“The ultimate parent company, Honeywell International Inc. has indicated that it will provide financial support to the company for at least one year from the date of signing these financial statements... the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources, including support from Honeywell International Inc. to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Subsequent to the reporting date, the directors approved a plan to hive up the trade and assets of Onity Limited into the company through a business transfer agreement, followed by the liquidation of Onity Limited. This forms part of the broader legal entity simplification process. As the expected recoverable amount of the hive-up is lower than the carrying amount of the investment, an impairment loss was recognised in the financial statements as at 31 December 2024 to reflect the net asset value of Onity Limited.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
