Arc Minerals Ltd
('Arc' or the 'Company')
Interim Results
The Company is pleased to announce its unaudited financial results for the six months ended 30 September 2020.
The Interim Results are set out on the following pages.
Conversion of Loan Notes
The Company also announces that the remaining Convertible Loan Note ("CLN") Lender has notified the Company that they are converting at the last equity financing price of 3.5 pence per share the remaining balance of the principal CLN debt plus accrued interest, totalling GBP220,275, resulting in the issuance of 6,293,572 ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Conversion Shares") to the CLN Lender. Following the conversion, the balance of the convertible loan note facility will be nil.
Application will be made for the Conversion Shares to be admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). The Conversion Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of no par value in the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Admission is expected to occur on or around 26 January 2021.
Total voting rights
Following the issue of the Conversion Shares, the total issued share capital of the Company consists of 1,044,064,936 Ordinary Shares of no par value with voting rights. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 1,044,064,936 and this figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the period ended 30 September 2020
1. Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on a going concern basis and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations adopted for use in the European Union ("IFRS") and those parts of the BVI Business Companies Act applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements contained in this document do not constitute statutory accounts. In the opinion of the directors, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for this period fairly presents the financial position, result of operations and cash flows for this period.
The Board of Directors approved this Interim Financial Report on 20 January 2021.
Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the AIM Rules for Companies. As permitted, the Company has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" in preparing these interim condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.
Accounting policies
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2020 have not been audited or reviewed in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 issued by the Auditing Practices Board. The figures were prepared using applicable accounting policies and practices consistent with those adopted in the statutory annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020.
Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group's investment in associates includes any goodwill identified on acquisition.
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
The Group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in the other comprehensive income section of the statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amounts of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to 'share of profit/(loss) of associates' in the statement of comprehensive income.
Gains and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the group and its associates are recognised in the Group's financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor's interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in associates are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
2. Financial Risk Management
Risks and uncertainties
The Board continually assesses and monitors the key risks of the business. The key risks that could affect the Group's medium-term performance and the factors that mitigate those risks have not substantially changed from those set out in the Group's 2020 Annual Report and Financial Statements, a copy of which is available from the Group's website: www.arcminerals.com. The key financial risks are market risk, including currency risk, and liquidity.
