                       (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

                         SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS
Associated Planners Realty Fund (the "Partnership"),  a California  limited
partnership,  was  formed  on  November 19, 1985 under the  Revised  Limited
Partnership Act  of the  State of California.   The Partnership was formed to
acquire  income-producing real property throughout  the  United  States  with
emphasis on properties located in California.  The Partnership purchased such
properties on an all cash basis and intended to own and operate such 
properties for investment over an anticipated holding  period of 
approximately five to ten years.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any assets that 
the partners may have outside of their interest in the partnership, nor to 
any personal obligations, including income taxes, of the partners.

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  
Associated Planners Realty Fund and all joint ventures in which it has a 
majority interest.

RENTAL REAL ESTATE AND DEPRECIATION
Assets are stated at cost.   Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over estimated useful lives ranging from five to 35 years.

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of an asset 
may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed.   If an
evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows 
associated with the asset would be compared to the carrying amount to 
determine if a write-down to market value is required.

RENTAL INCOME
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis to the extent that 
rental revenue is deemed collectible.

                       (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

                         SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES


STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers 
cash in the bank and all highly liquid investments purchased with original 
maturities of three months or less, to be cash and cash equivalents.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported  amounts of  revenues and  expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
For comparative purposes, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified 
to conform to the current year presentation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting  for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed  of"
(SFAS No. 121) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board is effective
for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
The new standard establishes new guidelines regarding when impairment losses 
on long-lived assets, which include plant  and equipment, and certain  
identifiable intangible assets,  should be  recognized and  how impairment
losses should  be measured.  The Partnership elected adoption of SFAS 
No. 121 on January 1,  1996. This adoption had no effect on the statement of
income for the nine months ended September 30,  1996 as there were no 
impairment  amounts recorded  during  the period.

NOTE 2- RENTAL REAL ESTATE (CONTINUED)

A significant portion  of the  Partnership's rental  revenue was  earned 
from  a tenant whose individual rent represented more than 10% of total 
rental  revenue.  Specifically:

     One tenant accounted for 38% in 1996;
     One tenant accounted for 38% in 1995;

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

(a)   For Partnership  management  services rendered  to  the Partnership,  
the General Partner is  entitled to receive  10% of all  distributions of 
cash  from operations.  These amounts  totaled $6,791 for the  quarter 
ended September  30, 1996 and $6,791 for the  quarter ended September 30,
1995, and $19,531 for  the nine months  ended September  30, 1996  and 
$24,455  for the  nine months  ended September 30,  1995.   The amounts paid 
to  the general  partner in  1995  were treated as an expense of  the 
Partnership, while the  amounts paid in 1996  were treated as distributions 
to the general partner (See Note 7).

(b)   For administrative  services  provided to  the Partnership, the General
Partner is  entitled to reimbursement for the cost of certain  personnel and
relevant expenses.   These amounts totaled $3,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, and $9,000 for the nine months  
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

(c)   Property management fees incurred, in accordance with  the Partnership
Agreement, to West Coast Realty Management, Inc., an affiliate of the 
corporate General Partner, totaled $9,226  for the quarter ended  
September 30, 1996, and $5,544 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, and 
$26,536 for the nine months ended September 30,  1996 and $22,337 for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1995.

NOTE 4- CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS AND CONSTRUCTION LOAN PAYABLE

In January 1995, the Partnership closed escrow  on a parcel of land adjacent  
to the Shaw Villa Shopping Center.   The purchase price  of the land was  
$206,749, including a  $13,102 acquisition  fee paid  to the  Advisor.   The 
purchase  was financed using $23,602 in cash, and the remainder by a one year
construction loan from Valliwide Bank of Fresno.   The loan bears interest at
2% over the bank's prime rate (8.25% at September 30, 1996).   The total 
construction loan commitment is for $1,365,000 which matures on 
October  5, 1996.  Borrowings on the construction loan totaled $1,225,950 as 
of December 31, 1995 and  $1,218,792 as of September 30, 1996.   The 
construction loan amortization is interest only with payments of $78,139 paid
during the nine months ended September 30,  1996.  The construction was 
completed  during 1995  and  total construction  costs  of $1,372,900 was  
allocated  to land,  building  and improvements.    Included in construction
costs  is   $87,838  in  construction loan interest that  was capitalized.

The carrying amount of the loan  is a reasonable estimate  of fair value of  
the construction loan payable because the  interest rates approximate the  
borrowing rates currently  available for  mortgage loans  with similar terms
and  average maturities.

