Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the year ended 31 December 2023 |
1. | Statutory information |
Dunlop International Group Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is disclosed on the Company information page. |
2. | Accounting policies |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and the Companies Act 2006. |
The financial statements are prepared in Sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the Company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £'000. |
The financial statements are for a period of 52 weeks ended 31 December 2023 (2022: 52 weeks). |
Going concern |
As part of a group reorganisation plan it has been decided that the Company would be liquidated as soon as possible. As such, the directors have concluded it is not appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. |
The directors reviewed the balance sheet as 31 December 2023 to consider if any assets are held at recoverable amounts. At that time, the directors considered that the values of the assets would be realised during 2020 and 2021 and as such no adjustments were made. No adjustment was made to reduce liabilities as the Company intends to settle these in full. No provisions have been made for the cost of closure as these are expected to be minimal. The directors considered the following items in particular: |
- realisation of intangible assets; |
- realisation of current assets; |
- settlement of liabilities; and |
- requirement to make provision for any items arising as a result of the decision. |
No adjustment has been made to the carrying amount of any of the assets or liabilities as value of these balances on a break-up basis are the same as if they were prepared on a going concern basis. |
The Company was dormant throughout the current year and previous year. |

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland": |
o the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; |
o the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26, 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A; |
o the requirements of Section 26 Share-based Payment paragraphs 26.18(b), 26.19 to 26.21 and 26.23; |
o the requirement of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7. |
Where required, equivalent disclosures are given in the group accounts of Sumitomo Rubber Industries Limited. The group accounts are available to the public and can be obtained as set out in note 19. |
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 2). |
Except for the changes described below in relation to going concern, the following principal accounting policies have been applied consistently: |
Financial instruments |
Cash at bank and in hand |
Cash at bank and in hand include cash in hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
Other debtors/ creditors |
Other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of debtors. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of instrument for a similar debt instrument. |
Group accounts |
The financial statements present information about the Company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. The Company has not prepared group accounts as it is exempt from the requirement to do so by section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 as it is a subsidiary undertaking of Sumitomo Rubber Industries Limited, a company incorporated in Japan (6-9. 3-chome, Wakinohamacho, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 651-0072 Japan), and is included in the consolidated accounts of that company. |

Classification of financial instruments issued by the Company |
In accordance with FRS 102.22, financial instruments issued by the Company are treated as equity only to the extent that they meet the following two conditions: |
(a) they include no contractual obligations upon the Company to deliver cash or other financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Company; and |
(b) where the instrument will or may be settled in the Company’s own equity instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to deliver a variable number of the Company’s own equity instruments or is a derivative that will be settled by the Company’s exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments. |
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are classified as a financial liability. Where the instrument so classified takes the legal form of the Company’s own shares, the amounts presented in these financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account exclude amounts in relation to those shares. |
