                         REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VIII
                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         DECEMBER 31, 1995 (audited) and
                           MARCH 31, 1996 (unaudited)

1.       ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL
     Redwood Mortgage Investors VIII, (the Partnership), is a California Limited
Partnership,  of which the General Partners are D. Russell  Burwell,  Michael R.
Burwell  (Individual  General  Partners)  and Gymno  Corporation,  a  California
corporation  owned  and  operated  by  the  Individual  General  Partners.   The
Partnership  was  organized  to engage in business as a mortgage  lender for the
primary  purpose of making loans  secured by Deeds of Trust on  California  real
estate.  Partnership  loans are being arranged and serviced by Redwood Home Loan
Co. (RHL Co.), dba Redwood Mortgage,  an affiliate of the General  Partners.  At
March 31, 1996, the Partnership was in the offering stage,  wherein  contributed
capital  totalled  $11,708,569 in limited partner  contributions  of an approved
$15,000,000  issue,  in units of $100 each.  All applicants had been admitted to
the Partnership at March 31, 1996.

     A  minimum  of 2,500  units  ($250,000)  and a  maximum  of  150,000  units
($15,000,000)  are being offered through qualified  broker-dealers.  As mortgage
loans are identified, partners are transferred from applicant status to admitted
partners  participating  in mortgage  loan  operations.  Each  months  income is
distributed  to  partners  based  upon  their  proportionate  share of  partners
capital.  Some partners have elected to withdraw income on a monthly,  quarterly
or annual basis.

A.       SALES COMMISSIONS - FORMATION LOAN
     Sales  commissions  ranging from 0% (units sold by General Partners) to 10%
of gross  proceeds  are  being  paid by RHL Co.,  an  affiliate  of the  General
Partners  that  arranges and services the mortgage  loans.  To finance the sales
commissions,  the Partnership will loan to RHL Co., an amount not to exceed 9.1%
of the gross  proceeds;  provided that amounts funded under the Formation  Loan,
until the minimum  offering amount was obtained,  could equal up to 10% of gross
proceeds.  The General  partners have  estimated  that the  Formation  Loan will
approximate  7.1% of the gross  proceeds.  The Formation Loan will be unsecured,
and will be repaid,  without interest,  in ten annual installments of principal,
which will  commence on January 1,  following the year the offering  closes.  At
March 31, 1996,  RHL Co., had borrowed  $817,027 from the  Partnership  to cover
sales commissions  relating to $11,708,569  Limited  Partners  contributions to
date.

B.       Other Organizational and Offering Expenses
     Organizational  and  offering  expenses,   other  than  sales  commissions,
(including printing costs, attorney and accountant fees, registration and filing
fees, and other costs),  will be paid by the  Partnership up to 10% of the gross
proceeds of the offering or $600,000,  whichever is less.  The General  Partners
will pay any amount of such expenses in excess of the lesser of 10% of the gross
proceeds or $600,000.

     At March 31, 1996, organization costs of approximately $12,500 and offering
costs of $505,485,  net of early withdrawal penalties applied, had been incurred
by the Partnership,  which is less than the 10% of the gross proceeds limitation
indicated  above. It is anticipated  that ultimately the sum of organization and
offering  costs  will be less  than the  present  level  of  4.42% of the  gross
proceeds contributed by the Partners.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenues and expenses are accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting.

     The Partnership  bears its own  organization  and syndication  costs (other
than certain sales  commissions  and fees described  above)  including legal and
accounting  expenses,  printing  costs,  selling  expenses,  and  filling  fees.
Organizational  costs have been  capitalized  and will be amortized  over a five
year period. Syndication costs are charged against partners capital and will be
allocated to individual partners consistent with the partnership agreement.

     If  property is acquired  through  foreclosure,  it will be held for prompt
sale to return the funds to the loan  portfolio.  Such property will be recorded
at cost,  which  includes the  principal  balance of the former loan made by the
Partnership,  plus  accrued  interest,  payments  made to keep the senior  loans
current,  costs of obtaining  title and  possession,  less rental income,  or at
estimated  net  realizable  value.  The  difference  between  such  costs  and
estimated net  realizable  value will be deducted from cost in the Balance Sheet
to arrive at the carrying value of such property.  At March 31, 1996,  there was
no property acquired through foreclosure.

