THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007
The Groups income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $7,281 million, an increase of 6%
compared to 2006 reflecting higher earnings in Chemicals and the Corporate segment partially offset
by lower earnings in Exploration & Production and Oil Products.
Exploration & Production
Segment earnings were $3,508 million compared to $3,743 million a year ago. First quarter 2007
earnings included a net income of $104 million, reflecting both a gain from divestments of $126
million and a charge of $22 million related to the mark-to-market valuation of certain UK gas
contracts. Exploration & Production first quarter 2006 earnings included net gains of $113 million
(mainly related to the resolution of contractual issues, partly offset by a $34 million charge
related to the mark-to-market valuation of certain UK gas contracts).
Earnings reflected lower production volumes and oil and gas prices, higher costs, reflecting current industry conditions and increased pre-development activity levels, compared to the first quarter 2006.
Liquids realisations were 5% lower than a year ago, approximately in line with the marker crudes Brent (-7%) and WTI (-8%). Outside the USA gas realisations decreased by 1% whereas in the USA gas realisations decreased by 25%.
First quarter 2007 production was 3,509 thousand boe per day compared to 3,746 thousand boe per day a year ago. Year-on-year, oil production was broadly unchanged. Unusually low seasonal gas demand related to warm weather in North West Europe continued to impact gas sales.
Production compared to the first quarter 2006 included volumes from new fields including Erha (Shell share 44%) in Nigeria, E8 and B12 (Shell share 50%) in Malaysia, BlackRock (Shell share 100%) in Canada, Pohokura (Shell share 48%) in New Zealand, Enfield (Shell share 21%) in Australia, Changbei (Shell share 50%) in China and Champion West Phase III (Shell share 50%) in Brunei.
Production from Shell Petroleum Development Companys Nigerian operations was 78 thousand boe per day (Shell share) lower than a year ago due to deferred production mainly in the Western Delta resulting from security concerns. At the end of the quarter, 188 thousand boe per day (Shell share) remained shut-in. Efforts continue towards restoring safe operational conditions in the Niger Delta and, following an improvement in the security situation, preparations for a restart are underway. No firm date can be given for a return to full production, nor the rate of ramp-up to full production. Restricted access to the area continues to impact the future drilling programme and the progress of new projects.
Gas & Power
Segment earnings were $803 million compared to $760 million a year ago. First quarter 2007 earnings
included a net income of $39 million, reflecting gains of $110 million related to divestments and a
charge of $71 million related to gas contract mark-to-market valuation.
LNG equity sales volumes of 3.30 million tonnes were 10% higher than in the same quarter a year ago, driven by additional sales at Nigeria LNG (Shell share 26%) due to increased feedgas supply. This was complemented by high plant reliability across all of our LNG joint venture liquefaction plants.
Marketing and trading earnings benefited from storage optimisation in the first quarter 2007, but were lower than in the same period last year mainly due to milder weather in the first quarter 2007.
Royal Dutch Shell plc 2
Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report
Oil Products
Segment earnings were $1,802 million compared to $2,103 million for the same period last year. The
impact of price volatility on inventory had a positive impact on first quarter earnings of $314
million compared with $770 million in the first quarter of 2006. In addition, earnings were
negatively affected by reduced refinery utilisation, higher operating costs, reduced trading
profits, charges of $176 million related to the impairment of certain assets and tax charges
compared to first quarter 2006. These negative effects on earnings were partly offset by higher
earnings due to higher refining margins, increased retail marketing margins and stronger margins in
Lubricants.
In Manufacturing, Supply and Distribution, industry refining margins were up significantly on the US West Coast, Europe and the East. Strong US Gulf Coast margins continued at similar levels to the first quarter of 2006. Refinery availability declined to 85.3% from 89.9% in the first quarter of 2006 mainly due to high levels of planned maintenance.
In Marketing, earnings increased compared to the same period a year ago mainly due to higher retail marketing margins, improved finished lubricants margins and continued strong base oil margins.
Marketing sales volumes declined 4.6% compared to volumes in the first quarter of 2006, including the impact of divested volumes (2.1%) and rationalised B2B and Retail volumes (0.7%).
