                                     PART I


Item 1.  Business

Outlook   Income/Growth  Fund  VIII,  A  California  Limited  Partnership  ("the
Partnership"), was formed on June 21, 1985, under the California Revised Limited
Partnership Act. The Partnership's public offering commenced on January 24, 1986
and  concluded  on January 23,  1987,  through  the sale and  issuance of 35,000
limited  partnership  units  for  a  total  of  $35,000,000.  The  Partnership's
operations began on March 10, 1986, when its impound requirements were met. With
limited exceptions,  Glenborough  Corporation,  as Managing General Partner, and
Robert  Batinovich,  as General  Partner,  (collectively  "Glenborough"  or "the
Managing  General  Partner")  have  exclusive  control  over the business of the
Partnership, including the right to manage the Partnership's assets.

The  Partnership's  primary  business  is to  invest  in  and  operate  existing
income-producing  properties  (or  interests  therein),  which are  expected  to
generate  cash  flow  from  operations  as well as  cover  the  expenses  of the
Partnership.  At December 31, 1996,  the  Partnership  owned  interests in three
properties (individually, a "Property" or collectively the "Properties"),  which
are more fully  described in Item 2. The Properties are managed on behalf of the
Partnership by Glenborough Corporation.

     In December 1996,  Glenborough  Partners,  an affiliate of the Partnership,
purchased 931 limited  partnership  units (a 2.7% interest) from an unaffiliated
limited partner for $163,000.

Management intends to present a plan of Partnership  liquidation for an investor
vote in 1997. The carrying  value of the  investments in real estate at December
31, 1996 does not purport to represent the ultimate sales price the  Partnership
will realize from the disposition of these assets nor are the amounts  reflected
in the  accompanying  financial  statements  intended to represent  the ultimate
amount to be distributed to partners if the plan is adopted.

Competition

The Managing  General  Partner  believes that  characteristics  influencing  the
competitiveness of a real estate project include the geographic  location of the
property,  the  professionalism  of the property manager and the maintenance and
appearance  of the  property,  in addition to external  factors  such as general
economic  circumstances,  trends, and the existence of new, competing properties
in the vicinity.  Additional  competitive  factors include the ease of access to
the  property,  the  adequacy of related  facilities,  such as parking,  and the
ability to provide rent concessions and tenant  improvements  commensurate  with
local market  conditions.  Such  competition may lead to rent  concessions  that
could  adversely  affect the  Partnership's  cash flow.  Although  the  Managing
General  Partner  believes the  Partnership's  Properties are  competitive  with
comparable  properties as to those  factors  within the  Partnership's  control,
over-building  and other external  factors could adversely affect the ability of
the  Partnership  to  attract  and  retain  tenants.  The  marketability  of the
Properties  may also be affected  (either  positively  or  negatively)  by these
factors as well as by changes in general or local economic conditions, including
prevailing  interest  rates.  Depending on market and economic  conditions,  the
Partnership  may be required to retain  ownership of its  Properties for periods
longer  than  anticipated  at  acquisition,  or may  need to sell  earlier  than
anticipated  or  refinance a Property,  at a time or under terms and  conditions
that are less  advantageous  than would be the case if  unfavorable  economic or
market conditions did not exist.

Working Capital

The  Partnership's  practice is to maintain  cash  reserves for normal  repairs,
replacements,  working capital and other contingencies. The Partnership knows of
no statistical information which allows comparison of its cash reserves to those
of its competitors.



                               Page 2 of 44
<PAGE>

Other Factors

Federal,  state and local statutes,  ordinances and regulations  which have been
enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise  relating to the protection of the environment do not presently have a
material  effect  on the  operations  of  the  Properties  nor  on  the  capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Partnership.

The Partnership does not directly employ any individuals.  All regular employees
rendering  services on behalf of the Partnership are employees of Glenborough or
its affiliates.

The business of the Partnership to date has involved only one industry  segment,
real estate.  The Partnership has no foreign  operations and the business of the
Partnership is not seasonal.

Item 2.  Properties

At December 31, 1996, the Partnership owns the following properties:

San Mar Plaza

On June 27, 1986, the Partnership  purchased San Mar Plaza, a shopping center in
the  City  of San  Marcos,  Hays  County,  Texas.  Total  consideration  paid of
$10,219,000  included cash of $3,219,000 and assumption of a first deed of trust
on the property in the original amount of $7,000,000.

The property is located at the  intersection  of  Interstate  35 and Texas State
Highway 80 affording the property high  visibility.  San Marcos is approximately
halfway  between  the  cities  of  Austin  and San  Antonio.  San Mar Plaza is a
multi-tenant  community retail center of concrete  tilt-wall  construction.  The
center  consists of seven  buildings with  approximately  96,206 rentable square
feet on 10.3 acres of land.  The  shopping  center was  constructed  in 1982 and
expanded in early 1986, and has parking for approximately 446 cars.

San Marcos has experienced  economic and business  development growth during the
last  six  years as a result  of  growth  in the  high-tech,  state  government,
academia, medical,  development and finance areas. An outlet mall constructed in
1993 is now the major  retail  draw for  national  and  regional  tenants in San
Marcos. San Mar Plaza has been unable to compete with the outlet mall due to the
lack of a non-grocery  anchor and the relocation of an adjacent  Wal-Mart store.
Management is targeting national  franchises,  multi-unit regional operators and
local operators as prospective tenants at San Mar Plaza.

According to research conducted by the property manager, comparable retail space
is leasing for $11.00 per square foot per year. The closest  competing  shopping
center to San Mar Plaza is San Marcos Place, which leases at an annual effective
rate of $10.00 per square foot. Overall, property rents are gradually improving,
but not significantly at this time.

At December 31, 1996, with 12,562 square feet of vacant space plus an additional
4,600 square feet of projected lease expirations in 1997,  management  continues
to negotiate  renewals  and market its vacant  spaces.  In August  1996,  11,000
square feet of the current  vacancy of 12,562 square feet occurred when Hastings
Books,  Music & Video  terminated  its lease and  sub-leased  the vacant grocery
store space currently leased by The Kroger Company. Although the Hastings Books,
Music and Video move  created  vacant  space it  provided  San Mar Plaza with an
anchor tenant and improved  marketing  opportunities.  Current prospects for the
11,000  square feet of vacant space  include a  restaurant,  ladies  apparel and
furniture stores. The Partnership has budgeted $105,000 for tenant  improvements
and leasing commissions to support 1997 leasing activity.



