Long term Liabilities >1 year

Short term Liabilities <1year

Long-term liabilities are generally considered to be those debts that will not mature (or come due) for over a year. Current liabilities are generally considered to be those obligations that come due within the year. Current liabilities do; however, include more than just debt. Generally current liabilities will include anything that must be paid within the next year that is not directly related to the costs of production (because the company could stop producing widgets, but would still have to make lease payments, etc.). Companies with long-term liabilities whose payments include principal will occasionally show the principal portion of the long-term liabilities that will be paid in the current year within the current liabilities (and remove those principal payments from the long-term liabilities).