     Mortgage  loans and the related  accrued  interest,  fees and  advances are
analyzed on a continuous basis for recoverability.  Delinquencies are identified
and  followed as part of the  mortgage  loan  system.  A  provision  is made for
doubtful  accounts to adjust the  allowance  for doubtful  accounts to an amount
considered by management  to be adequate to provide for  unrecoverable  accounts
receivable.

     In  preparing  the  financial  statements,  management  is required to make
estimates based on the information available that affect the reported amounts of
assets and  liabilities  as of the balance  sheet date and revenues and expenses
for the related period.  Such estimates relate  principally to the determination
of the allowance for doubtful accounts and the valuation of real estate acquired
through  foreclosure.  Actual  results  could  differ  significantly  from these
estimates.

     No provision  for Federal and State  income taxes is made in the  financial
statements  since  income taxes are the  obligation  of the partners if and when
income taxes apply.

     Amounts  reflected  in the  statements  of income as net  income per $1,000
invested by Limited Partners for the entire period are actual amounts  allocated
to Limited  Partners who have their  investment  throughout  the period and have
elected to either  leave their  earnings to compound or have  elected to receive
monthly  distributions of their net income.  Individual income is allocated each
month based on the limited partners pro rata share of partners capital. Because
the net income  percentage  varies from month to month,  amounts per $1,000 will
vary for those individuals who make or withdrew  investments  during the period,
or select other options. However, the net income per $1,000 average invested has
approximated  those  reflected  for those whose  investments  and  options  have
remained constant.

     The interim financial  statements dated March 31, 1996, are unaudited,  but
in the opinion of the General  Partners  all  adjustments  (consisting  soley of
normal adjustments) necessary to a fair presentation of the financial statements
at March 31, 1996, have been made.

3.       GENERAL PARTNERS AND RELATED PARTIES
     The following are commissions and/or fees which will be paid to the General
Partners and/or related parties.

A.       Loan Brokerage Commissions
     Fees in connection with the review, selection, evaluation, negotiation, and
extension of Partnership  loans in an amount up to 12% of loans until six months
after the  termination  date of the  offering  are paid to Redwood Home Loan Co.
Thereafter,  loan  brokerage  commissions  will be  limited  to an amount not to
exceed  4% of  the  total  Partnership  assets  per  year.  The  loan  brokerage
commissions  are  paid  by  the  borrowers,  and  thus,  not an  expense  of the
Partnership.

B.       Loan Servicing Fees
     Monthly loan  servicing fees of up to the lesser of 1/8 of 1% (1.5% annual)
of the unpaid  principal is paid to Redwood Home Loan Co., or such lesser amount
as is  reasonable  and  customary  in the  geographic  area  where the  property
securing the loan is located.  Currently,  such servicing fees are at 1/12 of 1%
per month (1% annually).  Amounts  remitted to the  Partnership  and recorded as
interest on  mortgage  loans is net of such fees.  In 1993,  $3,028 of the total
loan  servicing  fees of $8,528  were  waived by Redwood  Home Loan Co. In 1994,
$15,278 of the total loan servicing  fees of $44,405 were also waived.  In 1995,
and for the three months  through  March 31,  1996,  RHL received the total loan
servicing fees earned of $85,456 and $35,460 respectively.

C.       Asset Management Fee
     The  General   Partners  will  receive  a  monthly  fee  for  managing  the
Partnerships  loan  portfolio and  operations  equal to up to 1/32 of 1% of the
net asset  value (3/8 of 1% per year).  Such fees were  reduced from $4,331 to
$192 in 1993,  with the difference  being waived by the General  Partners.  Fees
were reduced from $17,718 to $5,906 in 1994 with the difference being waived. In
1995, fees were reduced from $34,773 to $11,587 and for the three months through
March 31,  1996,  the fees were also  reduced  from  $11,226 to $3,742  with the
difference being waived by the General Partners.

D.       Other Fees
     The  Partnership  Agreement  provides for other fees such as  reconveyance,
loan assumption and loan extension fees. Such fees are incurred by the borrowers
and are paid to parties related to the General Partners.

