ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     At a Special Meeting of the stockholders of Sunrise
Technologies International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Registrant"), held on June 26, 1997, the stockholders approved
the sale of the Registrant's dental business and substantially
all of the assets used in the operation thereof (the "Dental
Sale") to Lares Research, a California corporation ("Lares").
The Dental Sale is more fully described in the Proxy Statement
dated May 29, 1997, relating to the Special Meeting (the "Proxy
Statement").  The assets sold to Lares did not include the
Registrant's cash or accounts receivable, and Lares assumed only
specified liabilities of the dental business.

     The Dental Sale was effected pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement dated as of March 26, 1997, by and between the
Registrant and Lares, under which Lares paid the Registrant
$4 million in cash and delivered a promissory note for $1.5
million (the "Note").  Under the Note, $1 million is payable in
June 2000, and $500,000 is payable in June 2001.  Interest
accrues on the unpaid principal amount of the Note at the rate of
8% per annum.  The consideration paid by Lares was determined by
negotiations between the Registrant and Lares.  As described more
fully in the Proxy Statement, the board of directors of the
Registrant considered several factors in its decision to
recommend the Dental Sale to the stockholders, including the
Registrant's needs for cash and the historical and ongoing losses
incurred by the Registrant in the operation of the dental
business.

     There are no material relationships between Lares and the
Registrant or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of
the registrant or any associate of any such director or officer.
