I think the best way to understand basis periods is to watch the Open Tuition video lectures, it's under chapter 6 here https://opentuition.com/acca/f6/free-online-lectures-for-paper-f6-uk-taxation/

The first accounting period is the date of commencement to the 5 of April?
If the 2nd accounting period is lest than 12 months use the first 12 months profit in the tax year.

Page41 - Chapter 6 - Example 1

Current year basis

The tax year runs from 6th April to 5th April

a) Y/e 31 March 2009 is assessed in the tax year 2008/09
(Because 31 March 2009 lies between 6th April 2008 - 5th April 2009)

b) Y/e 31 August 2009 is assessed in the tax year 2009/10
(Because 31 August 2009 lies between 6th April 2009 - 5th April 2010)

c) Y/e 30 April 2009 is assessed in the tax year 2009/10
(Because 30 April 2009 lies between 6th April 2009 - 5th April 2010)

Hope this helps!
