Operating Cash Flow
Cash flow from operations was $276 million ($0.46 per share)
during the second quarter. Last year's comparable results were $378
million ($0.62 per share) and included a number of special
items.
"We took a number of important steps during the quarter to
increase the amount of liquidity available for investment
opportunities, increased the stability of our capitalization, and
advanced many business initiatives," commented Bruce Flatt, Senior
Managing Partner of Brookfield Asset Management. "Our solid
operating results are due in large part to our high quality office
property portfolio, which is 95% occupied and allows us to generate
stable long-duration contracted rental income streams. In addition,
we have contracted approximately 80% of our expected renewable
power generation for the balance of 2009 and 2010."
Net Income
Net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $147 million
($0.24 per share) compared to $110 million ($0.17 per share) for
the same period in 2008.

Basis of Presentation
This news release and accompanying financial statements make
reference to cash flow from operations on a total and per share
basis. Cash flow from operations is defined as net income excluding
depreciation and amortization, interests of non-controlling
shareholders, future income taxes and other items as described as
such in the consolidated statements of income, and including
dividends and disposition gains that are not otherwise included in
net income. Brookfield uses cash flow from operations to assess its
operating results and the value of its business and believes that
many of its shareholders and analysts also find this measure of
value to them. The company provides the components of cash flow
from operations and a reconciliation between cash flow from
operations and net income with the supplemental information
accompanying this news release. Cash flow from operations is a
non-GAAP measure which does not have any standard meaning
prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar
measures presented by other companies.
Dividend Declaration
The Board of Directors declared a dividend of US$0.13 per Class
A Common Share, payable on November 30, 2009, to shareholders of
record as at the close of business on November 1, 2009. The Board
also declared all of the regular monthly and quarterly dividends on
its preferred shares.
Information on Brookfield Asset Management's declared share
dividends can be found on the company's web site under Investor
Centre/Stock and Dividend Information.
Additional Information
The Letter to Shareholders and the company's Supplemental
Information for the six months ended June 30, 2009 contain further
information on the company's strategy, operations and financial
results. Shareholders are encouraged to read these documents, which
are available on the company's web site.

Notes
The statements of net cash flow from operations above are
prepared on a basis that is consistent with Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Results ("MD&A") and differ from the
company's consolidated financial statements presented in its 2008
Annual Report, which are prepared in accordance with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management uses
cash flow from operations as a key measure to evaluate performance
and to determine the underlying value of its businesses. Readers
are encouraged to consider both measures in assessing Brookfield
Asset Management's results. Cash flow from operations is equal to
net income excluding "other items" as presented in the consolidated
statements of income on page 6 of this release.
Cash flow from operations in this statement represents the
operations of Brookfield Asset Management and Brookfield Properties
Corporation ("Brookfield Properties") on a combined basis and is
net of carrying charges associated with related liabilities and
cash flows attributable to non-controlling interests. Readers are
encouraged to refer to the company's supplemental information or
the MD&A contained in the 2008 Annual Report, both of which are
available at www.brookfield.com.

This news release contains a preliminary analysis of the
underlying value of the company and its common equity, based on the
procedures and assumptions that we expect to follow in preparing
our pro forma opening balance sheet for our adoption of
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Accordingly,
certain assets, such as appraisal surplus relating to inventories
and intangible assets, and the value of the company's asset
management business, have not been reflected. Please refer to our
Supplemental Information under "Performance Review," which is
available on the company's web site for further information.
This information has been prepared using the standards and
interpretations currently issued and expected to be effective at
the end of our first IFRS reporting period, which we intend to be
March 31, 2010. Consequently, in preparing this information,
assumptions have been made about the accounting policies expected
to be adopted. Certain accounting policies expected to be adopted
under IFRS may not be adopted and the application of such policies
to certain transactions or circumstances may be modified and as a
result underlying values are subject to change. Furthermore, the
underlying values have not been audited or subject to a review by
the company's auditor.
