Closing the books, Opening Balance & Profit & Loss

[AndreeCrist]

Hi,

I've been googling for hours, desperate to figure this one out. . 

So my year end is 01/04/2008 - 31/03/2009.
I have moved transactions on the 31st to the 30th. 

I have closed the books on the 31st. .  

Now before I closed the books, the profit & loss was showing a loss of say
£15k. 
Now the books are closed, the profit / loss is balanced to zero with the
balance coming from a -£15k value in the Equity:ClosingBalance:2008-2009 . .
all good. 

Now If I move the accounting period to 01/04/2009 - 31/03/2010 .. [next
fiscal year] .. then I really want to start this next new day / year..
showing we have a loss which were carrying forward.. of the £15k from the
previous fiscal year. . 

-- this is where I get a bit shakey - 

How can I carry this loss through onto the next year ? The overall net value
has remained the same, but how to carry the loss over ? Really stuck on
this.. maybe I'm just being a moron here.. 

Please help.

Kind Regards,
Andree
