$3 million is classified as short-term in the December 31 financial statements.

Explanation:

Note Payable:

The notes payable due on February 28 had only two months to mature by December 31.  Therefore, the amount of $3 million is classified as short-term in the December 31 financial statements.

A short-term debt is a debt that is due for payment within the next 12 months.  With a notes payable of $3 million that is due for payment on February 28, the whole amount is classified as short-term.  The current year's notes payable of $2.4 million would be classified as long-term debt since it would be due in 5 years' time.
