Part I
Item 1 - Business
Redwood Mortgage Investors VIII, a California limited partnership (the
Partnership), is organized to engage in business as a mortgage lender, for the
primary purpose of making loans secured primarily by first and second deeds of
trust on California real estate. Loans are arranged and serviced by Redwood
Mortgage Corp., an affiliate of the General Partners. The Partnerships
objectives are to make loans that will: (i) yield a high rate of return from
mortgage lending; and (ii) preserve and protect the Partnerships capital.
Investors should not expect the Partnership to provide tax benefits of the type
commonly associated with limited partnership tax shelter investments. The
Partnership is intended to serve as an investment alternative for investors
seeking current income. However, unlike other investments which are intended to
provide current income, an investment in the Partnership will be less liquid,
not readily transferable, and not provide a guaranteed return over its
investment life.
Initially, a minimum of 2,500 Units ($250,000) and a maximum of 150,000
Units $15,000,000) were sold. This initial offering closed on October 31, 1996.
Subsequently, the Partnership commenced a second offering of up to 300,000
additional Units ($30,000,000) commencing on December 4, 1996. All units are
being offered on a best efforts basis, which means that no one is guaranteeing
that any minimum number of Units will be sold, through broker-dealer member
firms of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (See TERMS OF THE
OFFERING and PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION).
The Partnership began selling Units in February, 1993, and began investing
in mortgages in April, 1993. At December 31, 1998, the Partnership has
investments in Mortgage Investments with principal balances totalling
$31,905,958. Interest rates ranged from 8.00% to 14.00%. Currently First Trust
Deeds comprise 70.05% of the total amount of the Mortgage Investment portfolio,
an increase of 3.64% over 1997 level of 67.59%. Junior loans (2nd and 3rd Trust
Deeds) make up 29.95%, a decrease of 2.46% over 1997 level of
32.41%.Owner-occupied homes, combined with non-owner occupied Mortgage
Investments, total 47.77% of the Mortgage Investment portfolio. Loans secured by
multi-family properties make up 10.20% of the total Mortgage Investments.
Commercial Mortgage Investments, now comprise 42.03% of the portfolio, a
decrease from 45.68% last year. 74.72% of the total Mortgage Investments, are in
six counties of the San Francisco Bay Area. The County of Stanislaus makes up
18.87% of the Mortgage Investments. Stanislaus County is a fringe County to the
San Francisco Bay Area. In 1998 the Partnership received many good lending
opportunities from this County. The balance of Mortgage Investments are
primarily in Northern California. Mortgage Investment size increased this past
year, and is now averaging $580,108 per Mortgage Investment, up from $460,091 in
1997. This increase is due to the ability of the Partnership by virtue of its
increasing size to invest in larger Mortgage Investments. The average Mortgage
Investment as of December 31, 1998, represents 2.14% of Limited Partners capital
and 1.82% of outstanding Mortgage Investments, similar to December 31, 1997
average Mortgage Investment size of 2.20% of Limited Partners capital and 1.82%
of outstanding Mortgage Investments. Some of the Mortgage Investments are
fractionalized between affiliated partnerships with objectives similar to those
of the Partnership to further reduce risk. Average equity per loan transaction
stood at 40.50%, a decrease in equity of 3.67% from the previous year. This
average equity is generally considered very conservative. Generally, the more
equity, the more protection for the lender. The General Partners believe the
Partnerships Mortgage Investment portfolio is in good condition with no
property in foreclosure as of the end of December, 1998.

The scheduled maturities for 1999 include approximately $265,376 in
Mortgage Investments which are past maturity at December 31, 1998. Interest
payment on only one of these loans was delinquent.
In 1995, the Partnership chose to allow a senior lender to foreclose out
its deed of trust on one of its Mortgage Investments. The Partnership commenced
a legal action to collect this debt. A settlement was reached for this debt
collection. As of December 31, 1998, $30,000 of the amount due has been
collected. The remaining balance due has been recorded as an account receivable
in the financial statements. Additional payments are expected in year 1999.
As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership owned a vacant lot acquired
through the foreclosure of Mortgage Investment. The vacant lot is valued at
$66,000. Additionally, the Partnership wholly owns a limited liability company
(LLC) whose sole asset is a partially completed single family residence. This
partially completed single family residence was originally foreclosed upon by
the Partnership and subsequently transferred to the LLC at a cost of $181,139.
