AMARC RESOURCES LTD.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Three months ended June 30, 2005
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
   
     

Amarc Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, and its principal business activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Its principal mineral property interests are located in British Columbia.

 

           

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles assuming a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception and its ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its capacity to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

2.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

           

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Compania Minera Amarc, S.A. de C.V. and Amarc Exploraciones Mineras, S.A. de C.V., both of which are incorporated in Mexico. Also included are the accounts of the Precious Exploration Limited Partnership, which is subject to the Company’s control and primary beneficial ownership.

 

 

3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a)

Cash and equivalents

 

   

Cash and equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments, having maturity dates of three months or less from the date of purchase, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

 

(b)

Marketable securities

 

 

Marketable securities are recorded at the lower of cost and estimated fair value.

 

(c)

Equipment

 

   

Equipment is recorded at cost and is amortized over its estimated useful life using the declining balance method at various rates ranging from 20% to 30% per annum.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Three months ended June 30, 2005
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(d)

Reclamation deposits

 

 

Reclamation deposits are recorded at cost and are included in amounts receivable and prepaids.

 

 

(e)

Mineral property interests

 

 

The acquisition costs of mineral properties are deferred until the properties are placed into production, sold or abandoned. These costs are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated useful life of the related properties following the commencement of production or written off if the properties are sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, or when an impairment has been determined to have occurred. If the deferred mineral property costs are determined not to be recoverable over the estimated useful life or are less than estimated fair market value, the unrecoverable portion is charged to operations in that period.

 

 

Mineral property acquisition costs include the cash consideration and the fair market value of common shares, based on the trading price of the shares, on the date of issue or as otherwise provided under the agreement terms for the mineral property interest. Costs for properties for which the Company does not possess unrestricted ownership and exploration rights, such as option agreements, are expensed in the period incurred or until a feasibility study has determined that the property is capable of commercial production.

 

 

Exploration costs and option payments are expensed in the period incurred. Option payments which are solely at the Company’s discretion are recorded as they are made.

 

 

Administrative expenditures are expensed in the period incurred.

 

 

The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).

 

 

The Company also reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

(f)

Government grants

 

 

Due to the uncertainty of the approval of government grants for which the Company applies, government grants are recorded as and when the proceeds of these grants are received.

 

 

(g)

Share capital

 

 

Common shares issued for mineral property interests are recorded at the fair market value based upon the trading price of the shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date of issue or as otherwise provided under the agreement terms to issue the shares.

 

 

The proceeds from common shares issued pursuant to flow-through share financing agreements are credited to share capital as the tax benefits of the exploration expenditures incurred pursuant to these agreements are transferred to the purchaser of the flow-through shares.

 

 

Share issue costs are deducted from share capital.

 

 

(h)

Stock-based compensation

 

 

Pursuant to CICA Handbook Section 3870, “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments,” the Company commenced recording non-cash stock-based payments to employees using the fair value method on a prospective basis effective April 1, 2003. Prior to April 1, 2003, no compensation cost was required to be recorded for all other non-cash stock-based employee compensation awards. There has been no effect on any prior periods presented.

 

 

The Company accounts for all non-cash stock-based payments to non-employees, and employee awards that are direct awards of shares that call for settlement in cash or other assets, or that are share appreciation rights which call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments, using the fair value method.

 

 

Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of non-cash stock-based payments is periodically re-measured until counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the period and in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity instruments. The cost of non-cash stock-based payments to service providers that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date. For awards that vest at the end of a vesting period, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis; for awards that vest on a graded basis, compensation cost is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period.




AMARC RESOURCES LTD.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Three months ended June 30, 2005
(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Consideration received by the Company upon the exercise of share purchase options, and the stock-based compensation previously credited to contributed surplus related to such options, is credited to share capital.

 

 

(i)

Use of estimates

 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the determination of potential impairments of asset values, and rates for amortization of equipment, as well as the assumptions used in determining the fair value of non-cash stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

(j)

Foreign currency translation

 

 

All of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered integrated.

 

 

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company and its integrated foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates unless such items are carried at market, in which case they are translated at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses, except amortization, are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Amortization is translated at the same exchange rates as the assets to which it relates. Foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in the statement of operations.

 

 

(k)

Income taxes

 

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their corresponding tax values, generally using the enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

 

Future income tax assets also result from unused loss carryforwards and other deductions. Future tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized. The valuation of future income tax assets is adjusted, if necessary, by the use of a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated realizable amount.

 

 

The Company’s accounting policy for future income taxes currently has no effect on the consolidated financial statements of any of the periods presented.

(l)

Loss per share

 

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

 

Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period.

 

 

(m)

Fair value of financial instruments

 

 

The carrying values of cash and equivalents, amounts receivable and prepaids, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. The fair value of balances receivable from related parties is not readily determinable due to the related party nature of these amounts and the absence of a secondary market for such instruments. The Company is not exposed to significant credit risk or interest rate risk.

 

 

Warrants received by the Company pursuant to certain private placement and option agreements described in note 4 and note 6 are classified as derivative financial instruments and are recorded on the balance sheet as marketable securities at estimated fair value. Changes in the fair value of a derivative financial instrument are charged to operations if the instrument does not qualify as a hedge, or as an offset to the item hedged, if it does qualify as a hedge. The Company has not designated any of its warrants as a hedging instrument.

 

 

(n)

Comparative figures

 

 

Certain of the prior periods’ comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted for the current period.

