In the opinion of the general partners, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial information included therein. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the partnership’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Redwood Mortgage Investors VIII, a California Limited Partnership, (“RMI VIII” or the “partnership”) was organized in 1993. The general partners of the partnership are Redwood Mortgage Corp. (“RMC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gymno LLC (“Gymno”), a California limited liability company, and Michael R. Burwell (“Burwell”), an individual. 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. Loans are being arranged and serviced by RMC. The general partners are solely responsible for partnership business, subject to the voting rights of the limited partners on specified matters. Any one of the general partners acting alone has the power and authority to act for and bind the partnership. The general partners are required to contribute to capital 1/10 of 1% of the aggregate capital contributions of the limited partners. As of March 31,September 30, 2012, the general partners had contributed capital in accordance with Section 4.1 of the partnership agreement.

The rights, duties and powers of the general and limited partners of the partnership are governed by the limited partnership agreement and Sections 15900 et seq. of the California Corporations Code.

The partnership completed its sixth offering stage in 2008. No additional offerings are contemplated at this time. Sales commissions owed to securities broker/dealers in conjunction with the offerings, are not paid directly out of the offering proceeds by the partnership. These commissions are paid by RMC as consideration for the exclusive right to originate loans for RMI VIII. To fund the payment of these commissions, during the offering periods, the partnership lent amounts to RMC to pay all sales commissions and amounts payable in connection with unsolicited orders to invest (formation loan).

On the mortgage loans originated for RMI VIII, RMC may collect loan brokerage commissions (points) limited to an amount not to exceed four percent per year of the total partnership assets. The loan brokerage commissions are paid by the borrowers and thus, are not an expense of the partnership. The proceeds from loan brokerage commissions and other fees earned are the source of funds for the repayment of the formation loans by RMC.

Profits and losses are allocated among the limited partners according to their respective capital accounts after one percent of profits and losses is allocated to the general partners. The resultspartners, and are subject to subsequent adjustment as a result of quarterly and year-end accounting and reporting.

Burwell,RMC, Gymno, and RMC,Burwell, as the general partners, are entitled to one percent of the profits and losses of RMI VIII. Beginning with calendar year 2010, and continuing until January 1, 2020, Gymno and RMC each assigned its right to one-third of one percent of profits and losses to Burwell in exchange for Burwell assuming one hundred percent of the general partners’ equity deficit.

Income taxes – federal and state – are the obligation of the limited partners, if and when taxes apply, other than for the annual California franchisestate taxes levied on and paid by the partnership.

Beginning with the worldwide financial crisis in 2008, continuing with the resultant Great Recession, and on-going through 2012, the combination of the general economic conditions, the constrained credit and financial markets, the distressed real estate markets, and the terms and the conditions of the amendedAmended and restated loan agreementRestated Loan Agreement dated October 2010 (and the preceding forbearance agreement) (“Bank Loan”) resulted in significant changes to the lending and business operations of the partnership, as well as to its balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows. In September 2012, the partnership paid all remaining amounts owing under the Bank Loan.

RMC financed the payments to broker-dealers by borrowing funds (“the formation loan”) from RMI VIII. The formation loan is non-interest bearing and is being repaid equally over an approximate ten-year period commencing the year after the close of a partnership offering. Interest has been imputed at the market rate of interest in effect in the years the offerings closed.

The formation loan is deducted from limited partners’ capital in the consolidated balance sheets. As payments are received from RMC, the formation loan’s balance outstanding and the deduction from capital are reduced.

If the general partners are removed and RMC is no longer receiving payments for services rendered, the formation loan is forgiven.

Brokerage commissions, loan originations – the partnership agreement provides for RMC to collect a loan brokerage commission for fees in connection with the review, selection, evaluation, negotiation and extension of loans, that is expected to range from approximately 2% to 5% of the principal amount of each loan made during the year. Total loan brokerage commissions are limited to an amount not to exceed four percent of the total companypartnership assets per year. The loan brokerage commissions are paid by the borrowers and are not an expense of the partnership.

Other fees – the partnership agreement provides for RMC or Gymno to receive fees for processing, notary, document preparation, credit investigation, reconveyance, and other mortgage related fees. The amounts received are customary for comparable services in the geographical area where the property securing the loan is located, payable solely by the borrower and not by the partnership.

The partnership bears its own syndication costs, other than certain sales commissions, including legal and accounting expenses, printing costs, selling expenses and filing fees. Syndication costs are charged monthly against partners’ capital and are allocated to individual partners consistent with the partnership agreement.

