Item 2.    Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
           ------------------------------------

Description of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans

                  ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp. registered issuance of up
to $9,000,000,000 principal amount of Asset Backed Certificates on a delayed or
continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1993, as
amended (the "Act"), by a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration File
No. 333-61863) (as amended, the "Registration Statement"). Pursuant to the
Registration Statement, ContiMortgage Home Equity Loan Trust 1999-1 (the
"Registrant" or the "Trust") will issue $650,000,000 in aggregate principal
amount of its Home Equity Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-1, Class A and
Class B (the "Offered Certificates"), on March 4, 1999. This Current Report on
Form 8-K is being filed to satisfy an undertaking to file copies of certain
agreements executed in connection with the issuance of the Offered Certificates,
the forms of which were filed as Exhibits to the Registration Statement.

                  Certain certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as of March
1, 1999, among ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., as the Depositor, (the
"Depositor"), ContiMortgage Corporation, as the Company, (the "Company"), as
Seller and Servicer (the "Servicer") and Manufacturers and Traders Trust
Company, in its capacity as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The certificates issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement consist of the following
classes: the Class A (the "Class A Certificates"), the Class B Certificates (the
"Class B Certificates"), the Class R Certificates (the "Class R Certificates"
and together with the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates, the
"Certificates"). The Certificates evidence, in the aggregate, 100% of the
undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Trust.

                  The assets of the Trust initially include two pools of
closed-end home equity loans (the "Home Equity Loans") secured by mortgages or
deeds of trust primarily on one-to-four family residential properties. Interest
distributions on the Class A Certificates are based on the Certificate Principal
Balance (or, in the case of the Class A-9IO Certificates, the Notional Principal
Amount) thereof and the applicable Pass-Through Rate thereof. The Pass-Through
Rates for the Class A Certificates are in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

                  As of the Cut-Off Date, the Home Equity Loans possessed the
characteristics described in the Prospectus dated September 17, 1998 and the
Prospectus Supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") dated February 24, 1999
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) of the Act on March 2, 1999.
