PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA

We prepare our consolidated annual financial statements and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information in accordance with Law No. 6,404/76, as amended (which we refer to as Brazilian corporation
law), accounting standards issued by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Accountants (Instituto dos Auditores Independentes do Brasil) and the standards and procedures established by the CVM. We refer to these accounting practices,
standards and procedures as accounting practices adopted in Brazil or Brazilian GAAP. Our consolidated annual financial statements and unaudited interim consolidated financial information are also prepared in accordance with ANAC Administrative
Decree No. 33 of January 13, 2005, which sets domestic price levels for embarkation, parking, stopovers and unified prices for the use of airport infrastructure, or the ANAC Account Plan. Our consolidated annual financial statements also include the
reconciliation of shareholders deficit and net income (loss) to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. Brazilian GAAP differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. For a summary of certain
significant differences, see note 29 of our consolidated annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, included elsewhere in this annual report.  For
a summary of the reconciliation from Brazilian GAAP to U.S. GAAP in our consolidated annual financial statements and unaudited financial information see Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  A. Operating Results 
Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, and our audited consolidated annual financial statements at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2007, included elsewhere in this annual report.

Our audited consolidated annual financial statements at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 which have been audited by our independent registered public
accounting firm, are included in this annual report.

We maintain our books and records in reais.

All references in this annual report to numbers of our common and preferred shares reflect a share split which took place on May 16, 2005, pursuant to which holders of our existing shares received two shares of the same
class and type for each share held.

This annual report contains translations of various realamounts, before rounding, into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for your convenience. You should not construe these translations as representations
by us that the real amounts actually represent these U.S. dollar amounts or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rates indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, we have translated the realamounts using a rate of R$1.77 to US$1.00,
the U.S. dollar selling rate at December 31, 2007 published by the Central Bank on its electronic information system, SISBACEN, using transaction PTAX 800, option 5. On May 30, 2008, the U.S. dollar selling rate published by the Central Bank on
SISBACEN, using transaction PTAX 800, option 5, was R$1.63 to US$1.00.

The information contained in this annual report relating to Brazil and the Brazilian economy is based on data published by the Central Bank, government agencies and other independent sources. Data and statistics
regarding the Brazilian civil aviation markets are based on publicly available data published by ANAC. Data and statistics regarding the international civil aviation markets are based on publicly available data published by the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA). We also make statements in this annual report about our competitive position and market share in, and the market size of, the Brazilian airline industry. We have
made these statements on the basis of statistics and other information from third-party sources that we believe are reliable. Although we have no reason to believe any of this information or these reports are inaccurate in any material respect, we
have not independently verified the competitive position, market share and market size or market growth data provided by third parties or by industry or general publications.

Certain figures in this document have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.

- our plans relating to investments and capital expenditures;
- variations in interest rates, inflation and the exchange rate relating to the real(with respect to both potential depreciation and appreciation of the real);

The words believe, expect, continue, understand, hope, estimate, will, may, might, should,
intend and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements and estimates. Such statements refer only to the date on which they were expressed and we assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any such
estimates resulting from new information or any other events. As a result of the inherent risks and uncertainties involved, the forward-looking statements included in this annual report may not be accurate and our future results of operations and
performance may differ materially from those set out for a number of different reasons. No forward-looking statement in this annual report is a guarantee of future performance and each estimate involves risks and uncertainties.

|(2) | The data relating to both our preferred and common shares has been adjusted to reflect the share split which took place on May 16, 2005, pursuant to which all holders of our existing shares received two shares of the same class and type for each
      share held.

|(3) | The rights of preferred shareholders were altered on May 16, 2005. Previously, preferred shares had carried the rights to a dividend 10% higher than that distributed to holders of common shares. From May 16, 2005 however preferred shares carried the
      same dividend rights as common shares. The terms Previous and Current preferred shares used in the above table reflect this change in entitlement.

Exchange Rates

Until January 1999, there were two legal foreign exchange markets in Brazil, the commercial rate exchange market, or the Commercial Market, and the floating rate exchange market, or the Floating Market. The Commercial
  Market was reserved primarily for foreign trade transactions and transactions that generally required prior approval from Brazilian monetary authorities, such as the purchase and sale of registered investments by foreign persons and related
  remittances of funds abroad (including the payment of principal of and interest on loans, notes, bonds and other debt instruments denominated in foreign currencies and duly registered with the Central Bank).  The Floating Market rate generally
  applied to specific transactions for which Central Bank approval was not required. Both the Commercial Market rate and the Floating Market rate were reported by the Central Bank on a daily basis. In January, 1999 the Brazilian government announced
  the unification of the exchange positions of the Brazilian financial institutions in the Commercial Market and the Floating Market, leading to a convergence in the pricing and liquidity of both markets.

On March 4, 2005, the Conselho Monetário Nacionalissued Resolution No. 3,265 and Resolution No. 3,266 (each of which became effective on March 14, 2005), pursuant to which several changes were introduced
  in the Brazilian foreign exchange regime, including (i) the unification of the Commercial Market and the Floating Market, and (ii) the relaxation of rules for the acquisition of foreign currency by Brazilian residents. It is expected that the
  Central Bank will introduce further regulations in relation to foreign exchange transactions as well as to payments and/or transfers of Brazilian currency between Brazilian residents and non-residents (such transfers being commonly known as
  International Transfer of Reais), including those made through so-called non-resident accounts (also known as CC5 accounts).

Investing in the ADSs or our preferred shares involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks set forth below. Our business, financial condition and results
  of operations may be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of the ADSs or our preferred shares may decrease due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are
  those that we currently believe may materially affect us.

Risks relating to Brazil

The Brazilian government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy. Brazilian political and economic conditions have a direct impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations
  and prospects as well as the trading price of the notes.

The Brazilian economy has been characterized by the significant involvement of the Brazilian government, which often changes monetary, credit, fiscal and other policies to influence Brazils economy. The Brazilian
  governments actions to control inflation and effect other policies have involved wage and price controls, depreciation of the real, controls over remittance of funds abroad, intervention by the Central Bank to affect base interest
  rates, and other measures. We have no control over, and cannot predict, what measures or policies the Brazilian government may take in the future. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the trading price of the
  notes may be adversely affected by changes in Brazilian government policies, as well as general economic factors, including, without limitation:

- variations in exchange rates;
- exchange control policies;
- fiscal policy and changes in tax laws;
- liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets;
- government control of production activities and oil refining; and
- other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments in or affecting Brazil.

We cannot predict what future fiscal, monetary, social security and other policies will be adopted by current or future Brazilian governments, or whether these policies will result in adverse consequences to the
  Brazilian economy, to our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects, or to the trading prices of our ADSs and preferred shares.

In addition, possible political crises may affect the confidence of investors and the public in general, which may result in economic deceleration and affect the trading prices of securities issued by Brazilian
  companies.

Exchange rate instability may have adverse effects on the Brazilian economy, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the trading price of our ADSs and preferred shares.