Additional expenditures over the $181,139 basis, have been primarily for
completion of the construction.
Item 3 - Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, the Partnership may become involved in
various types of legal proceedings such as assignment of rents, bankruptcy
proceedings, appointment of receivers, unlawful detainers, judicial foreclosure,
etc., to enforce the provisions of the deeds of trust, collect the debt owed
under the promissory notes, or to protect/ recoup its investment from the real
property secured by the deeds of trust. None of these actions would typically be
of any material importance. As of the date hereof, the Partnership is not
involved in any legal proceedings other than those that would be considered part
of the normal course of business.
Item 4 - Submission of matters to vote of Security Holders (Partners).
No matters have been submitted to a vote of the Partnership.

Item II
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On December 31, 1998, the Partnership was in the offering stage of its
second offering, ($30,000,000). Contributed capital totalled $14,932,017 for the
first offering and $10,658,118 for the second offering an aggregate of
$25,590,135 (Limited Partners) as of December 31, 1998. Of this amount, none
remained in applicant status. Accordingly, together with initial approved
offering of $15,000,000 the Partnership has approval for an aggregate offering
of $45,000,000 in Units of $100 each.
At December 31, 1998, the Partnerships Mortgage Investments outstanding
totalled $31,905,958. The primary reason for an increase in Mortgage Investments
Outstanding from $6,484,707 in 1994, to $12,047,252 in 1995, to $15,642,990 in
1996, to $25,304,989 in 1997, and to $31,905,958 to December 31, 1998, was the
additional capital admitted to the Partnership through sale of Limited
Partnership Units and reinvestment of Limited Partners earnings. Additional
Limited Partners Capital contributions have totalled $4,508,824, $3,834,799,
$3,863,536, $5,565,372 and $5,100,458, and the reinvestment of earnings by
Limited Partners who have elected to reinvest earnings have totalled $239,956,
$524,988, $800,218, $1,119,465 and $1,440,687 for the years ended December 31,
1994, December 31, 1995, December 31, 1996, December 31, 1997, and December 31,
1998, respectively. To a lesser extent, Mortgage Investments outstanding have
also increased through the utilization of the Partnerships line of credit. The
effect of more outstanding Mortgage Investments raised the interest earned on
Mortgage Investments for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997,
and 1998 to $480,110, $1,031,029, $1,718,208, $2,613,008 and $3,376,293
respectively. Interest rates on Mortgage Investments ranged from 8.00% to
14.00%. The Partnership began funding Mortgage Investments on April 14, 1993 and
as of December 31, 1998, distributed earnings at an average annualized yield of
8.36%.
Currently, mortgage interest rates have decreased from those prevalent at
the inception of the Partnership. New Mortgage Investments will be originated at
these lower interest rates which could reduce the average return across the
entire Mortgage Investment portfolio held by the Partnership. In the future,
interest rates likely will change from their current levels. The General
Partners cannot at this time predict at what levels interest rates will be in
the future. Although the rates charged by the Partnership are influenced by the
level of interest rates in the market, the General Partners do not anticipate
that rates charged by the Partnership to its borrowers will change significantly
from the beginning of 1999 over the next 12 months. Based upon the rates payable
in connection with the existing Mortgage Investments, the current and
anticipated interest rates to be charged by the Partnership and the General
Partners experience, the General Partners anticipate that the annualized yield
will range between eight & nine percent (8% - 9%).
In 1995, the Partnership established a line of credit with a commercial
bank secured by its Mortgage Investments and since its inception has increased
the limit from $3,000,000 to $8,000,000. For the years ended December 31, 1996,
and 1997, and December 31, 1998, interest on Note Payable-Bank was $188,638,
$340,633 and $513,566 respectively. For 1997, and the twelve months ended
December 31, 1998, the increase in interest on notes payable-Bank has been
attributed to a higher overall credit facility utilization. As of December 31,
1998 the Partnership has borrowed $5,947,000 at an interest rate of prime +
1/2%. This facility could again increase as the Partnerships capital increases.