In March 2009, in response to economic conditions, the dysfunction of the credit markets, the distress in the real estate markets, and the expected cash needs of the partnership, the partnership suspended capital liquidations, and is not accepting new liquidation requests until further notice.

The partnership is scheduled to terminate in 2032, unless sooner terminated as provided in the partnership agreement.

The partnership’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its 72.5%-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications, not affecting previously reported net incomeincome/(loss) or total partner capital, have been made to the previously issued consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Such estimates relate principally to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, including the valuation of impaired loans, (which itself requires determining the fair value of the collateral), and the valuation of real estate held for sale and held as investment, at acquisition and subsequently. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Collateral fair values are reviewed quarterly and the protective equity for each loan is computed. As used herein, “protective equity” is the arithmetic difference between the fair value of the collateral, net of any senior liens, and the loan balance, where “loan balance” is the sum of the unpaid principal, advances and the recorded interest thereon.interest. This computation is done for each loan (whether impaired or performing), and while loans secured by collateral of similar property type are grouped, there is enough distinction and variation in the collateral that a loan-by-loan, collateral-by-collateral analysis is appropriate.

The fair value of the collateral is determined by exercise of judgment based on management’s experience informed by appraisals (by licensed appraisers), brokers’ opinion of values, and publicly available information on in-market transactions. Historically, it has been rare for determinations of fair valueIn some years (notably 2009, 2010 and to be made without substantial reference to current market transactions. However, in recent years,a lesser extent 2011) due to the low levels of real estate transactions, and the risingan increased number of transactions that arewere distressed (i.e., that are executed by an unwilling seller – often compelled by lenders or other claimants – and/or executed without broad exposure or with market exposure but with few, if any, resulting offers), more interpretation, judgment and interpolation/extrapolation within and across property types is required.

Appraisals of commercial real property generally present three approaches to estimating value:  1) market comparables or sales approach; 2) cost to replace and 3) capitalized cash flows or investment approach. These approaches may or may not result in a common, single value. The market-comparables approach may yield several different values depending on certain basic assumptions, such as, determining highest and best use (which may or may not be the current use); determining the condition (e.g. as-is, when-completed, or for land when-entitled); and determining the unit of value (e.g. as a series of individual unit sales or as a bulk disposition). Further complicating thisIn some prior years, as has been previously noted, the appraisal process, which is already subject to judgment, uncertainty and imprecision arewas further complicated by the current low transaction volumes in the residential, commercial and land markets, and the variability that has resulted.volumes. This exacerbatesexacerbated the imprecision in the process, and requiresrequired additional considerations and inquiries as to whether the transaction was entered into by a willing seller ininto a functioning market or was the transaction was completed in a distressed market, in whichwith the predominant number of sellers arebeing those surrendering properties to lenders in partial settlement of debt (as is currently prevalent in the residential markets and is occurring more frequently in commercialsingle-family markets) and/or participating in “arranged sales” to achieve partial settlement of debts and claims and to generate tax advantage.

Management has the requisite familiarity with the markets the partnership lends in generally and of the collateral properties specifically to analyze sales-comparables and assess their suitability/applicability. Management is acquainted with market participants – investors, developers, brokers, lenders – that are useful, relevant secondary sources of data and information regarding valuation and valuation variability. These secondary sources may have familiarity with and perspectives on pending transactions, successful strategies to optimize value, and the history and details of specific properties – on and off the market – that enhance the process and analysis that is particularly and principally germane to establishing value in distressed markets and/or property types (such as land held for development and for units in a condominium conversion). Multiple inputs from different sources often collectively provide the best evidence of fair value. In these cases expected cash flows would be considered alongside other relevant information. Management’s analysis of these secondary sources, as well as the analysis of comparable sales, assists management in preparing its estimates regarding valuations, such as collateral fair value. However, such estimates are inherently imprecise and actual results could differ significantly from such estimates.

The partnership considers all highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Periodically, partnership cash balances in banks exceed federally insured limits.

Loans generally are stated at the unpaid principal balance (principal). Management has discretion to pay amounts (advances) to third parties on behalf of borrowers to protect the partnership’s interest in the loan. Advances include, but are not limited to, the payment of interest and principal on a senior lien to prevent foreclosure by the senior lien holder, property taxes, insurance premiums, and attorney fees. Advances generally are stated at the principal balanceamount paid out on the borrower's behalf and any accrued interest on the amount paid out, until repaid by the borrower.

