Amalgamation of a company

Hi friends,

Wanted to ask a question..

If two companies are amalgamated into a new company during the financial year (Say 30.06.2008 - F.Y. 2008-09) than as per companies act whether all of them are required to prepare the profit and loss acoount and the balance sheet for the year under consideration and present it at their AGM?. Is the amalgamating company which ceases to exist w.e.f. 30.06.2008 have to hold their AGM for the F.Y. 2008-09?

Pls do answer... Would be very helpful..

Thanks in advance...

Regards,

Chintan
