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 Aéras Inteligentes S.A. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2005 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with 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 to 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, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders equity for the year then ended not presented herein, and in our report dated February 22, 2005, 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, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

1. Business Overview

GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (the Company or GLAI) is the parent company of GOL Transportes Aéreos S.A. (GOL), a low-fare, low-cost airline operating in Brazil providing frequent service on routes between all of Brazil’s major cities. GOL focuses on increasing the growth and profitability of its business by popularizing air travel and stimulating and meeting demand for simple, safe and affordable air travel in South America for both business and leisure passengers, while maintaining the lowest costs in the airline industry worldwide.

GOL commenced operations on January 15, 2001 and, as of September 30, 2005, had a fleet of 38 aircraft, consisting of 21 Boeing 737-700, 8 Boeing 737-800 Next Generation and 9 Boeing 737-300 aircraft. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company inaugurated 1 new destination – Boa Vista (RO) – increasing the number of cities served to 41 (September 30, 2004 – 33) and airports served to 43 (September 30, 2004 – 35), in Brazil and Argentina.

In January 2005, the Company obtained authorization by the Comissão de Estudos Relativos à Navegação Aérea (CERNAI) to operate regularly-scheduled flights from Brazil to Santa Cruz de La Sierra, Bolivia, which are expected to begin during the fourth quarter of 2005. In May 2005, the Company obtained authorization from the CERNAI to operate regularly-scheduled flights from Brazil to Asunción, Paraguay and Montevideo, Uruguay, which are expected to begin during the fourth quarter of 2005.

On April 28, 2005 the Company successfully completed a global public offering of preferred shares as further detailed in note 7.

2. Basis of Presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), using Brazilian Reais as functional and reporting currency. The average exchange rates for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004 were R$2.3434 and R$2.9783, respectively, per US dollar. The exchange rate at September 30, 2005 was R$ 2.2222 and R$ 2.6544 at December 31, 2004. The accounting principles adopted under USGAAP differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in Brazil (“Brazilian GAAP”), which the Company uses to prepare its statutory financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.

The results of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2005. The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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, 2004.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s financial statements filled with the SEC.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The more significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those adopted in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company's short-term investment portfolio consists of traditional fixed maturities securities, which are readily convertible into cash and are primarily highly liquid in nature. Certain of the investments which have original maturities of 90 days or less, when purchased, are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Other short-term investments are classified as trading securities, as defined by the FASB Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and are carried at their fair values based upon the quoted market prices at period end. Accordingly, changes in values of such investments are included in interest income.

Advertising. Advertising costs, which are included in sales and marketing expenses, are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 amounted to R$ 19,626 and R$ 16,448 respectively.

Stock options. The Company currently expects to adopt SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006. In addition, the Company has not yet determined the financial statement impact of adopting SFAS 123R for periods beyond 2005.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per common and preferred share as if the fair value method to measure stock-based compensation had been applied as required under the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended:

The fair value for these stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model assuming an expected dividend yield of 2%, expected volatility of approximately 39%, weighted average risk-free interest rate of 17%, and an expected average life of 1.5 years.

Derivative financial instruments. The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments utilizing Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended. To help mitigate the Company’s overall foreign currency and fuel volatility risks, the Company primarily uses foreign exchange and fuel contracts. These instruments primarily consist of purchased call options, collar structures, and fixed-price swap agreements, and are accounted for as cash-flow hedges, as defined by SFAS 133. Since there is not a futures market for Brazilian jet fuel prices, the Company uses crude oil derivatives to hedge its exposure to the volatility of fuel prices. The Company believes there is strong correlation between crude oil and Brazilian jet fuel prices and measures the effectiveness of the hedging instruments in offsetting changes to those prices, as required by SFAS 133. The fair value of fuel derivative instruments, depending on the type of instrument, was determined by the use of present value methods or standard option value models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets. All changes in fair value that are considered to be effective, as defined, are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” until the underlying exchange exposure is realized and fuel is consumed. See Note 10 for further information on SFAS 133 and financial derivative instruments.