The partnership may fund a specific loan origination net of an interest reserve to insure timely interest payments at the inception (one to two years) of the loan. As monthly interest payments become due, the partnership funds the payments into the affiliated trust account.

If based upon current information and events, it is probable the partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, then a loan may be designated as impaired. Impaired loans are included in management’s periodic analysis of recoverability. Any subsequent payments on impaired loans are applied to late fees and then to reduce first the accrued interest, then advances, and then unpaid principal.

From time to time, the partnership negotiates and enters into loan modifications with borrowers whose loans are delinquent. If the loan modification results in a significant reduction in the cash flow compared to the original note, the modification is deemed a troubled debt restructuring and a loss is recognized. In the normal course of the partnership’s operations, loans that mature aremay be renewed and/or the maturity is extended. If at the time of renewal the loan is not designated as impaired and the renewal is at terms reflecting then current market rates and conditions,terms for new loans. Such renewals are not designated as impaired, unless the matured loan is notwas previously designated as impaired.

Interest is accrued daily based on the unpaid principal balance of the loans. An impaired loan continues to accrue as long as the loan is in the process of collection and is considered to be well-secured. Loans are placed on non-accrual status at the earlier of management’s determination that the primary source of repayment will come from the foreclosure and subsequent sale of the collateral securing the loan (which usually occurs when a notice of sale is filed) or when the loan is no longer considered well-secured. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the accrual of interest is discontinued; however, previously recorded interest is not reversed. A loan may return to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal payments become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.

Loans and the related accrued interest and advances are analyzed on a periodic basis for ultimate recoverability. Delinquencies are identified and followed as part of the loan system. Delinquencies are determined based upon contractual terms. For impaired loans, a provision is made for loan losses to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount considered by management to be adequate, with due consideration to collateral values, such that the net carrying amount (unpaid principal balance, plus advances, plus accrued interest less the specific allowance) is reduced to the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or, if a loan is collateral dependent, to the estimated fair value of the related collateral net of any senior loans, which would includenet of any costs to sell in arriving at net realizable value if planned disposition of the asset securing a loan is by way of sale.

The fair value estimates are derived from information available in the real estate markets including similar property, and may require the experience and judgment of third parties such as commercial real estate appraisers and brokers.

Based on its knowledge of the borrowers and their historical (and expected) performance, and the exposure to loss as indicated in the analysis, management estimates an appropriate reserve by property type for probable credit losses in the portfolio. Because the partnership is an asset-based lender, except as to owner-occupied residences, and because specific regions, neighborhoods and even properties within the same neighborhoods, vary significantly as to real estate values and transaction activity, general market trends, which may be indicative of a change in the risk of a loss, are secondary to the condition of the property, the property type and the neighborhood/region in which the property is located, and do not enter substantially into the determination of the amount of the non-specific (i.e. general) reserves.

REO, held for sale includes real estate acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations generally through foreclosure that is being marketed for sale. REO, held for sale is recorded at acquisition at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan, plus any senior indebtedness, or at the property’s net realizable value, which is the fair value less estimated costs to sell, as applicable. Any excess of the recorded investment in the loan over the net realizable value is charged against the allowance for loan losses. The fair value estimates are derived from information available in the real estate markets including similar property, and often require the experience and judgment of third parties such as commercial real estate appraisers and brokers. The estimates figure materially in calculating the value of the property at acquisition, the level of charge to the allowance for loan losses and any subsequent valuation reserves. After acquisition, costs incurred relating to the development and improvement of property are capitalized to the extent they do not cause the recorded value to exceed the net realizable value, whereas costs relating to holding and disposition of the property are expensed as incurred. After acquisition, REO, held for sale is analyzed periodically for changes in fair values and any subsequent write down is charged to operating expenses. Any recovery in the fair value subsequent to such a write down is recorded – not to exceed the net realizable value at acquisition – as an offset to operating expenses. Gains or losses on sale of the property are recorded in other income or expense. Recognition of gains on the sale of real estate is dependent upon the transaction meeting certain criteria related to the nature of the property and the terms of the sale including potential seller financing.

