Item 1

 
Example 6: A pre-effective-date financing statement covers "all
general intangibles" of a debtor. As defined under former Article
9, a "general intangible," would include rights to payment for
lottery winnings. These rights to payment are "accounts" under
this Article, however. A post-effective-date continuation
statement will not continue the effectiveness of the pre-effective-
date financing statement with respect to lottery winnings unless it
amends the indication of collateral covered to include lottery
winnings (e.g., by adding "accounts," "rights to payment for
lottery winnings," or the like). If the continuation statement
does not amend the indication of collateral, the continuation
statement will be effective to continue the effectiveness of the
financing statement only with respect to "general intangibles" as
defined in this Article.

 
Example 7: The facts are as in Example 6, except that the
pre-effective-date financing statement covers "all accounts and
general intangibles." Even though rights to payment for lottery
winnings are "general intangibles" under former Article 9 and
"accounts" under this Article, a post-effective-date continuation
statement would continue the effectiveness of the pre-effective-
date financing statement with respect to lottery winnings. There
would be no need to amend the indication of collateral covered,
inasmuch as the indication ("accounts") satisfies the
requirements of this Article.

 
§9-1706.__When initial financing statement suffices to

 
continue effectiveness of financing statement

 
(1)__The filing of an initial financing statement in the
office specified in section 9-1501 continues the effectiveness of
a financing statement filed before this Article takes effect if:

 
(a)__The filing of an initial financing statement in that
office would be effective to perfect a security interest
under this Article;

 
(b)__The pre-effective-date financing statement was filed in
an office in another state or another office in this State;
and

 
(c)__The initial financing statement satisfies subsection
(3).

 
(2)__The filing of an initial financing statement under
subsection (1) continues the effectiveness of the pre-effective-
date financing statement:
