Non-GAAP Measures
NXT’s accompanying Interim Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company has consistently used US GAAP for the eight most recently completed quarters.
Net Working Capital
This MD&A includes references to net working capital, which does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by US GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures being presented by other entities. Net working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. It is composed of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and contract assets, prepaid expenses and deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, unearned revenue, the current portion of convertible debentures, the current portion of long-term debt and the current portion of the Company’s lease obligations. Net working capital can be used by investors and management to assess liquidity at a particular point in time. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Net Working Capital” for further information.
Free Cash Flow Per Share
Free Cash Flow Per Share represents the capital generated by the Company and available to allocate for investment in technology, assets, and repayment of debt. Free Cash Flow Per Share is a non-GAAP financial ratio and is not a standardized financial measure and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Free Cash Flow Per Share is defined as net cash from (used in) operating activities; plus or minus the change in non-cash working capital and adds back investments in technology or assets that have been expensed; all divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for the year (“Free Cash Flow Per Share”).
A reconciliation of Net cash from (used in) operating activities vs Free Cash Flow Per Share for the six months ended June 30, 2026, is as follows:
| For the six months ended June 30, 2026 | |
| Net cash from (used in) operating activities | $(154,357) |

Description of the Business
NXT is a Calgary-based technology company whose proprietary airborne SFD® survey system (“SFD®”), applied in numerous basins around the world, uses the principles of quantum mechanics to infer stress anomalies of exploration interest. The method can be used both onshore and offshore to remotely identify areas conducive to fluid entrapment to recommend areas with commercial hydrocarbon and/or geothermal potential. The SFD® survey system enables our clients to focus their exploration decisions concerning land commitments, data acquisition expenditures and prospect prioritization on areas with the greatest potential. SFD® is environmentally friendly and unaffected by ground security issues or difficult terrain and is the registered trademark of NXT.

Discussion of Operations
NXT has entered the second half of 2026 on a sound commercial and financial footing. On the commercial side, we received the mobilization fee for the next African SFD® survey and on April 8, 2026, we announced a new contract in South Asia (the “South Asia SFD® Survey”) allowing us to significantly increase our geographic diversity. We anticipate commencing the upcoming African SFD® Survey during Q3-26. Net Working Capital (see “Non-GAAP Measures”) at June 30, 2026, was approximately $2.09 million and Cash and Short-term investments were $1.72 million.
The key financial milestone achieved in YTD 2026 was the final conversion of the remaining convertible debentures which had a fair value of $83,352 on the conversion date.
Our revenue and profitability decreased significantly between YTD 2026 and YTD 2025 because of the different phases of the contracts we were engaged in each of the respective periods. During YTD 2025, NXT was in the acquisition phase of the 2025 African SFD® survey, which involved active flight operations and triggers large-scale revenue recognition. During Q1-26, the Company was primarily engaged in the interpretation phase of the AL-Haj SFD® Survey in Pakistan. During this phase, the focus shifted from survey acquisition to data analysis, resulting in much lower immediate revenue recognition. During Q2-26 the Company was focused on business development activities in order to begin execution of the second African SFD® Survey and the South Asia SFD® Survey.
Advance Application of SFD® Technology in Canada
On November 24, 2025, the Company received a US$2,000,000 strategic investment by way of a private placement of common shares to its largest shareholder MCAPM LP to advance the application of the Company’s proprietary SFD® technology within select areas of Western Canada (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement proceeds are providing NXT with enhanced balance sheet flexibility to accelerate widespread usage of SFD® data in Canada while preserving its core business model as a technology and service provider.
As part of this process, the Company engaged Baycrest Energy Ltd. to assist in evaluating strategic pathways related to this initiative. During Q1-26, the Company began to evaluate NXT’s extensive proprietary SFD® data library, which includes more than 50,000 line-kilometers of airborne geophysical data in the Western Canadian sedimentary basin.
SFD® Survey in Pakistan
During Q1-26, the Company completed the data interpretation phase for its SFD® survey with AL-Haj Enterprises Private Limited (the “AL-Haj SFD® Survey”). Recommendations are expected to be delivered to the customer by the end of Q4-26.