                               Page 3 of 44

The occupancy  level at December 31,  expressed as a percentage of the total net
rentable square feet, and the average annual  effective rent per square foot for
the last five years were as follows:

            Occupancy Level      Average Annual Effective
Year          Percentage           Rent Per Square Foot
- ----          ----------           --------------------
1996              87%                   $9.90
1995              97%                   $9.81
1994              98%                   $9.64
1993              98%                   $9.55
1992              94%                   $8.87

Average annual rent increased in 1996, despite the decrease in occupancy, due to
rent increases on existing leases. Current annual effective rental rates for all
except one tenant range from $8.00 to $14.92 per square foot.  One tenant has an
annual  effective rent of $34.06 per square foot. The premium rent on this lease
is due to the small square footage leased by the tenant (575 square feet).

The following  two tenants lease ten percent or more of the net rentable  square
footage of the property at December 31, 1996. The principal  provisions of their
leases and the nature of their businesses are as follows:

</TABLE>

In the opinion of management, the property is adequately covered by insurance.

During 1996, San Mar Plaza was assessed property taxes of approximately  $95,000
based on a tax rate of 2.322%.

The  property is owned by the  Partnership  in fee,  secured by a note and first
deed of trust and security agreement in the amount of $6,496,000. The note bears
interest at an annual rate of 9.38% payable in monthly installments of principal
and interest of $60,600  until the maturity date of April 1, 1997, at which time
all  principal  and interest will be due and payable.  The  Partnership  and the
lender are  negotiating a five year extension  beyond the maturity date of April
1, 1997.

Silver Creek Plaza

Silver Creek Plaza is a retail shopping center located in San Jose,  California.
The Partnership  purchased an undivided  66.21% interest in the property in 1986
and the remaining 33.79% interest in 1991.

The property is well designed with excellent  exposure to Capitol  Expressway (a
major  thoroughfare) and Silver Creek Road in a residential  neighborhood of San
Jose known as Evergreen  Valley.  Silver Creek Plaza  consists of 154,000 square
feet of leasable space which is comprised of 83,000 square feet of ground leases
and 71,000 square feet of leaseable  retail space.  Silver Creek Plaza  benefits
from strong  neighboring  anchor tenants  including a 41,000 square foot Safeway
supermarket and a 65,000 square foot Orchard Supply Hardware store.  Safeway and
Orchard  Supply  Hardware  both  own  their  respective  facilities  and are not


                              Page 4 of 44
<PAGE>

included in the property; however, these two stores have common area leases with
the  Partnership  and  pursuant  thereto  pay a  prorata  share of  common  area
expenses.

According  to research  conducted by the  Partnership's  property  manager,  the
Evergreen Valley district consists of single family homes, mobile home parks and
apartment  complexes,  characterized as a highly diverse ethnic population.  The
surrounding  projects include Silver Creek Market Place, which is a strip center
to the south,  Target  Shopping  Center and Aborn  Square.  Annual asking rental
rates for available  space in the immediate area range from $13.80 to $14.40 per
square foot.  Larger space (over  10,000  square feet) leases for  approximately
$8.40 to $10.20 per square foot per year.

In early 1997,  two leases  totaling  5,000  square feet of space  expired.  One
tenant is currently on holdover while a lease amendment is being  negotiated and
the second tenant has renewed their lease for one year. Management is optimistic
about  leasing  the  vacant  spaces  since a number of  potential  tenants  have
expressed interest in the shopping center.

The occupancy  level at December 31,  expressed as a percentage of the total net
rentable  square feet,  and the average  annual  effective  rent per square foot
(both of which exclude the ground leases) for the last five years were:

               Occupancy Level               Average Annual Effective
Year             Percentage                    Rent Per Square Foot
- ----      -----------------------              --------------------
1996              79%                                $14.40
1995              66%                                $15.84
1994              78%                                $18.36
1993              88%                                $18.89
1992              77%                                $19.64

Current annual effective rental rates (for all except three tenants,  see below)
range from  $12.30 to $24.83 per square  foot for the retail  space and $2.42 to
$13.33 per square foot for the ground leases.

Average annual rent decreased in 1996, despite the increase in occupancy, due to
a new tenant  occupying  7,000  square  feet of space  with an annual  effective
rental rate of $6.00  coupled with the January 1996 vacancy of 3,370 square feet
of space which  previously  rented at an annual effective rental rate of $15.00.
In addition,  two existing  tenants  received  rental  reductions  in 1996,  one
reduction was given upon renewal of a lease, the other reduction occurred with a
lease  amendment.  The tenant with an annual  effective rent of $6.00 per square
foot is on a month-to-month  lease and will be vacating in 1997.  Another tenant
who  signed a lease in 1981 with  fixed  rental  rate  increases  pays an annual
effective  rental  rate of $9.96,  this lease  expires in 2000.  The third lease
provides  for a premium  rent of $30.96 per  square  foot per year as the square
footage leased by the tenant is only 310 square feet.

The following  two tenants lease ten percent or more of the net leasable  square
footage of the retail  space.  The  principal  provisions  of the leases and the
nature of the tenants' businesses are as follows:

In the opinion of management, the property is adequately covered by insurance.

During 1996,  Silver Creek Plaza was assessed  property  taxes of  approximately
$181,000 based on a tax rate of 1.285%.

The  property is owned by the  Partnership  subject to first and second deeds of
trust  notes.  The  first  deed of trust  note in the  amount of  $7,269,000  at
December  31,  1996,  accrued  interest at an annual rate of 9.75% and  required
monthly  principal and interest  payments of $64,800  until  maturity in January
1997, when the outstanding principal and interest became due. The second deed of
trust note in the amount of  $1,007,000  at December 31, 1996,  bore interest at
the Bank of America  prime rate plus one percent  (9.25% at December  31,  1996)
until the  modified  maturity  date of  December  31,  1996,  at which  time all
remaining principal and interest became due and payable.

On January 27, 1997,  the  Partnership  refinanced the first and second deeds of
trust notes.  The new note in the amount of $8,500,000,  secured by a first deed
of trust on the property, bears interest at the Wells Fargo Bank prime rate plus
one and one half percent and is payable in monthly installments of interest only
until the maturity date of January 22, 1998.

Silver  Creek was listed for sale at December  31, 1996 for  $10,200,000  with a
commercial   brokerage   firm  and  is  classified  as  held  for  sale  on  the
Partnership's  1996 balance sheet. The Partnership  expects to sell the property
prior to the January 22, 1998 maturity of the new note.

