STATEMENT UNDER OATH REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT
FILINGS
I, J. Bruce Flatt, state and attest that:
(1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
reports of Brascan Corporation, and, except as corrected or
supplemented in a subsequent covered report:
- no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
the case of a report on Form 6-K, as of the date on which it
was filed); and
- no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
of a report on Form 6-K, as of the date on which it was
filed).
(2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's
audit committee.
(3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":
- Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2001 of Brascan
Corporation on Form 40-F;
- all reports on Form 6-K of Brascan Corporation filed with the
Commission subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report
identified above; and
- any amendments to any of the foregoing.
