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

September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 comprehensive income equaled net income, as the Partnership had no other comprehensive income. As of September 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.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04 Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date, in order to provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In February 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-02 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, in order to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update seek to attain that objective by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account (for example, inventory) instead of directly to income or expense in the same reporting period. The amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Partnership considers the adoption of the standard update does not impact its financial position or results of operations.

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-07 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting, in order to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The amendments are effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim reporting periods therein. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360)." ASU 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations or that have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. This new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In July 2014, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which finalizes Proposed ASU No. EITF-13C, and provides explicit guidance regarding the presentation in the statement of financial position of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU No. 2014-11 applies prospectively to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. Retrospective application is also permitted. Further, ASU No. 2014-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership considers the adoption of the standard update will not impact 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:

	September 30, 2014	December 31, 2013
Land	$ 1,806,317	$ 1,806,317
Buildings and improvements	5,475,326	5,453,955
Rental trucks under capital leases	70,047	70,047
Total	7,351,690	7,330,315
Less accumulated depreciation	(5,499,204)	(5,490,661)
Property, net	$ 1,852,496	$ 1,839,658

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 $70,254 and $63,559 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amounts payable to Dahn at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $8,057 and $6,417, 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 September 30, 2014 were $33,165.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Events subsequent to September 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 2013 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 has concluded its due diligence on the properties. We have filed preliminary proxy material with the SEC and are currently awaiting final comments. Once final comments are received, a definitive proxy including the terms and conditions of the transactions will be filed and mailed to the Limited Partners. Any sale would require approval by the holders of a majority of the Limited Partnership Units.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2014 COMPARED TO 2013

For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, revenues from continuing operations increased 21.7% to $506,327 from $416,086 and total expenses from continuing operations increased 6.2% to $306,340 from $288,498. Net income from continuing operations increased 57% to $252,618 from $160,909 as a result of increased revenue. Rental revenues increased primarily as a result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 84.1% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, compared to 73.0% for the same period in 2013. Operating expenses decreased $3,706 or 2.2% primarily due to decreases in repair and maintenance and security and alarms expenses; partially offset by increase in advertising and workers compensation insurance expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $16,766 or 23.9% primarily as a result of an increase in legal and professional expenses.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, revenues from continuing operations increased 15.36% to $1,444,550 from $1,252,160 and total expenses from continuing operations increased 6.6% to $884,012 from $829,258. Net income from continuing operations increased 36.09% to $685,649 from $503,808. Rental revenues increased primarily as a result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's mini-storage facilities averaged 81.0% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, compared to 69.9% for the same period in 2013. Operating expenses increased $31,013 or 6.6% primarily due to increases in repair and maintenance, real estate taxes and salary and wages expenses; partially offset by decrease in security and alarm expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $8,314 or 3.7% primarily as a result of an increase in legal and professional 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.
