NXT ENERGY SOLUTIONS INC
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
As at and for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009
(Unaudited) (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 the company generated $2,638,560 of SFD™ survey revenue, incurred a net loss of $1,733,667 and used $1,116,501 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.

Change in Accounting Policies
Effective for the company’s year end commencing January 1, 2009, the FASB issued new standards relating to business combinations and non-controlling interest. The requirements of these standards will be applied to business combinations subsequent to December 31, 2008.

The FASB issued new guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities which 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 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The required disclosures under this new guidance 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. This standard is effective prospectively for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. It does not impact our financial statements as we do not have any derivative instruments or hedging activities except discussed below.

In June 2008, the FASB issued new guidance in assessing whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock for purposes of determining whether the instrument falls outside the scope of the FASB’s standard for accounting for derivative instruments. This EITF became effective for all fiscal year ends beginning after December 15, 2008 and required the cumulative effect in the account principle to be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

The adoption of this policy resulted in the company reducing contributed capital by $108,779, representing the historical value attributed to certain derivative instruments and then recording these instruments as a derivative liability at their fair market value of $41,415. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle of $67,364 was recognized as a reduction to the opening balance of Accumulated Loss for the year ended December 31, 2008. These options will be revalued to market at each reporting period and the change in the liability value will be charged or credited to the Statement of Income (Loss).

In May 2009, the FASB issued a new standard, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This new standard became effective for the company’s interim reporting at June 30, 2009 and did not have a material impact on the company’s disclosures.

In June 2009, the FASB issued a revised hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles which became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities effective for the company’s interim reporting period ending September 30, 2009. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on disclosures or amounts recorded in the company’s financial statements.

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. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the company consisted of NXT Energy Solutions Inc. and two inactive subsidiaries in the United States.

4. Income Tax Recovery

An income tax recovery was recorded in the third quarter of 2009 following confirmation that a Colombian withholding tax liability due for second quarter revenue was paid by the company’s Colombian client. This payment was made by the client pursuant to the terms of the executed SFD™ survey wherein all Colombian taxes were the responsibility of the client. This recovery offsets an income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2009.

6. Derivative Liability

Under the FASB’s fair value measurement standards, financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are required to be classified into one of three categories based upon a fair value hierarchy. The company’s only financial instrument recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the vested contractor stock options. We have classified these derivative financial instruments as level II where the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques that refer to observable market data. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded an expense of $113,668 in regards to the vested contractor options. These expenses are included in the line item ‘Administrative’ on the company’s consolidated statement of loss.

The fair market value of these vested contractor options was calculated at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 using the Black Scholes options valuation model.

10. 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 $29,023.

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 anniversary date of the agreement. Through October 31, 2009 we have consumed 70% of the hours committed to in the agreement.

11. Comparative Figures

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in the comparative periods to conform to the current year’s presentation.

12. Subsequent Event

The company has evaluated subsequent events to November 25, 2009.

In October 2009 the company executed a contract with a new client, a Colombia-based international oil and gas company, to conduct an SFD™ survey in Colombia. The contract calls for NXT to complete a U.S. $576,000 survey and to provide the client an option to receive a second survey for an additional U.S. $360,000. In addition, the client shall pay a fee for the mobilization of the aircraft. The survey commenced the first week of November and is scheduled to complete in 2009.
