Houston American Energy Corp. (the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025 (the “Quarterly Report”). The Company requires additional time to finalize and review its consolidated financial statements due to a combination of factors, including the complexities of the preparation of such financial statements and accompanying notes resulting from the share exchange relating to a share exchange agreement entered into by the Company in July 2025 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), and because the Company will be unable to complete certain financial information in the Quarterly Report in interactive data format in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (“XBRL”) without unreasonable effort or expense. Management deems it necessary that additional time be taken in order to ensure that complete, thorough and accurate financials, edgarization and XBRL processing of the Quarterly Report can be completed. The Company is working diligently to complete the Quarterly Report as soon as possible on or before the prescribed due date provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

| (Name) | (Area Code) | (Telephone Number) |
| (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? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes ☒ No ☐ |
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? 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.
The Company expects to report 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. As the Share Exchange Agreement was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, the financials reflect the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the reverse acquisition.