E.       Income and Losses
     All income  will be  credited  or charged to  partners in relation to their
respective  partnership  interests.  The  partnership  interest  of the  General
partners (combined) shall be a total of 1%.

F.       Operating Expenses
     The  General  Partners  or their  affiliate  (Redwood  Home  Loan  Co.) are
reimbursed by the Partnership for all operating  expenses  actually  incurred by
them on behalf of the Partnership,  including without limitation,  out-of-pocket
general and  administration  expenses of the  Partnership,  accounting and audit
fees,  legal fees and expenses,  postage and  preparation  of reports to Limited
Partners.  Such  reimbursements  are  reflected as expenses in the  Statement of
Income.

     The General Partners, collectively or severally are to contribute an amount
equal to 1/10 of 1% of cash  contributions  as proceeds  from the  offering  are
admitted to Limited Partner  capital.  As of March 31, 1996, a General  Partner,
GYMNO Corporation, had contributed $11,017 as capital in accordance with Section
4.02 (a) of the Partnership Agreement.

4.       OTHER PARTNERSHIP PROVISIONS
A.       Applicant Status
     Subscription  funds  received from  purchasers of units are not admitted to
the Partnership until appropriate  lending  opportunities are available.  During
the period prior to the time of admission,  which is anticipated to be between 1
- - -120 days in most cases,  purchasers  subscriptions will remain irrevocable and
will earn interest at money market rates,  which are lower than the  anticipated
return on the Partnerships loan portfolio.
<PAGE>

     During the periods  ending  December 31, 1995,  1994, and 1993, and for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, interest totalling $18,908,  $14,443,  $4,641
and $850  respectively,  was  credited to partners  while they were in applicant
status.  As loans were made and partners were  transferred  to regular status to
begin  sharing in income  from loans  secured  by deeds of trust,  the  interest
credited was either paid to the investors or  transferred  to partners  capital
along with the original investment.

B.       Term of the Partnership
     The term of the  Partnership  is  approximately  40  years,  unless  sooner
terminated as provided. The provisions provide for no capital withdrawal for the
first five years, except as discussed in (E) below.  Thereafter,  investors have
the right to withdraw over a five-year period, or longer.

C.       Election to Receive Monthly, Quarterly or Annual Distributions
     Upon subscription,  investors elect either to receive monthly, quarterly or
annual distributions of earnings allocations,  or to allow earnings to compound.
Subject  to  certain  limitations,  an  investor  may  subsequently  change  his
election.

D.       Profits and Losses

E.       Liquidity, Capital Withdrawals and Early Withdrawals
     There  are  substantial   restrictions  on  transferability  of  Units  and
accordingly an investment in the Partnership is illiquid.  Limited Partners have
no right to  withdraw  from the  Partnership  or to obtain  the  return of their
capital  account for at least one year from the date of  purchase  of units.  In
order to provide a certain degree of liquidity to the Limited Partners after the
one-year  period,  Limited  Partners may  withdraw all or part of their  Capital
Accounts from the  Partnership in four quarterly  installments  beginning on the
last day of the calendar  quarter  following  the quarter in which the notice of
withdrawal  is given,  (30 days  notice  is  required),  subject  to a 10% early
withdrawal  penalty.  The 10% penalty is applicable to the amount  withdrawn and
will be deducted from the Capital  Account and the balance  distributed  in four
quarterly installments.  Withdrawal after the one-year holding period and before
the  five-year  holding  period will be permitted  only upon the terms set forth
above.

     Limited Partners will also have the right after five years from the date of
purchase of the Units to withdraw from the Partnership on an installment  basis,
generally  over a five year  period in twenty  (20)  quarterly  installments  or
longer.  No  penalty  will be  imposed  if  withdrawal  is made in  twenty  (20)
quarterly installments or longer. Notwithstanding the minimum twenty installment
withdrawal procedure, a Limited Partner may liquidate all or a part of a Limited
Partners capital account in four quarterly  installments  beginning on the last
day of the  calendar  quarter  following  the  quarter  in which  the  notice of
withdrawal is given, subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty applicable to any
sums  withdrawn  prior to the time  when  such sums  could  have been  withdrawn
pursuant to the five-year (or longer) withdrawal period.

