Description of the Certificates and the Mortgage Pool

         As of the date hereof, Financial Asset Securities Corp. (the
"Registrant") has caused to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") pursuant to the Commission's Rule 424 a Prospectus Supplement
to its Prospectus, dated September 10, 2004 in connection with the Registrant's
issuance of a series of certificates, entitled First Franklin Mortgage Loan
Trust 2004-FFH3, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2004-FFH3 (the
"Certificates"), to be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement,
dated as of September 1, 2004, among the Registrant as depositor, Saxon Mortgage
Services, Inc. as servicer and Wells Fargo Bank , N.A. as trustee. The
Certificates designated as the Series 2004-FFH3 Certificates will represent in
the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the
"Trust Fund") consisting primarily of a pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of
conventional, one- to four-family, fixed rate and adjustable rate, first lien
mortgage loans having original terms to maturity up to 30 years (the "Mortgage
Loans").

Computational Materials

         Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. (the "Underwriter") has advised the
Registrant that it has furnished to certain prospective purchasers of
Certificates certain materials, herein referred to as "Computational Materials",
in written form, which Computational Materials are in the nature of data tables
and term sheet information relating to the Mortgage Loans or other assets of the
Trust Fund, the structure of the Certificates and terms of certain classes of
Certificates, and the hypothetical characteristics and hypothetical performance
of certain classes of Certificates under certain assumptions and scenarios.

         The Computational Materials have been provided by the Underwriter. The
information in the Computational Materials is preliminary and will be superseded
by the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Certificates and by any other
information subsequently filed with the Commission.

         The Computational Materials were prepared by the Underwriter at the
request of certain prospective investors. The Computational Materials may be
based on information that differs from the information set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement.
