The offering price has been estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c). Our common stock is not traded and any national exchange and in accordance with Rule 457, the offering price was determined by the price shareholders were sold to our shareholders in a private placement memorandum. The price of $0.10 is a fixed price at which the selling security holders may sell their shares until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board at which time the shares may be sold at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.

EFFECTIVE PROFITABLE SOFTWARE, INC.
1,505,000 SHARES
COMMON STOCK
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange. The 1,505,000 shares of our common stock can be sold by selling security holders at a fixed price of $.10 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the shares for the selling security holders.
THE PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES OFFERED THROUGH THIS PROSPECTUS INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FACTORS DESCRIBED UNDER THE HEADING RISK FACTORS BEGINNING ON PAGE 2.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Our common stock will be penny stock; therefore, trading in our securities is subject to penny stock considerations. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.
The Date Of This Prospectus Is: June |

ABOUT OUR COMPANY
Modena 2, Inc. was incorporated on November 18, 2003, under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. We had been in the developmental stage since inception and have no operations to date other than issuing shares. On May 10, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange between us and EPS, Inc., an Arkansas corporation, and the shareholders of EPS, we purchased all of the outstanding shares of EPS for the issuance of 10,156,000 shares of our stock to the EPS shareholders. Pursuant to the Agreement, EPS became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition was approved by the unanimous consent of our Board of Directors on May 10, 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company filed Articles of Amendment with the State of Delaware changing its name to Effective Profitable Software, Inc.
Based on the acquisition of EPS we changed our business focus to become an evaluation software company which focuses on bringing affordable evaluation tools to the general public. We are based in Little Rock, Arkansas and are lead by Don Bratcher, Gary Moore and Richard Torti. We use in house proprietary software for evaluation of markets, stocks, commodities, and other financial instruments.
We have developed an innovative evaluation system we call the TimingWave. At the center of the system is a 100% mechanical, unemotional timing model that is both powerful and simple to use. The systems web-based access will make it both affordable and accessible and our evaluations are easily understood.
TERMS OF THE OFFERING
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. The selling stockholders are selling shares of common stock covered by this prospectus for their own account.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of these shares.

We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the shares for the selling security holders.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus and any other filings we may make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in the future before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. Please note that throughout this prospectus, the words we, our or us refer to us and not to the selling stockholders.
WE MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO ACHIEVE OUR CURRENT BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OUR INABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING WILL INHIBIT OUR ABILITY TO EXPAND OR EVEN MAINTAIN OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or sale of equity to achieve our current business strategy. The financing we need may not be available when needed. Even if this financing is available, it may be on terms that we deem unacceptable or are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. Our inability to obtain financing will inhibit our ability to implement our development strategy, and as a result, could require us to diminish or suspend our development strategy and possibly cease our operations.
If we are unable to obtain financing on reasonable terms, we could be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate certain product and service development programs. In addition, such inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms could have a negative effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition to such extent that we are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could put your investment dollars at significant risk.
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY THAT YOU CAN USE TO EVALUATE US AND THEREFORE WE MAY NOT SURVIVE IF WE MEET SOME OF THE PROBLEMS, EXPENSES, DIFFICULTIES, COMPLICATIONS AND DELAYS FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED BY A START UP COMPANY.
We were incorporated on November 18, 2003 as a blank check company and on June 6, 2005 we acquired EPS, Inc., and changed our business plan. EPS, Inc. is a development stage company which has not generated any revenues to date. Accordingly, you can evaluate our business, and therefore our future prospects, based only on a limited operating history. You must consider our prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by start up companies. To date, we have completed only part of our business plan. As a start-up company, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to make the necessary steps to achieve profitability in the future, such as expanding our customer base.
We are subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the commencement of a new business enterprise with new management. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully generate revenues, operate profitably, or make any distributions to the holders of our securities. We have a limited business history for you to analyze or to aid you in making an informed judgment as to the merits of an investment in our securities. Any investment in our common stock should be considered a high risk investment because you will be placing funds at risk in an unseasoned start-up company with unforeseen costs, expenses, competition and other problems to which start-up ventures are often subject.
-2-
As we have such a limited history of operation, you will be unable to assess our future operating performance or our future financial results or condition by comparing these criteria against our past or present equivalents.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO GENERATE SIGNIFICANT REVENUES FROM OUR OPERATIONS, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO EXPAND OUR SERVICES AND MAY BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATIONS.
