Deferred Expenses are on the asset side of the balance sheet, not the liability side. Long Term relates to anything beyond the next twelve months, but a long term deferred expense would probably be listed as "Other Assets". The deferred expenses are correctly represent the Assets of the company. But, if a company has not paid its rent & its due in next 12 month or may be due on virtual payment basis in 2-3 years, then such expense (deferred rent) is required to be shown on Liability side of the B/S. Furthermore, such payments to be made in next 12 months are to be presented as Current Liability & payments to be expelled in more than 12 months are to be shown as Non-Current Liability Section.

What is Reverse piercing of corporate veil?
Reverse piercing the corporate veil is the act holding a shareholder personally liable for the debts of the corporation and then (when taking his assets as damages) reaching into the assets of other corporations to which he is a shareholder. Normally when a corporation takes on too much debt and the creditors want their money, it goes insolvent (bankrupt). However, if the corporate formalities have not been observed (there was commingling of personal and corporate funds, there was a failure to maintain the corporate records, etc.) and adhering to the limited liability rules of corporations would promote injustice, a creditor can "pierce the corporate veil" and reach past the limited liability into the personal assets of the shareholder(s). However, if the personal assets of the shareholders are mostly stock in other corporations that have also taken too much debt, this doesn't help much (because the stocks wouldn't be worth much on the market and dissolving those other corporations means their assets would be paid to creditors before they can be distributed to the shareholders). In that situation, the court can "reverse pierce the corporate veil" and take the assets of the other corporations, bypassing the line of creditors.
