PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
HISTORY
Free Flow USA, Inc. (the "Company" or "Free Flow") was incorporated as Free Flow, Inc. 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
1
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 had 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. The 19+ acre property in King George, VA from where the Company operated its auto parts business, was purchased.
In December 2020 the Company acquired over $2,000,000 worth of Assets of a second recycling facility named Inside Auto Parts, Inc. incorporated in 1993, which was 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 had been acquired by Free Flow USA, Inc.’s subsidiary named “FFLO - Inside Auto Parts, Inc.” and had 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. The facility was sold back to the original sellers in early January 2022.
The Company's capitalization is 100,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 20,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share.
Of the 20,000,000 authorized preferred shares, the Company has designated:
10,000 shares as "Preferred Shares - Series A". Each share of "Preferred Shares - Series A" carries voting rights equal to ten thousand (10,000) votes. In other words, the 10,000 "Preferred Shares - Series A" collectively have a voting right equal to one hundred million (100,000,000) common shares of the Corporation.
500,000 shares as “Preferred Shares – Series B”. These preferred shares - Series "B" was assigned the following preferences:
a) Each share to carry one vote.
b) Each share will be redeemable with a 365-day written notice to the company.
c) Each share will be junior to any debt incurred by the Company.
2
d) The redemption value will be the par value at which such "preferred shares - series B" are bought by the subscriber.
e) Each share will carry a dividend right at par with the common shares.
500,000 shared as “Preferred Shares – Series C”. These preferred shares – Series, “C” was assigned the following preferences:

b) Each share will be redeemable upon repayment of Loan(s) made by River Valley Bank to Accurate Auto Parts, Inc.
c) Each share will be junior to any debt incurred by the Company.
d) The redemption value will be the par value at which such "preferred shares - series C" are bought by the subscriber.
e) Each share will carry a dividend right at par with the common shares.
On December 31, 2014 the Company had a Note outstanding in the principal amount of $330,000 plus interest payable to GS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. On March 31, 2015, by mutual consent this note, and accrued interest was converted to 330,000 preferred shares - Series "B".
On March 31, 2015 an amount of $58,000 was subscribed by Redfield Holdings, Ltd. by cancellation of a Note against the issuance of 9,700 shares of preferred shares - Series "A". These shares were issued to Redfield Holding, Ltd. thus making a total of entire designated preferred shares - Series "A" shares to Redfield Holdings, Ltd. Each share of preferred shares - Series "A" carries voting right equal to 10,000 common shares.
On November 22, 2011, the Company issued a total of 25,000,000 shares of common stock to one director for cash in the amount of $0.0008 per share for a total of $20,000.

On August 1, 2014, the Company issued 300 Preferred Shares--Series A stock issued to Redfield Holdings, Ltd. for $1 each for a total of $300.
On March 31, 2015, the Company issued 9,700 Preferred Shares—Series A issued to Redfield Holdings, Ltd. for a total sum of $58,000.00.
On June 30, 2019, the Company issued 21,000 common shares – under rule 144 for a sum of $14,490.00 to an existing shareholder.
On January 1, 2019, at the request of the lending bank, namely, River Valley Bank, by mutual consent of Redfield Holdings, Ltd. (owned by Mr. Sabir Saleem) the debt in the amount of $470,935 was booked as capital in the subsidiary entity, namely Accurate Auto Parts, Inc. and 470,935 Preferred shares Series “C” were issued thereagainst. Series “C” Preferred shares are redeemable anytime with the concurrence (approval) of the lending bank. This action was taken to provide comfort to the lending bank that the subsidiary company was adequately capitalized.
As of February 28, 2022, the Company had 24,841,900 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 10,000 Preferred Shares - Series A, 330,000 Series B, and 470,935 Series C shares issued and outstanding.

