Item 1. Business
On September 12, 2005, the registration statement filed by Providence Select Fund, Limited Partnership, (the "Fund") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which incorporated the disclosure document filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"), was declared effective. The Fund initially sold the Units of partnership interests at the initial price of $1,000 per Unit. On March 2, 2007, the Fund commenced business after admission of 46 limited partners, with total subscriptions of $1,088,370. Subsequently, Units are sold at the net asset value per Unit as of the then current month end. The Fund maintains separate Unit values for subscription and redemption purposes, and for financial reporting purposes. The Fund will continue to offer the unsold balance of its Units which, as of December 31, 2007, was $46,401,640 for sale to the public via its fully amended and restated prospectus dated October 11, 2007 (the "Prospectus"), as it may be amended in the future, until it has sold the total of $50,000,000 in registered securities or the offering terminates as permitted or required by the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Fund is engaged in the business of speculative and high risk trade of commodity futures and options selected by of one or more commodity trading advisors ("CTA") as that term is defined in the Commodity Exchange Act. The General Partner, in its sole discretion it selects the CTA and the amount of equity assigned to the CTAs, from time to time.
The Fund filed post effective amendments to its registration statement on July 18, 2007 and October 1, 2007, which became effective October 11, 2007, to fully amend and restate its prospectus to (i) provide disclosure of a change in the location of the books and records of the Fund to the office of the corporate General Partner, and (ii) update the performance and financial information contained in the prospectus.
The trades for the Fund are selected and placed with the futures commission merchant ("FCM"), i.e., clearing broker, for the account of the Fund by the currently selected sole commodity trading advisor ("CTA"), NuWave Investment Corp., 1099 Mt Kemble Ave, Morristown NJ 07960. The books and records of the trades placed by the CTA in the Fund's trading account are kept and available for inspection by the Limited Partners at the office of the corporate General Partner, 5914 N. 300 West, Fremont, IN 46737. NuWave was initially paid a management fee of up to 2.5% of the equity assigned to it to trade plus an incentive fee of twenty percent (20%) of New Net Profit earned from the trades on the equity, payable quarterly. By Notice to Limited Partners dated August 13, 2007, the Fund gave notice that, effective September 1, 2007, the management fee to NuWave Investment Corp. would be increased from up to 2.5% annually to up to 3.25% annually based on the rate of trading assigned by NuWave and approved by the General Partner. The Fund Limited Partnership Agreement is included as Exhibit A to the Prospectus delivered to the prospective investors and filed as part of the Registration Statement. The Limited Partnership Agreement defines the terms of operation of the Fund and is incorporated herein by reference.
None of the purchasers of Limited Partnership Units has a voice in the management of the Fund. Reports of the Net Asset Value of the Fund are sent to all Partners at the end of each month.
White Oak Financial Services, Inc., the corporate General Partner and commodity pool operator, provides all clearing costs, including pit brokerage fees, which include floor brokerage, NFA and exchange fees for trades for a one half percent (1/2%) of the total value of the funds available for trading in the Fund's accounts at the FCM per month [six percent (6%) per year]. Initially, White Oak also received an incentive fee of up to three percent (3%) of New Net Profit as that term is defined in the prospectus on equity assigned to the CTA, which was subsequently changed as of September 1, 2007 to up to 0.5%. The independent FCM is selected by the General Partner to hold the Fund's trading equity and place the trades as directed by the CTA pursuant to a power of attorney and advisory agreement granted by the Fund. See Subsequent Events in this section, below. The CTA agreements are terminable at the will of the parties. The Selling Agents receive a three percent (3%) continuing service fee of the initial investment the first year. Each month thereafter, for so long as the investment remains in the Fund, the Fund pays this fee at one quarter percent (1/4%) based on the net asset value of the investment.
The sale of Units is regulated by Securities Act of 1933 and the Commodity Exchange Act. Once the Units are issued, the operation of the Fund is subject to regulation pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Commodity Exchange Act. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Securities Commissions and securities acts of the several States where its Units are offered and sold have jurisdiction over the operation of the Fund. The National Futures Association has jurisdiction over the operation of the General Partner and the Commodity Trading Advisors. This regulatory structure is not intended, nor does it, protect investors from the risks inherent in the trading of futures and options.
