Summary
This 8-K filing from Honeywell International Inc. (HON) dated December 11, 2008, primarily serves as a transmittal for financial statements formatted in XBRL. These financial statements are from their Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008, which was originally filed on October 17, 2008. Investors should note that the XBRL data within this 8-K is unaudited and is intended for technological testing purposes. Crucially, investors are cautioned not to rely on this XBRL data for investment decisions. The filing explicitly states that the official, audited financial statements from the Form 10-Q filing should be used. This 8-K does not alter or supersede previous filings and is not considered "filed" for liability purposes under Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
