NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note A – Basis of Presentation

As of December 31, 2009, National Property Investors 8 (the “Partnership” or “Registrant”) adopted the liquidation basis of accounting due to the sale of its remaining investment property (as discussed in “Note D – Disposition of Investment Property”).

As a result of the decision to liquidate the Partnership, the Partnership changed its basis of accounting for its financial statements at December 31, 2009 to the liquidation basis of accounting. Consequently, assets have been valued at estimated net realizable value and liabilities are presented at their estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated with carrying out the liquidation of the Partnership. The valuation of assets and liabilities necessarily requires many estimates and assumptions and there are substantial uncertainties in carrying out the liquidation. The actual realization of assets and settlement of liabilities could be higher or lower than amounts indicated and is based upon the managing general partner’s estimates as of the date of the financial statements.

NPI Equity Investments, Inc. (“NPI Equity” or the “Managing General Partner”) estimates that the liquidation process will be completed by September 30, 2010. Because the success in realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities is based on the Managing General Partner’s best estimates, the liquidation period may be shorter than projected or it may be extended beyond the projected period.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

The accompanying statement of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 reflects the operations of Huntington Athletic Club Apartments as loss from discontinued operations as a result of the property’s sale to a third party on December 14, 2009.

The Partnership’s management evaluated subsequent events through the time this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2009 balances to conform to the 2010 presentation.

Note B – Adjustment to Liquidation Basis of Accounting

At December 31, 2009, in accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting, assets were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value and liabilities were adjusted to their estimated settlement amount. The net adjustment of other assets and liabilities required to convert to the liquidation basis of accounting was a decrease in net assets of approximately $55,000.

Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The Partnership has no employees and depends on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner received 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership’s property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, which are included in operating expenses.

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $14,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, which is included in general and administrative expenses and investment property for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment property for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were construction management services provided by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of approximately $2,000.

For services relating to the administration of the Partnership and operation of its property, the Managing General Partner was entitled to receive payment for non-accountable expenses up to a maximum of $150,000 per year of distributions from operations based upon the number of Partnership units sold, subject to certain limitations. The Managing General Partner was not entitled to receive a reimbursement during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as there were no distributions from operations during this period.

For managing the affairs of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner was entitled to receive a partnership management fee. The fee was equal to 4% of the Partnership's adjusted cash from operations, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, in any year, provided that 50% of the fee was not to be paid until the Partnership had distributed to the limited partners adjusted cash from operations in such year which was equal to 5% of the limited partners' adjusted invested capital, as defined, on a non-cumulative basis. In addition, 50% of the fee was not to be paid until the Partnership had distributed to the limited partners adjusted cash from operations in such year which was equal to 8% of the limited partners' adjusted invested capital on a non-cumulative basis. The fee was to be paid when adjusted cash from operations was distributed to the limited partners. The Managing General Partner was not entitled to receive this fee during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Upon sale of the Partnership’s property, the Managing General Partner was entitled to an incentive compensation fee equal to a declining percentage of the difference between the total amount distributed to limited partners and the appraised value of their investment at February 1, 1992. The percentage amount to be realized by the Managing General Partner, if any, was dependent upon the year in which the property was sold. Payment of the incentive compensation fee was subordinated to the receipt by the limited partners, of: (a) distributions from capital transaction proceeds of an amount equal to their present appraised investment in the Partnership at February 1, 1992; and (b) distributions from all sources (capital transactions as well as cash flow) of an amount equal to six percent (6%) per annum cumulative, noncompounded, on their present appraised investment in the Partnership at February 1, 1992. As these returns were not met, the Managing General Partner did not earn an incentive compensation fee from the sale of Huntington Athletic Club Apartments.

The Partnership insured its property up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers’ compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insured its property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $25,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

Note D – Disposition of Investment Property

On December 14, 2009, the Partnership sold its sole investment property, Huntington Athletic Club Apartments, to a third party for a gross sale price of $10,443,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $2,771,000 after payment of closing costs of approximately $186,000 and the assumption of the mortgage debt encumbering the property of approximately $7,486,000 by the purchaser. The Partnership recognized a gain of approximately $5,069,000 as a result of the sale. In addition, the Partnership recognized a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $163,000 due to the write-off of unamortized loan costs.

Note E – Distributions

The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per unit data):

		Per Limited		Per Limited
	Three Months Ended	Partnership	Three Months Ended	Partnership
	March 31, 2010	Unit	March 31, 2009	Unit

Financing (1)	$ --	$ --	$ 700	$ 15.44

(1) Proceeds from the second mortgage obtained in December 2008 on Huntington Athletic Club Apartments.

The distribution payable at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 represents the estimated North Carolina withholding taxes to be paid by the Partnership on behalf of certain limited partners in connection with the sale of Huntington Athletic Club Apartments. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 the Partnership paid approximately $75,000 of such nonresident withholding taxes. The remaining distribution payable of approximately $80,000 at March 31, 2010 will be paid with the liquidating distribution.

Note F – Contingencies

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the Managing General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”). The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company (“the Defendants”) failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”). In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action. In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions. In the second quarter of 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts have been dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid less than $1,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment properties. At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. The parties have selected six “on-call” claims that will proceed forward through the arbitration process and have selected arbitrators. After those arbitrations have been completed, the parties will revisit settling the on-call claims. The first two arbitrations took place in December 2009 and the Defendants received a defense verdict against the first two claimants, and plaintiffs dismissed the claims of the next two claimants. The remaining two arbitration hearings took place in April 2010 and the Defendants are awaiting the results. The Managing General Partner is uncertain as to the amount of any additional loss that may be allocable to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership cannot estimate whether any additional loss will occur or a potential range of loss.

The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its former investment property that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Quarterly Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Partnership’s future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership and interpretations of those regulations; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties previously owned by the Partnership. Readers should carefully review the Partnership’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the other documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2009, the Partnership adopted the liquidation basis of accounting due to the sale of its remaining investment property, Huntington Athletic Club Apartments, on December 14, 2009.

As a result of the decision to liquidate the Partnership, the Partnership changed its basis of accounting for its financial statements at December 31, 2009 to the liquidation basis of accounting. Consequently, assets have been valued at estimated net realizable value and liabilities are presented at their estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated with carrying out the liquidation of the Partnership. The valuation of assets and liabilities necessarily requires many estimates and assumptions and there are substantial uncertainties in carrying out the liquidation. The actual realization of assets and settlement of liabilities could be higher or lower than amounts indicated and is based upon the Managing General Partner’s estimates as of the date of the financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, net assets in liquidation increased by approximately $54,000. The increase in net assets in liquidation is primarily due to the write off of other liabilities, partially offset by the write off of uncollectible receivables and expenses incurred during the period of liquidation.

The statement of net assets in liquidation as of March 31, 2010 includes approximately $35,000 of costs that the Managing General Partner estimates will be incurred during the period of liquidation, based on the assumption that the liquidation process will be completed by September 30, 2010. Because the settlement of liabilities is based on the Managing General Partner’s best estimates, the liquidation period may be shorter or extended beyond the projected liquidation period.

The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per unit data):

		Per Limited		Per Limited
	Three Months Ended	Partnership	Three Months Ended	Partnership
	March 31, 2010	Unit	March 31, 2009	Unit

Financing (1)	$ --	$ --	$ 700	$ 15.44

(1) Proceeds from the second mortgage obtained in December 2008 on Huntington Athletic Club Apartments.

The Partnership’s cash available for distribution will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. Future cash distributions will depend on the amount of cash remaining after fully liquidating the Partnership.

Other

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 27,792 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 61.92% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2010. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 61.92% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. However, DeForest Ventures II L.P., from whom an affiliate of AIMCO and the Managing General Partner, through its merger with Insignia, acquired 16,447 Units, had agreed for the benefit of third party unitholders, that it would vote these Units: (i) against any increase in compensation payable to the Managing General Partner or to its affiliates; and (ii) on all other matters submitted by it or its affiliates, in proportion to the votes cast by third party Unit holders. Except for the foregoing, no other limitations are imposed on AIMCO or its affiliates' right to vote each Unit held. Although the Managing General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the Managing General Partner, as managing general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Managing General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Asset

Investment property was recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset was not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of the property would not be recoverable, the Partnership made an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeded the estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership recognized an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeded the estimated fair value of the property.

Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may have adversely affected the economic performance and value of the Partnership’s investment property. These factors included, but were not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might have adversely affected apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not have been offset by increased rents; changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing; and changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. Any adverse changes in these and other factors could have caused an impairment of the Partnership’s asset.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership generally leased apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Partnership offered rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, was recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership evaluated all accounts receivable from residents and established an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
