DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

The following is a summary of recent developments since January 2009 in each of our principal areas of business and at the corporate level.

Renewable Power

2012 Activity - to date

We sold 13,144,500 limited partnership units of Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners L.P. (together with its related entities, “Brookfield Renewable”) through a secondary offering for gross proceeds of approximately $345 million. As a result of the sale, we now own an economic interest of approximately 68% in Brookfield Renewable on a fully-exchanged basis.

In January 2012, we acquired a 150 megawatt (MW) wind project in the Tehachapi region of California from a U.S. wind developer. This project is located in close proximity to our existing 102 MW wind farm and benefits from a 24-year power purchase agreement with Southern California Edison. We also acquired 22 MW of additional operating wind generation capacity from our existing partner, the Coram Energy Group, and an incremental 50% interest in our 102 MW wind farm in Tehachapi, California, bringing our interest in the wind farm to 100%.

Brookfield Renewable issued C$400 million principal amount of 4.79% medium term notes, Series 8, due February 7, 2022.

In March 2012, Brookfield Renewable and certain of its key holding companies entered into an additional credit facility to increase its committed unsecured revolving credit facility availability from $600 million to $900 million. As part of this transaction, the availability under Brookfield Renewable’s existing credit facility was reduced from $600 million to $450 million.

2011 Activity

In December 2011, we completed construction at our 99 MW Granite Reliable wind project in New Hampshire, the largest wind project in the state. The project entered commercial operation in February 2012.

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. – 2012 Annual Information Form 3

In late 2011, we completed construction of three other renewable power facilities totaling approximately 182 MW of capacity, including the 166 MW Comber Wind project in Ontario, a 10 MW hydro station in Minnesota, and a 6 MW hydro station in West Virginia. The completion of Comber, along with Gosfield and the Prince Wind facility in northern Ontario, brings our wind generating capacity in Ontario to more than 400 MW.

On November 28, 2011, we completed the strategic combination of the renewable power assets of Brookfield Renewable Power Inc. (“BRPI”) and Brookfield Renewable Power Fund (the “Fund”) to launch Brookfield Renewable, a Bermuda publicly-traded limited partnership focused on renewable power generation. On completion of the combination, public unitholders of the Fund received one non-voting limited partnership unit of Brookfield Renewable (“LP Unit”) in exchange for each trust unit of the Fund held, and the Fund was wound up. The LP Units were listed on the TSX on November 30, 2011.

Following the combination, we owned 73% of Brookfield Renewable on a fully-exchanged basis and the remaining 27% was held by the public. In connection with the combination, a subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable assumed all obligations relating to approximately C$1.1 billion of unsecured public corporate bonds issued by BRPI. As well, Brookfield Renewable Power Preferred Equity Inc., a former subsidiary of the Fund and the issuer of C$250 million of Class A Preference Shares, Series 1, is now a subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable.

We purchased a 30 MW hydro facility in Brazil for R$300 million. This facility is near our other operations in Mato Grosso State.

We received the necessary permits to construct a $200 million hydro project in western Canada.

In early 2011, we acquired, with certain institutional investors, a 50% interest in the 30 MW Malacha wind project located in northern California.

In May 2011, following obtaining a power purchase agreement (“PPA”), the notice to proceed for construction of the Coram wind project, a 102 MW facility located in California, was issued. Construction financing of $150 million for the project was obtained during the second quarter of 2011. The project is scheduled to reach commercial operation at the end of March 2012.

2010 Activity

We sold 17.2 million units of the Fund through two secondary offerings, taking our ownership at the time from 50.01% to approximately 34% on a fully-exchanged basis and generating gross proceeds of $341 million and a gain of $291 million.

We commissioned our 51 MW Gosfield Wind facility in Ontario. All power produced from the Gosfield Wind facility is being sold at a fixed price to the Ontario Power Authority under a 22-year PPA and will qualify for the Canadian Federal Government’s ecoEnergy Program for Renewable Energy. Commercial operations started under the project’s PPA on September 16, 2010.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, construction activities commenced on two of our hydroelectric facilities in Brazil. The two facilities are anticipated to be commissioned in 2013, have a total installed capacity of 48 MW and are capable of generating a combined 242.5 GWh of generation annually. Total construction costs are expected to be R$364.5 million.

In December 2010, we transferred to the Fund the 166 MW Comber wind project in southwestern Ontario, in close proximity to the Gosfield wind facility. The acquisition of the Comber wind project represented an investment by the Fund of C$567 million. The Comber Wind project benefits from two 20-year PPAs with the Ontario Power Authority pursuant to the Province of Ontario’s Feed-in Tariff program.

