REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2008, the related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders equity and comprehensive income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical review procedures to financial data, and making inquires of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders equity and comprehensive income for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated February 12, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007
(In thousands of Brazilian Reais)
1. Business Overview
As of March 31, 2008, GOL operated a 79 aircraft fleet (net of two in return), comprised of 37 Boeing 737-800, 30 Boeing 737-700 and 10 Boeing 737-300 aircraft, and VRG (see Note 4) operated a 35-aircraft fleet (net of four in return), comprised of 7 Boeing 737-800, 2 Boeing 737-700, 11 Boeing 737-300 and 11 Boeing 767-300 aircraft. During the first quarter of 2008, GOL served 58 destinations (50 in Brazil, 3 in Argentina, and 1 each in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay), and VRG served 21 destinations (14 in Brazil, and 1 each in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, France, Mexico, Spain and Venezuela).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of presentation
These condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information, using Brazilian Reais as the functional and reporting currency. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys results for the periods presented. The exchange rates, per US Dollar at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were R$ 1.7491 and R$ 1.7713, respectively. The average exchange rates for March 31, 2008 and 2007 were R$1.7379 and R$ 2.1085, respectively, (these rates are provided for reference purposes). The accounting principles adopted under US GAAP differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in Brazil (Brazilian GAAP), which the Company uses to prepare its statutory financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F- 7
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
a) Basis of presentation (Continued)
The condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries Gol Transportes Aéreos S.A. (GTA), GTI S.A., GAC Inc., Gol Finance and indirect ownership of VRG Linhas Aéreas S.A and SKY Finance. Results include those of VRG since April 9, 2007, the date the Company assumed operations of VRG. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated.
The results of the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2008. The balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2007.
In September 2006, the FASB issued statement No 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The purpose of SFAS 157 is to eliminate the diversity in practice associated with measuring fair value as caused by the application of existing accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and thus, should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS has established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets, (2) inputs other than the quoted prices noted above that are observable either directly or indirectly and (3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of such pronouncement did not generate a material impact on the Company´s financial position, except for certain required disclosures about fair value measurements for interim periods and fiscal years. For additional information regarding recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, see Note 12.
F- 8
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
b) New accounting pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement 133, (SFAS "161"), which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format provides a more complete picture of the location in an entity's financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
3. Business Combination
On April 9, 2007, the Company acquired VRG. The total purchase price was R$ 558,744 (US$ 290,076) of which R$ 194,087 (US$100,762) was paid in cash, net of cash acquired, R$ 357,235 (US$ 185,461) was paid in non-voting preferred shares and R$ 7,422 (US$ 3,853) was acquisition cost. The value of Companys preferred shares issued as consideration to the shareholders of VRG was determined based on the average market price at the date the transaction was agreed to and announced. The purchase contract includes provisions for a post-closing purchase price adjustment based on an audit of specific assets and liabilities. Disputed items involved in the arbitration process pursuant to this contract provision could result in a reduction of the purchase price of up to R$ 153,000. The results of VRGs operations have been consolidated since April 9, 2007, the acquisition date.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the date of acquisition.
F- 9
3. Business Combination (Continued)
The valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on managements best available estimate of fair value for the assets and liabilities of VRG considering the prevailing market conditions at the date of acquisition. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The final valuation of airport operating rights was R$ 185,892 lower than estimated due to increased information available to management related to estimating the future cash flows for the routes associated with the airport operating rights acquired. The final valuation of tradenames was R$ 61,774 lower than estimated due to additional information available to management leading to revised cash flow projections for the brand of VRG, which was acquired out of bankruptcy. Liabilities assumed increased by R$83,602 primarily due to amounts owed to the companies in judicial recovery not recognized by sellers at the time of the acquisition, liabilities identified in jurisdictions where Brazilian law is not recognized and revised estimates of the probability of the seller honoring payment of liabilities.
The following table summarizes the final allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Assets acquired | ||
Accounts receivable | 24,153 | |
Inventories | 5,442 | |
Deferred income tax assets | 224,155 | |
Fixed assets | 11,740 | |
Intangible assets | 623,951 | |
Other assets | 101,206 | |
Total assets acquired | 990,647 | |

