SPECIAL REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

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

1. We have performed a special review of the Quarterly Information (ITR) (Company and consolidated) of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A., for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008, including the balance sheet, the related statement of income, statement of cash flows, comments on the Company’s performance and other relevant information, prepared under the responsibility of 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 Company’s 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 review, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the Quarterly Information (ITR) referred to in paragraph 1 for it to be in accordance with specific regulations established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to preparation of Quarterly Information, including CVM Ruling No. 469/08.

4. As mentioned in Note 2, Law No. 11638, approved on December 28, 2007 became effective on January 1, 2008. This Law amended, revoked and introduced new provisions to Law No. 6404/76 (Brazilian Corporation Law) and also changed accounting practices adopted in Brazil. Although the referred to Law is already effective, certain changes introduced by it depend on regulation by regulatory agencies to be applied by the companies. As such, in this transition phase, CVM, through CVM

Ruling No. 469/08, allowed non-application of all the provisions of Law No. 11638/07 in preparing the Quarterly Information (ITR). As such, the accounting information contained in the Quarterly Information (ITR) for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, was prepared according to specific CVM rulings and does not consider all the changes in accounting practices introduced by Law No. 11638/07. As described in Note 2, the application of additional CVM regulations on adoption of Law No.. 11638/07 did not generate significant impact on information related to prior periods, presented for purposes of comparison which, for this reason, has not been adjusted to include the changes in accounting practices introduced in 2008.

5. Accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the regulations issued by the Brazilian

Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR), including CVM Ruling No. 469/08 differ, in certain significant aspects, from US generally accepted accounting principles. Information related to the nature and effect of these differences are presented in Note 2 to the Quarterly Information (ITR).

2. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Financial Statements (Continued)

The financial statements are presented in compliance with the pronouncement NPC 27 – Accounting Statements – Presentation and Disclosures, from the Brazilian Independent Auditors Institute – IBRACON, approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission – CVM, provisions contained in the Brazilian Corporation Law, the Plan of Accounts prepared by the National Agency of Civil Aviation - ANAC, the complementary rules from CVM, and the accounting practices applied on a consistent basis for the financial year ending in 2007. The authorization for the conclusion of the preparation of these consolidated financial statements occurred in the Board of Directors Meeting of August 6, 2008.

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.

On December 14, 2006, VRG started its operations 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.

Law No. 11,638/07

The Quarterly Information was prepared and is presented based on the same accounting practices adopted in the preparation of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, applied on a consistent basis, except for the change in accounting practice resulting from application of present value discount in certain accounts due to the partial adoption of Law No. 11,638/07, as described below.

Law No. 11,639/07, approved on December 28, 2007, amended, revoked and introduced new provisions related to the preparation of financial statements in Brazilian Corporations Law (Law No. 6,404/76), from the year started on January 1, 2008, aiming at updating Brazilian Corporation Law to enable convergence of accounting practices adopted in Brazil with the practices defined by international accounting standards issued by the “International Accounting Standards Board – IASB”.

Law No. 11,638/07 (Continued)

On May 2, 2008, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) issued Ruling No. 469/08 on the implementation of Law No. 11,638/07, which enables companies to immediately apply all accounting provisions contained in the new law when providing Quarterly Information (ITRs) for 2008 year or to add explanatory notes to ITRs disclosing alterations that may have impacts on the financial statements for 2008 year, and estimate the possible effects on shareholders' equity and results for the period.

The Company’s management decided to follow the partial application of Law No. 11,638/07 in the presentation of Quarterly Information – ITRs, to the minimum extent required by CVM Ruling No. 469, issued on May 2, 2008.

The Company’s management identified that, among the items of which the partial or total application is mandatory as of the first Quarterly Information of 2008, adjustments to present value have impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company assessed situations in which there may be a difference on the date of initial recognition between nominal value and future cash flows value discounted by a market interest rate. The assessment resulted in the adjustment of certain noncurrent accounts receivable arising from renegotiations with leasing companies, whose adjustments net of tax effects were considered not material. For December 31, 2008, considering the assumption that no significant changes will occur in the business, the effects may be similar. The effects of the discount to present value of accounts receivable and payable on shareholders’ equity and the statement of income were considered not to be material, as such, they were not recorded. In the sales of tickets financed by customers, revenues were already recorded by the value of the ticket not including any charges resulting from parceling elected by customers.

As mentioned in Note 20, the Company maintains a stock option plan granted to employees and already discloses the same information required in compliance with U.S. GAAP in its financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The accounting of stock options of shares has not yet been standardized by the CVM. The Company estimates, based on the criteria of U.S. GAAP, which are similar to IFRS 2 – Share Based Payment of IASB, that the results and shareholders’ equity for the year ending December 31, 2008 would be reduced by approximately R$ 2,150 (R$ 3,702 in 2007) if recording of the compensation expenses by means of stock options exercise were required in 2008.