Subsequent Events
The Fund provided notice to its Limited Partners by letter dated March 19, 2008 that (i) as of April 1, 2008, the Fund will have the right to diversify its cash equity for trading from being solely on deposit with clearing brokers to deposits at the brokers as well as in the name of the Fund outside of the clearing brokers in short term Treasury Bills and/or cash management funds holding only U.S. Treasuries, (ii) as of April 1, 2008, brokerage commissions that are currently charged as a percentage of assets on deposit with the clearing broker will be charged upon the assets intended to be used as equity for trading regardless of where they are deposited and what short-term investment is utilized, (iii) all other terms of the Fund's prospectus remain the same, and (iv) the above changes in investment procedures will not increase the costs charged to the Fund.
Item 1A.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The trading of futures, options on futures and other commodities related investments is highly speculative and risky. You should make an investment in the Fund only after consulting with independent, qualified sources of investment and tax advice and only if your financial condition will permit you to bear the risk of a total loss of your investment. You should consider an investment in the Units only as a long-term investment. Moreover, to evaluate the risks of this investment properly, you must familiarize yourself with the relevant terms and concepts relating to commodities trading and the regulation of commodities trading, which are discussed in the Risk Factors section of the Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.
You should carefully consider all the information we have included or incorporated by reference in this Report and our subsequent periodic filings with the SEC. In particular, you should carefully consider the risk factors described above and read the risks and uncertainties as set forth in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" Section of this Report. Any of the heretofore mentioned risks and uncertainties could materially adversely affect the Fund, its trading activities, operating results, financial condition and Net Asset Value and therefore could negatively impact the value of your investment. You should not invest in the Units unless you can afford to lose all of your investment.

Item 2.
Item 2. Properties
Registrant maintains up to 3% of its assets at a commercial bank and the balance is on deposit and available as margin to secure trading in futures and other commodities related products in a Fund account at MF Global Inc., the FCM selected by the General Partner. See Subsequent Events of Item 1 of this Report. Any FCM selected by the General Partner must be registered with the National Futures Association pursuant to the Federal Commodity Exchange Act as a commodity FCM. The trading of futures, options on futures and other commodities is highly speculative and the Fund has an unlimited risk of loss, including the pledge of all of its assets to the FCM to secure the losses on the trades made on its behalf by the CTA in the commodity markets.
Item 3.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There have been no legal proceedings against the Fund, its General Partner, the CTA, the IB or any of their Affiliates, directors or officers. The FCM, MF Global Inc., has had the following described reportable events, none of which, in the opinion of the FCM, is material to the performance of the FCM on behalf of the Fund's account:
MF Global Inc. ("MFG") is registered under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, as a futures commission merchant and a commodity pool operator, and is a member of the National Futures Association in such capacities. In addition, MFG is registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority as a broker-dealer. MFG was formerly known as Man Financial Inc. ("MFI") until the change of name to MFG was effected on July 19, 2007. MFG is a member of all major U.S. futures exchanges and most major U.S. securities exchanges. MFG's main office is located at 717 Fifth Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, New York 10022-8101. MFG's telephone number at such location is (212) 589-6200.
At any given time, MFG is involved in numerous legal actions and administrative proceedings, which in the aggregate, are not, as of March 20, 2008, expected to have a material effect upon its condition, financial or otherwise, or to the services it will render to the Partnership. There have been no administrative, civil or criminal proceedings pending, on appeal or concluded against MFG or its principals within the five years preceding the date of this Memorandum that MFI would deem material for purposes of Part 4 of the Regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, except as follows:
In May, 2006, MFI was sued by the Receiver for Philadelphia Alternate Asset Fund ("PAAF") and associated entities for common law negligence, common law fraud, violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and RICO violations (the "Litigation"). In December, 2007, without admitting any liability of any party to the Litigation to any other party to the Litigation, the Litigation was settled with MFI agreeing to pay $69 million, plus $6 million of legal expenses, to the Receiver, in exchange for releases from all applicable parties and the dismissal of the Litigation with prejudice. In a related action, MFI settled a CFTC administrative proceeding (In the Matter of MF Global, f/k/a Man Financial Inc., and Thomas Gilmartin) brought by the CFTC against MFI and one of its employees for failure to supervise and recordkeeping violations. Without admitting or denying the allegations, MFI agreed to pay a civil monetary penalty of $2 million and accepted a cease and desist order. MFI has informed the General Partner, the Trading Advisor and the Placement Agent that the settlements referenced above will not materially affect MFG or its ability to perform as a clearing broker.
