Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

   

Amarc Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Amarc") 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 ("BC"). The address of the Company's corporate office is 15th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6E 4H8.

   

These condensed interim financial statements (the "Financial Statements") of the Company for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 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 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. 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. Management believes that its current liquid assets are sufficient to meet all current obligations and to maintain its mineral rights in good standing in the foreseeable future. These Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may 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, 2013. Results for the period ended December 31, 2013 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, other than in note 2(d), in its most recent annual financial statements which are filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

   

A committee of the Board of Directors of the Company authorized these Financial Statements on February 27, 2014 for issuance.

(b)

Basis of presentation

   

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.

   

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year.

   
(c)

Accounting standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards

   

Accounting policies adopted during the current year

   

Effective April 1, 2013, the Company has applied the following new accounting standards which were issued by the IASB:


  Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
  IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement
  IAS 19, Employee Benefits
  IFRIC 20, Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine

The amendments to IAS 1 require separate presentation of items of other comprehensive income that are reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and those that are not reclassified to profit or loss. Other than change in presentation and disclosure, there was no material impact of the new and amended accounting standards adopted during the period.

Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014

  Amendments to IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation

Effective date to be determined

  IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

The Company has not early adopted these new standards or amendments to existing standards and does not expect the impact of these standards on the Company's financial statements to be material.

   
3.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

   

The Company's cash and cash equivalents are invested in business and savings accounts which are available on demand by the Company.

4. RESTRICTED CASH
   

Restricted cash in the amount of $252,666 (March 31, 2013 – $266,802) represents guaranteed investment certificates held in support of exploration permits. The amounts are refundable subject to the consent of regulatory authorities, upon the completion of any required reclamation work on the related projects.

In February 2014, subsequent to the reporting date, the current portion of BC METC in the amount of $1,277,275 was received by the Company.

   
6.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

   

As at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013 the Company held common shares in several public and private companies. These marketable securities are classified as available–for–sale financial assets and are carried at fair value.

   

During the current reporting period, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $48,225 on certain marketable securities, which reflects the decline in their respective trading prices below cost. Management considers the aggregate decline in fair value to be significant and prolonged, and accordingly, it has been recorded within current operations.

   

During the current reporting period, the Company disposed of certain marketable securities and recognized a gain of $61,250 on the disposition. Proceeds from the disposition were $61,250 of which $23,000 was received during the period and the remaining $38,250 was received after the reporting period. The cumulative change in fair value of these available-for-sale marketable securities of $6,125 has been transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income to profit and loss. The disposition relates to the termination of the option agreement for the Tulox property (note 7(e)).

Royalty

The mineral claims are subject to an underlying 2% NSR. Amarc has the right to purchase half of the royalty (1%) for $2 million (payable in cash, Amarc common shares, or any such combination, at Amarc's discretion) at any time prior to commercial production. Amarc has the right to purchase the remaining half of the royalty (1%) for $2 million (payable in cash, Amarc common shares, or any such combination, at Amarc's discretion) prior to December 31, 2018.

The Tulox Property (the "Property") is located in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, and was acquired by the Company in stages by staking between 2005 to 2007.

  

Commencing in 2009, the Company entered into an option agreement with Tulox Resources Inc. ("Tulox") whereby Tulox could have acquired up to a 100% interest in the Property by making certain share issuances to Amarc and incurring certain exploration expenditures over a specified period of time. In 2011, Tulox assigned the option agreement to its subsidiary, Newlox Gold Ventures Corp. ("Newlox"), as part of a corporate reorganization. Further changes to the option agreement were made, pursuant to which the number of shares to be issued, and the exploration spending commitments and timing thereof were amended. To November 2013, Tulox and Newlox had issued 1,375,000 common shares to Amarc.

