1.
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Canarc Resource Corp. (the “Company”), a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on January 22, 1987, is in the mineral exploration business and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves. The recoverability of amounts capitalized for mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of reserves in its mineral property interests, the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing and receive necessary permitting for the exploration and development of its mineral property interests, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. The address of the Company’s registered office is #910 – 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 2V6 and its principal place of business is #810 – 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 2T6.
The Company has no operating revenues, has incurred a significant net loss of $297,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (March 31, 2019 - $160,000) and has a deficit of $47.9 million as at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $$47.6 million). In addition, the Company has negative cash flows from operations. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and repayment of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the Company to raise debt or equity financings, and the attainment of profitable operations. Management continues to find opportunities to raise the necessary capital to meet its planned business objectives and continues to seek financing opportunities. There can be no assurance that management’s plans will be successful. These matters indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated interim 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, and such adjustments could be material.
2.
Basis of Presentation
(a)
Statement of compliance:
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required for full and complete annual financial statements, and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies for all periods as presented. Certain of the prior periods’ comparative figures may have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.
(b)
Approval of condensed consolidated interim financial statements:
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 13, 2020.

Basis of Presentation (continued)
(c)
Basis of presentation:
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as disclosed in Note 5. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
(d)
Functional currency and presentation currency:
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar, and accounts denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar have been translated as follows:
•
Monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate at the consolidated statement of financial position date;
•
Non-monetary assets and liabilities at the historical exchange rates, unless such items are carried at fair value, in which case they are translated at the date when the fair value was determined;
•
Shareholders’ equity items at historical exchange rates; and
•
Revenue and expense items at the rate of exchange on the transaction date.
The Company’s presentation currency is the United States dollar. For presentation purposes, all amounts are translated from the Canadian dollar functional currency to the United States dollar presentation currency for each period. Statement of financial position accounts, with the exception of equity, are translated using the exchange rate at the end of each reporting period, transactions on the statement of comprehensive loss are recorded at the average rate of exchange during the period, and equity accounts are translated using historical actual exchange rates.
Exchange gains and losses arising from translation to the Company’s presentation currency are recorded as cumulative translation adjustment, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
(e)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements:
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements along with the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and, as such, estimates and judgements and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to determining the recoverability of mineral property interests, receivables and long-term investments; valuation of certain marketable securities; the determination of accrued liabilities; accrued site remediation; amount of flow-through obligations; fair value of deferred royalty liability and lease liability; recognition of deferred income tax liability; the variables used in the determination of the fair value of stock options granted and finder’s fees warrants issued or modified; and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. While management believes the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

2.
Basis of Presentation (continued)
(e)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements: (continued)
The Company applies judgment in assessing the functional currency of each entity consolidated in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is determined using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates.
For right of use assets and lease liability, the Company applies judgement in determining whether the contract contains an identified asset, whether they have the right to control the asset, and the lease term. The lease term is based on considering facts and circumstances, both qualitative and quantitative, that can create an economic incentive to exercise renewal options. Management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option.
The Company applies judgment in assessing whether material uncertainties exist that would cast substantial doubt as to whether the Company could continue as a going concern.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses each of its mineral resource properties to determine whether any indication of impairment exists. Judgment is required in determining whether indicators of impairment exist, including factors such as: the period for which the Company has the right to explore; expected renewals of exploration rights; whether substantive expenditures on further exploration and evaluation of resource properties are budgeted or planned; and results of exploration and evaluation activities on the exploration and evaluation assets.
Judgment is applied in determining whether disposal groups or cash generating unit represent a component of the entity, the results of which should be recorded in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and cash flows.
(f)
New accounting standards and recent pronouncements:
The standards listed below include only those which the Company reasonably expects may be applicable to the Company in the current period and at a future date. The Company is currently assessing the impact of these future standards on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

New accounting standards and recent pronouncements: (continued)
The following standards will become effective in future periods:
(i)
IFRS 17 Insurance contracts
This new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts. The new standard applies to insurance contracts an entity issues and reinsurance contracts it holds.
The main features of the new standard are as follows:
●
An entity divides insurance contracts into groups that it will recognize and measure.
●
Groups of insurance contracts are recognized and measured at:
o
a risk-adjusted present value of estimated future cash flows (the fulfillment cash flows); and
o
an amount representing the unearned profit in the group of contracts (the contractual service margin).
●
An entity can choose to apply a simplified measurement approach (the premium allocation approach) when certain criteria are met.
●
The profit from a group of insurance contracts is recognized over the period the entity provides insurance coverage and as it is released from risk. If a group of contracts is or becomes loss-making, the loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately.
●
An entity presents separately insurance revenue and insurance service expenses, and insurance finance income or expenses.
●
An entity discloses qualitative and quantitative information about the amounts recognized in its financial statements from insurance contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments made in applying IFRS 17, and the nature and extent of the risks that arise from insurance contracts.
The new standard supersedes the requirements in IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts.
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, with earlier application permitted for entities that also apply IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

