                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      JUNE 30, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994


(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Nature of Operations

          IEA Income Fund VIII, A California Limited Partnership (the
          "Partnership") was organized under the laws of the State of
          California on August 31, 1987 for the purpose of owning and leasing
          marine cargo containers.  Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC") is the general
          partner and, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the
          "Leasing Company"), manages and controls the business of the
          Partnership.

     (b)  Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement

          Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, all
          authority to administer the business of the Partnership is vested in
          CCC.  CCC has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the
          Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing
          operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership.  Pursuant to
          the Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing,
          managing and re-leasing the Partnership's containers to ocean
          carriers and has full discretion over which ocean carriers and
          suppliers of goods and services it may deal with.  The Leasing Agent
          Agreement permits the Leasing Company to use the containers owned by
          the Partnership, together with other containers owned or managed by
          the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet
          operated without regard to ownership.  Since the Leasing Agent
          Agreement meets the definition of an operating lease in Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as
          a lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company
          is lessee.

          The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing
          Company will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals
          collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating
          expenses and management fees to CCC.  The Leasing Company leases
          containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which
          are either master leases or term leases (mostly two to five years).
          Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be
          leased or the term that each container will remain on hire but allow
          the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off containers at various
          locations; rentals are based upon the number of containers used and
          the applicable per-diem rate.  Accordingly, rentals under master
          leases are all variable and contingent upon the number of containers
          used.  Most containers are leased to ocean carriers under master
          leases; leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material
          to the financial statements.  Since there are no material minimum
          lease rentals, no disclosure of minimum lease rentals is provided in
          these financial statements.

     (c)  Basis of Accounting

          The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting.  Revenue
          is recognized when earned.

     (d)  Financial Statement Presentation

          These financial statements have been prepared without audit.  Certain
          information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
          statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          procedures have been omitted.  It is suggested that these financial
          statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
          accompanying notes in the Partnership's latest annual report on Form
          10-K.

          The interim financial statements presented herewith reflect all
          adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of
          management, necessary to a fair statement of the financial condition
          and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

(2)  Net Lease Receivables Due from Leasing Company

     Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company are determined by
     deducting direct operating payables and accrued expenses, base management
     fees payable, and reimbursed administrative expenses payable to CCC and
     its affiliates from the rental billings payable by the Leasing Company to
     the Partnership under operating leases to ocean carriers for the
     containers owned by the Partnership.  Net lease receivables at 
     June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were as follows:

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

It is suggested that the following discussion be read in conjunction with the
Registrant's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

1)   Material changes in financial condition between June 30, 1995 and December
     31, 1994.

     The Registrant's cash balances at June 30, 1995 included sales proceeds
     from equipment disposals in the amount of $53,733.  The Registrant will
     distribute these sales proceeds and $550,763 of cash from operations
     during the third quarter of 1995, representing distributions to its
     limited partners for the second quarter of 1995.

     Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company decreased approximately
     $11,622 from December 31, 1994.  Direct operating payables and accrued
     expense, a component of net lease receivables, were significant factors
     contributing to this decline.  Direct operating payables and accrued
     expenses increased $72,291 as a result of a $34,347 increase in accrued
     operating expenses and a $37,944 increase in deferred revenue from advance
     billings to container lessees.  The increase in direct operating payables
     and accrued expense was partially offset by a $31,312 reduction in the
     reserve for container repairs covered by the damage protection plan.
     During the first six-months of 1995, this reserve was impacted by the
     Registrant's declining fleet size and the number of containers covered
     under the plan.

2)   Material changes in the results of operations between the three and
     six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and the three and six-month periods
     ended June 30, 1994.

     During the three-month period ended June 30, 1995, the container leasing
     market remained consistent with market conditions that existed during the
     three-month period ended March 31, 1995.  The Registrant continued to
     experience the ability to charge higher ancillary revenues, such as
     pick-up fees, and reduce incentives offered to ocean carriers.  However,
     the Registrant remains cautious about any further improvement in market
     conditions during the remainder of 1995.

     The benefits of the improved market conditions experienced during the
     three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, as compared to the same
     periods in 1994, were partially offset by the effect of the Leasing
     Company's efforts to improve the credit quality of its customer portfolio.
     Accordingly, average per-diem rental rates moderately increased
     approximately 2% and 3% as compared to those experienced during the same
     three and six-month periods in 1994, while an increasing proportion of the
     lessees within its portfolio shifted to larger, high credit quality
     lessees.  The Registrant expects to gain long term benefits from the
     improvement in the credit quality of its customers, as the allowance for
     doubtful accounts and related expenses should decline.  The moderate
     increase in per-diem rental rates partially offset the effects of lower
     utilization and a smaller operating fleet.

     The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three
     and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:

     Rental equipment operating expenses increased 45% and 36% during the three
     and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to
     the same periods in the prior year.  These increases were attributable to
     expenses typically associated with lower utilization rates, including
     repair and maintenance, storage and handling, as well as those costs
     associated with the recovery actions against the doubtful accounts of
     certain lessees, including legal, container recovery expenses and the
     related provision for doubtful accounts.
