They are your intellectual property. I'd say something about "proprietary methods" that you can't disclose. I tell clients that we can't release files do to third party licensing (which is usually the case).
As everyone is noting, everything has a price. Unless there is a benefit to you handing it all over, why would you?
Side note...I've got clients that sold a project and the people they sold to are asking for logins, files, etc., etc. I'll give it all over, but I need to be compensated for my time, for the lost potential promotional materials, etc., etc.
Business is business, they should understand that. Your time and your talent are assets that have a monetary value. Just say its "not personal, just business" and attach a few. Expect to negotiate and walk if they don't cooperate.