This added source of funds will help in maximizing the Partnership yield by
allowing the Partnership to minimize the amount of funds in lower yield
investment accounts when appropriate Mortgage Investments are not currently
available. Additionally, the Mortgage Investments made by the Partnership bear
interest at a rate in excess of the rate payable to the bank which extended the
line of credit, the amount to be retained by the Partnership, after payment of
the line of credit cost, will be greater than without the use of the line of
credit. As of December 31, 1998, the balance remained at $5,947,000 and in
accordance with the line of credit, the Partnership paid all accrued interest as
of that date.
The Partnerships income and expenses, accruals and delinquencies are within
the normal range of the General Partners expectations, based upon their
experience in managing similar partnerships over the last twenty-one years.
Mortgage servicing fees increased from $155,912 to $189,692, and to $295,052 for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998. The mortgage servicing fees
increased primarily due to increase in the outstanding Mortgage Investment
portfolio. Asset Management fees increased from $17,053 to $24,966, and to
$31,651 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The
Asset Management fee increase was due primarily to the increased Partners
capital which the General Partners are managing. All other Partnership expenses
fluctuated within a narrow range commonly expected to occur, except for interest
on note payable bank which is discussed earlier in the Management Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Borrowers
foreclosures, as set forth under Results of Operations, are a normal aspect of
Partnership operations and the General Partners anticipate that they will not
have a material effect on liquidity. Cash is constantly being generated from
interest earnings, late charges, pre-payment penalties, amortization of
principal and pay-off on Mortgage Investments. Currently, cash flow exceeds
Partnership expenses and earnings payout requirements. Excess cash flow will be
invested in new Mortgage Investment opportunities when available, used to reduce
the Partnership credit line or in other Partnership business.
The General Partners regularly review the Mortgage Investments portfolio,
examining the status of delinquencies, the underlying collateral securing these
Mortgage Investments, borrowers payment records, etc. Data from the local real
estate market and of the national and local economy are reviewed. Based upon
this information and other data, loss reserves are increased or decreased. In
1996, 1997, and 1998, the Partnership made provisions for doubtful accounts of
$55,383, $139,804, and $162,969 respectively. These provisions for doubtful
accounts were made primarily as a prudent action to guard against unidentified
collection losses. The provision for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 1998,
of $414,073 is considered by the General Partners to be adequate. Because of the
number of variables involved, the magnitude of the swings possible and the
General Partners inability to control many of these factors actual results may
and do sometimes differ significantly from estimates made by the General
Partners.
The December 1998 issue of Western Economic Developments, published by
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, said the following about the
California economy:
The pace of economic growth in California was solid in recent months,
despite continued contraction in some major industries. Total payroll employment
rose 3.2 percent on an annual basis in October and November. This is above the
average growth rate for the first eleven months of 1998, but it is below the 3.8
percent pace from last year. Faced by declining export demand and rising import
competition, durable goods manufacturers cut employment in November.
Manufacturers of computers and electronic components have been particularly hard
hit this year, and aerospace employment has contracted. However, the pace of job
creation has remained strong in sectors other than manufacturing, and this has
helped to lower the state unemployment rate to 5.7 percent in November.
Californias state and local governments have created new jobs at about a
2.5 percent annual pace this year, a pickup from prior years that is due in part
to improved fiscal capacity. About 21,000 of the 29,000 jobs created this year
were for educators at local schools.
To the Partnership, the above evaluation of the California economy means an
increase in property values, job growth, personal income growth, etc., which all
translates into more loan activity, which of course, is healthy for the
Partnerships lending activity.
At the time of subscription to the Partnership, Limited Partners make an
irrevocable decision to either take distributions of earnings monthly, quarterly
or annually or to compound earnings in their capital account. For the years
ended December 31, 1996, December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1998, the
Partnership made distributions of earnings to Limited Partners after allocation
of syndication costs of, $418,380, $495,480 and $614,383 respectively.
Distribution of Earnings to Limited Partners after allocation of syndication
costs for the years ended December 31, 1996, December 31, 1997, and December 31,
1998,
to Limited Partners capital accounts and not withdrawn was $800,218,
$1,119,465 and $1,440,687 respectively. As of December 31, 1996, December 31,
1997, and December 31, 1998, Limited Partners electing to withdraw earnings
represented 34%, 30% and 30%, respectively of the Limited Partners outstanding
capital accounts. The decreases in percentage of Limited Partners electing to
withdraw earnings is due to an increase in percent of new Limited Partners
choosing to compound earnings and the dilution effect occurring when compounding
Limited Partners capital accounts grow through earnings reinvestment compared to
Limited Partners that have chosen to liquidate earnings.
