PART I
Item l. BUSINESS
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, as amended and
restated to November 1, 1985. The General Partners are DSI Properties, Inc., a
California corporation, Diversified Investors Agency, a general partnership,
whose current partners are Robert J. Conway and Joseph W. Conway, brothers. The
General Partners are affiliates 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 (l%) 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. Registrant is
engaged in the business of investing in and operating mini-storage facilities
with the primary objectives of generating, for its partners, cash flow, capital
appreciation of its properties, and obtaining federal income tax deductions so
that during the early years of operations, all or a portion of such
distributable cash may not represent taxable income to its partners. Funds
obtained by Registrant during the public offering period of its units were used
to acquire five mini-storage facilities and a thirty percent (30%) interest in a
joint venture with DSI Realty Income Fund IX, an affiliated California limited
partnership, owning a sixth mini-storage facility. Registrant does not intend to
sell additional limited partnership units. The term of the Partnership is fifty
years but it is anticipated that Registrant will sell and/or refinance its
properties prior to the termination of the Partnership. The Partnership is
intended to be self-liquidating and it is not intended that proceeds from the
sale or refinancing of its operating properties will be reinvested. Registrant
has no full time employees but shares one or more employees with other
publicly-held limited partnerships sponsored by the General Partners. The
General Partners are vested with authority as to the general management and
supervision of the business and affairs of Registrant. Limited Partners have no
right to participate in the management or conduct of such business and affairs.
An independent management company has been retained to provide day-to-day
management services with respect to all of the Partnership's investment
properties.
Average occupancy levels for each of the Partnership's six properties for
the years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were as follows:
Location of Property Average Occupancy Average Occupancy
Level for the Level for the
Year Ended Year Ended
Dec. 31, 2000 Dec. 31, 1999
El Centro, CA 82% 76%
Lompoc, CA 91% 84%
Pittsburg, CA 89% 80%
Stockton, CA 91% 84%
Huntington Beach, CA 90% 90%
Aurora, CO* 86% 88%
- ----------
*The Partnership owns a 30% fee interest in this facility.
The business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive.
Each of its mini-storage facilities is located in or near a major urban area,
and accordingly, competes with a significant number of individuals and
organizations with respect to both the purchase and sale of its properties and
rental of units. Generally, Registrant's business is not affected by the change
in seasons.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
Registrant owns a fee interest in five mini-storage facilities and a thirty
percent (30%) interest in a joint venture with DSI Realty Income Fund IX, an
affiliated California limited partnership, owning a sixth mini-storage facility,
none of which are subject to long-term indebtedness. Additional information is
set forth in Registrant's letter to its Limited Partners regarding the Annual
Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 2, and incorporated by this reference. The
following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2000 regarding
properties owned by the Partnership.

is there a market for these units.
Average cash distributions of $14.44 per Limited Partnership Unit were
declared and paid each quarter for the year ended December 31, 2000 and $12.56

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
2000 COMPARED TO 2001
Total revenues increased from $1,958,184 in 1999 to $2,183,874 in 2000, total
expenses decreased from $1,325,636 to $1,124,448, other income increased from
$6,130 to $7,455 and income from the real estate joint venture decreased from
$122,453 to $121,220. As a result, net income increased from $761,131 in
1999 to $1,188,101 in 2000. The approximate $225,700 (11.5%) increase in
rental revenues can be attributed to higher occupancy and unit rental rates.
Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged
89.0% for the ended December 31, 2000 and 82.9% for the year ended December 31,
1999. The Partnership is continuing its advertising campaign to attract and
keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. The approximate
$37,800 (7.3%) increase in operating expneses was due primarily to an increase
in yellow pages and other advertising costs, salaries and wages and workers
compensation insurance expenses, partially offset by a decrease in repair and
maintenance expense. General and administrative expenses increased as a
result of higher legal and professional expenses. General Partners' incentive
management fees increased as a result of the increase in net income. Property
management fees, wich are based on revenue, increased as a result of the in-
crease in rental revenue. Income from real estate joint venture remained
relatively constant. Average occupancy of the joint venture facility was
86.2% in 2000 and 88.0% in 1999.
1999 COMPARED TO 1998
Total revenues increased from $1,841,672 in 1998 to $1,958,184 in 1999, total
expenses increased from $1,253,740 to $1,325,636, other income decreased from
$57,936 to $6,310 and income from the real estate joint venture increased from
$109,741 to $122,453. As a result, net income increased from $755,609 in 1998
to $761,131 in 1999. The approximate $116,500 (6.3%) increase in rental
revenues can be attributed to higher unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for
the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 82.9% for the year
ended December 31, 1999 and 84.0% for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
Partnership is continuing its advertising campaign to attract and keep new
tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. The approximate $72,900
(16.3%) increase in operating expenses was due primarily to an increase in
yellow pages and other advertising costs, maintenance and repair, workers
compensation and security and alarm services expenses. General and admini-
strative expenses and General Partners' incentive management fees remained
relatively constant. Property management fees, which are based on revenue,
increased as a result of the increase in rental revenue. The increase in
income from real estate joint venture was the result of higher unit rental
rates, partially offset by increases in operating expenses. Average occupancy
of the joint venture was 88.0% in 1999 and 87.6% in 1998.
Operating expenses consits mainly of expenses such as yellow pages and other
advertising, utilities, repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes, salaries
and wages and their related expenses. General and administrative expenses
consist mainly of expenses such as legal and professional, office supplies,
postage, accounting services and computer expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $195,600
(17.9%) in 2000 compared to 1999, primarily due to increase in net income and
other liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased approx-
imately $36,700 (3.5%) in 1999 compared to 1998, primarily due to the absence
of a gain from involuntary conversion of land (see Note 7 to the Financial
Statements).
Cash used in financing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, has been limited to distributions paid to the partners. A special
distribution of 2.5%, 1% and 1% was declared and paid on December 15, 2000,
1999 and 1998 respectively.
Cash used in investing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, consisted of acquisitions of equipment for the Partnership's mini-
storage properties. The Partnership has no material commitments for capital
expenditures.
The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the
continuing improvement and maintenance of Partnership properties with cash
generated from operations. The Partnership anticipates that cash flows
generated from operations of the Partnership's real estate operations will be
sufficient to cover operating expenses and distributions for the next twelve
months.
The General Partners are not aware of any environmental problems which
could have a material adverse effect upon the financial position of the
Partnership.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
DSI Realty Income Fund VIII:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DSI Realty Income Fund VIII,
a California Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of income, changes in
partners' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2000. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of DSI Realty Income Fund VIII at December
31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Also in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when conidered in

