                         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 or operated them on  a moderately  leveraged
basis, and originally 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.

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. 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 $1,477,048 at  September
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 September 30, 1997 are as follows:

      1997 ..................................  $4,996
      1998 ..................................  30,619
      1999 ..................................  33,524
      2000 ..................................  36,706
      2001 ..................................  40,189
      Thereafter .......................... 1,331,014

      Total                                $1,477,048

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:

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 originally  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.

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  nine  months  ended  September   30,  1997  the  Partnership   made
distributions to the general  and limited partners  totaling $238,302, of  which
$83,246 constituted a return of capital.  The $238,302 in distributions compared
favorably to the $278,808 in cash generated from property operations (net income
plus depreciation expense).  On February 3, 1997, May 9, 1997 and August 5, 1997
the Partnership made distributions of $9.20,  $9.20 and $10.20 to units  holders
of  record  as  of  December  31,  1996,  March  31,  1997  and  June  30,  1997
respectively.  Distributions are determined by management based on cash flow and
the liquidity  position of  the Partnership  and  anticipated occupancy  of  the
properties.

As  of  September  30,   1997  management  has   decided  to  make   semi-annual
distributions  of  cash,  (instead   of  quarterly  distributions)  subject   to
maintenance of reasonable  reserves.  The  semi-annual distributions will  begin
with the record date of December  31, 1997, and will  be paid in early  February
1998.  The primary reason for  this change is to  reduce operating costs of  the
Partnership.

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 September 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 semi-annually
beginning on  the record  date of  December 31,  1997.   Such distributions  are
subject to payment of Partnership expenses and reasonable reserves for expenses,
maintenance, and replacements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 the Partnership paid the General
Partner a partnership management fee of $23,830 and distributed $214,472 to  the
limited partners  of  which  $84,071  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  -  NINE  MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30,  1997 VS.  NINE  MONTHS  ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

Cash resources decreased $16,584 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared to  a $12,096  increase in  cash resources  for the  nine months  ended
September 30, 1996.  During the  nine months ended September 30, 1997,  $275,280
in cash was provided by operating activities.  This resulted primarily from  net
cash basis  income of  $277,983 from  operations (net  income plus  depreciation
expense) plus  a $12,998  increase  in accounts  payable,  offset by  a  $18,126
increase in other assets (primarily due to an increase in a property tax impound
account) and a $3,282 decrease in security deposits and prepaid rents (due to  a
decrease in tenants prepaying subsequent months rent).  In contrast, 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. The
sole use of cash in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 was $20,980 expended for tenant  improvements to an existing tenant at  the
Shaw Villa Shopping Center.  In contrast,   the nine months ended September  30,
1996 did not have any investing activities.  For the nine months ended September
30, 1997,  financing  activities used  $270,884  via distributions  to  limited,
general and minority interest partners totaling $250,150 and repayments on notes
payable of $20,734.   In  contrast, the nine  months ended  September 30,  1996,
financing activities used an additional $202,466 via distributions to these same
parties totaling $195,308 and repayments on notes payable of $7,158.

PENDING TRANSACTIONS

The two office buildings located in Encinitas, California (179 and 187 Calle
Magdalena), and the Shaw Villa Shopping Center located in Clovis, California
will attempted to be sold, and the net proceeds from such sales will be
distributed to the limited partners and General Partner in accordance with the
terms of the Partnership Agreement.  The cost basis of these properties are:

          179 Calle Magdalena            $ 705,918
          187 Calle Magdalena              853,560
          Shaw Villa Shopping Center     2,854,221

                        ASSOCIATED PLANNERS REALTY FUND
                       (A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

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

  The amounts for the Calle Magdalena property represent the 81.2% interest that
the Partnership owns as part of a joint venture with an affiliate (the affiliate
will be selling its interest as well).  There is no debt on the Encinitas
properties, and the Shaw Villa is encumbered by an assumable loan that will have
a balance of $1,477,048 as of September 30, 1997.

At this time, the General Partner feels that the sale of these properties will
be consummated sometime between January and September 1998.  Although the
General Partner intends upon aggressively marketing the properties for sale,
there is no guarantee that a sale will actually take place, within the time
frame mentioned above, and at a sales price acceptable to the Partnership.


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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operations for  the nine  months ended  September 30,  1997, reflect  an  entire
period of operations for the Partnership's  properties.  Rental revenue for  the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased from that for the three
and nine months ended  September 30, 1996 by  $3,445 and $49,541,  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 $370  (5%)  during the  nine  months  ended September  30,  1997  when
compared to the nine months ended September 30,  1996.  This increase is due  to
larger amounts of cash held in interest bearing accounts during the nine  months
ended September 30, 1997 as opposed to September 30, 1996.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)

The Partnership generated $277,983 in income from operations before depreciation
of $123,752 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $216,024 in
income from operations before depreciation of $95,526 for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1996  Depreciation expense  increased $28,226 for the nine  months
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to September 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 $23,464 for  the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended September
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.

Operating expenses decreased  $31,027 (22%)  as a  result of  lower repairs  and
maintenance costs for the nine months  ended September 30, 1997 compared to  the
nine months  ended September  30, 1996.    General and  administrative  expenses
increased $10,069 (24%)  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 nine  months ended September  30, 1997,  the Partnership  distributed
$214,472 to the limited partners and $23,830 to the general partner, as  opposed
to the nine  months ended September  30, 1996 when  the Partnership  distributed
$175,777 to the  limited partners  and $19,531 to  the general  partners.   Cash
basis income for the nine  months ended September 30,  1997 was $277,983.   This
was derived by adding  depreciation and amortization to  net income.  Thus  cash
distributions during the  nine months ended  September 30,  1997 were  ($39,681)
less than cash basis income.  In contrast, distributions during the nine  months
ended September 30, 1996 were ($20,716) less than cash basis income.

Net income per limited  partner unit increased from  $13.32 for the nine  months
ended September 30, 1996 to $17.03 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
primarily due to the increase in rental income  as a result of the expansion  of
the Shaw Villa Shopping Center.
