Equipment, net of accumulated depreciation $ 3,761,095
===========
</TABLE>
At June 30, 1996, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included equipment
having a proportionate original cost of $10,077,358, representing
approximately 84% of total equipment cost.
The summary above includes fully depreciated equipment with an original
cost of approximately $107,000 which is not subject to an active lease
agreement.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership recorded a write-
down, representing an impairment in value, pertaining to its interest in a
Lockheed L-1011 aircraft. This adjustment was precipitated by continuing
deterioration in the secondary market for wide-body aircraft of this type.
Several air carriers have reduced their commitment to the L-1011 and,
currently, a major domestic air carrier is expected to retire eleven L-1011
aircraft from its fleet. Further, it appears that future demand for this
type of aircraft will be weak, consisting principally of air cargo carriers
or operators of passenger charters. In consideration of such circumstances
and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of, the Partnership reduced the carrying value of its
L-1011 aircraft interest to its estimated current fair market value. This
resulted in a write-down of $400,000, representing $5.29 per limited
partnership unit.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
-----------------------------------
All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by AFG on
behalf of the Partnership and AFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such
expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during each of the six month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, which were paid or accrued by the
Partnership to AFG or its Affiliates, are as follows:

All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly
to either AFG or to a lender. AFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the
Partnership. At June 30, 1996 the Partnership was owed $126,251 by AFG for
such funds and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the
Partnership in July 1996.
NOTE 6 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
--------------------------
On March 15, 1993, Herman's Sporting Goods, Inc., a lessee of the
Partnership (the "Debtor"), filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code in the United States District Court, Trenton, New Jersey (the
"District Court"). Certain unpaid rents due to the Partnership were scheduled
by the Debtor as unsecured claims. Upon order of the District Court, renewal
rental schedules for all equipment leased to the Debtor by the Partnership
were executed and are currently in effect. On August 23, 1994, the District
Court confirmed the Debtor's First Modified Plan of Reorganization, as
Amended and Modified. On April 26, 1996, the Debtor refiled for protection
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the District Court. Rents due to
the Partnership pursuant to the renewal schedules due to expire on June 30,
1996 were scheduled by the Debtor as unsecured claims. At June 30, 1996, the
Partnership was due $10,610 from the Debtor with respect to its 1993 and 1996
unsecured claims. The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes equipment
on lease to the Debtor with an original cost of approximately $597,222, which
is expected to be purchased by the Debtor, and is fully depreciated for
financial reporting purposes. This equipment represents approximately 5% of
the Partnership's aggregate equipment portfolio at June 30, 1996. These
Bankruptcies did not have a material adverse effect on the financial position
of the Partnership.

Three and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the three and six months
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ended June 30, 1995:
--------------------
Overview
--------
The Partnership was organized in 1987 as a direct-participation equipment
leasing program to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment
subject to lease agreements with third parties. The Partnership's stated
investment objectives and policies contemplated that the Partnership would
wind-up its operations within approximately seven years of its inception.
Accordingly, the General Partner is pursuing the remarketing of all of the
Partnership's remaining equipment and has engaged an investment adviser to
solicit interested third-party buyers. This effort is being undertaken in
conjunction with certain other affiliated partnerships and, if successful,
would result in the sale of each affected partnership's assets to a selected
buyer. The General Partner believes this approach will (i) maximize the
disposition prices of each partnership's assets and (ii) prevent the
incidence of future expenses to operate a publicly-registered limited
partnership with a declining asset base. The General Partner is evaluating
expressions of interest submitted by the investment adviser from a number of
potential buyers, but is under no obligation to accept any proposal. If
successful, the General Partner anticipates that it would wind-up the
operations of the Partnership and make a liquidating distribution to the
Partners, net of any cash reserves which the General Partner may consider
appropriate, on or before December 31, 1996.
Results of Operations
---------------------
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership
recognized lease revenue of $237,462 and $462,731, respectively, compared to
$384,797 and $746,821 for the same periods in 1995. The decrease in lease
revenue from 1995 to 1996 was expected and resulted from renewal lease term
expirations and the sale of equipment. The Partnership also earns interest
income from temporary investments of rental receipts and equipment sales
proceeds in short-term instruments.
The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the
Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the
remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated equipment leasing
program sponsored by AFG. Proportionate equipment ownership enables the
Partnership to further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in
the ownership of selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk
which could result from a concentration in any single equipment type,
industry or lessee. The Partnership and each affiliate individually report,
in proportion to their respective ownership interests, their respective
shares of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses associated with the
equipment.
During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership sold equipment
which had been fully depreciated to existing lessees and third parties.
These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of
$900. There were no equipment sales during the three months ended June 30,
1995.
During the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership sold
equipment, which had been fully depreciated, to existing lessees and third
parties. These sales resulted in net gains, for financial statement
purposes, of $41,728 and $30,000, respectively.
