Non-current assets
As at 30 June 2010, non-current assets accounted for 66% of total assets, compared with 67% as at 30 September 2009. Non-current assets rose from €9.1bn to €10.2bn in the period under review. The increase was partly driven by a rise in goodwill, mainly attributable to the translation of goodwill not carried in the TUI Group’s functional currency into Euro. The item ‘Companies measured at equity’ rose above all due to additions, translation effects and improvements in quarterly earnings by Container Shipping.
Current assets
As at 30 June 2010, current assets accounted for 34% of total assets, following 33% as at 30 September 2009. Current assets grew from €4.4bn as at 30 September 2009 to €5.2bn as at 30 June 2010. This increase was mainly attributable to the seasonality of the tourism business.
Equity
Equity totalled €2.2bn as at 30 June 2010. At 14%, the equity rate decreased against its level as at 30 September 2009, i.e. the balance sheet date. Detailed information on the changes in equity is provided in the notes to this interim report.

The changes resulted, inter alia, from the reclassification of the bonds maturing in December 2010 and May 2011, respectively, from non-current to current financial liabilities and recognition of the convertible bonds issued by TUI Travel and TUI AG in October and November 2009 and in April 2010, respectively, as well as recognition of new borrowings by TUI Travel in the second quarter as non-current financial liabilities.
Other liabilities
