NXT ENERGY SOLUTIONS INC.
 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
As at and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)
 
1. History and Future Operations
 
NXT Energy Solutions Inc. (the "Company" or "NXT") is a publicly traded company based in Calgary, Canada.
 
NXT owns a proprietary technology called Stress Field Detection ("SFD®"), an airborne survey system that is used in the oil & natural gas industry to help aid in identifying areas with hydrocarbon reservoir 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 (see also note 5).
 
For the ten year period prior to 2006 the Company had engaged in extensive activities to develop, validate and obtain industry acceptance of SFD®, including 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 a deficit of approximately $47.6 million in conducting these activities.
 
This early period was effective in developing the technology to a stage where SFD® was both technically ready and had the required industry validation to embark on the "commercialization" phase in 2006. SFD® survey services began to be offered to clients engaged in oil and gas exploration activities with an initial focus on potential clients operating in the western Canadian sedimentary basin.
 
The global financial crisis of late 2008 affected a number of markets and resulted in a dramatic decline in NXT's Canadian market opportunities. This caused NXT to re-focus its sales activities towards international markets.
 
Despite having provided services to clients since 2006, NXT is still in the early stage of commercializingits SFD® technology. The generation of positive cash flow from operations in the future will depend largely on its ability to demonstrate the value of the SFD® survey system to a much wider client base. NXT recognizes that this early commercialization phase can last for several years and that its' financial position is currently dependent upon a limited number of client projects, on obtaining additional financing and attracting future clients.
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a "going concern" basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that NXT will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. There is substantial doubt about the appropriateness of the use of the going concern assumption because NXT has experienced losses and negative cash flow from operations over the past several years and has traditionally had minimal working capital. NXT recognizes that current working capital and contracts in process may not be sufficient to support the operations beyond the next twelve months without generating significant additional revenues and / or capital (see also note 4).
 
NXT anticipates it will be able to expand operations in order to generate both net income and cash from operations in future years with its existing business model; however, the occurrence and timing of this outcome cannot be predicted with certainty.
 
These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities or reported expenses that would be necessary should NXT be unable to raise additional capital or generate sufficient net income and cash flow from operations as required in future years in order to continue as a going concern.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of presentation
 
These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("US GAAP") in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods used in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
 
These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the 2011 annual audited consolidated financial statements as they contain disclosure which is supplemental to NXT's annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly certain disclosure normally required for annual financial statements has been condensed or omitted herein.

As at June 30, 2012
    39,554,959     $ 56,605,311  
 
In March and May 2012, NXT conducted private placement financings (the "Financings") which consisted of units issued at US $0.75 (the "Units"). Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one warrant (the "Warrants") to purchase an additional common share of the Company at a price of US $1.20. The Warrants have a term of two years from the date of issue, and the expiry can be accelerated at the option of NXT in the event that it issues a press release advising that its common shares have traded on the US OTCBB Exchange at a price exceeding US $1.50 for 20 consecutive days. Any Warrants subject to acceleration shall expire 30 days after such notice.
 
In connection with the Financings, the Company paid finder's fees totalling US $183,612 and issued a total of 244,816 finder's warrants (which have the same terms as the Warrants noted above).  The Financings had three separate closings in March, 2012 and one on May 4, 2012, which are summarized as follows:

      3,117,088       1,385,733       4,502,821  
 
Two Officers of the Company subscribed for a total of US $40,000 of the Financings.
 
The common shares that were issued under the Financings were recorded at a value equal to the proceeds received, net of related issue costs, and reduced by the value attributed to the Warrants issued (see note 8).
 
5. Preferred shares
 
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series.
 
On December 31, 2006, the Company issued 10,000,000 series 1 preferred shares (the "Preferred Shares") to an individual who is a Director and NXT's Chief Executive Officer and President pursuant to the execution of a Technical Transfer Agreement (the "2006 TTA") in exchange for the outright purchase of the SFD® technology.
 
