REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A.

1.     
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and changes in financial position, corresponding to the year ended on those dates. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements.
 
2.     
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Brazil, which comprised: (a) the planning of our work, taking into consideration the materiality of balances, the volume of transactions and the accounting and internal control systems of the Company, (b) the examination, on a test basis, of the documentary evidence and accounting records supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, and (c) an assessment of the accounting practices used and significant estimates made by management, as well as an evaluation of the overall financial statement presentation.
 
3.     
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and its results of its operations, changes in its shareholders’ equity and changes in its financial position for the year ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.
 
4.     
We conducted our audits with the purpose of issuing an opinion about the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph. The consolidated social balance sheet and the statements of cash flow and of the value added of the parent company and consolidated prepared according to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil are being presented to provide additional information on the Company, although they are not required as part of the financial statements. These statements have been submitted to audit procedures described in the second paragraph and, in our opinion, are fairly presented in all material aspects concerning the financial statements taken as a whole.
 
5.     
The accounting practices adopted in Brazil differ in some significant aspects from the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The information relative to the nature and effect of such differences are presented in the Note 2 to the financial statements.

Financial investments with maturity not over 90 days from the balance sheet date are classified as Cash and cash equivalents and shown by the investment amount, plus remunerations proportionally contracted and recognized up to the balance sheet date. Short-term investments of fixed income, variable income, public securities and certificates of bank deposits (CDB) refer to financial investments redeemable in a term over 90 days from the balance sheet date and are represented by securities acquired with the purpose of being frequently and actively traded, classified as securities available for sales. Such investments are evaluated and accounted by the market value determined based on quotations obtained in an active market, deriving from transactions made between independent parties. If there is no active market for the investment, estimatives are made based on negotiation of another financial instrument of similar nature, maturity and risk or by mathematical-statistical pricing models. The realized and unrealized gains and losses referring to the short-term investments are recognized in the statement of income.

c) Provision for doubtful accounts

Provision for doubtful accounts is set up in an amount sufficient to cover estimated losses by means of historical analysis of overdue amounts in the realization of accounts receivable considering the risks related to the nature of the credits.

d) Inventories

Inventories are comprised of consumption material, parts and maintenance material. They include imports in progress and are presented at acquisition cost, reduced by obsolescence provisions, when applicable, not to exceed market value.

The financial statements of Gol Finance, GAC Inc and SKY Finance, are converted into Brazilian Reais considering that their functional currency is the Real and that certain non-monetary items are maintained at historical cost in foreign currency and are converted using the foreign exchange rate at the beginning of the transaction. Monetary items are converted based on historical foreign exchange rate in force at the balance sheet date with the corresponding foreign exchange variations recognized as financial income.

In the consolidated financial statements, goodwill arising from the acquisition of investments, based on expected future profitability, will be amortized according to the profit realization forecast, within up to ten years from the date on which the benefits start to be generated.

j) Mileage program

VRG offers a mileage program denominated Smiles which consists of the conversion of miles accumulated by passengers when flying VRG and using the services and products contracted with non-airline companies in the financial, oil, hotels and insurance segments into awards and tickets. Obligations related to miles issued, accumulated and not redeemed are recognized through the set-up of a provision registered against commercial expenses using the estimated total tickets to be granted and valued based on incremental cost which consists of additional cost by passagers on board. The revenue arising from miles sold to partners under Smiles mileage program are recorded as other income when sold.

l) Operating leases

Monthly contractual liabilities resulting from aircraft operating leasing contracts without a purchase option clause are charged to P&L by the time they are incurred. Additionally, the lease contracts establish the conditions in which the aircraft will have to be returned at the end of the leasing period. Depending on the aircraft and its parts utilization and maintenance conditions, at the end of the agreements, the Company may be asked to make additional payments to the lessor regarding such contractual obligations. The Company accrues those costs, if any, on the date the payments can be estimated as highly probable.

r) Consolidation

The consolidation process of balance sheetand statement of incomet accounts adds up horizontally the balances of asset, liability, revenue and expense accounts, according to their nature, supplemented by elimination of interest of parent company in capital, reserves and retained earnings of the subsidiaries. Exclusive funds recorded as short-term investments are consolidated.

s) Proposed profit allocation

The financial statements reflect the Board of Directors’ proposal for allocation of the net income for the year subject to the approval by the Annual General Meeting.

t) Derivatives

In order to protect a part of the Company’s exposure from the effects of foreign exchange rate change and from the increase in fuel prices, the Company uses oil and foreign exchange derivative financial instruments. Those instruments are mainly futures, options, collars and swaps.

