Part 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements.
The reviewed financial statements for the Registrant for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 are attached hereto and made a part hereof.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
General Information
The Registrant (the "Fund") was granted an effective date by the Securities
and Exchange Commission on September 12, 2005. However, the Fund has not yet
commenced business. At some time in the future, the Fund will, pursuant to
the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, engage in the business of
speculative and high risk trading of commodity futures and options markets
through the services of the commodity trading advisor its management has
selected.
The partnership filed a post effective amendment on November 2, 2005 that
went effective November 15, 2005 to change the trading advisor and offering
terms. Offers and solicitations have been made pursuant to that prospectus.
The Fund intends to sell the partnership interests in the face amount of
$50,000,000 that it has registered.
Events subsequent to June 30, 2006: On July 28, 2006, the Fund filed post
effective amendment no. 2 to its registration statement, which went effective
August 14, 2006, to update the financials and performance information in the
prospectus contained therein.
Description of Fund Business
The Fund grants one or more commodity trading advisors ("CTA") a power of
attorney that is terminable at the will of either party to trade the equity
assigned to each CTA by Fund management. NuWave Investment Corp. is the sole
commodity trading advisor of the Fund. The General Partner has reserved the
right to add and delete CTAs and reallocate equity assigned as it shall
determine, in its sole discretion, without prior notice to the partners
(investors). The CTA has sole discretion to select the trades and does not
disclose the methods it uses to make those determinations in its disclosure
documents or to the Fund or to Fund management. There is no promise or
expectation of a fixed or any other return to the investors. The investors
must look solely to trading profits for a return their investment as the
interest income is expected to be less than the fixed expenses to operate the
Fund.
Assets
The Fund assets will consist of cash used as margin to secure futures
(formerly called commodity) trades entered on its behalf by the commodity
trading advisors it selects. Upon sale of the minimum of $1,030,000, the
Fund will deposit its cash with one or more futures commission merchants
(brokers) who hold and allocate the cash to use as margin to secure the
trades made. The futures held in the Fund accounts are valued at the market
price on the close of business each day by the Futures Commission Merchant or
Merchants that hold the Fund equity made available for trading. The Capital
accounts of the Partners are immediately responsible for all profit and
losses incurred by trading and payment and accrual of the expenses of
offering partnership interests for sale and the operation of the partnership.
The fixed costs of operation are a management fee of 2% and incentive fee of
20% paid to the commodity trading advisor, an incentive fee of 3% paid to the
general partner, fixed annual brokerage commissions of 6%, an annual
continuing service fee of 3%, and accounting and legal fees that must be paid
before the limited partners may earn a profit on their investment.
The Fund does not intend to borrow from third parties. Its trades are
entered pursuant to a margin agreement with the futures commission merchant
which obligates the fund to the actual loss, if any, without reference or
limit by the amount of cash posted to secure the trade. The limited partners
are not personally liable for the debts of the Fund, including any trading
losses. The Registrant will in the future offer Units for sale to the public
until $50,000,000 in face amount of registered Units are sold. Units that
have been sold and redeemed will not be resold. Capital available will be
dependent upon the marketing and sales effort put in place by Fund management
to sell the registered limited partnership interests.
Value an Investment in the Fund Depends upon Redemption of Fund Units
The Fund Units are not traded and they have no market value. Liquidity of an
investment in the Fund depends upon the credit worthiness of the exchanges,
brokers, and third parties of off exchange traded futures that hold Fund
equity or have a lien against Fund assets for payment of debts incurred.
Those parties must honor their obligations to the Fund for the Fund to be
able to obtain the return of its cash from the futures commission merchant
that holds the Fund account.
The commodity trading advisor selects the markets and the off exchange
instruments to be traded. The General Partner selects the futures commission
merchants to hold the Fund assets. Both the commodity trading advisor and
the general partner believe all parties who hold Fund assets or are otherwise
obligated to pay value to the Fund are credit worthy. Margin is an amount to
secure the entry of a trade and is not a limit of the profit or loss to be
gained from the trade. The general partner intends to allocate approximately
97% of the Fund equity to be used as margin to enter trades. Although it is
customary for the commodity trading advisor to use 40% or less of the equity
available as margin, there is no limit imposed by the Fund upon the amount of
equity the advisors may commit to margin. It is possible for the Fund to
suffer losses in excess of the margin it posts to secure the trades made.
To have the purchase price or appreciation, if any, of the Units, paid to
them, partners must use the redemption feature of the Partnership.
Distributions, although possible in the sole discretion of the general
partner, are not expected to be made. There is no current market for the
Units sold, none is expected to develop and the partnership agreement limits
the ability of a partner to transfer the Units.
Results of Operations
The Fund has not yet sold the minimum amount of limited partnership interests
to commence business and, therefore, has no results of operations.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The business of the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk of
loss.
