TO
FORM 12b-25
FOR
SUNRISE RESOURCES, INC.
The Company is not in a position to file its Form 10-K for the year ended
March 31, 1997 on a timely basis, and even with unusual effort and substantial
expense, the Company would not be in a position to file its 10-K on a timely
basis and fulfill its disclosure obligations satisfactorily. The Board of
Directors recently determined to take additional reserves of $6,600,000 on
certain loans and leases which had been consummated primarily in 1994 and 1995.
In addition, on June 25, 1997, the arbitrator of an arbitration action
brought by an affiliate of the Company arising out of the February 1995 merger
of the Company and the affiliate, issued the final piece of his arbitration
award. The Company needs the additional time to ensure that its complex
financial and business disclosures are current, accurate and complete.