The Partnership also allows the Limited Partners to withdraw their capital
account subject to certain limitations (see liquidation provisions of
Partnership Agreement). Once a Limited Partners initial five year hold period
has passed the General Partners expect to see an increase in liquidations due to
the ability of Limited Partners to withdraw without penalty. This ability to
withdraw five years after a Limited Partners investment has the effect of
providing Limited Partner liquidity which the General Partners then expect a
portion of the Limited Partners to avail themselves of. This has the anticipated
effect of the Partnership growing, primarily through reinvestment of earnings in
years one through five. The General Partners expect to see increasing numbers of
Limited Partner withdrawals in years five through eleven, at which time the bulk
of those Limited Partners who have sought withdrawal have been liquidated. After
year eleven, liquidation generally subsides and the Partnership capital again
tends to increase through earnings reinvestment. Since the five year hold period
for most of the investors has yet to expire, as of December 31, 1998, many
Limited Partners may not as yet avail themselves of this provision for
liquidation. Earnings and capital liquidations including early withdrawals since
inception, 1993 through December 31, 1998 were:
1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998

Additionally, Limited Partners may withdraw over a period of one year
subject to certain limitations and penalties. For the years ended December 31,
1996, December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1998, $146,755, $132,619 and $244,213
respectively were liquidated subject to the 10% penalty for early withdrawal.
This represents only 1.00%, 0.63% and 0.90% of the Limited Partners ending
capital for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
These withdrawals are within the normally anticipated range that the General
Partners would expect in their experience in this and other Partnerships. The
General Partners expect that a small percentage of Limited Partners will elect
to liquidate their capital accounts over one year with a 10% early withdrawal
penalty. In originally conceiving the Partnership, the General Partners wanted
to provide Limited Partners needing their capital returned a degree of
liquidity. Generally, Limited Partners electing to withdraw over one year need
to liquidate investment to raise cash. The trend the Partnership is experiencing
in withdrawals by Limited Partners electing a one year liquidation program
represents a small percentage of Limited Partner capital as of December 31,
1996, December 31, 1997, and December 31, 1998, respectively, and is expected by
the General Partners to commonly occur at these levels.
The Year 2000 will be a challenge for the entire world, with respect to the
conversion of existing computerized operations. The Partnership is completing an
assessment of Year 2000 hardware and software issues. This assessment is not yet
fully complete. The Partnership relies on Redwood Mortgage Corp., an affiliate
of the Partnership, and third parties to provide loan and investor services and
other computerized functions, effected by Year 2000 computerized operations.
Major services provided to the Partnership by these companies are loan
servicing, accounting and investor services. The vendors that supply the
software for loan servicing have already confirmed compliance with Year 2000
issues. Installation of accounting software that is Year 2000 compliant will
begin after the 1998-year ends.
The investor servicing software Year 2000 compliance is still under
assessment. Existing investor servicing software maintenance agreements provide
for conversion to Year 2000 compliance to be provided by the vendor.
Additionally, the Partnership has contacted several vendors that provide
investor services as a possible alternative to continuing to provide investors
services in house. It would appear that these service providers would be more
expensive than the current in house systems but they do provide a back-up
alternative in the event of our own failure to fully convert. Hardware utilized
by Redwood Mortgage Corp., is currently being tested to insure that
modifications necessary to be made prior to Year 2000 can be accomplished. At
this juncture, existing hardware appears to be substantially compliant with Year
2000 issues.
The costs of updating the various software systems will be borne by the
various companies that supply the Partnership with services. Therefore, no
significant capital outlays are anticipated and the Partnership expects only
incidental costs of conversion for Year 2000 issues.
The Partnership is in the business of making Mortgage Investments secured
by real estate. The most important factor in making the Mortgage Investments is
the value of the real estate security. Year 2000 issues have some potential to
effect industries and businesses located in the marketplaces in which the
Partnership places its Mortgage Investments. This would only have an affect on
the Partnership if Year 2000 issues cause a significant downturn in the northern
California economy. In fact, Silicon Valley is located in our marketplace. There
may be significant increased demand for Silicon Valley type services and goods
as companies make ready for the Year 2000 conversion.