On February 20, 2007, MFI also settled a CFTC administrative proceeding (In the Matter of Steven M. Camp and Man Financial Inc., CFTC Docket No. 07-04) in which MFI was alleged to have failed to supervise one of its former associated persons (AP) who was charged with fraudulently soliciting customers to open accounts at MFI. The CFTC alleged that the former AP misrepresented the profitability of a web-based trading system and of a purported trading system to be traded by a commodity trading advisor. Without admitting or denying the allegation, MFI agreed to pay restitution to customers amounting to $196,900.44 and a civil monetary penalty of $120,000. MFI also agreed to a cease and desist order and to strengthen its supervisory system for overseeing sales solicitations by employees in connection with accounts to be traded under letters of direction in favor of third party system providers.
The Fund is not aware of any threatened or potential claims or legal proceedings to which the Fund is a party or to which any of its assets are subject.
Subsequent Events
On March 6, 2008, and thereafter, four virtually identical proposed class action securities suits were filed against MF Global Ltd., certain of its officers and directors, and Man Group plc. The complaints allege that the registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with MF Global Ltd.'s initial public offering in July 2007, were materially false and misleading to the extent that representations were made regarding the company's risk management policies, procedures and systems. The allegations are based upon the company's disclosure of $141.5 million in trading losses incurred in a single day by an associated person in his personal trading account, which losses the company was responsible to pay as an exchange clearing member.
Item 4.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders The General Partner makes all day to day decisions regarding the operation of the Fund. The Limited Partners have not exercised any right to vote their Units and there have been no matters which would cause the Fund to conduct a vote of the Limited Partners. The Limited Partners, (sic the Security Holders), have no right to participate in the management of the Fund. All of their voting rights, as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, are limited to the selection of the General Partner, amendments to the Limited Partnership Agreement, and other similar decisions.
PART II
Item 5.
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Limited Partnership Units, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Fund desires to be taxed as a partnership and not as a corporation. In furtherance of this objective, the Limited Partnership Agreement, subject to certain exceptions upon the death of a Limited Partner, requires a Limited Partner to obtain the approval of the General Partner prior to the transfer of any Units. Accordingly, there is no trading market for the Fund Units and none is likely to develop. The Limited Partners must rely upon the right of Redemption provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement to liquidate their interest.
The Fund has fewer than 300 holders of its securities. Limited Partners are required to represent to the issuer that they are able to understand and accept the risks of investment in a commodity pool for which no market will develop and the right of redemption will be the sole expected method of withdrawal of equity from the Fund. The General Partner has sole discretion in determining what distributions, if any, the Fund will make to the Limited Partners. The Fund has not made any distributions as of the date hereof. The Fund has no securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans. See the Limited Partnership Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Registration Statement, incorporated herein by reference, for a complete explanation of the right of redemption provided to Limited Partners.
Item 6.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data The Fund is not required to pay dividends or otherwise make distributions and none are expected. The Limited Partners must rely upon their right of redemption to obtain their return of equity after consideration of profits, if any, and losses from the Fund. See the Registration Statement, incorporated herein by reference, for a complete explanation of the allocation of profits and losses to a Limited Partner's capital account.
Following is a summary of certain financial information for the Registrant for the period from inception to December 31, 2007.
