ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On March 12, 1997, MLC Group, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("MLC"),
finalized and executed documents establishing a $10,000,000 credit facility
agreement (the "Credit Facility"), with Heller Financial, Inc., a Delaware
corporation.  MLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary and is the principal operating
subsidiary of MLC Holdings, Inc.  Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a
maximum amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) is available to MLC,
provided, that each draw is subject to the approval of Heller.  The Credit
Facility is evidenced by a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of January 31,
1997 (the "Loan Agreement") and a First Amendment to Loan and Security
Agreement (the "Amendment") dated as of March 12, 1997 (although the Loan
Agreement is dated effective January 31, 1997, all documents were executed
concurrently in March, 1997).

Purpose and Use of the Credit Facility

         MLC intends to use the Credit Facility primarily for the permanent
fixed-rate discounting of rents for commercial leases of information technology
assets with the MLC's middle-market customers.  To date, no advances under the
Credit Facility have been made.

Principal Terms of the Credit Facility

         Each advance under the Credit Facility will be related to one or more
contracts for the lease or conditional sale of assets between MLC as lessor or
secured party and the end user of the assets.  Each such advance will  bear
interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of the weekly average U.S. Treasury
Constant Maturities for a Treasury Note having approximately an equal term as
the weighted average term of the contracts subject to the advance, plus an
index ranging from 1.75% to 3.00%, depending on the amount of the advance and
the credit rating (if any) of the lessee.  The Credit Facility contains a
number of covenants binding on MLC requiring, among other things, maintenance
of certain lock box compliance ratios, and limiting, among other things, liens,
additional borrowing, mergers, acquisitions, and asset sales.  The Credit
Facility is a limited recourse facility,  secured by a first-priority lien in
the contracts and chattel paper relating to each advance, the equipment subject
to such contracts, a 10% cross-collateralized first loss guarantee, and all
books, records and proceeds pertaining thereto.  The Credit Facility is
guaranteed by MLC Holdings, Inc.

         Lending under the Credit Facility is in Heller's sole discretion, and
is further subject to MLC's compliance with certain conditions and procedures.
Under the Credit Facility, upon not less than sixty (60) days' prior notice,
either Heller or MLC may notify the other of its intention not to seek/provide
any further financing thereunder.
