Consolidated total assets increased
e Groups total assets amounted to , million as at  December , , mil-
lion higher than at  December  (, million).
At , million, non-current assets were up on the previous year, increasing
markedly by , million. Intangible assets rose by  million to , million:
in addition to advance payments for the  project, this item increased primarily due
to the impact of foreign currency eects on goodwill. Property, plant and equipment
also rose by  million to , million, driven primarily by investments in the 
divisions. Non-current nancial assets rose from , million to , million, due
mainly to an increase in loans and receivables.
At , million, current assets were on a par with the previous year (, mil-
lion). Inventories declined by  million to  million. Current nancial assets
decreased signicantly by  million to  million, largely because we liquidated
short-term investments in money market funds and used them in part to repay a bond.
Trade receivables rose by  million to , million, driven to a signicant extent
by revenue growth and currency eects. Other current assets also increased, rising by
 million to , million. e reasons for the  million decline in cash and
cash equivalents to , million are described in the section entitled Financial position.
Assets held for sale declined by  million to  million, mainly due to the completion
of the sale of a number of properties in Germany.
At , million, equity attributable to Deutsche Post  shareholders was
 million lower than at  December  (, million). Although consolidated
net prot for the period made a positive contribution, actuarial losses on pension
obligations and the dividend payment to our shareholders in particular led to a decrease
in equity.
