Retiring bonds by issuing common stock to the bondholders is a non-cash transaction and is disclosed separately in a note or supplementary schedule to the cash flow statement, rather than as a financing cash flow. The cash borrowed for the equipment purchase is a financing inflow and the cash cost of the equipment is reported as an investing cash flow in the cash flow statement. Had a bond been issued to the seller of the equipment, it would be treated as a non-cash transaction and reported only in the notes to the cash flow statement.
