            (B) the financing statement is filed as a fixture
        
filing and the collateral is goods that are or are to become fixtures; or
        (2) the office of the Secretary of State in all other
    
cases, including a case in which the collateral is goods that are or are to become fixtures and the financing statement is not filed as a fixture filing.