In November 2013, Newlox terminated its option agreement on the Property. Amarc agreed to sell its 1,375,000 common shares of Newlox to Newlox for proceeds of $68,750. To December 31, 2013, 1,225,000 Newlox common shares had been sold to Newlox for proceeds of $61,250 (note 6). The remaining 150,000 Newlox common shares are expected to be sold subsequent to the current reporting period.

   

In November 2013, Amarc allowed the Tulox claims to lapse.

Galaxie and ZNT Properties

   

The Galaxie property is located approximately 8 kilometres south of Dease Lake, British Columbia and the ZNT property is located approximately 15 kilometres southeast of the town of Smithers, British Columbia.

   

The Company entered into a letter agreement with Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (Quartz Mountain) effective November 1, 2012 (the "Letter Agreement"), with respect to Quartz Mountain's 100%-owned Galaxie and ZNT properties (the "Properties"). Quartz Mountain is a publicly listed company with certain directors in common with the Company.

   

Amarc earned an initial 40% ownership interest in the Properties by making a cash payment of $1 million to Quartz Mountain, and by funding an additional $1 million in exploration expenditures incurred by Quartz Mountain relating to the Galaxie property by December 31, 2012. On December 31, 2012, a joint arrangement (the "Galaxie ZNT Project") was formed, in which Amarc held an initial interest of 40% and Quartz Mountain held an initial interest of 60%.

   

Quartz Mountain also transferred to the Galaxie ZNT Project its obligation under a debenture security (note 9).

   

In June 2013, the Company entered into an amendment agreement whereby:


  (i)

the Galaxie ZNT Project was divided into two separate joint arrangements, named the "Galaxie Joint Venture" and the "ZNT Joint Venture"; and

     
  (ii)

Amarc received an option to increase its interest in each joint arrangement from 40% to 60% by funding exploration programs of $235,000 and $210,000, respectively, on these projects prior to October 31, 2013.


By October 31, 2013, Amarc had funded in excess of $210,000 on the ZNT Joint Venture, thereby increasing its interest in the joint venture to 60%, but had not funded the required amount on Galaxie, thereby maintaining its interest in the Galaxie Joint Venture at 40%.

   

A portion of the Galaxie properties, known as the Gnat property, is subject to a 1% NSR, capped at aggregate payments of $7,500,000.

Yukon Territory and Saskatchewan

   

The Company has a 5% net profits interest ("NPI") in the 46 mineral claims comprising the Ana Property in the Yukon, and a 2.5% NPI in a mineral lease comprising the Mann Lake Property in Saskatchewan. These net profit interests have been recorded at a nominal value of $1 each. The Company has neither active exploration programs nor does it plan to undertake any new programs on these properties at the present time.

QUARTZ MOUNTAIN DEBENTURE OBLIGATION


  Balance, April 1, 2012 $  –  
  Amarc's proportionate share of the debenture obligation acquired (40% of $650,000)   260,000  
  Balance, March 31, 2013   260,000  
  Amarc's proportionate share of principal repayments during the period (40% of $50,000)   (20,000 )
  Balance, December 31, 2013 $  240,000  

Quartz Mountain transferred to the Galaxie Joint Venture its obligation under a debenture security which Quartz Mountain had issued (note 7(f)). The Company's proportionate share (40%) of this obligation is reflected as a liability of the Company. Because the debenture agreement was entered into by Quartz Mountain and the holder of the debenture, Amarc’s proportionate share of this obligation is payable by Amarc to Quartz Mountain upon maturity.

In July 2013, Quartz Mountain and the holder of the debenture entered into an agreement to amend the debenture, whereby among other things, the principal amount of the debenture was reduced to $600,000 from $650,000, the interest rate was increased to 10% per annum from 8% per annum, and the maturity date was extended to October 31, 2014 from October 31, 2013.

Interest payments for the debenture are payable quarterly in arrears and the debenture is convertible into the common shares of Quartz Mountain. In the event that any portion of the debenture is converted, the Company will have an obligation to compensate Quartz Mountain based on the Company’s proportionate share of the debenture that is extinguished as a result of a conversion.