Controls and Procedures
The Registrant has adopted procedures in connection with the operation of its
business including, but not limited to, the review of account statements sent
to the general partner before the open of business each day that disclose the
positions held overnight in the Fund accounts, the margin to hold those
positions, and the amount of profit or loss on each position, and the net
balance of equity available in each account. The Fund brokerage account
statements and financial books and records accounts are prepared by an
independent CPA Firm and then are reviewed each quarter and audited each year
by a different independent CPA firm.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Each month, the general partner reviews the profit and loss statements for
the month and once approved each partner is sent a statement to disclose
total Fund performance and the amount in the partner's capital account.
Checks are paid for expenses only upon approval of invoices submitted to the
general partner or pursuant to standing authorizations for periodic fixed
expenses. Payment of a redemption is only upon receipt of a request form
signed by the person with authority over the partner's account. The general
partner balances the daily account information with the monthly compilation
and financial statements prepared by the independent CPA.

Providence Select Fund, Limited Partnership
Fremont, Indiana
We have reviewed the balance sheet of
PROVIDENCE SELECT FUND, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (a development stage enterprise)
as of June 30, 2006 and the related statements of operations for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the cumulative period from
May 16, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2006, the statement of partners'
equity from May 16, 2003 to June 30, 2006 and statement of cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the cumulative period from May
16, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2006. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less
in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review we are not aware of any
material modifications that should be made to the financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
We have previously audited, in accordance with
auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), the balance sheet of PROVIDENCE SELECT FUND, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP as
of December 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, partner's
equity and cash flows for the year and cumulative period then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated March 22, 2006, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on these financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31,
2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005
(A Review)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Providence Select Fund, Limited Partnership (the Fund) was formed on
May 16, 2003 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund expects to
engage in high risk, speculative and hedge trading of futures and forward
contracts, options on futures and forward contracts, and other instruments
selected by the commodity trading advisors (CTA's). However, the Fund will
not commence business until at least $1,030,000 worth of partnership
interests are sold. The maximum offering is $50,000,000. White Oak Financial
Services, Inc. (White Oak) and Michael Pacult are the General Partners and
commodity pool operators (CPO's) of the Fund. The initial CTA is expected to
be NuWave Investment Corp., which will have the authority to trade as much of
the Fund's equity as is allocated to it by the General Partner. The selling
agent is Futures Investment Company (Futures), which is controlled by Michael
Pacult and his wife.
The Partnership is in the development stage and its efforts through
June 30, 2006 have been principally devoted to organizational activities.
Regulation - The Fund is a registrant (effective September 12, 2005)
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act). The Fund is subject to the regulations of
the SEC and the reporting requirements of the Act. The Fund is also subject
to the regulations of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), an
agency of the U.S. government which regulates most aspects of the commodity
futures industry, the rules of the National Futures Association and the
requirements of various commodity exchanges where the Fund executes
transactions. Additionally, the Fund is subject to the requirements of
futures commission merchants and interbank market makers through which the
Fund trades.
Offering Expenses and Organizational Costs - White Oak has incurred
$151,764 and $104,719 in offering costs through June 30, 2006 and December
31, 2005, respectively. The Fund has agreed to reimburse White Oak for all
offering expenses incurred up to the end of the twelfth month of operations
after the twelfth month following the commencement of business. The
commencement of business is contingent upon the sale of at least $1,030,000
of partnership interests. All offering costs after the twelfth month of
operations will be paid directly by the Fund. The organization costs for the
Fund will be expensed as incurred by the general partner, White Oak, and are
expected to be immaterial.
Registration Costs - Costs incurred for the initial filings with
Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission,
National Futures Association (the "NFA") and the states where the offering is
expected to be made are accumulated, deferred and charged against the gross
proceeds of offering as part of the offering expenses to be reimbursed to the
General Partner after the twelfth month of operation following commencement
of business. Recurring registration costs, if any, will be charged to expense
as incurred.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005
(A Review)
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition - Forward contracts, futures and other investments
are recorded on the trade date and will be reflected in the statement of
operations at the difference between the original contract amount and the
market value on the last business day of the reporting period.
Market value of forward contracts, futures and other investments is
based upon exchange or other applicable closing quotations related to the
specific positions.
Use of Accounting 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 reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Income Taxes - The Fund is not required to provide a provision for
income taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed
directly to the individual partners. The Fund may be subject to state and
local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.
Statement of Cash Flows - For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows,
the Fund will consider only money market funds to be cash equivalents. Net
cash provided by operating activities includes no cash payments for interest
or income taxes through June 30, 2006. There were no cash equivalents at June
30, 2006 or December 31, 2005.