We secured contracts for 1,300 GWh of annual generation from new developments; arranged 6,700 GWh of financial contracts covering 2011 and 2012; and extended a power sale agreement covering 554 GWh per annum until 2016, increasing stability of revenues.

4 Brookfield Asset Management Inc. – 2012 Annual Information Form

2009 Activity

We transferred substantially all of our directly held Canadian operations to the Fund in two separate transactions. As part of the transfer, we agreed to purchase the uncontracted power generated by these facilities at predetermined prices in order to provide increased stability for the Fund’s operating results. The Fund in turn raised C$760 million in two equity issues, of which we purchased C$380 million to maintain our 50% ownership interest in the Fund at that time.

We entered into a 20-year power sales agreement with the Ontario Power Authority for the previously uncontracted output of our Ontario operations. The contract has a base price plus an additional amount in respect of on-peak production, both of which escalate annually on a predetermined basis. We are entitled to retain any ancillary revenues such as capacity payments and carbon credits. This agreement increased the amount of generation under long-term contract from 51% to approximately 70% and reduced our reliance on shorter-term contracts, consistent with our objectives.

We invested $120 million during 2009 to expand our operating base through a number of development initiatives including: commissioning of two facilities in Brazil with total capacity of 59 MW; continuing advancement of the development of the 50 MW Gosfield Wind facility in Ontario; the acquisition of our first wind development project in Tehachapi, California; and the execution of an agreement to acquire a 15 MW hydroelectric facility in Maine for $30 million.

We entered into an agreement to sell our Ontario electric distribution business to FortisOntario Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fortis Inc. for approximately $68 million.

Property

2012 Activity - to date

On January 12, 2012, General Growth Properties, Inc. (“GGP”) completed the spin-off of Rouse Properties Inc. (“Rouse”) through a special dividend of the common stock of Rouse to holders of GGP common stock. Following completion of the spin-off, we owned 37.5% of the common stock of Rouse. In the first quarter of 2012, following completion of the spin-off, Rouse distributed rights to its common stockholders entitling them to acquire 13,333,333 shares of common stock of Rouse at $15 per share. We agreed to purchase the shares of Rouse that we were entitled to purchase with our pro rata share of rights and to acquire any shares of Rouse that were not otherwise subscribed for in the rights offering. As a result, we currently hold 26,580,603 shares of Rouse representing 54% of the common stock of Rouse.

In the first quarter of 2012, we announced a joint venture with Hillwood, a Dallas/Fort Worth-based real estate investor and developer, to acquire, develop and manage industrial property, principally large warehouses, across the United States. We also announced the sale of Convergence Office Center, a 950,000 square foot, 10 building office/data centre property situated on 185 acres in Dallas (Lewisville), Texas, for $123 million. As part of the transaction, we retained approximately 12 acres of land for future retail development.

In January 2012, our subsidiary, Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (“Brookfield Office Properties”), issued C$200 principal amount of 4.30% senior notes due January 17, 2017.

2011 Activity

We leased approximately 11 million square feet of commercial office property during 2011, resulting in overall occupancy of 93% and a 7.3 year average term. Our average in place rent in the portfolio was $28.57 per square foot. We continue to manage our portfolios and tenant relationships on a proactive basis, which can lead to opportunities to re-lease space for increased yields while minimizing vacancies.

We acquired 113.3 million common shares of GGP from The Fairholme Fund (“Fairholme”) for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.7 billion, giving us and our consortium partners an approximate 38% equity interest in GGP. GGP is the second largest retail mall owner in the United States with a portfolio of more than 180 properties. We are entitled to appoint three directors to GGP’s board of directors and our Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chair of GGP’s board of directors. Pursuant to an agreement with Fairholme, we issued 27.5 million Class A Limited Voting Shares, representing a 4.5% equity interest in us, to Fairholme valued at $907 million and paid Fairholme $804 million in cash. Subject to certain exceptions, Fairholme may not transfer such Class A Limited Voting Shares without first providing us with written notice of its desire to make such a transfer and allowing us to purchase

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. – 2012 Annual Information Form 5

the Class A Limited Voting Shares subject to the notice on the terms contained in the notice. In addition, Fairholme agreed to certain restrictions on the acquisition of additional Class A Limited Voting Shares.

We announced a joint venture with Peninsula Land Ltd. to launch a $100 million real estate fund early in 2012. We will have an equal stake with Peninsula Land Ltd. in the venture, and will jointly evaluate and manage investments targeting the development of residential and commercial assets, primarily in Tier I cities in India.

We recapitalized an office property fund for $175 million by acquiring bank debt and converting it to equity. The fund owns a five million square foot portfolio of office properties on the west coast of the U.S., predominantly in California.

