NXT ENERGY SOLUTIONS INC
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three month period ended and as at March 31, 2009
(Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)

1. Organization and Ability to Continue Operations

NXT Energy Solutions Inc ("we", "company" or "NXT" ) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 27, 1994. NXT was continued from the State of Nevada to the Province of Alberta, Canada on October 24, 2003. The shareholders voted on and approved this change which moved the jurisdiction of incorporation from the U.S. to Canada. In November 2007 at our Annual General Meeting the shareholders voted on and approved changing our name. Effective September 22, 2008 our name changed from Energy Exploration Technologies Inc to NXT Energy Solutions Inc.

We own a proprietary technology called Stress Field Detection (“SFD®”). SFD® is a remote sensing airborne survey system that is designed to identify areas with oil and natural gas reserve potential. This technology was acquired from NXT's current CEO and President on December 31, 2005 following a ten year period wherein the company controlled the technology through a series of licensing agreements. For the ten year period prior to 2006 the company had engaged in extensive activities that were effective in developing the technology to a stage wherein SFD® was both technically ready and had the required industry validation to embark on the commercial phase of the company. These early activities included conducting SFD® surveys for oil and gas industry partners on a cost recovery basis and participating as a joint venture partner in SFD® identified exploration wells. By December 31, 2005 the company had accumulated approximately $47.6 million of deficits in conducting these activities.

The company is in the early stage of commercializing its SFD® technology. Its ability to generate cash flow from operations will depend on its ability to service its existing clients and develop new clients for its SFD® services. Management recognizes that this early commercialization phase can last for several years. Consistent with this early stage of commercialization the company has a significant economic dependency on a few clients. While the company is in this early stage of commercialization, the company’s financial position is materially impacted by the loss or gain of any one client. The company's ability to continue operations is dependent on attracting future customers through demonstrating the value that the company can bring to their exploration activities.

For the period ended March 31, 2009 the company had no SFD® survey revenue, had a net loss of $1,061,138 and used $882,946 of cash in operating activities.

The company anticipates generating both net income and cash from operations in future years with its business model; however this outcome cannot be predicted with certainty. The company has an extensive prior history of generating net losses. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to generate sufficient net income and cash from operations in future years in order to continue as a going concern.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods used in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the 2008 annual consolidated financial statements as they contain disclosure which is supplemental to our annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly certain disclosure normally required for annual financial statements has been condensed or omitted.

SFAS No. 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" . SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination, with the objective of improving the relevance and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS No. 160 clarifies the classification of non-controlling interests in consolidated statements of financial position and the accounting for and reporting of transactions between the reporting entity and holders of such non-controlling interests. The requirements of these standards will be applied to business combinations subsequent to December 31, 2008.

6


SFAS No. 161, which amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" , requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information about how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The required disclosures include the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains or losses in tabular format, information about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and the company’s strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 does not impact our financial statements as we do not have any derivative instruments or hedging activities.

Consolidation

We have consolidated the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries in the course of preparing these consolidated financial statements. All significant inter-company balances and transactions amongst NXT and its subsidiaries have been eliminated and are therefore not reflected in these consolidated financial statements. On December 22, 2008 the company's fully owned Canadian subsidiaries, NXT Energy Canada Inc. and NXT Aero Canada Inc., were dissolved and all assets and liabilities were wound up into the company. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the company consisted of NXT Energy Solutions Inc. and two inactive subsidiaries in the United States.

Compensation Expense Associated with Grant of Options

The grant date fair value is calculated in U.S. dollars using the Black Scholes option valuation model utilizing the following weighted average assumptions:

    For the three months ended 
    March 31, 2009    March 31, 2008 
Expected dividends paid per common share    Nil    Nil 
Expected life (years)    3    3 
Expected volatility in the price of common shares (%)    102%    84% 
Risk free interest rate (%)    2%    4% 
Weighted average grant date fair market value per share in U.S. dollars    $ 0.40    $ 1.85 
Intrinsic value of options exercised in U.S. dollars   

$ - 

  $ 2.46 

As of March 31, 2009 and 2008 there was $1,037,497 and $1,160,183 respectively of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation awards granted under the stock option plans. This cost will be recognized over the remaining vesting period.

The company has historically issued warrants in U.S. and Canadian dollars. At March 31, 2009, all warrants outstanding are exercisable in Canadian dollars.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

On March 18, 2003 we were served a Statement of Claim naming NXT and others as defendants. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants were negligent and in breach of a ferry flight contract under which an aircraft was to be delivered to Greece. The aircraft crashed enroute. The Plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, damages in the amount of Cdn. $450,000 or loss and damages to the aircraft and cargo, and damages in respect to search and rescue expenses, salvage, storage, transportation expenses and pollution and contamination expenses. NXT was not party to the Ferry Flight Contract. The outcome of the claim is not determinable. Management believes the claim is without merit and we intend to defend ourselves against the claim.

The company has an office lease until October 31, 2012 which requires minimum monthly lease payments of $29,483.

On May 8, 2009 the company executed an aircraft charter agreement with a Calgary based aircraft charter company to provide aircraft, crew and maintenance services for SFD® survey operations utilizing a fleet of Cessna Citation 560 series jet aircraft. NXT’s minimum aircraft charter commitment under this agreement is Cdn. $396,250 prior to the aniversary date of the agreement.
