QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VIII
DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:
We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited financial
statements for the period ended March 31, 1997. 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, 1997 and 1996, total
revenues increased 2.5% from $409,415 to $419,638 and total expenses
increased 2.4% from $313,715 to $321,233. Equity in income of the real
estate joint venture decreased 10.3% from $22,346 to $20,046. As a result,
net income increased from $118,046 to $118,451 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996.
Rental revenue increased as a result of higher unit rental rates.
Occupancy levels for the Partnership's five mini-storage facilities
averaged 83.7% for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, and 85%
for the same period in 1996. The Partnership is continuing its marketing
efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage
facilities. Operating expenses increased approximately $8,500 (3.4%)
primarily as a result of higher yellow pages avertising costs, legal and
professional and salaries and wages expenses, partially offset by lower
repair and maintenance expenses. General and administrative expenses
remained constant. Income from the real estate joint venture decreased
primarily as a result of a non-recurring termination payment to the facility
manager, partially offset by lower maintenance and repair expenses.
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.
We are not enclosing a copy of the Partnership Form 10-Q as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission since all the information set forth
therein is contained either in this letter or in the attached financial
statements. However, if you wish to receive a copy of said report, please
send a written request to DSI Realty Income Fund VIII, P.O. Box 357, Long
Beach, California 90801.
Very truly yours,
DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VIII
