Identifiable proceeds
crediort can prove proceeds came from original proceeds Problem: co-minging. To determine which part of comingled mass of cash is identifiable (such that the secured party has a security itnerest in ti) apply the lowest intermidiate balance test
34
Lowest interemediate balance test
identifiable proceeds, look at the balancei ncommingled account startinf at time the proceeds are deposited and ending at time you are applying test. The law deems that the loest lbalande during that tiem period is the secured party's identigiable proceeds( btut it cannot exceed the claue of the cas proceeds originally deposited)
