MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTS ON 2Q06 RESULTS 

In the second quarter of 2006, GOL demonstrated its ability to significantly grow capacity while reducing costs and maintaining world-class profitability and high quality service, even during periods of intense price competition and extremely high fuel prices. “GOL remains committed to its virtuous cycle of maintaining low costs, allowing us to offer the lowest fares and achieve the highest load factors in the Brazilian market, thereby driving industry-leading profitability,” commented Constantino de Oliveira Junior, GOL’s CEO. Mr. Oliveira added, “Through the addition of aircraft and flight frequencies during the quarter, GOL significantly increased its domestic market share and further consolidated its position as the second-largest domestic airline in Brazil.”

GOL increased load factors and aircraft utilization rates, while maintaining market cost leadership. Demand for GOL’s passenger air transportation services grew at high rates during the quarter, with passengers transported increasing 36.8% over 2Q05. During the quarter, GOL’s load factor increased 3.3 percentage points to 75.9%; aircraft utilization was at 13.9 block hours per day (increasing 1.5% over 2Q05), while operating costs per ASK decreased approximately 1%. Through strict fuel management practices and fuel hedges, fuel costs per available seat kilometer (ASK) decreased 1.9% year-over-year and helped to lower GOL’s operating cost per seat kilometer (CASK) to 15.32 cents (R$). Cost reductions were also driven by increased scale, productivity and stage length; reductions in sales, marketing and aircraft leasing expenses; and an 11.7% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US dollar, offset by higher scheduled maintenance expenses. The 21% increase in employees over 1Q06, related to planned capacity expansion, was balanced by higher overall productivity.

Increased passenger volumes and a reduction in CASK, resulted in an operating income increase of 55.6% in the year-over-year comparison. The Company has hedged approximately 54% of its fuel price exposure as well as 33% of its U.S. dollar exposure for 3Q06, and 15% of its fuel exposure for 4Q06. “Our absolute market cost leadership is key to our virtuous cycle, and allows us to provide the lowest fares and the best customer value proposition in the market,” commented Richard Lark, GOL’s CFO.

In terms of future perspectives, besides maintaining high levels of productivity and profitability, short-term growth will be driven by the addition of new aircraft, new destinations and new frequencies. The addition of six Boeing 737 aircraft to the fleet in the third quarter of 2006 will increase seat capacity by approximately 45% year-over-year.

GOL remains committed to its strategy of profitable expansion through a low cost structure and high quality customer service. “We are very proud that more than 44 million passengers have chosen to fly GOL, and we continue to make every effort to offer them the best in air travel: new planes, frequent flights in the main markets, an ever-expanding integrated route system and lower prices; all of which is delivered by our dedicated team of employees who are key to our success," stated Mr. Oliveira. “By remaining focused on our business model, while continuing to grow, be innovative and provide the lowest fares, we will continue to create value for our customers, employees and shareholders.”

REVENUES 

Net operating revenues, principally revenues from passenger transportation, increased 50.1% to R$844.0mm, primarily due to higher revenue passenger kilometers (RPK), offset by a lower yield. RPK growth was driven by a 34.6% increase in departures, a 14.7% increase in stage length and an increase in load factor from 72.6% to 75.9% . RPKs grew 57.3% to 3,523mm, and revenue passengers grew 36.8% to 4.3mm.

Average fares increased 9.7% from R$173.39 to R$190.23. Yields declined 4.7% to 22.33 cents (R$) per passenger kilometer, principally due to a 14.7% increase in average stage length coupled with intense price price competition during the quarter.

Complementing net operating revenues, cargo transportation activities primarily contributed to the expansion of other operating revenues, which increased from R$37.7mm to R$57.2mm.

The 50.4% year-over-year capacity expansion, represented by ASKs, facilitated the addition of 62 new daily flight frequencies (including 22 night flights) and 1 new destination in 2Q06. The addition of 5.3 average operating aircraft during the quarter (from 43.0 to 48.3 aircraft) drove the ASK increase.