(ii)
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
This new Interpretation, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in June 2017, clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.
The main features of IFRIC 23 are as follows:
●
An entity considers an uncertain tax treatment separately or together with other uncertain tax treatments depending on which approach better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.
●
Taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates are determined based on whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment.
●
An entity reassesses judgments or estimates relating to uncertain tax treatments when facts and circumstances change.
The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021.
(iii)
Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011))
The amendments clarify the treatment of the sale or contribution of assets from an investor to its associate or joint venture, as follows:
●
requires full recognition in the investor's financial statements of gains and losses arising on the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business (as defined in Business Combinations).
●
requires the partial recognition of gains and losses where the assets do not constitute a business, i.e., a gain or loss is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in that associate or joint venture.
These requirements apply regardless of the legal form of the transaction, e.g., whether the sale or contribution of assets occurs by an investor transferring shares in a subsidiary that holds the assets (resulting in loss of control of the subsidiary), or by the direct sale of the assets themselves.
The effective date of the amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 issued by the IASB in September 2014 has been deferred indefinitely, with earlier application permitted.

The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
The revised Conceptual Framework, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in March 2018, replaces the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (issued by the IASB in September 2010).
The revised Conceptual Framework includes the following:
●
Concepts on measurement, including factors to consider when selecting a measurement basis.
●
Concepts on presentation and disclosure, including when to classify income and expenses in other comprehensive income.
●
Guidance on determining the boundary of a reporting entity.
●
Updated definitions of an asset and a liability.
●
Updated criteria for recognizing assets and liabilities in financial statements, and guidance on when to remove them.
●
Clarification on the roles of stewardship, prudence, measurement uncertainty and substance over form.
The IASB and the IFRS Interpretations Committee began using the revised Conceptual Framework immediately after it was issued. The effective date for stakeholders who develop an accounting policy based on the Conceptual Framework is for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted.

Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
(a)
Basis of consolidation:
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including New Polaris Gold Mines Ltd. and American Innovative Minerals LLC (“AIM”). The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
(b)
Financial instruments:
The Company categorizes financial instruments measured at fair value at one of three levels according to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate fair values. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities included in Level 1 are determined by reference to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities in Level 2 are valued using inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data. Level 3 valuations are based on inputs that are not based on observable market data.
(c)
Mineral property interests:
All costs related to investments in mineral property interests are capitalized on a property-by-property basis. Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries. The costs related to a mineral property from which there is production, together with the costs of mining equipment, will be amortized using the unit-of-production method. When there is little prospect of further work on a property being carried out by the Company or its partners or when a property is abandoned or when the capitalized costs are not considered to be economically recoverable, the related property costs are written down to the amount recoverable.
From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property interest pursuant to the terms of a property option agreement. As the property options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Property option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. Proceeds received on the sale or property option of the Company’s property interest is recorded as a reduction of the mineral property cost. The Company recognizes in income those costs that are recovered on mineral property interests when amounts received or receivable are in excess of the carrying amount.
The amounts shown for mineral property interests represent costs incurred to date and include advance net smelter return (“NSR”) royalties, less recoveries and write-downs, and are not intended to reflect present or future values.

4.
Management of Capital
The Company is an exploration stage company and this involves a high degree of risk. The Company has not determined whether its mineral property interests contain reserves of ore and currently has not earned any revenues from its mineral property interests and, therefore, does not generate cash flows from operations. The Company’s primary source of funds comes from the issuance of share capital and proceeds from debt. The Company has generated cash inflows from the disposition of marketable securities. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company defines its capital as debt and share capital. Capital requirements are driven by the Company’s exploration activities on its mineral property interests. To effectively manage the Company’s capital requirements, the Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet its strategic goals. The Company monitors actual expenses to budget on all exploration projects and overhead to manage costs, commitments and exploration activities.
The Company has in the past invested its capital in liquid investments to obtain adequate returns. The investment decision is based on cash management to ensure working capital is available to meet the Company’s short-term obligations while maximizing liquidity and returns of unused capital.
Although the Company has been successful at raising funds in the past through the issuance of share capital, it is uncertain whether it will be able to continue this financing in the future. The Company will continue to rely on debt and equity financings to meet its commitments as they become due, to continue exploration work on its mineral property interests, and to meet its administrative overhead costs for the coming periods.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
5.
Management of Financial Risk
The Company has classified its financial instruments under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) as follows:
IFRS 9 | |
Financial Assets | |
Cash | Fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") |
Marketable securities | FVTPL |
Receivables | Amortized cost |
Financial Liability | |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost |
Deferred royalty liability | Amortized cost |
Lease liability | Amortized cost |