As a result of inflationary pressures, the Brazilian currency has depreciated frequently over the past decade.  Throughout this period, the Brazilian government has implemented various economic plans and used various
  exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini-devaluations (during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly), exchange controls, dual exchange rate markets and a floating exchange rate system.
  Although long-term depreciation of the realis generally linked to the rate of inflation in Brazil, depreciation of the realoccurring over shorter periods of time has resulted in significant variations in the exchange rate between the real, the U.S. dollar and other currencies. In 2002, the realfell 34.3% against the U.S. dollar, caused in part by political uncertainties involving the presidential election in Brazil and the global economic recession.
  Notwithstanding the fact that the realhas appreciated 13.4%, 9.5% and 17.2% against the U.S. dollar in 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively, there can be no guarantees as to whether the realwill depreciate or appreciate against the U.S.
  dollar in the future. The real/U.S. dollar exchange rate reported by the Central Bank on December 31, 2007 was R$1.7713 per U.S. dollar and on May 30, 2008 the exchange rate was R$1.6294 per U.S. dollar.

The majority of our revenues are denominated in reaisand a significant portion of our operating expenses (such as fuel, aircraft and engine maintenance, aircraft leasing and insurance payments, parts and
  engines) are denominated in or linked to the U.S. dollar or other foreign currencies. In the event that we are unable to adjust our prices or to obtain protection through hedging transactions, a depreciation in the realwould reduce our
  profit margins and/or would cause operating losses arising as a result of increased costs or having obligations denominated in or linked to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies in respect of which we have not entered into hedging
  transactions). Devaluations in the realagainst the U.S. dollar or other foreign currencies also create inflationary pressures, which can adversely affect us by restricting our access to external financial markets and by leading to government
  intervention (including the implementation of recessionary policies to curb aggregate demand). Exchange rate instability may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our ADSs and preferred
  shares.

Inflation and certain measures by the Brazilian government to curb inflation have historically adversely affected the Brazilian economy and Brazilian securities market, and high levels of inflation in the future would adversely affect our
  business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the trading price of our ADSs and preferred shares.

Brazil has historically experienced extremely high rates of inflation. Inflation and some of the Brazilian governments measures taken in an attempt to curb inflation have had significant negative effects on the
  Brazilian economy generally.  Inflation, policies adopted to contain inflationary pressures and uncertainties regarding possible future governmental intervention have contributed to economic uncertainty and heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities market.

Since the introduction of the realin 1994, Brazils inflation rate has been substantially lower than in previous periods. However, inflationary pressures persist. According to the General Price Index
  (¥ndice Geral de Preços-Mercado, or IGP-M), Brazilian general price inflation rates were 1.2%, 3.8% and 7.7% in 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively. According to the National Consumer Price Index (¥ndice Nacional de
    Preços ao Consumidor Amplo, or IPCA), Brazilian price inflation rates were 5.7%, 3.1% and 4.5% in 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively.

Brazil may experience high levels of inflation in the future.  Inflationary pressures may lead to further intervention in the economy by the Brazilian government, including the introduction of policies that could
  adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the trading price of our ADSs and preferred shares.

In the event that Brazil experiences high inflation in the future, we may not be able to adjust the prices we charge to our passengers to offset the impact of inflation on our costs, leading to decreased net income.
  Inflationary pressures may also adversely affect our ability to access foreign financial markets, leading to adverse effects on our capital expenditure plans, or anticipate anti-inflation policies instituted by the Brazilian government that may harm
  our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects or adversely affect the trading price of our ADSs and preferred shares.

Developments and the perceptions of risks in other countries, especially emerging markets countries, may adversely affect the Brazilian economy, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the market price of
  Brazilian securities, including the trading price of our ADSs and preferred shares.

The market for securities issued by Brazilian companies is influenced by economic and market conditions in Brazil and, to varying degrees, market conditions in other Latin American and emerging market countries.
  Although economic conditions are different in each country, the reaction of investors to developments in one country may have a material adverse effect on the market value of securities of Brazilian companies. If there is a crisis in another
  emerging market country, investor demand for Brazilian securities, including our notes and preferred shares, may decline.  This may adversely affect the trading value of our ADSs and preferred shares and any such decline in trading value would
  create obstacles or otherwise impede our access to capital markets and financing for our future operations.

Variations in interest rates may have adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the trading price of our ADSs and preferred shares.

We are exposed to the risk of interest rate variations, principally in relation to the Long Term Interest Rate (Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo, or TJLP) and the Interbank Deposit Rate, or DI Rate, (in respect of
  loans denominated in reais) and the London Interbank Offer Rate, or LIBOR, (in respect of operating leases denominated in U.S. dollars).

Beginning in 2003, as inflationary pressures eased, the Conselho Monetário Nacional, the highest monetary regulatory body in the Brazilian government, decreased the TJLP.  The TJLP at December 31,
  2006 was 6.8%, and 6.25% at December 31, 2007. However, any increase in inflation or other macroeconomic pressures may lead the Conselho Monetário Nacionalto increase the TJLP.

In addition, as repayments under many of our operating leases are linked to LIBOR, we are exposed to the risk of variations in LIBOR. At December 31, 2007, the estimated future disbursements due on these operating lease
  contracts linked to LIBOR amounted to US$4,198 million.

In the event that the TJLP, the DI rate or LIBOR increase, we will be required to increase the amount of our repayments under our loans and we may not be able to adjust the prices we charge to offset the impact of these
  increases. If we are unable to adequately adjust our prices, our revenues would not be sufficient to offset the increased expenses pursuant to these loans and this would adversely affect our results of operations. Accordingly, such increases may
  adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the trading price of our ADSs and preferred shares.

Risks Relating to the Civil Aviation Industry and our Business

The regulatory structure of Brazilian civil aviation is undergoing change and we have not yet been able to evaluate the results of this change on our business and results of operations.

Scheduled air transportation services are considered public utilities in Brazil and, accordingly, are subject to extensive regulation by the Brazilian government.  The Brazilian civil aviation regulatory structure is
  undergoing changes designed to help restore the financial stability of certain Brazilian civil aviation companies that have experienced financial difficulties, in line with global trends. These regulatory authorities have therefore taken a more
  pro-active role in monitoring the development of the Brazilian civil aviation market, through, for example, establishing more rigorous criteria to be followed by air transport companies in creating new routes or increasing flight frequencies, aimed
  at preventing excess supply.  Various legislative initiatives have taken place, including the drafting of a bill to replace Law No. 7,565 of December 19, 1986, or the Brazilian Aeronautics Code, the submission of a new public policy regulation for
  civil aviation to the Ministry of Defense for approval and the establishment of ANAC, the national aviation agency that has replaced the Departamento de Aviação Civil, or DAC, as the principal regulatory body for Brazilian civil
  aviation. See Item 4. Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Regulation of the Brazilian Civil Aviation Industry  Rights to Operate Air Routes  Future legislation.

Operation of air transportation services as well as airport infrastructure is exclusive to the Brazilian government which may provide these services directly or through third parties by means of concessions or permits.
  Our concession to operate scheduled and public passenger and cargo air transportation was obtained on December 9, 1996 and is valid until December 9, 2011. We cannot assure you that we will be able to automatically renew our concession. See 
  Item 4. Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Regulation of the Brazilian Civil Aviation Industry  Overview  Air transportation services concession.

