PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
HISTORY
Free Flow, Inc. (the "Company" or "Free Flow") was incorporated on October 28, 2011 under the laws of State of Delaware to enter the green energy industry. The Company began with the idea of developing swimming pool solar pump system to create a blend of green energy harvesting while maintaining the present system. Having received firm enquiries from overseas farmers, Free Flow began with focus on the sale of solar panels to the agriculture sector, providing alternate means of electricity to operate pumps for water wells in India and Pakistan. In August 2014 the Company contracted to acquire as its subsidiary a special purpose entity in India but the contract was not effectuated due to the Sellers’ inability to comply with the terms of the contract, viz-a-viz to provide Audited Financial statements of the entity being acquired.
In February 2015, the company incorporated a subsidiary, Promedaff, Inc. and purchased a skin care product line and formulations for $2,000,000 against a promissory note. An e commerce platform was set up for sales and marketing. The efforts did not bear any success and the entire inventory was sold through the Seller and the Promissory Note was cancelled and marked “VOID”.
In October 2015, the company entered into a Sales Contract (the “Sales Contract”) pursuant to which the Company contracted to sell to Salim's Paper Private Limited, Jaipur, India (the “Purchaser”), with a principal place of business at SP-6 SKS Industrial Area, Reengus Sikar, Rajasthan, India 330 404; Tissue Paper comprising 30,000 Metric Tons (MT), to be shipped in five (5) years at the rate of 6,000 MT per annum. Shipments to commence within twelve (12) months from the date of signing of the Contract at a price to be determined on a quarterly basis based on the current index price for wood pulp as quoted on the Chicago Indes by FOEX Indexes, Ltd. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Contract the Purchaser has caused a pre-advice from their commercial bankers for a revolving commercial letter of credit in favor of the Registrant

In connection with effectuation of the Sales Contract, the Company worked to set up a paper manufacturing facility in the South East Asia or Middle East. The efforts to set up the manufacturing did not succeed and hence the sales contract expired and was declared cancelled with mutual consent of the Buyers and the Company.
In February 2016 the Company incorporated a subsidiary named JK Sales Corp. (the name was changed on December 7, 2017 to Accurate Auto Parts, Inc.) and began operating business of selling used auto parts from a recycling facility in King George, Virginia. The company thus begun realizing revenues from its operations. The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.
Around July 2017 the Company learnt that the landlord filed a bankruptcy hence the long term lease was automatically terminated and the Company went into a pause mode. In April, 2018 the Company entered into a contract with the bank (who took over the ownership of the property) to purchase the property for $700,000.00.
In October 2018 the Company, singly and jointly with its CEO, Mr. Sabir Saleem, executed, as co-signers, a guarantee on behalf of its subsidiary, namely Accurate Auto Parts, Inc. against a term loan to Accurate Auto Parts, Inc. by River Valley Bank, (name has been changed to Incredible Bank) Minnesota in the amount of $900,100.00.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Since the new management took over the company’s control on March 13, 2014, from S. Douglas Henderson, former CEO, it has remained focused in developing the solar energy business along with pharmaceutical (skin care product line), neither one of which had produced any revenues. However, the management continued its efforts to deploy “Solar Well” operation in India and Pakistan, due to economic instability no contract could be concluded.
Concurrent to the above efforts, a few prospects had shown keen interest in promotion of HYGIENiQ to the automotive industry. Approx.35% of the inventory was sold and paid for during the first quarter of 2016.
Upon taking over, the Company appointed Ferdinando (Fred) Ferrara as a Director and Sabir Saleem as CEO. There was no family relationship or other relationship between the Seller and the Purchaser.
On November 25, 2020, Mr. Shah Wali Khan was appointed to serve as a director of the Company. In addition to his management and oversight role on the Board of Directors, Mr. Khan will use his business management skills to assist with the planned global expansion of Free Flow’s subsidiary operations.

On December 22, 2020 upon acquiring the assets of the Mineral, VA facility, the Company appointed Dr. Melody Jackson as a director of the Company. Dr. Jackson is a management expert, college faculty member, and a researcher with over 20 years of management and supervisory experience that includes an executive level of management for functions such as Strategic Management, Project Management, Human Resources Management, and Environmental management with over 7 years of service as a Management Professor.

As consideration thereof, Bills of Exchange are lodged with the Escrow Agent. The effectuation of the contract (the effective date of the closing of the transaction) was subject to the Sellers delivering the audited financial statements to the Company; which has since been cancelled due to Sellers failure in providing the audited financial statements.
