Before REAVLEY, DAVIS and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.


DUHÉ, Circuit Judge:

This case involves questions of proof of insolvency and the affirmative defense of payment in the ordinary course of business in the context of a bankruptcy trustee's effort to avoid payments made by the debtor shortly before filing for bankruptcy. The district court found that insolvency was established and that the ordinary course of business defense prevailed. We affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
