1.Description of the Company
Reverse Acquisition
In January 2012, EZJR, Inc. (the "Company", "EZJR") entered into a two-step transaction with OwnerWiz Realty Inc. (“OWR”), a privately-held Georgia corporation. The first step of the transaction occurred in January 2012, when an entity owned by the shareholders of OWR acquired seven million five hundred thousand (7,500,000) shares of EZJR, approximately 95.25% of the then outstanding shares of EZJR. The second step of the transaction occurred on March 1, 2012, when EZJR, Inc., EZJR Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation and subsidiary of EZJR and OWR, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which the Sub was merged with and into OWR, with OWR surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of OWR in exchange for issuing 390,000 shares of EZJR common stock which were issued to two shareholders of OWR. As the former shareholders of OWR now own over 95% of the outstanding common stock of EZJR, the transaction is recorded as a reverse merger and resulted in a recapitalization with OWR being the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the historical financial statements are those of OWR and have been prepared to give retroactive effect to the reverse acquisition.
Development Stage Operations
EZJR Inc. is a Nevada corporation. One of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, OwnerWiz Realty Inc., was incorporated and began operations on April 12, 2011 in the state of Georgia. The other, OW Marketing, Inc., was incorporated in Georgia on October 23, 2011 and began operations in March 2012. The Company has 70,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized, of which are 10,386,563 shares are issued and outstanding at March 31, 2012. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.
The Company is a development stage enterprise primarily engaged in the referral and brokering of real estate transactions in the United States. The Company contracts with a related party to utilize leads from the related party's Real Estate Agent Referral Network (REAR) website, which is designed to generate qualified client leads throughout the United States. The Company brokers real estate transactions in the state of Georgia and refers out-of-state real estate leads to participating REAR real estate agents in other states. The focus of the lead generation program is to identify and refer potential homeowners with troubled credit histories to participating REAR real estate agents.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
During its development stage for the period from April 12, 2011 (inception) to March 31, 2012, the Company has completed 11 revenue transactions totaling $30,314. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the company did not complete any revenue transactions. From inception to March 31, 2012, five of the 11 transactions, totaling $8,288, originated from client leads purchased by the Company from a related party. Of those five transactions from April 12, 2011 (inception) to March 31, 2012, one transaction of $4,200 and a separate revenue transaction of $19,800 were with relatives of a major shareholder of the Company and are presented on the statement of operations as related party revenue. The Company has no significant operating history and from inception to March 31, 2012, has generated a net loss of $201,588. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company has generated a net loss of $54,175. The accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and for the period then ended have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During 2012, management intends to raise additional debt or equity financing to fund ongoing operations and necessary working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing plans will be successful or be obtained in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’s needs. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the financial position as of March 31, 2012 and the results of operations and cash flows for the related three-month period ended March 31, 2012 and for the period from April 12, 2011 (inception) to March 31, 2012. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or for any other periods. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company is a licensed corporate real estate broker in the state of Georgia and contracts with real estate agents to provide customer leads and broker services in return for a participatory share of commissions earned on completed real estate sales and rental transactions. The Company reports the entire commission earned from a sales or rental transaction as revenue on a gross basis. Commission Expenses as presented in the statement of operations represent the variable portion of the gross commission earned that is paid to the Company’s in-State sub-contracted agents (Note 6) who conduct the transactions. The Company recognizes revenue only when the real estate transaction has closed and all of the following criteria have been met: i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; iii) the fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and iv) collectibility is reasonably assured.
No Items of Other Comprehensive Income or Loss
The Company has no items of other comprehensive income or loss for the period from April 12, 2011 (inception) to March 31, 2012. Therefore, the net loss as presented in the Company’s Statement of Operations equals comprehensive loss.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited in one financial institution.
Concentration of Credit Risk for Cash Deposits at Banks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Deposits at the Company's financial institution are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures fair value based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Accounts receivable and accounts payable are reported at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.
