(1) A continuation statement may be filed within six months prior to the expiration of the five-year period of effectiveness of an effective financing statement. A continuation statement shall identify the effective financing statement by file number, filing office where originally filed, and date filed. Upon timely filing of the continuation statement, the effectiveness of the effective financing statement shall be continued for five years after the last date to which the effective financing statement was effective, whereupon its effectiveness shall lapse unless another continuation statement is filed prior to such lapse. Succeeding continuation statements may be filed in the same manner to continue the effectiveness of the effective financing statement.
(2) The effectiveness of an effective financing statement that was filed before July 1, 1996, and that had not otherwise lapsed by December 31, 1997, shall be deemed to have lapsed in the manner provided in subsection (1) of this section on December 31, 1997, unless a continuation statement was filed on or after July 1, 1996, but on or before December 31, 1997, that complied with the requirements of subsection (1) of this section. The filing of a continuation statement pursuant to this subsection (2) shall have extended the effectiveness of the effective financing statement for five years after the last date to which the effective financing statement would otherwise have been effective, whereupon it shall have lapsed in the manner set forth in subsection (1) of this section unless further continuation statements were filed in the manner and within the time periods prescribed in subsection (1) of this section in order to prevent such lapse.