Chemicals
Segment earnings were $527 million compared to $183 million for the same period last year. Earnings
reflected improved margins and higher profits from equity-accounted investments, partly offset by
lower trading earnings when compared to the same quarter in 2006. Higher earnings from
equity-accounted investments included a full quarter of the Nanhai petrochemicals complex in China
(Shell share 50%), which started up during the first quarter 2006. Sales volumes declined 6% mainly
due to a reduction in sales of lower margin products, including aromatics trading, as well as the
marketing impact of planned turnaround activities in the Middle East. Chemicals manufacturing plant
availability was 91% approximately in line with availability rates in the first quarter 2006.
Corporate
Segment results were $801 million, including realisation of gains on the sale of the equity
portfolio held by the Group insurance companies of some $404 million, compared to $227 million for
the same period last year.
Earnings reflected higher capitalised interest, higher insurance underwriting income and lower currency exchange rate results when compared to the first quarter 2006.
PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007
Exploration & Production
In China, Shell and PetroChina started commercial production and gas delivery from the Changbei gas field.
In New Zealand, Shell delivered first offshore gas from the Pohokura field. This follows the delivery of onshore gas achieved in September 2006.
Shell sold 45% of the newly created Shell Technology Ventures Fund 1 BV (STV), an energy technology fund, to Coller Capital. Shell will remain the majority shareholder in the fund, which will focus on investing in non-exclusive Shell and third party exploration and production technologies.
Gas & Power
In Australia, the North West Shelf venture (Shell direct and indirect interests 22%) completed the renewal of long-term LNG purchase commitments with eight Japanese customers, totaling 4.3 million tonnes per annum over 6 to 8 years as from 2009.

Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report
Oil Products
In the first quarter, Shell announced the sale of the Los Angeles Refinery, Wilmington Products
Terminal and approximately 250 retail sites to Tesoro Corporation. The sale of the refinery,
terminal and retail sites is expected to close in mid-2007 after all regulatory approvals are
obtained.
Shell announced a strategic review of the Petit-Couronne and Reichstett-Vendenheim refineries and the Berre-lEtang refinery site complex in France, with a combined capacity of around 300 thousand barrels per day (Shell share 100%), and the Yabucoa petrochemical feedstock refinery in Puerto Rico, which has a capacity of 79 thousand barrels per day (Shell share 100%).
In Ukraine, Shell and OJSC Alliance Group announced a commitment to establish a joint venture to operate 150 Shell branded retail sites. Shell will have a 51% share of the joint venture. Start-up of operations is subject to fulfilment of certain conditions and regulatory approval.
In Europe, Shell signed agreements for the sale of its LPG businesses in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Romania, Spain and Switzerland. The sale is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close later this year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Three months ended March 31, 2007
Cash flow provided by operating activities in the three-month period to March 31, 2007 was $11.2
billion compared to $7.8 billion a year ago.
Capital investment for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $6.0 billion (including the minority share of Sakhalin) of which $5.0 billion was invested in the Exploration & Production and Gas & Power segments. Capital investment in the same period of 2006 (including the minority share of Sakhalin) was $4.2 billion of which $3.6 billion was invested in the Exploration & Production and Gas & Power segments.
As at March 31, 2007 Shell Investments Ltd (SIL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc, had taken up and accepted for payment approximately 94.5% of the outstanding common shares of Shell Canada not already owned by SIL. SIL has since exercised its right to acquire the remaining shares not already owned by SIL or its affiliates at the same price of C$45 per common share. The cash purchase price for the shares amounts to some $7.1 billion.
The acquisition of the minority interest in Shell Canada was accounted for as a transaction between shareholders with the impact reflected in the equity section of the balance sheet. As of the end of the first quarter 2007, the Group has paid cash of $3.7 billion for shares in Shell Canada that it did not already own and recognised a current liability of $3.4 billion for the remaining shares for which it has exercised the right to acquire, amounting to a total acquisition value of $7.1 billion. As a result of this transaction, the consolidated financial statements of Royal Dutch Shell plc as at March 31, 2007 reflects a $7.1 billion decrease in shareholders equity, causing a $1.7 billion decrease in minority interest, being the book value of the item acquired, with the excess of the purchase price over the book value of $5.4 billion being taken to retained earnings. In addition to the share purchase price, $0.4 billion of Shell Canada share options were exchanged for a corresponding amount of Royal Dutch Shell share options.
