                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (unaudited)

                          March 31, 1997

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of 
all material intercompany balances and transactions. Certain 
reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to 
conform to the current presentation.

   The consolidated financial data for the quarters ended March 
31, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited, but include all adjustments 
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the 
management of Sunrise Technologies International, Inc. believes to 
be necessary for fair presentation of the periods presented.  
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the 
full year.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction 
with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 
31, 1996 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

   The Company has incurred significant losses for the last 
several years and at March 31, 1997 has an accumulated deficit of 
approximately $32,832,000. The accompanying condensed financial 
statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue 
as a going concern.  The Company's ability to continue as a going 
concern is dependent upon performing profitably or obtaining 
further financing.  On March 25, 1997, the Company signed a 
definitive agreement to sell its dental assets to Lares Research.  
Consideration for the sale will be $4,000,000 in cash at closing 
and $1,500,000 in an interest bearing promissory note, with two 
installments due three and four years, respectively, from the date 
of closing.  Should the sale of the dental assets not  be 
successfully completed, the Company may need to seek additional 
debt or equity financing.  There can be no assurance that such 
financing, if necessary, will be available, in which case 
management may need to curtail or suspend certain or all 
operations.

2. NET LOSS PER SHARE

   Net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 
and 1996 is based solely on weighted average shares of common 
stock outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent shares 
have not been considered in the computation since their inclusion 
would have an antidilutive effect.

   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 
issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to 
be adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will 
be required to change the method currently used to compute 
earnings per share and restate all prior periods.  Under the new  
requirements for calculating basic earnings per share,  the 
dilutive effect of stock options will not be included.  The 
computed basic earnings per share will not be  different from the 
primary earnings per share for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 
and March 31, 1996.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

   Revenues are recognized at time of shipment.  A provision for 
the estimated future cost of warranty is made at the time a sale 
is recorded.

                                  =======           =======

5. INCOME TAXES

   Due to the Company's losses from operations, all deferred tax 
assets, which primarily result from net operating loss carry 
forwards, have been offset in full by a valuation allowance in 
accordance with SFAS No. 109.

6. ISSUANCE OF REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE NOTES

   In February and March 1997, the Company completed a series of 
private placements (collectively, the "1997 Notes Placement") of 
5% redeemable convertible notes due 1999 (convertible into common 
stock) (The "Notes") and warrants to purchase common stock, (the
"Warrants").  The total face amount of the Notes is approximately
$4.1 million, and net proceeds aggregated approximately $3.7 
million.  In accordance with recent Securities and Exchange 
Commission Division of Corporation Finance guidance, the Company 
has recorded a premium of approximately $269,000 associated with the
conversion feature  of the Notes as additional interest associated
with the Notes and paid-in capital.  Because the Notes are 
immediately convertible at the holders' option, the entire amount
has been recorded as interest expense upon issuance of the Notes.  
The Company has recorded the Notes net of debt offering costs of 
approximately $358,000 and the value associated with the Warrants 
of approximately $256,000, which will be amortized as interest 
expense over the period that the Notes are outstanding.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

   Sunrise Technologies International, Inc. (the "Company") 
develops, manufactures and markets laser systems for applications 
in ophthalmology and dentistry.  In addition, the Company has 
developed, manufactures and markets an air abrasive cavity 
preparation system for dentistry (the "MicroPrep (Registered)"). 

   A substantial portion of the Company's revenues  (98% in 1996 
and 85% for the first three months of 1997) are derived from 
domestic and international sales of the Company's dental laser 
products, including the SunLase 800, the SunLase 400 and the 
SunLase Master, and air abrasive products, including the 
MicroPrep (Registered) and the Associate (Registered), a table-top 
version of the MicroPrep (Registered).

   Since mid-1992, the Company has focused a significant portion 
of its efforts on engineering and development of its laser corneal 
shaping product (the "LTK System") for the treatment of refractive 
errors of the eye, such as hyperopia (farsightedness) and 
astigmatism.  The LTK System is based upon patented technology 
acquired in the Company acquisitions of in-process technology from 
Laser Biotech, Inc. and Emmetropix Corporation in 1992.

   The Company has incurred substantial losses in the past five 
years, which have seriously depleted its working capital.  Sales 
of its existing dental products at current levels will not be 
sufficient to sustain both the existing business and the continued 
development and regulatory licensing of additional products, 
including the LTK System.  Historically, the Company has been able 
to raise additional working capital for all aspects of its 
business through the private placement of its common stock and 
securities convertible into common stock.  Private placements of 
common stock raised approximately $15,296,000 in net proceeds 
between 1994 and 1996.  In the first quarter of 1997, the Company 
issued in a series of private placements (collectively, the "1997 
Notes Placement") 5% redeemable convertible notes due 1999 
(convertible into common stock) and warrants to purchase common 
stock for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $3,743,000.

