JBA ML - new g/l company?

Currently we share a box with a sister company, with them set up in a
separate environment (3.5.2 SP2).  The assets of the company are being sold
at year-end to a new company, who will remain on our box for a time, while
they work to move off to another box.  This creates a problem.  We need
their General Ledger for OUR purposes next year as we close out the
company.  Yet, come January, the new company will be using the G/L for
their purposes.

It occurs to me that the 'new' company may need a 'new' G/L.  I see in A/R,
A/P, Cash, and AFI where they can be pointed at different companies.  Has
anyone had any experience with such a situation?  What are the pros and
cons of establishing a new G/L for an existing company?

Thanks.