INCORPORATION OF SUBSIDIARIES
On January 24, 2015, Free Flow, Inc. incorporated Promedaff, Inc. in the Commonwealth of Virginia as its wholly-owned subsidiary. This subsidiary purchased a skin care product line and set up an e commerce platform for sale. The marketing efforts did not succeed; thus the entire inventory was sold back to the Sellers. Promedaff, Inc. was looking into developing other business. In October 2016, the name of Promedaff, Inc. was changed to Motors & Metals, Inc. with the objectives to develop export business. A contract was signed with a United Emirates company. A trial shipment of approximately $12,000 was made from Germany but the business could not be continued due to poor management of the Agent that resulted from severe illness of the principal agent However, in March 2019, Motors & Metals, Inc. received a letter of intent from an overseas customer indicating their willingness to buy 36,000 tons of processed scrap metal at market price.
Progress discussed below under “Plan of Operations”, see Item 7, Part II.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
OUR BUSINESS IS A NOT YET STABLISED AS THERE ARE STILL “THING TO DO” AND THEREFORE RISKY.
We have not had a complete smooth year 2020; mainly due to COVID 19 that led to scarcity of skilled as well as unskilled workers. Potential investors should be made aware of the risk and difficulties encountered by a new enterprise, especially in view of the intense scarcity to find skilled workers.
WE HAVE HISTORICALLY INCURRED LOSSES AND CANNOT ASSURE INVESTORS AS TO FUTURE PROFITABILITY.
Like most business that are dependent on a number of factors including but not limited to market conditions, and acts of God, like COVID 19 there can be no assurance to investors for future profitability. We had historically incurred losses from operations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we have recognized a profit of $850,610; which sum is shown as “other income” and has resulted from the dismantling of automobiles and recovering of useable OEM parts, while the operating results show a loss of $154,737. This phenomena is associated in the business model the Company has adopted. It takes an average of three years to liquidate the inventory and thus get on to the stabilized level of operations at which juncture the Company is expected to have positive cash flow from operations. Our ability to reach this level depends on successfully implementing our marketing and sales activities, all of which are subject to many risks beyond our control. Even if we become profitable on an annual basis, we cannot assure you that our profitability will be sustainable or increase on a periodic basis.
In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm's report on the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2019 includes a "going concern" explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in other than the normal course of business may be at amounts significantly different from those in the financial statements included in this registration statement.
WE HAVE A LACK OF LONG REVENUE HISTORY AND INVESTORS CANNOT VIEW OUR PAST PERFORMANCE SINCE WE HAVE LIMITED HISTORY.
We were formed on October 28, 2011, for engaging in any lawful business and any new enterprise. We have had limited revenues in the last nine years. We have only had operational activities during the last three to four years. We are cash surplus only to a limited extent and hence can be classified marginable cash surplus, and the business
8
effort is in an early development stage. We must be regarded as a new or developmental venture, and may be subject to unforeseen costs, expenses and problems. As a development venture, we may not be able to adequately forecast and budget our costs. It should be assumed that any or all these events could occur, with the result that anyone, if significant enough could prevent the proposed business from being successful and potential investors could lose all their investment.
BASED ON OUR CURRENT CASH RESERVES, WE WILL HAVE RELATIVELY SMALL OPERATIONAL BUDGET FOR THE OPERATIONS WHICH WE CANNOT EXPAND WITHOUT ADDITIONAL RAISING OF CAPITAL.
If we are unable to continue to generate enough revenue to cover our operational costs, we will need to seek additional sources of funds. Currently, we have no committed source for any additional funds as of date hereof. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan and could fail in business because of these uncertainties.
WE CANNOT GIVE ANY ASSURANCES THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO RAISE ENOUGH CAPITAL TO FUND ACQUISITIONS AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.
We will need to raise additional funds to support not only our budget, but our expansion operations. We cannot make any assurances that we will be able to raise such funds or whether we would be able to raise such funds with terms that are favorable to us. We may seek to borrow money from lenders at commercial rates, but such lenders will probably be at higher than bank rates, which higher rates could, depending on the amount borrowed, make the net operating income insufficient to cover the interest.
WE MAY IN THE FUTURE ISSUE MORE SHARES WHICH COULD DILUTE THE PERCENTAGE OF OWNERSHIP OF STOCKHOLDERS.
