As long as you have PKs and FKs, you could try [read: I have not tried this]:
select a.keyid, a.companyname, b.company_id, b.division ;
   from Company A join Division B on a.KeyID = b.Company_ID ;
   group by a.companyname into cursor crsTemp1 nofilter

select a.keyid, a.companyname, b.company_id, b.division ;
   from Company A join Division B on a.KeyID = b.Company_ID ;
   where a.keyid not in (select keyid from crsTemp1) ;
   into cursor crsTemp2 nofilter

select * from crsTemp1 ;
   union ;
select keyid, space(30) CompanyName, company_id, division ;
   from crsTemp2 order by company_id, companyname desc ;
   into cursor crsResults nofilter
