ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

On December 18, 1998, MLC Holdings,  Inc., a Delaware corporation,  with its two
wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  MLC Group,  Inc., a Virginia  corporation,  and MLC
Federal,  Inc., a Virginia  corporation  (collectively,  "MLC"), as co-borrowers
finalized and executed documents  establishing a $50,000,000  committed recourse
line of credit (the "First Union Credit  Facility"),  with First Union  National
Bank, a national  banking  association,  as agent.  Under the terms of the First
Union Credit  Facility,  a maximum amount of  ($50,000,000) is available to MLC,
though each draw is subject to the availability of sufficient  collateral in the
borrowing  base.  The First  Union  Credit  Facility  is  evidenced  by a credit
agreement,  dated as of December  31,  1998 (the  "Credit  Agreement",  security
agreement, dated as of December 31, 1998 (the "Security Agreement") and a pledge
agreement  dated as of December  18, 1998 (the  "Pledge  Agreement").  The First
Union Credit  Facility  replaces MLC's  $35,000,000  committed  recourse line of
credit with First Union  National Bank,  N.A.,  successor by merger on April 28,
1998 to CoreStates Bank, N.A., which expired on December 19, 1998.

Purpose and Use of the First Union Credit Facility

MLC intends to use the First Union Credit Facility  primarily for the short term
financing of inventory,  receivables,  and equipment  prior to sale or permanent
financing  provided  by  non-recourse  loans to be  obtained  from  third  party
lenders.  As of December 18, 1998, there was $12,000,000  outstanding  under the
facility.

Principal Terms of the First Union Credit Facility

Borrowings  under the First Union Credit  Facility will bear interest at LIBOR +
150 basis points, or, at the Company's option,  prime minus one-half percent. As
of December 18, 1998,  the balance on the First Union Credit  Facility was $12.0
million. The Credit Facility is secured by certain of the three company's assets
such as chattel paper (including leases), receivables, inventory, and equipment.
In addition, MLC Holdings, Inc. has entered into pledge agreements to pledge the
common  stock  of each of its  subsidiaries.  The  availability  of the  line is
subject to a borrowing base, which consists of inventory, receivables, purchased
assets,  and leases.  Availability  under the  revolving  lines of credit may be
limited  by the asset  value of  equipment  purchased  by MLC and may be further
limited by certain covenants and terms and conditions of the facilities.  In the
event  that MLC is  unable  to sell the  equipment  or  unable  to  finance  the
equipment on a permanent basis within a certain period of time, the availability
of credit under the lines could be diminished or eliminated. Furthermore, in the
event that receivables collateralizing the line are uncollectible,  MLC would be
responsible  for  repayment  of the  lines of  credit.  The First  Union  Credit
Facility  contains a number of covenants  binding on MLC requiring,  among other
things,  minimum tangible net worth, cash flow coverage ratios,  maximum debt to
equity ratio, maximum amount of guarantees of subsidiary  obligations,  mergers,
acquisitions,  and asset sales. The Credit Facility is a full recourse facility,
secured by first-priority blanket liens on all of MLC's assets.

The First Union Credit Facility expires on December 18, 1999. Other participants
in the First Union Credit Facility, each for $7,000,000,  are: Riggs Bank, N.A.,
Key Bank, N.A., Summit Bank, N.A., Bank Leumi USA, and Wachovia Bank., N.A.