If we are unable to generate significant revenues from our operations, we could be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate certain services and product development programs. We intend to acquire and maintain franchises in the quick-service food industry. Ultimately the expansion of our franchises and featured destinations may allow us to become profitable. However, if we fail to generate significant revenues in the future, then we will not able to expand our product line as we anticipate. This failure to expand may hurt our ability to raise additional capital which could have a negative effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition to such extent that we are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could put your investment dollars at significant risk.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL, THEN WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
We depend on the services of our sole officer and director and our success depends on the continued efforts of such individual to manage our business operations. At the present time, Gary Moore, Don Bratcher and Dick Torti each devote approximately 25 hours per week to the business affairs of the company. The loss of the services of the President could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our success in expanding our business operations is largely dependent on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel. In addition, we may lose employees or consultants that we hire due to higher salaries and fees being offered by competitors or other businesses in the industry.
GARY MOORE, DON BRATCHER AND DICK TORTI CONTROL MAY PREVENT YOU FROM CAUSING A CHANGE IN THE COURSE OF OUR OPERATIONS AND MAY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Gary Moore, Don Bratcher and Dick Torti beneficially own approximately 89% of our common stock. Accordingly, for as long as these individuals continues to own more than 50% of our common stock, he will be able to elect our entire board of directors, control all matters that require a stockholder vote (such as mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations) and exercise a significant amount of influence over our management and operations. Therefore, regardless of the number of our common shares sold, your ability to cause a change in the course of our operations is eliminated. As such, the value attributable to the right to vote is limited. This concentration of ownership could result in a reduction in value to the common shares you own because of the ineffective voting power, and could have the effect of preventing us from undergoing a change of control in the future.
DON BRATCHER AND DICK TORTI, TWO OF OUR OFFICERS, HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN THEY ARE THE SOLE OFFICER OF ANOTHER BUSINESS WHICH WILL PREVENT THEM FROM DEVOTING HIS FULL-TIME TO OUR OPERATIONS WHICH MAY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS. .
-3-
Don Bratcher has a conflict of interest in that he independently operates as an insurance examiner and financial analyst for various state insurance departments and Dick Torti has a conflict of interest in that he independently operates as a contract consultant and mages investment portfolios. It is possible that there may be a conflict of interest in providing management services to these companies. It is possible that although they plan on devoting at least 25 hours a week to our business, the time they must spend on their duties to the other business may delay our operations and may reduce our financial results because of the slow down in operations.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR INVESTMENT SINCE THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT A PUBLIC MARKET WILL DEVELOP FOR OUR COMMON STOCK OR THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER BE APPROVED FOR TRADING ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE.
There is no established public trading market for our securities. After this document is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we intend to seek a market maker to apply for a quotation on the OTC BB in the United States. Our shares are not and have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. We cannot assure you that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with the OTC BB, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate its investment, which will result in the loss of your investment.
WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS AND INVESTORS SHOULD NOT BUY OUR COMMON STOCK EXPECTING TO RECEIVE DIVIDENDS.
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock in the past, and do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not pay dividends, and if we are not successful in having our shares listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, then you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we do not pay dividends we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand out business operations.
THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE SHARES WAS ARBITRARILY DETERMINED, AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE OF THE SECURITIES. THEREFORE, THE OFFERING PRICE BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE COMPANY, AND MAY MAKE OUR SHARES DIFFICULT TO SELL.
Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $.10 for the shares of common stock was arbitrarily determined. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price is not an indication of and is not based upon our actual value. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.
-4-
FUTURE SALES BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE AND OUR ABILITY TO RAISE FUNDS IN NEW STOCK OFFERINGS
Sales of our common stock in the public market following this offering could lower the market price of our common stock. Sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable or at all. Of the 51,280,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 6, 2005, 1,505,000 shares are, or will be, freely tradable without restriction upon the effective date of this registration statement, unless held by our affiliates. The remaining 49,775,000 shares of common stock, which will be held by existing stockholders, including the officers and directors, are restricted securities and may be resold in the public market only if registered or pursuant to an exemption from registration. Some of these shares may be resold under Rule 144.
