ASC 325-20 formerly governed the cost method of accounting for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value (cost-method investments), including their initial measurement, impairment assessment, and disclosure. Every substantive paragraph in the subtopic was superseded by ASU 2016-01, so the subtopic is now an empty shell with no operative guidance. Equity investments previously accounted for under the cost method are now within the scope of ASC 321, Investments—Equity Securities.

ASC 605-924 formerly contained the industry-specific revenue recognition guidance for casinos (gaming revenue, casino jackpot liabilities, and related presentation). Every substantive paragraph has been superseded by ASU 2014-09, so the subtopic carries no remaining guidance. Casino revenue is now accounted for under ASC 606, with any surviving industry considerations in ASC 924 and ASC 606-10-55.

ASC 605-970 formerly provided the legacy revenue recognition guidance for real estate—general transactions (including profit recognition and measurement on real estate sales). Every paragraph in the subtopic — Sections 05, 15, 25, 30, 35, and 55 — was superseded by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). No substantive guidance remains; entities apply ASC 606 (and ASC 610-20 for sales of nonfinancial assets to noncustomers) instead.