Huntington Breakers Apartments

On December  31,  1986,  the  Partnership  purchased  49 general  partner  units
representing an undivided 49% interest in a California limited partnership known
as Huntington  Breakers  Apartments,  Limited, A California Limited  Partnership
("Breakers Partnership").  The 49% interest was acquired for a purchase price of
$6,900,000 and  assumption of a prorata share of the existing  debt.  Concurrent
with this purchase,  the Partnership acquired the right to obtain one additional
general  partner unit which it acquired in January 1988 for a purchase  price of
$20,000, increasing its interest in the Breakers Partnership to 50%.

The joint venture arrangement included an income guarantee from the developer to
the Partnership.  The developer defaulted on the income guarantee and no amounts
were ever paid. Following lengthy negotiations,  the developer agreed to pay the
guaranteed  amounts,  but the  Partnership  allowed  payments to be deferred and
collected as a priority claim against future cash flow. The Partnership's annual
cash flow  priority is $700,000.  To date,  the property has never  reached this
amount and no income guarantee has ever been paid.

The Breakers  Partnership  owns a 342-unit  apartment  complex  located at 21270
Beach Boulevard, immediately north of Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach,
Orange County, California. The property is located less than a quarter of a mile
from the beach at  Huntington  State Park on a major  north-south  thoroughfare,
Beach Boulevard, also known as State Highway 39.

The  property is built in the Cape Cod design with well  maintained  landscaping
throughout the community. It was built over half basements which provide covered
parking  for the  residents,  and the entire  property is  protected  by a gated
entryway with card key system access.  The property was developed in two phases;
the first was  completed  in  September  1985 and the second in March 1986.  The
construction  of the  property  was  financed  with  proceeds  from  the sale of
$16,000,000 of Multifamily  Mortgage Revenue  Refunding bonds issued by the City
of Huntington Beach on behalf of the Partnership.

Management  continues to promote and market  Huntington  Breakers with its close
proximity to the ocean,  fitness center,  free cable television hookup,  planned
activities,   and  gated  access.   According  to  research   conducted  by  the
Partnership's  property manager,  the main competitive property is approximately
one mile inland and offers larger rooms, more closet space, washer and dryers in
apartments,  balconies,  and two assigned  parking stalls per  apartment.  Other
complexes in the area that are competitive with Huntington  Breakers are located


                               Page 6 of 44
<PAGE>

further inland, away from Huntington Beach. Residents attracted to the competing
complexes  are  interested  in  lower  rents  and  larger  apartments.  In 1996,
occupancies in the competing  complexes  improved to  approximately  94% and the
competition   reduced  rental  concessions  offered  to  draw  in  new  tenants.
Management  believes  the  market  has  improved  and  continues  an  aggressive
marketing campaign to attract new tenants and maintain occupancy.

The 1997 goal is to reduce the number of  short-term  leases  and  increase  the
retention  of  residents.  Management  intends to offer new  features  including
activity  programs,  a putting  green,  fitness  center and big screen TV in the
clubhouse.  $74,000  in  capital  improvements  have  been  budgeted  in 1997 to
maintain the appearance and condition of the apartment complex.

The  occupancy  level at December 31,  expressed  as a  percentage  of the total
apartments  available for rent, and the average  monthly rental rate range (from
unfurnished  to furnished 12 month leases) for the  apartments for the last five
years were:

</TABLE>

In the opinion of management, the property is adequately covered by insurance.

During 1996,  Huntington  Breakers was assessed  property taxes of approximately
$209,000 based on a tax rate of 1.119%.

The  property  secures  first and second  deeds of trust notes in the amounts of
$16,000,000 and $3,761,000,  respectively,  at December 31, 1996. The first deed
of trust note accrues  interest at a 7 day variable  rate (4.20% at December 31,
1996) and is payable in monthly  interest only  installments  until  maturity on
July 1, 2014, at which time all remaining principal and interest will be due and
payable.  The second  deed of trust  note  accrues  interest  at LIBOR plus 1.5%
payable in monthly interest only installments  until June 1, 2001, at which time
all remaining principal and interest will be due and payable.

The  Breakers  Partnership  must comply with  certain  covenants  related to the
aforementioned  notes,  including  maintenance of a Cash Collateral  Account, as
defined,  quarterly  excess property  income,  and the holding open for lease at
least 20% of the property's units to tenants  qualifying as "low income".  It is
management's  opinion that the Breakers  Partnership  is in compliance  with all
required terms of the loan agreement.

Item 5. Market for Partnership's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Market Information

The units of limited  partnership  interest in the  Partnership  ("Units")  have
limited  transferability.  There is no public market for the Units and it is not
expected that any will develop.  There are restrictions upon the transferability
of Units,  including requirements as to the minimum number of Units which may be
transferred,  and that the  General  Partners  must  consent  to any  transferee
becoming a substituted limited partner (which consent may be granted or withheld
at the sole  discretion of the General  Partner).  In addition,  restrictions on
transfer may be imposed  under  certain  state  securities  laws.  Consequently,
holders of Units may not be able to liquidate  their  investments  and the Units
may not be readily acceptable as collateral.

Holders

At December 31, 1996,  742 holders of record held 12,297  Current Units (Current
"A" Units);  855  holders of record  held 8,424  Deferred  Units  (Deferred  "A"
Units); and 1,339 holders of record held 14,271 Growth Units ("B" Units). During
1996,  four  deferred  units and four  growth  units were  abandoned.  Units are
abandoned  when  the  holder  desires  to  no  longer  receive  a K-1  from  the
Partnership.

Cash Distributions

The Partnership paid  distributions on the Current "A"Units at an annual rate of
9% from the quarter ended June 30, 1986 through the quarter  ended  December 31,
1987, and at an annual rate of 6% from January 1, 1988 through the quarter ended
June 30, 1988, at which time distributions were suspended.

At this time, distributions remain suspended and management is unable to predict
when distributions  will resume.  Funds are not expected to become available for
distribution  to the  owners  of the  Deferred  "A"  and  "B"  Units  until  the
properties  acquired by the  Partnership  are either  refinanced or sold and all
specified priority entitlements have been satisfied.

At December  31,  1996,  holders of Current  "A" Units had an  original  capital
balance  of  $12,297,000  and  accumulated  priority  returns  of  approximately
$9,599,800.  Holders of Deferred  "A" Units had an original  capital  balance of
$8,428,000  and  accumulated  priority  returns  of  approximately  $14,077,000.
Holders  of "B"  Units  had an  original  capital  balance  of  $14,275,000  and
accumulated priority returns of approximately $14,941,700.

