Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         MLC  Holdings,  Inc.  ("MLC")  announced by press release on October 1,
1999 that it had  completed the  acquisition  of all of the stock CLG, Inc. from
Centura Bank, a wholly owned  subsidiary of Centura Banks,  Inc. The acquisition
added  approximately  400  customers  and $93 million of assets to MLC's leasing
customer  base in  metropolitan  markets such as such as Charlotte  and Raleigh,
N.C.,   Greenville,   S.C,  and  southern  Virginia.   In  connection  with  the
acquisition,  CLG,  Inc.  was  merged  into MLC  Group,  Inc.,  a  wholly  owned
subsidiary of MLC on October 1, 1999.

         Total consideration for the acquisition was $36.5 million,  paid by the
issuance of 392,990  shares of MLC common stock,  $1,099,574  of a  subordinated
note, and $31,500,000 of cash. In association with the transaction, MLC financed
a  portfolio  of leases on a  non-recourse  basis  with  Fleet  Business  Credit
Corporation,  a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Fleet  Bank,  which  raised  $27.8
Million,  and issued a second  subordinated  note in the amount of $1,965,000 to
Centura Bank.  The  subordinated  notes are bullets with a term of 7 years at an
interest rate of 11%, and can be prepaid at par in whole at anytime.

         MLC filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on September 14, 1999 announcing
the execution of the Stock  Purchase  Agreement  with Centura Bank and CLG, Inc.
which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to such  Current  Report on Form 8-K and which is
incorporated herein by reference.