We sold three office properties in 2011: 1400 Smith Street in Houston, Newport Tower in New Jersey and 53 State Street in Boston. These sales raised net equity proceeds of $555 million. These proceeds were reinvested in seven separate investments: a 75% interest in 450 West 33rd Street in New York, a 50% interest in Bankwest Tower in Perth, a 50% interest in Southern Cross West in Melbourne, a 100% interest in Three Bethesda Metro Center in Bethesda, a 49%-interest in Four World Financial Center in New York (consolidating our ownership in this property to 100%), a 51% interest in 1801 California St. in Denver, and the acquisition of a further 21% interest in our U.S. Office Fund.

In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where we have long-standing construction relationships, we partnered with the Investment Corporation of Dubai, a leading government agency, to establish a $1 billion platform to make opportunistic real estate investments in the Middle East. We committed $100 million to this initiative, as did our partner.

We acquired a $1 billion portfolio of defaulted property loans in New Zealand from a European bank. We also acquired a defaulted loan backed by 40% of an Australian public company which owns a prime office development site in Sydney, Australia.

We refinanced or secured $4.5 billion of new financing on our office properties portfolio during 2011, including the recapitalization of our U.S. Office Fund and the financing of Bay Adelaide Centre West in Toronto which was completed at a 4.4% interest rate. This $4.5 billion breaks down as $1.5 billion in the U.S. Office Fund; $900 million in North America; $900 million in Australia; and acquisition-related financings of $1.2 billion. The average rate on these financings was 5.3%.

Brookfield Office Properties also issued $250 million 5.1% rate-reset preferred shares.

We traded 33% interests in two malls in Arizona for $75 million of cash and the acquisition of freehold interests in six big box anchor locations in our malls that were owned by another company. We also sold three non-core retail centers in the United States.

We foreclosed, through a defaulted mezzanine loan, on a hotel and casino containing 1,500 guestrooms located in Las Vegas, Nevada. We intend to reposition the property over the next few years.

We advanced numerous development activities, including our premier City Square office development in Perth, Australia which is 72% pre-leased to BHP Billiton and scheduled for completion in 2012.

In our opportunistic investment funds, we acquired a number of multi-family properties in the United States, bringing the total number of multi-family units purchased over the past three years to 12,000 units.

2010 Activity

We leased 7.2 million square feet of commercial office property during 2010, almost three times the amount that was rolling over, maintaining our lease profile at 95% occupancy with a 7.2 year average term. The average rent in the portfolio increased to $28 per square foot, which continued to be approximately 11% below average market rents.

We signed a definitive agreement with the predecessor of GGP (“General Growth”) for a proposed recapitalization of General Growth. We, along with our consortium partners, agreed to invest $2.625 billion in equity to fund General Growth’s recapitalization. On November 9, 2010, General Growth emerged from Chapter 11 protection and was split into two companies, new General Growth Properties, Inc., which is GGP, and The Howard Hughes Corporation. Upon completion of the recapitalization, we and our consortium partners owned approximately 27% of GGP and approximately 14% of The Howard Hughes Corporation on a fully diluted basis.

We foreclosed on a 542,000 square foot office property in San Francisco through a defaulted mortgage loan.

We jointly acquired a prime redevelopment site in the city of London. We also completed the development of Deloitte Centre in Auckland, New Zealand.

2009 Activity

We leased 4.6 million square feet of commercial office property in our core North American portfolio during 2009 at an average net rent of $21.41 per square foot, representing a 24% premium over the expiring leases, leading to increased in-place rent.

Within our commercial office development activities, we concentrated our efforts and capital on properties that were well leased and well advanced in the development process. We completed seven properties in Australia, United States and Canada at a total cost of $755 million. Overall, we added 2.1 million square feet to our portfolio and the occupancy of these properties upon completion totaled 92%.

We opened Bay Adelaide Centre, a new, 51-story, 1.2 million square foot office tower in downtown Toronto’s financial core, and the first development built to achieve a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Standard in Toronto’s financial district.

We increased our ownership of a high quality office property portfolio in Australia through the restructuring of A$520 million of debt issued by a fund in which we acquired management rights in 2007. Following a breach of the fund’s loan to value covenants in June 2009, we were able to negotiate new terms with the lenders and completed an A$50 million rights offering which resulted in an increase of our interest to 68%. This fund owns four high quality properties in Sydney and Melbourne totaling 1.9 million square feet of office space that is 99% leased.

We announced the formation of a $5 billion consortium (the “Consortium”) dedicated to investing in under-performing real estate. The Consortium invests in equity and debt in under-valued real estate companies or real estate portfolios where value can be created for stakeholders in a variety of ways, including financial and operational restructuring, strategic direction or sponsorship, portfolio repositioning, redevelopment or other active asset management. Investments in the Consortium are targeted at corporate property restructurings with a minimum $500 million equity commitment, and pursued on a global basis, with a focus on North America, Europe and Australasia.