The importation of any new aircraft is subject to approval by the Commission for Coordination of Civil Air Transportation (Comissão de Coordenação de Transporte Aéreo Civil, or
  COTAC), a sub-department of ANAC.  Recently, ANAC has actively monitored developments in Brazils airline market and has taken certain restrictive measures that have helped to restore greater stability to the industry. Our growth plans include
  expanding into new markets, increasing flight frequency and expanding our fleet, which currently consists of 115 aircraft. Accordingly, our capacity to grow is dependent on receiving the necessary authorizations from ANAC, COTAC and the Bureau of
  International Relations (Superintendência de Relações Internacionais, or SRI). We cannot assure you that we will obtain all necessary authorizations in future and any failure to do so would require us to re-evaluate our
  strategies.

The Brazilian civil aviation structure may change significantly in the future and we may not be able to anticipate or evaluate how this change will affect our business and results of operations. We cannot assure you
  that these or other changes in Brazilian civil aviation regulations will not have an adverse effect on our business or results of operations. Any change that requires us to focus a significant level of resources on compliance with new aviation
  regulations, for example, would result in additional expenditure on compliance, consequently adversely affecting our results of operations.

In addition, our ability to increase prices to offset an increase in our fixed costs may be adversely affected in the event that the Brazilian civil aviation authorities impose any price control restrictions on air
  transportation services. If we are unable to increase prices sufficiently to offset such increases in fixed costs, this would adversely affect our results of operations.  Changes in the regulations issued by the Brazilian government or the
  occurrence of any of the above factors may increase our costs, limit our capacity to expand the number of our routes or adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Competition in both the domestic and international civil aviation markets may increase and the Brazilian government may intervene in the domestic market.

We face intense competition in both the domestic and international markets.  The Brazilian government has the power to authorize or deny the entry of new participants into the domestic market in which we operate, as
  well as the power to assume air transportation operations.  Accordingly, we may face greater competition from current or new participants in the Brazilian civil aviation market. The air transportation sector is highly sensitive to price discounting,
  particularly as a result of the arrival of low-cost airlines or airlines that have adopted predatory pricing policies. Other factors, such as flight frequency, schedule availability, brand recognition, and quality of services offered (such as
  loyalty programs, VIP airport lounges, in-flight entertainment and other amenities) also have a significant impact on competitiveness in the market. In addition, the acquisition of airline concessions in Brazil does not require significant financial
  investment and, as a result, the barriers to entering the domestic market are low. We cannot assure you that the Brazilian government will not assume air transport operations or as to whether current or new competitors in our markets will offer prices lower than ours, offer more attractive services than ours or increase the capacity of their routes in an effort to obtain greater market share. In the event that any of the foregoing events occurs, we cannot assure you as
  to whether the price of our fares, passenger traffic or our profit margins will be negatively affected. Any negative impact on our fares would lead to decreased net revenues and may require us to focus on cost-saving programs.

Substantial increases in fuel prices or the availability of sufficient quantities of fuel may harm the Brazilian civil aviation market and our businesses in the event that such increases cannot be passed on to passengers in our
  fares.

Fuel costs represent a significant portion of operating expenses for airlines in general and fuel prices have risen significantly in recent periods.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, fuel costs represented 32.2% of
  our costs for services rendered and our operating expenses.

Historically, fuel prices have been subject to significant variations in international prices, which in turn vary as a result of global political issues and global supply and demand. The availability of fuel is also
  subject to periods of market scarcity and surplus and is affected by the demand for gasoline and other petroleum derivatives. It is therefore not possible to predict the cost and availability of fuel in the future with any degree of certainty. In
  the event that the supply of fuel is reduced for any reason, we may need to increase our prices or reduce our scheduled services, which would adversely affect our net revenues. In addition, some of our competitors may be able to obtain fuel at
  better terms (with respect to both price and quality) than we are able.  Our hedging transactions (which currently cover a minimum of 30% and a maximum of 80% of our projected fuel consumption for up to a rolling 24 month period) or our margin for
  adjusting prices is unlikely to be sufficient to protect us from fuel price increases. If our competitors are able to obtain fuel on more competitive terms than us, they may be able to decrease their prices and obtain market share from us and this
  would adversely affect our results of operations.  Significant increases in fuel costs may harm our financial condition and results of operations in the event that it is not possible for us to pass on such price increases to passengers in our fares.

Airlines have significant fixed costs that may harm our ability to attain our strategic goals.

As is the case with other airlines, we have high fixed costs (arising principally from aircraft lease agreements). We expect to incur additional fixed costs and contractual debt as we lease or acquire new aircraft and
  other equipment to implement our growth strategy.

As a function of these significant fixed costs, we may (i) have limited our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital and other purposes, (ii) be required to dedicate a significant part of our cash flow
  to fixed costs resulting from operating leases for aircraft, (iii) incur higher interest or leasing expenses in the event that interest rates increase, or (iv) have limited ability to plan for or react to changes in our businesses, the civil
  aviation sector generally and general macroeconomic conditions.

We depend significantly on automated systems and any breakdown in these systems may harm our business and results of operations.

We depend on automated systems to operate our businesses, including our e-TAM portal, automated seat reservation system, fleet and network management system, telecommunications system and website. Significant or
  repeated breakdowns in such systems may impede access to our products and services by passengers and travel agencies, which may in turn lead them to purchase tickets from other airlines which would adversely affect our net revenues. Any interruption
  in our systems may result in the loss of important information and increase our costs, which may cause negative perception and reduced demand for our services.

A failure to implement our growth strategy may harm our results of operations and the trading price of our ADSs and preferred shares.

Our growth strategy in the domestic and international markets and the consolidation of our leadership in both the domestic and international markets includes, among other objectives, increasing the number of markets we
  serve and increasing the frequency of the flights we provide. These objectives are dependent on approvals for routes in the appropriate geographic areas and obtaining adequate access at the airports. Guarulhos airport in São Paulo and
  Juscelino Kubitschek airport in Brasília are highly congested and passenger capacity is near or at the maximum level. In addition, Congonhas Airport in São Paulo is subject to slot restrictions which limit both the number of landings
  and take-offs and the times at which landings and take-offs can take place.  Other airports may reach maximum passenger capacity in the future or impose slot restrictions, which would adversely affect our growth strategy. Any factor preventing or
  delaying our access to airports or routes which are vital to our growth strategy (including any inability to maintain our current slots and obtain additional slots at certain airports) may restrict the expansion of our operations and, consequently, adversely affect our growth objectives.

Insurance costs for airlines may increase significantly because of a terrorist attack, harming our financial condition and results of operations.

Insurance companies may significantly increase insurance premiums for airlines and reduce the amount of insurance coverage available to airlines for civil liability in respect of damage resulting from acts of terrorism,
  war, or similar events, as occurred, for example, after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States.

In response to substantial increases in insurance premiums to cover risks related to terrorist attacks following the events of September 11, 2001 in the United States, the Brazilian government enacted legislation,
  authorizing the Brazilian government to provisionally assume civil liability to third parties for any injury to persons or goods on the ground caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war against Brazilian airlines operating in Brazil or abroad.
  However, the Brazilian government may, at its sole discretion, suspend the assumption of liability at any time, provided that it gives seven days notice of such suspension. If the Brazilian government suspended such assumption of liability and
  if there was a terrorist attack, potential liability to third parties would increase substantially.