The following summarized quarterly financial information presents the results of operations for the quarterly periods during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Item 7.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Fund records all investments at market value in its financial statements, with changes in market value reported as a component of realized and change in unrealized trading gain (loss) in the Statements of Operations. In certain circumstances, estimates are involved in determining market value in the absence of an active market closing price (e.g. swap and forward contracts which are traded in the inter-bank market).
Capital Resources
The Fund will raise additional capital only through the sale of Units offered pursuant to the continuing offering, and does not intend to raise any capital through resale of Units once issued or borrowing. Due to the nature of the Fund's business, it will make no capital expenditures and will have no capital assets which are not operating capital or assets.
Liquidity
Most United States commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in commodity futures contracts prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price fluctuation limits" or "daily limits". During a single trading day, no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a futures contract has reached the daily limit for that day, positions in that contract can neither be taken nor liquidated. Commodity futures prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Similar occurrences could prevent the Fund from promptly liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the Fund to substantial losses which could exceed the margin initially committed to such trades. In addition, even if commodity futures prices have not moved the daily limit, the Fund may not be able to execute futures trades at favorable prices, if little trading in such contracts is taking place. Other than these limitations on liquidity, which are inherent in the Fund's commodity futures trading operations, the Fund's assets are expected to be highly liquid.
The entire offering proceeds will be credited to the Fund's bank and brokerage accounts to engage in trading activities and as reserves for that trading. The Fund meets its margin requirements by depositing U.S. government securities or cash or both with the futures broker and the over-the-counter counterparties. In this way, substantially all (i.e., 97% or more) of the Fund's assets, whether used as margin for trading purposes or as reserves for such trading, can be invested in U.S. government securities and time deposits with U.S. banks. Investors should note that maintenance of the Fund's assets in U.S. government securities and banks does not reduce the risk of loss from trading futures, forward and swap contracts. The Fund receives all interest earned on its assets. No other person shall receive any interest or other economic benefits from the deposit of Fund assets.
Approximately 10% to 40% of the Fund's assets normally are committed as required margin for futures contracts and held by the futures broker, although the amount committed may vary significantly. Such assets are maintained in the form of cash or U.S. Treasury bills in segregated accounts with the futures broker pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and regulations thereunder. When combined with the previously described assets committed to margin, a total of up to approximately 40% of the Fund's assets may be deposited with over-the- counter counterparties in order to initiate and maintain forward and swap contracts. Such assets are not held in segregation or otherwise regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act, unless such over-the-counter counterparty is registered as a futures commission merchant. These assets are held either in U.S. government securities or short-term time deposits with U.S.-regulated bank affiliates of the over-the-counter counterparties. The remaining 60% to 90% of the Fund's assets are normally invested in cash equivalents, such as U.S. Treasury bills, and held by the futures broker or the over-the-counter counterparties.
The Fund's assets are not and will not be, directly or indirectly, commingled with the property of any other person in violation of law or invested with or loaned to the Fund, the General Partner or any affiliated entities.
Results of Operations
The initial start-up costs attendant to the sale of Units by use of a Prospectus which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission are substantial. The Fund's results after payment and accrual of expenses for the year 2007, for financial reporting purposes, was a profit (loss) of $(232,548) [$(121.72) per Unit], and for all other purposes, including subscriptions and redemptions, was a profit (loss) of $(223,725) [$(97.06) per Unit]. The Fund's results after payment and accrual of expenses for the year 2006, for financial reporting purposes, was a profit (loss) of $139,528 [$69,764 per Unit], and for all other purposes, including subscriptions and redemptions, was a profit (loss) of $0 [$0 per Unit]. The Fund is subject to ongoing offering and operating expenses; however, profits or losses are primarily generated by the commodity trading advisor by methods that are proprietary to it. These results are not to be construed as an expectation of similar profits in the future.
The Limited Partnership Agreement grants solely to the General Partner the right to select the CTA and to otherwise manage the operation of the Fund. See the Registration Statement, incorporated by reference herein, for an explanation of the operation of the Fund.
Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The term "off-balance sheet risk" refers to an unrecorded potential liability that, even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in future obligation or loss. The Fund trades in futures, forward and swap contracts and is therefore a party to financial instruments with elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. In entering into these contracts there exists a risk to the Fund, market risk, that such contracts may be significantly influenced by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all of the futures interests positions of the Fund at the same time, and if the Fund's trading advisor was unable to offset futures interests positions of the Fund, the Fund could lose all of its assets and the Limited Partners would realize a 100% loss. The Fund, the General Partner and the CTAs minimize market risk through real-time monitoring of open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a margin-to-equity ratio that rarely exceeds 40%.
In addition to market risk, in entering into futures, forward and swap contracts there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to the Fund. The counterparty for futures contracts traded in the United States and on most foreign exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of their members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members, like some foreign exchanges, it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions.
In the case of forward and swap contracts, which are traded on the interbank market rather than on exchanges, the counterparty is generally a single bank or other financial institution, rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The CTAs trade for the Fund only with those counterparties which they believe to be creditworthy. All positions of the Fund are valued each day on a mark-to-market basis. There can be no assurance that any clearing member, clearinghouse or other counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to the Fund.
Item 7A.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The securities of the Fund are not traded and no market for the Fund securities is expected to develop. The Fund is engaged in the speculative trading of futures and options on futures. The risks are fully explained in the Fund prospectus delivered to each prospective Limited Partner prior to their investment.
Item 8.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The Fund financial statements as of December 31, 2007, were audited by Jordan, Patke & Associates, Ltd., 300 Village Green Drive Ste 210, Lincolnshire, IL 60069 and are provided in this Report beginning on page. The supplementary financial information specified by Item 302 of Regulation S-K is included in Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
Item 9.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. None.
Item 9A(T).
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures. Disclosure 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.
The General Partner of the Fund, under the actions of its sole principal, Michael Pacult, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) with respect to the Fund as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on their evaluation, Mr. Pacult has concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the General Partner to evaluate annually the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting in all annual reports. There were no changes in the General Partner's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting applicable to the Fund.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The General Partner is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Fund's financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company's board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The General Partner's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
*	pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Fund's assets;
*	provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the Fund's financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Fund's receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the General Partner's management and directors; and
*	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Fund's assets that could have a material effect on the Fund's financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Fund securities are not publicly traded so that there can be no insider trading or leaks of confidential information to the public. All Fund money is on deposit either with a bank or a futures commission merchant. See Subsequent Events in Item 1 of this Report. There is an audit trail produced by both. A certified public accountant prepares the monthly financial statements. The Fund units are sold during the month at a net asset value to be determined as of the close of business on the last day of trading each month. No information related to the value of the units during the month is available to the Fund sales force or the prospects. All quarterly financial statements are reviewed by an independent certified public accountant who audits the Fund financial statements at the end of each calendar year. The Fund maintains its subscription agreements and other records for six years.
The management of the General Partner assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting with respect to the Fund as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, the General Partner's internal control over financial reporting with respect to the Fund is effective based on those criteria.
This Report does not include an attestation report of the Fund's registered public accounting regarding control over financial reporting. The General Partner's report was not subject to attestation by the Fund's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Part III
Item 10.
Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers and Corporate Governance The Fund is a Delaware Limited Partnership which acts through its corporate General Partner. Accordingly, the Registrant has no Directors or Executive Officers.
The General Partners of the Registrant during the year 2007 were White Oak Financial Services, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, and Michael P. Pacult. The General Partners are both registered with the National Futures Association as commodity pool operators pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act, and Mr. Michael Pacult, age 63, is the sole shareholder, director, registered principal and executive officer of the corporate General Partner. The background and qualifications of Mr. Pacult are disclosed in the Registration Statement, incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Pacult is also a registered representative with Futures Investment Company, the affiliated broker dealer which conducts the "best efforts" offering of the Units.
There has never been a material administrative, civil or criminal action brought against the Fund, the General Partner or any of its directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons.
No Forms 3, 4, or 5 have been furnished to the Registrant since inception. To the best of the Fund's knowledge, no such forms have been or are required to be filed.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Mr. Pacult, in his capacity as the sole principal for the General Partner of the Fund, has determined that he qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. He is not independent of management.
