Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

As at and for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)

1. The Company and Going Concern

NXT Energy Solutions Inc. (the "Company" or "NXT") is a publicly traded company based in Calgary, Alberta Canada.

NXT's proprietary Stress Field Detection ("SFD®") technology is an airborne survey system that is used in the oil and natural gas exploration industry to identify subsurface trapped fluid accumulations. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that NXT will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The events described in the following paragraphs highlight that there is substantial doubt about NXT’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements have been issued.

As a result of the extended duration between revenue bearing contracts, NXT’s balance of Current Assets less Current Liabilities has been declining since the closing of the first tranche of the Private Placement on February 2018. As a result, the Company’s current cash position is not expected to be sufficient to meet its obligations for the 12 month period beyond the date that these financial statements have been issued. With the Nigerian SFD® survey, the Company’s cash position will improve if contract milestones are delivered by the Company and payments for those milestones are made as per contract terms. Given the risks associated with the international receivables though the Company feels it cannot, with significant certainty, be assured that all revenues will be collected on the Nigerian SFD® survey at this early date. Notwithstanding, an advanced payment totaling $1,000,000 United States dollars has been received in the second quarter of 2019 for the Survey.

The Company is also taken future steps to reduce costs which include evaluating alternatives to reduce aircraft and office costs. In addition, the Advisory Board has been suspended indefinitely and staffing costs are being reduced with new Human Resource policies. If required, further financing options that may or may not be available to the Company include issuance of new equity, debentures or bank credit facilities. The need for any of these options will be dependent on the timing of securing new contracts and obtaining financing terms that are acceptable to both the Company and the financier.

NXT continues to develop its pipeline of opportunities to secure new revenue contracts. However, the Company’s longer-term success remains dependent upon its ability convert these opportunities into successful contracts and to continue to attract new client projects and expand the revenue base to a level sufficient to exceed fixed operating costs and generate positive cash flow from operations. The occurrence and timing of these events cannot be predicted with certainty.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

As at and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)

The condensed consolidated financial interim statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern basis was not appropriate. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then significant adjustments would be necessary in the classification and carrying value of assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2019 have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("US GAAP") and by applying the same accounting policies and methods as used in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, except as noted below.

Update to Significant Accounting Policies

Leases

On January 1, 2019, NXT adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”) and related amendments, using the modified retrospective approach recognizing a cumulative effect adjustment at the beginning of the reporting period in which Topic 842 was applied. Results for reporting the periods beginning after January 1, 2019, are presented in accordance with Topic 842, while prior periods have not been restated and are reported in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases (“Topic 840”). On transition, NXT elected certain practical expedients permitted under Topic 842 which include:

No reassessment of the classification of leases previously assessed under Topic 840.

The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains terms to extend or terminate the lease

The policy and disclosures required under Topic 842 are included in Note 10, Leases.

In accordance with Topic 842, NXT recognized a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability for all operating leases on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet. Prior to the adoption of Topic 842, operating leases were not recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet. There was no impact to finance leases on transition to Topic 842. The impact from recognizing operating leases on NXT’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is as follows:

Notes:

Reclassify previously recognized finance leases:

Leases accounted for as finance leases were reclassified to Right of Use Assets and lease liabilities from property, plant and equipment and capital lease obligations, respectively.

ii)

Lease liabilities:

The Company recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as operating. Under the principles of the new standard these leases have been measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rates or implied interest rate in the lease contract. Rates varied between 7.4% and 15.7%. Total lease liabilities of $4,078,223 were recorded as at January 1, 2019, of which $672,087 is the current portion.

iii)

Account payable and other accrued liabilities, Other liabilities:

The deferred gain on sale of the aircraft was reclassified from Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and Other liabilities to Current portion of lease obligations and Long-term Lease Obligations.

iv)

Deferred charges:

The Deferred charges for the office lease have been reclassified to Right of use assets and are being amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining period of the lease.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)

Although Topic 842 does not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings or Cash Flows, the change in the accounting of the aircraft lease results in interest expense of $19,792 being recorded in the quarter whereas under Topic 840 that amount was recorded under survey costs. In the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Cash Flows under Operating Activities, amortization of deferred gain on sale of aircraft and deferred rent are now presented as amortization of financial liability, under Topic 842.