Law No. 11,638/07 (Continued)

The Company believes that the other minimum requirements of CVM Ruling No. 469 have no effect on its financial statements since the Company’s investments were not affected by the changed rule for valuation of investments in affiliates; it did not make transactions involving premiums received on issuing debentures, donations or investment grants and does not adopt revaluation of assets as accounting practice.

Additionally to the minimum requirements of CVM Ruling No. 469, the Company estimated, based on a preliminary analysis, the other changes to be applied in the preparation of its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2008, due to the Law No. 11,638/07, considering the technical pronouncements and standards existing on the date of approval of the Quarterly Information for the quarter ended June 30, 2008; as well as international standards. The changes identified and described below might have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, which will be presented in comparison with 2007 amounts so that the two years be presented in compliance with the same accounting practices.

As mentioned in Note 19, the Company has operating leasing contracts, which will be eligible for being recorded as depreciable asset in property and equipment against the existing obligation in the estimated amount of R$ 980,253. Previously, the recording was made upon payment consideration accounted for as leasing expenses. The Company estimates that this change of accounting practice, when applied retrospectively in the financial statements of the year ended on December 31, 2007, could increase shareholders’ equity by approximately R$ 26,000 and net income for the same year by approximately R$ 25,000, net of tax effects. The estimates were made considering that application of Pronouncement IAS 17 – Leases from IASB to the economic nature of transactions will result in differences similar to those existing between the statutory financial statements and the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Law No. 11,638/07 (Continued)

The Company also evaluated the definition of new criteria for classification and valuation of investments in financial instruments, including derivatives, and in credit rights and credit securities and did not identify material impacts considering that the Company had already been adopting accounting practices aligned with international standards for measuring and recording financial instruments, as described in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and in the present Quarterly Information - ITR.

The following table gives a summary of best estimate of the effects of Law No. 11,638/07 on consolidated shareholders’ equity and consolidated net income for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008.

Law No. 11,638/07 (Continued)

Besides the adjustments with effects on net income and shareholders' equity, the Company identified reclassifications between permanent asset items arising from the creation of an Intangible subgroup in its accounts to record the rights based on intangibles, which include goodwill and certain items previously classified in property, and equipment. The reclassifications will be recorded in the financial statements for the year and are summarized below:

Certain reclassifications and write-off of deferred assets will also be made based on detailed analysis of items classified in this subgroup

The Company was already presenting quarterly statements of its cash flows and statement of added value in its annual financial statements. Since the statement of changes in financial position is no longer required by Law No. 11,638/07, that disclosure has been discontinued.

Law No. 11,638/07 (Continued)

In addition, the subsidiary VRG has a mileage program, whose accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP differs significantly from the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, requiring accounting of the obligations of this program based on the fair value of miles issued to clients of the program. In the preliminary evaluation by the Company, Law No. 11,638/07 did not change the accounting practices adopted in Brazil related to this subject. However, international standards are migrating to an accounting standard closer to U.S. GAAP and it is possible that in the near future new pronouncements will also come to change this accounting practice for purposes of preparing Company’s statutory financial statements. The Company will continue evaluating the effects of new pronouncements and future regulations applicable to the preparation of its December 31, 2008 financial statements.

Effects of new pronouncements

On November 1, 2007, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission - CVM approved the pronouncement CPC-01 – Accounting for the Impairment of Assets that requires an analysis of the recoverability of property and equipment, intangible and deferred assets. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

On January 29, 2008, the Securities Commission - CVM approved the pronouncement CPC-02 from the Accounting Pronouncements Committee about the effects of changes in exchange rates and currency translation of financial statements that will come into effect on January 1, 2009. The CPC-02 determines how to include transactions in foreign currency and overseas operations in the Brazilian entity financial statements, as well as translate the financial statements of overseas entities into the presentation currency of financial statements in Brazil for purposes of recording equity pickup, full and proportional consolidation of the financial statements and also how to translate the Brazilian entity financial statements into another currency. The CPC-02 introduces the concept of functional currency that was not previously observed by the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. According to the new concepts, the Company concluded that the functional currency of the parent company is the Real, same currency as that in which the Company maintains its accounting records and presents its financial statements. Regarding its overseas subsidiaries, the Company believes that, for not have an economic and administrative independence they correspond to an extension of the activities of the Company in Brazil. The Company is assessing the effects from applying CPC 02 on its financial statements including its retrospective application.

Differences in accounting practices between financial statements prepared in BRGAAP and under USGAAP

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 Company’s 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 June 30, 2008, the net income for the period, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil (BRGAAP), was R$ 115,617 lower (R$ 192,445 at June 30, 2007) and the shareholders’ equity presented in the Company’s financial statements as per Brazilian Corporation Law was R$ 80,942 lower (R$ 35,332 at March 31, 2008) in comparison with the financial statements prepared under USGAAP.

As of June 30, 2008, reconciliation of net income and shareholders’ equity is as follows:

    Shareholders’     
    Equity    Net Income 
     
As per Brazilian Corporation Law    2,011,647    (290,865)
Mileage program    (22,058)   6,873 
Maintenance deposits    331,436    9,082

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$ 192.703 at June 30, 2008 (R$ 188.649 at March 31, 2008) 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.

