SEC reporting and capital markets analyst

Houston American delays its Q3 2025 10-Q tied to a reverse acquisition.

Houston American Energy Corp. has notified the market that its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 will be filed late under Rule 12b-25. The company attributes the delay to the complexities of preparing consolidated financial statements and notes arising from a July 2025 share exchange agreement, which is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition, and to the added work required to complete XBRL interactive data.

The filing states that management believes additional time is necessary to ensure complete, thorough and accurate financial statements, edgarization and XBRL processing. Under Rule 12b-25, this process provides a short, defined extension period rather than an open-ended delay, which helps maintain reporting continuity while the post-transaction financial reporting is finalized.

The company also discloses that it expects a significant change in results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended March 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 because the share exchange was treated as a reverse acquisition and the financials reflect the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The actual direction and magnitude of these changes will only be clear once the Form 10-Q is filed.
