2. "Notice Filing." This section adopts the system of "notice filing." What is required to be filed is not, as under pre-UCC chattel mortgage and conditional sales acts, the security agreement itself, but only a simple record providing a limited amount of information (financing statement). The financing statement may be filed before the security interest attaches or thereafter. See subsection (d) [Maine cite subsection (4)]. See also Section 9-308(a) [Maine cite section 9-1308, subsection (1)] (contemplating situations in which a financing statement is filed before a security interest attaches).