Airline insurers may reduce their coverage or increase their premiums in case of terrorist attack, seizures, aircraft accident, the end of the assumption of liability by the Brazilian government or other events
  affecting civil aviation in Brazil or abroad. If there are significant reductions in insurance coverage, our potential liability would increase substantially. If there are significant increases in insurance premiums, our operating expenses would
  increase, adversely affecting our results of operations.

We may not succeed in obtaining all aircraft and parts on time, which may result in a suspension of the operations of certain of our aircraft because of unscheduled or unplanned maintenance.

At December 31, 2007, we had firm orders outstanding with Airbus to lease an additional 47 Airbus A320 family aircraft, six Airbus A330 family aircraft, two Airbus A340 family aircraft and 22 Airbus A350 aircraft
  together with an additional 20 options for Airbus A320 family aircraft and ten options for Airbus A350 aircraft. We also had firm orders outstanding with Boeing to lease four Boeing 777 aircraft, with an additional four options. Any disruption or
  change in the manufacturers delivery schedules for these new aircraft will affect our operations and would negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations because we would not be able to accommodate demand from additional
  passengers. Our ability to obtain these new aircraft from Airbus or Boeing may be affected by several factors, including (i) the fact that Airbus or Boeing may refuse to, or be financially limited in its ability to, fulfill the obligations it
  assumed as a result of entering into the aircraft delivery contract, (ii) the occurrence of a fire, strike or other events affecting Airbus or Boeings ability to fulfill its contractual obligations in a complete and timely fashion, and
  (iii) any inability on our part to obtain aircraft financing or any refusal by Airbus or Boeing to provide financial support. Our operations may also be affected by any failure or inability of Airbus or Boeing (or other suppliers) to supply
  sufficient replacement parts in a timely fashion, which may cause the suspension of operations of certain aircraft because of unscheduled or unplanned maintenance. Any such suspension of operations would adversely affect our financial condition
  because of the decrease in passenger revenues that we would face.

The reputation and financial results of airlines may be harmed by any accident or incident involving their aircraft.

Any accident or incident involving the aircraft of any airline may require repair or replacement of the damaged aircraft and temporary or permanent loss of service, in addition to significant costs arising from
  indemnities payable to injured passengers and third parties. On July 17, 2007, TAM flight 3054 from Porto Alegre to São PauloCongonhas had an accident during landing at Congonhas airport. There were no survivors aboard the aircraft and
  additional fatalities in a TAM cargo facility into which the aircraft collided. We are not yet able to make final conclusions as to the financial impact of this incident or the impact on our brand. We believe that the level of insurance we have
  contracted in respect of accidents is consistent with market practice. However, we may incur losses in the event of any accident should the amounts payable pursuant to the terms of our insurance contracts be insufficient to cover the damage. Any
  requirement to pay amounts not covered by our insurance contracts may harm our business and results of operations. Any accident or incident involving one of our aircraft, even if completely covered by insurance, may affect our image and generate a
  public perception that we are less safe or reliable than other airlines, which in turn would harm consumer demand, our revenues and our market position. In addition, any accident or incident relating to an aircraft operated by another airline and
  which involves one of the same models of aircraft as are in our fleet may generate a public perception that the particular model of aircraft is unsafe, which in turn may also harm demand for our services, revenues and, consequently, our results of
  operations.

We are often affected by certain factors beyond our control, including airport congestion, weather conditions and increased safety measures, which can affect our operations.

Like other airlines, we are subject to delays caused by factors beyond our control, including airport congestion, adverse weather conditions and increased safety measures. Delays have the effects of leaving passengers
  dissatisfied, reducing aircraft utilization (the average number of hours per day an aircraft is in operation) and increasing costs, and, accordingly, may affect our profitability. Adverse weather conditions may cause cancellations of, or significant
  delays in, our flights. Cancellations or delays resulting from airport congestion, adverse weather conditions and safety related measures may decrease our revenues and harm our reputation as a punctual airline, which could lead to decreased demand
  for our services.

Problems with air traffic control systems or other technical failures could interrupt our operations and materially affect our business.

Our operations, including our ability to deliver customer service, are dependent on the effective operation of our equipment, including our aircraft, maintenance systems and reservation systems. Our operations are also
  dependent on the effective operation of domestic and international air traffic control systems and the air traffic control infrastructure in the markets in which we operate. Equipment failures, personnel shortages, air traffic control problems and
  other factors that could interrupt operations could adversely affect our operations and financial results and our reputation.

Technical and operational problems in the Brazilian air traffic control systems since the last quarter of 2006 have led to extensive flight delays, higher than usual flight cancellations and increased airport
  congestion.  This negatively affected our punctuality and operating results. The Brazilian government and air traffic control authorities have taken measures to improve the Brazilian air traffic control systems, but if the changes undertaken by the
  Brazilian government and regulatory authorities do not prove successful, these air traffic control related difficulties might reoccur or worsen, which might have a material adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and our growth
  strategy.

The successful execution of our strategy is partly dependent on us maintaining a high daily aircraft utilization rate, which makes us especially vulnerable to delays.

In order to successfully execute our strategy, we need to maintain a high daily aircraft utilization rate, which is a measure of the number of block hours that we use our aircraft per day. Achieving a high daily
  aircraft utilization rate allows us to maximize the amount of revenue that we generate from each aircraft and is achieved, in part, by reducing turnaround times at airports and developing schedules that enable us to fly more hours on average per
  day. Our aircraft utilization rate could be adversely affected by a number of factors that we cannot control, including air traffic and airport congestion, interruptions in the service provided by air traffic controllers, adverse weather conditions
  and delays by third-party service providers in respect of matters such as fueling and ground handling. In addition, high aircraft utilization rates increase the risk that, if an aircraft falls behind schedule, it could remain behind schedule for up
  to two days. Such delays could result in a disruption in our operating performance, leading to customer dissatisfaction due to any resulting delays or missed connections.

Risks Relating to our ADSs and Preferred Shares

We have a stable group of principal shareholders with the power to manage our business, and the interests of these persons may conflict with those of other shareholders.

Our principal shareholders TEP, Aerosystem and Nova Fronteira collectively control 99.97% of our common stock and have the power to, among other things, (i) elect the majority of our directors, and (ii) control the
  results of any proposal requiring shareholder approval (including transactions with related parties, corporate re-organization, sales of assets and the timing and conditions of payment of any future dividends, subject to the minimum mandatory
  dividend distribution requirements under Brazilian corporation law). Our principal shareholders have the power to approve transactions that might not be in the interests of other shareholders and may prevent or frustrate any attempts to remove our
  current directors or executive officers.

Our preferred shares do not carry general voting rights.

Our preferred shares and, consequently, our ADSs do not carry general voting rights except in relation to certain specific matters and under specific circumstances.  See Item 10.  Additional Information  B.
  Memorandum and Articles of Association. Our principal shareholders, who hold the majority of common shares with voting rights and control us, are therefore able to approve corporate measures without the approval of holders of our preferred shares.

Accordingly, you will not have control over the approval of corporate measures such as appointment of directors, approval of significant transactions or changes in our capital structure.

The economic value of your investment may be diluted.