As there is not a future market for aircraft fuel in Brazil, the Company uses international derivatives to manage its exposure to fuel price increases. There is a high correlation between international oil prices and aircraft fuel in Brazil, making oil derivatives effective in offsetting aircraft fuel price fluctuation and serving as a short-term protection against strong increases in average aircraft fuel price.

The Company measures the effectiveness of derivatives in relation to variations in the hedged assets prices. As most of the Company’s fuel derivatives are not traded on stock exchanges, the Company estimates their fair values based on present value valuation methods by discounting future cash flows, or by option valuation models, which uses assumptions on market prices of commodities. Furthermore, as there is not a reliable futures market for aircraft fuel, management estimates aircraft fuel future prices based on international future curves to measure the effectiveness of derivatives to offset price fluctuations.

t) Derivatives (Continued)

Aiming to record, demonstrate and disclose transactions with derivative financial instruments carried out by the Company and its subsidiaries, based on their formal risk management policies, the Company measures the effectiveness of derivative financial instruments used with the specific purpose of market risk coverage based on their fair values, and to recognize the non-effective portion of realized results of the transactions with derivative financial instruments directly in the financial result for the year, whereas the effective portion of results is recognized by adjusting revenues and expenses related to the hedged items. According to hedge accounting standards, gains and losses from derivatives in effective hedging transactions are kept in the adjustments to asset valuation account, in shareholders’ equity, and recognized in P&L on the date when the hedge-related expenses are incurred.

The accounting policy for effectiveness measurement of derivative instruments was defined based on the Company’s risk management policy that considers effective instruments which offset between 80% and 125% of the price fluctuation of the hedged item.

The market value of derivative financial instruments is calculated based on usual market practices, using closing amounts in the period and material underlying price quotations, except for option contracts, whose values are determined based on a pricing methodology (Black & Scholes), and the variables and information related to volatility ratios are obtained by means of acknowledged market information providers.

u) Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated based on the number of outstanding shares at the balance sheet date.

v) Segment information

Segment information is presented in a consistent form with the information presented in the financial statements prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America – USGAAP and includes revenue geographically segregated.

The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America – USGAAP.

The tax credits arising from the merger of BSSF II Holdings Ltda. with the subsidiary GOL, occurred on March 29, 2004, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 60 months since May, 2004.

At December 31, 2007, the tax credits resulting from accumulated losses, social contribution tax losses and temporary differences were recorded based on expected generation of future taxable income by the parent company and its subsidiaries, provided that legal limitations are complied with. The forecast of the generation of future taxable income technically prepared and supported by the Company and its subsidiaries business plans indicate existence of taxable income sufficient for the realization of deferred tax credits within an estimated term of five years. The tax credits of the recently acquired subsidiary VRG were valued considering future earnings forecasts prepared under the responsibility of the new Management, and based on studies and financial, economic and business assumptions that consider its corporate financial and operational restructuring.

The Company reviewed its projections for generation of taxable income in connection with the adverse operating conditions in 2007 and the acquisition of VRG. The realization of tax credits, considering the 12-month period from January 1 to December 31 of each year, is estimated as follows:

14. Provision for Contingencies (Continued)

The Company is challenging in court the VAT (ICMS) levy on aircraft and engine imports under operating lease without purchase option in transactions carried out with lessors headquartered in foreign countries. The Company’s Management understands that these transactions represent simple lease in view of the contractual obligation to return the asset subject matter of the contract, which will never be considered as Company’s asset. Given that there is no circulation of goods, relevant tax triggering event is not characterized. The estimated aggregate value of lawsuits filed is R$173,887 at December 31, 2007 (R$ 45,248 at December 31, 2006) monetarily adjusted and not including charges on arrears. Management, based on the assessment of the cases by its legal advisors and supported by case laws favorable to taxpayers from the High Court (STJ) and the Supreme Federal Court (STF) handed down in the second quarter of 2007, understands that it is unlikely for the Company to have losses on these lawsuits. The accounting practices adopted in the preparation of its financial statements, in line with international standards, do not require setting up of a provision for losses in these circumstances.

Although the results of those proceedings cannot be estimated, the final judgment of those actions will not have a relevant side effect on the Company’s financial position, operating income and cash flow, according to Management’s opinion supported by its outside legal advisors.

