  having effect before the coming into force of this schedule in relation to annual or general reports,

• “transitional part of a reporting period”, in relation to a reporting provision, is any part of any reporting period for the purposes of that provision which begins on or after 2 April 2010 and ends on or before 31 March 2011.
