Since a letter of credit is not a liability until it is drawn against, typically it would be omitted from the balance sheet... although it MAY be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.
Once it has been drawn against, it is presented in the liability section of the balance sheet, and the repayment terms would dictate how it is presented, but typically the portion of principal due within the next 12 months would be presented as a current liability, and the balance would be presented as a long-term liability.