WE ARE IN AN INTENSELY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY AND ANY FAILURE TO TIMELY IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN COULD DIMINISH OR SUSPEND OUR DEVELOPMENT AND POSSIBLY CEASE OUR OPERATIONS.
The intellectual property industry is highly competitive, and has few barriers to entry. We can provide no assurance that additional competitors will not enter into the industry. There are other companies that currently offer similar services that have established user bases that are significantly larger than ours, and that have access to greater capital. If we are unable to efficiently and effectively institute our business plan as a result of intense competition or a saturated market, we may not be able to continue the development and enhancement of our web site and become profitable.
PENNY STOCK RULES MAY MAKE BUYING OR SELLING OUR COMMON STOCK DIFFICULT
Trading in our securities is subject to the penny stock rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our securities to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker- dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to certain types of investors are required to comply with the Commissions regulations concerning the transfer of penny stocks. These regulations require broker- dealers to:
-5-
o |
Make a suitability determination prior to selling a penny stock to the purchaser; |
o |
Receive the purchasers written consent to the transaction; and |
o |
Provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. |
These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY DECREASE DUE TO OUR MARKET CAP BASED ON THE FUTURE ISSUANCES OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of two hundred million shares of common stock. As of June 6, 2005, we had 51,280,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As such, our Board of Directors has the power, without shareholder approval, to issue up to 48,720,000 shares of common stock. The issuance of such shares will dilute the shares held by the current shareholders.
However, our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue from time to time the preferred stock and with such relative rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions that the Board may determine. Any issuance of preferred stock will dilute the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. If preferred shares are issued it may impact our decision to issue dividends since this may increase the number of dividends that we would be issuing. In addition, it is possible that the Board of Directors may determine that the preferred shares will have rights and preferences, including dividend rights, over the common stockholders.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The selling stockholders are selling shares of common stock covered by this prospectus for their own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of these shares. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the shares for the selling security holders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares of common stock was arbitrarily determined. The offering price was determined by the price shares were sold to our shareholders in a private placement memorandum undertaken by our subsidiary EPS, Inc. pursuant to Regulation D Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933 which was completed in December 2004.
-6-
The offering price of the shares of our common stock has been determined arbitrarily by us and will not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. Although our common stock is not listed on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB), we attempt to locate a market maker and to file to obtain a listing on the (OTCBB) concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. Although there are no requirements for listing on the OTCBB, there is no assurances that our common stock will be approved to trade on the OTCBB. We have had discussions with one market maker regarding the filing of our application for trading on the OTCBB. However, there is no assurance that our common stock, even if it becomes listed on the OTCBB, will trade at market prices in excess of the initial public offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for the common stock, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions.
DILUTION
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be limited dilution to our existing shareholders.
PENNY STOCK CONSIDERATIONS
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The shares being offered for resale by the selling stockholders consist of the 1,505,000 shares of our common stock held by 39 shareholders. Such shareholders include the holders of the shares sold in the Regulation D Rule 506 offering which was completed by EPS, Inc. in April 2005 and shares were subsequently issued to these shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange between the us and EPS, Inc. Such shareholders also include individuals who received his shares for services rendered to EPS, Inc. and subsequently received shares of our commons tock in the Share Exchange. Such shareholders also include Anslow & Jaclin, LLP who received compensation for legal services. The following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholders, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders as of June 6, 2005 and the number of shares of
-7-
common stock being offered by the selling stockholders. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the selling stockholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $.10 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Sales by selling security holder must be made at the fixed price of $.10 until a market develops for the stock.
The shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders or by pledgees, donees or transferees of, or successors in interest to, the selling stockholders, directly to one or more purchasers (including pledgees) or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
o |
ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales, |
o |
transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading, |
o |
purchases by brokers or dealers as principal and resale by such purchasers for their own accounts pursuant to this prospectus, |
-9-
o |
in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents, |
o |
through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise), or |
o |
any combination of the foregoing. |
In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus.
Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. We do not anticipate that either our shareholders or we will engage an underwriter in the selling or distribution of our shares.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling security holders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $10,000.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share.
Common Stock
As of June 6, 2005, 51,280,000 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding and held by 39 shareholders. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote.
Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.
Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation.
Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
Warrants
There are no outstanding warrants to purchase our securities.
Options
There are no options to purchase our securities outstanding. We may in the future establish an incentive stock option plan for our directors, employees and consultants.

INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee. Anslow & Jaclin, LLP, our independent legal counsel, has provided an opinion on the validity of our common stock. Gregg E. Jaclin and Richard I. Anslow, the principals of Anslow & Jaclin, LLP received 500,000 shares of our common stock as compensation for legal services. Anslow & Jaclin, LLP has been our legal counsel since inception.
The financial statements included in this prospectus and the registration statement have been audited by Gately & Associates, LLC certified public accountants, to the extent and for the periods set forth in their report appearing elsewhere herein and in the registration statement, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our director and officer is indemnified as provided by the Delaware Statutes and our Bylaws. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the courts decision.
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware under the name Modena 2, Inc. on November 18, 2003 to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. On September 8, 2004, pursuant to an agreement between us, Chris Penner, Don Bratcher and Gary Moore (Agreement), Gary Moore and Don Bratcher purchased all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. We had been in the developmental stage since inception and have no operations to date other than issuing shares. On May 10, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange between us and EPS, Inc., an Arkansas corporation, and the shareholders of EPS, we purchased all of the outstanding shares of EPS for the issuance of 10,156,000 shares of our stock to the EPS shareholders. Pursuant to the Agreement, EPS became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition was approved by the unanimous consent of our Board of Directors on May 10, 2005. Pursuant to the
-13-
terms of the Agreement, we filed Articles of Amendment with the State of Delaware changing our name to Effective Profitable Software, Inc.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We are an evaluation software company that will focus on bringing affordable evaluation tools to the general public. Our business model is to use in house proprietary software for evaluation of markets, stocks, commodities, and other financial instruments.
We have developed an innovative evaluation system we call TimingWave. At the center of the system is a 100% mechanical, unemotional timing model that is both powerful and simple to use. Its web-based access will make it both affordable and accessible, and its evaluations are easily understood.
We believe that we will be able to leverage the proprietary evaluation system to quickly gain market share. Priced at less than a dollar a day, it will have user friendly functions that produce reliable and clear evaluations for our subscribers.
Market
We will concentrate on the unserved masses that are overlooked and often ignored by the larger financial houses. The financial advisors, financial analysts, CPAs, and financial services sales agents will be targeted with free access so they can introduce clients to the software. Money managers will be given demonstrations on the evaluation ability of the software in order to acquire evaluations contracts. President Bushs Ownership Society has the potential to divert billions of Social Security dollars back to individuals to invest. The enormous potential of the entire American work force having additional self directed investment dollars to manage is staggering.
Management Team
A combination of sales, banking, management, accounting, and technical evaluation makes up the EPS management team. All share the same desire to bring an affordable evaluation system to the public.
Timing Wave
Our objective is to provide an effective, affordable evaluation tool for the average investor to enhance and protect his or her portfolio. We intend to create a loyal customer base who promotes the company by receiving excellent results and continuing education with accurate expectations. We believe we will be able to maintain a motivated and creative workforce who share the same purpose of customer satisfaction. We want to provide any person who wants to actively manage their investment portfolios with the instructions and tools to do so at an affordable cost.
Services
We will produce proprietary software that evaluates stocks, commodities, indexes, bonds, and currencies. This software is a technical indicator-based system that is fast and effective in evaluating markets. The software is easy to learn and gives high probability trades. It is capable
-14-
of analyzing any market and is just as effective with stocks and bonds as it is with commodities and indexes. Training materials will be provided for all software subscribers. If a subscriber chooses to, they can attend instructional seminars where a Power Point presentation will be presented to them along with the use of the training materials. The seminars will be held in various locations throughout the country and admission is free, although reservations will be mandatory in order to allow EPS to prepare for the number of participants. If a subscriber chooses not to attend the seminars, they will be given passwords in order to gain access to an on-line system which will provide them with the training materials.
Market Analysis Summary
With over 40% of the American public invested in some sort of financial instrument, the potential pool of subscribers is infinite. We have identified specific identifiable segments: personal financial advisors, credit analysts, financial analysts, and CPAs. According to the Division of Labor, there are 85,670 people currently employed as personal financial advisors and 165,420 people employed as financial analysts. With a combined total of 290,670 people, they are certainly a necessary target segment. The affordable and user friendly application EPS offers will make both the individual and the professional comfortable. The growing number of baby boomers with less than sufficient funds from retirement benefits will be an additional market segment targeted.
