(i) a schedule of property not listed in the final report and account acquired after the filing of the petition but before conversion, except if the case is converted from chapter 13 to chapter 7 and 348(f)(2) does not apply;
(ii) a schedule of unpaid debts not listed in the final report and account incurred after confirmation but before the conversion; and
(iii) a schedule of executory contracts and unexpired leases entered into or assumed after the filing of the petition but before conversion.

(6) Postpetition Claims; Preconversion Administrative Expenses; Notice. A request for payment of an administrative expense incurred before conversion of the case is timely filed under 503(a) of the Code if it is filed before conversion or a time fixed by the court.

In an involuntary chapter 11 case, the debtor shall file within 15 days after entry of the order for relief a statement as to whether the debtor is a small business debtor. Except as provided in subdivision (c), the status of the case as a small business case shall be in accordance with the debtors statement under this subdivision, unless and until the court enters an order finding that the debtors statement is incorrect.

(c) Appointment of Committee of Unsecured Creditors. If a committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed under 1102(a)(1), the case shall proceed as a small business case only if, and from the time when, the court enters an order determining that the committee has not been sufficiently active and representative to provide effective oversight of the debtor and that the debtor satisfies all the other requirements for being a small business. A request for a determination under this subdivision may be filed by the United States trustee or a party in interest only within a reasonable time after the failure of the committee to be sufficiently active and representative. The debtor may file a request for a determination at any time as to whether the committee has been sufficiently active and representative.

Any objection or request for a determination under this rule shall be governed by Rule 9014 and served on: the debtor; the debtors attorney; the United States trustee; the trustee; any committee appointed under 1102 or its authorized agent, or, if no committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed under 1102, the creditors included on the list filed under Rule 1007 (d); and any other entity as the court directs.