Air traffic liability | (38,792) | |
Deferred revenue | (375,497) | |
Debentures | (87,876) | |
Deferred income taxes | (110,939) | |
Other liabilities | (136,881) | |
Total liabilities assumed | (970,847) | |
Net assets acquired | 19,800 | |
Purchase price, net of cash acquired | 558,744 | |
Goodwill | 538,944 | |
F- 10
3. Business Combination (Continued)
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is tax-deductible in the amount of R$ 375,469. Intangible assets with indefinite lives consist of the fair value allocated to airport operating rights and tradenames, valued at R$ 560,842 and R$ 63,109, respectively.
VRGs airport operating rights in Brazil were determined to have an indefinite useful life due to several factors and considerations, including requirements for necessary permits to operate within Brazil and limited slot availability in the most important airports in terms of traffic volume. The VRG tradenames were determined to have indefinite useful lives due to several factors and considerations, including the brand awareness and market position, customer recognition and loyalty and the continued use of the VARIG tradenames. In the event the Company determines that the value of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives has become impaired, the Company will recognize a charge for the amount of impairment during the period in which the determination is made.

The Company makes payments for aircraft acquisitions utilizing the proceeds from equity and debt financings, cash flow from operations, short and medium-term credit lines and supplier financing. Pre-delivery deposits refer to prepayments made based on the agreements entered into with Boeing Company for the purchase of Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft.
At March 31, 2008, the Company has a purchase contract with Boeing for acquisition of Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft, under which the Company currently has 100 firm orders and 40 purchase options. The firm orders have an approximate value of R$ 7,538,227 (corresponding to US$ 4,309,775 thousands) based on the aircraft list price (excluding contractual manufacturers discounts), including estimated amounts for contractual price escalations and pre-delivery deposits. Aircraft purchase commitments can be financed with long-term financing guaranteed by the U.S. Exim Bank (for approximately 85% of the total acquisition cost).
F- 16
11. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk
At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Companys primary monetary assets were cash equivalents and long-term debt, short-term investments and assets related to aircraft leasing transactions. The Companys primary monetary liabilities are related to aircraft leasing operations and long-term debt. All monetary assets other than those related to aircraft leasing operations included in the balance sheet are stated at amounts that approximate their fair values. Aircraft leasing operations are valued at the present value of the obligations.
Financial instruments that expose the Company to credit risk involve mainly cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. Credit risk on cash equivalents and short term investments relates to amounts invested with major financial institutions. Credit risk on accounts receivable relates to amounts receivable from the major international credit card companies. These receivables are short-term and the majority of them settle within 30 days.
The Companys revenue is generated in Brazilian Reais (except for a small portion in Argentine Pesos, Bolivian Bolivianos, Chilean Pesos, Colombian Pesos, Euros, Paraguay Guaranis, Peru Nuevos Soles, Uruguayan Pesos and Venezuelan Bolivares from flights between Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Germany, France, Italy, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela). However, its liabilities, particularly those related to aircraft leasing and acquisition, are US dollar-denominated. The Companys currency exchange exposure at March 31, 2008 is as set forth below:
March 31, 2008 | December 31, 2007 | |||
Assets | ||||
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments | 500,222 | 1,170,526 | ||

11. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk (Continued)
The Companys off-balance sheet exposure represents the future obligations related to operating lease contracts and aircraft purchase contracts.
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments with first-tier banks for cash management purposes. The Company currently has synthetic fixed income options and swap agreements to obtain the Brazilian overnight deposit rate from fixed-rate or dollar-denominated investments.
a) Fuel
Airline operations are exposed to the effects of changes in the price of aircraft fuel. Aircraft fuel consumed in the first quarter of 2008 and 2007 represented 40.6% and 39.4% of the Companys operating expenses, respectively. To manage this risk, the Company periodically enters into crude oil option contracts and swap agreements. Because jet fuel is not traded on an organized futures exchange, liquidity for hedging is limited. However, the Company has found commodities for effective hedging of jet fuel costs. Historically, prices for crude oil are highly correlated to Brazilian jet fuel, making crude oil derivatives effective at offsetting jet fuel prices to provide short-term protection against a sharp increase in average fuel prices.
The following is a summary of the companys fuel derivative contracts (in thousands, except as otherwise indicated):

