Item 13. Registrant's Financial Statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, incorporated by reference to Form 10-K, Part III. PART I Item l. BUSINESS Registrant, DSI Realty Income Fund VIII (the "Partnership") is a publicly-held limited partnership organized under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act pursuant to a Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (hereinafter referred to as "Agreement") dated November 28, 1983, as amended and restated to November 1, 1985. The General Partners are DSI Properties, Inc., a California corporation, Diversified Investors Agency, a general partnership, whose current partners are Robert J. Conway and Joseph W. Conway, brothers. The General Partners are affiliates of Diversified Securities, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSI Financial, Inc. The General Partners provide similar services to other partnerships. Through its public offering of Limited Partnership Units, Registrant sold twenty-four thousand (24,000) units of limited partnership interests aggregating Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000). The General Partners have retained a one percent (l%) interest in all profits, losses and distributions (subject to certain conditions) without making any capital contribution to the Partnership. The General Partners are not required to make any capital contributions to the Partnership in the future. Registrant is engaged in the business of investing in and operating mini-storage facilities with the primary objectives of generating, for its partners, cash flow, capital appreciation of its properties, and obtaining federal income tax deductions so that during the early years of operations, all or a portion of such distributable cash may not represent taxable income to its partners. Funds obtained by Registrant during the public offering period of its units were used to acquire five mini-storage facilities and a thirty percent (30%) interest in a joint venture with DSI Realty Income Fund IX, an affiliated California limited partnership, owning a sixth mini-storage facility. Registrant does not intend to sell additional limited partnership units. The term of the Partnership is fifty years but it is anticipated that Registrant will sell and/or refinance its properties prior to the termination of the Partnership. The Partnership is intended to be self-liquidating and it is not intended that proceeds from the sale or refinancing of its operating properties will be reinvested. Registrant has no full time employees but shares one or more employees with other publicly-held limited partnerships sponsored by the General Partners. The General Partners are vested with authority as to the general management and supervision of the business and affairs of Registrant. Limited Partners have no right to participate in the management or conduct of such business and affairs. An independent management company has been retained to provide day-to-day management services with respect to all of the Partnership's investment properties. Average occupancy levels for each of the Partnership's six properties for the years ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were as follows: Location of Property Average Occupancy Average Occupancy Level for the Level for the Year Ended Year Ended Dec. 31, 1996 Dec. 31, 1995 El Centro, CA 82% 82% Lompoc, CA 84% 91% Pittsburg, CA 86% 85% Stockton, CA 83% 84% Huntington Beach, CA 87% 86% Aurora, CO* 82% 89% - ---------- *The Partnership owns a 30% fee interest in this facility. The business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive. Each of its mini-storage facilities is located in or near a major urban area, and accordingly, competes with a significant number of individuals and organizations with respect to both the purchase and sale of its properties and rental of units. Generally, Registrant's business is not affected by the change in seasons. Item 2. PROPERTIES Registrant owns a fee interest in five mini-storage facilities and a thirty percent (30%) interest in a joint venture with DSI Realty Income Fund IX, an affiliated California limited partnership, owning a sixth mini-storage facility, none of which are subject to long-term indebtedness. Additional information is set forth in Registrant's letter to its Limited Partners regarding the Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 2, and incorporated by this reference. The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 1996 regarding properties owned by the Partnership.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Registrant is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings. Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. PART II Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Registrant, a publicly-held limited partnership, sold 24,000 limited partnership units during its offering and currently has 922 limited partners of record. There is no intention to sell additional limited partnership units nor is there a market for these units. Average cash distributions of $11.25 per Limited Partnership Unit were declared and paid each quarter for the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. It is Registrant's expectations that distributions will continue to be paid in the future. Item 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1996 COMPARED TO 1995 Total revenues decreased from $1,636,156 in 1995 to $1,624,001 in 1996, while total expenses increased from $1,196,068 to $1,229,425 and income from the real estate joint venture decreased from $116,421 to $82,729. As a result, net income decreased from $556,509 in 1995 to $477,305 in 1996. The slight decrease in rental revenues is due to lower occupancy levels partially offset by higher unit rental rates. Average occupancy levels for the