Did you get new I94 attached to your H1B approval notice ? if so, your COS was approved and your status will change to H1B automatically on H1B start date. This means you are not L1 anymore after H1B start date and you can not keep working for A and you are required to work for B unless A files another COS from H1B to L1B. If this is the case, A can not ask L1 extension, but they need to file COS to bring you back to L1B.
If you did not get new I94 with H1 approval, you MUST keep working for A until you get H1 stamp and reenter the US with H1B.
