Three Possible Results
• $29,000 of the check was our proceeds.
– But it would create a security interest for an
amount less than the value of the collateral and
less than the amount of the debt. Unusual
• Only the $6,000 in the bank account remains

"identifiability" when it is commingled in the
check with non-proceeds money.
• The new XT-100 is our collateral
– Value of our collateral expands