The aggregate gross proceeds to Brookfield Infrastructure of the public offering and the concurrent private placement were approximately $685 million.

We signed five new customer contracts which will underwrite our rail expansion plans in western Australia. These contracts support our investment of over $600 million to upgrade our rail tracks, which is expected to be completed by 2014.

We received regulatory approval and began construction of a Texas transmission project at a total cost of approximately $750 million. We were awarded the contract to construct this project in 2009, together with our joint venture partner. We anticipate completion of the network in 2013, at which time the joint venture will be a licensed utility in Texas.

We advanced our efforts in securing the lands and regulatory approval required to expand the annual capacity of our coal terminal in Australia from 85 million tonnes to close to 160 million tonnes. Contract negotiations are taking place with a number of global mining companies to support a construction start in 2013 on this $5 billion project.

We continue to expand our northern UK port to accommodate container traffic growth.

2010 Activity

We closed a $2.7 billion Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, which focuses on investing in infrastructure assets primarily in North and South America. We manage the fund and have committed 25% of the total capital commitments, or approximately $660 million. Investors in the fund include sovereign wealth funds and public and private pension plans from North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Our capital commitment to the fund is primarily funded by Brookfield Infrastructure.

Brookfield Infrastructure closed its merger with Prime Infrastructure (“Prime”). Pursuant to the merger, approximately 50.7 million limited partnership units of Brookfield Infrastructure were issued. Following these transactions, there were approximately 157.4 million Brookfield Infrastructure units outstanding and we held an approximate 30% interest in Brookfield Infrastructure.

We received regulatory approval to increase the rate base of our Australian coal terminal, further enhancing the cash flows in the business, and confirmed new agreements for our North American natural gas pipeline operations, providing greater certainty for future cash flows.

We invested $0.4 billion into expansion projects during 2010 and advanced six significant capital projects in our Western Australian rail business to upgrade and expand the capacity of our network by 50% and deploy a further $600 million of capital at favorable returns.

8 Brookfield Asset Management Inc. – 2012 Annual Information Form

We completed $2.2 billion of financings on our infrastructure assets. This included the renewal of a revolving corporate credit facility with a syndicate of global financial institutions for a three year term.

2009 Activity

We acquired an $8 billion portfolio of global infrastructure assets consisting primarily of utility and transport and energy businesses which significantly expanded the breadth of our operations and assets under management in this segment. The acquisition was completed by Brookfield Infrastructure, and consisted of a 40% interest in the then restructured Australian listed entity, Prime, that owned most of the acquired portfolio, as well as a direct 49% interest in a major Australian coal terminal and a 100% interest in a UK port business. Prime owned a diverse portfolio of transportation and utility assets located in Australia, the U.S., the U.K., continental Europe, New Zealand and China. We funded the acquisition with $1.8 billion of equity, of which $0.8 billion was funded by other shareholders of Prime, $0.6 billion was funded by other investors in Brookfield Infrastructure, and $0.4 billion was funded by us in the form of additional investment in Brookfield Infrastructure. The acquired businesses are largely regulated, with the effect that approximately 80% of our infrastructure operating cash flows were generated from businesses that are regulated or underpinned by long-term contracts.

We established three unlisted infrastructure funds during 2009, which included an approximate $400 million fund focused on Colombia, a $440 million fund focused on Peru and a larger fund focused more broadly on the Americas.

BUSINESS OF THE CORPORATION

Our Business

We are a global alternative asset manager with approximately $150 billion in assets under management. For more than 100 years we have owned and operated assets on behalf of shareholders and clients with a focus on property, renewable power, infrastructure and private equity. Our business model is simple: utilize our global reach to identify and acquire high quality real assets at favourable valuations, finance them on a long-term low-risk basis, and enhance the cash flows and values of these assets through our leading operating platforms to earn reliable, attractive long-term total returns for the benefit of our partners and ourselves. We have a range of public and private investment products and services which leverage our expertise and experience and provide us with a distinct competitive advantage in the markets where we operate. We are co-listed on the NYSE, the TSX and the NYSE Euronext.

