SARVAL Limited (Registered number: 00531808) |
Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 |
Business Overview |
SARVAL Limited (SARVAL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of SARIA Limited (SARIA); SARIA operates in a wide range of sectors associated with the food chain, renewable energy, and recycling. |
SARVAL operates the frozen, chilled, and dried avian protein products businesses of SARIA; the mammalian rendered products are handled by SARVAL (Hartshill) Limited, also part of SARIA. |
SARIA Operating Business Units: |
Market Area | Business Unit | Operating site location(s) |
Pet food Ingredient Manufacture | SARVAL Limited | Doncaster |
Nottingham |
Widnes |
SARVAL (Hartshill) Limited | Nuneaton |
Inedible avian by-products (except for feathers) are predominantly used to manufacture pet food ingredients for ultimate sale in 'wet' products (cans, pouches, foil trays etc.) or 'dry' products (such as bagged dry kibbles). |
Wet ingredients are sold to pet food manufacturers in either chilled or frozen format whereas dry products are produced by rendering the raw by-products to produce protein meals and liquid oils and fats. |
With finite raw material supplies, and since the 'bulk' raw materials arising from poultry slaughtering can be interchanged between 'wet' and 'dry' applications, it is vital to match production at Doncaster (wet) and Nottingham/Widnes (dry) with the various and varying demands of the company's customers. |
Poultry and feather meal can be used as direct replacements for fish meal in aqua feed diets where legislation allows the use, which again is driving demand from the UK and export markets. SARVAL trades with a broad range of customers in the UK and International markets; during the period, the company increased sales to export markets in Asia and South America. |
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) |
As shown in the company's statement of comprehensive income on page 10, the company has made a loss of £197,443 from a loss of £36,561 in the previous year. At the year end the shareholder's funds were (£11,415,898) (2020 - (£11,218,455)). |
During the period, the UK market experienced significant ongoing challenges caused by the impacts of the global Coronavirus pandemic. Finished product values were volatile during the period due to global market fluctuations but overall net values increased significantly towards the end of the year. |
Following the re-introduction of national lockdown measures introduced by the government in March 2020, the company introduced appropriate measures to ensure the continued safe operation of the processing plants and the provision of essential services to the UK meat production sector. |
The company responded to the challenges by implementing a multi-layered contingency response, ensuring the health and safety of our staff and their families were addressed in the first instance whilst also ensuring the business operations remained "COVID-safe" in line with the advice issued by UK Government. |
The company accessed funding from the Government's Job Retention Scheme to support the costs of staff furloughed due to a reduction in business operations. |
SARVAL Limited (Registered number: 00531808) |
Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 |
SARIA manages its operations on a divisional basis. For this reason, the company's directors believe that further key performance indicators for the company are not necessary or appropriate for an understanding of the development, performance, or position of the business. |
Following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, a UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) replaced the UK's participation in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme on 1 January 2021. |
Like many emissions trading schemes, the UK ETS works on the 'cap and trade' principle, where a cap is set on the total amount of certain greenhouse gases that can be emitted by sectors covered by the scheme. This limits the total amount of carbon that can be emitted and, as it decreases over time, will make a significant contribution to how the UK meets its Net Zero 2050 target and other legally binding carbon reduction commitments. |
Within this cap, participants receive free allowances and/or buy emission allowances at auction or on the secondary market which they can trade with other participants as needed. |
SARVAL's plants are covered by the UK ETS, during the period the market value for emissions allowances over the cap increased significantly ahead of the values budgeted for, the total income statement cost in the period for this company being £2,153,446. |
Risk |
With businesses active across a wide variety of sectors and operating large-scale processing operations always entails risk. Beside market developments, we are also affected by global events such as commodity market price changes driven by weather patterns; such events entail risks but also present us with new opportunities. |
The Group is faced with challenges when conducting analyses and making decisions. If we do not incorporate market developments or if we evaluate them incorrectly, they may pose serious business risks. The risks affecting SARVAL are largely dealt with on a group basis, apart from the ones highlighted below: |
Business Unit / Area | Risk | Mitigation Factor |
Pet food Ingredient manufacturing | Reduction in the availability of mammalian-based proteins. |
Expand processing of poultry-based proteins. |
Reduced demand for 'wet' protein ingredients for pet food. |
Operate processing plants for dried pet food ingredient. |
Health & Safety | Health & safety incidents could result in harm to the company's employees, contractors or local communities. Ensuring safety and wellbeing is an ethical obligation for the company. Poor safety records or serious accidents could have a serious impact on the company's production and reputation. |
The company focuses on identifying, mitigating and managing the safety risks inherent across its operations. The company's objective is to create a safety culture through regular training and awareness campaigns for employees and contractors. The company operates a 'best practice' system of in-house training to develop an embedded health & safety culture. |
Environment and Employees |
SARVAL Limited recognises the importance of its environmental responsibilities and implements policies to reduce any damage that might be caused to the environment. |
SARVAL Limited (Registered number: 00531808) |
Strategic Report |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 |
Initiatives designed to minimise the company's impact on the environment include improving our energy use efficiency, reduction in carbon emissions by using only renewable fuel and minimising the consumption of water. |
Details of the number of employees and related costs can be found on page 17 of the financial statements. |
The company participates in the group's policies and practices about Health and Safety at work, pension, and health care schemes. |
Future developments |
The directors will be closely monitoring any developments associated with 'Brexit' following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. |
SARVAL manufactures avian proteins used in a wide variety of world markets and any material changes in the UK's ability to trade with any individual export markets will continue to be monitored for impact on the company's operations & business strategy will be adjusted accordingly. |
The directors anticipate that they will continue to develop the company's established activities. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
SARVAL Limited (Registered number: 00531808) |

