    The answer is: Long-term Liability

    Explanation:

    Long term liabilities are financial obligations due within one year or more of the balance sheet's date (e. g. long term loans, deferred income taxes, etc.). Since Believe Inc. was able to refinance its $2 million debt, and instead of having to pay it by March 31st, 2017 (was a short term liability) it will now pay it in March 31st, 2037, it converted its short term liability into a long term liability.
