                                  SCHEDULE 13D

         This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D hereby amends and supplements a
Schedule 13D dated March 2, 1999 (the "Original Statement"), as amended by
Amendment No. 1 dated September 8, 1999 ("Amendment No. 1"), filed by and on
behalf of Peter J. King, The King Management Corporation ("King Management") and
Stephen D. Higgins, individually and as trustee under each of the William B.
King Stock Trust UA dated November 21, 1989 for the benefit of William B. King
(the "WBK Trust") and Russell S. King Stock Trust UA dated November 11, 1989 for
the benefit of Russell S. King (the "RSK Trust"), with respect to the common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of Sunrise International
Leasing Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Sunrise"). Mr. King, King
Management and Mr. Higgins are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the
"Reporting Persons."

         Except as set forth below, there are no changes to the information in
the Original Statement, as amended by Amendment No. 1. All terms used, but not
defined, in this Amendment No. 2 are as defined in the Original Statement. The
summary descriptions contained herein of certain agreements and documents are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreements
and documents filed as Exhibits hereto or incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Item 3 is supplemented in the following manner:

         On January 31, 2000, King Management entered into an agreement and plan
of merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Sunrise pursuant to which, on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Sunrise will be merged with and
into King Management (the "Merger"), with King Management being the surviving
corporation. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, the Reporting Persons and all of the shareholders of King Management
will reorganize their common stock ownership of Sunrise and King Management in
order to (i) create a new holding company (the "Parent") to hold all of the
outstanding common stock of King Management, and (ii) in the case of all of the
stockholders of Sunrise (other than King Management), eliminate their Sunrise
Common Stock ownership and options to acquire shares of Sunrise Common Stock
(the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization and the Merger are more fully
described in "Item 4. Purpose of Transaction."

         Upon completion of the formation of Parent as described in "Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction," Parent will borrow approximately $16,000,000 under a
credit facility or loan agreement (the "Financing"), and, following the closing
of the Financing, Parent will contribute such funds to King Management in
exchange for certain assets of King Management. King Management will use the
funds received from Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement, including the Merger, and to satisfy all other costs and
expenses arising in connection therewith.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         Item 4 is supplemented in the following manner:


                                  Page 5 of 14

<PAGE>

         On January 31, 2000, King Management entered into the Merger Agreement
with Sunrise, pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth therein, Sunrise will be merged with and into King Management, with King
Management being the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger,
stockholders of Sunrise (other than King Management or any of its direct or
indirect subsidiaries) will receive $5.25 in cash per share of Sunrise Common
Stock (the "Merger Consideration"). The Merger is subject to certain terms and
conditions, including (i) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the
stockholders of Sunrise; and (ii) the completion of the Financing.

         In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Persons entered
into an Agreement to Facilitate Merger pursuant to which they agreed to vote all
of their shares of Sunrise Common Stock in favor of the Merger Agreement and
against any proposal which would in any manner impede, prevent or nullify the
Merger or the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Reporting Persons agreed that
between the date of the Merger Agreement and the effective time of the Merger
(the "Reorganization Period"), the Reporting Persons will perform, or take all
actions necessary to ensure the performance of, the following actions in order
to consummate the Reorganization:

         -        The Reporting Persons will form Parent as a new Minnesota
                  corporation.

         -        Following the completion of the formation of Parent, the
                  Reporting Persons (other than King Management) and other
                  shareholders of King Management will contribute all of their
                  outstanding shares of common stock of King Management (the "KM
                  Common Stock") owned by such shareholders to Parent in
                  exchange for an equal number of shares of Parent common stock.
                  As a result of this exchange, all of the outstanding shares of
                  common stock of King Management will be owned one hundred
                  percent (100%) by Parent, such that King Management will
                  become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

         -        Simultaneously with the completion of the formation of Parent,
                  the Reporting Persons (other than King Management) will
                  contribute all of their outstanding shares of Sunrise Common
                  Stock owned by such Reporting Persons to Parent in exchange
                  for shares of Parent common stock. The number of shares of
                  Parent common stock issued to the Reporting Persons in
                  exchange for their respective contributions of shares of
                  Sunrise Common Stock will be based on the relative values of
                  the shares of Sunrise Common Stock and Parent common stock at
                  that time, as determined in good faith by the Board of
                  Directors of Parent. Thereafter, Parent will contribute all of
                  the shares of Sunrise Common Stock received from the Reporting
                  Persons to King Management in exchange for a number of shares
                  of KM Common Stock.