In the event that we need to obtain capital for our operations by issuing new shares, any such issuance may be made at a value below the book value of our preferred shares on the relevant date. In that event, the then
  holders of our ADSs and preferred shares would suffer an immediate and significant dilution of their investment.

The sale of significant quantities of ADSs or preferred shares may cause the stock market price value of our ADSs and preferred shares to decline.

In the event that we or our shareholders elect to sell a significant number of our ADSs or preferred shares, or in the event that the market perceives that we have the intention of any such sale, unless there are high
  levels of demand to purchase our ADSs or preferred shares the stock market price of our preferred shares or ADSs would decline significantly.

Brazilian securities markets are relatively volatile and illiquid. Therefore you may not be able to sell the preferred shares underlying the ADSs at the price and time you desire.

Investing in securities that trade in emerging markets, such as Brazil, often involves greater risk than investing in securities of issuers in the United States, and such investments are generally considered to be more
  speculative in nature. The Brazilian securities market is substantially smaller, less liquid and can be more volatile than major securities markets in the United States. There is also significantly greater concentration in the Brazilian securities
  market than in major securities markets in the United States. Accordingly, although you are entitled to withdraw the preferred shares underlying the ADSs from the depository at any time, you may not be able to sell the preferred shares underlying
  the ADSs at a price and time at which you wish to do so.

Changes in Brazilian tax laws may have an adverse impact on the taxes applicable to a disposition of our preferred shares or ADSs.

Law No. 10,833 of December 29, 2003 provides that the disposition of assets located in Brazil by a non-resident to either a Brazilian resident or a non-resident is subject to taxation in Brazil, regardless of whether
  the disposition occurs outside or within Brazil. This provision results in the imposition of income tax on the gains arising from a disposition of our preferred shares by a nonresident of Brazil to another non-resident of Brazil.  There is no
  judicial guidance as to the application of Law No. 10,833 of December 29, 2003 and, accordingly, we are unable to predict whether Brazilian courts may decide that it applies to dispositions of our ADSs between non-residents of Brazil. However, in
  the event that the disposition of assets is interpreted to include a disposition of our ADSs, this tax law would accordingly result in the imposition of withholding taxes on the disposition of our ADSs by a nonresident of Brazil to another
  non-resident of Brazil.

Because any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder (as defined in Item 10. Additional Information  E. Taxation  United States) will generally be treated as a U.S. source gain or loss unless
  such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on the other income treated as derived from foreign sources, such U.S. Holder would not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Brazilian tax imposed on
  the disposition of our preferred shares.

The Brazilian government may impose exchange controls and significant restrictions on remittances of reais abroad, which would adversely affect your ability to convert and remit dividends, distributions or the proceeds from the sale of our
  preferred shares, our capacity to make dividend payments to non-Brazilian investors and would reduce the market price of our preferred shares or ADSs.

The Brazilian government may restrict the remittance abroad of proceeds of investments in Brazil and the conversion of the realinto foreign currencies. The Brazilian government last imposed such remittance
  restrictions for a brief period in 1989 and in early 1990. In the event that the Brazilian government determines that the Brazilian foreign currency reserves need to be maintained, it may impose temporary charges on any overseas remittance of up to
  50% of the value of the remittance. We cannot assure you that the Brazilian government will not take any such similar measures in the future. The reimposition of any such restrictions would hinder or prevent your ability to convert dividends, distributions or the proceeds from any sale of our preferred shares into
  U.S. dollars and to remit U.S. dollars abroad and our capacity to make dividend payments to non-Brazilian investors.  The imposition of any such restrictions would have a material adverse effect on the stock market price of our preferred shares or
  ADSs.

If you surrender your ADSs and withdraw preferred shares, you risk losing the ability to remit foreign currency abroad and certain Brazilian tax advantages.

As an ADS holder, you benefit from the electronic certificate of foreign capital registration obtained by the custodian for our preferred shares underlying the ADSs in Brazil, which permits the custodian to convert
  dividends and other distributions with respect to the preferred shares into non-Brazilian currency and remit the proceeds abroad.  If you surrender your ADSs and withdraw preferred shares, you will be entitled to continue to rely on the
  custodians electronic certificate of foreign capital registration for only five business days from the date of withdrawal. Thereafter, upon the disposition of or distributions relating to the preferred shares unless you obtain your own
  electronic certificate of foreign capital registration or you qualify under Brazilian foreign investment regulations that entitle some foreign investors to buy and sell shares on Brazilian stock exchanges without obtaining separate electronic
  certificates of foreign capital registration you would not be able to remit abroad non-Brazilian currency. In addition, if you do not qualify under the foreign investment regulations you will generally be subject to less favorable tax treatment of
  dividends and distributions on, and the proceeds from any sale of, our preferred shares.

If you attempt to obtain your own electronic certificate of foreign capital registration, you may incur expenses or suffer delays in the application process, which could delay your ability to receive dividends or
  distributions relating to our preferred shares or the return of your capital in a timely manner. The depositarys electronic certificate of foreign capital registration may also be adversely affected by future legislative changes.

If we do not maintain a registration statement and no exemption from the Securities Act is available, U.S. Holders of ADSs will be unable to exercise preemptive rights with respect to our preferred shares.

We will not be able to offer our preferred shares to U.S. holders of ADSs pursuant to preemptive rights granted to holders of our preferred shares in connection with any future issuance of our preferred shares unless a
  registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to such preferred shares and preemptive rights, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.  We are not obligated to file a
  registration statement relating to preemptive rights with respect to our preferred shares, and we cannot assure you that we will file any such registration statement. If such a registration statement is not filed and an exemption from registration
  does not exist, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary, will attempt to sell the preemptive rights, and you will be entitled to receive the proceeds of such sale. However, these preemptive rights will expire if the depositary does not sell them,
  and U.S. holders of ADSs will not realize any value from the granting of such preemptive rights.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

General

TAM S.A. is a holding company, founded in May 1997 (under the name CIT  Companhia de Investimentos em Transportes) for the specific purpose of participating in, managing and consolidating
  shareholdings in airlines. In November 1997, we implemented a corporate restructuring resulting in an increase of TAM Marílias stake in our capital and the change of our corporate name to TAM  Companhia de Investimentos em
    Transportes. In September 2002 we again changed our corporate name to TAM S.A. We currently hold ownership interests in TAM Linhas Aéreas and TAM Mercosur.  TAM Linhas Aéreas holds an ownership interest in TAM Viagens, TAM Capital
  and TAM Financial.

TAM S.A. is a sociedade anônimaorganized and operating under the laws of Brazil. Our headquarters are located at Avenida Jurandir, 856, Lote 4, 1o andar, CEP 04072-000, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
  Our telephone number is +55 11 5582 9715.

TAM Marília was founded in January 1961 in the interior of the state of São Paulo, where the late Captain Rolim Amaro worked as a pilot. In 1971, Captain Rolim Amaro became an executive partner and
  minority shareholder of TAM Marília. TAM Regionais was founded in May 1976 and was the groups first scheduled airline, with 67% of its capital stock held by Captain Rolim Amaro. In 1978, Captain Rolim Amaro became the major shareholder of TAM Marília, holding 98% of its capital stock.

