Let $(Y,\,T)$ be a minimal suspension flow built over a dynamical system $(X,\,S)$ and with (strictly positive, continuous) ceiling function $f:\,X\,\to \,\mathbb{R}$. We show that the eigenvalues of $(Y,\,T)$ are contained in the range of a trace on the ${{K}_{0}}$-group of $(X,\,S)$. Moreover, a trace gives an order isomorphism of a subgroup of ${{K}_{0}}\left( C(X)\,{{\rtimes }_{S}}\,\mathbb{Z} \right)$ with the group of eigenvalues of $(Y,\,T)$. Using this result, we relate the values of $t$ for which the time-$t$ map on the minimal suspension flow is minimal with the $K$-theory of the base of this suspension.
