This is off topic in my humble opinion, but.
The Company owes Bank B and Bank B has the paper as an asset on its balance sheet.

I wasn't sure about where to ask this question but it seemed to fit this stack. I cleared by doubt other way, it seems that you account it in debt or assests. – user823959 Oct 06 '11 at 13:29
