Amarc Resources Ltd.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN |
Amarc Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Amarc") is incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia ("BC"), and its principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Its principal mineral property interests are located in BC. The address of the Company's corporate office is 15th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6E 4H1.
The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. The Company's continuing operations are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to continue the exploration and development of its mineral property interests and to obtain the permits necessary to mine, and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral property interests.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Company will need to seek additional financing in the long run. The Company has a reasonable expectation that additional funds will be available when necessary to meet ongoing exploration and development costs. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to obtain additional financial resources or will achieve profitability or positive cash flows. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, the Company will be required to re-evaluate its planned expenditures until additional funds can be raised through financing activities. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that raises significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are described below. These policies have been consistently applied for all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) | Statement of compliance |
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and interpretations by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for complete financial statements for year-end reporting purposes. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2018. Results for the reporting period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of future results. The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Company in these Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its most recent annual financial statements which are filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR atwww.sedar.com.
Amarc Resources Ltd.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
The Board of Directors of the Company authorized these Financial Statements for issuance on November 26, 2018.
(b) | Basis of presentation and consolidation |
These Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as available-for-sale which are stated at fair value. In addition, these Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
These Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Company and its only subsidiary named 1130346 B.C. Ltd. (the “Subco”), incorporated under the laws of BC, for the purposes of entering into an option agreement (note 6(b)). As of September 30, 2018 the Subco did not have any asset, liability, income or expense. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year.
(c) | Significant accounting estimates and judgments |
The critical judgements and estimates applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s audited financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2018.
(d) | Accounting standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards |
Accounting policies adopted during the current period
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments
On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9,Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), which replaces IAS 39,Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement(“IAS 39”) in its entirety.
IFRS 9 largely retains the existing requirements in IAS 39 for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. However, it eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories for financial assets of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available-for-sale.
The Company has applied the changes in accounting policy retrospectively; however, in accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 9, comparative figures have not been restated. The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the Company’s accounting policies related to financial liabilities. The impact of IFRS 9 on the classification and measurement of financial assets is set out below.
Amarc Resources Ltd.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)
Under IFRS 9, on initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”) (debt/equity investment); or, Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
| ● | it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and |
| | |
| ● | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (“SPPI Test”). |
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
A debt investment is measured at FVTOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
| ● | it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and |
| | |
| ● | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income ("OCI"). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
Debt investments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVTOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition. The directly attributable transaction costs of a financial asset classified as at FVTPL are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

2015-Loan Agreement
In September 2015, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “2015-Loan Agreement”) with its Director and Chairman, Robert Dickinson (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender advanced to the Company a principal sum of $500,000 with a two-year term and at an interest rate of 7% per annum. Pursuant to the 2015-Loan Agreement, the Company issued 5,555,555 common share purchase warrants to the Lender with an expiry term of two years and exercise price of $0.09.
The 2015-Loan Agreement was fully repaid in September 2017.
2016-Loan Agreement
In November 2016, the Company and the Lender entered into another loan agreement (the “2016-Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which a previous loan agreement for a principal sum of $1,000,000 and with a due date of November 26, 2016 was extended for three years on customary conditions, and the principal sum was increased to $1,500,000 by way of an additional advance of $500,000 to fund mineral property acquisitions (note 6(b) and (c)). The 2016-Loan Agreement is subject to a fixed interest at 9% per annum.

During the year ended March 31, 2018, $500,000 of this loan was repaid to the Lender, leaving a balance outstanding of $1,000,000.
These advances were measured as financial liabilities at their (cash) transaction values, with the unamortized balance of directly applicable costs, comprised of the fair values of the bonus warrants granted, representing a partially offsetting asset balance. Such costs are being expensed pro-rata over the term of the debt, with the effect on the balance sheet presentation being that the aggregate debt is accreted towards its face value.