Code of Ethics
The Fund General Partner is registered with the National Futures Association as a Commodity Pool Operator and its President, Michael P. Pacult is registered as its principal. Both the Fund and the General Partner are subject to Federal Commodity Exchange Act and audit for compliance and the rules of good practice of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the industry self regulatory organization, the National Futures Association. Having said that, neither the Commodity Futures Trading Commission nor the National Futures Association are responsible for the quality of the Fund disclosures or its operation, those functions are exclusively the responsibility of the Fund and its General Partner.
Item 11.
Item 11. Executive Compensation. Although there are no executives of the Fund, the corporate General Partner and certain persons Affiliated with the General Partners are paid compensation that the Fund has elected to disclose on this Report. As described previously, upon opening of the Fund, the General Partner will be paid fixed brokerage commissions of six percent (6%) per year, payable monthly, to cover the cost of the trades entered by the CTA. The corporate General Partner retains the difference, if any, between the cost to enter the trades and the six percent (6%). As of September 1, 2007, it is also paid an incentive fee of up to one half percent (0.5%) on New Net Profits.
Item 12.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
(a) The following Limited Partners owned more than five percent (5%) of the total equity of the Fund on December 31, 2007:
	Name			Percent Ownership 	None			N/A
(b) As of December 31, 2007, the corporate General Partner owned 35.36 Units of Limited Partnership Interest, which constituted 1.0% ownership in the Fund.
(c) The Limited Partnership Agreement governs the terms upon which control of the Fund may change. No change in ownership of the Units will, alone, determine the location of control. The Limited Partners must have 120 days advance notice and the opportunity to redeem prior to any change in the control from the General Partner to another general partner. Control of the management of the Partnership may never vest in one or more Limited Partners.
Item 13.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
See Item 11, Executive Compensation and Item 12, Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters. The General Partner has sole discretion over the selection of trading advisors. White Oak Financial Services, Inc., the corporate General Partner, is paid a fixed commission for trades and, therefore, the General Partner has a potential conflict in the selection of a CTA that makes few trades rather than produces profits for the Fund. This conflict and others are fully disclosed in the Registration Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 14.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(1)	Audit Fees
The fees and costs paid to Frank L. Sassetti & Co. for the audit of the Fund's annual financial statements, for review of financial statements included in the Fund's Forms 10-Q and other services normally provided in connection with regulatory filing or engagements (i.e., consents related to SEC registration statements) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $0 and $9,845, respectively. Similar fees paid to Jordan, Patke and Associates, Ltd. for the same time periods were $15,878, and $1,490, respectively.
(2)	Audit Related Fees
None
(3)	Tax Fees
The aggregate fees paid to Frank L. Sassetti & Co. for tax compliance services for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $0 and $0, respectively. Similar fees paid to Jordan, Patke and Associates, Ltd. for the same time periods were $475, and $0, respectively.
(4)	All Other Fees
None
(5)	The Board of Directors of White Oak Financial Services, Inc., General Partner of the Fund, approved all of the services described above. The Board of Directors has determined that the payments made to its independent certified public accountants for these services are compatible with maintaining such auditors' independence. The Board of Directors explicitly pre-approves all audit and non-audit services and all engagement fees and terms.
(6)	Close to 100% of the hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time permanent employees. However, all work performed was supervised by a full-time permanent employee.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Partners of Providence Select Fund, Limited Partnership Dover, Delaware
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Providence Select Fund, Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for each of the three years in the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Providence Select Fund, Limited Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Providence Select Fund, Limited Partnership internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Providence Select Fund, Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations, its changes in net assets and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
1.	Nature of the Business
Providence Select Fund, Limited Partnership (the Fund) was formed on May 16, 2003 under the Delaware Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Fund is engaged in high risk, speculative and hedge trading of futures and forward contracts, options on futures and forward contracts, and other instruments selected by registered commodity trading advisors (CTA's). On March 2, 2007, the Fund commenced business after admission of 46 limited partners, with total subscriptions of $1,088,370. 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 CTA is NuWave Investment Corp., which has 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 (FIC), which is controlled by Michael Pacult and his wife.