In 1986, Captain Rolim Amaro incorporated TAM Linhas Aéreas, launching its operations through Brasil-Central Linha Aérea Regional S.A.(which was created to operate in the countrys northern
  and central-western regions). In the same year, Brasil-Central Linha Aérea Regional S.A.was granted a concession to operate at Guarulhos International Airport and became TAM Transportes Aéreos Meridionais S.A.,
  Brazils second-largest domestic airline.

In 1993, we launched the TAM Loyalty Program (the first airline loyalty program in Brazil) in order to provide incentives for existing passengers to fly with us more often and attract new passengers.  In 1998 we
  inaugurated our first international flight, between São Paulo and Miami. In 1999, we initiated flights to Paris through a codeshare agreement with Air France.

In 1998, we acquired Itapemirim Transportes Aéreos Regionais(the corporate name of which was changed to Interexpress Transportes Aéreos Regionais S.A.) and then acquired Helisul
  Linhas Aéreas S.A.(the corporate name of which was changed to TAM Express S.A.).

In 1999, TAM Express and Interexpress Transportes Aéreos Regionaismerged into TAM Linhas Aéreas, leading to greater integration, operational efficiency and a consequent reduction in costs. As a
  continuation of this restructuring process, and as a result of the need to unify our regional, national and international operations, in November 2000 TAM  Transportes Aéreos Regionais S.A.was merged into TAM Linhas
  Aéreas.

On February 6, 2003, we signed a protocol of understanding with Varig for codesharing operations as a preliminary stage in a possible merger between the two companies. This was primarily intended to eliminate
  overlapping flights and to rationalize supply in the market.  As a result of signing this protocol of understanding, we were able to reorganize our aircraft fleet, resulting in negotiations to return 19 Fokker 100 aircraft (and a consequent
  reduction in operating costs).

On February 15, 2005, as it became clear that the proposed merger would not take place, we and Varig submitted a detailed plan to the CADE to cancel the codeshare arrangement. On February 23, 2005, the codeshare
  agreement was cancelled (with the approval of the CADE) with a deadline of May 24, 2005 to terminate codeshare operations with Varig. We ceased all codeshare operations with Varig on May 2, 2005.

On June 17, 2005, we completed our initial equity offering of preferred shares, pursuant to which we (and the selling shareholders in that offering) offered a total of 30,190,000 preferred shares to institutional
  investors in the United States and institutional and other investors elsewhere. On July 19, 2005, we and the selling shareholders in the equity offering described above issued a further 281,600 preferred shares pursuant to an over-allotment option
  granted to the underwriters in that offering.

On March 15, 2006, we completed a follow-on equity offering of preferred shares in Brazil and our initial public offering of ADSs in the United States and elsewhere outside Brazil. This offering of preferred shares and
  ADSs and was registered with the SEC and the ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. We became a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. We offered 2,660,103 ADSs and 2,339,897 preferred shares and
  the selling shareholders in that offering sold 21,209,462 ADSs and 9,408,636 preferred shares. On April 11, 2006, we and the selling shareholders in that offering sold an additional 1,103,000 ADSs pursuant to an over-allotment option granted to the
  underwriters in that offering.

TAM Mercosur operates scheduled air transportation operations and is headquartered in Asunción, Paraguay. TAM Mercosur, which operates in Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Bolivia, was founded in
  March 1993 under the name Líneas Aéreas Paraguayas S.A.(LAPSA), with all capital stock held by the Government of Paraguay. The Paraguayan government currently holds 5.02% of TAM Mercosurs capital stock. In January 1997,
  LAPSAs corporate name was changed to Transportes Aéreos del Mercosur S.A.In September 2003, upon approval of TransAméricas dissolution and liquidation, we acquired all shares of TAM Mercosur held at the time by
  TransAmérica (which consisted of 94.98% of its capital stock). In the year ended December 31, 2007, TAM Mercosurs net operating revenues represented 2.4% of our total consolidated net operating revenues. In 2007, we began a project to
  streamline the management of TAM Mercosur by integrating key administration and management functions with our central management in Brazil.

TAM Viagens is a limited company (sociedade limitada) and tourism operator controlled by TAM Linhas Aéreas. Through TAM Viagens, we engage in operations involving the packaging and sale of tourism and
  corporate events in Brazil and abroad.

In 2007, TAM Linhas Aéreas incorporated TAM Capital as a wholly-owned subsidiary, organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, for the purpose of issuing US$300,000,000 7.375% senior guaranteed notes due 2017
  on April 25, 2007. On December 18, 2007 we completed an exchange offer pursuant to which holders of 99.2% of the notes issued on April 25, 2007 exchanged their notes for new notes that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
  and otherwise carried identical terms.

In 2007, TAM Linhas Aéreas incorporated TAM Financial 1 Limited as a wholly-owned subsidiary, organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, for the purpose of raising funds for the payment of pre-delivery
  payments in respect of four Boeing 777 aircraft, and also incorporated TAM Financial Services 2 Limited as a wholly-owned subsidiary, organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, whose main activities are involved aircraft acquisition and
  financing.

Capital Investments

During 2007, we invested R$251.9 million in fixed assets, primarily replacement parts for our fleet.  During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we invested R$136.1 million and R$109.5 million, respectively,
  principally made in parts and equipment for our fleet.

On November 10, 2006, TAM Linhas Aéreas entered into a loan agreement in the amount of approximately R$85 million with BNDES.  We are using part of the proceeds from this loan to finance capital expenditure on
  software and maintenance described below. The terms of the agreement provide that TAM Linhas Aéreas is required to repay approximately R$72 million of the principal amount in 60 equal monthly installments, beginning in December 2006 and
  ending in November 2011. The remaining R$13 million of the principal amount is also repayable in 60 equal monthly installments, beginning in February 2007 and ending in January 2012. We provided BNDES with security interests over certain real
  property as collateral, with the total value of such interests being approximately R$65,505,000. TAM Linhas Aéreas is subject to certain restrictions in the loan agreement, including:

- the loan agreement may be terminated early if the amount of TAM Linhas Aéreas earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization (net of any income taxes, social contribution taxes and any variations in working capital), divided by
    the amount of all scheduled due payments during each six-month period, falls below certain specified ratios; and
- the loan agreement may be terminated early in the event that we fail to replace collateral or present additional collateral (so as to preserve the integrity of BNDES security interest) within 30 days of BNDES requesting that we do so.

On December 16, 2005, TAM Linhas Aéreas entered into a credit facility agreement with the IFC allowing TAM Linhas Aéreas to drawdown a maximum of US$50 million for the purpose of financing (i) a portion of
  the pre-delivery payments relating to our acquisition of ten Airbus A320 aircraft pursuant to a purchase agreement we entered into with Airbus on March 19, 1998, and (ii) our working capital. US$33 million of the principal amount is guaranteed by
  TAM S.A. The terms of the agreement provide that TAM Linhas Aéreas will repay the loan in 12 equal semi-annual installments, beginning in November 2006 and ending in May 2012. We record amounts drawn down under this facility in reais.
  As of December 31, 2007, we had R$51,414million outstanding under this facility. TAM Linhas Aéreas is subject to certain restrictions in the agreement with IFC, including:

- it may not incur additional debt if the amount of its net income, due payments and dividends divided by the amount of all scheduled due payments falls below certain specified ratios;
- it may not prepay its debt under other contracts for indebtedness unless it prepays its debt to IFC under the loan agreement in a proportionate amount; and
- it will automatically be a default under the loan agreement if TAM Linhas Aéreas is in default in the aggregate amount of US$5,000,000 under its other contracts for indebtedness (or if it is in default in the amount of US$2,500,000 under any
    single contract for indebtedness).