SFD® Surveys in Africa
On September 24, 2024, the Company announced that it signed a contract with its Strategic Alliance Partner, Synergy, to provide a second SFD® survey for an oil and gas exploration company in Africa (the “African SFD® Survey”). NXT has now completed SFD® data acquisition and interpretation of the African SFD® Survey.
On May 1, 2025, the Company announced that it has entered into an additional contract with Synergy, to provide an SFD® survey in Africa. Data acquisition operations for this SFD® contract are expected to commence in August 2026, and NXT’s interpretations and recommendations for both African SFD® Surveys are expected to be delivered to the client in Q3-26. A mobilization fee of $346,500 was received in Q1-26 for this additional SFD® Survey in Africa.
SFD® Survey in South Asia
On April 8, 2026, the Company announced that it entered a contract to provide an SFD® survey to an independent oil and gas exploration company in South Asia (the “South Asia SFD® Survey”). Data acquisition operations for this contract are expected to commence in Q3-26, and NXT’s interpretations and recommendations are expected to be delivered during Q4-26.
Patents
As of the date of this MD&A, NXT has been granted SFD® patents on its SFD® technology in forty-seven jurisdictions, including Brazil (February 2022), India (July 2021), Russia (January 2017), Japan (July 2017), Canada (August 2017), Mexico (September 2017), the United States (two patents were granted in November 2017 and September 2018, respectively), China (April 2018), and Europe (January 2020). These patents protect our proprietary SFD® technology and serve as independent third-party recognition of our technological invention.

Quarterly operating results. NXT incurred a net loss of $2,559,380 ($0.02/share) for Q2-26 compared to a net loss of $6,982,658 ($0.08/share) in Q2-25. The Company recorded no SFD®-related revenues in Q2-26. The Company recorded SFD®-related revenues in Q2-25 from the African SFD® survey and the Southeast Asia SFD® survey. SFD®-related costs, net, decreased in Q2-26 versus Q2-25 due to no SFD® acquisition or interpretation work done in Q2-26. In Q2-25 flight costs were incurred for the acquisition phase of Southeast Asia SFD® Survey and the required major maintenance after the aircraft returned from the African SFD® survey in Q1-25. G&A expenses increased $467,276 or approximately 49%, compared to Q2-25, due to higher salary costs, business development travel and SBCE. Interest expense decreased $189,001 (97%) in Q2-26 versus Q2-25, due to the conversion of all the outstanding convertible debentures. Given the net US$ assets at June 30, 2026, and the weakening of the CDN$ by 2.0% since March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a foreign exchange gain in Q2-26. In Q2-25, the Company recognized a loss of $5,579,602 on the fair value remeasurement of the conversion of convertible debentures because of changes in the US$/CDN$ exchange rates, volatility and the Company’s share price on those dates. More details on each line item are provided herein.

G&A expenses increased $467,276, or approximately 39% in Q2-26 compared to Q2-25 for the following reasons:
|
| · | salaries, benefits, and consulting charges increased $324,610 or approximately 102%, due to one additional staff,) annual salary increases, and no project hours being reallocated to Survey project in Q1-26; |
|
| · | Board and professional fees and public company costs increased $15,267 or approximately 7%, due to increased insurance and legal fees related to increased business activity; |
|
| · | premises and administrative overhead costs increased $9,379 or approximately 5% due to increased hardware and software support costs for SFD® given the anticipated increase in business activity in 2026; |
|
| · | business development costs increased by $88,819 or approximately 74% to finalize the upcoming SFD® surveys in Asia and Africa, as well as developing other potential SFD® surveys; and |
|
| · | SBCE’s were higher in Q2-26 versus Q2-25 by $29,201 or approximately 9%, because expense was recognized for both an additional option grant, but offset by a lower RSU cost due to the decrease in NXT’s share price on June 30, 2026, versus June 30, 2025. Please see the next section “Discussion of Operations – Stock-based Compensation Expenses” for further information and detail on the SBCE. |
G&A expenses increased $1,076,099, or approximately 46% in YTD 2026 compared to YTD 2025 for the following reasons:
|
| · | salaries, benefits, and consulting charges increased $801,084 or approximately 122%, due to one additional staff and annual salary increases, retirement benefits and less salary costs allocated to SFD® related costs as there were less project hours incurred YTD 2026 versus YTD 2025; |
|
| · | Board and professional fees and public company costs decreased $87,238 or approximately 16%, due to reduced United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related regulatory legal fees being incurred during YTD 2026 versus YTD 2025; |

SBCE varies in any given quarter or year as it is a function of several factors, including the number of units of each type of stock-based compensation issued in the period and the amortization term based on the number of years for full vesting of the units.