The Partnership was in the development stage prior to March 2, 2007 and its efforts until then were principally devoted to organizational activities.
2.	Significant Accounting Polices
Regulation - The Fund is a registrant (effective September 12, 2005) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act). The Fund is subject to the regulations of the SEC and the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Fund is also be 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 will be subject to the requirements of futures commission merchants and interbank market makers through which the Fund trades.
Offering Costs and Organizational Expenses - For financial reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), on the Fund's initial effective date, September 12, 2005, the Fund deducted from Limited Partners' capital the total initial offering costs of $79,876 as of that date and began expensing all subsequent offering costs. Organizational and operating costs are expensed as incurred for GAAP purposes. For all other purposes, including determining the Net Asset Value per Unit for subscription and redemption purposes, the Fund will capitalize all offering and organizational costs until after the twelfth month following the commencement of business, at which time the costs will be amortized. The commencement of business was contingent upon the sale of at least $1,030,000 of partnership interests. The Fund has agreed to reimburse White Oak and other affiliated companies for all expenses incurred up to the commencement of business, which was March 2, 2007, after the twelfth month following the commencement of business. These reimbursement amounts have accumulated to $273,745 as of December 31, 2007 and $256,746 as of December 31, 2006, respectively. Consequently, as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Net Asset Value and Net Asset Value per Unit for financial reporting purposes and for all other purposes are as follows:
Registration Costs - Costs incurred for the initial filings with Securities and Exchange Commission, National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the states where the offering is expected to be made are included in the offering expenses and, accordingly, are accounted for as described above under "Offering Costs and Organizational Expenses".

For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
2.	Significant Accounting Polices, 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.
Interest income is recognized when it is earned.
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 for the years ending December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Foreign Currency - Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 2005 and 2006 financial statements were reclassified to conform with 2007 presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) entitled "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB 109". FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. Adoption of FIN 48 was required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The implementation of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. While FAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, for some entities, the application of FAS 157 may change current practice. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The implementation of FAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund's financial statements.

3.	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 $34,050 in cash for deposit to the capital of the Fund for a General Partnership interest in the Partnership.
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.
4.	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 after the minimum to commence business has been raised and, thereafter, 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 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.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
5.	Fees
The Fund is charged the following fees:
Until September 1, 2007, a monthly management fee was paid to the CTA based on the rate of trading assigned by the CTA and approved by the General Partner of up to 2.5% (annual rate) of the Fund's net assets allocated to the CTA to trade. As of September 1, 2007, such management fee was increased to up to 3.25% annually.
The Fund pays the Corporate General Partner a fixed brokerage commission of 6%, from which the Corporate General Partner pays the round turn commissions to the futures commission merchant.
A quarterly incentive fee of 20% of "new trading profits" is paid to the CTA and, until September 1, 2007, up to a 3% quarterly incentive fee was paid to the Corporate General Partner. As of September 1, 2007, the quarterly incentive fee to the Corporate General Partner was reduced to up to 0.5%. "New trading profits" includes all income earned by the CTA and expense allocated to his activity. In the event that trading produces a loss for the 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 the CTA to be paid an incentive fee during a quarter or a year when the Fund experienced a loss.
The Fund pays the selling agents a 3% continuing service fee based on the initial investment the first year. Each year thereafter, for so long as the investment remains in the Fund, the Fund pays this fee at 1/4% monthly based on the net asset value of the investment.
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 and general partner to 6% of total net assets if the total incentive fees are decreased to 15%.
6.	Related Party Transactions
Michael Pacult, 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 and other affiliates, 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.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
8. Trading Activities and Related Risks
The Fund is engaged in speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures contracts in commodities. The Fund is exposed to both market risk, the risk arising from changes in market value of the contracts, and credit risk, the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.
A certain portion of cash in trading accounts are pledged as collateral for commodities trading on margin. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such broker's proprietary activities.
