                       (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  and  southwestern states.    The
Partnership purchased such properties on an all cash basis, or operated them  on
a moderately leveraged 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.



                        ASSOCIATED PLANNERS REALTY FUND
                       (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.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No. 125, "Accounting for  Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (SFAS  No.
125) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is effective  for
transfers and servicing of financial  assets and extinguishments of  liabilities
occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied prospectively.   Earlier
or retroactive  application  is  not  permitted.    The  new  standard  provides
accounting and  reporting standards  for transfers  and servicing  of  financial
assets and  extinguishments of  liabilities.   The Partnership  does not  expect
adoption to  have a  material effect  on its  financial position  or results  of
operations.

NOTE 4- NOTES 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 total construction loan commitment  was
for $1,365,000 that matured on October 5, 1996.  Borrowings on the  construction
loan totaled $1,225,950 as of December 31, 1995.  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
twenty years; due November  1, 2006; and current  monthly payments of  principal
and interest of $14,919.   The note  payable balance is  $1,484,116 at June  30,
1997.

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.

The aggregate annual future maturities at June 30, 1997 are as follows:

      1997 ..................................$12,064
      1998 .................................. 30,619
      1999 .................................. 33,524
      2000 .................................. 36,706
      2001 .................................. 40,189
      Thereafter ..........................1,331,014

      Total                               $1,484,116

NOTE 5- NET INCOME AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP LIST

The Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit was computed in accordance with  the
partnership agreement using the weighted  average number of outstanding  limited
partnership units of 7,499 for 1997 and 1996.

The  Limited  Partner  cash  distributions,  computed  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership Agreement, were as follows:

                        Outstanding        Amount            Total

December 31, 1996          7,499            9.20              68,991

Total                                                       $137,982

December 31, 1995          7,499            7.14             53,543

Total                                                       $114,660

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

NOTE 6 - 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.

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 intended  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.

                       (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended June 30, 1997 the Partnership made distributions  to
the general and limited partners totaling $153,313, of which $40,884 constituted
a return of capital.   The $153,313 in  distributions compared favorably to  the
$194,931  in  cash   generated  from  property   operations  (net  income   plus
depreciation expense).  On February 3, 1997 and May 9, 1997 the Partnership made
distributions of $9.20 to units  holders of record as  of December 31, 1996  and
March 31, 1997, respectively.  Distributions are determined by management  based
on cash  flow and  the liquidity  position of  the Partnership  and  anticipated
occupancy of  the  properties.   It  is  the  intention of  management  to  make
quarterly distributions of cash, subject to maintenance of reasonable reserves.

Management uses cash as its primary  measure of a partnership's liquidity.   The
amount of cash  that represents  adequate liquidity  for a  real estate  limited
partnership depends on several factors.  Among them are:

      1.  Relative risk of the partnership;
      2.  Condition of the partnership's properties;
      3.  Stage  in   the  partnership's   life  cycle   (e.g.,   money-raising,
          acquisition, operating or disposition phase); and
      4.  Distribution to partners

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

The Partnership has adequate  liquidity based upon the  above four points.   The
first point  refers to  the approximately  1%  property reserve  requirement  of
capital funds raised  that the Partnership  currently has;  this relatively  low
reserve level is appropriate since all Partnership properties are acquired  with
the use of no debt financing or moderate financing.  This is a minimum guideline
that is disclosed in the Partnership's prospectus; the Partnership had more than
enough funds to  meet this  requirement as of  June 30,  1997.   Related to  the
property reserve  requirement  is  the  second point  -  the  condition  of  the
Partnership's properties.    Since the  properties  are in  good  condition,  no
unusual maintenance and repair expenditures are anticipated.  The third point is
relevant to the Partnership because after the November 1987 purchase of the Simi
Valley property,  the  Partnership  had effectively  completed  its  acquisition
phase, and entered  the operating phase.   The fourth  point relates to  partner
distributions. The Partnership  makes distributions  from operations  quarterly.
Such distributions are subject to payment of Partnership expenses and reasonable
reserves for expenses, maintenance, and replacements.

During the  six months  ended June  30, 1997  the Partnership  paid the  General
Partner a partnership management fee of $15,331 and distributed $137,982 to  the
limited partners  of  which  $40,884  constituted a  return  of  capital.    The
partnership management fee  distribution to the  general partner was  calculated
and paid in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

The Tax Reform Acts of 1986 and 1987 and the Revenue Reconciliation Acts of 1990
and 1993 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's operations.