The fair value measurements of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:
| | | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total |
| March 31, 2012 | | | | | | | | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | | $12,742 | | - | | - | | $12,742 |

| December 31, 2011 | | | | | | | | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | | $22,441 | | - | | - | | $22,441 |
Basis for Recording Fixed Assets, Lives, and Depreciation Methods
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:
| Furniture and fixtures | | 7 years |
| Equipment | | 3 to 7 years |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update that eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in equity and requires an entity to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance also requires an entity to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that clarifies and amends the existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance will be effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
3.Related Party Transactions
Sales Lead Contract
The Company purchases its qualified client leads from an entity which is owned by a beneficial owner of the majority shareholder, and therefore a related party.

Client lead expense was $3,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 and was $11,000 for the period from April 12, 2011 (inception) to March 31, 2012.

Agent Contracts
The Company, as broker, has entered into agreements with Georgia licensed real estate agents which provide for the agents to conduct transactions on behalf of the Company in return for a split in the commission of completed real estate transactions. The agent portion of the commission can range from 40% to 90%, depending on the source of the client lead. Per the agreement, real estate agents do not earn their portion of the commission until receipt by the Company. The agents are paid a weekly fee for services, which in certain instances is offset by commissions received.
Employment Contracts
On October 9, 2011, the Company entered into one-year employment agreements with two individuals. One was hired as Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) and the other was with the Company's CEO to continue serving in that role. The CCO's compensation terms have not been finalized and the CEO agreement calls for the officer to receive compensation of $9,600 per month.
Going Concern and Management's Plan
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has very few revenue transactions, has incurred losses from operations since inception, and as of March 31, 2012, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $29,220. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is seeking additional sources of financing and is continuing to implement the business plan. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Concentrations
Approximately 27% of the Company's revenue for the period from April 12, 2011 (inception) to March 31, 2012 resulted from the sales lead contract the Company has with a related party. There were no revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Changes or cancellation of the sales lead contract could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

7.Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and does not consider the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 and for the period from April 12, 2011 (inception) to March 31, 2012, the Company did not have any dilutive common stock equivalents.
8.Equity Transactions
Founders Shares
Two individuals founded the Company in April 2011. Initial capitalization of the Company resulted in 292,500 shares of common stock being issued to one individual and 97,500 shares of common stock being issued to the other individual for total consideration of $10.
Share Issuances
On March 21, 2012, the Company issued a total of 2,122,813 shares, with a fair value of $0.08 per share, of its common stock to satisfy obligations as follows:
| Shares | | Amount |
Related party shareholder advances | 1,477,813 | | $118,225 |
Note payable | 312,500 | | 25,000 |
Note payable - related party | 312,500 | | 25,000 |
Consulting services | 20,000 | | 1,600 |
Total | 2,122,813 | | $169,825 |

9.Subsequent Events
Office Lease
In April 2012, the Company entered into a lease for its new office facilities. The lease begins May 1, 2012 and expires June 30, 2015. The first two months of rent are free, year one calls for monthly base rent of $4,724, year two has monthly base rent of $4,866 and year three has monthly base rent of $5,014. A security deposit of $4,724 was paid upon execution of the lease.
Proxy Statement
In May 2012, the Board of Directors approved a 3 for 1 forward stock split of the Company’s common stock, an increase in the number of authorized common shares from 70 million to 200 million, and to change the Company’s name from EZJR, Inc. to Realty Ramp, Inc. These matters, among others, will require approval of the majority of the Company’s common shareholders. A shareholders’ meeting to approve these changes has not as yet been set.

Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", included in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
Overview of Current Operations
EZJR, Inc. ("the Company" or “EZJR”) was organized by the filing of Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on August 14, 2006.
OwnerWiz Realty Inc., (“OWR”) the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, and principal business operations, is a real estate company that provides service and products for first time home buyers and clients re-entering the path to home ownership representing buyers, sellers, developers and investors in all facets of real estate brokerage with a focus on serving the growing number of renters in the US.