Professional traders, as well as companies operating trade platforms, will be contacted. The software is interfaced with their trading platforms, and the trading fees that are generated by the system will be shared. Hedge funds, money managers, and mutual funds will be solicited for designing proprietary systems regarding their particular requirements. We also address a previously ignored niche: the small investor. By making the evaluation systems affordable, we will provide the small investor an instrument to enhance his or her earnings and protect his or her portfolio.
Service Business Analysis
The majority of evaluation programs are designed for the professional or institutional trader; they are typically complicated with confusing language. We are different because our programs are written for the novice in mind and we do not use complicated indicators or subjective strategies. All markets do one of three things: go up, go down, or go sideways. Complicated charts with numerous indicators tend to confuse rather than clarify. The purpose of our system is to help the investor decide whether they should be in or out of a given market, stock, or other investment.
We will attempt to leverage the proprietary evaluation system to quickly gain market share. The system is convenient and based on extensive research, providing a reliable model for evaluation of both markets and stocks.
We intend to hold seminar throughout the country to educate the consumer on the product they are buying. Admission will be free, but reservations will be required. At least ten outside agents will arrange and conduct the seminars. The agents will make a scripted Power Point presentation, demonstrating the evaluation software and how to read the indicators. Direct mail and email advertising will be used as well. These forms of advertising offer free access and instructions on the use of the evaluation softwares various programs. We also intend to begin a weekly, interactive class for subscribers in case they have any questions they need clarified.
-15-
Web Plan Summary
Our website will have several different functions. It will be used as a marketing tool and it will allow subscribers to access the evaluation software. The site will also give subscribers opinions on strategies and historic data along with third party validation of the performance of our evaluation system. Paypal will be used to handle all internet subscriptions on the site. A weekly timing wave instructional and interactive class will also be provided, along with a glossary and answers to FAQs.
COMPETITION
Countless market timing websites are available each having particular systems and markets with various time periods and indicators. We are not similar to that type of market timing service since we are a trading tool which indicates when certain market conditions exist for a high probability trade. The website will contain software in which the subscriber will be able to test results historically and it will give the most advantageous stop. The indicators that collaborate to produce the market signal are simple and not subjective. We do not believe that Timing Wave has any real or specific competition but we just do not have any name recognition. In order to rectify this we intend to market the Timing Wave with a free one month subscription. We are confident once people are exposed to the simple but profitable Timing Wave our subscription members will grow dramatically.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Plan of Operations
During the next twelve months, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the operations:
Initially we plan to prepare and execute a marketing plan to develop our subscription base. The majority of our member base will be obtained from three sources: search engine results and links placed in online market timing directories via link exchange programs. We anticipate that within thirty to sixty days, a comprehensive marketing plan will be developed. We expect to spend approximately $5,000 on marketing in the areas of Keyword Advertising and Sponsored Links through Google, FindWhat, and other similar targeted keyword programs. Another area that we will vigorously pursue as part of our marketing and branding program is search engine placement. By continuing to work to optimize the site, and by increasing the number of links to the site, we feel we can receive better search results and search engine saturation, which in turn directs more traffic to the website. In addition to our internet based effort we intend to advertise in national papers Wall Street Journal, USA Today we anticipate additional subscriptions from word of mouth.
In early 2006 we intend to raise the subscription fee dramatically. We believe our programs are so unique and accurate that no active subscription members will be affected and we intend to inform them when they subscribe that this is an initial offer and prices will increase. We currently have enough cash to satisfy our minimum cash requirements for the next 6 months to maintain our operations. However, we may require additional funds to increase marketing, to expand international and for further development of our Website.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Our executive offices are located at 1 Innwood Circle, Suite 103, Little Rock, Arkansas 72211. This office space is leased to us pursuant to a three year lease which commenced July 2004 and ends July 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the lease we pay $900 a month for this property and we believe that this space is sufficient and adequate to operate our current business.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
No Public Market for Common Stock
There is presently no public market for our common stock. We anticipate applying for trading of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms apart. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize.
Holders of Our Common Stock
As of June 6, 2005, we had 39 registered shareholders.
Rule 144
As of June 6, 2005, there are no shares of our common stock which are currently available for resale to the public and in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act. After May 2006, the 50,780,000 (post split) shares issued to our shareholders pursuant to the share exchange agreement with EPS, Inc., will become available for resale to the public and in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act.