We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services out of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance dilute the percentage of shares holding of shareholders.
ONE OF OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS IS A MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER OF THE COMPANY. AS SUCH THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF HIM CONTROLLING THE COMPANY TO THE DETRIMENT OF OUTSIDERS.
Mr. Saleem, President, CEO and Director, through direct and indirect ownership, is sole owner and shareholder of Redfield Holdings, Ltd. ("Redfield"), the majority shareholder of our Company. As such, he will be able to control the operations and the direction of the Company with very little outside influence.
Mr. Saleem does not hold direct shares of common stock of the Company. However, as an officer, director and beneficial shareholder of Redfield Holdings, Ltd. he can vote the shares of Redfield, our majority shareholder. As such, he is the beneficial holder of the 17,990,000 common shares and 10,000 Preferred Shares - Series A, held by Redfield. Through his ownership in Redfield, Mr. Saleem controls majority of the voting stock of the Company.
9
WE WILL DEPEND UPON MANAGEMENT, BUT WE WILL HAVE LIMITED PARTICIPATION OF MANAGEMENT.
We currently have three individual who are serving as our officers and directors for the Company, two of them on a full-time basis and one director who is not on full time basis. The full time directors are also acting as our officer. None of the officers have an employment agreement with the Company. We will be heavily dependent upon their skills, talents, and abilities, as well as several consultants to us, to implement our business plan, and may, from time to time, find that the inability of the officers and directors to devote their full-time attention to our business results in a delay in progress toward implementing our business plan. Because investors will not be able to manage our business, they should critically assess all the information concerning our officers and directors.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE NOT EMPLOYED BY US AND MAY CAUSE CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS AS TO CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN.
In the future they may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities engaged in a variety of businesses. Thus, our officers and directors may have potential conflicts including their time and efforts involved in participation with other business entities. In some circumstances this conflict may arise between their fiduciary duties to us and their fiduciary duties to Redfield's business divisions. It is possible that in this situation their judgment maybe more consistent with their fiduciary duties to these ventures and may be detrimental to our interests.
Presently there is no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us business opportunities which come to their attention. Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an officer and director of another company. We have no intention of merging with or acquiring business opportunity from any affiliate or officer or director.
We do not know of any reason other than outside business interests that would prevent them from devoting full-time to our Company when the business may demand such full-time participation.
WE MAY DEPEND UPON OUTSIDE ADVISORS, WHO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON REASONABLE TERMS AND AS NEEDED.
To supplement the business experience of our officers and directors, we may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. Our Board, without any input from stockholders, will make the selection of any such advisors. Furthermore, we anticipate that such persons will be engaged on an "as needed" basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to us. In the event we consider it necessary to hire outside advisors, we may elect to hire persons who are affiliates if they are able to provide the required services.
WE HAVE AGREED TO INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AS IS PROVIDED BY DELAWARE STATUTE.
Delaware Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay us therefore
10
if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that we will be unable to recoup.
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR STOCK
OUR STOCK IS THINLY TRADED AND, AS A RESULT, YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL AT OR NEAR ASK PRICES OR AT ALL IF YOU NEED TO LIQUIDATE YOUR SHARES.
The shares of Free Flow common stock were approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board on April 3, 2013, and, as result, they are thinly-traded, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing the Company's common shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that the Company is a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if it came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as Free Flow or purchase or recommend the purchase of any of the Company's Securities until such time as the Company became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in the Company's Securities is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on Securities price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for the Company's common securities will develop or be sustained, or that any trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, the Company can give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if they need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their securities of the Company.
THE REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS BY SEC AND FINRA MAY DISCOURAGE THE TRADABILITY OF OUR SECURITIES.
We are a "penny stock" company. Our securities currently trade in the OTC Pink-sheet market and are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions with assets more than $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth more than $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted several rules to regulate “penny stocks”. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market
11
for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be able to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. Inventory in penny stocks have limited remedies in the event of violations of penny stock rules. While the courts are always available to seek remedies for fraud against the Company, most, if not all, brokerages require their customers to sign mandatory arbitration agreements in conjunctions with opening trading accounts. Such arbitration may be through an independent arbiter. Investors may file a complaint with FINRA against the broker allegedly at fault, and FINRA may be the arbiter, under FINRA rules. Arbitration rules generally limit discovery and provide more expedient adjudication, but also provide limited remedies in damages usually only the actual economic loss in the account. Investors should understand that if a fraud case is filed against a company in the courts it may be vigorously defended and may take years and great legal expenses and costs to pursue, which may not be economically feasible for small investors.