3. Short-term investments

Short-term investments consist of Guaranteed Investment Certificates with maturity dates of one year from the date of purchase. For March 31, 2019, interest rates range from 2.10% to 2.15%. For December 31, 2018, interest rates range from 2.10% to 2.15%.

The Company has received a $300,000 United States dollars advanced payment for mobilization and demobilization costs for this survey which has been recorded as Contract obligations. Given mobilization commenced on March 31, 2019, no revenue is being recognized as of the date of the financial statements. The Company also has recorded $68,098 of prepaid expenses related to the SFD® survey.

8. Intellectual property

During 2015, NXT acquired the permanent rights to the SFD® technology for use in the exploration of hydrocarbons from Mr. George Liszicasz and recorded the acquisition as an intellectual property asset on the balance sheet. The asset was recorded at the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the related tax affect, of approximately $25.3 million.

The asset is being amortized on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life of 15 years. The annual amortization expense expected to be recognized in each of the next five years is approximately $1.7 million per year for a 5 year aggregate total of $8.5 million.

Leases entered into for the use of an asset are classified as either operating or finance, which is determined at contract inception. Upon commencement of the lease, a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet for all operating and finance leases. NXT has elected the short-term lease exemption, which does not require a ROU asset or lease liability to be recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet when the lease term is 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.

Upon commencement of the lease, ROU assets are measured at the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made before commencement date of the lease, less any lease incentives received and including any initial direct costs incurred. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to determine the present value is the rate implicit in the lease unless that rate cannot be determined, in which case NXT’s incremental borrowing rate is used.

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid and discounted at the initial discount rate at commencement of the lease, less any impairments to the ROU asset. Operating lease expense and revenue from any subleases are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Earnings on a straight line basis over the lease term. Finance lease ROU assets are over the estimated useful life of the asset if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option or ownership of the leased asset transfers at the end of the lease term, otherwise the leased assets are amortized over the lease term. Operating leases include office building, aircraft and printer. Finance leases include office equipment. Currently there are no subleases.

NXT’s lease contracts include rights to extend leases after the initial term. Rights to extend or terminate a lease are included in the lease term when there is reasonable certainty the right will be exercised. Factors used to assess reasonable certainty of rights to extend or terminate a lease include current and forecasted survey plans, anticipated changes in strategies, historical practice in extending similar contracts and current market conditions.

In February 2019, NXT entered into a Co-operative Agreement with AGV to propose up to three SFD® surveys within two years. As part of the consideration for the agreement, NXT has agreed to seek approval for a 12-month extension of the expiry date of certain common share purchase warrants held by AGV. The TSX has granted conditional approval to the extension, subject to disinterested shareholder approval. NXT will table a resolution for the approval of disinterested shareholders at the 2019 Annual Shareholder Meeting of the NXT to ratify a twelve (12) month extension of AGV’s 3,421,648 warrants (“Warrants”) to February 16, 2020. If approved, each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $1.20 for an additional twelve months to February 16, 2020. The date of the Annual Shareholder Meeting is June 25, 2019. Until the extension is approved by shareholders at the meeting, the warrants will not be exercisable by AGV. If the extension is not approved, then the warrants will terminate.

Stock options granted generally expire, if unexercised, five years from the date granted and entitlement to exercise them generally vests at a rate of one-third at the end of each of the first three years following the date of grant.

Stock based compensation expense (“SBCE”) is calculated based on the fair value attributed to grants of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model and utilizing the following weighted average assumptions:

For the period ended	2019	2018
Expected dividends paid per common share	-	Nil
Expected life in years	-	5.0
Expected volatility in the price of common shares	-	65%
Risk free interest rate	-	1.75%
Weighted average fair market value per share at grant date	-	$1.06
Intrinsic (or "in-the-money") value per share of options exercised	-	$0.59

The unamortized portion of SBCE related to the non-vested portion of stock options, which will be recognized in 2019 to 2020 is approximately $24,000.