18
The acquisition of OWR is considered to be a reverse merger transaction and a re-capitalization of OWR, and therefore all financial statements and other financial information presented is that of OWR.
OWR was incorporated April 12, 2011.
OWR’s Business
OwnerWiz Realty Inc. is a Georgia licensed real estate company that represents both buyers and sellers of homes and OWR earns commission revenues when the sales transactions are complete from the buyer or seller. OWR does not have the capital reserves sufficient to meet its current business obligations and needs to secure additional investment capital from outside sources or in the form of fees generated by assisting, advising and representing clients buying and selling real estate. Clients (buyers and sellers) will be obligated to pay for OWR’s performed services.
OWR generates revenues by selling realtor services to prospective homebuyers interested in residential properties. They focus on identifying rental properties that a prospective buyer can rent with an option to purchase the property at a later date. In some instances, these services will be provided by realtors employed or retained by our company. In other instances, OWR will refer these services to outside realtors. OWR will collect a fixed portion of the realtor commissions. In order to promote its realtor services, OWR will provide prospective homebuyers with comprehensive information on residential properties.
OWR’s principle business activities include: promoting, marketing, and selling realtor services to prospective homebuyers interested in residential properties.
Business Strategy
In the real estate industry, where competition for leads is fierce and expensive, OWR plans to attract clients efficiently and effectively. As other brokerage firms adapt to evolving technologies and practices, OWR plans to differentiate itself by developing better ways to attract clients by offering them a variety of properties to rent that the client can purchase a fixed price at a future date. OWR plans to identify these properties through newspaper advertising, established client lists and relying on MLS data. OWR wants to empower its agents with the information and tools needed to satisfy clients, work more effectively and manage costs successfully.
OWR is focused on growing its revenues by building its market share in strong and attractive markets. In doing so, OWR needs to specialize in a localized and customized approach that is tailored to meet the dynamics of each market. Management will need to organize its local management responsibilities, thus encouraging greater local independence and efficiency.
19
Because the competitive landscape varies by market, the growth initiatives OWR uses in each market will likely vary as well. Typically, OWR plans to engage additional independent contractor agents, to build its local referral networks, and to incentivize agents by compensating them at greater levels as their productivity increases. OWR also plans to pursue home listings business. The home listings business represents a significant revenue growth opportunity for OWR, and management plans to build a local referral networks, name recognition and reputation for local knowledge and expertise to drive the growth of the home listings business market by market.
The management of OWR is focused on staying on top of changes in the way home buyers, home sellers and real estate agents seek to conduct business in the residential real estate industry and on fine-tuning its value proposition accordingly. Management plans to test in select markets alternatives to rebates that are designed to highlight and enhance the professionalism and high quality service of our agents. The continuous evaluation and refinement of OWR’s business model is critical to its culture, to its ability to differentiate its products and services from the competitors.
Software Algorithm Program
On January 21, 2012, OWR purchased from two individuals, one of which is a shareholder of OWR, software that calculates an actual dollar value for the consumer’s credit score using a proprietary algorithm. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the consumer’s debt, income, expenses, assets, employment and financial goals, the software converts the consumer's credit score into a tangible number that aides the consumer when choosing their most suitable course of action. Management believes that this software algorithm program will help OWR build business operations and add value to its clients.
OWR issued two notes payable, each in the amount of $25,000, to each of the sellers. The notes are without collateral, bear interest at 6% per annum and are due on or before September 30, 2012.
Marketing Strategy
OWR plans to maintain a marketing and sales force for its sales projects. Management will determine the appropriate advertising and selling plan for each project. Management wants to develop public awareness through marketing and advertising as well as referrals from customers.