15. Other Obligations – Non-current

At December 31, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries have legal obligations related to taxes under discussion in the amount of R$ 30,768 (R$ 22,423 at December 31, 2006) classified in non-current as other obligations.

The Company is challenging in court several aspects regarding the assessment and calculation basis for PIS and COFINS on its operations that are recorded as long-term tax obligations. In one of the legal proceedings the Company challenges the incidence of mandatory contributions named "PIS/COFINS-Import", based on the unconstitutionality of the extension of the tax base. The other significant proceeding addresses the Company’s right to suspend the incidence of PIS and COFINS contributions on air cargo transportation based on the non-cumulative system.

The subsidiary Gol Transportes Aéreos S.A. recorded a special goodwill reserve in the amount of R$ 29,187, corresponding to the value of the tax benefit resulting from the goodwill amortization determined by BSSF II Holdings Ltda. and absorbed on the merger of that company.

The tax benefit realized was R$ 5,838 (R$5,838 in 2006) and the accumulated realized benefit at December 31, 2007 is R$ 21,404 (R$ 15,566 in 2006).

The goodwill reserve was determined based on the granting of shares as a result of the appreciation of the net assets received in relation to the value contributed as capital increase and indistinctively benefits all the shareholders.

c) Revenue reserves

i. Legal Reserve

It is constituted by means of the appropriation of 5% of the net income for the year, according to the article 193 of Law No. 6,404/76.

ii. Reinvestments

21. Commitments (Continued)

The Company has a purchase contract with Boeing for the acquisition of Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft. At December 31, 2007, there were 102 firm orders and 64 purchase options. The firm orders have an approximate value of R$8,155,237 (corresponding to approximately US$ 4.6 billions) based on the aircraft list price, including estimated amounts for contractual price escalations during the phase of the aircraft construction. The Company has been making initial payments arising from the construction phase for aircraft acquisitions using own proceeds from initial share offerings, loans and supplier financing. The commitments arising from the aircraft acquisition include the portion that will be financed by long-term financings with guarantee of the aircraft by the U.S. Exim Bank (Exim), corresponding to approximately 85% of the total cost of the aircraft.

The future commitments based on the operating lease contracts are denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Company has letters of credit in the amount of R$ 69,757 (US$39.4 million) for aircraft leasing contracts guarantee and R$ 205,573 (US$116 million) for obligations related to maintenance of leased assets.

At December 20, 2007, the Board of Directors, within the scope of its functions and in conformity with the Company’s Stock Option Plan for 2008, approved the granting of 190,296 options for the purchase of the Company’s preferred shares at the price of R$ 45.46 per share to be exercised in 2008 (113,379 options for the purchase of the Company’s preferred shares at the price of R$ 65.85 per share at December 31, 2006).

The stock option transactions are summarized below:

    Stock    Weighted average 
    options    price exercised

Quantity of options to be exercised at December 31, 2007    91,350    44.92 

The weighted average fair value of the outstanding stock options is R$ 25.59 at December 31, 2007 (R$ 27.20 at December 31, 2006) and was estimated based on the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model, assuming a 2.60 % dividend payment, an estimated volatility of 49.88%, a weighted average risk free rate of 11.25 % and average maturity of 3.13 years.

The accounting practices adopted in Brazil do not require recognition of compensation expenses through the Company’s stock options. If the Company had recorded in its results the compensation expenses by means of stock options, based on the fair value on the date of the options granting, the income of 2007 would have been R$ 1,562 lower (R$ 3,239 in 2006).

23. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to several market risks arising from its operations. Such risks involve mainly the effects of changes in fuel price and foreign exchange rate risk, since its revenues are generated in Reais and the Company has significant commitments in U.S. dollars, credit risks and interest rate risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to minimize those risks. The Company maintains a formal risk management policy under the management of its executive officers, its Risk Policy Committee and its Board of Directors.

The management of these risks is performed through control policies, establishing limits, as well as other monitoring techniques, mainly mathematical models adopted for the continuous monitoring of exposures. The exclusive investment funds in which the Company and its subsidiary GOL are shareholders are used as means for the risk coverage contracting according to the Company’s risk management policies.