The capital  account  balances to holders of Current "A" Units are continuing to
accrue a  priority  return  at the rate of 9% per  annum.  The  capital  account
balances to holders of Deferred  "A" Units are  continuing  to accrue a priority
return at the rate of 16% per annum.  The capital account balances to holders of
"B" Units are  continuing  to  accrue a  priority  return at the rate of 10% per
annum. These amounts,  however, do not represent obligations of the Partnership,
but only  represent  the amounts  which must be paid to the holders of the Units
before additional  payments will be made to other partners.  Reference should be
made to the Partnership's  partnership agreement for a more complete description
of the preferential payments to be made.

Item  7.  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and
          Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Outlook  Income/Growth  Fund VIII was formed to invest in  improved  real estate
which will:  (i)  generate  sufficient  cash flow to pay expenses and to provide
funds  for  cash  distributions;  (ii)  increase  equity  through  reduction  of
mortgages; and (iii) have potential for appreciation.

The  Partnership  has three types of units:  (i)  Current  Units  (12,297  units
currently outstanding); (ii) Deferred Units (8,424 units currently outstanding);
and (iii) Growth Units (14,271 units currently  outstanding).  Each type of unit
was designed to provide a different type of return to the investor. Although the
Partnership  was  structured as a  highly-leveraged  investment,  it anticipated
paying high current cash  distributions  (9%) on the Current  Units because they
represented  only 35% of the funds raised and the  Partnership  would be able to
allocate all current cash flow to them. The Partnership  paid  distributions  on
the Current Units at a 9%  annualized  rate from the quarter ended June 30, 1986
through the quarter  ended  December 31, 1987,  and at a 6% rate from January 1,
1988,  through the quarter ended June 30, 1988, at which time distributions were
suspended.  At this time management is unable to predict when distributions will
resume.

On January 27, 1997, the Partnership  borrowed  $8,500,000 from Wells Fargo Bank
to pay-off the matured  first and second  deeds of trust on Silver  Creek Plaza.
The new first deed of trust is secured by Silver  Creek  Plaza,  with a maturity
date of January 22, 1998.  The Silver  Creek  property is listed for sale and is
classified as rental  property held for sale on the  Partnership's  1996 balance
sheet.

Management intends to present a plan of Partnership  liquidation for an investor
vote in 1997. The carrying  value of the  investments in real estate at December
31, 1996 does not purport to represent the ultimate sales price the  Partnership
will realize from the disposition of these assets nor are the amounts  reflected
in the  accompanying  financial  statements  intended to represent  the ultimate
amount to be distributed to partners if the plan is adopted.

Management  believes that the  Partnership's  available  cash together with cash
generated  from  operations  and net  proceeds  upon the  eventual  sales of the
properties  will  be  sufficient  to  finance  the  cash   requirements  of  the
Partnership.

                                Page 9 of 44
<PAGE>

The  Huntington  Breakers  joint venture has  generated  losses in excess of the
Partnership's  original  investment.  Such excess  losses have been applied as a
reduction in the advances to the unconsolidated joint venture. Any future losses
exceeding cash advances to the  unconsolidated  joint venture will be recognized
only upon a sale or other  disposition  of the  joint  venture  interest  as the
Partnership  is not obligated  nor does it intend to restore any deficits  which
may accumulate in its joint venture capital account.

On April 28,  1995,  ownership  of an office  building  known as 175 South  West
Temple,  a property in a joint venture in which the  Partnership was the general
partner, was turned over to the lender in a negotiated  foreclosure prior to the
debt  maturity  date of May 1,  1995,  which  relieved  the  Partnership  of its
guarantee for a portion of the outstanding  debt and resulted in the recognition
of $2,647,000 in extraordinary gain on debt forgiveness.

Results of Operations

1996 versus 1995

The April 1995 negotiated foreclosure of 175 South West Temple, and an increased
vacancy  rate at San Mar Plaza  combined  with a lower  average  annual rent per
square foot at Silver  Creek Plaza  account for the  decrease in rental  revenue
from $2,947,000 in 1995 to $2,333,000 in 1996.

Interest and other income decreased in 1996 by $97,000,  or 63% when compared to
1995 due to the 1996 cessation of interest  accrual on the note  receivable from
the Breakers Partnership and a lower average invested cash balance.

Operating  expense  decreased  by  $279,000,  or 28%, in 1996  compared to 1995,
primarily due to the negotiated  foreclosure on 175 South West Temple,  the loss
of  management  fees due to lower rental  revenue and overall  lower repairs and
maintenance at both San Mar and Silver Creek.

The decrease in interest expense of $222,000,  or 13%, in 1996 over 1995 is
due to the negotiated foreclosure on 175 South West Temple.

Depreciation and amortization  expense decreased by $239,000,  or 31%, as a
result of the 1995 foreclosure on 175 South West Temple.

In 1996,  general and  administrative  costs decreased by $78,000,  or 12%, as a
result  of  lower  administrative  and  legal  costs  primarily  due to the 1995
negotiated foreclosure on 175 South West Temple.

Huntington Breakers Apartments,  an unconsolidated joint venture, attached as an
exhibit hereto, experienced a $514,000 increase in net operating income in 1996,
as a result of higher annual  occupancy rates and lower interest  expense due to
the refinancing of debt in 1996.

1995 versus 1994

The June 1994  sale of the Las  Palomas  apartment  complex  and the April  1995
negotiated  foreclosure of 175 South West Temple account for the majority of the
decrease in total rental revenue from  $4,718,000 in 1994 to $2,947,000 in 1995.
Additionally,  average annual rent per square foot decreased from $18.36 in 1994
to $15.84 in 1995 at Silver Creek Plaza.

In 1995,  management  conducted an internal cash flow appraisal  which indicated
that the  estimated  fair value of the San Mar Plaza  property was less than its
carrying value and that its carrying  value could not be recovered  prior to its
eventual  disposition.  This  resulted  in the  Partnership  recognizing  a loss
provision for  impairment in investment in real estate of $1,015,000  during the
year ended December 31, 1995.

Interest and other revenue had  increased by $32,000,  or 26%, in 1995 over 1994
due to the short-term  investment of the June 1994 sale proceeds.

