FORM 8-K CURRENT REPORT Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 DATE OF REPORT: AUGUST 16, 1996 Associated Planners Realty Growth Fund, (a California Limited Partnership) (Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) California 33-13983 95-4119808 (State or other jurisdiction (Commission File Number)(IRS Taxpayer I.D. Number) of incorporation or organization) 5933 WEST CENTURY BLVD., 9TH FLOOR, LOS ANGELES, CA 90045-5454 (Address of principal executive offices) (zip code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code (310) 670-0800 Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets On August 16, 1996, the Guardian Life Insurance Company of America ("Guardian"), the lender, took possession of the Parkcenter Office Building (the "Building"), located in Santa Ana, California. This transaction was consummated through the transfer of title in a transaction commonly known as "deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure". The Partnership had failed to make mortgage payments (due on a loan to Guardian) since March 1, 1996. Guardian recorded a Notice of Default with the County of Orange on June 19, 1996 with respect to the Deed of Trust on the property. As a result of the arms-length negotiations, a foreclosure of the property by the lender was averted. The balance of accrued interest and principal at the time of the transfer was $1,771,785. Security deposits held by the Partnership, totaling $18,527, were retained by the Partnership as part of the settlement of the transfer. The General Partner, West Coast Realty Advisors, had deferred collection of fees and made cash advances to the Partnership, in order to allow the Partnership to continue operating the Building, even though the combination of low rental rates and high occupancy, was making it difficult for the Partnership to meet its obligations under the mortgage obligation to Guardian, and remain solvent. In the General Partner's opinion, the long-term outlook for the property was not positive enough to justify the continued advance of funds to the Partnership. The General Partner does not expect to collect the majority of the deferred fees and cash advances made, in prior periods. A decision on the disposition of those deferred fees will be made at a later date. The Partnership effectively relinquished the property for the value of the accrued debt and interest that the Guardian forgave --$1,771,785. As a result, the Partnership recorded a net gain of approximately $779,000-- resulting from the difference between the book value of the property ($992,430, which takes into account the $1,912,727 impairment in value recorded in 1995) and the value of the debt forgiven by the lender ($1,771,785). However, for tax purposes, the amount of net loss that will be recorded is approximately $1,133,000. This is the tax basis of the property (cost less accumulated deprecation - $2,905,157) less the amount of debt forgiven by the lender ($1,771,785). Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits (a) Pro forma financial information The Parkcenter Building was transferred to the Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (the "Guardian") on August 16, 1996. The following unaudited condensed balance sheet of the Partnership assumes that the property had been disposed of at June 30, 1996. The statement is prepared on a generally accepted accounting basis.

The transaction is reported on a generally accepted accounting basis. Note (a) Transfer of Property These entries reflect the decrease in rental estate, security deposits, other accrued liabilities (interest payable), and notes payable as a result of the transfer of the property. In addition, due to the write-off of security deposits and the difference between the book value of the property and the debt forgiven, a gain of $795,850 is allocated to the limited partners (99% - $787,892) and the General Partners (1% - $7,958).

E. The Note, Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases, Assignment of Permits and Borrower's Affidavit are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Loan Documents. " F.

H. The Indebtedness is justly due, owing and delinquent and there is no offset, defense or counterclaim that Borrower has or could sustain in connection therewith. I. Lender has the right to pursue all of its remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and has caused to be recorded on June 19, 1996 in the Official Records a Notice of Default with respect to the Deed of Trust (the "Notice of Default").
