Substituting a short-term debt with another short-term debt after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the balance sheet is insufficient to demonstrate an ability to refinance the short-term debt on a long-term basis. Total current liabilities shall be indicated in classified balance sheets. If a short-term debt is not included in current liabilities, the financial statement notes shall comprise an explanation of the financing agreement and the terms of any debt incurred or estimated to be incurred or equity securities issued or anticipated to be issued due to refinancing.