Operating revenue per available seat kilometer (RASK) remained stable at R$18.19 cents in 2Q06 (vs. R$18.22 cents in 2Q05).

The growth in RPKs resulted in a higher domestic market share for GOL, reaching 35% in the end of 2Q06, compared to 29% in the end of 2Q05. Through its regular international flights to Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Rosario (Argentina), Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia), Montevideo (Uruguay) and Asuncion (Paraguay), GOL achieved an international market share of 6% (share of Brazilian airline RPK) in the same period. Approximately 7% of GOL’s total RPKs were related to international passenger traffic.

OPERATING EXPENSES 

Total CASK decreased 0.9%, to 15.32 cents (R$), due to higher productivity, a longer average stage length, a greater spreading of fixed costs over a higher number of ASKs, and also by a decrease in aircraft fuel expenses per ASK. Operating expenses per ASK decreased by 0.2%, excluding fuel, in the quarter. Total operating expenses increased 49%, reaching R$711.8mm, due to higher fuel prices, increased scheduled maintenance, and the expansion of our operations (fleet and employee expansion, a higher volume of fuel consumption, landing fees and marketing activities). Fuel price increases during 2Q06 accounted for more than 30% of the R$91mm increase in fuel expenses, with the remainder accounted for by increased fuel consumption. Breakeven load factor increased 2.4 percentage points to 64.0% versus 61.6% in 2Q05.

Results from GOL’s operating expense (jet fuel price and USD exchange rate) hedging programs are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 133), “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities.”

The breakdown of our costs and operational expenses for 2Q06, 2Q05 and 1Q06 is as follows:

Page 5 of 20


Salaries, wages and benefits expenses per available seat kilometer (ASK) increased 6.0% to 1.94 cents (R$), mainly due to a 6.0% cost of living increase on salaries. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased 81% to 7,229, related to capacity expansion.

Aircraft fuel expenses per ASK decreased 1.9% over 2Q05 to 6.12 cents (R$), due to improved fuel economies and gains on fuel hedges, offset by a 10.8% increase in fuel price per liter. The increase in average fuel price per liter over 2Q05 was primarily due to the 32.6% increase in the international price for crude oil (WTI), and a 30% increase in Gulf Coast jet fuel prices, partially offset by the 11.7% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. dollar. The Company has hedged approximately 54% and 15% of its fuel requirements for 3Q06 and 4Q06, respectively.

Aircraft rent per ASK decreased 21.8% to 1.58 cents (R$) in 2Q06, primarily due to a high aircraft utilization rate (14 block hours per day), and an 11.7% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S dollar vs. 2Q05.

Sales and marketing expenses per ASK decreased 12.5% to 2.23 cents (R$) primarily due to reductions in commissions, an increase in ticket sales on GOL’s website and higher aircraft utilization rates. GOL booked a majority of its ticket sales through a combination of its website (82.4% during 2Q06) and its call center (10.5% during 2Q06).

Landing fees per ASK decreased 1.4% to 0.68 cents (R$), due to increased average stage length and to a higher aircraft utilization rate.

Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses per ASK increased 35.9% to 0.87 cents (R$), as a result of an increase in ground services (landings increased 34.6%) and an increase in consulting and technology services, partially offset by increased average stage length.

Maintenance, materials and repairs per ASK increased 114.7% to 0.73 cents (R$), primarily due to a higher number of scheduled maintenance services during 2Q06, partially offset by a 11.7% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar. Main expenses during the quarter were related to the scheduled maintenance of five engines, in the amount of R$11.1mm, the use of spare parts inventory and repair of rotable materials, in the amount of R$10.6mm.

Depreciation per ASK increased 25.9% to 0.34 cents (R$), due to a higher amount of fixed assets, particularly spare parts inventory, and the increase of technology equipment, due to our expansion of operations.