23. Derivative Financial Instruments (Continued)

a) Fuel price risk

Airlines are exposed to aircraft fuel price change effects. Aircraft fuel consumption in 2007 and 2006 represented approximately 37.8% and 38.4% of the Company’s operating, selling and administrative expenses, respectively. To manage these risks, the Company periodically uses futures contracts, swaps and oil and oil-products options to manage those risks. The subject matter of fuel hedge is fuel operating expenses. As the aircraft fuel is not traded on a commodities exchange, the liquidity and alternatives for contracting hedge operations of that item are limited. However, the Company has found effective commodities to hedge aircraft fuel costs, mainly crude oil. Historically, oil prices have been highly related to aircraft fuel prices, which make oil derivatives effective in hedging oil price fluctuations, in order to provide short-term protection against sudden fuel price increases. The futures contracts are listed on NYMEX, swaps are contracted with prime international banks and the options can be either those listed on NYMEX or those traded with prime international banks.

The Company’s derivatives contracts, at December 31, 2007 and 2006, are summarized as follows (in thousands, except when indicated):

    2007    2006 
     
At December 31:

23. Derivative Financial Instruments (Continued)

a) Fuel price risk (Continued)

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments for short and long-term time frames and holds positions for future months. At December 31, 2007 the Company has a combination of purchased call options, collar structures, and swap agreements in place to hedge approximately 29% and 7% of its aircraft fuel requirements for the first and second quarters of 2008, respectively, at average oil equivalent prices of approximately US$ 85.13 and US$ 62.88 per barrel, respectively.

The Company classifies fuel hedge as “cash flow hedge”, and recognizes the changes in fair market value of effective hedges accounted for in shareholders’ equity until the hedged fuel is consumed. The fuel hedge effectiveness is estimated based on correlation statistical methods or by the proportion of fuel purchase expense variations that are offset by the fair market value variation of derivatives. Effective hedge results are recorded as decrease or increase in the cost of acquisition of fuel, and the hedge results that are not effective are recognized as financial income/expenses. Ineffective hedges arise when the change in the value of derivatives is not between 80% and 125% of the hedged fuel value variation. When the aircraft fuel is consumed and the related derivative financial instrument is settled, the unrealized gains or losses recorded in shareholders’ equity are recognized in the statement of income adjusting aircraft fuel expenses. The Company is exposed to the risk that periodic changes in the fair value of derivative instruments contracted will not be effective to offset fuel price variations, or that unrealized gains or losses of derivative instruments contracted will no longer qualify to remain under shareholders’ equity. As derivative financial instruments become ineffective, the agreements are recognized in the statement of income for the period.

Ineffectiveness is inherent in hedging fuel with derivative instruments based on other oil related commodities, especially given the recent volatility in the prices of refined oil products. When the Company determines that specific hedges will not regain effectiveness in the time period remaining until settlement, any changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized in the statement of income for the period in which the change occurs.

a) Fuel price risk (Continued)

At December 31, 2007, the Company recognized R$ 33,167 (US$ 18,725 thousand) of gains in fuel expenses, net, related to the effectiveness of terminated hedge contracts and R$ 12,182 (US$ 6,877 thousand) of net gains in financial expenses, related to the ineffectiveness of its hedges and losses in accounting of certain hedge instruments. At December 31, 2007 there was an unrealized fuel hedge gain of R$5,051 (R$ 3,018 in 2006) referring to the effective portion of the contracted hedges for future periods recorded in shareholders’ equity.

The fair market value of swaps is estimated by discounted cash flow methods, and the fair value of the options is estimated by the Black-Scholes model adapted to commodities options.

b) Exchange rate risk (Continued)

Company’s Management believes that the derivatives it uses are extremely correlated to the U.S. Dollar/Real foreign exchange rate variation, thus providing short-term hedge against foreign exchange rate changes. The Company classifies hedge for exposure to U.S. Dollar variations as “cash flow hedge” and recognizes the fair market value variations of highly effective hedges in the same period in which the estimated expenses which are the subject matter of the hedge occur. The market value changes of the highly effective hedges are recorded in Financial Income or Expenses until the period the hedged item is recognized in the statement of income, when they are recognized as decrease or increase in incurred expenses. The market value changes of hedges that are not highly effective are recognized as financial income or expense. The U.S. Dollar hedge effectiveness is estimated by statistical correlation methods or by the proportion of expenses variation that are offset by the fair market value variation of the derivatives.

The fair market value of swaps is estimated by discounted cash flow method; the fair value of options is estimated by the Black-Scholes method adapted to the currency options; and the futures fair value refers to the last owed or receivable adjustment already accounted for and not settled yet.

