Part 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements.
The unaudited financial statements for the Registrant for the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1999, are attached hereto and made a part
hereof.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
During the past quarter and in the future, Registrant, did and will, pursuant
to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, engage in the business of
speculative trading of the commodity futures and options markets through the
services of its commodity trading advisors.
The General Partner reopened the offering of limited partnership interests in
the Partnership ("Units") pursuant to Post Effective Amendments to its Form S-
1 registration statement effective June 1, 1999. The Units are sold at the
Net Asset Value per Unit as of the end of the month in which subscriptions are
received by the General Partner. During the quarter $25,000 in Units were
sold. The Partnership continues to offer Units for sale to the public.
During the first two months of the past quarter, Bell Fundamental Futures, LLC
("Bell") served as the sole commodity trading advisor (trading manager) to the
Registrant. On June 30, the General Partner allocated $300,000 to Hanseatic
Corporation ("Hanseatic") as an additional commodity trading advisor (trading
manager) for the Registrant. The General Partner intends to continue to
allocate proceeds from current sales to Hanseatic until a total of $600,000 of
trading equity is under management by Hanseatic. Thereafter, trading equity
from new sales will be distributed among Bell and Hanseatic, equally.
To obtain a return of invested capital or appreciation, if any, purchasers of
Units must look solely to the redemption feature of the Partnership or for the
General Partner, in its sole judgment, to elect to make distributions. There
is no current market for the Units sold and none is expected to develop nor is
the General Partner expected to make distributions.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fremont Fund, Limited Partnership (the Fund) was formed January 12,
1995. The Fund is engaged in speculative trading of futures contracts in
commodities. Pacult Asset Management, Inc. is the General Partner and the
commodity pool operator (CPO) of Fremont Fund, Limited Partnership. The
commodity trading advisors (CTAs) are Bell Fundamental Futures, LLC and
Hanseatic Corporation. The General Partner has the sole authority to allocate
Fund assets to the CTAs to trade.
Income Taxes - In accordance with the generally accepted method of
presenting partnership financial statements, the financial statements do not
include the assets and liabilities allocated to the partners, including their
obligation for income taxes on their distributive shares of the net income of
the Fund or their rights to refunds on its net loss.
Organizational Costs - Organizational costs are capitalized and
amortized over twenty-four months on a straight line method starting when
operations began, payable from profits or capital subject to a 2% annual
capital limitation. All organizational costs paid to date have been
capitalized. Amortization expense of $915 was recorded for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
Registration Costs - Costs incurred for the initial registration with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., Commodity Futures Trading Commission, National Futures
Association (the "NFA") and the states where the offering was made were
accumulated, deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of offering at
the initial closing. Recurring registration costs, if any, will be charged to
expense as incurred.
Revenue Recognition - Commodity futures contracts are recorded on the
trade date and are reflected in the accompanying Balance Sheet at the
difference between the original contract amount and the market value on the
last business day of the reporting period.
Market value of commodity futures contracts is based upon exchange
closing quotations.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
2. GENERAL PARTNER DUTIES
The responsibilities of the General Partner, in addition to directing
the trading and investment activity of the Fund, include 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.
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.

3. THE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT - CONTINUED
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.
Allocation of Profit and Loss for Federal Income Tax Purposes -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 of the General Partner and the Commodity Trading
Advisors and each Partner's share of such items are includable in the
Partner's personal income tax return.
Redemption - No partner may redeem or liquidate any Units until six
months after the commencement of trading. A Limited Partner may withdraw any
part or all of his units from the Partnership at the Net Asset Value per Unit
as of the last day of any month on ten days prior written notice to the
General Partner. A redemption fee payable to the Partnership of a percentage
of the value of the redemption request bears the following schedule. This fee
is to be applied first to pay organization and initial registration costs of
the Partnership and, thereafter, to the benefit of the other Partners in
proportion to their capital accounts.
* 4% if such request is received prior to the end of the sixth
month after the commencement of trading.
* 3% if such request is received during the seventh to twelfth
months.
* 2% if such request is received during the thirteenth to
eighteenth months.
* 1% if such request is received during the nineteenth to twenty-
fourth months.
* 0% thereafter.

no incentive fees will be paid and all losses will be carried over to the
following months until profits from trading exceed the loss.
* The Fund will pay fixed commissions of 12% (annual rate) of net
assets, payable monthly, to the Introducing Broker affiliated with the General
Partner. The Affiliated Introducing Broker will pay the costs to clear the
trades to the futures commission merchant and all PIT Brokerage costs which
shall include the NFA and exchange fees.

Certain trades executed by the Fund are denominated in foreign
currencies. Gains and losses on these transactions are recorded as futures

is settled. Exchange rate fluctuation gain or loss is reflected when residual
amounts of foreign currencies are reconverted to U. S. dollars.

futures contracts in commodities. The carrying amounts of the Fund's