SBCE is also a function of periodic changes in the inputs used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model, such as volatility in NXT’s trailing common share price. For cash-settled stock-based compensation awards variability will occur based on changes to observable prices. Any unexercised stock options expire five years from the date granted. Vesting criteria for options is determined by the Board.
On January 6, 2023, the Company granted 2,050,000 incentive stock options at a strike price of $0.216 to employees, officers and directors (the “2023 Options”). The 2023 Options vest upon the occurrence of several milestones relating to the cash received for SFD® services performed as follows: (i) one-third of the 2023 Options vest upon the collection of US$6.5 million for SFD® services performed; (ii) one-third of the 2023 Options vest upon the collection of the next US$7.0 million for SFD® services performed; and (iii) the final one-third of the 2023 Options vest upon collection of an additional US$7.5 million for SFD® services performed. The Company has reached the first milestone of collecting US$6.5 million for the 2023 Options. The Company estimates that it should reach the remaining two milestones in 2026.
On February 24, 2025, the Company granted 1,400,000 incentive stock options at a strike price of $0.203 to directors of the Company (the “Incentive Options”). The Incentive Options will vest upon the Company achieving a trailing twelve-month free cash flow per share of $0.10. The Company currently estimates that it will achieve this target of $0.10 during Q1-27.
| NXT Energy Solutions Inc. MD&A for the period ended June 30, 2026 |

|
On December 16, 2025, the Company granted 4,300,000 additional incentive stock options at a strike price of $0.309 to employees and directors of the Company (the “December 2025 Incentive Options”). One half of the December 2025 Incentive Options will vest when the Company achieves a trailing twelve-month free cash flow per share of $0.15. The other half will vest when the Company achieves a trailing 12-month revenue of $25,000,000. The Company currently estimates that it will achieve both targets during Q1-27. Please see “Advisories – Non-GAAP measures” for further information.
The deferred share unit (“DSUs”) plan (the “DSU Plan”) is a long-term plan that permits the grant of DSUs to directors that wish to take their director fees in DSUs instead of cash. One DSU converts to one common share at the retirement, resignation, or death of the Board member. Five directors elected to receive their fees as DSUs during 2026 and 2025.
Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) entitle the holder to receive, at the option of the Company, either the underlying number of shares of the Company’s common shares upon vesting of such RSUs or a cash payment equal to the value of the underlying shares. The RSUs vest at a rate of one-third on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The Company has historically settled the exercise of vested RSUs with common shares and cash. On February 21, 2024, the Company granted 1,035,000 RSUs to employees and officers. On February 24, 2025, the Company granted 1,875,000 RSUs to employees and officers.
The Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESP Plan”) allows employees and other individuals determined by the Board to be eligible to contribute a minimum of 1% and a maximum of 10% of their earnings to the plan for the purchase of common shares in the capital of the Company, of which the Company will make an equal contribution. Common shares contributed by the Company may be issued from treasury or acquired through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange. In 2025 and 2026, the Company elected to issue common shares from the treasury.