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the company. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of the companys affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
Dividends
Since inception we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock, when issued pursuant to this offering. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the

exploration and growth of our business, our Board of Directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future.
Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of significant accounting policies:
Industry:
Modena 2, Inc. (the Company), a Company incorporated in the state of Delaware as of November 18, 2003, plans to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with The Company. The combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company will wish to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of1986, as amended. No assurances can be given that The Company will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company.
The Company has been formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting (public) company whose securities are qualified for trading in the United States secondary market.
The Company has adopted its fiscal year end to be October 31.
Results of Operations and Ongoing Entity:
The Company is considered to be an ongoing entity for accounting purposes; however, there is substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys shareholders fund any shortfalls in The Companys cash flow on a day to day basis during the time period that The Company is in the development stage.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
In addition to the stockholder funding capital shortfalls; The Company anticipates interested investors that intend to fund the Companys growth once a business is located.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers cash on hand and amounts on deposit with financial institutions which have original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Basis of Accounting:
The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Income Taxes:
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to measure and record deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At this time, The Company has set up an allowance for deferred taxes as there is no company history to indicate the usage of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
F-5
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Companys financial instruments may include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and liabilities to banks and shareholders. The carrying amount of long-term debt to banks approximates fair value based on interest rates that are currently available to The Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of other financial instruments approximate their fair value because of short-term maturities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments which potentially expose The Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of operating demand deposit accounts. The Companys policy is to place its operating demand deposit accounts with high credit quality financial institutions. At this time The Company has no deposits that are at risk.
2. Related Party Transactions and Going Concern:
The Companys financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern in the development stage, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At this time The Company has not identified the business that it wishes to engage in.
The Companys shareholders fund The Companys activities while The Company takes
steps to locate and negotiate with a business entity for combination; however,
there can be no assurance these activities will be successful.
3. Accounts Receivable and Customer Deposits:
Accounts receivable and Customer deposits do not exist at this time and therefore have no allowances accounted for or disclosures made.
4. Use of Estimates:
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenue and expenses. Management has no reason to make estimates at this time.
5. Revenue and Cost Recognition:
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial statement reporting.
6. Accrued Expenses:
Accrued expenses consist of accrued legal, accounting and office costs during this stage of the business.
F-6
7. Operating Lease Agreements:
The Company has no agreements at this time.
8. Stockholders Equity:
Common Stock includes 100,000,000 shares authorized at a par value of $0.001, of which 100,000 have been issued for the amount of $100 on November 18, 2003 in acceptance of the incorporation expenses for the Company.
9. Required Cash Flow Disclosure for Interest and Taxes Paid:
The company has paid no amounts for federal income taxes and interest. The Company issued 100,000 common shares of stock to its sole shareholder in acceptance of the incorporation expenses for the Company.
10. Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Shares. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. |
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS |
Section of the Delaware Statutes provides for the indemnification of officers, directors, employees, and agents. A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 26. |
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES |
On November 18, 2003, we issued a total of 100,000 shares to John Fitzpatrick for services rendered as our founder. Such shares were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a public offering as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, and manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, John Fitzpatrick had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since he agreed to and received a share certificate bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a public offering. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction. In April 2004, John Fitzpatrick transferred the 100,000 shares to Chris Penner pursuant to a stock purchase agreement and pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. On September 9, 2004, Gary Moore purchased 50,000 shares from Chris Penner and Don Batcher purchased 50,000 shares from Chris Penner pursuant to a stock purchase agreement and pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. These 100,000 shares were subsequently increased to 500,000 shares in the 5-1 forward split undertaken by the Company on May 20, 2005.
On May 10, 2005, we issued a total of 10,156,000 shares of our common stock to 39 shareholders pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange between us and EPS, Inc. Such shares were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. On May 20, 2005, our directors and shareholders approved a 5-1 forward split of our outstanding common shares increasing the amount of shares owned by these shareholders to 50,780,000 shares. The following sets forth the identity of the class of persons to whom we issued shares pursuant to the share exchange and the amount of shares for each shareholder (pre split):

In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received a share certificate bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction

ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a public offering. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.
We have never utilized an underwriter for an offering of our securities. Other than the securities mentioned above, we have not issued or sold any securities.

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act maybe permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding ,is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