20
OWR plans to utilize a customer relationship management system to track customer profiles, which will helps OWR forecast future customer requirements and general demand for new projects. By tracking customer profiles, management plans to build an internal data base, referred to as “customer relationship management system” which will list available properties for rent and potential clients who might be interested in renting these properties with a view towards future ownership. This will allow real-time information on the status of individual customer transactions as well as available inventory by project, which will enables OWR better anticipate the preferences of current and future customers. Management plans to develop customer awareness through advertising. The various advertising media to market OWR’s real estate properties and brand name, include newspapers, magazines, television, radio, e-marketing and outdoor billboards.
Real Estate Agents
Management believes that consumers want to work with real estate agents that possess strong professional skills, including depth and breadth of knowledge in their local markets. OWR’s real estate agents are required to be licensed REALTORS and typically have extensive market knowledge of the markets they serve and are active members of their local, state and national real estate and MLS associations. As is customary in the real estate brokerage industry, agents earn a portion of the commissions they generate for OWR, which is known as their split. OWR commission splits to its agents typically vary based on eligible production. OWR plans to utilize the service of agents who are independent contractors.
Government Regulation
The real estate industry is highly regulated. A real estate business must comply with the requirements governing the licensing and conduct of real estate brokerage and brokerage-related businesses in the jurisdictions in which they do business. These laws and regulations contain general standards for and prohibitions on the conduct of real estate brokers and sales associates, including those relating to licensing of brokers and sales associates, fiduciary and agency duties, administration of trust funds, collection of commissions, advertising and consumer disclosures. Under most state law, real estate brokers have the duty to supervise and are responsible for the conduct of their brokerage business.
The most extensive regulations applicable to OWR’s business are at the state level and are typically overseen by state agencies dedicated to real estate matters. Additionally, the residential real estate industry is also regulated by federal and local authorities.
Local regulation
Local regulations govern the conduct of the real estate brokerage business. Local regulations generally require additional disclosures by the parties to a real estate transaction or their agents, or the receipt of reports or certifications, often from the local governmental authority, prior to the closing or settlement of a real estate transaction.
21
State regulation
Real estate licensing laws vary from state to state, but generally all individuals and entities acting as real estate brokers or salespersons must be licensed in the state in which they conduct business. A person licensed as a broker may either work independently or may work for another broker in the role of an associate broker, conducting business on behalf of the sponsoring broker. A person licensed as a salesperson must be affiliated with a broker in order to engage in licensed real estate brokerage activities. Generally, a corporation engaged in the real estate brokerage business must obtain a corporate real estate broker license (although in some states the licenses are personal to individual brokers). In order to obtain this license, most jurisdictions require that an officer of the corporation be licensed individually as a real estate broker in that jurisdiction. If applicable, this officer-broker is responsible for supervising the licensees and the corporation’s real estate brokerage activities within the state. Real estate licensees, whether they are brokers, salespersons, individuals or entities, must follow the state’s real estate licensing laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally prescribe minimum duties and obligations of these licensees to their clients and the public, as well as standards for the conduct of business, including contract and disclosure requirements, record keeping requirements, requirements for local offices, trust fund handling, agency representation, advertising regulations and fair housing requirements
Further, OWR may be subject to litigation claims alleging breaches of fiduciary duties by its licensed brokers and violations of unlawful state laws relating to business practices or consumer disclosures. Management cannot predict with certainty the cost of defense or the ultimate outcome of these or other litigation matters filed by or against OWR, including remedies or awards, and adverse results in any such litigation may harm our business and financial condition.
Federal regulation
In addition to state regulations, several federal laws and regulations govern the real estate brokerage business. The applicable federal regulations include the federal fair housing laws and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act(“RESPA”) of 1974, as amended,which is administered and enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.RESPA and comparable state statutes, among other things, restrict payments which real estate brokers, agents and other settlement service providers may receive for the referral of business to other settlement service providers in connection with the closing of real estate transactions. Such laws may to some extent restrict preferred vendor arrangements involving our brokerage business. RESPA and similar state laws require timely disclosure of certain relationships or financial interests that a broker has with providers of real estate settlement services.
