- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company has access, if needed, to funding from its ultimate holding company Minerva Equity Limited ("the Group"), which has confirmed its intention to support the business for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. For this reason the Directors have undertaken the going concern assessment for the Group for a minimum of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Accordingly, based on the Group's financial and liquidity projections, the maturity and portability of the long-term debt, the expectations of no significant changes to the business plan, and the current expectations of the Directors about the prospects of the Group and Company, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 1 April 2025 the Company changed its name to M Group Highways Limited, from Milestone Infrastructure Limited as part of a rebranding across the Minerva Equity Limited Group (the "Group"), to align entities under a common 'M Group' banner.”
- “On 23 September 2024, M Group Limited (formerly Midas Midco Limited), via its 100% owned subsidiary Midas Bidco I Ltd, acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital of Minerva Equity Ltd, from Blueprint Investments Sarl (Luxembourg).”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