As an asset manager, we create value for shareholders in the following ways:

• We offer attractive investment opportunities to our clients that will, in turn, enable us to earn base management fees based on the amount of capital that we manage for them, and additional returns such as incentive distributions and carried interests based on our performance. Accordingly, we create value by increasing the amount of capital under management and by achieving strong investment performance that leads to increased cash flows and intrinsic value;

• We also invest significant amounts of our own capital, alongside our clients in the same assets. This creates a strong alignment of interest and enables us to create value by directly participating in the cash flows generated by these assets and increases in their values, in addition to the performance returns that we earn as the manager;

• Our operating capabilities enable us to increase the value of the assets within our businesses, and the cash flows they produce, through our operating expertise, development capabilities and effective financing. We believe that this is one of our most important competitive advantages as an asset manager; and

• Finally, as an investor and capital allocator with a value investing culture and expertise in recapitalizations and operational turnarounds, we strive to invest at attractive valuations, particularly in situations that create opportunities for superior valuation gains and cash flow returns.

Principal Business Activities

We organize our business into a number of operating platforms that are responsible for managing the assets in each of our principal segments as set forth below. As an asset manager, we have established a number of listed and unlisted entities through which our clients can invest in these assets. These consist of unlisted institutional funds, listed entities that are externally managed by us, and listed internally managed entities in which we own major interests.

Renewable Power

We have one of the largest privately owned hydroelectric power generating portfolios in the world, located on river systems in the U.S., Canada and Brazil. We have chosen to focus on hydroelectric generation because of the long-life, exceptional reliability and low operating costs of these facilities. As at December 31, 2011, we owned and managed 170 hydroelectric generating stations which generate on average approximately 15,500 GWh of electricity each year. As at December 31, 2011, we also owned and operated three wind farms as well as two natural gas-fired plants which generate an additional approximate 1,000 GWh each year. Overall, our assets have approximately 5,000 MW of generating capacity.

12 Brookfield Asset Management Inc. – 2012 Annual Information Form

Property

We own and manage one of the highest quality commercial office portfolios in the world located in major financial, energy and government centre cities in North America, Australasia and Europe as well as 213 retail shopping centres in North America, Brazil and Australia. Our strategy is to concentrate our operations in high growth, supply-constrained markets that have high barriers to entry and attractive tenant bases. Our goal is to maintain a meaningful presence in each of our primary markets in order to maximize the value of our tenant relationships. Our portfolio consists of our approximately 300 million square feet of office, retail and related development as well as opportunity and finance investments.

We also maintain office development capabilities and have a substantial pipeline of attractive opportunities. We conduct a wide range of opportunistic investment strategies focused on income producing properties such as multi-residential, office, student accommodations and industrial and invest in these assets directly and through debt securities. These activities are conducted through a series of instrumental funds.

Infrastructure

During 2010, we completed a transaction that significantly, expanded the scale of our infrastructure operations. Our infrastructure group now manages approximately $19 billion of total assets in the following sectors: transportation (ports, rail lines); utilities (electrical and natural gas transmission); and timberlands. Our strategy is to acquire and operate high quality long-life assets that generate stable cash flows, require minimal capital expenditures and, by virtue of barriers to entry or other characteristics, tend to appreciate in value over time.

Private Equity

Our private equity activities consist of our special situations operations as well as our residential operations and agricultural fund. We conduct a wide range of restructuring and bridge lending activities through investment funds and we also hold a number of investments that are mostly temporary in nature and will be sold once value is maximized or integrated into our core operations or new fund strategies. We have established major residential development businesses in North America and Brazil. We also develop agricultural investments in Brazil.

Asset Management and Other Services

We provide construction services in Australia, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and recently expanded into North America. Our property services business include the second largest global corporate relocation business and the second largest residential brokerage business in North America.

Operating Capabilities

We believe that we have the necessary capabilities to execute our business strategy and achieve our performance targets. We focus on disciplined and active hands-on management of assets and capital. We strive for excellence and quality in each of our core operating platforms in the belief that this approach will produce superior returns over the long term.

We endeavour to operate as a value investor and follow a disciplined investment approach. Our management team has considerable capabilities in investment analysis, mergers and acquisitions, divestitures and corporate finance that enable us to acquire assets for value, finance them effectively, and to ultimately realize value created during our ownership.

Our operating platforms and depth of experience in managing these assets differentiate us from some competitors that have shorter investment horizons and more of a financial focus. These high quality operating platforms have been established over many years and are fully integrated into our organization. This has required considerable investment in building the management teams and the necessary resources; however, we believe these platforms enable us to optimize the cash returns and values of the assets that we manage.

We have established strong relationships with a number of leading institutions and believe we are well positioned to continue increasing capital managed for others on a fee bearing basis. We are investing in our distribution capabilities to encourage existing and potential clients to commit capital to our investment strategies. We are devoting expanded resources to these activities, and our efforts continue to be assisted by favourable investment performance.

The diversification within our operations allows us to offer a broad range of products and investment strategies to our clients. We believe this is of considerable value to investors with large amounts of capital to deploy. In addition, our commitment to transparency and governance as a well-capitalized public company listed on major North American and European stock exchanges positions us as a desirable long-term partner for our clients.