22
There is a risk that OWR could be adversely affected by current laws, regulations or interpretations or that more restrictive laws, regulations or interpretations will be adopted in the future that could make compliance more difficult or expensive. There is also a risk that a change in current laws could adversely affect OWR’s business.
In addition, regulatory authorities have relatively broad discretion to grant, renew and revoke licenses and approvals and to implement regulations. Accordingly, such regulatory authorities could prevent or temporarily suspend OWR from carrying on some or all of our activities or otherwise penalize OWR if our practices were found not to comply with the then current regulatory or licensing requirements or any interpretation of such requirements by the regulatory authority. Our failure to comply with any of these requirements or interpretations could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
OWR is also, to a lesser extent, subject to various other rules and regulations such as:
· | the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which governs the disclosure and safeguarding of consumer financial information; |
· | various state and federal privacy laws; |
· | restrictions on transactions with persons on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list promulgated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury; |
· | federal and state “Do Not Call” and “Do Not Fax” laws; |
-9-
· | “controlled business” statutes, which impose limitations on affiliations between providers of title and settlement services, on the one hand, and real estate brokers, mortgage lenders and other real estate providers, on the other hand; and |
OWR is subject to federal and state consumer protection laws including laws protecting the privacy of consumer non-public information and regulations prohibiting unfair and deceptive trade practices. In particular, under federal and state financial privacy laws and regulations, OWR must provide notice to consumers of its policies on sharing non-public information with third parties, must provide advance notice of any changes to our policies and, with limited exceptions, must give consumers the right to prevent sharing of their non-public personal information with unaffiliated third parties. These consumer protection laws could result in substantial compliance costs and could interfere with the conduct of OWR’s business.
23
OWR’s failure to comply with any of the foregoing laws and regulations may subject OWR to fines, penalties, injunctions and/or potential criminal violations. Any changes to these laws or regulations or any new laws or regulations may make it more difficult for OWR to operate its business and may have a material adverse effect on OWR’s operations.
Federal and state labor regulation.
In addition to the real estate regulations discussed above, OWR is subject to federal and state regulations relating to employment and compensation practices. OWR is subject to Internal Revenue Service, Fair Labor Standards Act and state law guidelines as they apply to real estate agents, who are classified as independent contractors.
Third-party rules
In addition to governmental regulations, OWR is subject to rules established by private real estate trade organizations, including, among others, local MLSs, NAR, state Associations of REALTORS, and local Associations of REALTORS. The rules of the various MLSs to which OWR belong vary, and specify, among other things, how OWR as a broker member can use MLS listing data.
Competition
The market for residential real estate brokerage services is very competitive. Realtors compete for business primarily on the basis of services offered, reputation, personal contacts, and realtor commission. At the national level, no individual real estate brokerage firm holds more than a 3% share of the national market, and the ten largest real estate brokerage firms hold less than 6% collectively of the national market, in 2009, according to REALTrends.However, the ten largest national brands that franchise individual brokerages accounted for a significant percentage of total brokered transaction volume, providing the potential for significant national and local influence. OWR competes with these brokerages at the local level to represent home buyers and sellers.
OWR’s larger competitors include Prudential Financial, Inc., RE/MAX International Inc. and Realogy Corporation, which owns the Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Better Homes and Gardens and ERA franchise brands, a large corporate relocation business and NRT Incorporated, the largest brokerage in the United States. NRT Incorporated owns and operates brokerages that are typically affiliated with one of the franchise brands owned by Realogy. OWR is also subject to competition from local or regional firms, as well as individual real estate agents.The smaller competing real estate brokerages include Palmer House Properties, Crown Realty and Management, Manning Properties based in Atlanta.All of these companies may have greater financial resources than OWR does, including greater marketing and technology budgets.
