas. 8 ATLAS-ENERGY FOR THE NINETIES - PUBLIC #8 LTD. (A Pennsylvania Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - (Continued) FOR THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001 NOTE 5 - HEDGING ACTIVITIES Atlas enters into natural gas futures and option contracts to hedge the Partnership's exposure to changes in natural gas prices. At any point in time, such contracts may include regulated New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") futures and options contracts and non-regulated over-the-counter futures contracts with qualified counter parties. NYMEX contracts are generally settled with offsetting positions, but may be settled by the delivery of natural gas. Although hedging provides Atlas and its affiliates, including the Partnership, some protection against falling prices, these activities could also reduce the potential benefits of price increases, depending upon the instrument. Atlas does not hold derivative instruments for trading purposes. Effective January 1, 2001, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133") Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (as amended by SFAS 138). This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The statement requires that all derivative financial instruments are recognized in the financial statements as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized in income or other comprehensive income, depending on their classification. Upon adoption of SFAS 133, the Partnership recognized the unrealized loss on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of $122,000 at January 1, 2001 in accumulated other comprehensive income as a cumulative effect of accounting change. At June 30, 2002, Atlas had natural gas futures and option contracts covering approximately 54,000 dekatherms ("Dth") of the Partnership's gas production maturing April 2002 through September 2003 at a combined average price of $3.45 per Dth. As these contracts qualify and have been designated as cash flow hedges, any gains or losses resulting from market price changes are deferred and recognized as a component of sales revenues in the month the gas is sold. Gains or losses on futures contracts are determined as the difference between the contract price and a reference price, generally prices on NYMEX. The Partnership's net unrealized loss related to open NYMEX contracts was $14,000 at June 30, 2002. The unrealized loss of $14,000 at June 30, 2002 has been recorded as a liability on the Partnership's 2002 Balance Sheet and in partners' capital as accumulated other comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2002, $8,800 of the unrealized loss is expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The Partnership recognized no losses on settled contracts covering natural gas production for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The Partnership recognized no gains or losses during the six months ended June 30, 2002 for hedge ineffectiveness or as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges. The Partnership assesses the effectiveness of its hedges based on changes in the derivates' intrinsic value. 9 ITEM 2.

10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED) - (Continued) Results of Operations - (Continued) Net Earnings. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, we had net earnings (loss) of $(10,000) and $5,800 as compared with net earnings for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 of $178,600 and $1,005,500, a decrease of $188,600 (105%) and $999,700 (99%). Revenues. Our natural gas revenues were $237,600 and $570,400 in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $430,800 (64%) and $1,193,500 (68%) from $668,400 and $1,763,900 in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001. These decreases were due to a 19% ($128,500) and 37% ($654,800) decrease in the average sales price of natural gas for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, and a 56% ($302,300) and 49% ($538,700) decrease in production volumes for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. The decrease in gas production volumes results primarily from the normal decline inherent in the life of a well. The impact of the lower gas production was further impacted by a decrease in natural gas prices, which decreased by $.78 per Mcf and $1.99 per Mcf to $3.26 per Mcf and $3.37 per Mcf in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002. Our revenues from our natural gas sales will be affected by changes in natural gas prices, which are driven by market conditions. Expenses. Production expenses were $72,400 and $154,300 in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $14,600 (17%) and $36,700 (19%). This decrease is attributable to a decrease in transportation expenses due to the lower production volumes. Depletion and depreciation of oil and gas properties as a percentage of oil and gas revenues was 65% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This percentage change is directly attributable to changes in our oil and gas reserve quantities, product prices and reductions in the depletable cost basis of oil and gas properties. General and administrative expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 amounted to $18,100 and $37,800. These expenses include the monthly administrative fees charged by the managing general partner to each productive well and legal and audit fees. Liquidity and Capital Resources. At June 30, 2002 we had working capital of $41,000 a decrease of $133,200 from $174,200 at December 31, 2001. Cash increased $43,000 from December 31, 2001. There were no new material commitments for us to make capital expenditures during the period and we do not expect any in the foreseeable future. Any additional funds, if required will be obtained from production revenues or borrowings from our managing general partner or its affiliates, which are not contractually committed to make a loan. The amount that may be borrowed may not at any time exceed 5% of our total subscriptions, and no borrowings will be obtained from third parties. Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, " Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after July 15, 2002. The Partnership is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003 and has not yet determined the impact of this new accounting standard. 11 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term "market risk" refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and oil and gas prices. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonable possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than trading. Commodity Price Risk. Our major market risk exposure in commodities is the pricing applicable to our oil and gas production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and spot market prices applicable to U.S. natural gas production. Pricing for oil and gas production has been volatile and unpredictable for many years. We periodically enter into financial hedging transactions with respect to a portion of our projected gas production. These financial hedging transactions are intended to reduce the impact of oil and gas price fluctuations. Realized gains and losses from the settlement of these hedges are recognized in gas revenues when the associated production occurs. The gains and losses realized as a result of hedging are substantially offset in the market when the commodity is delivered. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (as amended by SFAS No. 138). As of June 30, 2002, we had gas hedges in place covering 54,000 dekatherms maturing through September 2003. The unrealized loss on these hedges is a $14,000 liability at June 30, 2002 and is included on our balance sheet and represents the estimated amount that would have been realized had the hedges been terminated on that date. As these contracts qualify and have been designated as cash flow hedges, gains and losses on them resulting from market price changes are determined monthly and reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income until the month in which the hedged production is sold. At that time, the amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the sold production is closed to production revenues. Gains or losses on open and closed hedging transactions are determined as the difference between the contract price and a reference price, generally closing prices on NYMEX. 12 PART III ITEM 8.