         -        Any outstanding vested options to purchase shares of Sunrise
                  Common Stock granted under Sunrise's 1991 Stock Option Plan
                  (the "Option Plan") and held by any of the Reporting Persons
                  at the Effective Time of the Merger will be cancelled upon the
                  effective time of the Merger as provided in the Merger
                  Agreement, and the Reporting Persons (and any other holder of
                  such vested options) will be entitled to receive, in
                  cancellation and settlement thereof, a cash



                                  Page 6 of 14

<PAGE>

                  payment (less any applicable withholding taxes) in the
                  aggregate amount equal to the product of (i) the number of
                  shares of Sunrise Common Stock into which such option would
                  have been exercisable at the effective time of the Merger if
                  such option had not been cancelled and (ii) the excess, if
                  any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per
                  share for the shares of Sunrise Common Stock subject to such
                  option as expressly stated in the applicable stock option
                  agreement or other agreement.

         -        Any outstanding vested options to purchase shares of Sunrise
                  Common Stock that were not granted under the Option Plan (the
                  "Non-Plan Options") and are held by any of the Reporting
                  Persons at the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled
                  upon the effective time of the Merger as provided in the
                  Merger Agreement, and the Reporting Persons will be entitled
                  to receive, in cancellation and settlement thereof, options to
                  purchase shares of Parent common stock (the "Parent Options")
                  under the same terms and conditions as the Non-Plan Options.
                  The number of shares of Parent common stock and the exercise
                  price per share for each Parent Option will be determined
                  based on the relative values of the shares of Sunrise Common
                  Stock and Parent Common Stock at the effective time of the
                  Merger, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
                  of Parent.

         -        As a result of the actions described in the foregoing three
                  paragraphs, the Reporting Persons at the effective time of the
                  Merger will have no share ownership, or right to receive any
                  shares of capital stock, of Sunrise, and will therefore have
                  no right to receive any Merger Consideration paid pursuant to
                  the terms of the Merger Agreement.

         -        The Reporting Person irrevocably appointed Mr. King, during
                  the Reorganization Period, as proxy for and on behalf of the
                  Reporting Persons to perform the actions contemplated by the
                  Agreement to Facilitate.

         Under the terms of the Agreement to Facilitate Merger, the Reporting
Persons agreed, except as otherwise provided above, not to make any sales,
gifts, transfers, pledges, or other dispositions of Sunrise Common Stock
(including any shares of Sunrise Common Stock issued upon the exercise of
options) or KM Common Stock, deposit any Sunrise Common Stock (including any
shares of Sunrise Common Stock issued upon the exercise of options) or KM Common
Stock into a voting trust or enter into any voting agreement or arrangement with
respect thereto, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or
undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition, sale, assignment
transfer or other disposition of Sunrise Common Stock (including any shares of
Sunrise Common Stock issued upon the exercise of options) or KM Common Stock,
without first making any such transferee, assignee or pledgee fully aware of the
obligations under the Agreement to Facilitate Merger and obtaining such
transferee's or pledgee's written agreement to comply with the terms of the
Agreement to Facilitate.

         At the effective time of the Merger, the articles of incorporation of
King Management, as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the
Merger, will be the articles of incorporation of King Management, as the
surviving corporation, after the Merger until


                                  Page 7 of 14

<PAGE>

thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of such
articles of incorporation. The directors and officers of King Management
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be the directors and
officers of King Management, as the surviving corporation, after the Merger or
until their respective successors are elected or appointed and qualified.

