                COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

         Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  requires  the
Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered  class  of the  Company's  equity  securities,  to  file  reports  of
ownership and changes in ownership with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission
(the SEC").  Officers,  directors and greater than ten-percent  shareholders are
required by SEC  regulation  to furnish  the Company  with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file.

         Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms  received by it,
or written  representations  from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
required for those persons,  the Company  believes that,  during the period from
April 1, 1997 through March 31, 1998, all filing requirements  applicable to its
officers,  directors,  and  greater  than  ten-percent  beneficial  owners  were
complied with,  except that Mr.  Brattain  reported one  transaction on a Form 4
that was not timely filed and Mr. Peter King reported two transactions on a Form
4 that was not timely filed, and as trustee of a Voting Trust Agreement, filed a
Form 3 late.

shares  at $5.00,  125,000  shares of $6.00  and  150,000  shares at $7.00.  The

Compensation of Directors

         Meeting Fees.  During  fiscal 1998,  the Company paid each director who
was not an  employee  of the  Company  (a  "Non-Employee  Director")  an  annual
retainer of $2,500 plus $1,000 for each Board of Directors  meeting attended and
$500 for each committee meeting attended.  On June 23, 1998, the annual retainer
was  increased to $10,000,  and the payment for each Board meeting was increased
to $1,500.  Mr. Peter King agreed that he would not receive such fees during the
period of his consulting  agreement as described in the section entitled Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions below.

         Stock Option Grants.  The Company's 1991 Stock Option Plan has provided
for the  automatic  grant of stock  options  to each  Non-Employee  Director  to
purchase  the  following  number  of  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock at
exercise  prices equal to 100% of the current market price on the date of grant:

Board,  and  (ii)  2,000  shares  upon  such   Non-Employee   Director's  annual
re-election to the Board of Directors,  which option is immediately  exercisable
in full. On June 23, 1998,  subject to shareholder  approval,  the Board amended
the 1991 Stock Option Plan to increase the initial  grant to a new  non-employee
director to 15,000  shares,  which option  becomes  exercisable to the extent of
2,000 shares  immediately,  2,500 shares after year one, 3,000 shares after year
two,  3,500 shares after year three and 4,000 shares after year four.  Mr. Peter
King agreed that he would not receive  options  under the formula  stock  option
grants to Non-Employee  Directors during the period of his consulting  agreement
as  described  in  the  section  entitled  Certain   Relationships  and  Related
Transactions below. In addition,  for their services as a director,  each of Mr.
Donald  Brattain and Mr.  Thomas King were granted an option to purchase  20,000
shares at $3.25 per share, which options are immediately exercisable, subject to
shareholder  approval of an amendment to the Company's 1991 Stock Option Plan to
permit discretionary option grants to Non-Employee Directors.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

         The Company has adopted a policy of not entering into  transactions  in
which any  officer,  director,  shareholder  or  affiliate  of the Company has a
material  financial  interest  unless the  transaction  has been  approved  by a
majority  of  the   disinterested   directors  of  the  Company   based  upon  a
determination  that the terms of such  transactions are no less favorable to the
Company than those which could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.  The
Company has entered into the  following  transactions  in which  directors had a
material financial interest:

         In connection with the February 1995 merger with International  Leasing
Corporation,  the Company entered into a Consulting and Noncompetition Agreement
("Consulting   Agreement")  with  Peter  J.  King,  whereby  Mr.  King  provided
consulting services to the Company for three years ending February 13, 1998, Mr.
King was paid $5,000 a month during the third year of the Consulting Agreement.

         Pursuant to an agreement  by and among the Company,  Mr. Peter King and
The King Management  Corporation  ("King  Management"),  a corporation  which is
controlled  by Mr. King,  dated June 16,  1997,  as amended on June 23, 1998 (as
amended,  the  "Management  Agreement"),  it was  agreed  that Mr.  King or King
Management agreed to provide certain management  services to the Company through
June 30, 2000. Pursuant to the Management Agreement,  Mr. King is an employee of
the Company and will serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive  Officer
until June 30, 2000 (see  Employment  and Severance  Agreements or  Arrangements
above).  The Management  Agreement provides that Mr. King and/or King Management
would  provide  certain  services,  including  but not  limited to working  with
management on current and prospective vendor  relationships,  monitoring problem
leases and loans;  assisting the Company on meeting  financing  requirements and
working with the Company's bankers.  Pursuant to the Management Agreement,  King
Management  has  provided  the  Company  access  to  certain  of its  employees,
including  Jeff  Jacobsen,  a director  of the Company  and its  Executive  Vice
President.  These  employees  have been  expending at least 85% of their time on
Sunrise  matters from April 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998.  For these  services,
King Management has been paid $125,000. Two King Management employees, including
Jeff Jacobsen, became full-time employees of the Company on June 23, 1998. Three
King Management  employees continue to provide services to the Company for which
King  Management  will be reimbursed.  Employees of the Company may also provide
services to King  Management  for which the King  Management  may be reimbursed.
Upon  joining the  Company on June 23,  1998,  Mr.  Jacobsen  received  ten-year
options  to  purchase  100,000  shares  of  Common  Stock  and the  second  King
Management  employee  received  options to purchase 10,000 shares.  In addition,
options for 17,000  shares have been granted to the three other King  Management
employees  providing  services to the  Company  and who remain  King  Management
employees.  All of these  options  have an  exercise  price of $3.25 per  share.
Pursuant to the  Management  Agreement,  King  Management  has agreed to provide
subordinated debt financing,  direct financing and/or other financial assistance
to the Company for a period of three years in consideration of King Management's
right to  participate  as lessor to the  extent  of 25% of  certain  higher-risk
vendor  leasing  programs  and risk  pools and to the extent of 15% of all other
vendor leasing programs of the Company. King Management has agreed to provide to
the Company the use of its balance sheet resources to enable the Company to meet
its vendor leasing program financing requirements.