Management of Financial Risk (continued)
The Company has classified its cash and marketable securities as financial assets at FVTPL; receivables as financial assets at amortized cost; and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, flow through premium liability, deferred royalty liability and lease liability as financial liabilities at amortized cost.
The Company’s investment in shares of Aztec Metals Corp., a company sharing one common director, (“AzMet”) is classified as FVTPL. There is no separately quoted market value for the Company’s investments in the shares of AzMet which have $Nil book value.
The fair values of the Company’s receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the short terms to maturity. Cash and certain marketable securities are measured at fair values using Level 1 inputs. Other marketable securities are measured using Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Deferred royalty and lease liabilities are measured using Level 2 inputs.
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk which includes foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. The types of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed are provided as follows.
(a)
Credit risk:
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality Canadian financial institutions.
Management has reviewed the items comprising the accounts receivable balance which may include amounts receivable from certain related parties, and determined that all accounts are collectible; accordingly, there has been no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded.
(b)
Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.
The Company ensures that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's holdings of cash and its ability to raise equity financings. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital of $1.7 million (December 31, 2019 – $1.9 million). The Company has sufficient funding to meet its short-term liabilities and administrative overhead costs, and to maintain its mineral property interests in 2020.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are due in less than 90 days.
(c)
Market risk:
The significant market risk exposures to which the Company is exposed are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
(i)
Foreign currency risk:
Certain of the Company’s mineral property interests and operations are in Canada. Most of its operating expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars. Fluctuations in the Canadian dollar would affect the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as its functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and fluctuations in the U.S. dollar would impact its cumulative translation adjustment as its condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.
The Company is exposed to currency risk for its U.S. dollar equivalent of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars as follows:
Stated in U.S. Dollars | ||
(Held in Canadian Dollars) | ||
March 31, | December 31, | |
2020 | 2019 | |

Management of Financial Risk (continued)
(c)
Market risk: (continued)
(i)
Foreign currency risk: (continued)
Based upon the above net exposure as at March 31, 2020 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% (December 31, 2019 - 5%) depreciation or appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could result in a decrease (increase) of approximately $158,000 (December 31, 2019 - $91,000) in the cumulative translation adjustment in the Company’s shareholders’ equity.
The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.
(ii)
Interest rate risk:
In respect of financial assets, the Company's policy is to invest excess cash at floating rates of interest in cash equivalents, in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return. Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of cash equivalents. The Company’s investments in guaranteed investment certificates bear a fixed rate and are cashable at any time prior to maturity date. Interest rate risk is not significant to the Company as it has no cash equivalents at period-end.
(iii)
Other price risk:
Other price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices.
The Company’s other price risk includes equity price risk, whereby investment in marketable securities are held for trading financial assets with fluctuations in quoted market prices recorded at FVTPL. There is no separately quoted market value for the Company’s investments in the shares of certain strategic investments.
As certain of the Company’s marketable securities are carried at market value and are directly affected by fluctuations in value of the underlying securities, the Company considers its financial performance and cash flows could be materially affected by such changes in the future value of the Company’s marketable securities. Based upon the net exposure as at March 31, 2020 and assuming all other variables remain constant, a net increase or decrease of 60% (December 31, 2019 - 80%) in the market prices of the underlying securities would increase or decrease respectively net (loss) income by $59,000 (December 31, 2019 - $83,000).
In June 2018, the normal course issuer bid was adopted whereby the Company may acquire up to 10.9 million common shares of the Company, and shall pay the prevailing market price at the time of purchase, and which terminated on June 20, 2019. The cash consideration paid for any such purchases would be subject to fluctuations in the market price of its common shares. (Note 10(b)(ii)).

Mineral Property Interests (continued)
(e)
Title to mineral property interests:
The Company has diligently investigated rights of ownership of all of its mineral property interests/concessions and, to the best of its knowledge, all agreements relating to such ownership rights are in good standing. However, all properties and concessions may be subject to prior claims, agreements or transfers, and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.
(f)
Realization of assets:
The Company’s investment in and expenditures on its mineral property interests comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in these assets is dependent on establishing legal ownership of the mineral properties, on the attainment of successful commercial production or from the proceeds of their disposal. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests is dependent upon the existence of reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of the properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.
(g)
Environmental:
Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation of the Company’s operation may cause additional expenses and restrictions.
If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated.
The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous materials and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its current properties and former properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former mineral property interests that may result in material liability to the Company.

The exercise price of each stock option cannot be lower than the last recorded sale of a board lot on the TSX during the trading day immediately preceding the date of granting or, if there was no such date, the high/low average price for the common shares on the TSX based on the last five trading days before the date of the grant.

Vesting of stock options is made at the discretion of the board at the time the stock options are granted.
At the discretion of the board, certain stock option grants provide the holder the right to receive the number of common shares, valued at the quoted market price at the time of exercise of the stock options, that represent the share appreciation since granting the stock options.