Partnership's five mini-storage facilities decreased from 85.6% for the year ended December 15, 1995, to 84.4% for the year ended December 31, 1996. The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. The approximately $36,800 (8.2%) increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in yellow pages advertising costs, maintenance and repair and salaries and wages partially offset by decreases in office and real estate tax expenses. General and administrative expenses re- mained relatively constant. The General Partners' incentive management fee decreased approximately $8,800 (8.1%) as a result of a decrease in cash available for distribution on which this fee is based. The decrease in income from the real estate joint venture was the result of lower occupancy and unit rental rates as well as an increase in yellow pages advertising costs partially offset by a decrease in maintenance and repair expense. Average occupancy of the joint venture was 82% in 1996 compared to 89% in 1995. 1995 COMPARED TO 1994 Total revenues increased from $1,604,279 in 1994 to $1,636,156 in 1995, while total expenses increased from $1,169,399 to $1,196,068 and income from the real estate joint venture increased from $93,634 to $116,421. As a result, net income increased from $528,514 in 1994 to $556,509 in 1995. The slight increase in rental revenues is due to higher occupancy levels partially offset by lower unit rental rates. Average occupancy levels for the Partnership's five mini-storage facilities increased from 84.2% for the year ended December 31, 1994, to 85.6% for the year ended December 31, 1995. The approximate $11,000 (2.5%) increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in maintenance and repair and office expenses partially offset by a decrease in yellow page advertising costs. General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant. The General Partners' incentive management fee increased approximately $6,000 (5.8%) as a result of an increase in cash available for distribution on which this fee is based. The increase in income from the real estate joint venture was the result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates. Average occupancy of the joint venture was 89% in 1995 compared to 83% in 1994. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities decreased approximately $82,100 (7.2%) in 1996 compared to 1995, primarily due to the decrease in net income. Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $199,000 (21.2%) in 1995 compared to 1994, primarily due to an increase in net income and a reduction in receivables. Cash used in financing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash flows, has been limited to distributions paid to the partners. The General Partners determined that effective with the third quarter 1994 distribution which was paid on October 15, 1994, distributions to the limited partners would be increased to an amount which yields 9% annual return on the capital contributed by the limited partners from an annual return of 8% paid in the prior year. Cash used in investing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash flows, has consisted solely of acquisitions of equipment for the Partnership's mini storage properties. The Partnership has no material commitments for capital expenditures. The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing improvement and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash generated from operations. The Partnership's financial resources appear to be adequate to meet its needs for the next twelve months. The General Partners are not aware of any environmental problems which could have a material adverse effect upon the financial position of the Partnership. Item 8.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Partners of DSI Realty Income Fund VIII: We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DSI Realty Income Fund VIII, a California Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of income, changes in partners' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DSI Realty Income Fund VIII at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VIII (A California Real Estate Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 1. GENERAL DSI Realty Income Fund VIII, a California Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), has two general partners (DSI Properties, Inc. and Diversified Investors Agency) and limited partners owning 24,000 limited partnership units, which were purchased for $500 a unit. The general partners have made no capital contribution to the Partnership and are not required to make any capital contribution in the future. The Partnership has a maximum life of 50 years and was formed on April 23, 1984 under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of acquiring and operating real estate. The Partnership has acquired five mini-storage facilities located in Stockton, Pittsburgh, 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 6). 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. The mini-storage facilities are operated for the Partnership by Dahn under various agreements that are subject to renewal annually. Under the terms of the agreements, the Partnership is required to pay Dahn a property management fee equal to 5% of gross revenue from operations, as defined. