REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A.
São Paulo - SP - Brazil

1.   We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, and explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. 

2.   We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information”. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

3.   Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2009, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated statements of operations cash flows and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008 of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. 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 procedures and making inquiries 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 statements of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income referred to above for them to be in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Reconciliation with BR GAAP

As permitted by the SEC and in order to meet the information needs of the market in which it operates, the Company is presenting its financial statements under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as well as those pursuant to Brazilian Corporation Law, on a simultaneous basis.

Considering the current stage of the convergence of accounting principles generally accepted in Brazil (BR GAAP) with IFRS, there are still differences between the Company’s financial statements under Brazilian law and those prepared according to IFRS. The reconciliations of net income for the period ended September 30, 2009 and shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2009 are as follows:

    September 30, 2009     
 
Shareholders’ equity under IFRS    1,787,043     
   Smiles deferred revenue (a)   21,666     
   Effects of acquisition of companies (b)   235,367

Reconciliation with BR GAAP (Continued)

a) Smiles deferred revenue

The wholly-owned subsidiary VRG sponsors a mileage program denominated Smiles that provides travel and other awards to members based on accumulated mileage credits.

The portion of revenue from sales related to miles is deferred, and is recognized in the results only when the transportation of passengers included the use of miles is provided. For IFRS purposes, the deferred revenue is recorded at fair value based on an estimated market price of the Company to pay to third parties for meeting the obligations of the Mileage Program. Under BR GAAP obligations are recognized based on the incremental cost that is the additional cost of providing services. Consequently, the accumulated balance of deferred revenue in IFRS is higher than in BR GAAP, causing a reduction of R$21,666 in the Company's shareholders’ equity under IFRS, compared to shareholders’ equity in BRGAAP.

Due to the process of revamping the Mileage Program, the Company has been stimulating the usage of accrued miles through promotions and after the corporate structuring the benefit of Mileage Program was extended to all the passengers with accumulated miles, generating an increase of revenue. The effect of such increase in revenue generation was R$7,143 in IFRS, net of taxes, when compared to BR GAAP.

b) Business combination

For IFRS purposes, the purchase method of accounting was used based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities, being the excess of the consideration transferred over the net of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed registered as goodwill of the business. Under BR GAAP, the goodwill calculated on the acquisition of the company has been determined based on book shareholders’ equity.

c) Deferred income taxes

Changes in the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are the result of the tax effects created by adjustments made to amounts recognized under IFRS which differ from amounts recognized for BR GAAP.

Reclassifications

Certain balances on cash flows statement in the group of operating assets and liabilities, were reclassified to adjust the net income and loss for the period in order to better comparison on the financial statements.

3. Key accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, the key accounting estimates and judgments made by management in applying the Company’s significant accounting policies were the same as those used in the preparation of the most recent published annual consolidated financial statements, such as, provisions, some contingencies, financial assets, accounts receivables, smiles deferred revenue and advance ticket sales, among others.

4. Seasonality of operations

The Company’s results from continuing operations are characterized by its seasonal nature and have varied significantly from quarter to quarter. This phenomenon varies in magnitude depending on the year and the Management expects these variations to continue. Generally, the revenues from and profitability of our flights reach their highest levels during the vacation periods of January (summer) and July (winter) and on the second half of December during the Christmas holiday season. The week during which the annual Carnival celebrations take place in Brazil is generally accompanied by a decrease in load factors. Given our high proportion of fixed costs, this seasonality is likely to cause our results of operations to vary from quarter to quarter.

6. Income Taxes (Continued)

On September 30, 2009, the tax credits resulting from accumulated IRPJ tax losses, negative base of CSLL and temporary differences were recorded based on expectations for future taxable income of the Company and its subsidiaries, within the legal limits. Company Management believes that with the operational structuring of the entities and after the corporate restructuring, it is probable that the future taxable income of the subsidiary VRG Linhas Aéreas S.A. will be sufficient to realize its tax credits recognized in the financial statements.

The revised projections for future taxable income, drawn up on a technical basis and supported by Company business plans, as approved by the Company’s Management Board, indicate the existence of sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax credits in an estimated period of six years, considering the 12-month period from October 1 to September 30 of each year, as follows:

    2009    2010    2011    2012    2013    2014    Total

14. Earnings per share

The Company’s 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, 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 period. The diluted preferred shares are computed including the executive employee stock options using the treasury-stock method as they were granted at an exercise price less that the market price of the shares.

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.

b) Return of aircraft

Relates to the set down of Boeing 767-300/200 and 737-300 aircraft held as operating leases and includes provisions for the costs to meet the contractual return conditions on aircraft held under operating leases.

c) Litigation

At September 30, 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties in judicial lawsuits and administrative proceedings, including 1,310 administrative proceedings, 10,695 civil proceedings and 4,847 labor claims, of which, 1,260 administrative proceedings, 10,047 civil proceedings and 1,077 labor claims were filed as a result of the Company’s operations.

