I'd say both are possible, (b) being far more common than (a).

(a) is often heard in referring to a particular company's balance sheet: "XYZ Motor Company had an outstanding 2007."

Even, "Your mother and I has a great 1963."

Thanks Avangi.

Just so not to confuse others, I will correct the typo:

"Your mother and I had a great 1963."

Thanks again Avangi

Thanks, Magic. The "s" and the "d" on my keyboard are just too dang close together!
