NON-CURRENT ASSETS INCREASED AS A RESULT OF INVESTMENT Non-current assets rose by €162.8 million, from €3,176.4 million to €3,339.2 million, in the year under review. Investment properties gained €138.0 million. The Altmarkt-Galerie contributed €392.7 million, which was offset by cash disposals total- ling €333.4 million from the deconsolidation of the Passau and Hamburg-Harburg properties. Costs of investments in portfolio prop- erties amounted to €18.1 million. The revaluation of our property portfolio resulted in valuation gains of €60.5 million. At-equity investments increased by €20.4 million from €321.5 million to €341.9 million. The recognition of the Passau and Hamburg-Har- burg investments generated an addition of €148.9 million, which was offset by a €134.6 million reduction due to the first-time consolidation of Altmarkt-Galerie from 1 May 2013. The difference between the share in the earnings and losses resulted in a €6.1 million gain in at- equity investments. Other non-current assets increased by €4.4 million net versus 2012. CURRENT LIABILITIES DOWN Current liabilities fell by €118.6 million, from €242.0 million to €123.4 million, largely due to lower short-term bank loans and liabil- ities (down €94.1 million) and a decline in tax liabilities (down €23.2 million). Other current liabilities declined €1.3 million in net terms. NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES UP DUE TO FINANCING Non-current liabilities rose by €58.9 million, from €1,783.7 million to €1,842.6 million. The increase was essentially driven by the first-time consolidation of Altmarkt-Galerie Dresden and deconsolidations (€73.7 million). Non-current liabilities advanced €113.3 million in total. Deferred tax liabilities also rose, up €18.0 million to €198.5 mil- lion. At €213.4 million, third-party interests in the equity of the prop- erty companies was up €70.8 million year-on-year due to deconsoli- dations. Other liabilities slipped €1.6 million to €41.1 million (2012: €42.7 million), largely due to interest rate swap measurements.