Other operating expenses per ASK were 0.83 cents (R$), a 5.7% decrease when compared to the same period of the previous year, due to a decrease in insurance expenses, cancelled flights expenses, lodging of flight crews and direct passenger expenses. Insurance expenses, at 0.14 cents (R$) per ASK (R$6.5mm total) decreased 42.3%, due to a reduction in average premium rates, a 11.7% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar, and a higher aircraft utilization rate.

COMMENTS ON EBITDA AND EBITDAR1 

The impact of a 0.03 cent (R$) RASK decrease was offset by a CASK decrease of 0.14 cents (R$), resulted in an increase of EBITDA per available seat kilometer to 3.21 cents (R$) in 2Q06. Compared to 1Q06, EBITDA per ASK decreased 41.0% . 2Q06 EBITDA was affected by the 4.7% decrease in yields, and totaled R$148.2mm in the period compared to R$93.3mm in 2Q05 (a 58.8% increase) and R$236.3mm in 1Q06 (a 37.3% decrease).

As GOL leases all of its aircraft, we believe that EBITDAR, equivalent to EBITDA before aircraft rent expenses (which are USD-denominated) is a useful measure of relative operating performance. On a per available seat kilometer basis, EBITDAR was 4.79 cents (R$) in 2Q06, compared to 5.05 cents (R$) in 2Q05. EBITDAR amounted to R$221.6mm in 2Q06, compared to R$155.7mm in the same period last year and R$302.8mm in 1Q06.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent) are presented as supplemental information because we believe they are useful indicators of our operating performance. We usually present EBITDAR, in addition to EBITDA, because aircraft leasing represents a significant operating expense of our business, and we believe the impact of this expense should also be considered. However, neither figure should be considered in isolation, as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with US GAAP, BR GAAP or as a measure of a company’s profitability. In addition, our calculations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

FINANCIAL RESULTS 

Net financial income increased R$3.5mm. Interest expense increased R$18.4mm primarily due to the increase in long-term debt and a higher amount of short-term working capital debt related to increased operations. Interest income decreased R$0.4mm primarily due to a 3.9 pp decrease in average Brazilian interest rates (as measured by the CDI rate). The increase in other gains was primarily due to R$16.5 mm in fuel hedge gains.

OUTLOOK 

GOL will continue to invest in its successful low-cost, low-fare business model. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our operations by adding new flights in Brazil, where sufficient market demand exists, and expanding into other high-traffic centers across South America. We expect to benefit from economies of scale and reduce our average non-fuel cost per available seat kilometer (CASK) as we add additional aircraft to a well-established and highly-efficient operating network, and as our Aircraft Maintenance Center becomes fully-operational. We anticipate a solid third quarter, thanks to the dedicated effort of our employees to improve productivity throughout the Company, and an improved revenue environment.

The scheduled addition of six new aircraft to our fleet in the third quarter of 2006 should allow a 45% increase in available seat capacity over 3Q05. For the third quarter, we expect a load factor in the range of 75-77%, with yields in the range of R$26-28 cents. We expect a stable foreign exchange rate environment for the near term, supported by good economic fundamentals in the Brazilian economy. We expect that high oil prices will continue to impact our fuel costs, but will be partially mitigated by our hedging program. For the third quarter, we expect non-fuel CASK to be in the range of R$9-10 cents.

Financial guidance for 2006 is based on GOL’s planned capacity expansion and the expected high demand for our passenger transportation services, driven by strong Brazilian economic fundamentals and GOL’s demand-stimulating low fares. We expect full-year load factors to be in the range of 75% (a one point increase over previous guidance). Our projections are for a 2006 full-year EPS in the range of R$3.90 to R$4.30, representing annual earnings growth of over 50%. For 2007, we expect to add at least 13 aircraft to the fleet and expand capacity by at least 30% to adequately serve expected demand and add new markets. We plan to continue to popularize air travel in South America through expansion, technological innovation, improved operating efficiency, strict cost management, the lowest fares and high quality passenger service.