                                Page 10 of 44
<PAGE>

As a result of two  property  dispositions  in 1994 and 1995,  discussed  above,
operating expenses, interest expense and depreciation and amortization decreased
in 1995 compared to 1994.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of
OUTLOOK INCOME/GROWTH FUND VIII,
A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP


We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of OUTLOOK  INCOME/GROWTH  FUND
VIII, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related statements of operations,  partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.  These  financial
statements  and the  schedule  referred to below are the  responsibility  of the
Partnership's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule 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,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of OUTLOOK  INCOME/GROWTH  FUND
VIII, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP as of 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.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The accompanying  schedule listed in the
index to  financial  statements  and  schedule is  presented  for the purpose of
complying  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission's  rules and is not a
required  part of the basic  financial  statements.  This  information  has been
subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied  in  our  audits  of the  basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                        December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994


                                                      
Note 1.           ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Outlook  Income/Growth  Fund  VIII,  A  California  Limited  Partnership,   (the
"Partnership")  was organized on June 21, 1985 in accordance with the provisions
of the California Revised Limited Partnership Act for the purpose of purchasing,
holding,  operating,  leasing and selling  various  properties.  The Partnership
commenced  operations on March 10, 1986.  Through a registered  public offering,
35,000 units of limited partnership  interests (the "Units") at $1,000 per Unit,
were  authorized  for sale. The sale of Units was concluded on January 23, 1987,
when 35,000 Units had been sold.  During 1996,  eight units were  abandoned as a
result of partners no longer desiring to receive  Partnership  K-1's and to give
them the  ability to write off their  investments  for income tax  purposes.  At
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995,  limited  partnership  units issued and
outstanding were 34,992 and 35,000, respectively.

Glenborough   Corporation  and  Robert   Batinovich  are  the  general  partners
(collectively,  the "General  Partner") of the  Partnership.  In December  1996,
Glenborough  Partners,  an affiliate of the  Partnership,  purchased 931 limited
partnership  units (a 2.7% interest) from an  unaffiliated  limited  partner for
$163,000.

Unless terminated earlier under the terms of the Limited Partnership  Agreement,
the  Partnership  will be dissolved on December  31, 2035.  Management  intends,
however,  to present a plan of Partnership  liquidation  for an investor vote in
1997. The carrying value of the  investments in real estate at December 31, 1996
does not purport to represent  the  ultimate  sales price the  Partnership  will
realize from the  disposition  of these assets nor are the amounts  reflected in
the accompanying  financial statements intended to represent the ultimate amount
to be distributed to partners if the plan is adopted.

The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  for three  types of  limited  partnership
interests:  Current  "A" Units,  Deferred  "A" Units and  Growth "B" Units.  The
Partnership  Agreement also provides for varying  allocations of net earnings or
net loss and distributions to the above limited partnership interests.  See Note
8 for the  provisions  of the  allocation  of net income or loss pursuant to the
Partnership agreement.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting - The accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared
on the  accrual  basis of  accounting  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles  under the presumption that the Partnership will continue
as a going concern. As discussed above,  management intends to present a plan of
Partnership  liquidation for an investor vote in 1997. However,  the liquidation
proceeds and the timing thereof are not currently estimable,  nor is approval of
such plan assured.  Accordingly,  the accompanying  financial  statements do not
provide for any adjustments  relating to the aforementioned  plan of liquidation
if it is adopted.

Use of Estimates - The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles require management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements and the reported  results of operations  during the reported  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties - The Partnership's ability to (i) achieve positive cash
flow  from   operations,   (ii)  meet  its  debt   obligations,   (iii)  provide
distributions  either  from  operations  or  the  ultimate  disposition  of  the
Partnership's properties or (iv) continue as a going concern, may be impacted by
changes in interest rates, property values,  geographic economic conditions,  or

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                        December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

the entry of other  competitors  into the  market.  The  accompanying  financial
statements do not provide for adjustments with regard to these uncertainties.

Investments in Real Estate - In March 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 121 (SFAS 121),
"Accounting  for  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and  Long-Lived  Assets to be
Disposed Of." The  Partnership  adopted SFAS 121 in the fourth  quarter of 1995.
SFAS 121  requires  that  long-lived  assets be carried at the lower of carrying
amount or fair  value  and that an  evaluation  of an  individual  property  for
possible  impairment be performed  whenever  events or changes in  circumstances
indicate that an impairment may have occurred.  The specific accounting policies
for assets to be held and used and those to be disposed of are described in more
detail below.

Rental  Property  - Rental  properties  are  stated  at cost  unless  events  or
circumstances  indicate  that  cost  cannot be  recovered,  in which  case,  the
carrying  value is reduced to  estimated  fair value.  Estimated  fair value for
financial  reporting  purposes:  (i) is based upon the  Partnership's  plans for
continued  operation of each property;  (ii) is computed using  estimated  sales
price,  as  determined by prevailing  market  values for  comparable  properties
and/or the use of  capitalization  rates multiplied by annualized  rental income
based upon the age,  construction  and use of the  building,  and (iii) does not
purport, for a specific property,  to represent the current sales price that the
Partnership  could obtain from third parties for such property.  The fulfillment
of the Partnership's  plans related to each of its properties is dependent upon,
among other things,  the presence of economic  conditions  which will enable the
Partnership  to  continue  to hold and  operate  the  properties  prior to their
eventual sale. Due to uncertainties inherent in the valuation process and in the
economy,  it is  reasonably  possible  that the actual  results of operating and
disposing of the  Partnership's  properties  could be materially  different than
current expectations.

Depreciation is provided using the straight line method over the useful lives of
the respective assets.

Rental  Property Held for Sale - Rental  property held for sale is stated at the
lower of cost or estimated  fair value.  Estimated  fair value is computed using
estimated  sales price or appraised  value of the property and does not purport,
for a  specific  property,  to  represent  the  current  sales  price  that  the
Partnership could obtain from third parties for such property. Once the property
is classified as held for sale, the Partnership  will cease  depreciation of the
asset.

Cash Equivalents - The Partnership considers short-term  investments,  including
certificates of deposit with original  maturities of less than ninety days to be
cash equivalents.

Deferred  Financing Costs and Other Fees - The fees paid to the General Partner,
its affiliates, the lenders and the sellers in connection with the financing and
leasing of the  Partnership's  properties are amortized using the  straight-line
method over the term of the related note payable or lease.

Rental  income - Rental  income is  recognized  as  earned  over the life of the
respective leases.

