[A]

In March 2007, Shell acquired the non-controlling interests in Shell Canada for a cash consideration of $7.1 billion. This was reflected as a decrease in noncontrolling interest and in retained earnings of $1,639 million and $5,445 million respectively. In April 2007, Shell sold half of its interest in Sakhalin-2 for $4.1 billion, reducing its interest from 55% to 27.5% . As a result of this transaction, Sakhalin-2 has been accounted for as an associated company rather than as a subsidiary with effect from April 2007. The main impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was a decrease of $15.7 billion in property, plant and equipment and $6.7 billion in non-controlling interest, and an increase in equity accounted investments of $3.7 billion.