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. – 2012 Annual Information Form 13

Finally, our commitment to invest a meaningful amount of capital alongside our investors creates a strong alignment of interest between us and our investment partners and also differentiates us from many of our competitors. Accordingly, our strategy calls for us to maintain considerable surplus financial resources. This capital also supports our ability to commit to investment opportunities on our own account when appropriate or in anticipation of future syndications.

Financing Strategy

The strength of our capital structure and the liquidity that we maintain enable us to achieve a low cost of capital for our shareholders and at the same time provide us with the flexibility to react quickly to potential investment opportunities and adverse changes in economic circumstances.

The following are the key elements of our capital strategy:

• Co-invest with partners through listed and unlisted funds to broaden sources of equity capital;

• Match fund our long-life assets with long-duration mortgage financings with a diversified maturity schedule;

• Provide recourse only to the specific assets being financed, with limited cross collateralization or parental guarantees;

• Limit borrowings to investment-grade levels based on anticipated performance throughout a business cycle;

• Structure our affairs to facilitate access to a broad range of capital and liquidity at multiple levels of the organization; and

• Maintain access to a diverse range of financing markets.

Our strategy is to have two flagship entities within each platform, one listed and one unlisted, through which capital will be invested by us and our partners. For example, within our infrastructure operations, we have established Brookfield Infrastructure, a publicly listed entity that has a market capitalization, on a fully-exchanged basis, of approximately $5 billion, and the Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, a private investment partnership with $2.7 billion of committed capital from institutional investors. These two entities are supplemented from time-to-time with additional listed and unlisted niche entities, such as our Latin American country-specific funds and timber funds. This provides us with access to both listed and private equity capital. In 2011, we established Brookfield Renewable as a publicly listed pure-play renewable energy company with a market capitalization, on a fully-exchanged basis, of approximately $7 billion.

Most of our borrowings are in the form of long-term, property-specific financings such as mortgages or project financings secured only by the specific assets. The diversification of our maturity schedule means that financing requirements in any given year are manageable. Limiting recourse to specific assets or business units ensures that weak performance by one asset or business unit does not compromise our ability to finance the balance of the operations.

Our focus on structuring financings with investment-grade characteristics ensures that debt levels on any particular asset or business can typically be maintained throughout a business cycle, and also enables us to limit covenants and other performance requirements, thereby reducing the risk of early payment requirements or restrictions on the distribution of cash from the assets being financed. Furthermore, our ability to finance at the parent, operating unit, and asset level on a private or public basis means that we are not overly dependent on any particular segment of the capital markets or the performance of any particular unit.

To enable us to react to attractive investment opportunities and deal with contingencies when they arise, we typically maintain a high level of liquidity at the corporate level and within our key operating platforms. Our primary sources of liquidity, which we refer to as “core liquidity,” consist of our cash and financial assets, net of deposits and other associated liabilities, and undrawn committed credit facilities.

We generate substantial liquidity within our operations on an ongoing basis through our operating cash flow, as well as from the turnover of assets with shorter investment horizons and periodic monetization of our longer-dated assets through sales, refinancings or co-investor participations. Accordingly, we believe we have the necessary liquidity to manage our financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities to invest capital at attractive returns.

Employees

As at December 31, 2011, we employed over 23,000 people world-wide.

For information about environmental policies and risk factors related to the Corporation and our business, reference is made to the sections entitled “Business Environment and Risks” on pages 80 to 89 and “Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility” on pages 150 to 151 of our 2011 Annual Report (the “Annual Report”) which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. A copy of the Annual Report can also be obtained from us and is available on our website www.brookfield.com at Investors/Financial Reports.

SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES

Renewable Power

We have health and safety and environmental policies in place in connection with our power generating and transmission operations that require all employees, contractors, agents and others involved to comply with established safety, health and environmental practices. We strive to achieve excellence in safety performance and to be recognized as an industry leader in accident prevention. Our overall objective is to incur zero high risk safety incidents and zero lost time injuries. Our environmental practices are based on fundamental values of accountability, partnership and open communication. We endeavour to manage natural resources in ways that ensure sustainable development. Our approach protects and enhances the ecosystems and communities affected by our activities. We are committed to the environmentally responsible management of our assets. We pay particular attention to dam safety. Inspections and independent evaluations of our dams and other hydroelectric structures are periodically conducted, and repairs and upgrades are made to any elements or design features as may be required from time to time. Public safety is also one of our primary concerns. We endeavour to keep the lands and waterways we use for our operations safe for the general public. We also conduct information sessions for the general public to educate them of the dangers of using land and waterways of hydroelectric generating facilities for recreational purposes.