SBCE in Q2-26 compared to Q2-25 was higher by $29,201 or approximately 9%. Stock option expense increased $107,925 or 105% as the Company began recognizing expense for the December 2025 Incentive Options in 2026 but only recognized the Incentive Options in 2025. RSU expense decreased $82,731 (45%) as the fair value of the RSU decreased due to the lower NXT share price at June 30, 2026. ESP Plan expense increased $4,007 or 38% due to salary increases and increased participation.
SBCE in YTD 2026 compared to YTD 2025 was higher by $166,964 or approximately 31%. Stock option expense increased $215,936 or 105% as the Company began recognizing expense for the December 2025 Incentive Options in 2026 but only recognized the Incentive Options in 2025. RSU expense decreased $47,667 (21%) as the fair value of the RSU decreased due to the lower NXT share price on June 30, 2026. This was offset by the Company recognizing a full six months of the 2025 RSU grant in YTD 2026, but only approximately four months in YTD 2025. ESP Plan expense decreased $1,305 or 5% due to salary increases and increased participation.

Interest expense, net. This category of other expenses includes interest expense from long-term debt and convertible debentures netted by interest income earned on guaranteed investment certificates.
Interest expense decreased $189,001 (97%) in Q2-26 versus Q2-26, and $436,271 (98%) in YTD 2026 versus YTD 2025 due to the conversion of convertible debentures in the period from Q2-25 to Q1-26.
Foreign exchange gain. This category includes losses and gains caused by changes in the relative currency exchange values of US$ and CDN$. The Company held net US$ assets at June 30, 2026, which included cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and contract assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, US$ lease obligations, and the security deposit for the aircraft, all of which influence the unrealized foreign exchange gain and loss.
Given the net US$ assets at June 30, 2026, and the weakening of the CDN$ by 2.0% since March 31, 2026, and 3.5% since December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a foreign exchange gain in both Q2-26 and YTD 2026. Even though the CDN$ strengthen versus the US$ in YTD 2025, the Company still recorded foreign exchange gains in both YTD 2025 and Q2-25 as the conversion of the convertible debentures was at a higher CDN$/US$ exchange rate.
The Company does not currently enter into hedging contracts but instead uses alternative strategies to reduce the volatility of US dollar liabilities including holding excess US dollars before converting to CDN dollars.
Loss (gain) on fair value remeasurement. The Company recognized a gain of $6,584 in Q1-26 on the fair value remeasurement of the November Debentures (defined herein) on conversion of the remaining US$45,000 on January 5, 2026. They were revalued at their fair value, using level 3 inputs which include the market price, volatility and the price of the Company’s common stock as at the conversion date. Likewise on June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a loss of $6,249,245 on the fair value remeasurement of the outstanding convertible debentures at that date due to changes in the US$/CDN$ exchange rates, volatility and the Company’s share price.
Intellectual Property. This category of other expenses primarily includes costs related to IP filings and research and development activity related to the SFD® technology. In YTD 2026 and YTD 2025 the Company’s IP and other expenses were associated with periodic patent maintenance and renewal fees required during these time periods.
Competition
NXT’s SFD® airborne survey service is based upon a proprietary technology, which is capable of remotely identifying, from a survey aircraft, subsurface anomalies associated with potential hydrocarbon traps with a resolution that it believes is technically superior to other airborne survey systems. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no other company employing technology comparable to its SFD® survey system for oil and natural gas and geothermal exploration.
Seismic is the standard technology used by the oil and gas industry to image subsurface structures. It is our view that the SFD® survey system is highly complementary to seismic analysis. NXT’s system may reduce the need for seismic in wide‑area reconnaissance but will not replace the role of seismic in verifying structure, closure, and selecting drilling locations. The seismic industry is competitive with many international and regional service providers.

The SFD® system can be used as a focusing tool for seismic. With an SFD® survey, a large tract (that is, a tract over 5,000 square kilometers) of land can be evaluated quickly to identify locations with indications of reservoir potential. Seismic surveys, although effective in identifying these locations, are much more expensive, require significantly more time, and impose a much greater negative impact on local communities and the environment. Deploying an SFD® survey first can provide necessary information to target a seismic program over a limited area of locations selected by SFD®. This approach can result in a more effective seismic program and reduce the overall cost, time, community resistance, and environmental impact required to locate and qualify a prospect.