Income  Taxes - No provision  for income  taxes is included in the  accompanying
financial  statements,  as the  Partnership's  results of operations  are passed
through to the partners for  inclusion in their  respective  income tax returns.
Net income (loss) and partner's equity for financial  reporting purposes differs
from the Partnership  income tax return because of different  accounting methods
used for certain items, principally the capitalization of carrying costs and the
provision for impairment of investments in real estate.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                        December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

Consolidation  and Joint Ventures - Joint ventures in which the  Partnership had
an interest of greater than 50% were consolidated in the accompanying  financial
statements  for the years ended  December  31, 1995 and 1994.  All  intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in joint ventures in which the Partnership has an interest of 50% or
less are accounted for using the equity method.  Such  investments are stated at
cost plus advances and the  Partnership's  proportionate  share of earnings less
losses and cash distributions received from the joint ventures.

Reclassifications  - Certain 1995 and 1994  balances have been  reclassified  to
conform with the current year presentation.

Note 2.           TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

In accordance with the Limited Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership pays the
General  Partner   compensation  for  services   provided  to  the  Partnership.
Glenborough   Corporation   provided  property   management   services  and  was
compensated as follows:
                                    1996            1995            1994
                                    ----           ------          -----
 Management fees                 $114,000        $143,000        $242,000
 Property management salaries     $26,000         $37,000        $141,000

The Partnership also reimbursed  Glenborough  Corporation for expenses  incurred
for services provided to the Partnership such as accounting,  investor services,
data  processing,  duplicating  and office  supplies,  legal and  administrative
services,  and the  actual  costs  of  goods  and  materials  used for or by the
Partnership.  Glenborough  Corporation  was  reimbursed  $473,000,  $552,000 and
$579,000 for such expenses in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Note 3.           INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE

The Partnership holds an undivided 49% limited partner interest and a 1% general
partner  interest in Huntington  Breakers  Apartments,  Limited  ("the  Breakers
Partnership").  The  Breakers  Partnership  owns a  342-unit  apartment  complex
located in Huntington Beach, California which was completed in March 1986.

The Partnership's share of losses from the Breakers Partnership has exceeded its
investments  in and advances to the Breakers  Partnership.  These excess  losses
have not been recognized by the Partnership as it has no plans or obligations to
fund such losses.  In the event that the Breakers  Partnership has net income in
future  periods,  only the  Partnership's  share of this  income  in  excess  of
unrecognized losses will be recorded.

Summary  condensed  balance sheet  information as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and condensed  statements of operations  for the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, are as follows (in thousands):

Note 4.           DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY

On April 28, 1995, 175 South West Temple,  a 145,075 square foot office building
in Salt  Lake  City,  Utah,  previously  owned by a joint  venture  in which the
Partnership owned an 80% general partnership interest, was sold in a foreclosure
proceeding.  The outstanding debt (including  previously  deferred interest) was
$10,095,000 while net assets totaled  $7,448,000,  resulting in an extraordinary
gain on debt forgiveness of $2,647,000.

On June 10, 1994, the Partnership  sold the Las Palomas  Apartments,  a 272-unit
apartment  complex located at 4040 Boulder  Highway in Las Vegas,  Nevada to Las
Palomas Associates, L.P., an unrelated party ("the buyer"), for $10,837,000. The
sale  proceeds  were used to payoff  loans,  which were secured by the property,
totaling   $7,078,000  and   settlement  and  other  closing  costs,   including
transaction fees payable to the general  partners.  The remaining  $2,657,000 of
net proceeds were added to the Partnership's  reserves. The gain on sale totaled
$2,088,000.

San Mar Plaza - In June 1986, the Partnership acquired San Mar Plaza, a shopping
center  located in San  Marcos,  Texas.  At December  31,  1996 the  property is
encumbered by a first deed of trust with a balance of $6,496,000 (see Note 6).

In 1995,  management  computed an internal cash flow valuation  which  indicated
that the estimated  fair value of the property was less than its carrying  value
and that  its  carrying  value  could  not be  recovered  prior to its  eventual
liquidation.  This resulted in the Partnership  recognizing a loss provision for
impairment  of  investment  in real estate of  $1,015,000  during the year ended
December 31, 1995.

Silver Creek Plaza - Through two separate  transactions,  in 1986 and 1991,  the
Partnership  acquired  a retail  shopping  center  known as Silver  Creek  Plaza
("Silver  Creek")  located in San Jose,  California.  At December 31, 1996,  the
shopping center was listed for sale.

The Partnership leases its commercial  property under  non-cancelable  operating
lease agreements.  Future minimum rents on non-cancelable operating leases as of
December 31, 1996 are as follows (in thousands):

Note 8.           PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Cash available for distributions,  to the extent deemed available by the General
Partner,  is  distributed  91% to the  Limited  Partners  and 9% to the  General
Partner.  Distributions to the Limited Partners are made first to the holders of
Current "A" Units until they receive a 9% per annum  cumulative  return on their
adjusted capital investment.  Further distributions,  if available,  are made to
holders of Growth "B" Units until they receive a cumulative  return equal to 10%
per annum on their adjusted  capital  investment.  Remaining  distributions,  if
available,  are made to  holders of  Deferred  "A" Units  until  they  receive a
cumulative  return of 16% per annum on their adjusted capital  investment.  Cash
available for  distributions  is defined as cash funds provided from  operations
less operating disbursements and amounts set aside for restoration or reserves.

At December  31,  1996,  holders of Current  "A" Units had an  original  capital
balance  of  $12,297,000  and  accumulated  priority  returns  of  approximately
$9,599,800.  Holders of Deferred  "A" Units had an original  capital  balance of

$8,428,000  and  accumulated  priority  returns  of  approximately  $14,077,000.
Holders of Growth "B" Units had an original  capital  balance of $14,275,000 and
accumulated priority returns of approximately $14,941,700.

Distributions  from other sources shall be distributed 1% to the General Partner
and 99% to the Limited  Partners in varying  allocations to the Limited Partners
pursuant to the Partnership  Agreement.  Thereafter,  all further  distributions
shall be to the General  Partner until the General  Partner has received a total
of 15% of all  distributions,  and thereafter 15% to the General Partner and 85%
to the Limited  Partners  in varying  allocations  pursuant  to the  Partnership
Agreement.

Losses will  generally  be  allocated  2% to the General  Partner and 98% to the
Limited  Partners.  All losses  allocable to the Limited  Partners will first be
allocated to the holders of Growth Units; then to the holders of Deferred Units;
and finally to the  holders of Current  Units  until  their  respective  capital
accounts have been reduced to zero.  Additional  losses will be allocated to all
Limited Partners on a prorata basis.

