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, 1999 and December 31, 1998 were as follows:
Location of Property Average Occupancy Average Occupancy
Level for the Level for the
Year Ended Year Ended
Dec. 31, 1999 Dec. 31, 1998
El Centro, CA 76% 75%
Lompoc, CA 84% 82%
Pittsburg, CA 80% 85%
Stockton, CA 84% 85%
Huntington Beach, CA 90% 90%
Aurora, CO* 88% 88%
- ----------
*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.
<PAGE>
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, 1999 regarding

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1999 COMPARED TO 1998
Total revenues increased from $1,899,608 in 1998 to $1,964,314 in 1999,
while total expenses increased from $1,253,740 to $1,325,636 and income from
the real estate joint venture increased from $109,741 to $122,453. As a result
net income increased from $755,609 in 1998 to $761,131 in 1999. The approximate
$116,500 (6.3%) increase in rental revenues can be attributed to higher unit
rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage averaged
82.9% for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 84% for the year ended December
31, 1998. The Partnership is continuing its advertising campaign to attract
and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. The approximate
$72,900 (16.3%) increase in operating expenses was due primarily to an increase
in yellow pages and other advertising costs, maintenance and repair, workers
compensation and security and alarm services expenses. General and
administrative expenses and General Partners' incentive management fees remained
relatively constant. Property management fees, which are based on revenue
increased as a result of the increase in rental revenue. The increase in
income from real estate joint venture was the result of higher unit rental
rates, partially offset by increase in operating expenses. Average occupancy
of the joint venture was 88.0% in 1999 and 87.6% in 1998.
1998 COMPARED TO 1997
Total revenues increased from $1,712,288 in 1997 to $1,899,608 in 1998,
while total expenses increased from $1,217,044 to $1,253,740 and income from
the real estate joint venture increased from $93,305 to $109,741. As a result,
net income increased from $588,549 in 1997 to $755,609 in 1998. The increase
in revenues includes a one-time gain from involuntary conversion of land (see
Note 7 to Financial Statements). The increase in rental revenues is due
primarily to higher unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the
Partnership's five mini-storage facilities was 84.9% for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and 84.0% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
approximate $33,900 (8.2%) increase in operating expenses was primarily due
to increases in yellow pages advertising costs, maintenance and repair,
salaries and wages and real estate tax expenses. General and administrative
expenses decreased approximately $12,400 (8.9%) primarily as a result of a
decrease in legal and professional expenses. The General Partners' incentive
management fee increased approximately $7,900 (7.2%) as a result of an increase
in cash available for distribution on which this fee is based. Property
management fees, which are based on revenue, increased as a result of the
increase in rental revenue. The increase in income from the real estate joint
venture was the result of higher unit rental rates, as operating and general
and administrative expenses remained relatively constant. Average occupancy of
the joint venture was 87.6% in 1998 compared to 88.3% in 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $38,500
(3.2%) in 1999 compared to 1998, primarily due to the absence of a gain from
involuntary conversion of land (see Note 7 to Financial Statements). Net cash
provided by operating activities increased approximately $118,500 (10.8%)
in 1998 compared to 1997, primarily due to the increase in net income.
Cash used in financing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, has been limited to distributions paid to the partners. A special
distribution of 1% was declared and paid on December 15, 1999 and 1998.
Cash used in investing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, consisted 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.

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, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of income, changes in
partners' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1999. 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, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 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, 1999
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 percent 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
five percent 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 composed
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 $2,542,450.
Revenues - Rental revenue is recognized using the accrual method based
on contractual amounts provided for in the lease agreements, which
approximates recognition 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 percent interest in the Aurora, Colorado facility using the equity
method of accounting (see Note 6).
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998
and 1997 amounts to conform to the 1999 presentation.
Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit - Net income per limited
partnership unit is computed by dividing the net income allocated to
the limited partners by the weighted average number of limited
partnership units outstanding during each year (24,000 in 1999, 1998 and
1997).
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 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. No
impairment losses were required in 1999, 1998 or 1997.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments
consist primarily of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities. The carrying values of all financial instruments are
representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Partnership to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily
of cash equivalents and rent receivables. The Partnership places its
cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions.
3. PROPERTY

accumulated depreciation are as follows:

the year ended December 31, 1998.
4. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES AND GENERAL PARTNERS' MANAGEMENT FEES
Under the Agreement of Limited Partnership, the general partners are to be
allocated 1% of the net profits or net 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 nine percent per annum of the cash
available for distribution, as defined.
5. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The following disclosure about segment reporting of the Partnership is
made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Partner-
ship operates under a single segment; storage facility operations, under
which the Partnership rents its storage facilities to its customers on
a need basis and charges rent on a predetermined rate.
6. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURE
The Partnership is involved in a joint venture (the Buckley Road facility)
that owns a mini-storage facility in Aurora, Colorado. Under the terms
of the joint venture agreement, the Partnership is entitled to 30 percent
of the profits or losses of the venture and owns 30 percent of the mini-
storage facility as a tenant in common with DSI Realty Income Fund IX
("Fund IX"), which has the remaining 70 percent interest in the venture.