Although not fully developed, if all or any accounting, loan servicing and
investor services conversions should fail, the size and scope of the
Partnerships activities are such that they could be handled at an equal or
higher cost on a manual basis or outsourced to other servicers existing in the
industry, while correcting systems problems and are likely to be temporarily in
nature. While this would entail some initial set up costs, these costs would
likely not be so significant as to have a material effect upon the Partnership.
Shifting portions of daily operations to manual or outsourced systems may result
in time delays. Time delays in providing accurate and pertinent information
could negatively affect customer relations and lead to the potential loss of new
loans and Limited Partner investments.
The foregoing analysis of Year 2000 issues includes forward-looking
statements and predictions about possible or future events, results of
operations and financial condition. As such, this analysis may prove to be
inaccurate because of the assumptions made by the General Partner or the actual
development of future events. No assurance can be given that any of these
forward-looking statements and predictions will ultimately prove to be correct
or even substantially correct.
Various other risks and uncertainties could also affect the Year 2000
analysis causing the effect on the Partnership to be more severe than discussed
above. The General Partners Year 2000 compliance testing cannot guarantee that
all computer systems will function without error beyond the Year 2000. Risks
also exist with respect to Year 2000 compliance by external parties who may have
no relationship to the Partnership or the General Partners, but who have a
significant relationship with one or more third parties, and may have a system
failure that adversely affects the Partnerships ability to conduct business.
While the General Partners are attempting to identify such external parties, no
assurance can be given that it will be able to do so. Furthermore, third parties
with direct relationships with the Partnership, whose systems have been
identified as likely to be Year 2000 compliant, may suffer a breakdown due to
unforeseen circumstances. It is also possible that the information collected by
the General Partners for these third parties regarding their compliance with
Year 2000 issues may be incorrect. Finally, it should be noted that the
foregoing discussion of Year 2000 issues assumes that to the extent the General
Partners systems fail, whether because of unforeseen complications or because of
third parties failure, switching to manual operations will allow the Partnership
to continue to conduct its business. While the General Partner believes this
assumption to be reasonable, if it is incorrect, the Partnerships results of
operations would likely be adversely affected.

REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VIII
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL
Redwood Mortgage Investors VIII, (the Partnership) is a California Limited
Partnership, of which the General Partners are D. Russell Burwell, Michael R.
Burwell and Gymno Corporation, a California corporation owned and operated by
the individual General Partners. The Partnership was organized to engage in
business as a mortgage lender for the primary purpose of making Mortgage
Investments secured by Deeds of Trust on California real estate. Mortgage
Investments are being arranged and serviced by Redwood Mortgage Corp., an
affiliate of the General Partners. At December 31, 1998, the Partnership was in
the offering stage, wherein contributed capital totalled $25,590,135 in limited
partner contributions of an approved aggregate offering of $45,000,000, in units
of $100 each (255,902).
A minimum of 2,500 units ($250,000) and a maximum of 150,000 units
($15,000,000) were initially offered through qualified broker-dealers. This
initial offering was closed in October, 1996. In December 1996, the Partnership
commenced a second offering of an additional 300,000 Units ($30,000,000) As
Mortgage Investments are identified, partners are transferred from applicant
status to admitted partners participating in Mortgage Investment operations.
Each months income is distributed to partners based upon their proportionate
share of partners capital. Some partners have elected to withdraw income on a
monthly, quarterly or annual basis.
A. Sales Commissions - Formation Loan Sales commissions are not paid
directly by the Partnership out of the offering proceeds. Instead, the
Partnership loans to Redwood Mortgage, an affiliate of the General Partners,
amounts to pay all sales commissions and amounts payable in connection with
unsolicited orders. This loan is referred to as the Formation Loan. It is
unsecured and non-interest bearing.
The Formation Loan relating to the initial $15,000,000 offering totalled
$1,074,840, which was 7.2% of limited partners contributions of $14,932,017
(under the limit of 9.1% relative to the initial offering). It is to be repaid,
without interest, in ten annual installments of principal, which commenced on
January 1, 1997, following the year the initial offering closed, which was in
1996.