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Partnership classifies its short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. Property and Depreciation - Property is recorded at cost and is comprised primarily of mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Building improvements are depreciated over a five year period. Income Taxes - No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. The taxable income or loss of the Partnership is allocated to each partner in accordance with the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership. Each partner's tax status, in turn, determines the appropriate income tax for its allocated share of the Partnership taxable income or loss. The net difference between the bases of the Partnership's assets and liabilities for federal income tax purposes and as reported for financial statement purposes is $1,906,346. Revenues - Rental revenue is recognized using the accrual method based on contractual amounts provided for in the lease agreements, which approximates recogniation on a straight line basis. The term of the lease agreements is usually less than one year. Investment in Real Estate Joint Venture - The Partnership accounts for its 30% interest in the Aurora, Colorado facility using the equity method of accounting (see Note 6). Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit - Net income per limited partnership unit is computed by dividing net income allocated to the limited partners by the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during each year (24,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994). Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Partnership's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Partnership regularly reviews long- lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss. As of December 31, 1996, no impairment losses were recognized. 3. PROPERTY As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the total cost of property and accumulated depreciation are as follows: 1996 1995 Land $ 2,305,310 $ 2,305,310 Buildings and improvements 7,094,327 7,074,530 ----------- ----------- Total 9,399,637 9,379,840 Less accumulated depreciation (5,543,327) (5,061,631) ----------- ---------- Property, net $ 3,856,310 $ 4,318,209 =========== =========== The Partnership received notice from the State of California concerning future plans to widen an interstate next to the Parntership's Stockton, California property. As a result, the State of California will acquire a small portion of the property in 1997. Management expects to be reimbursed for the fair value of the land acquired by the State of California and believes that neither the cash flow from nor the value of the property will be materially impaired. 4. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES 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 a real estate 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, as defined. Payment of inventive management fees earned by the general partners during the years 1986 through 1988 in the amount of $272,727 was subordinated to the limited partners' receipt of an annual cumulative, noncompounded return equal to 9.1% of their capital contributions. 5. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURE The Partnership is involved in a joint venture (the Buckley Road facility) which owns 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 ("Fund IX"), which has the remaining 70% interest in the venture. The agreement specifies that DSI Properties, Inc. (a general partner in both the Partnership and Fund IX) shall make all decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture and the management of the property. Summarized financial information of the Buckley Road facility is as follows: 1996 1995 ASSETS: Cash $ 14,894 $ 15,199 Property: Land 586,500 586,500 Building 2,565,446 2,565,446 ----------- ----------- Total 3,151,946 3,151,946 Less accumulated depreciation (1,927,930) (1,752,566) ----------- ----------- Property - net 1,224,016 1,399,380 ----------- ----------- Other assets 8,995 8,995 ----------- ----------- TOTAL $ 1,247,905 $ 1,423,574 =========== =========== LIABILITIES AND PARTNERS' EQUITY Liabilities 29,191 28,124 Partner's equity 1,218,714 1,395,450 ----------- ----------- TOTAL $ 1,247,905 $ 1,423,574 =========== =========== 1996 1995 1994 INCOME STATEMENT DATA: Rental revenues $620,720 $707,333 $640,098 Less operating expenses 344,957 319,264 327,985 -------- -------- -------- Net income $275,763 $388,069 $312,113 ======== ======== ======== Property is stated at cost; depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 15 years.

GENERAL Mini U Storage, Buckley Road Joint Venture, a California General Partnership (the "Joint Venture"), was formed by DSI Realty Income Fund VIII ("Fund VIII"), a California Real Estate Limited Partnership, and DSI Realty Income Fund IX ("Fund IX"), a California Real Estate Limited Partnership, pursuant to an agreement dated August 30, 1985 to operate a mini-storage facility known as Buckley Road located in Aurora, Colorado. The term of the Joint Venture is to continue until the earliest of the following events: * Acquisition of all of one venturer's interest by the other; * Sale or other disposition of substantially all of the property; or * Dissolution of the Joint Venture pursuant to the provisions of the agreement. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, Fund VIII is entitled to 30% of the profits and losses of the Joint Venture and owns 30% of the mini-storage facility as a tenant in common with Fund IX, which has the remaining 70% interest in the Joint Venture. The agreement specifies that DSI Properties, Inc.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Joint Venture classifies its short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. Property and Depreciation - Property is recorded at cost and comprises primarily a mini-storage facility. Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 15 years.

The term of the lease agreements is usually less than one year. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Joint Venturer's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Partnership regularly reviews long- lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