F- 18
11. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk (Continued)
a) Fuel (Continued)
The Company utilizes financial derivative instruments as hedges to decrease its exposure to jet fuel price increases for short-term time frames. The Company currently has a combination of purchased call options, collar structures, and fixed price swap agreements in place to hedge approximately 39% of its jet fuel requirements at average crude equivalent prices of approximately US$ 93.18 per barrel for the second quarter of 2008.
The Company accounts for its fuel hedge derivative instruments as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. Under SFAS 133, all derivatives designated as hedges that meet certain requirements are granted special hedge accounting treatment. Generally, utilizing the special hedge accounting, all periodic changes in fair value of the derivatives designated as hedges that are considered to be effective, as defined, are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying jet fuel is consumed. When the aircraft fuel is consumed and the related derivative contract settles, any gains or losses previously deferred in other comprehensive income are recognized as aircraft fuel expense. The Company is exposed to the risk that periodic changes will not be effective, as defined, or that the derivatives will no longer qualify for special hedge accounting. Ineffectiveness, as defined, results when the change in the total fair value of the derivative instrument does not equal 80-125% of the change in the value of the aircraft fuel being hedged or the change in value of the Companys expected future cash outlay to purchase and consume jet fuel. To the extent that the periodic changes in the fair value of the derivatives are not effective, that ineffectiveness is recorded to Other gains and losses in the income statement. Likewise, if a hedge ceases to qualify for hedge accounting, those periodic changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded to Other gains and losses in the income statement in the period of the change.
F- 19
11. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk (Continued)
a) Fuel (Continued)
Ineffectiveness is inherent in hedging jet fuel with derivative positions based in other crude oil related commodities, especially given the recent volatility in the prices of refined products. Due to the volatility in markets for crude oil and related products, the Company is unable to predict the amount of ineffectiveness each period, including the loss of hedge accounting, which could be determined on a derivative by derivative basis or in the aggregate. In specific instances, the Company has determined that specific hedges will not regain effectiveness in the time period remaining until settlement and therefore must discontinue special hedge accounting, as defined by SFAS 133. When this happens, any changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are marked to market through earnings in the period of change.
The Company continually looks for better and more accurate methodologies in forecasting and estimating future cash flows relating to its jet fuel hedging program. These estimates are used in the measurement of effectiveness for the Companys fuel hedges, as required by SFAS 133. The Companys methodology utilizes a statistical-based regression equation with data from market forward prices of like commodities.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized a gain of R$13,785 (R$ 2,730 during the three months ended March 31, 2007) as a reduction of aircraft fuel expense and R$ 1,203 (R$ 2,730 during the three months ended March 31, 2007) of additional net gain in Other expenses, net related to the ineffectiveness of its hedges and the loss of hedge accounting for certain hedges. Of this net total, R$ 2,860 (R$ 61 as of March 31, 2007) was ineffectiveness gain and mark-to-market gain related to contracts that will be settled in future periods. As of March 31, 2008 there was R$ 4,410 (R$ 6,020 as of March 31, 2007), net of taxes, of unrealized gains with jet fuel hedges recorded in comprehensive income. During the period, all fuel derivative transactions were designated as hedges.
F- 20
11. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk (Continued)
a) Fuel (Continued)
Outstanding financial derivative instruments expose the Company to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. However, the Company does not expect any of its eight counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. The amount of such credit exposure is generally the unrealized gain, if any, in such contracts. To manage credit risk, the Company selects counterparties based on credit assessments, limits overall exposure to any single counterparty and monitors the market position with each counterparty. The Company does not purchase or hold financial derivative instruments for trading purposes.
b) Exchange rates
The Company is exposed to the effects of changes in the US$ exchange rate. Exchange exposure relates to amounts payable arising from US$-denominated and US$-linked expenses and payments. To manage this risk, the Company uses US options and futures contracts.
The following is a summary of our foreign currency derivative contracts (in thousands, except as otherwise indicated):
March 31, | December 31, | |||
2008 | 2007 | |||
Fair value of derivative instruments | R$ 4,578 | R$ 1,049 | ||
Longest remaining term (months) | 9 | 3 | ||