The energy industry uses other technologies for wide area oil and natural gas reconnaissance exploration, such as aeromagnetic and gravity surveys. These systems can provide regional geological information, such as basement depth, sedimentary thickness and major faulting, and structural development.
Risk and Uncertainties
Hydrocarbon and geothermal exploration operations involve several risks and uncertainties that may affect the Interim Financial Statements and are reasonably likely to affect them in the future. These risks and uncertainties are discussed in detail in NXT’s AIF for the year ended December 31, 2025, “Section 5 Risk Factors”, dated March 31, 2026, and available as an electronic copy on NXT’s website at www.nxtenergy.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
We caution that the factors referred to in the AIF and those referred to as part of particular forward-looking statements may not be exhaustive and that new risk factors emerge from time to time in the rapidly changing business environment.

During Q2-26, SFD®-related revenue was $nil as the Company prepared for the second African SFD® Survey expected to commence in Q3-26. During Q1-26, SFD®-related revenue versus the previous quarter decreased due to only the interpretation phase of the Al-Haj SFD® survey being recognized and as a result the lower revenue also increased the net loss. During Q4-25, SFD®-related revenue versus the previous two quarters increased due to the Al-Haj SFD® survey in Q4-25 and as a result also decreased the net loss. During Q3-25, the loss was driven by SFD®-related costs, net increasing due to costs to support the SFD® flown surveys and aircraft maintenance costs for upcoming SFD® surveys. During Q2-25, the Company recorded a net loss due to the fair value remeasurement on the convertible debentures. During Q1-25, the Company’s earned net income due to the African SFD® Survey. During Q4-24, the Company’s net loss increased due to unrealized foreign exchange losses due to the weakening CDN$ and interest increases due to the issuance of the debentures. In Q3-24, the Company incurred additional G&A costs in anticipation of increased commercial activity, recognized a gain for the fair value remeasurement of the convertible debentures, and unrealized foreign exchange loss (gain) improved due to a strengthening CDN$. In Q2-26 and Q3-24, the Company incurred net losses due to incurred SFD®-related costs related to aircraft lease and aircraft maintenance costs, G&A expenses, and non-cash items such as SBCE, which can be a significant expense in any given quarter. More details are provided below:
|
| · | in Q2-26, the Company was focused on business development work and preparation for the expected starts of the African and South Asia SFD® surveys resulting in $nil SFD®-related revenues. Other costs and expenses were consistent with Q1-26; |
|
| · | In Q1-26, the Company recorded a net loss of $2,415,419. The Company recorded SFD®-related revenues from the interpretation phase of the Al-Haj SFD® Survey. During the previous quarter NXT recorded revenues from the acquisition phase of the Al-Haj SFD® Survey. G&A expenses increased due to a one-time charge for retirement benefits for the former CEO. Interest expense decreased close to $nil due to the conversion of all the outstanding convertible debentures; |
|
| · | In Q4-25, the Company recorded a net loss of $1,237,969. The net loss improved versus the previous two quarters due to the contribution of the Al-Haj SFD® Survey, lower SBCE expenses, lower interest expense due to the conversion of Convertible Debentures, and the partial reversal of previous estimates for the non-cash fair value adjustment to the convertible debentures, given the decrease in the price of the Company’s common shares. This was offset by the expensing of the acquisition of the remaining SFD® rights and technologies the Company did not previously own and foreign income tax expense; |
|
| · | In Q3-25, the Company recorded a net loss of $1,781,040 driven by SFD®-related costs, net increasing due to costs to support the SFD® flown surveys and aircraft maintenance costs for upcoming SFD® surveys. The Company recorded SFD®-related revenues in Q3-25 from the Southeast Asia SFD® survey and SBCE increasing due to the increase in the price of the Company’s common shares; |
|
| · | In Q2-25, the Company recorded a net loss of $6,982,658. The Q2-25 loss was attributed to the non-cash fair value adjustment to the convertible debentures, given the significant increase in the price of the Company’s common shares; |
|
| · | In Q1-25, the Company earned net income due to the African SFD® Survey and incurring a foreign exchange gain due to the US$ accounts receivable balance. This was offset partially by the loss for the fair value remeasurement of the convertible debentures; |
|
| · | In Q4-24, the Company incurred additional interest costs due to the addition of US$900,000 of convertible debentures and the 6.5% weakening of the CDN$ during the quarter with the debentures increasing the net US$ liability. The Company also recognized a gain for the fair value remeasurement of debentures; and |
|
| · | in Q3-24, the Company incurred additional G&A costs in anticipation of increased commercial activity, recognized a gain for the fair value remeasurement of the convertible debentures, and unrealized foreign exchange loss (gain) improved due to a strengthening CDN$. |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Going Concern
The 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 continues to be material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about NXT’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Interim Financial Statements have been issued. The Company’s current cash position is not expected to be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations and planned operations for a year beyond the date that the Interim Financial Statements have been issued.
