Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As of April 29, 2000, HLM Design, Inc. (the "Company") purchased all of the
issued and outstanding common stock of BL&P Engineers, Inc. ("BL&P") and related
goodwill for $1.46 million in cash, subordinated promissory notes bearing
interest at 7 percent in the aggregate amount of $2.0 million (the "Notes") and
50,000 shares of the Company's common stock having a value of $0.3 million to be
delivered on a delayed delivery basis (the "Stock"). This acquisition was
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 28, 2000 (the "Agreement")
and other contemporaneous agreements among the Company, BL&P and the BL&P
shareholder.

The Agreement provides for, among other things, the delivery to BL&P's former
stockholder of 30% of the number of shares of the Stock on each of April 29,
2002 and April 29, 2003 and 40% of the number of shares of stock on April 29,
2004. The Notes provide for payment of 30% of the principal amount on each of
October 29, 2001 and April 29, 2003 and 40% of the principal amount on April 29,
2004. Following the consummation of the Agreement, the Company and BL&P entered
into a Management and Services Agreement (the "MSA") whereby the Company will
manage all aspects of BL&P other than the provision of professional engineering
services.

The cash portion of the purchase price has been financed by the Company's credit
facility with IBJ Whitehall Business Credit Corporation dated as of February 7,