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VIII
(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000
1. GENERAL
DSI Realty Income Fund VIII, a California Real Estate Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), has two general partners (DSI Properties, Inc. and
Diversified Investors Agency) and limited partners owning 24,000 limited
partnership units, which were purchased for $500 a unit. The general
partners have made no capital contribution to the Partnership and are not
required to make any capital contribution in the future. The Partnership
has a maximum life of 50 years and was formed on April 23, 1984 under the
California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of
acquiring and operating real estate.
The Partnership has acquired five mini-storage facilities located in
Stockton, Pittsburgh, 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 percent interest in
a mini-storage facility in Aurora, Colorado (see Note 6). 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 mini-storage facilities are
operated for the Partnership by Dahn under various agreements that are
subject to renewal annually. Under the terms of the agreements, the
Partnership is required to pay Dahn a property management fee equal to
five percent of gross revenue from operations, defined as the entire amount
of all receipts from the renting or leasing of storage compartments and
sale of locks.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Partnership classifies its short-term
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as
cash equivalents.
Property and Depreciation - Property is recorded at cost and is composed
primarily of mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is provided for using
the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 15 years.
Building improvements are depreciated over a five year period.
Income Taxes - No provision has been made for income taxes in the
accompanying financial statements. The taxable income or loss of the
Partnership is allocated to each partner in accordance with the terms of
the Agreement of Limited Partnership. Each partner's tax status, in turn,
determines the appropriate income tax for its allocated share of the
Partnership taxable income or loss. The net difference between the basis
of the Partnership's assets and liabilities for federal income tax purposes
and as reported for financial statement purposes is $2,217,321.
Revenues - Rental 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.
Investment in Real Estate Joint Venture - The Partnership accounts for its
30 percent interest in the Aurora, Colorado, Facility using the equity
method of accounting (see Note 6).
Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit - Net income per limited
partnership unit is computed by dividing the net income allocated to
the limited partners by the weighted average number of limited
partnership units outstanding during each year (24,000 in 2000, 1999, and
1998).
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Partner-
ship's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the report-
ed amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial state-
ments and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Partnership regularly reviews long-
lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
If the sum of the expected future cash flow is less than the carrying
amount of the asset, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss. No
impairment losses were required in 2000, 1999, or 1998.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments
consist primarily of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities. The carrying values of all financial instruments are
representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Partnership to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily
of cash equivalents and rent receivables. The Partnership places its
cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999
and 1997 amounts to conform to the 2000 presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 1999, the Securities and
Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"),
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The adoption of SAB 101
did not impact the financial statments.
3. PROPERTY

accumulated depreciation are as follows:

conversion of the land. A gain from involuntary conversion was recorded in
the amount of $47,117, and the colst of land was reduced by $17,883 during
the year ended December 31, 1998.
4. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES AND GENERAL PARTNERS' MANAGEMENT FEES
Under the Agreement of Limited Partnership, the general partners are to be
allocated 1% of the net profits or net 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 a real estate 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 nine percent per annum of the cash
available for distribution, on a cumulative basis, calculated as cash
generated from operation less capital expenditures.
5. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The following disclosure about segment reporting of the Partnership is
made in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enter-
prise and Related Information." The Partnership operates in a single
segment; storage facility operations, under which the Partnership rents
its storage facilities to its customers on a need basis and charges rent
on a predetermined rate.
6. INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURE
The Partnership is involved in a joint venture (the Buckley Road facility)
that owns a mini-storage facility in Aurora, Colorado. Under the terms
of the joint venture agreement, the Partnership is entitled to 30 percent
of the profits or losses of the venture and owns 30 percent of the mini-
storage facility as a tenant in common with DSI Realty Income Fund IX
("Fund IX"), which has the remaining 70 percent interest in the venture.
The agreement specifies that DSI Properties, Inc. (a general partner in
both the Partnership and Fund IX) shall make all decisions relating to
the activities of the joint venture and the management of the property.
