SPECIAL REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A.
São Paulo SP
1. We have performed a special review of the Quarterly Information - ITR of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. and subsidiaries (parent company and consolidated) for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, comprising their balance sheet and the respective statements of income and cash flows, the performance report and accompanying notes. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
2. We conducted our review in accordance with the specific rules established by IBRACON Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors, coupled with the Federal Accounting Council, consisting mainly of: (a) inquiry and discussion with the managers in charge of the Companys accounting, financial and operating areas in relation to the main criteria adopted in the preparation of the Quarterly Information; and (b) review of information and subsequent events which have or may have relevant effects on the financial position and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.
3. Based on our special review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the Quarterly Information referred to above for them to be in conformity with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information, including the Notice to the Market dated January 14, 2008.

4. As mentioned in Note 2, on December 28, 2007, Law No. 11638 was enacted, becoming effective on and after January 1, 2008. This Law amends and revokes Law No. 6404 (Corporation Law), introduces new provisions thereto, and shall require changes in accounting practices adopted in Brazil. Although this Law has already become effective, the main changes introduced by it depend on specific regulation to be set by relevant regulators to be fully adopted by the companies. Accordingly, in this phase of transition, CVM, through Notice to the Market dated January 14, 2008, allowed non-adoption of the provisions of Law No. 11638/07 in the preparation of the Quarterly Information - ITR. Thus, the accounting information contained in the Quarterly Information - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, were prepared in accordance with specific instructions issued by the CVM, and do not include the changes in accounting practices introduced by Law No. 11638/07.
5. The accounting practices adopted in Brazil differ, in certain material, from US generally accepted accounting principles (USGAAP). The information on the nature and the effect of these differences is presented in Note 2 to the Quarterly Information.

GOL is a low-cost low-fare airline, which provides regular and non-regular air transportation services among Brazilian cities and also for cities in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile and Peru. At March 31, 2008, GOL operated a 79-aircraft fleet (net of two in return), comprising 37 Boeing 737-800, 30 Boeing 737-700 and 10 Boeing 737-300. At March 31, 2008, the Company operated flights to 58 destinations, 50 of which in Brazil, 3 in Argentina, 1 in Bolivia, 1 in Paraguay, 1 in Uruguay, 1 in Chile, and 1 in Peru.
On April 9, 2007, the Company assumed the control of VRG Linhas Aéreas S.A. (VRG). VRG operates domestic and international flights under its own brand (VARIG) offering differentiated services and incorporating a high efficiency operational model with management best practices. On April 4, 2007, the acquisition was approved by the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). The acquisition of VRG is conditioned upon approval by the Brazilian Antitrust Agency (CADE).

2. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements
The Company has entered into an Agreement for Adoption of Level 2 Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices with the São Paulo Stock Exchange BOVESPA, integrating indices of Shares with Differentiated Corporate Governance IGC and Shares with Differentiated Tag Along ITAG, created to differ companies committed to adopting differentiated corporate governance practices. The Companys financial statements provide for the additional requirements of the BOVESPA Novo Mercado (New Market).
The financial statements are presented in compliance with the pronouncement of IBRACON NPC 27 Accounting Statements Presentation and Disclosures, provisions contained in the Brazilian Corporation Law, the Plan of Accounts prepared by the National Agency of Civil Aviation - ANAC, the complementary rules from the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission CVM, and the accounting practices applied on a consistent basis for the financial year ending December 31, 2007. The authorization for the conclusion of the preparation of these consolidated financial statements occurred in the Board of Directors Meeting of April 24, 2008.
On December 28, 2007, was promulgated the Law No. 11,638, which is prevailing since January 1, 2008 and amends, repeals and introduces new devices to the Brazilian Corporation Law. As permitted by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission - CVM at this transition period, the Quarterly Information do not contemplate any changes in accounting practices under Law No. 11,638, whose effects have not yet been quantified. The Management of the Company understands that the changes introduced by Law No. 11,638 will produce relevant effect on its financial statements, especially in the lease agreements accounting, mileage program and their respective tax effects.
The Quarterly Information includes the accounts of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. and its direct subsidiaries Gol Transportes Aéreos S.A., GTI S.A., GAC Inc. and Gol Finance, and indirect subsidiaries VRG Linhas Aéreas S.A. and SKY Finance.
The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 are not comparable to the statements as of March 31, 2007, due to the acquisition of the subsidiary VRG, consolidated as from April 9, 2007. VRG commenced operations on December 14, 2006 as a company with permission to provide air transportation services and, due to its formation process and recent history, there is no information for the preparation of pro-forma financial statements for previous periods for purposes of comparison.

2. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements (Continued)
Preferred shares of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. are traded as American Depositary Shares ADS on the NYSE in the United States of America, and are subject to the rules of the US Securities and Exchange Commission SEC. The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America USGAAP. Aiming to fulfill the need for information in the markets in which it operates, the Companys practice is to simultaneously disclose its financial statements prepared as per Brazilian Corporation Law and under USGAAP.
Accounting practices adopted in Brazil differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States USGAAP applicable to the air transport segment. At March 31, 2008, the net income for the period, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil (BRGAAP), was R$ 70,555 lower (R$ 25.004 at March 31, 2007) and the shareholders equity presented in the Companys financial statements as per Brazilian Corporation Law was R$ 35,332 lower (R$ 166.014 at December 31, 2007) in comparison with the financial statements prepared under USGAAP.
As of March 31, 2008, reconciliation of net income and shareholders equity is as follows:
Shareholders | ||||
Equity | Net Income | |||
As per Brazilian Corporation Law | 2,279,961 | (74,098) | ||

During the quarter ended on March 31, 2008, as a consequence of new events related to the VRG bankruptcy law recovery plan and supported by contractual provisions, VRG recognized certain obligations existing at the date, which became measurable that increased the purchase price and consequently, the goodwill in R$ 96,927. The goodwill arising on the VRG acquisition is based on expected future profitability determined by technical studies of independent specialists taking into account economic and financial assumptions and will be amortized in proportion to expected future benefits.
Based on the provisions of the VRG acquisition agreement, the Company has started an arbitrage process aiming to determine the purchase price adjustment involving accounts receivable from sellers of R$ 153,000.

12. 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 Companys 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 Companys 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$ 188.649 at March 31, 2008 (R$ 173.887 at December 31, 2007) 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 Companys financial position, operating income and cash flow, according to Managements opinion supported by its outside legal advisors.

At March 31, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries maintained operational lease agreements of 114 aircraft, being 79 from GOL and 35 from VRG (78 aircraft from GOL and 31 from VRG in 2007), with expiration dates from 2008 to 2020.
The Company has a purchase contract with Boeing for the acquisition of Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft. At March 31, 2008, there were 100 firm orders and 40 purchase options. The firm orders have an approximate value of R$7,538,227 (corresponding to approximately US$ 4.3 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$ 64,871 (US$37,088 million) for aircraft leasing contracts guarantee and R$173,682 (US$99,298 million) for obligations related to maintenance of leased assets.

19. Employees
The Company keeps a profit sharing plan and stock option plans for its employees. The employee profit sharing plan is linked to the economic and financial results measured with basis on the Companys performance indicators that assume the achievement of the Company, its business units and individual performance goals. At March 31, 2008, considering the non-achievement of the goals established by the Company, no provision was formed.
At December 20, 2007, the Board of Directors, within the scope of its functions and in conformity with the Companys Stock Option Plan for 2008, approved the granting of 190,296 options for the purchase of the Companys preferred shares at the price of R$ 45.46 per share to be exercised in 2008.
The stock option transactions are summarized below:
Stock | Weighted average | |||
options | price exercised | |||
Outstanding at December 31, 2007 | 276,909 | 50.79 | ||
Granted | 190,296 | 45.46 | ||

Quantity of options to be exercised at December 31, 2007 | 91,350 | 44.92 | ||
Quantity of options to be exercised at March 31, 2008 | 91,013 | 44.97 |
The weighted average fair value of the outstanding stock options is R$ 24.53 at March 31, 2008 (R$ 25.59 at December 31, 2007) and was estimated based on the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model, assuming a 2.30 % dividend payment, an estimated volatility of 53.81%, a weighted average risk free rate of 11.25 % and average maturity of 3.70 years.
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 period would have been R$ 602 lower (R$ 417 in March 31, 2007).

