On January 15, Year 2, before the financial statements are issued, the company refinances $200,000 of its short-term debt into a long-term note due in 5 years. The refinancing agreement is non-cancelable. How should the $200,000 debt be classified on the December 31, Year 1 balance sheet, and is the covenant violated?