It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a
net gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be
dependent upon the condition and type of equipment being sold and its
marketability at the time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss
reported for financial statement
9
<PAGE>
AMERICAN INCOME 8 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
FORM 10-Q
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
purposes is partly a function of the amount of accumulated depreciation
associated with the equipment being sold.
The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent upon many factors, including AFG's ability to sell and re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological
advances, and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset
values at any given time. AFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to
identify opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which
will maximize total cash returns for each asset.
The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is
comprised of all primary lease term revenues generated from that asset,
together with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds
realized upon the asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts
obtained from renting the asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month
basis. The Partnership classifies such residual rental payments as lease
revenue. Consequently, the amount of gain or loss reported in the financial
statements is not necessarily indicative of the total residual value the
Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment.
Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$161,885 and $323,770, respectively, compared to $172,439 and $344,878 for
the same periods in 1995. For financial reporting purposes, to the extent
that an asset is held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciates the
difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual
value of the asset on a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of
this policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment
values at the date of primary lease expiration. To the extent that an asset
is held beyond its primary lease term, the Partnership continues to
depreciate the remaining net book value of the asset on a straight-line basis
over the asset's remaining economic life.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership recorded a write-
down, representing an impairment in value, pertaining to its interest in a
Lockheed L-1011 aircraft. This adjustment was precipitated by continuing
deterioration in the secondary market for wide-body aircraft of this type.
Several air carriers have reduced their commitment to the L-1011 and,
currently, a major domestic air carrier is expected to retire eleven L-1011
aircraft from its fleet. Further, it appears that future demand for this
type of aircraft will be weak, consisting principally of air cargo carriers
or operators of passenger charters. In consideration of such circumstances
and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of, the Partnership reduced the carrying value of its
L-1011 aircraft interest to its estimated current fair market value. This
resulted in a write-down of $400,000, representing $5.29 per limited
partnership unit.
Interest expense was $12,833 and $25,750 or 3.3% and 3.5% of lease revenue
during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995. Interest expense is not
expected to be incurred in future periods due to the retirement of all
outstanding debt obligations during 1995.
Management fees were 5% of lease revenue during each of the periods
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and will not change as a percentage of lease
revenue in future periods.
Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges,
professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as
printing, distribution and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment
storage or repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with
equipment being remarketed. Collectively, operating expenses represented
9.9% and 9.3% of lease revenue for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996, respectively, compared to 6.7% and 7.5% of lease revenue for the same
periods in 1995. The amount of future operating expenses cannot be predicted
with certainty; however, such expenses are usually higher during the
acquisition and liquidation phases of a partnership. Other fluctuations
typically occur in relation to the volume and timing of remarketing
activities.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
------------------------------------------------------------
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity which was
established for specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview". As
an equipment leasing program, the Partnership's principal operating
activities derive from asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the
Partnership's principal source of cash from operations is provided by the
collection of periodic rents. These cash inflows have been used to satisfy
debt service obligations associated with leveraged leases, and are currently
used to pay management fees and operating costs. Operating activities
generated net cash inflows of $308,729 and $624,208 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease and equipment
sale activities will cause a gradual decline in the Partnership's lease
revenues and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses
associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow
from operating activities will decline as the Partnership experiences a
higher frequency of remarketing events.
Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under lease.
This will occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will
be sold to the existing lessee or to a third party. Generally, this will
occur upon expiration of each asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term. In
certain instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the
disposal of an asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result
in the collection of stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms and
conditions contained in the underlying lease agreements.
Cash realized from asset disposal transactions is reported under investing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the six months
ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership realized $41,728 in equipment sale
proceeds compared to $30,000 during the same period in 1995. Future inflows
of cash from asset disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be
influenced by many factors including, but not limited to, the frequency and
timing of lease expirations, the type of equipment being sold, its condition
and age, and future market conditions.
The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection with certain
equipment leases. The repayments of principal related to such indebtedness
are reported as a component of financing activities. All of the
Partnership's outstanding debt obligations were retired in 1995.
Cash distributions to the General and Limited Partners are declared and
generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each calendar
quarter. The payment of such distributions is presented as a component of
financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the
Partnership declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From
Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $283,530.
In accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of
Limited Partnership, the Limited Partners were allocated 99% of these
distributions, or $280,695, and the General Partner was allocated 1%, or
$2,835. The second quarter 1996 cash distribution was paid on July 15, 1996.
Cash distributions paid to the Limited Partners consist of both a return of
and a return on capital. To the extent that cash distributions consist of
Cash From Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions
should be viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent
and are not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment
cannot be determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Partnership
and will be dependent upon the collection of all contracted rents, the
generation of renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized
for each asset at its disposal date. Market conditions, technological
changes, the ability of AFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many
other events and circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual
asset yields and the collective performance of the Partnership's equipment
portfolio.