     The Partnership will not establish a reserve from which to fund withdrawals
and,  accordingly,  the  Partnerships  capacity  to return a  Limited  Partners
capital account is restricted to the availability of the Partnership cash flow.

F.       Guaranteed Interest Rate for Offering Period
     During the period  commencing with the day a Limited Partner is admitted to
the  Partnership  and ending 3 months after the offering  termination  date, the
General Partners shall guarantee an earnings rate equal to the greater of actual
earnings from mortgage operations or 2% above the Weighted Average Cost of Funds
Index for the Eleventh  District Savings  Institutions  (Savings & Loan & Thrift
Institutions) as computed by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco,  up to
a maximum  interest  rate of 12%.  From the date of inception  through March 31,
1996, actual realization exceeded the guaranteed amount for each month.

Item II

     MANAGEMENT  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

     On  March  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  was in  the  offering  stage,  and
contributed  capital  totalled  $11,708,569  (Limited  Partners) of the approved
$15,000,000  issue,  in units of $100 each. All investors were admitted into the
program.

     At March 31, 1996, mortgage investments totalling $13,904,828 had been made
with interest rates ranging from 10.00% to 14.50%. The Partnership began funding
mortgage loans on April 14, 1993 and as of March 31, 1996, distributed income at
an average  annualized yield of 8.36%.  Currently,  mortgage interest rates have
decreased a little from those prevalent at the inception of the Partnership. New
loans will be originated at these lower interest rates. The result was to reduce
the average return across the entire portfolio held by the  Partnership.  In the
future, interest rates likely will change from their current levels. The General
Partners  cannot at this time predict at what levels  interest  rates will be in
the future.  Although the rates charged by the Partnership are influenced by the
level of interest  rates in the market,  the General  Partners do not anticipate
that rates charged by the Partnership to its borrowers will change significantly
from the beginning of 1995 over the next 12 months. Based upon the rates payable
in connection  with the existing  loans,  the current and  anticipated  interest
rates to be charged by the Partnership and the General Partners experience, the
General Partners anticipate that the annualized yield will range between eight &
nine percent (8% - 9%).

     The Partnership established a line of credit with a commercial bank secured
by its  mortgage  loans to a limit of  $3,000,000.  Currently,  it has  borrowed
$2,871,000 at an interest rate of prime + 3/4%.  This facility could increase as
the  Partnership  capital  increases.  This  added  source of funds will help in
maximizing the Partnership  yield because the loans made by the Partnership bear
interest at a rate in excess of the rate payable to the bank which  extended the
line of credit.  As a result,  once the  principal  and  interest is paid to the
bank, the amount to be retained by the Partnership  will be greater than without
the use of the line of credit.  As of March 31,  1996,  the balance  remained at
$2,871,000 and in accordance with the line of credit,  the Partnership  paid all
accrued interest as of that date.

     Northern  California has been  experiencing  an economic slump over five of
the last six  years,  fueled by a  downturn  in the  aerospace,  communications,
banking and retail trade industries,  and in the federal government sector. This
slump has been, and continues to be, reflected in property values,  to a greater
or lesser degree depending upon location. The Partnership's income and expenses,
accruals and  delinquencies are within the normal range of the General Partners
expectations,  based upon their experience in managing similar Partnerships over
the last nineteen years. Cash is constantly being generated from  subscriptions,
interest earnings, late charges,  pre-payments penalties,  amortization of Notes
and pay-off of Notes.  Currently,  this amount substantially exceeds Partnership
expenses  and  earnings  payout  requirements.   As  loan  opportunities  become
available,  excess  cash and  available  funds are  invested  in new loans

     The  General  Partners  are  continually   reviewing  the  loan  portfolio,
examining the status of delinquencies,  the underlyingcollateral  securing these
properties,  borrowers  payment  records,  etc..  Data on the local real  estate
market  and on the  national  and local  economy  are  studied.  Based upon this
information and other data, loss reserves are increased or decreased.  Currently
loss reserves are $42,731 which the General Partners consider as being adequate.
Because  of the  number of  variables  involved,  the  magnitude  of the  swings
possible and the General  Partners  inability to control many of these  factors,
actual results may and do sometimes differ  significantly from estimates made by
the General Partners.