NOTE 5- COMMITMENTS

In October  1996, the  Partnership obtained permanent financing from a major
insurance company to replace the construction loan with a twenty year loan.  
The terms of the loan are as follows:   Principal  - $1,500,000;   Interest 
Rate  of 9.1% fixed for  five years then  may be adjusted  to the weekly  
average of  the five-year Treasury Note yield for the seventh week prior to 
the Adjustment  Date (5th anniversary date) plus 250 basis points, but in no
event  less than  the existing rate, nor to exceed the maximum rate allowed 
by law;  Amortized over 20 years; due November 1, 2006; and current monthly
payments of  principal  and interest of $13,593.

The Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit was computed in accordance with  
the partnership agreement using the weighted  average number of outstanding

Total                                                    $1,657,040

Distributions were paid in the fiscal quarter following the record date.


NOTE 7 - REALLOCATION OF PARTNER BALANCES

Per the provisions  of Section 11.1  (V)(ii) of the  Partnership Agreement,  
the General Partner determined that action was  necessary to "cure the  
ambiguities" caused by the Agreement itself.  The ambiguity involved the 
treatment of the partnership management fee, being paid to the General 
Partner, as an expense of the Partnership, when in fact, it should have been 
treated as a general partner withdrawal of capital.   In order to properly  
reflect this  inception to date correction, a transfer of $305,548 was made 
from the General Partner's capital account to the Limited Partners capital  
account during the quarter ended  March 31, 1996.

impairment  losses on long-lived assets, which include plant and equipment, 
and certain  identifiable intangible assets,  should be recognized and how 
impairment  losses should  be measured.  The Partnership elected adoption of
SFAS No. 121 on January 1,  1996.  This adoption had no effect on the 
statement of income for the nine months ended September 30,  1996 as there 
were  no impairment  amounts recorded  during  the period.

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


INTRODUCTION

Associated Planners Realty Fund (the "Partnership") was organized in November
1985, under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act.   The Partnership
began offering units for sale on March 28, 1986.   As of December 27, 1987, 
the Partnership  had  raised  $7,499,000  in  gross  capital  contributions.
The Partnership  netted  approximately  $6,720,000 after sales commissions   
and syndication costs.

The Partnership was  organized for  the purpose  of investing  in, holding,  
and managing improved,  leveraged  income-producing property,  such  as  
residential property, office  buildings, commercial  buildings, industrial  
properties,  and shopping centers.   The Partnership intends to own and
operate such  properties for investment over an anticipated holding period 
of approximately five to  ten years.

The Partnership's principal investment objectives are  to invest in rental  
real estate properties which will:

     (1)  Preserve and protect the Partnership's invested capital;

     (2)  Provide for cash distributions from operations;

     (3)  Provide gains through potential appreciation; and

     (4)  Generate Federal income tax deductions so that during the early 
          years of property operations, a portion of cash distributions may 
          be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes and, therefore, 
          may not represent taxable income to the  limited partners.

The ownership and operation  of any income-producing real estate is  subject 
to those risks  inherent in  all real  estate investments,  including 
national  and local  economic  conditions,  the  supply  and  demand  for  
similar  types   of properties, competitive marketing conditions, zoning 
changes, possible  casualty losses, increases in real estate taxes, 
assessments, and operating expenses,  as well as others.

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

The Partnership is operated by the General Partner subject to the terms of 
the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited  Partnership.  The Partnership 
has  no employees, and all  administrative services are  provided by  West 
Coast  Realty Advisors, Inc., the General Partner.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, reflect an entire period 
of operations for the Partnership's properties.   Rental revenue for the 
three  and nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased from that for the 
three and  nine months ended September 30, 1995 by  $52,813 and $63,139,  
respectively, due  to increased occupancy of the single tenant Santa Fe 
Business Park Building, offset by the sale of the Shurgard Mini-Warehouse 
facility on May 15, 1995.  Costs and expenses related to the properties 
operation increased for  the three and  nine months ended September 30, 1996
compared to the  three and  nine months  ended September 30,  1995  by 
$54,212  and  $45,234, respectively,  primarily  due  to interest expense of 
$36,962  for the three months  ended September 30, 1996  and $78,139 for the 
nine months ended  September 30, 1996.  This interest  pertained to the 
construction  loan related  to the  Clovis, California  property.   These
interest charges  were  incurred  after the  completion  of  construction.
In addition to the increase in interest expense, property management fees 
increased due to increased occupancy at the Santa Fe Business Park Building 
and  operating costs increased due to higher property insurance costs, 
consulting  fees, general repairs and maintenance costs and an adjustment to
the 1995  minority interest account balance.  This increases were offset by 
lower property  taxes, accounting and legal costs and partnership operating 
costs.