The Formation Loan relating to the second offering ($30,000,000) totalled
$839,413 at December 31, 1998, which was 7.9% of the limited partners
contributions of $10,658,118. Sales commissions range from 0% (units sold by
General Partners) to 9% of gross proceeds. The Partnership anticipates that the
sales commissions will approximate 7.6% based on the assumption that 65% of
investors will elect to reinvest earnings, thus generating 9% commissions. The
principal balance of the Formation Loan will increase as additional sales of
units are made each year. The amount of the annual installment payment to be
made by Redwood Mortgage, during the offering stage, will be determined at
annual installments of one-tenth of the principal balance of the Formation Loan
as of December 31 of each year. Such payment shall be due and payable by
December 31 of the following year with the first such payment beginning December
31, 1997. Upon completion of the offering, the balance will be repaid in ten
equal annual installments.

syndication costs payable by the Partnership are estimated to be $1,200,000 if
the maximum is sold (4% of $30,000,000). The General Partners will pay any
syndication expenses (excluding selling commissions) in excess of ten percent of
the gross proceeds or $1,200,000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A Accrual Basis
Revenues and expenses are accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting
wherein income is recognized as earned and expenses are recognized as incurred.
Once a Mortgage Investment is categorized as impaired, interest is no longer
accrued thereon.
B. Management Estimates
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make
estimates based on the information available that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses
for the related periods. Such estimates relate principally to the determination
of the allowance for doubtful accounts, including the valuation of impaired
mortgage investments, and the valuation of real estate acquired through
foreclosure. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
C. Mortgage Investments, Secured by Deeds of Trust
The Partnership has both the intent and ability to hold the Mortgage
Investments to maturity, i.e., held for long-term investment. They are therefore
valued at cost for financial statement purposes with interest thereon being
accrued by the simple interest method.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements (SFAS) 114 and 118
(effective January 1, 1995) provide that if the probable ultimate recovery of
the carrying amount of a Mortgage Investment, with due consideration for the
fair value of collateral, is less than the recorded investment and related
amounts due and the impairment is considered to be other than temporary, the
carrying amount of the investment (cost) shall be reduced to the present value
of future cash flows. The adoption of these statements did not have a material
effect on the financial statements of the Partnership because that was the
valuation method previously used on impaired loans.
At December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, there were no Mortgage Investments
categorized as impaired by the Partnership. Had there been a computed amount for
the reduction in carrying values of impaired loans, the reduction would have
been included in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
As presented in Note 10 to the financial statements, the average Mortgage
Investment to appraised value of security at the time the losses were
consummated was 59.50%. When a loan is valued for impairment purposes, an
updating is made in the valuation of collateral security. However, such a low
loan to value ratio has the tendency to minimize reductions for impairment.
D. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include interest bearing and non-interest bearing bank deposits.
E. Real Estate Owned, Held for Sale
Real Estate owned, held for sale, includes real estate acquired through
foreclosure and is stated at the lower of the recorded investment in the
property, net of any senior indebtedness, or at the propertys estimated fair
value, less estimated costs to sell. At December 31, 1998, there was one such
piece of property with costs totaling $77,396 less a reduction of $11,396 to
arrive at the net fair value of $66,000.
REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VIII
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted the provisions of
Statement No 121 (SFAS 121) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to
be disposed of. The adoption of SFAS 121 did not have a material impact on the
Partnerships financial position because the methods indicated were essentially
those previously used by the Partnership.
F. Investment in Limited Liability Corporation (see Note 7)
The Partnership carries its investment in a Limited Liability Corporation
as investment in real estate, which is at the lower of costs or fair value, less
estimated costs to sell.
G. Income Taxes
No provision for Federal and State income taxes is made in the financial
statements since income taxes are the obligation of the partners if and when
income taxes apply.
H. Organization and Syndication Costs
The Partnership bears its own organization and syndication costs (other
than certain sales commissions and fees described above) including legal and
accounting expenses, printing costs, selling expenses, and filing fees.
Organizational costs have been capitalized and were amortized over a five year
period. Syndication costs are charged against partners capital and are being
allocated to individual partners consistent with the partnership agreement.
I. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Mortgage Investments and the related accrued interest, fees, and advances
are analyzed on a continuous basis for recoverability. Delinquencies are
identified and followed as part of the Mortgage Investment system. A provision
is made for doubtful accounts to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts to
an amount considered by management to be adequate, with due consideration to
collateral values, to provide for unrecoverable accounts receivable, including
impaired Mortgage Investments, unspecified mortgage investments, accrued
interest and advances on Mortgage Investments, and other accounts receivable
(unsecured). The composition of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of
December 31, 1998, and 1997 was as follows:
December 31,
-----------------------------------------
1998 1997
--------------- ---------------
Impaired mortgage investments $0 $0
Unspecified mortgage investments 370,073 213,500

J. Net Income Per $1,000 Invested
Amounts reflected in the statements of income as net income per $1,000
invested by Limited Partners for the entire period are actual amounts allocated
to Limited Partners who have their investment throughout the period and have
elected to either leave their earnings to compound or have elected to receive
monthly distributions of their net income. Individual income is allocated each
month based on the Limited Partners pro rata share of Partners Capital.
Because the net income percentage varies from month to month, amounts per $1,000
will vary for those individuals who made or withdrew investments during the
period, or select other options. However, the net income per $1,000 average
invested has approximated those reflected for those whose investments and
options have remained constant.
NOTE 3 - GENERAL PARTNERS AND RELATED PARTIES
The following are commissions and/or fees which are paid to the General
Partners and/or related parties.
A. Mortgage Brokerage Commissions
For fees in connection with the review, selection, evaluation, negotiation
and extension of Partnership Mortgage Investments in an amount up to 12% of the
Mortgage Investments until 6 months after the termination date of the offering.
Thereafter, Mortgage Investment brokerage commissions will be limited to an
amount not to exceed 4% of the total Partnership assets per year. The Mortgage
Investment brokerage commissions are paid by the borrowers, and thus, are not an
expense of the Partnership. In 1998 and 1997, Mortgage Investment brokerage
commissions paid by the borrowers were $604,836 and $837,399, respectively.
B. Mortgage Servicing Fees
Monthly mortgage servicing fees of up to 1/8 of 1% (1.5% annual) of the
unpaid principal, is paid to Redwood Mortgage, or such lesser amount as is
reasonable and customary in the geographic area where the property securing the
mortgage is located. Mortgage servicing fees of $295,052, $189,692 and $155,912
were incurred for years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
C. Asset Management Fee
The General Partners receive monthly fees for managing the Partnerships
Mortgage Investment portfolio and operations up to 1/32 of 1% of the net asset
value (3/8 of 1% annual). Management fees of $31,651, $24,966 and $17,053 were
incurred for years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
D. Other Fees
The Partnership Agreement provides for other fees such as reconveyance,
mortgage assumption and mortgage extension fees. Such fees are incurred by the
borrowers and are paid to parties related to the General Partners.
E. Income and Losses
All income will be credited or charged to partners in relation to their
respective partnership interests. The partnership interest of the General
Partners (combined) shall be a total of 1%.
REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VIII
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
F. Operating Expenses
The General Partners or their affiliate (Redwood Mortgage) are reimbursed
by the Partnership for all operating expenses actually incurred by them on
behalf of the Partnership, including without limitation, out-of-pocket general
and administration expenses of the Partnership, accounting and audit fees, legal
fees and expenses, postage and preparation of reports to Limited Partners. Such
reimbursements are reflected as expenses in the Statement of Income.
The General Partners collectively or severally were to contribute 1/10 of
1% in cash contributions as proceeds from the offering are admitted to limited
Partner capital. As of December 31, 1998 a General Partner, GYMNO Corporation,
had contributed $25,588, as capital in accordance with Section 4.02(a) of the
Partnership Agreement.
NOTE 4 - OTHER PARTNERSHIP PROVISIONS
A. Applicant Status
Subscription funds received from purchasers of units are not admitted to
the Partnership until appropriate lending opportunities are available. During
the period prior to the time of admission, which is anticipated to be between
1-120 days in most cases, purchasers subscriptions will remain irrevocable and
will earn interest at money market rates, which are lower than the anticipated
return on the Partnerships Mortgage Investment portfolio.
During the periods ending December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, interest
totalling $4,454, $9,562 and $2,618 respectively, was credited to partners in
applicant status. As Mortgage Investments were made and partners were
transferred to regular status to begin sharing in income from Mortgage
Investments secured by deeds of trust, the interest credited was either paid to
the investors or transferred to partners capital along with the original
investment.
B. Term of the Partnership
The term of the Partnership is approximately 40 years, unless sooner
terminated as provided. The provisions provide for no capital withdrawal for the
first five years, subject to the penalty provision set forth in (E) below.