The Company continues to develop its pipeline of opportunities to secure additional revenue contracts. The Company’s longer-term success remains dependent upon its ability to convert these revenue opportunities into successful contracts, to continue to attract new client projects, expand its revenue base to a level sufficient to exceed fixed operating costs, and generate consistent positive cash flow from operations. The occurrence and timing of these events cannot be predicted with certainty.
Further financing options that may or may not be available to the Company include the issuance of new equity, debentures or bank credit facilities. The need for any of these options will be dependent on the timing of securing additional SFD® related revenues and obtaining financing on terms that are acceptable to both the Company and the financier.
The Interim Financial 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 Interim Financial Statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used. These adjustments could be material.
NXT’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits as at June 30, 2026, totaled $1,723,201. Net working capital totaled $2,089,662. See the information in the section “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Net Working Capital” for further information.
Risks related to having sufficient ongoing net working capital to execute survey project contracts are mitigated through NXT’s normal practice of obtaining advance payments and progress payments from customers throughout the course of projects, which often span three to four months. In addition, where possible, risk of default on client billings are mitigated using export insurance programs offered by Export Development Canada.
The Company does not have provisions in its leases, contracts, or other arrangements that would trigger additional funding requirements or early payments except if the Company were to default on its office lease, where the current month’s rent plus the next three months would become immediately due. If the Company were to default on the aircraft lease, the Company would be required to deliver the aircraft back to the lessor.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements as of the date of this MD&A other than office premise non-lease operating costs as per NXT’s office lease agreement. If the Company were to default on its office lease, the current month’s rent including operation costs plus the next three months become immediately due. Operating cost amounts are disclosed in the section “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations.”
NXT pays an estimated operating cost during the current year but has the obligation to pay the actual operating costs incurred as defined in the office lease in the first quarter of the following year if the estimate was low. Conversely, it will receive a refund if the estimate was too high. Currently, the Company believes that the operating cost estimate is reasonable and is consistent with discussions with the landlord under the Company’s office lease.

Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing the Interim Financial Statements, NXT is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the amount and timing of recording assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses since the determination of these items may be dependent on future events. The Company uses the most current information available and exercises careful judgment in making these estimates and assumptions. In the opinion of management, the Interim Financial Statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the Company’s significant accounting policies. These estimates and judgments include but are not limited to assessment of impairment indicators of intellectual property, recognition of SFD® related revenue, going concern considerations, estimated useful lives of intellectual property and property, plant and equipment, allowance for expected credit losses, and the assumptions used in to measure stock-based compensation expense. The estimates and assumptions used are based upon management's best estimate as at the date of the Interim Financial Statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period when determined. Actual results may differ from those estimates. These estimates and judgements are consistent with those outlined in the Company’s consolidated financial statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, other then allowance for expected credit losses.
Allowance for expected credit losses - In making the assessment of expected losses, the Company considers the following factors: historically realized bad debts; a counterparty’s present financial condition and whether a counterparty has breached certain contracts; the probability that a counterparty will enter bankruptcy; changes in economic conditions that correlate to increased levels of default and term to maturity of the specific receivable. These expected credit losses are recognized as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the amortized cost basis.