Each U.S. commodity exchange, with the approval of the CFTC and the futures commission merchant, establish minimum margin requirements for each traded contract. The futures commission merchant may increase the margin requirements above these minimums for any or all contracts. In general, the amount of required margin should never fall below 10% of the Net Asset Value. The cash deposited in trading accounts at December 31, 2007 was $3,264,919, which equals approximately 106.7% of Net Asset Value. Cash exceeded Net Asset Value because of accrued expenses and partner redemptions at December 31, 2007. Cash payments for these expenses are expected to be made prior to the end of the next quarter.
Trading in futures contracts involves entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell a particular commodity at a specified date and price. The gross or face amount of the contract, which is typically many times that of the Fund's net assets being traded, significantly exceeds the Fund's future cash requirements since the Fund intends to close out its open positions prior to settlement. As a result, the Fund is generally subject only to the risk of loss arising from the change in the value of the contracts. The market risk is limited to the gross or face amount of the contracts held of approximately $29,248,921 on long positions at December 31, 2007. However, when the Fund enters into a contractual commitment to sell commodities, it must make delivery of the underlying commodity at the contract price and then repurchase the contract at prevailing market prices or settle in cash. Since the repurchase price to which a commodity can rise is unlimited, entering into commitments to sell commodities exposes the Fund to unlimited potential risk.
Market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including government programs and policies, political and economic events, the level and volatility of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, the diversification effects among the derivative instruments the Fund holds and the liquidity and inherent volatility of the markets in which the Fund trades.
The net unrealized gains on open commodity futures contracts at December 31, 2007 were $48,797.
Open contracts generally mature within three months of December 31, 2007. The latest maturity for open futures contracts is in September 2008. However, the Fund intends to close all contracts prior to maturity.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counter party to perform according to the terms of a contract.
The Fund has a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with financial institutions. In the event of a financial institution's insolvency, recovery of Fund deposits may be limited to account insurance or other protection afforded deposits.
The Fund has established procedures to actively monitor market risk and minimize credit risk although there can be no assurance that it will succeed. The basic market risk control procedures consist of continuously monitoring open positions, diversification of the portfolio and maintenance of a desirable margin-to-equity ratio. The Fund seeks to minimize credit risk primarily by depositing and maintaining its assets at financial institutions and brokers which it believes to be creditworthy.

10. Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
A derivative financial instrument is a financial agreement whose value is linked to, or derived from, the performance of an underlying asset. The underlying asset can be currencies, commodities, interest rates, stocks, or any combination. Changes in the underlying asset indirectly affect the value of the derivative. As the instruments are recognized at fair value, those changes directly affect reported income.
All investment holdings are recorded in the statement of financial condition at their net asset value (fair value) at the reporting date. Financial instruments (including derivatives) used for trading purposes are recorded in the statement of financial condition at fair value at the reporting date. Realized and unrealized changes in fair values are recognized in net investment gain (loss) in the period in which the changes occur. Interest income arising from trading instruments is included in the statement of operations as part of interest income.
Notional amounts are equivalent to the aggregate face value of the derivative financial instruments. Notional amounts do not represent the amounts exchanged by the parties to derivatives and do not measure the Fund's exposure to credit or market risks. The amounts exchanged are based on the notional amounts and other terms of the derivatives.
11. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Credit and Market Risk
All financial instruments are subject to market risk, the risk that future changes in market conditions may make an instrument less valuable or more onerous. As the instruments are recognized at fair market value, those changes directly affect reported income.
Included in the definition of financial instruments are securities, restricted securities and derivative financial instruments. Theoretically, the investments owned by the Fund directly are exposed to a market risk (loss) equal to the notional value of the financial instruments purchased and substantial liability on certain financial instruments purchased short. Generally, financial instruments can be closed. However, if the market is not liquid, it could prevent the timely close-out of any unfavorable positions or require the Fund to hold those positions to maturity, regardless of the changes in their value or the trading advisor's investment strategies.
Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) that arise from financial instruments exist for groups of counterparties when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.
12. Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The Fund expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote.