(i)

Buck Property

 

 

 

In January 2004, the Company entered into agreements to acquire a 100% interest in the Buck mineral property. The 4,750 hectare Buck property, located 20 kilometers south of Houston, was acquired from United Mineral Services Ltd., a private company owned by a director of the Company, by reimbursing the $65,929 cost of staking the property, line cutting to establish a survey grid over it and by performing an induced polarization geophysical survey on the property.

 

 

 

On July 9, 2004, the Company reached an option agreement with Chatworth Resources Inc. (“Chatworth”) (then, GMD Resource Corp.) pursuant to which Chatworth can earn a 50% interest in the Buck project by (i) issuing 100,000 units comprised of 100,000 common shares of Chatworth at a deemed price of $0.05 per share, (ii) issuing 100,000 two-year share purchase warrants exercisable at $0.10 per share in the first year and $0.15 per share in the second year, and (iii) incurring exploration expenditures totaling $500,000 over five years, with a minimum annual expenditure of $100,000.

 

 

 

Upon acceptance of the option agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange on July 16, 2004, 100,000 common shares and 100,000 warrants of Chatworth were received by the Company. The 100,000 pre-consolidation Chatworth shares with a value of $5,000 were credited against the acquisition cost of the property. Chatworth subsequently completed a 6-for-1 share consolidation.

(ii)          RAD and Sitka Properties

In January 2004, the Company entered into agreements to acquire 100% interests in each of the RAD and Sitka mineral properties. The 2,000 hectare RAD property, located 250 kilometers west of Williams Lake, was acquired from United Mineral Services Ltd., a private company owned by a director of the Company, by reimbursing the $8,000 staking cost. The Company has no current plans to conduct further exploration work on this property. Consequently, the acquisition costs totaling $8,000 were expensed in the year ended March 31, 2005.

The Company continues to maintain the property in good standing.

The 1,275 hectare Sitka Gold property ("Sitka"), located 30 kilometers northeast of Port Hardy, was acquired by the Company for $20,000 in cash and the issuance of 80,000 common shares of the Company to an arm's length party. During February 2004 to August 2004, the Company conducted technical reviews of the Sitka property. The Company has no current plans to conduct further exploration work on this property and consequently, the acquisition costs totaling $68,000 were expensed in the year ended March 31, 2005.

The Company continues to maintain the property in good standing.

(iii)         Nechako Properties (formerly “Bob and JMD” Properties)

In January 2004, the Company entered into agreements to acquire a 100% interest in the Nechako mineral properties. The 1,300 hectare Nechako properties, located 80 kilometers west of Quesnel, were acquired by issuing a total of 200,000 common shares of the Company to two arm's length parties. Of these 200,000 common shares, 50,000 were not due to be issued until the Company reached a third party joint venture agreement or completed a total of $250,000 in exploration expenditures.

In November 2004, the Company signed an option agreement with Endurance Gold Corporation (“Endurance Gold”), an arm's length private company, whereby Endurance Gold can acquire a 60% interest in the properties by issuing in staged payments to the Company 250,000 common shares, and by incurring $250,000 in exploration work over the next three years. The agreement was conditional upon Endurance Gold becoming a publicly-listed company, which Endurance fulfilled in July 2005, by becoming a publicly-listed company on the TSX Venture Exchange. In August 2005, the Company received its first payment of 50,000 common shares of Endurance Gold.

At the end of the option period, the Company and Endurance Gold may enter into a joint venture to develop the property with the Company owning 40% and Endurance Gold owning 60%. The two arm's length parties from whom the property was acquired waived their right to the 50,000 common shares of the Company referred to above.

(ix) Farm out agreement

 

 

On November 1, 2004 the Company signed an agreement with Rockwell Ventures Inc. (“Rockwell”), a public company related with certain directors in common with the Company, whereby Rockwell was granted the right to earn an interest in each of the Crystal, Hook, Kal, M2, M3, M5 and Tsil properties by incurring $600,000 in exploration expenditures on these properties by December 31, 2004. Rockwell completed this expenditure requirement in December 2004.

 

 

(b)

Durango State, Mexico Inde Property

 

 

The Inde Property comprises approximately 270 hectares located in Durango State, Mexico, and consists of five mineral concessions, of which three were owned outright by the Company and two were held under option.

 

 

In December 2003, and concurrent with an amendment to the underlying option agreement, the Company optioned the Inde Property to Minera Bugambilias, S.A. de C.V. ("Bugambilias"). Bugambilias could have earned up to a 70% interest in the Inde Property by exercising two options and was also required to make all necessary option payments to the underlying property vendor.

 

 

In January 2004, the Company reached an option agreement with Sydney Resource Corporation (“Sydney”) pursuant to which Sydney can earn a 51% interest in the Inde Property by (i) incurring $2.2 million in exploration expenses within 3 years and (ii) issuing 300,000 warrants at exercisable at $0.52 per share until February 4, 2006.

 

 

Upon acceptance of the option agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange on April 27, 2004, 300,000 warrants of Sydney were received by the Company. The Sydney warrants were recorded as a reduction in exploration expenses at an estimated fair value of $102,000 using an option pricing model. Assumptions used in this calculation included: (i) risk free rate of 3%, (ii) expected volatility of 131%, (iii) an estimated life of 1.41 years and (iv) an expected dividend rate of nil.

 

 

On October 14, 2004, Bugambilias terminated its option. The Company then terminated its option agreement with the underlying vendor, and pursuant to that agreement also relinquished, to the underlying vendor, the three concessions which it owned. Consequently, the Company has no further interest in the Inde Property.