15. Provisions (Continued)

c) Litigation (Continued)

The Company is part of 4 labor claims in France arising from Varig S.A. debts. As of September 30, 2009, there is no indication of chances of success of said lawsuits, since the respective judicial proceedings have not initiated yet, and the first hearing is scheduled for the end of 2009. The total amount involved was not accrued and is approximately R$7,227 (corresponding to € 2.8 million).

The Company is challenging in court the VAT (ICMS) levies on aircraft and engines imported under aircraft leases without purchase options in transactions carried out with lessors headquartered in foreign countries. The Company’s management understands that these transactions represent simple leases in view of the contractual obligation to return the assets that are the subject of the contract, which will never be considered as the Company’s asset. Given that there is no circulation of goods, a relevant tax triggering event is not characterized.

The estimated aggregate value of lawsuits filed is R$ 208,554 at September 30, 2009 (R$201,760 at December 31, 2008), monetarily adjusted and not including charges in 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.

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

16. Transactions with related parties

During the third quarter of 2009, relationships of the Company with its related parties have not changed significantly in terms of amounts and or scope that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Company in the same period.

17. Financial instruments

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to market risks as a result of its operations and consider as more relevant risks the effects of changes in the price of fuel, exchange rate, interest rate risks and credit risks.

The goal of the risk management program of the Company aims to protect against sudden increase of the costs linked to market prices that could affect the Company’s competitiveness in a given period. These risks are managed through use of financial instruments for protection available in the financial market such as swaps, future contracts, exchange options and fuel options. The operations that involve fuel and interest are contracted with international banks classified as low risk (average rating of A+ according to Moody’s and Fitch) and the operations that involve foreign currency are negotiated on BM&FBOVESPA. The use of theses instruments is oriented by a formal policy of risk management which is under the guidance of its executive officers, Risk Policies Committee and Board of Directors.

The Company’s Risk Management Policy establishes controls and limits, as well as other tracking techniques, chiefly mathematical models adopted to constantly monitor exposures, in addition to expressly prohibiting the carrying out of speculative operations involving derivative instruments. The derivative financial instruments are only used for hedge purposes. Additionally, the Company does not conduct operations with any type of operation involving leverage.

Historically, the Company does not contract protection for all of its exposure to fuel consumption and to foreign exchange and interest exposure and is, therefore, subject to the portion of the risks arising from market fluctuations. The portion of the exposure being protected is determined quarterly in line with the strategies determined in the Risk Policies Committee and are monitored periodically. This portion may reach the entire exposure.

The Financial Risk Committee recommends for approval of the Board of Directors long term programs of contracting derivative financial instruments to protect the Company against possible changes in the market price relating to risk of fuel, exchange rate and interest rates during the period of 12 months in a rolling basis allowing to be extended if some predetermined prices are reached.

The Company adopts for a large portion of its derivatives financial instruments the hedge accounting method according to the parameters described in the IAS 39. All derivative financial instruments contracted with the purpose of protection are formally identified through documentation on the acquisition to allow it to fit with the requirements needed to use the hedge accounting method. The Company classified the derivative financial instruments used for protection as “cashflow hedge” and recognizes, based on the criteria for hedge accounting described in IAS 39, the changes in fair value of effective derivatives financial instruments under shareholders’ equity until the object of the hedge achieves its competence.

(In thousand of Brazilian Reais)
 

17. Financial instruments (Continued)

The IAS 39 also requires proof of the effectiveness, prospective and retrospective , of the derivative financial instruments to contain the changes of the expenses protected. The Company estimates the effectiveness based on statistical correlation methods or by the proportion of the variation of gains and losses in fair value of derivatives instruments used as hedge and the variation of the costs of the protected object. The results of effective hedges are booked as a reduction or increase in the operational cost (with exception of interest rate hedge results), and the results of hedges that are not effective are recognized as a financial income or expense of the period. Ineffective hedges occur when the variation ion the value of the derivatives is not between 80% and 125% of the variation on the price of the object of hedge. When the protected object is consumed and the respective derivative financial instrument is settled, the unrealized gains or losses booked under shareholders’ equity are recognized in the income statement. In the case of the derivative financial instruments designated for hedging interest rate, the values of gains or losses with liquidation of these instruments are recorded in income or expense.

The Company also contract derivative financial instruments which are not designed as hedge, in other words, such do not use the criteria for hedge accounting. These contracts are derivatives of interest swap-lock that are used to protect the exposure denominated in Libor rate on operation of aircraft leases. For these derivatives instruments, the change in fair value is recognized directly as financial income or expense of the period.

The market fair value of swaps is estimated based on the method of discounted cashflow and the fair value of options is estimated using the Black&Scholes method (adapted to commodities options in the case of oil).

The relevant information relating to the main risks that affect Company operations are detailed as follows:

a) Fuel price risk

One of the main market risks that the airlines companies face is the price of aircraft fuel whose variations are tied to fluctuations in the price of oil and the fuel represent a significant portion of airlines companies’ costs. Because of this exposure, the Company manages this risk by using strategies of contracting derivative financial instruments that aims to provide protection against sudden and significant increases in the price of oil, thus ensuring the competitiveness of the Company.

