18 months gets us to 31 October, 2011 15 months takes us to 31 January, 2013 But there has to be an AGM every calendar year and there isn't one in 2012 So the latest date for the second AGM has to be 31 December, 2012 OK?

Firstly, i thank you for replying to my post. Secondly, doesnt 15 months take you to 31st July 2011? from the date of incorporation (1st may 2010) regards. please can you explain this further if possible. it will be very beneficial for me

1st AGM must be within 18 months (strictly, it's 6 months after the first accounting year end, but I always say that that's 18 months!) Subsequent AGMs must be held within 15 months of the previous AGM Does that do it for you?

hi if AGM to be held every calendar year then 15 months theory is will never be applicable , the requirement of having annual AGM will suffice. please clarify the need or use of 15 months theory.

If incorporated on 1 August, 2020, first AGM within 18 months would be 31 January, 2022 2nd AGM can be as late as 15 months after that so that takes us to 30 April, 2023 3rd could be as late as 15 months after that so that takes us to 31 July, 2024 Is that any clearer?