Income will be  allocated:  (i) first,  to those  Partners who during the fiscal
year  received,  or within the first two and  one-half  months of the  following
fiscal year are scheduled to receive, distributions from the Partnership, to the
extent of the amount of such  distributions  or such Partners'  negative equity,
whichever is less; (ii) then, to those Partners who have negative equity and who
have received  distributions  from the Partnership in prior years, to the extent
of the amount of such distributions or such Partners' negative equity, whichever
is less; (iii) then, to those Partners who have negative  equity,  to the extent
of such negative equity; and (iv) finally, in accordance with Partners' right to
future distributions from the Partnership.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of
HUNTINGTON BREAKERS APARTMENTS, LIMITED,
A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:

We  have  audited  the  accompanying   balance  sheets  of  HUNTINGTON  BREAKERS
APARTMENTS,  LIMITED, A CALIFORNIA  LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP as of December 31, 1996
and 1995, and the related  statements of operations,  partners' equity (deficit)
and cash flows for each of the three  years in the  period  ended  December  31,
1996.  These  financial  statements  and the schedule  referred to below are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedule 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,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of HUNTINGTON BREAKERS APARTMENTS,
LIMITED, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED  PARTNERSHIP as of 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.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The accompanying  schedule listed in the
index to  financial  statements  and  schedule  is  presented  for  purposes  of
complying  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission's  rules and is not a
required  part of the basic  financial  statements.  This  information  has been
subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied  in  our  audits  of the  basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 1.           ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Huntington  Breakers  Apartments,  Limited,  A  California  Limited  Partnership
("Huntington  Breakers") was reorganized on December 31, 1986 in accordance with
the  provisions  of  the  California   Revised  Limited   Partnership  Act.  The
Partnership is governed by the Second Amended and Restated  Agreement of Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), dated December 31, 1986. The Managing
General  Partner of the  Partnership  is  Outlook  Income/Growth  Fund  VIII,  A
California Limited Partnership  ("Outlook").  Outlook was admitted to Huntington
Breakers on December 31, 1986. The other partners are Wilmore City  Development,
Inc., a California Corporation  ("Wilmore"),  Joseph P. Mayer, III ("J. Mayer"),
Rose Marie Semingson ("R.M. Semingson"),  Daniel H. Young ("Young"),  Eleanor C.
Mayer ("E. Mayer"), and Huntington Breakers Managing  Partnership,  a California
general   partnership   comprised  of  Wilmore  and  J.  Mayer   ("Wilmore/Mayer
Partnership"),  collectively "Other Partners".  The structure of the Partnership
Units and their respective ownership is as follows:

The  purpose  of the  Partnership  is to own and  operate  a 342 unit  apartment
complex located in the City of Huntington Beach, Orange County,  California (the
"Property").  The  Property  is  encumbered  by  first  and  second  trust  deed
promissory notes in the amounts of $16,000,000 and $3,761,000, respectively.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting - The accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared
on the  accrual  basis of  accounting  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles  under the presumption that the Partnership will continue
as a going concern.

Use of Estimates - The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles require management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the results of operations  during the reporting  period.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties - The Partnership's ability to (i) achieve positive cash
flow  from   operations,   (ii)  meet  its  debt   obligations,   (iii)  provide

                          Notes to Financial Statements

              For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

distributions  either  from  operations  or  the  ultimate  disposition  of  the
Partnership's properties or (iv) continue as a going concern, may be impacted by
changes in interest rates, property values,  geographic economic conditions,  or
the entry of other  competitors  into the  market.  The  accompanying  financial
statements do not provide for adjustments with regard to these uncertainties.

Investments in Real Estate - In March 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 121 (SFAS 121),
"Accounting  for  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and  Long-Lived  Assets to be
Disposed Of." The  Partnership  adopted SFAS 121 in the fourth  quarter of 1995.
SFAS 121  requires  that  long-lived  assets be carried at the lower of carrying
amount or fair  value  and that an  evaluation  of an  individual  property  for
possible  impairment be performed  whenever  events or changes in  circumstances
indicate that an impairment may have occurred.

Rental  properties  are stated at cost unless events or  circumstances  indicate
that cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property
is reduced to estimated fair value. Estimated fair value for financial reporting
purposes:  (i) is based upon the Partnership's  plans for continued operation of
each property;  (ii) is computed using  estimated  sales price, as determined by
prevailing   market  values  for  comparable   properties   and/or  the  use  of
capitalization  rates multiplied by annualized rental income based upon the age,
construction and use of the building, and (iii) does not purport, for a specific
property, to represent the current sales price that the Partnership could obtain
from third parties for such property. The fulfillment of the Partnership's plans
related to each of its  properties is dependent  upon,  among other things,  the
presence of economic conditions which will enable the Partnership to continue to
hold  and  operate  the  properties   prior  to  their  eventual  sale.  Due  to
uncertainties  inherent  in the  valuation  process  and in the  economy,  it is
reasonably  possible  that the actual  results of operating and disposing of the
Partnership's   properties   could  be   materially   different   than   current
expectations.

Depreciation is provided using the straight line method over the useful lives of
the respective assets.

Deferred  Financing  and  Other  Fees  - The  costs  associated  with  obtaining
financing  are  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis  over  the  lives  of  the
respective notes.

Income Taxes - No  provisions  for income taxes is included in the  accompanying
financial  statements,  as the  Partnership's  results of operations  are passed
through to the partners for  inclusion in their  respective  income tax returns.
Net  income  (loss) and  partners'  equity  (deficit)  for  financial  reporting
purposes  differs from the  Partnership  income tax return  because of different
accounting methods used for certain items,  principally the depreciation and the
provisions for impairment of investments in real estate.

Huntington  Breakers' tax returns, the qualification of Huntington Breakers as a
partnership  for federal  income tax purposes,  and the amount of income or loss
are subject to  examination  by federal and state  taxing  authorities.  If such
examinations  result in changes to Huntington  Breakers' taxable income or loss,
the tax liability of the partners could change accordingly.

Reclassifications  - Certain 1995 and 1994  balances have been  reclassified  to
conform with the current year presentation.

On July 1, 1996,  the  $16,000,000  note payable was paid-off with proceeds from
the sale of Weekly Rate Demand Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bonds, 1996
Series A ("the 1996 Bonds"), issued by the City of Huntington Beach of behalf of
the  partnership.  Concurrent  with and as a result of the  issuance of the 1996
Bonds,  Huntington  Breakers  entered into a new loan agreement for $16,000,000.
Loan fees and issuance costs totaling $168,000 and $355,000,  respectively, were
incurred in  connection  with the new note  payable and the issuance of the 1996
Bonds.   Huntington  Breakers  has  projected  an  annual  interest  savings  of
approximately $312,000 based on the December 31, 1996 effective interest rates.

