UNAUDITED RESULTS 
----------------------------------------------------- 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   The merger reserve and share premium reserve were established as a 
consequence of Royal Dutch Shell plc becoming the single parent company 
of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and The "Shell" Transport and Trading 
Company, p.l.c., now The Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited, in 
2005. The merger reserve increased in 2016 following the issuance of 
shares for the acquisition of BG Group plc. The capital redemption 
reserve was established in connection with repurchases of shares of 
Royal Dutch Shell plc. The share plan reserve is in respect of 
equity-settled share-based compensation plans. 
 
 
 
   6. Derivative financial instruments and debt excluding lease liabilities 
 
   As disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 
December 31, 2019, presented in the Annual Report and Accounts and Form 
20-F for that year, Shell is exposed to the risks of changes in fair 
value of its financial assets and liabilities. The fair values of the 
financial assets and liabilities are defined as the price that would be 
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Methods 
and assumptions used to estimate the fair values at December 31, 2020, 
are consistent with those used in the year ended December 31, 2019, 
though the carrying amounts of derivative financial instruments measured 
using predominantly unobservable inputs have changed since that date. 
 
   The table below provides the comparison of the fair value with the 
carrying amount of debt excluding lease liabilities, disclosed in 
accordance with IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