8. Stock Option Plans

At shareholders meetings held on May 25 and December 9, 2004, the Company’s shareholders approved an executive stock option plan for key senior executive officers. On April 25, 2004, the Company issued to executive officers stock options to purchase up to 937,412 of its preferred shares at an exercise price of R$3.04 per share (determined based on the book value of GOL before the creation of GLAI). Fifty percent of the options vested on October 25, 2004, with the remaining 50% vesting at the end of each quarter ending subsequent to October 25, 2004, on a pro rata basis, through the second quarter of 2006. Each option will expire two years after the vesting date. The fair value of share at the date of the grant was R$24.50. In connection with the initial grant of preferred stock options, the Company recorded deferred stock compensation of R$20,117, representing the difference between the exercise price of the options and the deemed fair value of the preferred stock.

On December 9, 2004, the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option plan for employees. Under this plan the stock options granted to employees cannot exceed 5% of total outstanding shares. Initially, 87,418 of the Company’s preferred shares have been reserved for issuance under this plan. On January 19, 2005, the Company issued stock options to 17 key employees to purchase up to 87,418 of its preferred shares at an exercise price of R$33.06 per share, (the volume weighted average price for the 60 previous trading days). The options vest at a rate of 1/5 per year, and can be exercised up to 10 years after the grant date. The fair value of each share at the date of the grant was R$ 37.96. In connection with the initial grant of preferred stock options, the Company recorded deferred stock compensation of R$ 428, representing the difference between the exercise price of the options and the deemed fair value of the preferred stock.

10. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk

At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company’s primary monetary assets were cash equivalents, short-term investments and assets related to aircraft leasing operations. The Company’s primary monetary liabilities are related to aircraft leasing operations. 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.

Financial instruments that expose the Company to credit risk involve mainly cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash deposits with highly-rated financial institutions. Credit risk on accounts receivable relates to amounts receivable from the major international credit card companies and travel agencies. These receivables are short-term and the majority of them settle within 30 days.

The Company’s revenue is generated in Brazilian reais (and a small portion in Argentine pesos from flights between Argentina and Brazil), however its liabilities, particularly those related to aircraft leasing, are US dollar-denominated. The Company’s currency exchange exposure at September 30, 2005 is as set forth below:

10. Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risk (Continued)

a) Fuel

The Company is exposed to the effect of changes in the price and availability of aircraft fuel. To manage these risks, the Company enters into crude oil option and swap agreements. 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 price. The Company accounts for its fuel hedge derivative instruments as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. The change in fair value of the Company's financial derivative instruments at September 30, 2005, related to contracts to buy up to 180,000 barrels of crude oil in the nominal amount of approximately US$ 12.4 million, with longest remaining term of one month, was a net liability of approximately R$ 1.0 million, which was classified in “other current liabilities” in the Balance Sheet.

Due to the volatility in markets for crude oil and crude oil related products, the Company is unable to predict the amount of ineffectiveness each period, which may result in increased volatility in the Company's results. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recognized approximately R$ 4.0 million gain recorded in operating expense related to fuel derivative contracts in accordance with SFAS 133.

b) Exchange rates

The Company is exposed to the effect of changes in the USD exchange rate. Exchange exposure relates to amounts payable arising from USD-denominated and USD-linked expenses and payments. To manage these risks, the Company uses USD options and futures contracts. The Company accounts for its foreign currency futures derivative instruments as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. The change in the fair value of the Company's financial derivative instruments at September 30, 2005, related to option and future contracts of U.S. dollar currency in the nominal amount of US$ 19.3 million, with a longest remaining term of nine months, was a net reduction of current assets of R$ 4.6 million (equivalent to US$ 2.1 million) classified in “other current assets.”

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, R$ 1.7 million in exchange rate hedging activities were recorded as other expense in accordance with SFAS 133.

12. 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, our preferred shares are entitled to receive distributions of their paid-in amount in a liquidation 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 effects of 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.