The Company uses short-term derivative financial instruments. The following table summarizes the position of the foreign exchange derivative contracts (in thousands, except otherwise indicated):

c) Credit risk of financial derivative instruments

The derivative financial instruments used by the Company are conducted with top quality credit counterparts, AA+ or better rated international banks, according to Moody’s and Fitch agencies or international futures exchange or the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F). The Company management believes that the risk of not receiving the owed amounts by its counterparties in the derivative operations is not material.

d) Interest rate risk

The Company’s results are affected by fluctuations in international interest rates due to the impact of such changes on expenses of operating lease agreements. At December 31, 2007, the Company contracted derivatives through swap-lock contracts to protect itself from interest rate oscillations of its aircraft leasing contracts. At December 31, 2007, the Company recognized R$ 2,630 (US$1,485 thousand) of net losses in financial income. The market value changes are recognized in the period as financial income (expense). These financial instruments were not considered hedge.

d) Interest rate risk (Continued)

The Company’s results are also affected by changes in the interest rates prevailing in Brazil, incident on financial investments, short-term investments, local currency liabilities, and assets and liabilities indexed to US dollars. Such variations affect the market value of derivative financial instruments contracted in Brazil, market value of prefixed securities denominated in reais and the remuneration of cash and financial investments balance. The Company uses Interbank Deposit futures contracts of the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) to protect itself against domestic interest rate impacts on the prefixed portion of its investments. At December 31, 2007, the nominal value of Interbank Deposit futures contracts with the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) totaled R$ 71,400 (R$68,500 in 2006) with periods of up to 22 months, with a fair market value of R$(6) (R$ (24) in 2006), corresponding to the last owed or receivable adjustment, already determined and not yet settled. The total variations in market value, payments and receivables related to the DI futures are recognized as increase or decrease in financial income in the same period they occur.

e) Derivatives contracts used in cash management

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments for cash management purposes. The Company enters into option contracts known as boxes with first tier banks and registered with the CETIP (Clearing House for Private Sector Securities) with the objective of investing cash at fixed rates. At December 31, 2007, the total amount invested in boxes was R$ 66,845 with average term of 225 days. The Company utilizes swap contracts with first-tier banks to change the remuneration of part of its short-term investments to the Brazilian overnight deposit rate, the CDI. Investments in box combinations are swapped from fixed rates to a percentage of the CDI and investments in U.S. Dollar denominated securities are swapped from U.S. Dollar based remuneration to Reais plus a percentage of CDI rate. At December 31, 2007, the notional amount of fixed-rate swaps to CDI was R$ 61,200 with a market value of R$ 379; and the notional amount of currency swaps was R$ 132,848 with a market value or R$ 28,089. The changes in fair value of these swaps are reflected in the statement of income in the period in which the change occurs.

24. Insurance Coverage

Management holds an insurance coverage in amounts that it deems necessary to cover possible accidents, due to the nature of its assets and the risks inherent to its activity, observing the limits established in lease agreements. At December 31, 2007 the insurance coverage, by nature, considering GOL’s and VRG’s aircraft fleet and in relation to the maximum indemnifiable amounts, is the following:

Aeronautic Type    R$ (000)   US$ (000)
     
Warranty – Hull    6,064,211    3,423,593 
Civil Liability per occurrence/aircraft    3,099,775    1,750,000 
Warranty – Hull/War    6,064,211    3,423,593 
Inventories    380.930    215.000 

By means of Law No. 10744, dated October 09, 2003, the Brazilian government undertook to supplement possible civil liability expenses before third parties caused by acts of war or terrorist attacks, occurred in Brazil or abroad, for which GOL and VRG may be demanded, for the amounts that exceed the insurance policy limit effective on September 10, 2001, limited to the equivalent in reais to one billion U.S. dollars.

On September 29, 2007, an aircraft performing Gol Airlines Flight 1907 from Manaus enroute to Rio with a stop in Brasilia, was involved in a mid-air collision with an ExcelAir aircraft. The Gol aircraft, a new Boeing 737-800 Next Generation, went down in the Amazon forest and there were no survivors among the 148 passengers and six crew members. The ExcelAir aircraft, a new Embraer Legacy 135 BJ, performed an emergency landing and all of its seven occupants were unharmed. The Company continues to cooperate fully with all regulatory and investigatory agencies to determine the cause of this accident. The Company maintains insurance for the coverage of these risks and liabilities resulting from the claim. The payments for the hull to the lessor were made by the insurance company. Management does not expect any liabilities arising from the accident involving Flight 1907 to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of its operations.