These Preferred Shares are conditionally convertible into common shares as follows
 
2,000,000 of the Preferred Shares became convertible into common shares upon issue
The remaining 8,000,000 Preferred Shares may become convertible into common shares in four separate increments of 2,000,000 Preferred Shares each, should NXT achieve specified cumulative revenue thresholds of US $50 million, US $100 million, US $250 million and US $500 million prior to December 31, 2015.
Cumulative revenue is defined as the sum of total revenue earned plus proceeds from the sale of assets accumulated since January 1, 2007, all denominated in United States dollars, and calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
In the event that the final cumulative revenue threshold of US $500 million is not achieved by December 31, 2015, NXT has the option to either redeem any unconverted Preferred Shares for a price of $0.01 per share and forfeit the SFD® technology, or retain the ownership of the SFD® technology by converting all of the remaining Preferred Shares into common shares.
 
The Preferred Shares do not participate in any dividends, and are not transferable except with the consent of the Board of Directors of NXT
 
As at June 30, 2012, the Company had generated cumulative revenue of approximately US $17.5 million (December 31, 2011 - US $12.2 million) that is eligible to be applied to the above noted conversion thresholds.
 
No value has been attributed to the any of the 8,000,000 preferred shares which are still subject to conditions related to potential conversion.

All of these options have a term of five years to expiry, and will vest over a three year period, except for the $1.20 options which will vest over a 15 month period. A total of 830,000 of the $0.86 stock options were granted to Directors and Officers of NXT. In addition, in July 2012 two Directors of NXT surrendered for cancellation a total of 140,000 stock options, which had an exercise price of $0.63 per share, and had an expiry date of December 12, 2012.
 
On August 24, 2012, a total of 400,000 stock options (100,000 options at exercise prices of $1, $2, $3 and $4 each) expired.

            4,502,821          
 
(i) In February, 2011 NXT closed a private placement financing of Units which included a total of 3,345,920 warrants which had an exercise price of $0.60 and a expiry of February 16, 2012.  The estimated fair value attributed to these warrants that were issued in 2011 was $329,386.
 
The estimated fair value attributed to the 4,502,821 total US$ Warrants that were issued in the Financing in 2012 (see note 4) was $409,143.
 
As the exercise price of the Warrants is in US dollars, which is a currency other than the functional currency of the Company, this fair value is required to be reflected as a derivative instrument on the balance sheet. The total for these derivative instruments, which is included with current liabilities, will be adjusted to fair value at each period end over the life of the Warrants, with the changes in fair value reflected in earnings.
 
Under US GAAP 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 instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the US dollar denominated warrants. We have classified these derivative financial instruments as level III where the fair value is determined by using valuation techniques that refer to both observable and unobservable market data. The valuation model was based on the Black Scholes inputs noted below, as well as a discount to reflect the potential dilution impact upon exercise of the warrants and NXT's low stock market liquidity.
 
The value attributed to warrants that have been issued by NXT is calculated using the Black-Scholes warrant valuation model utilizing the following weighted average assumptions:
 
 
For the six months ended June 30

9. Income tax expense
 
NXT periodically earns revenues while operating outside of Canada as a non-resident within certain foreign jurisdictions. Payments made to NXT for services rendered to clients in such countries may be subject to withholding taxes, which are only recoverable in certain circumstances. During the second quarter of 2012, NXT incurred a 31% withholding tax on approximately $0.7 million of survey revenue generated in Central America. Although such taxes can potentially be utilized in Canada as a foreign tax credit against future taxable earnings from this jurisdiction, a full valuation allowance has been provided against this benefit.

NXT currently does not own any of the aircraft which are used in its' survey operations, but has in place an agreement, expiring in January, 2013, to utilize a minimum annual volume of aircraft charter hours.  NXT has met terms of this charter agreement for the current year.
 
In 2003 NXT was named as one of several defendants in a statement of claim related to an aircraft crash. The plaintiffs alleged that all defendants were in breach of an aircraft ferry flight contract and were seeking damages of $450,000, but have not pursued their claim against NXT for over six years. NXT was not a party to the contract and accordingly believes the claim is without merit.  The outcome of the claim is not determinable, and no liability has been recorded.
 
12. Geographic information:
 
NXT conducts all of its survey operations from its head office in Canada, and has a one person administrative office in Colombia.  NXT has no long term assets outside of Canada.
