...governed by Florida law and Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Under the U.C.C., a security interest in collateral attaches to any “identifiable proceeds” of collateral upon its sale or distribution. See U.C.C. § 9-315(a)(2); Fla. Stat. § 679.3151 (1)....

" Fla. Stat. Ann. § 679.3151(1)(a) (West 2010) (emphasis added). Moreover, the "security interest attaches to any identifiable proceeds of collateral." Fla. Stat.

...The Reacquired Lot is an "identifiable proceed" because the Mortgage described the Lot with particularity. An Investor's automatic security interest in the Reacquired Lot initially is a perfected security interest because the Investor's security interest in the Mortgage Receivable was perfected. Fla. Stat. Ann. § 679.3151(3) (West 2010). However, section 679.3151(4) of the Florida Statutes generally limits automatic perfection of a security interest in the identifiable proceeds of collateral to twenty days from the date of attachment.

...§ 679.1091(4)(k) (West 2010) (attachment of a security interest in a mortgage on real property under Fla. Stat. § 679.2031 and perfection of that interest under Fla. Stat. § 679.3081 are within the scope of Chapter 679). Subsection (b) of Fla. Stat. § 679.3151(4) requires that the proceeds be "identifiable cash proceeds" and is inapplicable because real estate is not cash. The Investors' security interests in the Reacquired Lots are not perfected under the last subsection of Fla. Stat. § 679.3151(4), subsection (c), because the only way to perfect an interest in Florida real estate is compliance with Florida's recording laws, and the Investors did not record their interests in the Reacquired Lots as required by chapter 695 of the Florida Statutes....