REO, held as investment, net includes real estate acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations generally through foreclosure that is not being marketed for sale and is either being operated, such as rental properties; is being managed through the development process, including obtaining appropriate and necessary entitlements, permits and construction; or are idle properties awaiting more favorable market conditions. REO, held as investment, net is recorded at acquisition at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan, plus any senior indebtedness, or at the property’s estimated fair value, net, plus any cash flows during the expected holding period. After acquisition, costs incurred relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to operating or holding the property are expensed. Subsequent to acquisition, management periodically compares the carrying value of real estate to expected undiscounted future cash flows for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are reduced to estimated fair value.

The FASB issued ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):  Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRs”. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with prospective application. The partnership adopted ASU 2011-04 effective January 1, 2012.

The general partners are entitled to one percent of the profits and losses, which amounted to approximately $(13,000)$(12,000) and $(10,000)$(31,000) for the three months and $(44,000) and $(77,000) for the nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Formation loan transactions are presented in the following table at March 31,September 30, 2012 ($ in thousands).

An estimated amount of imputed interest is recorded for any outstanding offerings. During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011, $52,000$114,000 and $125,000,$97,000, respectively, was recorded related to imputed interest.interest, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, $207,000 and $301,000, respectively, was recorded.

The proceeds from loan brokerage commissions and other fees earned are the source of funds for the repayment of the formation loans by RMC.

The following commissions and/or fees are paid by the borrowers to the general partners and their affiliates and are not an expense of the partnership.

There were no loanLoan brokerage commissions paid by the borrowers induring the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011.2011 were $0, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $107,000 and $0, respectively.

Other fees totaled $315$150 and $450$1,155 for the three month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.respectively and $1,505 and $2,360 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

The following fees are paid by the partnership to RMC.

RMC may earn mortgage servicing fees of up to 1.5% annually of the unpaid principal of the loan portfolio or such lesser amount as is reasonable and customary in the geographic area where the property securing the mortgage is located from RMI VIII. Historically, RMC charged one percent annually, and at times waived additional amounts to improve the partnership’s earnings. Such fee waivers were not made for the purpose of providing the partnership with sufficient funds to satisfy withdrawal requests, nor were such waivers made in order to meet any required level of distributions, as the partnership has no such required level of distributions. RMC does not use any specific criteria in determining the amount of fees, if any, to be waived. The decision to waive fees and the amount, if any, to be waived, is made by RMC in its sole discretion.

Mortgage servicing fees are summarized in the following table for the three and nine months ended March 31September 30 ($ in thousands).

Asset management fees for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $226,000$195,000 and $247,000,$225,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, were $645,000 and $712,000, respectively. No asset management fees were waived during any period reported.

RMC is reimbursed by the partnership for operating expenses incurred on behalf of the partnership, including without limitation, accounting and audit fees, legal fees and expenses, postage and preparation of reports to limited partners, and out-of-pocket general and administration expenses. The decision to request reimbursement of any qualifying charges is made by RMC in its sole discretion. Operating expenses were $361,000$318,000 and $110,000,$305,000, for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $996,000 and $871,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. To the extent some operating expenses incurred on behalf of RMI VIII were not charged by RMC, the financial position and results of operations for the partnership would be different.

The partnership generally funds loans with a fixed interest rate and a five-year term. As of March 31,September 30, 2012, approximately 60%55% of the partnership’s loans (representing 57%60% of the aggregate principal balance of the partnership’s loan portfolio) have a five year term or less from loan inception. The remaining loans have terms longer than five years.

As of March 31,September 30, 2012, approximately 38%43% of the loans outstanding (representing 82%85% of the aggregate principal balance of the partnership’s loan portfolio) provide for monthly payments of interest only, with the principal due in full at maturity. The remaining loans require monthly payments of principal and interest, typically calculated on a 30 year amortization, with the remaining principal balance due at maturity.

The partnership makes construction and rehabilitation loans which are not fully disbursed at loan inception. The partnership has approved the borrowers up to a maximum loan balance; however, disbursements are made periodically during completion phases of the construction or rehabilitation or at such other times as required under the loan documents and would be funded from available cash balances and future cash receipts. The partnership does not maintain a separate cash reserve to hold the undisbursed obligations, which are intended to be funded. As of March 31,September 30, 2012, there was one such loan; however, the borrower is in default negating any funding obligation.

Secured loan transactions are summarized in the following table ($ in thousands).

Secured loans had the characteristics presented in the following table ($ in thousands).

