Note 1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Honeywell” or “the Company”) at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the entire year.

Honeywell reports its quarterly financial information using a calendar convention; the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30. It has been Honeywell's practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires Honeywell's businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, Honeywell will provide appropriate disclosures. Honeywell's actual closing dates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 were September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019.