The fact that we are a penny stock company will cause many brokers to refuse to handle transactions in the stocks, and may discourage trading activity and volume, or result in wide disparities between bid and ask prices. These may cause investors significant illiquidity of the stock at a price at which they may wish to sell or in the opportunity to complete a sale. Investors will have no effective legal remedies for these liquidity issues.
WE WILL PAY NO FORESEEABLE DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE.
We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not ever anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. Investors whose investment criteria is dependent on dividends should not invest in our common stock.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR AUDITED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED HEREIN.
THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, SUCH AS STATEMENTS RELATING TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, PLANS, OBJECTIVES, FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS. THESE STATEMENTS RELATE TO EXPECTATIONS CONCERNING MATTERS THAT ARE NOT HISTORICAL FACTS. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS REFLECT OUR CURRENT VIEWS AND EXPECTATIONS BASED LARGELY UPON THE INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US AND ARE SUBJECT TO INHERENT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. ALTHOUGH WE BELIEVE OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE BASED ON REASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS, THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. BY MAKING THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WE DO NOT UNDERTAKE TO UPDATE THEM IN ANY MANNER EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY OUR DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS IN FILINGS WE MAKE WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM OUR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM’S REPORT ON THE COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 INCLUDES A “GOING CONCERN” EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH THAT DESCRIBES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT THE COMPANY’S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Auto Parts Division:
The auto parts business is a phenomena that must be well understood before plan of operation is discussed. Auto parts are bought or sold when there is a need for them. Reducing price or encouraging customers to “buy one and get one free” is not applicable in this line of business. Thus the list price of the parts are more or less firm and if they are priced/listed in line with the prices quoted by other competitors they do sell at the listed price. The only uncertain element like in pharmaceutical industry is that they are sold when needed but must be readily available
14
when need emerges. These auto parts do not have any shelf life, these are neither subject to change in fashion nor are perishable and they do eventually sell.
Keeping the above fact in mind, the management has discovered that the greater the inventory than the greater is the probability that it would generate sales. An in-house analysis by management has revealed that approximately 25% of the inventory in hand sells on an annual basis. It was therefore imperative that the inventory be increased to MSRP cruising level of $5,000,000 to achieve a $1,250,000 + in sales which would thereby generate a cash surplus in net profits of the company. With the acquisition of the second facility, FFLO’s inventory level of MSRP has increased to the desired level of over $5,000,000.00 against the book value of $1,778,824. It is thus anticipated that the annual sales would be over $1,000,000 during the year 2021.
FFLO has raised its bar to build inventory to MSRP of $10,000,000 and is actively seeking additional $1,000,000 funding to build inventory.
During the year 2020, there were enough automobiles available for dismantling and a greater number could have been purchased, but the company was not successful in finding skilled labor thus resulting in a slow-down of inventory build-up. It is taking more time to process than what could have been achieved if more skilled labor was available. Also due to COVID19 the availability of wrecked automobiles has diminished having resulted from less automobiles on the road, also people who have end of life automobiles restrained from inviting the collection people to come to them to pick up the vehicles.
Motors & Metal, Inc. – Progress discussed as under:
Having received the letter of intent from a bonafide buyer the Company began sourcing scrap metal for export and after nearly six month of vigorous efforts concluded that none of the existing processors were prepared to offer the shredded steel. The Company was already processing scrap metal but in very limited quantities which were not enough for export trade.
The management began to work on expanding its own scrap metal processing capabilities and upon getting a reconfirmation of zoning from the County Office, Motors & Metals, Inc., in January of 2020 received its license to operate as “Scrap Metal Processor”. The management received several quotations from various equipment manufacturers and is in the process of negotiating purchase of machinery so that it is able to process the desired quantity of scrap metal for export.
Upon the news being made public, the Company has received from other qualified buyer abroad “expression of interest” to purchase scrap metal. The annual sales of scrap metal are expected to exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). The Company hopes that it will be able to complete its expansion plan within next 12 months.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $411,694 from sales. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $420,538 from its operational activities. The decline is primarily due to slow demand due to COVID19.