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 Company’s performance indicators that assume the achievement of the Company, its business units and individual performance goals. At June 30, 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 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.

The stock option transactions are summarized below:

    Stock    Weighted average 
    options    price exercised 
   
Outstanding at March 31, 2008    432,153    48,38 
 Canceled    (26,777)   50,00 
Outstanding at June 30, 2008    405,376    48,29 
 
   
Quantity of options to be exercised at March 31, 2008    91,013    44,97 
Quantity of options to be exercised at June 30, 2008    84,082    44,86 

The weighted average fair value of the outstanding stock options is R$ 22.28 at June 30, 2008 (R$ 24.53 at March 31, 2008) and was estimated based on the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model, assuming a 2.90 % dividend payment, an estimated volatility of 49.13%, a weighted average risk free rate of 11.81 % and average maturity of 3.46 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$ 547 lower (R$ 417 in sencond quarter of 2007 and R$ 1,562 in the year of 2007).

21. 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.

a) Fuel price risk

Airlines are exposed to aircraft fuel price change effects. Aircraft fuel consumption in the second quarter of 2008 and 2007 represented approximately 41.8% and 38.6% 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 June 30, 2008 and 2007, are summarized as follows (in thousands, except when indicated):

    06.30.2008    03.31.2008 
   
Fair value of derivative financial instruments at year end    R$ 25,060    R$ 16,600 
Average term (months)   3   
Hedged volume (barrels)   2,562,000    1,456,000 
 
Period ended June 30:    2008    2007 
   
Gains with hedge effectiveness recognized as aircraft fuel expenses    R$ 35,787   
Gains (Losses) on hedge ineffectiveness recognized as financial expenses    R$ (908)   R$ 2,428 
Current percentage of hedged consumption (during the period)   55%    56% 

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments for short and long-term time frames and holds positions for future months. At June 30, 2008 the Company has a combination of purchased call options, collar structures, and swap agreements in place to hedge approximately 55% and 19% of its aircraft fuel requirements for the third quarter of 2008 and fourth quarter, at average oil equivalent price of approximately US$ 131.91 and US$ 132.72 per barrel.

21. 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.

At June 30, 2008, the Company recognized R$ 35,787 (US$ 22,481) of gains in fuel expenses, net, related to the effectiveness of terminated hedge contracts and R$ 908 (US$ 570) of net losses in financial expenses, related to the ineffectiveness of its hedges and losses in accounting of certain hedge instruments. At June 30, 2008 there was an unrealized fuel hedge gain of R$ 18,115 (R$4,410 in March 31, 2008) 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):

    06.30.2008    03.31.2008

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 June 30, 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) for the instruments not considered as hedge while those that are considered hedge, the effective portions of the fair value are registered on shareholders’ equity until the date when the cash flow hedge impact the result.

d) Interest rate risk(Continued)

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company settled interest swap-lock derivatives to protect itself from oscillations of international interest rates. On June 30 2008, for financial instruments designed as cash flow hedges, the Company had contracts in the nominal amount of R$ 96,429 (US$ 60,575) and recognized R$ 182 (US$ 114), net of taxes in “comprehensive income”

For interest rate derivatives not designated as hedges, on June 30 2008, the Company had contracts in the nominal amount of R$ 309,625 (US$ 194,500) and recognized R$ 5,992 (US$ 3,816) of net gains resulting from market value fluctuations were recognized in financial income.

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 June 30, 2008, the nominal value of Interbank Deposit futures contracts with the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) totaled R$ 1,500 (R$61,450 at June 30, 2007) with periods of up to 16 months, with a fair market value of R$ 1 (R$ 24 at June 30, 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 June 30, 2008, the total amount invested in boxes was R$ 5,673 with average term of 461 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 June 30, 2008, the notional amount of fixed-rate swaps to CDI was R$ 5,600 with a market value of R$ 207 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.

22. 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 June 30, 2008 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    5,851,821    3,675,998 
Civil Liability per occurrence/aircraft    2,785,825    1,750,000 
Warranty – Hull/War    5,851,821    3,675,998 
Inventories    318,380    200,000 

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.

23. Subsequent Event

On July 30, 2008, the Company, in compliance with Paragraph 4, Article 157, Law no. 6.404/76 and CVM Instruction no. 358/02, submitted to the National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac) a request for authorization for a corporate restructuring (“the Reorganization”) of its subsidiaries, Gol Transportes Aéreos S.A. (“GTA”) and VRG Linhas Aéreas S.A. (“VRG”), aiming to combine them into a single airline company which will respect VRG and GTA’s current rights and obligations, maintaining the “GOL” and “VARIG” brands. The proposed Reorganization aims to optimize the group operational structure, increase the financial and operational efficiency and improve service offerings.

The acquisition of VRG by GTI S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of GTA, was approved by the Brazilian Antitrust Agency (Cade) on June 25, 2008. The effective consummation of the Reorganization is dependent upon Anac’s approval, under the terms of Article 186 of the Brazilian Aeronautics Code and other preceding conditions.