Gross proceeds from divestments in the three-month period to March 31, 2007 were $0.4 billion compared to $0.5 billion a year ago.
Dividends of $0.36 per share were declared on May 3, 2007 in respect of the first quarter. These dividends are payable on June 13, 2007. In the case of the Class B shares, the dividends will be payable through the dividend access mechanism and are expected to be treated as UK-sourced rather than Dutch-sourced. See the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006 for additional information on the dividend access mechanism.
During the first quarter 2007 $0.5 billion or 0.2% of Royal Dutch Shell shares were bought back for cancellation.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On April 11, 2007, Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (now merged into Shell Petroleum N.V.) and The
Shell Transport and Trading Company, Ltd., (formerly: The Shell Transport and Trading Company,
p.l.c.) without admitting any wrongdoing, reached a settlement of asserted and unasserted claims
arising out of the recategorisation of its proved reserves with representatives of shareholders who
both resided and purchased Shell shares outside of the United States during the period of April 8,
1999 through March 18, 2004, inclusive. It is agreed to pay $352.6 million, plus administrative
costs, to investors covered by the settlement. The agreement depends on the Amsterdam Court of
Appeals declaring the settlement binding for all of the shareholders that it covers and is further
subject to agreed opt-out and termination provisions.
On April 18, 2007, Royal Dutch Shell completed the farm-out to OAO Gazprom of a 50% stake (plus 1 share) in the Sakhalin project in Russia. Royal Dutch Shell diluted its stake in the project from 55% to 27.5% for a sale price of $4.1 billion. This transaction will be accounted for in the second quarter 2007. In addition, the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation has announced its approval of the revised Environmental Action Plan and the Supervisory Board of Sakhalin Energy has approved the Amended Development Budget. Additional agreements were also signed with the Russian Government, addressing the economic balance of the project.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
1. Basis of preparation
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Royal Dutch Shell and its subsidiaries (collectively known as the Shell Group, Group or Group Companies) are prepared on the same basis as, and should be read in conjunction with, the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006 (pages 108 to 112) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
With effect from the first quarter 2007, Wind and Solar are reported within the Gas & Power segment and all other activities within Other industry segments are reported within the Corporate segment. Prior period financial statements have been reclassified accordingly.
Purchases of minority interest in Group companies, and disposals of shares in Group companies whilst retaining control, are accounted for as transactions within equity. The difference between the purchase price/disposal proceeds and the relevant proportion of the minority interest is reported in retained earnings as a movement in the Group share of equity.
The three-month period ended March 31, 2007 Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Royal Dutch Shell and its consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Shell Group are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which differs in certain respects from US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP).
Discontinued operations
The definition of activities classified as discontinued operations differs from that under IFRS.
Under IFRS the activity must be a separate major line of business or geographical area of
operations and equity accounted or other investments are included in this classification. Under US
GAAP this definition is broadened to include a component of an entity (rather than a separate major
line of business or geographical area of operations) but equity accounted or other investments are
excluded. As a result, all of the items presented as discontinued operations in 2007 and 2006 under
US GAAP are included within continuing operations under IFRS. In 2007 and 2006 in Oil Products
certain refineries have been classified as held for sale and are reported under US GAAP as
discontinued operations.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications are differences in line item allocation under IFRS, which do not affect equity or
income compared with that shown under US GAAP. They comprise research and development costs that
are included in cost of sales while these items are separately disclosed under US GAAP and
accretion expense for asset retirement obligations is reported as interest expense under IFRS and
as cost of sales under US GAAP.
