Item 5. Other Events.
------------
On or about January 30, 2004, the Registrant will cause the
issuance and sale of approximately $487,198,000 initial principal
amount of Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities Trust 2004-HE1,
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2004-HE1 (the "Certificates")
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of January 1,
2004, among Bear Stearns Asset Backed Securities, Inc., as depositor,
EMC Mortgage Corporation, as seller and master servicer and LaSalle
Bank National Association, as trustee.
In connection with the sale and the Series 2004-HE1, Class
I-A-1, Class I-A-2, Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class III-A, Class M-1,
Class M-2, Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, and Class M-6 Certificates
(the "Underwritten Certificates"), the Registrant has been advised by
Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC (together
"the Underwriters"), that the Underwriters have furnished to
prospective investors certain computational materials (the
"Computational Materials") with respect to the Underwritten
Certificates following the effective date of Registration Statement No.
333-91334, which computational Materials are being filed as exhibits to
this report.
The Computational Materials have been provided by the
Underwriters. The information in the Computational Materials is
preliminary and may be superseded by the Prospectus Supplement relating
to the Certificates and by any other information subsequently filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Computational Materials were prepared by the Underwriters
at the request of certain prospective investors, based on assumptions
provided by, and satisfying the special requirements of, such
prospective investors. The Computational Materials may be based on
assumptions that differ from the assumptions set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement. The Computational Materials may not include, and
do not purport to include, information based on assumptions
representing a complete set of possible scenarios. Accordingly, the
Computational Materials may not be relevant to or appropriate for
investors other than those specifically requesting them.
In addition, the actual characteristics and performance of the
mortgage loans underlying the Underwritten Certificates (the "Mortgage
Loans") may differ from the assumptions used in the Computational
Materials, which are hypothetical in nature and which were provided to
certain investors only to give a general sense of how the yield,
average life, duration, expected maturity, interest rate sensitivity
and cash flow characteristics of the Underwritten Certificates might
vary under varying prepayment and other scenarios. Any difference
between such assumptions and the actual characteristics and performance
of the Mortgage Loans will affect the actual yield, average life,
duration, expected maturity, interest rate sensitivity and cash flow
characteristics of the Underwritten Certificates.