The Partnership generated $216,024 in income from operations before 
depreciation of $95,526 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 
compared to $346,110 in income from operations before depreciation of $94,594
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.   This decrease in income from 
operations  is  primarily attributable to the gain of $116,749 recognized 
during the  nine months  ended September 30,  1995 relating to the sale of  
the Puyallup,  Washington  mini-warehouse building to Shurgard Storage 
Centers, Inc. on May 15, 1995.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, $214,562 in cash was 
provided by operating activities.  This resulted primarily from net cash 
basis income  of $216,024 from operations (net income plus  depreciation 
expense) plus a  $35,450 decrease in  other  assets (primarily  attributable  
to a  decrease  in  prepaid insurance and miscellaneous receivable balances).
These additions to operating activities were offset by a $25,356 decrease in
trade accounts payable, and a $16,434 adjustment to the minority interest 
account balance for the Encinitas properties.  In contrast, during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, $384,106 was provided by operating 
activities.   This resulted primarily from cash basis income of $229,361 
(net income plus depreciation expense less gain on sale of property), plus 
$55,898 in proceeds received from the liquidation of the government 
securities account, plus $79,280 decrease in other assets (primarily due to
the reclassification of deposits used in construction in progress of the 
Shaw Villa property  and a  $23,471 increase  in security  deposits and  
prepaid rents (due to  prepaid rents  received prior to  September 1995  
which were not received prior to December 31, 1994), less a $2,536 decrease 
in accounts payable (attributable to normal decrease in trade payable). 
There were no investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 
1996.  In contrast,  $391,847 in cash was provided by investing activities 
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.   This resulted from $1,517,819
in  gross  proceeds  received  in connection with the sale of the Puyallup, 
Washington mini-warehouse, offset by $1,114,226 in construction in progress 
costs associated with the Shaw Villa property and $11,746 in restaurant 
equipment purchased for a Shaw Villa property tenant.  Cash used in 
financing  activities for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 totaled
$202,466, of which $175,777 were distributions paid to the limited partners
and  $19,531  paid  to the  general  partners  and  $7,158 in repayments on 
the construction loan payable.  In contrast, $638,898 was used by financing 
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  This resulted from
$1,657,040 in distributions paid to the limited partners and $15,221 paid to 
the general partners offset by $1,033,363 in proceeds received from a lender 
in connection with the construction in progress of the Shaw Villa property.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONT.)

In January 1995, the Partnership closed escrow  on a parcel of land adjacent  
to the Shaw Villa Shopping Center.   The purchase price  of the land was  
$206,749, including a  $13,102 acquisition  fee paid  to the  Advisor.   
The purchase  was financed using $23,602  in cash, and  the remainder by  
a one year  construction loan from Valliwide Bank of Fresno, that was 
subsequently extended to October 5, 1996.   The loan  bears interest  at 2%  
over the  bank's prime  rate (8.25%  at September 30, 1996).  The total  
construction loan commitment is for  $1,365,000 which matures on 
October 5, 1996.   Borrowings on the construction loan  totaled $1,225,950.
The construction loan amortization  is interest only with  payments of 
$78,139  paid  during  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996.   The
construction  was  completed  during  1995  and  total  construction  costs   
of $1,372,900 was  allocated  to land,  building  and improvements.    
Included  in construction  costs  is   $87,838  in  construction   loan  
interest  that   was capitalized.

In October  1996, the  Partnership obtained  permanent  financing from  a  
major insurance company to replace the construction loan with a twenty year 
loan.  The terms of the loan are as follows:   Principal  - $1,500,000;   
Interest Rate of 9.1% fixed for five years then may be adjusted to the weekly
average of the five-year Treasury Note yield for the seventh week prior to 
the Adjustment  Date (5th anniversary date) plus 250 basis points, but in no
event  less than  the existing rate, nor to exceed the maximum rate allowed 
by law;  Amortized over 20 years; due November 1, 2006; and current monthly
payments of  principal  and interest of $13,593.

The carrying amount is a reasonable  estimate of fair value of the  
construction loan  payable  because  the  interest  rates  approximate  the
borrowing  rates currently  available  for  mortgage  loans   with  similar
terms  and   average maturities.

Net income per limited  partner unit decreased from  $29.05 for the nine  
months ended September 30, 1995 to $13.32 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996, primarily due  to the  $116,749  gain on  sale  of the  Shurgard  
Mini-warehouse facility on May 15, 1995.
