Thanks both!

I can see them in Income Statement, however, the distributions won't 
reflect on the net profit. I can calculate the income for each given 
period, but I don't know how much are distributed for any period because 
those are balance sheet accounts.

I can create a Equity:PriorDistribution account, just like 
Equity:Earnings:Previous (this is also calculated per year?) What do you do 
if you have multiple shareholders, i.e. distribute dividends etc?