15
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred a total of operational expenses of $393,254 which included a depreciation allowance of $54,583. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred operational expenses of $430,604 including a depreciation allowance of $59,018. The decrease of appx. $37,354 was primarily a result of decrease in administrative expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a total gain of $1,000,347 on account of inventory valuation but did sustain an operating loss of $154,137 as compared to a net book loss of $121,810 during the year ended December 31, 2019. Now that the inventory has been built to the targeted level of MSRP of $5,000,000 approximately, it is expected that the sales for the year 2021 should exceed $1,000,000 thereby reducing the operating loss.
LIQUIDITY
At December 31, 2020, the Company has a total current assets of $3,662,186 consisting of $83,516 in cash, $202,669 in accounts receivable and $1,778,824 in inventories and work in progress at cost. At December 31, 2020, total current liabilities were $951,518 consisting of $9,829 in accounts payable and $1,689 from related parties and notes payable $940,000 and accrued interest of $0.

At December 31, 2019, total current liabilities were $22,030 consisting of $11,687 in accounts payable, notes payable to related party of $10,343 and accrued interest of $0.
SHORT TERM
On a short-term basis, the Company has generated marginal revenues sufficient to cover operations. For long term needs the Company will be dependent on receipt, if any, from the growth in sales.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's capitalization is 100,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 20,000,000 preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
The Company does not have capital sufficient to meet its expansion Capital needs. The Company will have to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs.
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by the Company's management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover the Company's expansion budget.
The Company has completed of a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) under rule 506 (c) of the SEC Act of 1933 for a sum of Nineteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars $19,500,000 against issuance of convertible preferred shares to augment its needs for expansion and acquisitions of existing, profitable Auto Parts companies in USA and Canada The management is in discussion with a few Investment Bankers, results are expected in due course of time. The Company or its Management does not guarantee if this PPM will be result in attracting subscriptions and that it will be successful.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

FREE FLOW, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Free Flow, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on October 28, 2011 under the laws of State of Delaware to enter the green energy industry. It began with the idea of developing swimming pool solar pump system. The solar energy business became very volatile due to constant decline in prices of solar panels. The Company could not conclude any business in the solar energy sector. In February 2016 the Company formed a subsidiary namely JK Sales, Corp. (name changed to “Accurate Auto Sales, Inc.”) and began the business of selling used auto parts.
Accurate Auto Sales, Inc., at a 19+ acre facility that it now owns, in King George, VA, buys end of life and wrecked automobiles from Insurance Auctions and disassembles the same to parts. After the dis-assembly these parts are labelled and stored at its warehouse, the inventory is uploaded and sold through a very sophisticated internet network. The primary customers are auto body and mechanic shops.
In December 2020 the Company acquired the Assets of Inside Auto Parts, Inc. incorporated in 1993, which is centrally located between Richmond, Charlottesville, and Fredericksburg, Virginia with easy access to main transport routs. The salvage dealership, specializing in used foreign car and truck parts has been acquired by Free Flow, Inc. subsidiary named “FFLO - Inside Auto Parts, Inc.” and has 21,953.9 square feet fully enclosed and another 17,392.35 square feet under roof enclosed on 3 sides, all located on 16 acres of land in Mineral, Virginia now owned by Free Flow, Inc.
Current management of Inside Auto Parts, Inc. will remain in place to manage FFLO – Inside Auto Parts, Inc.
Subsequent to receipt of an LOI from an overseas buyer the Company’s plan to set up a “Scrap Metal Processing” plant is in place and funding for equipment is being sought. Management forecasts that the scrap metal processing would add another $10 to $12 million in gross sales.

ACCOUNTING BASIS
The statements were prepared following generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America consistently applied. USE OF ESTIMATES Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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 revenues and expenses.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
23
Regarding the Aging of Trade Accounts Receivable and Trade Accounts Payable, the industry standard is very strange in this business. Often, the aging could go to 2 to 3 years and the receivables are good. The reason is that when the customer buys a part which is a firm sale, if they use the part which was purchased, they pay within 60 to 75 days. But if the part did not get used for whatever reason, and they failed to return the part within 30 days, then as a courtesy, the Sellers, does not demand payment so that new sales of other parts continue. Thus, no forceful demand is made if it is a running account and cash is coming in against new sales. The management learnt of this trait after the business was acquired. There were receivables as well as payables that went back to 2 years. Even in the new acquisition that the Company has recently done, while we did not assume any trade liabilities or receivables, the same fact has been observed in the Seller’s books of accounts. The management has not suffered any significant bad debts.