24
If competition results in lower average realtor commission rates or lower sales volume by OWR’s realtors, OWR’s revenues will be affected adversely. There is no assurance that OWR will be able to compete successfully against present or future competitors or that competitive pressures faced by OWR will not have a material adverse effect on OWR.
The management of OWR believes that the key competitive factors in the residential real estate segment include the following:
| • | | level of responsiveness to clients; |
| • | | overall quality client service; |
| | | |
| • | | client’s ability to control the home rental/purchase and home sale process; |
| • | | level of commissions charged to sellers or incentives provided to buyers |
Management believes that its focus on the rental market will differentiate itself from firms that are limited to traditional approaches to generating customers.
Intellectual Property
The Company plans to rely on a combination of trademark, copyright, trade secret and patent laws in the United States as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology and our brand. EZJR plans also to rely on copyright laws to protect our future computer programs and our proprietary databases.
On January 21, 2012, the Company purchased from two individuals, one of which is a shareholder of EZJR, a specific proprietary software assetthat calculates an actual dollar value for the consumer’s credit score using a proprietary algorithm.From an intellectual property perspective, there is a crucial difference between computer software and an algorithm. Software is reproduced and disseminated, so it comes under copyright protection. But copyright protection is very difficult, if not impossible, for algorithms. An algorithm is something that is used; it is not meant to be copied or otherwise directly reproduced. As far as protecting an algorithm with a patent, the Company would have to register the invention with the patent office and disclose the algorithm secrets. Because of this, algorithms are often not patented. Instead, they are protected as trade secrets or confidential information. Therefore, this algorithm will be treated by the Company as a trade secret.
25
From time to time, OWR may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. Also, the efforts management has taken to protect its proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm the business, the brand and reputation, and the ability to compete. Also, protecting OWR’s intellectual property rights could be costly and time consuming.
Employees
The Company currently has three employees with one currently on payroll. The Company utilizes an additional independent contractor on a part-time/as needed basis.
Properties
The Company's corporate headquarters are located at: 935 Highway 124 #215, Braselton, GA 30517. The Company does not own any real property.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three month period ending March 31, 2012, and for the period from April 12, 2011 (inception) to March 31, 2012 the Company recognized commission revenue of $0 and $6,314, respectively and commission revenue to a related party of $0 and $24,000, respectively, for total revenues of $0 and $30,314, respectively. After commission expenses of $0 and $9,279, respectively, net commission revenues were $0 and $21,035, respectively. The Company focused its activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 on the merger between EZJR and OWR, the acquisition of a software platform and the commencement of the activities of its subsidiary, OW Management, Inc. (OWM). The Company believes that revenues will re-commence in the three month period ended June 30, 2012.
The Company incurred total operating expenses of $54,175 and $222,623 during the three month period ending March 31, 2012 and the period from inception to March 31, 2012, respectively. Selling costs represent payments to outside agents and were $4,473 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and $27,956 from inception to March 31, 2012. Selling costs – related party represent payments of $1,000 per month to an entity owned by a beneficial owner of our largest shareholder for leads for our services. Major components of general and administrative expenses during the three month period included accounting fees of $3,600, rent of $7,860 and payroll costs of $28,861. These expenses during the period from inception to March 31, 2012 included accounting costs of $52,100, rent expense of $29,116 and payroll costs of $76,438.
26
The Company used net cash in operations of $73,712 and $169,097 during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and the period from inception to March 31, 2012, respectively, net cash in investing activities to purchase furniture and equipment of $12,834 during the period from inception to March 31, 2012; and generated cash of $64,013 and $194,430 from financing activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and the period from inception to March 31, 2012, respectively. All of the funds generated from financing activities were from a beneficial owner of our majority shareholder.
Going Concern
Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.
Therefore, management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company. While the Company is devoting its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Summary of product research and development that we will perform for the term of our plan of operation.
Not applicable.
Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment; as such items are not required by us at this time.