20. 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 Companys risk management policies.
27
20. Derivative Financial Instruments (Continued)
a) Fuel price risk
Airlines are exposed to aircraft fuel price change effects. Aircraft fuel consumption in the first quarter of 2008 and 2007 represented approximately 40.3% and 37.9% of the Companys 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 Companys derivatives contracts, at December 31, 2008 and 2007, are summarized as follows (in thousands, except when indicated):
2007 | 2006 | |||
Fair value of derivative financial instruments at year end | R$ 16,600 | R$ 23,302 | ||
Average term (months) | 2 | 2 | ||
Hedged volume (barrels) | 1,456,000 | 1,388,000 | ||

Gains on hedge ineffectiveness recognized as financial expenses | 1,203 | R$ 5,325 | ||
Current percentage of hedged consumption (during the period) | 60% | 87% |
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments for short and long-term time frames and holds positions for future months. At March 31, 2008 the Company has a combination of purchased call options, collar structures, and swap agreements in place to hedge approximately 39% of its aircraft fuel requirements for the second quarter of 2008, at average oil equivalent price of approximately US$ 93.18 per barrel.
28
20. Derivative Financial Instruments (Continued)
a) Fuel price risk (Continued)
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 March 31, 2008, the Company recognized R$ 13,785 (US$ 7,881) of gains in fuel expenses, net, related to the effectiveness of terminated hedge contracts and R$ 10,159 (US$ 5,808) 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$ 4,410 (R$6,020 in March 31, 2007) 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.

The foreign exchange exposure concerning amounts payable resulting from operating leases, insurances, maintenance, and the exposure to fuel price variations caused by the foreign exchange rate are managed by hedge strategies with U.S. Dollar futures contracts and U.S. Dollar options listed on BM&F (Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange). The expense accounts that are the subject matter of foreign exchange rate hedge are: fuel expenses, lease, maintenance, insurance and international IT services.

20. Derivative Financial Instruments (Continued)
b) Exchange rate risk (Continued)
Companys 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 Moodys 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 Companys results are affected by fluctuations in international interest rates due to the impact of such changes on expenses of operating lease agreements. At March 31, 2008, the Company contracted derivatives through swap-lock contracts to protect itself from interest rate oscillations of its aircraft leasing contracts. The market value changes are recognized in the period as financial income (expense). These financial instruments were not considered hedge.

The Companys 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 March 31, 2008, the nominal value of Interbank Deposit futures contracts with the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) totaled R$ 78,700 (R$5,900 at March 31, 2007) with periods of up to 21 months, with a fair market value of R$12 (R$ 1,313 at March 31, 2007), 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 March 31, 2008, the total amount invested in boxes was R$ 56,533 with average term of 304 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 March 31, 2008, the notional amount of fixed-rate swaps to CDI was R$ 55,900 with a market value of R$ 419 and had no foreign exchange swap transactions. The changes in fair value of these swaps are reflected in the statement of income in the period in which the change occurs.

21. 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 March 31, 2008 the insurance coverage, by nature, considering GOLs and VRGs aircraft fleet and in relation to the maximum indemnifiable amounts, is the following:
Aeronautic Type | R$ (000) | US$ (000) | ||||
Warranty Hull | 6,450,153 | 3,687,698 | ||||
Civil Liability per occurrence/aircraft | 3,060,925 | 1,750,000 | ||||
Warranty Hull/War | 6,450,153 | 3,687,698 | ||||
Inventories | 437,275 | 250,000 |
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.