Property

As a leader in the commercial real estate industry, we are committed to continuous improvement of our environmental performance. Sustainability is a priority for our tenants, and, as landlords, our goal is to exceed their expectations. We know that shrinking the environmental footprint in our buildings, and cutting back on energy, water and waste will have a positive effect on the financial performance of our assets.

We intend to build all future office developments to a LEED Gold standard or local equivalent. The LEED Green Building Rating System is an internationally accepted scorecard for sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality. Within our global office portfolio:

• we currently have 20 LEED certifications;

• 80% of our U.S. office properties have earned the EPA’s ENERGY STAR award and 100% of our Canadian office properties have achieved BOMA BESt (Building Environmental Standards); and

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. – 2012 Annual Information Form 15

• 80% of our Australian office properties have received a 4-Star rating or higher under NABERS.

We continue to expand and enhance the features, systems and programs that foster energy efficiency in our existing office buildings, as well as the health and safety of all of our tenants, employees and the community. We perform regular, comprehensive environmental reviews and upgrades at our office properties and endeavor to maximize energy efficiency at every office building.

Our goal is to be responsible stewards of our resources, and good citizens in all that we do. We are an active contributor in the communities where we conduct business. We are proud of the commitment we have made to corporate social responsibility. The initiatives we undertake and the investments we make in building our partnership are guided by our core set of values around sustainable development, as we create a culture and organization that can be successful today and in the future.

Infrastructure

Our infrastructure business operates within well defined legislative and regulatory frameworks related to environmental protection, climate change and carbon emissions in many jurisdictions on four continents. Throughout our operations, we strive to meet and exceed environmental standards through environmental management plans which assist us in reducing our environmental footprint and monitoring our performance over time. Our operations work proactively within their local communities and with other key stakeholders to positively contribute to the communities through sponsorship activities and local employment opportunities. A number of our infrastructure operations are ISO 14001 certified and others are currently working towards certification. As the owner and operator of Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal (“DBCT”) in Australia, one of the world’s largest coal export terminals, we operate an established Integrated Management System alongside our third-party, customer-owned operator. DBCT has an Environmental Action Team focused on minimizing the impacts on the local marine and terrestrial ecosystems and implementing sustainability practices for water usage, recycling, noise reduction and other programs and initiatives. In addition, Brookfield Rail in Australia has a robust environmental management plan to oversee its key environmental risks, including flora and fauna, soil and water contamination, fire control, noise pollution and dangerous and hazardous cargoes. Our timberlands operations, in North and South America, provide another example of our approach to environmental protection and policies. Our timberlands are managed for long-term timber production of both solid wood and pulp and paper products and the sustainability of the operations, which is independently audited under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). We are fully regulated by federal, state and/or provincial laws, which in many cases are more rigorous than those required under various forest practice certification schemes. The standards under which our timberlands are certified all meet the standards defined by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (“PEFC”), a globally recognized forest certification system. It is our intention that all timberlands owned and/or managed by us will become certified by PEFC, providing assurance to purchasers of wood and paper products that they are supporting the sustainable management of forests. We view these policies and procedures as standard best operating practices and we treat all related costs as direct business costs within each operation.

Mr. Lawson served as a director of American Resource Corporation Limited (“ARCL”) until April 2005.

ARCL corrected the filing deficiencies that led to the management cease trade orders and the relevant provincial securities regulatory authorities fully revoked the management cease trade orders in June 2008.

Mr. Pollock was a director of Fraser until February 2011. Fraser voluntarily applied for and obtained an order for creditor protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) in June 2009, and on February 10, 2011, the Ontario court sanctioned an amended plan of compromise and arrangement under that statute that provided for, among other things, the sale of most of Fraser’s remaining property and the making of distributions to Fraser’s creditors.

Credit ratings are important to the Corporation’s borrowing costs and ability to raise funds. A rating’s downgrade could potentially have adverse consequences by reducing the Corporation’s access to capital markets and increasing its borrowing costs. The terms of our various credit agreements and other financing documents require us to comply with a number of customary financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios, insurance coverage and, in limited circumstances, rating levels. These covenants may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness even if we had satisfied our payment obligations.

Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of the credit quality of an issue of securities. Each of the Corporation’s debt and preferred securities are rated by DBRS Limited (“DBRS”) and by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”), and its senior notes and debentures are also rated by Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”). The following is a brief description of each rating agency’s rating schedule.

DBRS rates commercial paper, long-term debt and preferred shares with ratings of “R-1”, “AAA” and “Pfd-1”, respectively, which represent the highest ratings, to “R-5”, “C” and “Pfd-5”, which represent the lowest, with “D” for issues in payment default. To show relative rankings within these rating categories, DBRS may modify them by the addition of “(high)” or “(low)”.