On May 24, 2024 a resolution was adopted by majority shareholders whereby the common and preferred shares and debt, if any, held in the name of Redfield Holdings, Ltd. were transferred to the order of Mr. Sabir Saleem, individually. The reason for this action as stated by Mr. Saleem was that Redfield Holdings, Ltd. is 100% owned by Mr. Sabir Saleem and Mr. Saleem did not find any reason to have an extra layer in the ownership structure. The original reason for having such structure was in anticipation that there might be additional investors who may want to invest in Redfield Holdings, Ltd. for FFLO or any other projects.
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.
On December 27, 2021, for personal reasons, Dr. Melody Jackson resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of Free Flow USA, Inc.
On August 26, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the addition of Mr. Ravinder Tikoo, M.D., as a member of the Company's Board of Directors and was appointed him as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
PURCHASE OF SHARES OF SKY ENERGY (PVT) LTD., INDIA.
On August 7, 2014, the Company entered into a stock purchase contract with Riyazuddin Kazi and Ahteshamuddin Kagzi to purchase 225,000 shares for a sum of $4,005,000 of Sky Energy (Pvt) Ltd. being 90% of the issued and outstanding shares. As consideration thereof, Bills of Exchange are lodged with the
4
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 Seller’s 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 businesses. In October 2016, the name of Promedaff, Inc. was changed to Motors & Metals, Inc. with the objective of developing an 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 the 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 is discussed below under “Plan of Operations”, see Item 7, Part II.
On September 11, 2019, a subsidiary was incorporated for the purpose of acquiring intellectual property related to rotary engines but the transaction did not materialize. This subsidiary remained in good standing. On November 24, 2020, the name of this subsidiary was changed to “FFLO – Inside Auto Parts, Inc.” and was thus used to facilitate the acquisition of assets of Inside Auto Parts, Inc., as described in the foregoing paragraphs.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The occurrence of any of the following risks or unknown risks and uncertainties may adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
DUE TO FACTORS BEYOND HUMAN CONTROL, OUR BUSINESS IS A NOT STABLISED AND THERE ARE STILL “THING TO HAPPEN” AND THEREFORE RISKY.
The assets of the operating company were sold in March of 2024. All long-term secured debts were paid-off. The company did focus on trading activities and did a very small revenue generation. The management continued to make efforts to acquire operating business(ess) and signed a few memorandums of understandings. Upon conducting the due-diligences, none of the prospects passed the due-diligence. While the efforts still continue, the potential investors should be aware of the risk associated with the company that does not have significant revenues. Although, the existing available cash resources are expected to facilitate a smooth existence for two or more years even if the revenues do not increase, but there could always be a risk of falling short in cash resources.
WE HAVE HISTORICALLY INCURRED LOSSES AND CANNOT ASSURE INVESTORS AS TO FUTURE PROFITABILITY.
Like most businesses that are dependent on a number of factors including but not limited to market conditions, and acts of God, like COVID-19, and political turmoil in the buyers’ country there can be no assurance to investors for future profitability.
WE HAVE A LACK OF LONG REVENUE HISTORY AND INVESTORS CANNOT VIEW OUR PAST PERFORMANCE SINCE WE HAVE A LIMITED HISTORY.
We were formed on October 28, 2011, to engage in any lawful business and any new enterprise. We have had moderate revenues in the last thirteen years. We have only had operational activities
6
during the last five to six years; during which period there has been more than one interruption including Covid19 pandemic. We are cash surplus only to a limited extent and hence can be classified as marginal cash surplus, and the business effort continues as if in an early development stage. It should be assumed that any or all of these events could occur, and 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 A 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 of the super voting shares of the Company. As such, he will be able to control the operations and the direction of the Company with very little outside influence.
WE WILL DEPEND UPON MANAGEMENT, BUT WE WILL HAVE LIMITED PARTICIPATION OF MANAGEMENT.
We currently have three individuals who are serving as our officers and directors for the Company, one of them on a full-time basis and the other two are independent directors who are not on full time basis. The full-time director is also acting as our officers. 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
7
time to time, find that the inability of the officers and directors to devote their full-time attention to our business that could result 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 INTEREST AS TO CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES IN WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE.
In the future, they may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling shareholders 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 their other businesses. It is possible that in this situation their judgment may be 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 that come to their attention. Excluded from this duty would be opportunities that 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 opportunities from any affiliate 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 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, the Company up-listed to QB in April 2021 and decided to revert back to Pink Sheets to save the OTC QB fees. The Company is 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 that 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 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 of 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.
9
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 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.

15

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Free Flow USA Inc & Subsidiaries
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Free Flow USA Inc & Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or are required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
/s/ BCRG Group
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

FREE FLOW USA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Free Flow USA, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on October 28, 2011, under the laws of the State of Delaware to enter the green energy industry. It began with the idea of developing a swimming pool solar pump system. The solar energy business became very volatile due to the constant decline in the 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., sold its 19+ acre facility in March 2024 and began concentrating on international sales of scrap metal through its wholly owned subsidiary, namely Motor & Metals, Inc.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and are reported in United States dollars.
USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include but are not limited to revenue recognition, the allowance for bad debts, income taxes, and unrecognized tax benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with financial institutions without any restrictions. The Company maintains its cash with high-quality financial institutions.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES
Accounts receivables are derived from products and services delivered to customers and are stated at their net realizable value. Each month, the Company reviews its receivables on a customer-by-customer basis and evaluates whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on any known or perceived collection issues. Any balances that are eventually deemed uncollectable are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
F-6
ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Receivables are reported as a net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist, and a loss rate for each pool is determined using historical credit loss experience as the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current conditions (e.g. management’s evaluation of the aging of customer's receivables balances and the financial condition of our customers) as well as changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions, such as changes in the unemployment rate, gross domestic product growth rate or credit default rates.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and receivables. We control our exposure to credit risk associated with these instruments by (i) placing cash and cash equivalents with several major financial institutions, (ii) holding high-quality financial instruments, and (iii) maintaining strict policies over credit extension that include credit evaluations, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost less of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements that extend the useful life of the related asset are capitalized. As property or equipment is sold or retired, the applicable cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss thereon is recognized. Work in progress consists primarily of building. Depreciation is calculated using a straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of Equipment and fixtures are 5 years.
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.
F-7
If the carrying amount exceeds the asset's fair value, the difference in 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.
F-8
INVENTORIES
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value can be influenced by current anticipation demand. If the actual demand is lower than our estimates, additional reductions to inventory carrying value would be necessary in the period such a determination is made.
ACQUISITION
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (‘ASC ‘) 805, Business Combinations. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Purchase accounting results in the assets and liabilities of an acquired business generally being recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative-related costs in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company performs valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocates the purchase price to its respective assets and liabilities. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provision of this guidance, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period and reduced for actual forfeitures in the period they occur. Stock-based compensation is included as consulting expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company has adopted ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from service-related agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligation in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has implemented all applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued 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, 2024, the Company had a net gain of $

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 on December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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, 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.

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 filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the 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 found such controls and procedures to be ineffective as discussed further below.
MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report, using the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission. The term “internal control over financial reporting” , as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, means a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive officer and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and 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
17
(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.
(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 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 on Form 10-K 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 an exemption for non-accelerated filers from internal control audit requirements of section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year that ended December 31, 2024, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
