PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail 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.

 

Permex Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 (the “Q1 Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period due to the Company not filing its Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) until July 29, 2024. Accordingly, until completion of the filing of Form 10-K, the Company was not able to compile all of the necessary information to complete the preparation of its unaudited financial statements to be included in the Q1 Form 10-Q as of the date that the Q1 Form 10-Q was required to be filed.  The Company was also unable to file the Q1 Form 10-Q within the 5-day extension period afforded by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reason stated above. Subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K, the review of the Q1 Form 10-Q by the Company’s auditor was delayed primarily due to the Company having insufficient funds to be able to pay the auditor the fees incurred in connection with the audit of the Form 10-K. The Company currently expects to file the Q1 Form 10-Q within two weeks of the date of this Form 12b-25, although no assurance can be given as to this timeframe.

These forward-looking statements include: (i) statements regarding the Company’s expected timing regarding the filing of the Q1 Form 10-Q and (ii) statements regarding the Company’s financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

Readers of this Form 12b-25 are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date of this Form 12b-25.
