ITEM 1.  CHANGE IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT

         On June 28, 2000 (the "Effective Date"), Sunrise International Leasing
Corporation ("Sunrise") consummated a merger (the "Merger") with The King
Management Corporation ("King Management") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger by and between Sunrise and King Management dated as of January 31, 2000,
as amended on May 25, 2000. The Merger was approved by Sunrise's stockholders at
a meeting held on June 28, 2000. The Merger became effective on June 28, 2000
after the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the
State of Minnesota and the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware. As a result of the Merger, each share of common stock of
Sunrise outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, other than shares held by
King Management (or any direct or indirect subsidiary) and stockholders who did
not vote in favor of the Merger and who properly exercised and perfected their
demand for appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, converted into the right to receive $5.25 in cash. In
addition, holders of vested options granted under Sunrise's option plan to
acquire shares of common stock of Sunrise became entitled to receive a cash
settlement, net of withholding taxes, equal to the product of (1) $5.25 less the
exercise price of such options and (2) the number of shares subject to such
holder's options that have vested as of the Effective Date.

         The amount of funds required to (1) fund the payment of the merger
consideration and option consideration; and (2) pay the fees and expenses in
connection with the Merger is estimated to be approximately $15 million. The
transaction was financed by approximately $15 million of proceeds from new term
loan entered into between the parent company of King Management, which was
renamed "The King Management Corporation" after the Merger, and LaSalle Bank
N.A. In addition, the parent company of King Management also received a loan of
subordinated debt from Vanguard Investments, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability
company, in the amount of $5.3 million, which in turn was loaned by parent
company to King Management as subordinated debt, in each case to satisfy certain
funding and capitalization requirements of the lenders to each of them.