Hedge ineffectiveness losses recognized in other income | R$ (1.954) | R$ (6,596) | ||
Percentage of expenses hedged (during period) | 52% | 50% |
The Company utilizes financial derivative instruments as hedges to decrease its exposure to increases in the US$ exchange rate. The Company has utilized derivative financial instruments for short-term time frames. The Company accounts for its foreign currency futures derivative instruments as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. As of March 31, 2008 the unrealized loss with exchange rates recorded in comprehensive income was R$ 138 (R$ 2,040 as of March 31, 2007), net of taxes.
F- 21
11. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk (Continued)
b) Exchange rates (Continued)
While outstanding, these contracts are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with the effective portion of the change in their fair value being reflected in other comprehensive income. Ineffectiveness, the extent to which the change in fair value of the financial derivatives exceeds the change in the fair value of the operating expenses being hedged, is recognized in other income (expense) immediately. When operating expenses are incurred and the related derivative contract settles, any gain or loss previously deferred in other comprehensive income is recognized in operating expenses.
c) Interest rates
The Companys results are affected by fluctuations in international interest rates due to the impact of such changes on expenses of lease agreements. On March 31, 2008, the Company contracted derivatives through swap-lock contracts to protect itself from interest rate oscillations of its aircraft leasing contracts. On March 31, 2008, the Company recognized R$ 927 (US$ 530) of net gains in financial income. The fair value changes are recognized in the period as financial income (expense). These financial instruments were not considered hedges.
The Companys results are affected by changes in the interest rates prevailing in Brazil, incidents on financial investments, short-term investments, local currency liabilities, and assets and liabilities indexed to US dollars. Such variations affect the market value of prefixed securities denominated in reais and the remuneration of cash and financial investments balance. The Company uses Interbank Deposit futures of the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) solely to protect itself against domestic interest rate impacts on the prefixed portion of its investments. On 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 as of March 31, 2007) with periods of up to 21 months, with a fair market value of R$ 12 (R$ 1,313 as of 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 interest rate futures are recognized as increase or decrease in financial income in the same period they occur.
F- 22
11. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk (Continued)
d) Cash management
The Company utilizes financial derivative instruments for cash management purposes. The Company utilizes synthetic fixed income options and swaps to obtain the Brazilian overnight deposit rate from fixed-rate or dollar-denominated investments. The Company enters into synthetic fixed income option contracts with first-tier banks registered in the Brazilian CETIP clearing house. As of March 31, 2008, the total amount invested in synthetic fixed-income option contracts was R$ 56,533 with an average term of 304 days. The Company utilizes swap agreements to change the remuneration of a portion of its short term investments to the Brazilian overnight deposit rate (CDI). As of March 31, 2008, the notional amount of fixed-rate swaps to CDI was R$ 55,900 with a fair value of R$ 419. The change in fair value of these swaps is recognized in interest income in the period of change.
12. Fair Value Measurements
As described in note 2, the company adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions
F- 23
12. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques noted in SFAS 157. The three valuation techniques are identified in the tables below. Where more than one technique is noted, individual assets or liabilities were valued using one or more of the noted techniques. The valuation techniques are as follows:
a) Market approach. Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
b) Cost approach. Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an
asset (replacement cost).
c) Income approach. Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models).
The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, except for certain required disclosures about fair value measurements on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.
The Companys available-for-sale securities consist of government bonds, certificates of deposit, time-deposits and investment funds. The inputs utilized to determine the fair values of government bonds are obtained in quoted public markets. The inputs utilized to determine fair value of certificates of deposit and time deposits are derived from information obtained quoted in public markets.
The Companys fuel and interest rate derivative contracts consist of OTC contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. These contracts include both swaps as well as other different types of option contracts. See Note 11 for further information on the Companys derivative instruments and hedging activities. The fair values of swap contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. Therefore, the Company has categorized these swap contracts as Level 2. The Company determines the value of option contracts utilizing a standard option pricing model based on inputs that are either readily available in public markets, can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets, or are quoted by counterparties to these contracts. In situations where the Company obtains inputs via quotes from its counterparties, it verifies the reasonableness of these quotes via similar quotes from another counterparty as of each date for which financial statements are prepared.
F- 24
12. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
The Companys foreign exchange derivatives consist of exchange-listed futures and options contracts. The inputs utilized to determine the fair value of these contracts are obtained from quoted public markets.

This estimated price was determined based on our weighted average equivalent ticket value of a Smiles award which is redeemed for travel on Varig or a participating airline. The weighted average equivalent ticket value contemplates differing classes of service and the carrier providing the award travel.
We perform the impairment test for our indefinite-lived intangible assets by comparing the assets fair value to its carrying value. Fair value is estimated based on recent market transactions, where available, or projected discounted future cash flows. For additional information regarding impairment, see Note 2.
In evaluating our goodwill for impairment, we first compare its fair value to its carrying value. We estimate the fair value by considering (1) projected discounted future cash flows, if reasonably estimable, (2) market multiple and recent transaction values of peer companies, (3) the potential value of synergies and other benefits, (4) our market capitalization and (5) any premium an investor would pay for a controlling interest.

14. Earnings per Share
The Companys preferred shares are not entitled to receive any fixed dividends. Rather, the preferred shareholders are entitled to receive dividends per share in the same amount of the dividends per share paid to holders of the common shares. However, our preferred shares are entitled to receive distributions prior to holders of the common shares. Consequently, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income by the weighted average number of all classes of shares outstanding during the year. Preferred shares are excluded during any loss period. The diluted preferred shares are computed including the executive employee stock options calculated using the treasury-stock method as they were granted at an exercise price less that the market price of the shares.
