PERIOD END CLOSE DATE
11/17/03 at 16:07:04
 
We are currently running two companies in DBA.  
Company A -  
current yr 01/01/03 - 12/31/03
last yr 01/01/02 - 12/31/02
2 yrs 01/01/01 - 12/31/01
 
Company B - is currently set the same, but needs to be changed to the following
current yr 03/10/03 - 12/31/03.
 
Can you have different dates for different companies?
 
What will happen to any transactions dated prior to 3/10/03 in company B.
 
Thanks for your help.

You can have different fiscal years in different companies but DBA doesn't like a fiscal year starting on anything other that the first day of a calendar month.  Why 3/10???

I believe this is the date Company A, purchased Company B.
Even though DBA doesn't like it, will it work, using 3/10?
 
Thanks,
Doreen

If Company B was purchased 3/10 then from the standpoint of the books of the new owner, the fiscal year is still 1/1/03-12/31/03 but there is no transaction activity prior to 3/10 because all that activity belonged to the prior owner.  There would be some entries made 3/10 relating to the purchase, you should consult with your CPA or business advisor.