Thereafter, investors have the right to withdraw over a five-year period, or
longer.
C. Election to Receive Monthly, Quarterly or Annual Distributions
Upon subscriptions, investors elect either to receive monthly, quarterly or
annual distributions of earnings allocations, or to allow earnings to compound.
Subject to certain limitations, a compounding investor may subsequently change
his election, but an investors election to have cash distributions is
irrevocable.
D. Profits and Losses
Profits and losses are allocated among the Limited Partners according to
their respective capital accounts after 1% is allocated to the General Partners.
REDWOOD MORTGAGE INVESTORS VIII
(A California Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
E. Liquidity, Capital Withdrawals and Early Withdrawals
There are substantial restrictions on transferability of Units and
accordingly an investment in the Partnership is illiquid. Limited Partners have
no right to withdraw from the Partnership or to obtain the return of their
capital account for at least one year from the date of purchase of Units. In
order to provide a certain degree of liquidity to the Limited Partners after the
one-year period, Limited Partners may withdraw all or part of their Capital
Accounts from the Partnership in four quarterly installments beginning on the
last day of the calendar quarter following the quarter in which the notice of
withdrawal is given, subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. The 10% penalty
is applicable to the amount withdrawn as stated in the Notice of Withdrawal and
will be deducted from the Capital Account and the balance distributed in four
quarterly installments. Withdrawal after the one-year holding period and before
the five-year holding period will be permitted only upon the terms set forth in
the Partnership Agreement.
Limited Partners will also have the right after five years from the date of
purchase of the Units to withdraw from the Partnership on an installment basis,
generally over a five year period in twenty (20) quarterly installments or
longer. Once this five year period expires, no penalty will be imposed if
withdrawal is made in twenty (20) quarterly installments or longer.
Notwithstanding the five-year (or longer) withdrawal period, the General
Partners will liquidate all or part of a Limited Partners capital account in
four quarterly installments beginning on the last day of the calendar quarter
following the quarter in which the notice of withdrawal is given, subject to a
10% early withdrawal penalty applicable to any sums withdrawn prior to the time
when such sums could have been withdrawn pursuant to the five-year (or longer)
withdrawal period.
The Partnership will not establish a reserve from which to fund withdrawals
and, accordingly, the Partnerships capacity to return a Limited Partners
capital is restricted to the availability of Partnership cash flow.
F. Guaranteed Interest Rate For Offering Period
During the period commencing with the day a Limited Partner is admitted to
the Partnership and ending 3 months after the offering termination date, the
General Partners shall guarantee an earnings rate equal to the greater of actual
earnings from mortgage operations or 2% above The Weighted Average cost of Funds
Index for the Eleventh District Savings Institutions (Savings & Loan & Thrift
Institutions) as computed by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco on a
monthly basis, up to a maximum interest rate of 12%. To date, actual realization
exceeded the guaranteed amount for each month.
NOTE 5- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Partnership is not a defendant in any legal actions.
NOTE 6 - NOTE PAYABLE - BANK LINE OF CREDIT
The Partnership has a bank line of credit expiring September 30, 2000, of
up to $8,000,000 at .5% over prime secured by its Mortgage Investment portfolio.
The note payable balances were $5,947,000 and $5,640,000 at December 31, 1998,
and 1997, respectively, and the interest rate was 8.25% at December 31, 1998,
(7.75% prime plus .50%).
NOTE 7 - INVESTMENT IN LIMITED LIABILITY CORPORATION
As a result of acquiring real property through foreclosure, the Partnership
has contributed its interest (principally land) to a Limited Liability
Corporation, which is owned 100% by the Partnership, and which will complete the
construction and sell the property. The Partnership expects to realize a profit
from the venture.

exceeds $1,000. Applicable amounts become taxable when distribution is made to
participants.
NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of financial instruments:
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amount equals fair value. All
amounts, including interest bearing, are subject to immediate withdrawal.
(b) The carrying value of mortgage investments (see note 2(c) is
$31,905,958. The fair value of these investments of $32,231,632 is estimated
based upon projected cash flows discounted at the estimated current interest
rates at which similar loans would be made. The applicable amount of the
allowance for doubtful accounts along with accrued interest and advances related
thereto should also be considered in evaluating the fair value versus the
carrying value.
