The situation that would not require the long-term liabilities to be reported as current liabilities on the balance sheet is : "The company intends to refinance the debt and did so prior to issuance of the financial statements".

Explanation:

Analyzing all the options given above:

The long-term debt matures within the upcoming year - which means that the liability payable is less than one year, therefore, it is a current liability. The creditor has the right to demand payment due to a contractual violation - which means that the money is immediately payable. Therefore, it refers to the current liability. The long term debt is callable by the creditor - which means it is also to be recorded as a current liability.

The above three statements clearly explain that they are recorded as a current liability, but when the company intends to refinance the debt and did so prior to issuance of the financial statements does not record the current liability.
