¶1Appellants filed suit against appellees to enjoin foreclosure on appellants’ home, alleging that the security deed and note held by appellees was made in violation of the Industrial Loan Act. The trial court, after hearing evidence, ordered that appellees be allowed to foreclose the security deed and note, and barred appellants from seeking injunctive relief or hindering the foreclosure.
¶2On appeal, appellees concede that the acceleration clauses contained in their note and security deed were void and unenforceable. They have since marked the note and security deed satisfied, and canceled the deed to *467secure debt of record in the Clerk’s office of Bulloch County.
¶3The question of whether or not appellees can legally foreclose on the property is moot because the documents have now been canceled. Appellees’ action in conceding to appellants’ claims after appeal was filed in this court amounts to a substantial modification of the trial court’s order. Thus, costs in this court and the lower court must be assessed against the appellees.
¶4Case dismissed with direction that costs be assessed accordingly.