Our principal ongoing capital expenses are related to expenses on software (principally software necessary for the operation of the e-TAM portal and software used for cost controls and managing our spare parts
  and supplies) and on the extension of, and environmental enhancements to, our maintenance center in São Carlos. We plan to finance these capital expenses by using both cash generated by our operations and a portion of the proceeds from the
  loan with BNDES described above.

B. Business Overview

Overview

We provide scheduled air transportation in both the domestic market and the international market through our operating subsidiaries TAM Linhas Aéreas and TAM Mercosur.  According to data provided by ANAC, we are
  the leading airline in the domestic market, with a 48.9% share of this market in December 2007 and a 49.1% share in December 2006, as measured in RPKs. We offer flights throughout Brazil, serving the largest number of destinations in Brazil of all
  Brazilian airlines, and operate scheduled passenger and cargo air transport routes to 47 cities, in addition to an additional 34 domestic destinations that we serve through regional alliances with other airlines.  We also directly serve 17
  international destinations and provide connections to other destinations through commercial agreements with United Airlines, Lufthansa and certain other airlines. We offer convenience to our passengers by offering frequent and direct flights to and
  from all major domestic airports at competitive prices. In 2006 we carried approximately 22.9 million passengers on domestic flights and approximately 2.6 million passengers on international flights.  We carried approximately 25 million passengers
  on domestic flights and 4 million passengers on international flights in 2007.  In December 2007, we averaged 1,046 take-offs per day and in December 2005 we averaged 702 take-offs per day. In order to meet domestic demand, we primarily cater to the
  business market but also operate in the leisure and cargo markets, which complement our primary operations and allow us to maximize the use of our aircraft.

At December 31, 2007, we operated with a fleet of 115 leased aircraft, consisting primarily of Airbus models A330, A320 and A319, as well as Fokker 100 aircraft, and we had 20,469 employees.

Since our incorporation, we believe that we have demonstrated a history of sustained growth and a proven ability to adapt to the various stages through which the civil aviation industry in Brazil and around the world
  have passed.  We believe that Brazil is currently the fourth largest domestic aviation market in the world and has one of the busiest shuttle services in the world (São Paulo - Rio de Janeiro).

We believe that we have a strong corporate culture, embedded by our founder (Captain Rolim Adolfo Amaro), that permeates all levels of our company and continues to guide the day-to-day activities of our management.  In
  order to ensure that we act in accordance with best practices and provide value-added service to our passengers, we seek to embed our culture in the training provided to new employees and believe that all of our staff are products of this practice.
  Our mission is to be the best, most profitable airline in Latin America, with a reputation for operational, managerial and ethical excellence, and we consistently transmit this mission statement to our employees.

Our principal strategic goal is to consolidate and expand our leadership in the domestic passenger market and to attain high levels of profitability. We will seek to pursue this goal by offering an overall service that
  delivers to passengers superior value for money, by continuing to reduce costs and by improving the return on capital invested.

At December 31, 2007, the fleet of TAM Linhas Aéreas consisted of 115 leased aircraft, as set forth in the table below, including one Airbus A320 and three Fokker 100 aircraft subleased to TAM Mercosur, the fleet
  of which also includes one Cessna Caravan-model aircraft.

| | TAM Loyalty Program.We were the first airline to offer a loyalty program in Brazil and there are currently over 4.5 million members in the TAM Loyalty Program. We regard our loyalty program as a strong relationship tool and believe that it
      is the most flexible loyalty program in the market because it imposes no restrictions on flights or the number of seats available when members are redeeming accumulated points. Members may accumulate points quickly and easily by flying on TAM or
      partner airlines, making purchases through TAM Loyalty Program-affiliated credit cards or using services and products at partner establishments. In addition, the TAM Loyalty Program strengthens lines of communications with our passengers.

      and retain the best professionals and, accordingly, our management invests significant funds and time in selecting people with high potential and who fit well into our entrepreneurial culture. Employee satisfaction surveys, followed by meetings,
      seminars, action plans, an internal version of Talk to the President program and the entire incentive policy we offer (such as our employee of the month award and breakfasts and lunches with our board of executive officers) are important
      instruments of communication with and integration of our staff. Our training center has the capacity to serve over 750 students each day with certification and management courses. In 2004, we also implemented a variable compensation policy for our
      officers and employees, aligned with our strategic goals for the company and an aggressive policy of sharing profits. Following approval by both our board of directors and shareholders, we implemented a share purchase option plan for our officers and employees pursuant to which the first options were granted in December 2005.

Strategy

Our strategic goal is to consolidate and expand our leadership in the domestic and international passenger markets and to attain high levels of profitability in both markets. We will seek to pursue this goal by offering
  an overall service that delivers superior value to passengers, by continuing to reduce costs and by increasing the return on capital invested. To reach these objectives, our strategies are:

Sales and Distribution

We are developing several direct and indirect distribution channels for the sale of air fares.  We plan to increase direct sales (which at December 31, 2007 represented approximately 23.2% of our total ticket sales)
  through stimulation of the leisure market and facilitating the means by which our passengers can purchase tickets; this principally involves direct sales through the internet and through our call center. We were the first airline in Latin America to
  sell tickets on the internet. Through our website, registered users may purchase tickets online and receive customer service, make reservations up to one hour before departure and access information such as that relating to the TAM Loyalty Program.
  As part of our plan to increase direct sales through the internet, in 2006 we launched a new fare profile system for sales of domestic tickets. This system involves the presentation of five different color-coded fare profiles that are
  intended to make identification of fare types and related rules more simple for our passengers. The five fare profiles are Promo, Light, Flex, Max and
  Top. We launched a marketing campaign highlighting this new fare profile system at the time of launch and recorded an increase of approximately 40% in direct sales in the month after introduction. At December 31, 2007, 83.3% of our sales were through travel agencies and 16.7% were through direct channels, of which 7.2% were through the internet.

Our call center allows passengers an alternative means to make reservations and purchase tickets 24 hours a day. To a lesser extent, we also sell tickets through our network of stores, that are located in the main
  cities of Brazil.

Indirect sales are those made through corporate travel agencies, agencies with registrations and pre-approved credit and travel operators. In December 2007, indirect sales represented 80.7% of our total ticket sales.
  Currently, there are approximately 5,800 travel agencies authorized to sell our tickets in Brazil.

We use our proprietary e-TAM portal to integrate our entire sales chain, from the time of reservation to passenger boarding, consolidating indirect sales and eliminating the GDSs in our distribution chain. Data
  obtained from the e-TAM portal allows us to offer passengers a set of customized services, based on the one-to-one concept.  In 36 months of operation, 94.4% of indirect channel reservations made in Brazil are now made through the e-TAM portal.

