Financial year may began from from incorporation of a company.
also we may note that as per AS 26 in case of pre incorporation expenses and sum post incorporation expenses which are not in nature of capital expenditure has to be written off immediately even if a company has not started its business.and P&L A/c will show the loss.
hence in my opinion financial year starts after incorporation of profit.
