agree  Will Matter: Right. The first (of a series) of reports. You could also say "(the ) initial report".

  -> Thanks, Will.
agree  Els Spin: But I wouldn't make it 'initial report'. That sounds too preliminary :-), as if the report precedes the survey, whereas this is a report ON the first survey. / Actually... (my last thought for tonight)... it is the report on the initial survey :-)
