Item 4. Change in Registrants' Certifying Accountant
A. Bruce Cropper, a partner in the accounting firm of Parodi & Cropper has
been providing audit and accounting services to Redwood Mortgage Investors VIII
since its inception in 1993. Mr. Cropper also has been performing audit and
accounting services to the general partners of the Registrant and their
affiliates for over 15 years. In 1999, Mr. Cropper's partner sold his portion of
their practice. Mr. Cropper decided to merge his portion of the practice into an
existing CPA firm known as "Caporicci & Larson" with offices in Irvine and
Walnut Creek, California. Upon the merger, the firm of Parodi & Cropper was
dissolved and Caporicci & Larson became Caporicci, Cropper & Larson, LLP. As a
result of the dissolution of Parodi & Cropper and Mr. Cropper's merger of his
existing practice into Caporicci, Cropper & Larson, LLP the Partnership has
retained the firm of Caporicci, Cropper & Larson, LLP to provide its audit and
financial services. Thus, although there has been a change in accounting firms,
there has not been a change in accountants.
Item 5. Other Material Events.
On February 7, 2000, the General Partners of the Registrant pursuant to
Section 12.4(d) of the Partnership Agreement admitted Redwood Mortgage Corp., a
California corporation, as a General Partner of the Partnership. Redwood
Mortgage Corp. is an affiliate of the general partners. Redwood Mortgage Corp.
was incorporated in 1978. Its principal stockholder is D. Russell Burwell, a
general partner of the Registrant. Redwood Mortgage Corp. is a licensed real
estate broker and has been engaged primarily in the business of arranging and
servicing mortgage loans. Redwood Mortgage Corp. has been arranging and
servicing the Registrant's loans since its inception. The General Partners
believe that the addition of Redwood Mortgage Corp. as a General Partner will
strengthen the Registrant's management team.