   In March 1997, the Company entered into an asset purchase 
agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Lares Research, a 
California corporation ("Lares"), providing for the sale of the 
Company's assets associated with its dental laser, air abrasive 
and composite curing systems (the "Dental Assets").  Lares is a 
privately held company located in Chico, California.  Pursuant to 
the Asset Purchase Agreement, Lares will pay the Company 
$4,000,000 in cash at closing and will deliver a promissory note 
for $1,500,000 (the "Lares Note"), which will bear interest at the 
rate of 8%.  Under the Lares Note, $1,000,000 will be payable on 
the third anniversary of the closing, and $500,000 will be payable
on the fourth anniversary of the closing.  The Lares Note will be 
subordinate in right of payment to Lares' obligations to its bank 
(the "Bank").  Lares has agreed that so long as the Lares Note is 
outstanding its aggregate obligations to the Bank will not exceed 
$4,750,000.  Although the Company anticipates collecting interest 
and principal on the Lares Note, collection is not reasonably 
assured.  Closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to 
certain conditions, including approval of the Company's 
stockholders.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

   As of March 31, 1997 the Company had $1,618,000 in cash and 
cash equivalents.  The Company's operating activities used 
approximately $2,789,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997 
and used approximately $5,297,000 in cash during fiscal 1996.  A 
substantial portion of the 1996 and 1997 losses was funded by a 
series of private placements of the Company's common stock in 1996,
for aggregate net 

                               6
<PAGE>         
         
         
proceeds of approximately $2,245,000 
(collectively, the "1996 Stock Placements"), and the 1997 Notes 
Placement, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $3,743,000.

   The Company's current operations continue to be cash flow 
negative, limiting the Company's working capital resources.  
Working capital at March 31, 1997, including the net proceeds from 
the 1997 Notes Placement (approximately $3,743,000), amounted to 
approximately $3,265,000.  At December 31, 1996, working capital 
amounted to approximately $1,073,000.  The Company's ability to 
continue as a going concern is dependent upon performing 
profitably or obtaining further financing.  Management believes 
the net proceeds from the sale of the Dental Assets pursuant to 
the Asset Purchase Agreement, together with existing working 
capital, will provide sufficient funds for the Company's planned 
operations in 1997. If the sale of the Dental Assets is not 
successfully completed, the Company may need to seek additional 
debt or equity financing.   There can be no assurance that such 
financing, if necessary, will be available, in which case 
management may need to curtail or suspend certain or all 
operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Revenues of $1,009,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1997 represent a 34% decrease from revenues of $1,521,000 for the 
same period in 1996.  This decline is due primarily to the 
introduction of the Associate (Registered) in late 1995 (with strong 
initial sales in 1996) and continued decline in demand for the 
Company's dental laser products.

   Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5% for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997, from approximately 25% for the 
same period in 1996.  This decline is due primarily to further 
increases in the proportion of sales of dental products made 
through distributors, at lower prices than direct sales, and to 
lower overhead absorption as a result of reduced production 
volume.

   Engineering and development expenses totaled $273,000 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $343,000 for the 
same period in 1996.  Such expenses had been higher in 1996 due 
primarily to one-time costs, including consulting fees, associated 
with the CureStar composite curing system, a dental product 
introduced in the first quarter of 1997.

   Sales, marketing and regulatory costs were $659,000 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $946,000 for the 
same period in 1996.  This decline is due primarily to two 
factors:  the reduction in the Company's direct sales force, as a 
result of the decision to increase use of distributors for sales 
of dental products, and higher costs in the first quarter of 1996 
incurred in connection with the launch of the Associate (Registered).

   General and administrative expenses were $706,000 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $567,000 for the same 
period in 1996, primarily as a result of changes in the Company's 
management team and increases in legal and audit expenses.  

   Interest expense during the period of $812,000 is primarily
non-cash deemed interest associated with the issuance of the Notes.

   Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was 
$2,388,000, compared to a net loss of $1,443,000 for the same 
period in 1996.  The increase in net loss was due primarily to a 
decrease in demand for the Company's products, an increase in the 
Company's use of distributors and the non-cash interest expense of 
$812,000 recorded in connection with the 1997 Notes Placement.