for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2021. |
DIVIDENDS |
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 December 2021. |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2021 to the date of this report. |
POLITICAL DONATIONS AND EXPENDITURE |
There have been no political donations made within the period. |
GOING CONCERN |
The company has returned to a roughly breakeven position in it's trading operations, following a difficult year in 2019. However due to historical losses, the balance sheet at the year end continues to show a negative position. |
The directors are confident of a return to profit and because of the interdependent nature of the group's activities the parent undertaking has agreed to continue to support the company through this difficult period and for the foreseeable future. |
CHANGE OF NAME |
On the 11th February 2014 the company name was changed to SARVAL Limited from Chettles Limited. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
SARVAL Limited (Registered number: 00531808) |
Report of the Directors |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Paylings, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
SARVAL Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of SARVAL Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its loss for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
SARVAL Limited |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
- reviewed the nature of the industry and sector, the control environment and business performance for the year. |
- identifying the laws and regulations the company operates within and enquiring with management if they are aware of any |
non compliance issues. |
- discussed how and where fraud may occur with all members of the audit engagement team. |
- in line with all audits under ISAs (UK) we were required to perform tests to respond to the risk of management override. |
We tested the appropriateness of journal entries, evaluated the judgements made for accounting estimates to assess if any |
bias, and assessed the rationale behind any significant or unusual transactions. |
- reviewed directors' minutes to assess if any indications of fraud or non compliance. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |

Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
SARVAL Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The company returned to trading profits in 2017 and 2018, but suffered from unforeseen market conditions in 2019. The companies performance has much improved throughout 2020 and 2021 to roughly breakeven, however due to historic trading losses the company still has a deficiency of assets at the balance sheet date. |
The company remains dependent upon the financial support of its parent undertaking in the short term, however the group strategy for returning this company to profitability has resulted in the significant improvement in 2020 and 2021 and a return to profit in 2022 and for the foreseeable future is anticipated. |
On this basis the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis and the financial statements therefore, do not include any adjustments that would result from the company ceasing to trade. |
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Turnover is recognised on the sale of goods, on despatch of those goods from our sites when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to our customers. |
Turnover is recognised on the performance of services, as and when those services are carried out. |
Other income arises from the recharge of operating costs incurred by an entity, where the facility of that entity is used by other group companies. |
Straight recharge of costs that can be allocated directly to another group company are treated as recharges only, and the cost is passed directly to the other entity. No income is recognised in this instance. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful |
life. |
Plant & machinery - 50% on cost and 10% on cost |
Motor vehicles - 16.67% - 25% reducing balance |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company contributes to the SARIA Limited Group Pension Schemes, funded defined benefit schemes. |
Since the above schemes were closed to new members the group has opened a defined contribution scheme to provide retirement benefits to employees. |
The pension charge represents contributions payable to the funds in respect of the accounting period. |

Transfers of assets between group companies have been done using gross cost and gross depreciation, rather than using net book value as the cost to the acquirer. This has been done in order to preserve historical information in relation to the properties of the group, in particular previous revaluations. This is considered to be the most appropriate method both from an accounting and tax perspective. |

17. | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS |
The company pays contributions to two defined benefit arrangements operated by the SARIA Limited group. The payments are made to independent trusts. |
The company is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the schemes and therefore company pension contributions to the schemes are accounted for as if they were of a defined contribution type. |
The schemes are valued triennially by a qualified independent actuary. The most recent actuarial valuation was to 5 April 2019. |
At the balance sheet date the FRS 102 value of the liabilities was £118,227,000 (2020 - £124,821,000) and the market value of the assets was £151,594,000 (2020 - £156,020,000) giving a net asset of £33,367,000 (2020 - £31,199,000 ). |
The above schemes have been closed to new members. The group has made alternate provision, in the form of a defined contribution scheme, for new employees or those not eligible to join the other schemes. This scheme is also administered on a group basis independently of any group company or director. |
Total contributions payable by the company to the schemes during the year amounted to £394,559 (2020 - £419,905). There were no accrued or prepaid pension contributions at the balance sheet date (2020 - £nil). |
