Item 8.01. Other Events.

Description of the Mortgage Pool

         Financial Asset Securities Corp. (the "Registrant") plans 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 to be designated as the
First Franklin Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-FFH3 Asset-Backed Certificates, 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, first lien
adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgage loans having original terms to maturity
up to 30 years (the "Mortgage Loans").

Collateral Term Sheets

         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 "Collateral Term Sheets",
in written form, which Collateral Term Sheets are in the nature of data tables
and term sheet information relating to the Mortgage Loans or other assets of the
Trust Fund.

         The Collateral Term Sheets have been provided by the Underwriter. The
information in the Collateral Term Sheets is preliminary and will be superseded
by a prospectus supplement relating to the Certificates and by any other
information subsequently filed with the Commission.

         The Collateral Term Sheets were prepared by the Underwriter at the
request of certain prospective investors. The Collateral Term Sheets may be
based on information that differs from the information set forth in the
prospectus supplement.