Trade Accounts Receivable: Balance is $
The company did not make any provision for such a long outstanding receivable because (a) these buyers are generally repair shops; (b) when used for the customers, these repair shops send the payment within 60 days; (c) when not used, they are still in possession of the parts until the next purchase as a possible way the truck mileage for the return. When the parts are not returned, our company policy is not to ship anything else, until the previous outstanding sales invoice is paid.
In the past 3 years, this company did not have significant bad debt.
Trade Accounts Payable: Balance is $
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated net of depreciation. Equipment and fixtures are being depreciated using the
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Initial Measurement
Intangible asset acquisitions in which the consideration given is cash are measured by the amount of cash paid, which generally includes the transaction costs of the asset acquisition. However, if the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of noncash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement is based on either the cost which shall be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable.
Subsequent Measurement
The company accounts for its intangible assets under the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic ("ASC") 350-30-35 "Intangibles--Goodwill and Other--General Intangibles Other than Goodwill-Subsequent Measurement". Under this method the company is required to test an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment on at least an annual basis. This is done by comparing the asset's fair value with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the asset's fair value, the difference in
24
those amounts is recognized as an impairment loss. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 740, "Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those 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 the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
o Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.
o Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
o Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of this instrument. In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 "Fair Value Option" was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.
In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S.
25
GAAP and IFRS" ("ASU No. 2011-04"). ASU No. 2011-04 provides guidance which is expected to result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. It changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. It is not intended for this update to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted. This update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU No. 2011-05"). In ASU No. 2011-05, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-05 do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. They also do not change the presentation of related tax effects, before related tax effects, or the portrayal or calculation of earnings per share. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. This update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, "Intangibles -- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)" ("ASU No. 2011-08"). In ASU No. 2011-08, an entity is permitted to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. The ASU's objective is to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-08 are effective for annual and interim goodwill and impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The Company is evaluating the requirements of ASU
No. 2011-08 and has not yet determined whether a revised approach to evaluation of goodwill impairment will be used in future assessments. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2011-08 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2020 the Company had a net profit of $850,610. Net operating loss carry-forward, expires twenty years from the date the loss was incurred.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:
Net deferred income tax asset - The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The valuation allowance is reviewed annually. When circumstances change, and which cause a change in management's judgment about the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN
Future issuances of the Company's equity or debt securities will be required for the Company to continue to finance its operations and continue as a going concern. The Company's present revenues are marginally sufficient to meet operating expenses.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a) - 15(e)) are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a public company in the reports that if files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed.
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a public company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2018, the Chief Executive Officer/Principal Accounting Officer has founded such controls and procedures to be ineffective as discussed further below.
MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
Free Flow's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company's receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Free Flow's management and directors; and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on Free Flow's financial statements.
Our Chief Executive Officer/Principal Accounting Officer, who is the same individual, has identified certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relating to a shortage of accounting and reporting personnel due to limited financial resources and the size of our Company, as detailed below:
(1) The Company currently does not have but is in the process of developing formally documented accounting policies and procedures, which includes establishing a well-defined process for financial reporting.
31
(2) Due to the limited size of our accounting department, we currently lack the resources to handle complex accounting transactions. We believe this deficiency could lead to errors in the presentation and disclosure of financial information in our annual, quarterly, and other filings.
(3) As is the case with many companies of similar size, we currently have a lack of segregation of duties in the accounting department. Until our operations expand and additional cash flow is generated from operations, a complete segregation of duties within our accounting function will not be possible.
Considering the nature and extent of our current operations and any risks or errors in financial reporting under current operations and the fact that we have been a small business with limited employees, such items caused a weakness in internal controls involving the areas disclosed above.
Our Chief Executive Office/Principal Accounting Officer has concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2015, due to the existence of the material weaknesses noted above that we have yet to fully remediate.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to permanent rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Free Flow, Inc. officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Delaware Revised Statutes and the bylaws. Under the Delaware Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit the directors' immunity. Excepted from that immunity are:
35
(a) a willful failure to deal fairly with us or our shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that it will indemnify the directors to the fullest extent not prohibited by Delaware law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with the directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification:
(a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested under Delaware law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Our bylaws provide that it will advance to any person who was, or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of us, or is or was serving at the request of us as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under the bylaws or otherwise.
