That may indeed be what is necessary, but I doubt it, and on Dave's
behalf I also hope not.  What do you do about the inventory, AP, AR,
etc. in the old company?  That also opens a whole can o' worms with
respect to financial reporting for tax and other standard processes.

I suspect that all they are really interested in getting a final
valuation for the ownership transfer.  I'll bet all that is really
necessary is a copy of the GL files into another library (or into
Excel) for reporting, and perhaps some GL accounts created that will
hold "transfer" values after the reports are created.