         In the event the Merger is consummated, the Reporting Persons expect
that shortly thereafter, the registration of Sunrise's Common Stock under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will be terminated and will cease
to be reported on the Nasdaq National Market. In addition, the Reporting Persons
expect that at the effective time of the Merger the composition of the board of
directors of Sunrise will change. However, the Reporting Persons are not certain
at this time who will serve as members of the board of directors of Sunrise
after the Merger.

         The foregoing summaries of the Merger Agreement and the Agreement to
Facilitate Merger are qualified in their entirety by reference to a copy of (i)
the Merger Agreement incorporated by reference as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment
No. 2 to Schedule 13D and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference, and
(ii) the Agreement to Facilitate Merger incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2
to this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D and incorporated herein in its entirety
by reference.

         Except as otherwise provided in this Item 4 and other than as to
matters that Mr. King, as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of
Sunrise, may consider and discuss with other Sunrise officers and board members
from time to time, none of the Reporting Persons have any present plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in:

         -        the acquisition by any person of additional securities of
                  Sunrise or the disposition of securities of Sunrise;

                    [Letterhead of Fredrikson & Byron, P.A.]



February 24, 1999


Mr. Peter J. King
The King Management Corporation
5500 Wayzata Blvd., Suite #750
Golden Valley, MN 55416



Dear  Peter:

         The Sunrise Board of Directors decided some time ago that it was in the
best interests of Sunrise to begin repurchasing its common stock on the basis
that the Board believed that the Sunrise stock was significantly undervalued. In
fact, in the last trading window ending on November 30, 1998, Sunrise did
repurchase 566,418 of its shares. The Board continues to believe that it is in
Sunrise's best interests to repurchase its stock. If anything, the Board is more
committed to this program than ever because of Sunrise's excellent financial
performance and the continued reluctance of the market to recognize this
performance. Because of the significant increase of equipment repurchases,
Sunrise has run up against its credit line limits, even though there has been a
significant increase in Sunrise's assets and net equity. Sunrise is dealing with
this problem, but it will take some time before Sunrise is in a position where
its access to cash will allow it to get back into the market to repurchase its
stock.

         Heartland Advisors I has indicated its desire to sell 630,000 shares of
Sunrise common stock for $4.35 per share, plus $31,500 to cover a commission for
Dougherty Summit. Dougherty Summit may split the commission with Heartland. Tom
Abood of Dougherty Summit will verify for us the treatment of the commission
payment. You have indicated that King Management would be willing to purchase
the Sunrise stock and provide Sunrise the right to purchase the stock back from
King Management at such time or times as Sunrise's cash resources allow it to
make such purchase or purchases without impinging on its ability to fund its
operations. You have agreed to afford Sunrise this right on the following terms:

     1.  At any time, Sunrise may give written notice to you of its desire to
         purchase its stock from you.

     2.  Such notice will include the number of shares which Sunrise intends to
         purchase, but in no event will any single purchase cover fewer than
         50,000 shares.

     3.  With the initial purchase, Sunrise will pay to you, in addition to the
         purchase price of $4.35 per share, the Dougherty Summit fee of $31,000.

     4.  Within 15 days after written notice from Sunrise, King Management will
         deliver to Sunrise, a Sunrise stock certificate for the number of
         shares being acquired by Sunrise, as set forth in its notice, and
         Sunrise will deliver to King Management a check for the purchase price
         for such shares, determined on the basis of $4.35 per share, plus King
         Management's carrying costs for such shares which you and Sunrise have
         agreed will be determined by applying an annual interest rate equal to
         eight percent.

     5.  This right of repurchase by Sunrise of the Sunrise shares will extend
         for a minimum term of one year, and may be extended beyond one year,
         subject to King Management's approval.

     6.  The obligations of this letter agreement between Sunrise and King
         Management will be binding on the successors and assigns of both
         parties, and will be subject to the laws of the State of Minnesota.

         Peter, if this letter reflects your understanding of the agreement
between Sunrise and King Management, please sign where indicated below as
President of The King Management Corporation.

                                     Very truly yours,

                                     /s/ Thomas R. King

                                     Thomas R. King
                                     On Behalf of the Board of Directors of
                                     Sunrise International Leasing Corporation

I hereby agree to the terms outlined above.