As of March 31,September 30, 2012, the partnership’s largest loan, in the unpaid principal balance of $16,682,000$16,694,000 (representing 23.97%23.07% of outstanding secured loans and 6.28%6.62% of partnership assets) has an interest rate of 10.00% and is secured by a condominium/apartment complex located in San Francisco County, California. This loan matured February 1, 2011. The partnership has been working with the borrower to assist with the sale of the remaining units.

Larger loans sometimes increase above 10% of the secured loan portfolio or partnership assets as these amounts decrease due to limited partner withdrawals, loan payoffs and restructuring of existing loans.

In April 2012, the partnership entered into a loan workout agreement and released its security interest in a condominium complex in exchange for security interests in several financial instruments, some of which are secured by deeds of trust on real property. The tables in Note 4 include the loan with its original characteristics such as property type (Single-family), property location (Santa Clara County, California) and lien position (2nd). At March 31,September 30, 2012, the loan had a principal balance of $3,460,000,$3,150,000, an interest rate of 6.00%, matures on December 30, 2016, and at the time of our loan had a senior lien of $18,744,000, and an appraisal of $30,210,000. The loan is current per the new agreement, and is designated impaired and is in non-accrual status.

Secured loans summarized by property type of the collateral are presented in the following table ($ in thousands).

Single family properties include owner-occupied and non-owner occupied single family homes (1-4 unit residential buildings), condominium units, townhouses, and condominium complexes. From time to time, loan originations in one sector or property type become more active due to prevailing market conditions. The current concentration of the partnership’s loan portfolio in condominium properties may pose additional or increased risks. Recovery of the condominium sector of the real estate market is generally expected to lag behind that of single-family residences. In addition, availability of financing for condominium properties has been, and will likely continue to be, constricted and more difficult to obtain than other property types. As of March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $40,388,000$36,905,000 and $40,907,000, respectively, of the partnership’s loans were secured by condominium properties.

Condominiums may create unique risks for the partnership that are not present for loans made on other types of properties. In the case of condominiums, a board of managers generally has discretion to make decisions affecting the condominium building, including regarding assessments to be paid by the unit owners, insurance to be maintained on the building, and the maintenance of that building, which may have an impact on the partnership loans that are secured by such condominium property.

The partnership may have less flexibility in foreclosing on the collateral for a loan secured by condominiums upon a default by the borrower. Among other things, the partnership must consider the governing documents of the homeowners association and the state and local laws applicable to condominium units, which may require an owner to obtain a public report prior to the sale of the units.

It is the partnership’s experience that loans may be repaid or refinanced before, at or after the contractual maturity date. For matured loans, the partnership may continue to accept payments while pursuing collection of amounts owed from borrowers. Therefore, the above tabulation for scheduled maturities is not a forecast of future cash receipts.

The partnership reports maturity data based upon the most recent contractual agreement with the borrower. The table above includes 1 loan with an aggregate principal of $3,460,000$3,150,000 which had its maturity date extended, which is considered impaired and is in non-accrual status.

The partnership may periodically negotiate various workout agreements with borrowers whose loans are past maturity or who are delinquent in making payments. The partnership is not obligated to fund additional money as of March 31, 2012.September 30, 2012 on these workout agreements.

Secured loans past maturity are summarized in the following table ($ in thousands).

Secured loans summarized by payment delinquency are presented in the following table ($ in thousands).

The partnership reports delinquency based upon the most recent contractual agreement with the borrower.

Interest income accrued on loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0$22,000 and $8,000,$422,000, respectively. Accrued interest on loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments at March 31,September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $1,430,000$1,437,000 and $1,458,000, respectively.

At March 31,September 30, 2012, the partnership had eight15 workout agreements in effect with an aggregate principal of $4,252,000.$10,759,000. Of the eight15 borrowers, six,12, with an aggregate principal of $3,357,000,$10,032,000, had made all required payments under the workout agreements and were included in the above table as current. FourSix of the eight15 loans, with an aggregate principal of $1,128,000$6,275,000, were designated impaired and were in non-accrual status.

At December 31, 2011, the partnership had eight workout agreements in effect with an aggregate principal of $4,255,000. Of the eight borrowers, seven, with an aggregate principal of $3,590,000, had made all required payments under the workout agreements and the loans were included in the above table as current. Four of the eight loans, with an aggregate principal of $1,131,000 were designated impaired and were in non-accrual status.

Secured loans in nonaccrual status are summarized in the following table ($ in thousands).

At March 31,September 30, 2012 there were two loans with an aggregate principal balance of $196,000 that were contractually 90 or more days past due as to principal or interest and not in non-accrual status.
