My understanding is that the original poster:
1. Applied for HSMP (including points for spouse) and was successful i.e. got 1 year approval
2. Applied for HSMP EC without including dependents and was successful.
3. Entered the UK and at some time in HSMP year 1 applied for the dependents EC which was refused on the basis that he did not have a high enough level of income to overcome concerns about maintaining and accomodating.
The OP now wants to know whether this will impact on his HSMP renewal (FLR IED). IMHO if the applicant can demonstrate that he has continued to seek employment/ self employment in his profession then renewal will not be an issue. EC for dependents will continue to be a problem on the stated income - out of interest why is this considerably low? What is your designated profession? Likewise, I recall if memory serves me correct, the op being in the accounting field - AFAIK there is not a major problem with suitable employment in this sector in the UK.
