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. 2. PROPERTY The Partnership owns four mini-storage facilities located in Stockton, El Centro, Lompoc and Huntington Beach, California. The total cost of property and accumulated depreciation is as follows: March 31, December 31, 2008 2007 Land $ 1,969,877 $ 1,969,877 Buildings and improvements 6,058,051 6,058,051 Rental trucks under capital lease 70,047 70,047 ------------ ------------ Total 8,097,975 8,097,975 Less: Accumulated Depreciation ( 6,087,184) ( 6,080,931) ------------ ------------ Property - Net $ 2,010,791 $ 2,017,044 ============ ============ 3. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURE The Partnership is involved in 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. 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 venture. Summarized income statement information for the joint venture for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2008 2007 Revenue $192,790 $176,454 Operating Expenses 63,974 69,412 -------- -------- Net Income $128,816 $107,042 ======== ======== 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.