Significant changes in the number of employees
As of March 31, 2012, we had three employees. We are dependent upon our officers and directors for our future business development. As our operations expand, we anticipate the need to hire additional employees, consultants and professionals; however, the exact number is not quantifiable at this time.
27
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2012, the Company had $12,742 of cash and $44,695 of current liabilities, including $28,383 due to related parties.
For the period from inception to March 31, 2012, the Company had only eleven revenue transactions totaling $30,314. Five of the eleven transactions, totaling $8,228, originated from client leads purchased by the Company from a related party. Of the eleven transactions, two transactions totaling $24,000 were with relatives of a beneficial owner of the majority shareholder of the Company and are presented in the financial statements under the statement of operations as related party revenue. The Company had no revenue transactions during the three month period ended March 31, 2012. For periods subsequent to March 31, 2012, management intends to raise additional debt or equity financing to fund ongoing operations and necessary working capital. However, there is no assurance that such financing plans will be successful or be obtained in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’s needs. The Company has depended on its shareholders to provide the liquidity required to maintain its business. To date, there is no other source of financing available to the Company and there is no assurance that required funding will continue to be available to the Company from its shareholders.
EZJR anticipates generating losses and therefore may be unable to continue operations in the future. EZJR anticipates it will require additional capital in order to grow its real estate transaction business by increasing headcount and its budget for 2012. EZJR may use a combination of equity and/or debt instruments to fund its growth strategy or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Revenue Recognition: The Company is a licensed corporate real estate broker in the state of Georgia and contracts with real estate agents to provide customer leads and broker services in return for a participatory share of commissions earned on completed real estate sales and rental transactions. The Company reports the entire commission earned from a sales or rental transaction as revenue on a gross basis. Commission Expenses as presented in the statement of operations represent the variable portion of the gross commission earned that is paid to the Company’s in-State sub-contracted agents (Note 6) who conduct the transactions. The Company recognizes revenue only when the real estate transaction has closed and all of the following criteria have been met: i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; iii) the fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, who is also the sole member of our Board of Directors, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the "material weaknesses" described below under "Management's report on internal control over financial reporting," which are in the process of being remediated as described below under "Management Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses."
29
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and affected by our 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 GAAP. 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 our assets;
- provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our Board of Directors; and
- provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Further, over time control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making its assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on its assessment, management has concluded that we had certain control deficiencies described below that constituted material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2011.

A "material weakness" is defined under SEC rules as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company's internal controls. As a result of management's review of the investigation issues and results, and other internal reviews and evaluations that were completed after the end of quarter related to the preparation of management's report on internal controls over financial reporting required for this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, management concluded that we had material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process consisting of the following:
1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;
2) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;
We do not believe the material weaknesses described above caused any meaningful or significant misreporting of our financial condition and results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in item (2) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods. In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
We plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
31
We believe the remediation measures described above will remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to diligently and vigorously review our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Corporation to provide only the management's report in this quarterly report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us.
Item 1A - Risk Factors
See Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and the discussion in Item 1, above, under "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On March 21, 2012, the Company issued a total of 2,102,813 shares, with a fair value of $0.08 per share, of its common stock to satisfy $168,225 debt obligations. Related party debt holders received 1,477,813 and 312,500 unregistered restricted shares as full satisfaction of $188,225 and $25,000 respectfully owed by the Company. A non-related party received 312,500 unregistered restricted shares in full satisfaction of a $25,000 note payable by the Company. The shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We believed that Section 4(2) was available because the offer and sale did not involve a public offering and there was not general solicitation or general advertising involved in the offer or sale.
The debt holders are sophisticated individuals. Before they received these unregistered securities, they were known to us and our management, through pre-existing business relationships, as a long standing business associates. We did not engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with these transactions.They were provided access to all material information, which they requested and all information necessary to verify such information and was afforded access to our management in connection with this transaction.Theyacquired these securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to us. They understood the ramifications of their actions. The shares of common stock issued contained a legend restricting transferability absent registration or applicable exemption.