S&P rates commercial paper, long-term credit and preferred shares with ratings of “A-1”, “AAA” and “P-1”, respectively, which represent the highest ratings, to “C”, which represents the lowest, with “D” for issues in payment default. To show relative rankings within these rating categories, S&P may modify them by the addition of a plus “(+)” or minus “(-)”. DBRS and S&P further modify their ratings by indicating the stability of an assigned rating with terms such as “stable,” “positive” and “negative”.

Moody’s rates long-term obligations with ratings of “Aaa”, which represents the highest rating, to “C”, which represents the lowest. To show relative rankings within these rating categories, Moody’s may modify them by the addition of a “1”, “2” or “3” to indicate relatively higher, middle or lower ranking.

Fitch rates long-term obligations with ratings of “AAA”, which represents the highest rating, to “C”, which represents the lowest. To show relative rankings within these categories, Fitch may modify them by the addition of a plus “(+)” or minus “(-)”. Fitch modifies its ratings by indicating the outlook of an assigned rating with terms such as “stable”, “positive” and “negative”.

A definition and description of the categories of the credit ratings described above which have been assigned to the Corporation’s debt and preferred securities are publicly available from the website of each of the individual ratings agencies.

The ratings discussed above for the Corporation’s debt and preferred securities are not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sell the Corporation’s debt and preferred securities and do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. There can be no assurance that the ratings shown above will remain in effect for any given period of time or that the ratings will not be revised or withdrawn in their entirety by any or all of DBRS, S&P, Moody’s or Fitch in the future if, in their judgment, circumstances so warrant.

The investment ratings of our publicly traded subsidiaries are presented in the respective Annual Information Forms of these subsidiaries, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The following table provides information about the aggregate fees billed to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for professional services rendered by Deloitte & Touche during 2011 and 2010:

	2011						2010
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 (MILLIONS)	Brookfield		Subsidiaries of Brookfield		Total		Brookfield		Subsidiaries of Brookfield		Total

Total	$	3.8	$	34.9	$	38.7	$	4.0	$	33.4	$	37.4

Audit Fees. Audit fees include fees for services that would normally be provided by the external auditor in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including fees for services necessary to perform an audit or review in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. This category also includes services that generally only the external auditor reasonably can provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, attest services, consents and assistance with and review of certain documents filed with securities regulatory authorities.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees are for assurance and related services, such as due diligence services, that traditionally are performed by the external auditor. More specifically, these services include, among others: employee benefit plan audits, due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, accounting consultations and audits in connection with acquisitions, attest services that are not required by statute or regulation, and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

Tax Fees. Tax fees are principally for assistance in tax return preparation and tax advisory services.

All Other Fees. All other fees include fees for translation, litigation and advisory support services.

24 Brookfield Asset Management Inc. – 2012 Annual Information Form

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee of the Corporation’s board of directors has adopted a policy regarding the provision of services by its external auditor, currently Deloitte & Touche. This policy requires audit committee pre-approval of all permitted audit, audit-related and non-audit services. It also specifies a number of services that may not be provided by the Corporation’s external auditor, including all services prohibited by law from being provided by the external auditor.

Under the policy, all permitted services to be provided by the external auditor must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee or a designated member of the Audit Committee. Any pre-approval granted by a designated member must be reported to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The pre-approval of services may be given at any time up to a year before commencement of the specified service.

The Audit Committee may delegate its pre-approval authority and responsibility to the audit committee of any consolidated subsidiary of the Corporation in respect of services to be provided to such subsidiary, provided that such subsidiary’s audit committee members are independent from the Corporation and its management, such subsidiary adopts pre-approval policies and procedures that are substantially similar to those of the Corporation, and such subsidiary’s audit committee makes certain reports to the Corporation’s audit committee.

Subject to the above mentioned policy, the Audit Committee may establish fee thresholds for a group of pre-approved services, provided that such fees will, when combined with all such fees that have not been specifically approved by the Audit Committee, aggregate less than 25% of the anticipated audit fees for the Corporation and its subsidiaries for the same year. In such cases, the description of services must be sufficiently detailed as to the particular services to be provided to ensure that (i) the Audit Committee knows precisely what services it is being asked to pre-approve and (ii) the Audit Committee’s responsibilities are not delegated to management. All such services will be ratified at the next scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee, and upon such ratification will no longer be included in determining the aggregate fees covered by this limited approval.

None of the fees reported in this Annual Information Form under the heading “Principal Accountant Fees and Services” were subject to the de minimis exception from Audit Committee pre-approval provided by Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