Retirement benefits
The Group adopted FASB Statement No. 158 Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and
Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R (FAS 158)
as of December 31, 2006. FAS 158 requires that on a prospective basis all gains and losses related
to defined benefit pension arrangements and other post retirement benefits are recognised on the
balance sheet. The gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period
are recognised as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), net of tax, but are
not recognised as components of net periodic benefit cost. Under IFRS, all gains and losses related
to defined benefit pension arrangements and other post retirement benefits at the date of
transition to IFRS were recognised in the 2004 opening balance sheet, with a corresponding
reduction in equity. The difference between IFRS and US GAAP therefore mainly relates to the
unrecognised gains and losses under IFRS since January 1, 2004.
Share-based compensation
Under IFRS, share-based compensation awarded after November 7, 2002 and not vested at January 1,
2005 is recognised as an expense based on its fair value. For US GAAP the Group has adopted SFAS
123R as of January 1, 2005 using the modified prospective approach and this will minimise the
difference between US GAAP and IFRS reporting. The remaining difference relates to share-based
compensation not yet vested and granted before November 7, 2002, which under US GAAP is also
recognised as an expense, and the treatment of deferred tax on share-based compensation. Under IFRS
deferred tax is remeasured every reporting period and under US GAAP deferred tax is estimated at
grant date and not subsequently revised.
Cumulative currency translation differences
Under IFRS at January 1, 2004, the balance of cumulative currency translation differences of $1,208
million was eliminated by increasing retained earnings. For US GAAP there is no change in the
accounting for cumulative currency translation differences and the amount is included in
accumulated other comprehensive income. Equity in total under both IFRS and US GAAP was not
impacted.
Upon divestment or liquidation of an entity, cumulative currency translation differences related to that entity are taken to income under both IFRS and US GAAP. Due to the elimination of the opening balance as at January 1, 2004, the amounts of cumulative currency translation differences that are taken to income may differ between IFRS and US GAAP.
Impairments
Impairments under IFRS are based on discounted cash flows. Under US GAAP, only if an assets
estimated undiscounted future cash flows are below its carrying amount is a determination required
of the amount of any impairment based on discounted cash flows. There is no undiscounted test under
IFRS.
Reversal of impairments
Under IFRS, a favourable change in the circumstance, which resulted in an impairment of an asset
other than goodwill would trigger the requirement for a redetermination of the amount of the
impairment and any reversal is recognised in income. Under US GAAP, impairments are not reversed.

Financial instruments
Under IFRS certain unquoted equity securities are recognised at fair value. Under US GAAP these are
recognised at cost. This difference has no impact on the timing of recognition of income arising
from these investments. Also, certain commodity contracts and embedded derivatives that are not
recognised under US GAAP are recognised under IFRS mainly because of pricing or delivery
conditions.
Minority interest buy-out
Under IFRS, purchases of minority interest in Group companies, and disposals of shares in Group
companies whilst retaining control, are accounted for as transactions within equity. The difference
between the purchase price/disposal proceeds and the relevant proportion of the minority interest
is reported in retained earnings as a movement in the Group share of equity. Under US GAAP a
purchase of minority interest in a Group company is accounted for using the purchase method and a
disposal of shares in a Group company whilst retaining control is accounted for as a sale.
Other
Other reconciling items include differences relating to income taxes and leases arising on
differences between IFRS and US GAAP. This includes the reclassification of unrecognised tax
benefits at January 1, 2007 of $1,460 million upon the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48),
all of which would affect the Groups effective tax rate if recognised. Other than this
reclassification of unrecognised tax benefits, the implementation of FIN 48 does not have a
significant impact on the Groups Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cash flow statement
The Group compiles the cash flow statement in accordance with International Accounting Standards
(IAS 7). The SECs rules applicable to Annual Reports on Form 20-F permit the compilation of the
cash flow statement under IAS 7.
Recent US GAAP accounting pronouncements
FASB Statement No. 157 Fair Value Measurement (FAS 157) becomes effective for the Group and will
be adopted from January 1, 2008. FAS 157 aims to achieve consistency of approach whenever assets
and liabilities are required to be measured at fair value, and introduces certain disclosure
requirements. The Group is in the early stages of its implementation of FAS 157 but does not expect
any significant impact on the Groups Consolidated Financial Statements.