Aircraft fuel consumed in the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 represented 35% and 44% of the Company’s operating cost, respectively.

17. Financial instruments (Continued)

a) Fuel price risk (Continued)

Because of the jet fuel traded in commodity exchanges has lower liquidity; the Company acquires derivatives of crude oil to protect against oscillation of aircraft fuel price. Historically, oil prices have been highly correlated to aviation fuel prices, which make oil derivatives effective in offsetting the prices of aviation fuel, so as to provide immediate protection. The hedged item of fuel is the operational expenses with aircraft fuel. The contracts of derivative for fuel hedge are done in Over the Counter markets with the following financial institutions: British Petroleum, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, MF Global, Mitsui and Morgan Stanley.

On September 30, 2009, there were any financial assets linked to margin deposits for contracting derivative instruments for fuel hedge.

The following is a summary of the Company’s fuel derivative contracts designed for hedge (in thousands, except as otherwise indicated):

Risk of exchange rate is the risk related to unexpected variation, in a favorable or unfavorable way, of the expenses and/or revenues whose values are tied to the fluctuations in foreign currencies. The Company’s exposure to foreign currencies is mainly related to operating activities and investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s revenue is generated in Brazilian reais, except for a small portion in Argentine Pesos, Bolivian Bolivianos, Chilean Pesos, Colombian Pesos, Paraguayan Guaranis, Uruguayan Pesos and Venezuelan Bolivares from flights between Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela. However, the Company has a significant portion of its liabilities exposed to changes in the exchange rate of U.S. dollars, particularly those related to aircraft leasing and instruments for raising funds for financing aircrafts acquisitions, requiring contracting derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk. The main expenses accounts that are hedged due to exchange rate exposure are: jetfuel, leasing, maintenance, insurance and international IT services.

The contracts of derivative financial instruments for U.S. dollar hedge are performed with BM&FBOVESPA using exclusive investments funds which are used as vehicles for contracting risk coverage as described in the Company’s Risk Management Policy.

The value of financial assets linked to margin deposits on September 30, 2009 is R$ 16,678 represented by CDB’s (Bank Certificate Deposits) of first tier banks.

c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities primarily for trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, including bank deposits, financial assets classified as available for sale assets, and derivative financial instruments. The credit risk of account receivable is minimized because it is substantially represented by accounts receivable of the largest credit card operators. The derivative financial instruments are made with counterparties that have high ratings according to the assessment by Moody’s and Fitch (an average rate of A+) or the instruments are contracted in the stock exchange of futures and commodities (BM&FBOVESPA). In addition, the Company assesses the risks of counterparties and diversifies its exposure. The Company's management believes that the risk of not receiving the amounts owed by their counterparts in derivative transactions is not significant.

d) Interest rate risk

The Company results are affected by fluctuations in international interest rate because of the impacts of such changes in expenses with leasing. On 30 September, 2009, the Company has derivative financial instruments of interest swap-lock to protect against oscillation of interest rates on aircraft leasing.

The interest rate hedge operations are performed through contracts with first tier financial institutions. At September 30, 2009, the Company has open contracts with the following financial institutions: Calyon, Citibank and Merrill Lynch.

The Company had no financial assets linked to margin deposits, as of September 30, 2009.

e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk of shortage of funds to pay off debts. To avoid mismatch of accounts receivable and accounts payable, the Company’s cash management policy limits a maximum of 20% of its investments with maturities in the same month and the duration of the investments cannot exceed the duration of the Company’s payment obligations.

The Company’s 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 table below presents the Company’s contractual payments required on its financial assets and liabilities:

In addition to the sensitivity analysis considering the assumptions above, the Company also does the analysis of the financial instruments main factor of risk variation taken separately considering:

• The probable scenario is defined as the one expected from the Company and is established by the volatility of each asset;

• The possible adverse scenario considers a deterioration of 25 percent on the main determinant variable of the fair value of the financial instrument;

• The possible but unlikely scenario considers a deterioration of 50 percent on the main determinant variable of the fair value of the financial instrument.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity analysis of the Company and the effect on the cash for the financial instruments based on the scenarios described above:

Restrictive covenants

The Company keeps agreements that require compliance with certain financial and performance indicators (covenants) based on Consolidated Financial Statements such as: (1) Net Debt/EBITDAR, (2) Current Assets/Current Liabilities, (3) EBITDA/Debt Service, (4) Short-term Debt/EBITDA, (5) Current Ratio and (6) Debt Coverage Index (DCI). As of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Company not reached the minimum parameters established with BNDES and had to present a bank’s guarantee. The Company also had not reached the minimum parameters established with IFC at September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, but obtained specific consent from the IFC which established new financial indicators to be reached by December 31, 2009. As of the present date, these new indicators have already been reached.

In relation to the debenture issue, the deed of issue requires the maintenance of the Debt Service Coverage Index which is defined as the ratio between the Company’s cash flow and debt service (total of the principal amortized plus interest paid) for the fiscal year in question. The issuer must obtain an index of at least 100% (one hundred percent) in 2009 and 130% (one hundred and thirty percent) in 2010, to be verified at the end of each period.