The 1996 Bonds are limited  obligations of the City of Huntington  Beach payable

Huntington  Breakers and from drawings on the related letter of credit. The 1996
Bonds are subject to mandatory  tender and  redemption on various dates prior to
the expiration of the above mentioned letter of credit on June 15, 2001.

On June 1, 1996,  Huntington  Breakers  amended and restated the $4,500,000 note
payable  secured by a second  trust deed.  The  partnership  obtained  favorable
variable rate  financing and a five year  extension of the maturity  date.  Loan
fees totaling  $45,000 were incurred in connection  with the  refinancing of the
note. On July 1, 1996, a $500,000 principal payment was made on the note.

Total  loan  fees  incurred  in  1996  include   $196,000  paid  to  Glenborough
Corporation,  the Managing  General  Partner of Outlook,  in connection with the
debt refinancing.

Huntington   Breakers  must  comply  with  certain  covenants  relating  to  the
aforementioned  notes which include maintenance of a Cash Collateral Account, as
defined,  quarterly  excess property  income,  and the holding open for lease at
least 20% of the property's units to tenants qualifying as "low income". For the
year ended December 31, 1996 the  partnership  paid $239,000 in excess  property
income  payments.  It  is  management's  opinion  that  the  Partnership  is  in
compliance with all required terms of the loan agreement.


Note 3.                    NOTES PAYABLE TO OUTLOOK INCOME/GROWTH FUND VIII

The notes payable to Outlook represent original advances to Huntington  Breakers
to support operations,  and interest accrued on such advances.  In 1992, Outlook
assumed the partnership's notes payable to August Financial  Corporation and the
balance due to August Management, Inc. In 1996 and 1995, Huntington Breakers was
advanced an additional $440,000 and $231,000,  respectively, and repaid $200,000
and  $140,000,  respectively,  resulting in a net  increase in notes  payable to
Outlook of $240,000 and $91,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Interest accrues
monthly  on the  outstanding  balance  less the  original  advances  due  August
Management,  Inc.  of  $204,000,  at the rate of  prime  plus 1 1/2%  (9.75%  at
December 31, 1996) and is added to  principal.  The advances are  unsecured  and
payment is due upon demand.

Note 4.                     DUE TO WILMORE CITY DEVELOPMENT

The amount due to Wilmore  City  Development  ("Wilmore")  represents  unsecured
advances made by Wilmore to Huntington Breakers prior to December 31, 1986. This
liability  has no fixed  maturity and is  subordinate  to all  distributions  to
Outlook  and  will be  repaid  solely  in lieu of other  distributions  to which
Wilmore would be entitled.

Note 5.                    MANAGEMENT FEES

Outlook, as Managing General Partner of Huntington Breakers, has contracted with
Glenborough Corporation ("Glenborough") for the provision of property management
services. Huntington Breakers paid management fees to Glenborough of 5% of total
rents collected for each of the years disclosed.

Note 6.                    PARTNERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss - Net losses from operations are generally
allocated ninety-nine percent (99%) to Outlook and one percent (1%) to the Other
Partners  in  proportion  to the  number  of  units  held by  each of the  Other

              For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
Partners.  Net income from  operations will be allocated in the same amounts and
in the same ratios as any  distributions  made to the partners,  and then in the
same amounts and in the same ratios that previous allocations of net losses from
operations were made to the partners.
Thereafter, allocations will be made to the partners in proportion to the number
of units held by each partner.

Allocations of income and loss from the sale or refinancing of the Property will
be made in  accordance  with  priorities  outlined  in the  Huntington  Breakers
Partnership Agreement.

Distributions of Cash - Distributions of cash from operations will be paid first
to  Outlook  in an amount  equal to the  "Current  Year  Operational  Preference
Account" (see discussion  which  follows),  then to the partners in repayment of
any unpaid advances or loans, and interest accrued thereon, made by the partners
to  Huntington  Breakers,  then to  Outlook in an amount  equal to the  "Accrued
Operational  Preference Account" (see discussion which follows), and then 25% to
Outlook and 75% to the Other Partners pro rata in accordance with their units.

Distributions  from  the sale or  refinancing  of the  Property  will be made in
accordance  with  priorities  outlined in the  Huntington  Breakers  Partnership
Agreement.

Operational Preference Account - Beginning January 1, 1990, Outlook was credited
with a preference for  distributions  of $850,000,  and on the first day of each
Partnership  year  beginning  January 1, 1990 the  preference  amount balance is
increased by $700,000  (aggregate  preference of $6,450,000 at January 1, 1997).
(The  balance  is  accounted  for in memo form only and is not  included  in the
financial  statements  of  Huntington  Breakers or  Outlook).  Decreases  in the
preference  balance  will  occur  as  distributions  are  made to  Outlook  with
reference to this preference  amount.  The "Current Year Operational  Preference
Account" is the  operational  preference  amount  applicable to the then current
calendar year. The "Accrued Operational Preference Account" is the total balance
in the Operational  Preference Account as of the immediately  preceding December
31st.

Guaranteed Payment - The Huntington Breakers Partnership  Agreement provides for
payment to Outlook of $375,000 in each of 1987 and 1988,  and  $500,000 in 1989.
As of December 31, 1989,  these  guaranteed  payments had not been made. At that
time, the Partners  agreed that the unpaid amounts should accrue interest at the
rate of 8% per year, compounded annually, from the date the payment was due. The
Partners  agreed that the total  amount owed to Outlook as of December  31, 1989
was  $1,342,000  and that the amount should  continue to accrue  interest at the
rate of 8% per year, compounded annually,  commencing January 1, 1990 (aggregate
balance of $2,229,968  at December 31,  1996).  (The balance is accounted for in
memo form only and is not included in the  financial  statements  of  Huntington
Breakers  or  Outlook).  If by  December  31,  1999,  or  the  sale  of  all  or
substantially  all of the  property  by  Huntington  Breakers,  Outlook  has not
received payment in full of the entire Guaranteed Payment, together with accrued
interest, then the Other Partners will pay Outlook, outside Huntington Breakers,
the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Payment plus interest.

Due  to/from  Other  Partners  - The net  amount  due to (from)  Other  Partners
included in Partners' Equity (Deficit) is comprised of the following:
