Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Words and phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “designed to achieve”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future – including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, general conditions in the geographic areas where we operate – are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that may affect outcomes and results are beyond our ability to control.

(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2014

1. GENERAL

Registrant, DSI Realty Income Fund VIII (the "Partnership") is a publicly-held limited partnership organized under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act pursuant to a Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (hereinafter referred to as "Agreement") dated November 28, 1983 and restated April 23, 1984. The General Partners are DSI Properties, Inc., a California corporation, and RJC Capital Management, LLC and JWC Capital Management, LLC.

DSI Properties, Inc. is an affiliate of Diversified Securities, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSI Financial, Inc. The General Partners provide similar services to other partnerships. Through its public offering of Limited Partnership Units, Registrant sold twenty-four thousand (24,000) units of limited partnership interests aggregating Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000). The General Partners have retained a one percent (1%) interest in all profits, losses and distributions (subject to certain conditions) without making any capital contribution to the Partnership. The General Partners are not required to make any capital contributions to the Partnership in the future.

The Partnership has acquired mini-storage facilities located in Stockton, El Centro, Huntington Beach, and Lompoc, California. The Partnership has also entered into a joint venture with DSI Realty Income Fund IX, through which the Partnership has a 30% interest in a mini-storage facility in Aurora, Colorado (Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the Partnership is entitled to 30% of the profits and losses of the venture and owns 30% of the mini-storage facility as a tenant in common with DSI Realty Income Fund IX, which has the remaining 70% interest in the venture. The Partnership accounts for its investment in the real estate joint venture under the equity method of accounting). All facilities were acquired from Dahn Corporation ("Dahn"). Dahn is not affiliated with the Partnership. Dahn is affiliated with other partnerships in which DSI Properties, Inc. is a general partner.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Partnership's management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Partnership has adopted Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 comprehensive income equaled net income, as the Partnership had no other comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, accumulated other comprehensive income was $0.

ASC 825-10 (formerly SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Partnership. The Partnership considers the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The new guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. While many of the amendments to U.S. GAAP are not expected to have a significant effect on practice, the new guidance changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the standard update does not have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

2. PROPERTY

Properties owned by the Partnership are all mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 20 years. Property under capital leases is amortized over the lives of the respective leases. The total cost of property and accumulated depreciation at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:

	June 30, 2014	December 31, 2013
Land	$ 1,969,877	$ 1,969,877
Buildings and improvements	6,172,743	6,151,372
Rental trucks under capital leases	70,047	70,047
Total	8,212,667	8,191,296
Less accumulated depreciation	(6,195,723)	(6,189,257)
Property, net	$ 2,016,944	$ 2,002,039

3. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

Net income per limited partnership unit is calculated by dividing the net income allocated to the limited partners by the number of limited partnership units outstanding during the period.

4. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES AND GENERAL PARTNERS' INCENTIVE MANAGEMENT FEE

Under the Agreement of Limited Partnership, the general partners are to be allocated 1% of the net profits or losses from operations, and the limited partners are to be allocated the balance of the net profits or losses from operations in proportion to their limited partnership interests. The general partners are also entitled to receive a percentage, based on a predetermined formula, of any cash distribution from the sale, other disposition, or refinancing of the project.

In addition, the general partners are entitled to receive an incentive management fee for supervising the operations of the Partnership. The fee is to be paid in an amount equal to 9% per annum of the cash available for distribution on a cumulative basis, calculated as cash generated from operations less capital expenditures.

5. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership has entered into a management agreement with Dahn to operate its mini-storage facilities. The management agreement provides for a management fee equal to 5% of gross revenue from operations, which is defined as the entire amount of all receipts from the renting or leasing of storage compartments and sale of locks. The management agreement is renewable annually. Dahn earned management fees equal to $49,054 and $45,217 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amounts payable to Dahn at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $8,295 and $6,865, respectively.

Beginning in July 2011, the General Partner, DSI Properties, Inc. performs all tax related work with respect to the Partnership. These services are paid monthly in the amount of $3,685. Tax fees paid to DSI Properties, Inc. for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 were $22,110.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Events subsequent to June 30, 2014, have been evaluated through the date these unaudited interim financial statements were issued to determine whether they should be disclosed to keep the unaudited interim financial statements from being misleading. Consequently, management is providing the following information:

In November of last year we notified you of our intent to seek a current market valuation of the Properties within your Fund. The financial advisor we retained, Bancap, helped us complete this procedure and we have entered into a preliminary purchase and sale agreement with a third party. That third party is currently conducting its due diligence on the properties. We will notify you of the terms and conditions of the transactions, as any sale would require approval by the holders of a majority of the Limited Partnership Units. We anticipate that the due diligence stage will be finalized in August of 2014 and we will communicate further with you regarding the situation prior to year-end.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition - Revenue is recognized using the accrual method based on contractual amounts provided for in the lease agreements, which approximates recognition on a straight-line basis. The term of the lease agreements is usually less than one year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2014 COMPARED TO 2013

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, revenues increased 10.4% to $497,880 from $451,084 and total expenses decreased 4.0% to $296,621 from $308,985 resulting in a increase in net income of 44.9% to $244,831 from $168,997. Rental revenues increased primarily as a result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 81.2% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to 69.2% for the same period in 2013. Operating expenses decreased $2,252 or 1.3% primarily due to decreases in advertising and workers compensation insurance; partially offset by increases in repair and maintenance and salary and wages expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $16,093 or 19.1% primarily as a result of a decrease in legal and professional, office supplies and computer equipment lease expenses.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, revenues increased 8.9% to $990,095 from $909,588 and total expenses increased 7.7% to $643,461 from $597,580 resulting in a increase in net income of 16.6% to $419,114 from $359,593. Rental revenues increased primarily as a result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 79.5% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to 68.4% for the same period in 2013. Operating expenses increased $43,960 or 12.7% primarily due to increases in repair and maintenance, real estate taxes and salary and wages expenses; partially offset by decreases in advertising and workers compensation insurance expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $8,254 or 5.1% primarily as a result of a decrease in legal and professional, office supplies, credit card fees and computer equipment lease expenses.

The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing improvement and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash generated from operations. In addition, the Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.

Not required.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of DSI Properties, Inc., its 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 General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no significant changes 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 reporting period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
