Real Estate—Time-Sharing Activities

230 Statement of Cash Flows

Source downloaded: .Record version 1a04aebfe97f. Effective date must be checked in the source.

This subtopic governs how entities engaged in real estate time-sharing activities classify cash flows related to time-sharing notes receivable. The core rule is that all changes in time-sharing notes receivable — including cash received from selling those notes — are reported as operating activities in the statement of cash flows (230-978-45-1), rather than as investing or financing activities.

Key points (4)
  • The subtopic addresses cash flow presentation for real estate time-sharing transactions (230-978-05-1).
  • Its scope follows Section 978-10-15, the scope of the Real Estate—Time-Sharing Activities Overall Subtopic (230-978-15-1).
  • Changes in time-sharing notes receivable are reported as cash flows from operating activities (230-978-45-1).
  • Sales of time-sharing notes receivable are likewise classified as operating cash flows, not investing or financing (230-978-45-1).

For students. This is a short industry-specific override worth remembering: the intuitive answer — that notes receivable are investing activities and their sale is a financing/investing inflow — is wrong for time-share sellers, because the notes arise from the entity's core revenue-generating sales activity. Expect a classification question that tests whether you apply the general ASC 230 rules or this exception.