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared by management in accordance with US GAAP. The Company has consistently used US GAAP for the eight most recently completed quarters. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those outlined in NXT’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, available on NXT’s website at www.nxtenergy.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
The Company’s non-derivative financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred revenue and long-term debt. The carrying value of these financial instruments, excluding long-term debt approximates their fair values due to their short terms to maturity. NXT is not exposed to significant interest rate fluctuations arising from these financial instruments but is exposed to significant credit risk with accounts receivable. For accounts receivable, where possible, NXT requests advance payments and utilizes risk mitigation products offered by entities such as Export Development Canada including, for example, insurance coverage of contract accounts receivable, guarantee support for contract performance bonds and wrongful call insurance for such bonds.
| NXT Energy Solutions Inc. MD&A for the period ended June 30, 2026 | page | 24 |
NXT is exposed to foreign exchange risk because of holding foreign denominated financial instruments. Any unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such holdings are reflected in earnings at the end of each period. The Company does not currently enter into hedging contracts but instead uses alternative strategies to reduce the volatility of US dollar liabilities including holding excess US dollars before converting to CDN dollars.
The Company elected to measure the convertible debentures at fair value under ASC 815. Therefore, changes in fair value were measured through profit and loss.
For more information relating to risks, see the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Net Working Capital”.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures (“DCPs”) and
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”)
NXT’s CEO and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) (together the “Responsible Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining DCPs, or causing them to be designed under their supervision, for NXT to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to the Responsible Officers by others within the organization, particularly during the period in which the Company’s year-end consolidated financial statements and MD&A are being prepared.
DCPs and other procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed is recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the relevant securities’ regulatory authorities in either Canada or the United States of America. DCPs include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports is communicated to management, including our Responsible Officers, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company has established and maintains ICFR using the criteria that were set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). The control framework was designed or caused to be designed under the supervision of the Responsible Officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP.
In evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s DCPs, as defined under the rules adopted by the Canadian securities’ regulatory authorities and by the SEC, the Company’s Responsible Officers concluded that there are material weaknesses in the Company’s ICFR that have a direct impact on the Company’s DCPs:
|
| · | due to the limited number of staff, it is not feasible to achieve adequate segregation of incompatible duties. NXT partially mitigates this deficiency by adding management and Audit Committee review procedures over the areas where inadequate segregation of duties is of the greatest concern; and |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | NXT does not have a sufficient number of staff with specialized expertise to adequately conduct separate preparation and a subsequent independent review of certain complex or highly judgmental accounting issues. NXT partially mitigates this deficiency by preparing financial statements with their best judgments and estimates of complex accounting matters, and relies on reviews by management, external consultants, and the Audit Committee. |
From time to time, to reduce these risks and to supplement a small corporate finance function, the Company engages various outside experts and advisors to assist with various accounting, controls, and tax issues in the normal course.
Given the small size of the Company’s finance team, management has established a practice of increased engagement of external consultants, legal counsel, the Company’s Disclosure Committee and Audit Committee in reviewing public disclosure.

The Responsible Officers concluded that, as at June 30, 2026, NXT’s ICFR is not effective and as a result, its DCPs are not effective. NXT reached this conclusion based upon its assessment that there is a more than a remote likelihood that its ICFR will not prevent or detect material misstatements if they should exist in the Company’s Interim Financial Statements. The Responsible Officers continue to take certain actions to mitigate these material weaknesses including:
|
| · | the implementation of controls regarding review procedures surrounding its disclosure; and |
|
| · | engagement of third-party experts used above. |
In addition, the CFO engages subject matter consultants as the need arises.
There were no changes to the Company’s ICFR in Q2-26.
It should be noted that a control system, including the Company’s DCPs and ICFR, no matter how well conceived, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met, and it should not be expected that the DCPs and ICFR will prevent all errors or fraud.