2. GENERAL PARTNER DUTIES
The responsibilities of the General Partner, in addition to directing
the trading and investment activity of the Fund, including suspending all
trading, includes executing and filing all necessary legal documents,
statements and certificates of the Fund, retaining independent public
accountants to audit the Fund, employing attorneys to represent the Fund,
reviewing the brokerage commission rates to determine reasonableness,
maintaining the tax status of the Fund as a limited partnership, maintaining
a current list of the names, addresses and numbers of units owned by each
Limited Partner and taking such other actions as deemed necessary or
desirable to manage the business of the Partnership.
The Corporate General Partner has contributed $1,000 in cash for
deposit to the capital of the Fund for a non-trading General Partnership
interest in the Partnership.

2. GENERAL PARTNER DUTIES (CONTINUED)
If the net unit value of the partnership falls to less than 50% of the
greater of the original $1,000 selling price, less commissions and other
charges or such higher value earned through trading, then the General
Partner will immediately suspend all trading, provide all limited partners
with notice of the reduction in net unit value and give all limited partners
the opportunity, for fifteen days after such notice, to redeem partnership
interests. No trading shall commence until after the lapse of such fifteen
day period.
3. THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
The Limited Partnership Agreement provides, among other things, that-
Capital Account - A capital account shall be established for each
partner. The initial balance of each partner's capital account shall be the
amount of the initial contributions to the partnership.
Monthly Allocations - Any increase or decrease in the Partnership's net
asset value as of the end of a month shall be credited or charged to the
capital account of each Partner in the ratio that the balance of each account
bears to the total balance of all accounts.
Any distribution from profits or partners' capital will be made solely
at the discretion of the General Partner.
Federal Income Tax Allocations - As of the end of each fiscal year, the
Partnership's realized capital gain or loss and ordinary income or loss shall
be allocated among the Partners, after having given effect to the fees and
expenses of the Fund.
Subscriptions - Investors must submit subscription agreements and funds
at least five business days prior to month end. Subscriptions must be
accepted or rejected by the general partner within five business days. The
investor also has five business days to withdraw his subscription. Funds are
deposited into an interest bearing subscription account and will be
transferred to the Fund's account on the first business day of the month
after the subscription is accepted. Interest earned on the subscription funds
will accrue to the account of the investor.
Redemptions - A limited partner may request any or all of his
investment be redeemed at the net asset value as of the end of a month.
Unless this requirement is waived, the written request must be received by
the general partner no less than ten business days prior to a month end.
Redemptions will generally be paid within twenty days of the effective month
end. However, in various circumstances due to liquidity, etc. the general
partner may be unable to comply with the request on a timely basis. There
will be a redemption fee commencing from the date of purchase of units of 3%
during the first four months, 2% during the second four months, 1% during the
third four months and no redemption fee after the twelfth month.

4. FEES
The Fund will be charged the following fees on a monthly basis as of
the commencement of trading.
A monthly management fee of 2% (annual rate) of the Fund's net assets
allocated to the CTA to trade will be paid to the CTA.
The Fund will pay the Corporate General Partner a fixed brokerage
commission of 6%, from which the Corporate General Partner will pay the
round turn commissions to the introducing broker and the futures commission
merchant for trades made on U.S. markets. Trades on foreign markets, if any,
will be charged to the Fund.
A quarterly incentive fee of 20% of "new trading profits" will be paid
to each CTA and a 3% quarterly incentive fee will be paid to the Corporate
General Partner. "New trading profits" includes all income earned by a CTA
and expense allocated to his activity. In the event that trading produces a
loss for a CTA, no incentive fees will be paid and all losses will be carried
over to the following months until profits from trading exceed the loss. It
is possible for one CTA to be paid an incentive fee during a quarter or a
year when the Fund experienced a loss.
After the Fund commences trading, the Fund will pay the selling agents
a 3% continuing service fee per year on the investment in the Fund.
The General Partner has reserved the right to change the management fee
and the incentive fee at its sole discretion. The total incentive fees may be
increased to 27% if the management fee is eliminated. The Fund may also
increase the management fees paid to the CTA's and general partner to 6% if
the total incentive fees are decreased to 15%.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The sole shareholder of White Oak has made an initial limited partner
capital contribution in the Fund of $1,000. He is also the sole shareholder
of Ashley Capital Management, Inc. (the general partner of another commodity
fund), which along with the shareholder has temporarily funded the
syndication costs incurred by the Fund to date. In Accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, a variable interest entity relationship exists
between White Oak and the Fund.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, identifies certain disclosures to be
made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under
certain guarantees that it has issued. In the normal course of business, the
Fund has provided general indemnifications to the General Partner, its CTA
and others when they act, in good faith, in the best interests of the Fund.
The Fund is unable to develop an estimate for future payments resulting from
hypothetical claims, but expects the risk of having to make any payments
under these indemnifications to be remote.
6. CONCENTRATIONS
The Fund will maintain all of its initial subscription deposits with a
commercial financial institution. In the event of the financial institution's
insolvency, recovery of Fund deposits may be limited to account insurance or
other protection afforded deposits by the institution.
