The total assets of the Linde group have been reduced during the fiscal year by €324 million to €11.591 billion (2003: €11.915 billion), principally as a result of the sale of the Refrigeration business segment. Excluding the effects of the sale of Refrigeration, total assets would have risen by around €320 million.
