Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Vivakor, Inc. notified investors that it will file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026 later than the prescribed due date for smaller reporting companies of August 14, 2026. The company cites delays in completing its financial statements and related disclosures and is still compiling information and reviewing the financial statements for inclusion in the report. Vivakor anticipates filing the report within the five-day extension period permitted under Rule 12b-25, but explicitly notes there can be no assurance it will meet that timeframe. The company expects results for the quarter to differ significantly from the prior-year period, with higher total revenues and gross profit, lower operating expenses driven by reduced depreciation and amortization, and a reduced net loss attributable to Vivakor, Inc., also affected by changes in interest expense and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities.

Positive

• Expected operating improvement: Vivakor anticipates higher total revenues and gross profit, lower operating expenses, and a smaller net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared with the same period in 2025.

Negative

• Late quarterly filing: The Form 10-Q for June 30, 2026 was not filed by the August 14, 2026 due date, and management states there is no assurance it will be filed within the five-day extension.

Rule 12b-25 regulatory

"seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b)"

Rule 12b-25 is an SEC filing provision that lets a company notify regulators and the public that it cannot file a required periodic report (like a quarterly or annual report) on time and explains the reason for the delay. For investors, the notice is a formal heads-up that financial information will arrive late—similar to a company calling to say it will be late turning in homework—so it signals increased uncertainty and may affect trading and risk assessments until the filing is available.

"we expect net loss attributable to Vivakor, Inc. to decrease"

operating expenses financial

"We also expect operating expenses to decrease"

Operating expenses are the routine costs a company pays to keep its business running day to day — things like salaries, rent, utilities, office supplies, and marketing. Investors watch them because they reduce the profit available to shareholders and reveal how efficiently a company runs; lower or well-controlled operating expenses (relative to revenue) are like trimming household bills to improve savings.

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

	(a)	The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
☒	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
	(c)	The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Vivakor, Inc. (the “Registrant”) was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026 (the “Quarterly Report”) by the August 14, 2026 filing date applicable to smaller reporting companies due to a delay experienced by the Registrant in completing its financial statements and other disclosures in the Quarterly Report. As a result, the Registrant is still in the process of compiling required information to complete the Quarterly Report and requires additional time to complete its review of the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026 to be incorporated in the Quarterly Report. The Registrant anticipates that it will file the Quarterly Report no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed filing date. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to file the Quarterly Report on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?

	Yes ☒   No ☐
	If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. We anticipate our financial results for the period ended June 30, 2026 will differ significantly from the same period in the prior year due to changes in our operations, revenues and expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we expect total revenues to increase compared to the same period in 2025, and gross profit to also increase. We also expect operating expenses to decrease, primarily due to lower depreciation and amortization expense. As a result of these and other changes, including changes in interest expense and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, we expect net loss attributable to Vivakor, Inc. to decrease compared to the same period in 2025. These exact amounts are not currently known and subject to completion of our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2026.