The effects of the slowdown in  the economy, inflation and changing prices  have
not had  a  material  impact  on the  Partnership's  revenues  and  income  from
operations. During  the  years  of  the  Partnership's  existence,  inflationary
pressures in the U.S.  economy have been minimal,  and this has been  consistent
with the  experience of  the  Partnership in  operating  rental real  estate  in
California.   The  Partnership  has  several clauses  in  the  leases  with  its
properties' tenants that  would help alleviate  much of the  negative impact  of
inflation.

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

CASH FLOWS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Cash resources  decreased $19,500  during the  six months  ended June  30,  1997
compared to a $147,698 increase in cash resources for the six months ended  June
30, 1996.   During the  six months ended  June 30,  1997, $175,070  in cash  was
provided by operating activities.  This  resulted primarily from net cash  basis
income of $194,931 from operations (net income plus depreciation expense) plus a
$14,846 increase in  accounts payable,  offset by  a $31,947  increase in  other
assets (primarily due to an  increase in a property  tax impound account) and  a
$6,870 decrease in  security deposits and  prepaid rents (due  to a decrease  in
tenants prepaying subsequent months rent).   In contrast, during the six  months
ended June 30,  1996, $275,098  in cash  was provided  by operating  activities.
This resulted primarily from net cash  basis income of $145,482 plus a  $119,990
increase in accounts payable (primarily attributable to a $165,440 liability  to
reimburse a tenant in improvement costs incurred in connection with construction
move-in costs).  The sole use of cash in investing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 was $20,980 expended for tenant improvements to an  existing
tenant at the Shaw Villa Shopping  Center.  In contrast,   the six months  ended
June 30, 1996 did not have any investing  activities.  For the six months  ended
June 30, 1997, financing activities used $173,590 via distributions to  limited,
general and  minority interest  partners   totaling $159,924  and repayments  on
notes payable of  $13,666.  In  contrast, the six  months ended  June 30,  1996,
financing activities used an additional $127,400 via distributions to these same
parties.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (SFAS No.
125) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is effective for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied prospectively.  Earlier
or retroactive application is not permitted.  The new standard provides
accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishments of liabilities.  The Company does not expect adoption
to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operations for the six months ended June  30, 1997, reflect an entire period  of
operations for the Partnership's properties.   Rental revenue for the three  and
six months ended June 30, 1997 increased from that for the three and six  months
ended June  30, 1996  by $31,104  and $46,094,  respectively, due  to  increased
occupancy at the Shaw Villa Shopping Center, which pertains to the completion of
the construction-in-progress in  1995 and subsequent  leasing of the  additional
8,000 square feet of rentable space, and additionally improved occupancy at  the
multi-tenant Santa Fe Business  Park Building.   Interest income increased  $907
(24%) during the six months ended June 30, 1997 when compared to the six  months
ended June 30,  1996.   This increase is due to larger  amounts of cash held  in
interest bearing accounts during the six  months ended June 30, 1997 as  opposed
to June 30, 1996.

The Partnership generated $194,931 in income from operations before depreciation
of $82,502 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $145,482 in income
from operations before depreciation of $63,684 for the six months ended June 30,
1996  Depreciation expense increased $18,818  for the six months ended June  30,
1997 as compared  to June  30, 1996 due  to the  completion of  construction-in-
progress of the Clovis property.   The completion was completed during 1995  and
total construction  costs of  $1,372,000 was  allocated  to land,  building  and
improvements.  Interest expense increased $26,714  for the six months ended June
30, 1997  compared to  the six  months  ended June  30,  1996 due  primarily  to
interest expense incurred after the construction was completed at the Shaw Villa
Shopping Center and the permanent financing which was obtained in November 1996.

                       (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

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

Operating  expenses  decreased  $21,880  as  a  result  of  lower  repairs   and
maintenance costs for the  six months ended  June 30, 1997  compared to the  six
months ended  June 30,  1996.   General  and administrative  expenses  increased
$8,926 due primarily  to an  increase in legal  and accounting  expenses and  an
adjustment to the 1995 minority interest  account balance which was adjusted  in
January 1996.

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership distributed  $137,982
to the limited partners and  $15,331 to the general  partner, as opposed to  the
six months ended June 30, 1996 when the Partnership distributed $114,660 to  the
limited partners and $12,740 to the general partners.  Cash basis income for the
six months  ended June  30, 1997  was  $194,931.   This  was derived  by  adding
depreciation and amortization to net income.  Thus cash distributions during the
six months ended June 30, 1997 were ($41,618)  less than cash basis income.   In
contrast, distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1996 were ($18,082)
less than cash basis income.

Net income per  limited partner  unit increased from  $9.05 for  the six  months
ended June 30, 1996 to $12.50 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,  primarily
due to the increase in rental  income as a result of  the expansion of the  Shaw
Villa Shopping Center.