We believe that approximately 75% of our passenger traffic consists of business travelers and employees of large and medium-sized companies with whom we have travel agreements. To further develop our business
  relationship with our corporate clients, we have signed agreements with hotel chains and car rental companies to offer our customers complete corporate transportation and accommodation packages. Our advertisements run primarily in media vehicles
  such as internet sites, radio spots, local newspaper advertisements, magazines and outdoor billboards.

Pricing Policy, Revenue and Yield Management

In general, prices charged by airlines are freely set by the airlines, with ANAC responsible for monitoring the prices.  No discounts greater than 65% of the total price may be granted without ANACs approval five
  days in advance of the date such discounts will be offered to consumers. Brazilian airlines are freely able to set their prices. See Item 4. Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Regulation of the Brazilian Civil
  Aviation Industry  Rights to Operate Air Routes  Prices.

We believe that our current pricing policy is dynamic.  Focusing on maximizing profitability, we aim to divide up particular niches within the market to better serve projected demand. Pricing availability is based on
  traffic projections and is accompanied by closely monitored performance indicators. Our pricing policy focuses specifically on our indirect distribution channels (GDS system and e-TAM portal) and direct channels (our website, reservation call
  center and stores).

We seek to achieve the greatest possible competitiveness for each origin/destination in relation to the competition, keeping in mind at all times our products added value in terms of convenience of frequency,
  schedules, the TAM Loyalty Program and on-time record.

We continuously analyze market opportunities with the intention of stimulating demand for specific routes and periods. Lower prices are offered for one-time promotions (such as national or regional holidays) and as
  incentives to take flights at particular times (such as night flights). These prices generally carry restrictions, such as the requirement to purchase a round-trip, a minimum stay at the destination, or the requirement that the ticket be issued
  within 24 hours, and generally do not earn points for the TAM Loyalty Program.

The price a passenger is willing to pay may vary depending upon factors such as destination, month of the year, day of the week and departure schedule. Revenue and yield management is the process by which (based on
  historical data and statistical projection models) airlines establish the number of seats to be offered for each price category over time, in order to maximize total operating revenue for each flight. We believe that efficient yield management is
  the key to success in the air transportation market in Brazil and abroad.

We believe that we have an efficient and accurate system to collect data on reservations, departures, revenue. The system also produces recommendations to analyze levels of overbooking, and in relation to offering
  discounts for future departures. Data relating to reservations and departure is collected daily, forming reservation profiles for each flight and allowing specific recommendations from flight to flight. The system allows our analysts to verify
  whether flights are above or below historic reservation levels and decide whether to close the discount classes or offer more space for passengers who generate higher revenues.  Accordingly, our yield management practices allow us to both react quickly in response to market changes and anticipate and introduce such changes into the market.

We currently have a team of analysts dedicated to revenue and price management. These professionals are divided by market sector and have particular knowledge of specific routes in order to better understand features
  which are specific to each route (such as holidays, high and low season, peak schedules and days and the competitive environment).

Air Transportation Operations

Scheduled international operations

We operate 62 international flights weekly to Buenos Aires, Santiago, Asunción, Montevideo, Ciudad del Este, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Cochabamba, Cordoba, Punta del Este, Caracas, Miami, New York, London, Paris,
  Frankfurt, Madrid and Milan. We also operate a daily flight to Lima, Peru, through a codeshare with TACA Airlines. Our codeshare agreements with United Airlines and Lufthansa allow our passengers to make connections to destinations in Latin America,
  the United States and Europe, in addition to access to other services, such as check-in at desks of our partner airlines, simplified baggage shipping, access to VIP lounges and the ability to earn points in the TAM Loyalty Program. We also have
  agreements allowing us to offer our passengers a wide range of destinations around the world.

International scheduled passenger traffic represented 24.9% of our revenue in 2007, 19.6% in 2006 and 17.1% in 2005. Our RPKs from international flights grew 67.9% in 2007, 41.6% in 2006 and 41.4% in 2005. The RPKs of
  Brazilian carriers in the total international market decreased 5.9% in 2007, decreased 30.4% in 2006 and increased 7.3% in 2005. Our share of the international market operated by Brazilian carriers was 67.4%, 60.6% and 18.8% in 2007, 2006 and 2005
  respectively.

Charter operations

We generate revenue from charter operations (flying primarily during off-peak hours) increasing the productivity of our fleet. These operations represented 2.0% of our total gross revenue in 2007, 3.2% in 2006 and 4.2%
  in 2005. According to ANAC, we are the largest charter flight operator in Brazil. In 2007, we operated over 7,000 charter flights, primarily to the capitals of states in the Northeast of Brazil.

Cargo transportation operations

We also earn revenues through cargo transportation operations. These operations represented 9.2% of our total gross revenues in 2007, 6.3% in 2006 and 6.9% in 2005. TAM Express (the cargo unit of TAM Linhas
  Aéreas) is responsible for providing express package, conventional cargo and special transportation services. TAM Express serves various locations in Brazil and abroad, flying directly to 47 airports, picking up packages in approximately 400
  cities in Brazil and making deliveries to approximately 3,900 locations in Brazil. With the increase in international flights offered by TAM Linhas Aéreas, cargo transportation operations have encouraged cargo exports to destinations in the Mercosur countries (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay),
  North America and Europe. In particular, exports of fruit, fish, auto parts, electronic materials, fabrics and shoes all increased. In 2007, 65,150 tons of cargo was carried in our aircraft holds to destinations outside Brazil.  In 2007, cargo
  operations represented gross revenues of R$777 million (made up of R$360 million from the domestic market and R$417 million from the international market).

We use the same fleet for cargo operations as is used by TAM Linhas Aéreas. This allows us to promote the sale of vacant space in our aircraft and, consequently, to reduce fixed costs.  TAM Express has some 350
  vehicles (including vans, pickups and motorcycles) to pick up and deliver cargo. These operations are arranged through agents.

Travel and tourism operations

We also earn revenues through TAM Viagens. These revenues are recorded under Other in Other operating revenue in our accounts. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, revenues from travel and tourism represented
  0.4%, 0.3% and 0.3% of our total gross revenues respectively. We believe that TAM Viagens is the second largest travel operator in the country. In order to take advantage of vacant space on our aircraft, we have concentrated TAM Viagens
  operations on the least occupied routes operated by TAM Linhas Aéreas.

Marketing

TAM Loyalty Program

The TAM Loyalty Program was the first loyalty program launched by a Brazilian airline and represents a key element in our marketing strategy. We believe our program is the most flexible in the market because it imposes
  no restrictions on flights or the number of seats available when members are redeeming accumulated points.  The TAM Loyalty Program has approximately 4.5 million members and 5.2 million free flights have been distributed since creation of the TAM
  Loyalty Program in 1993. Members may accumulate points quickly and easily by flying on TAM or partner airlines, making purchases through TAM Loyalty Program-affiliated credit cards or using services and products at partner establishments. Both Unibanco  União de Bancos Brasileiros S.A., or Unibanco and Banco Itaú S.A.offer credit cards that allow holders to earn Loyalty Program points, and credit cards are available in both Mastercard and Visa
  designations. There are three tiers in the TAM Loyalty Program (white, blue and red) and qualification for a particular tier is based on miles flown. The speed at which points are accumulated varies depending on the tier of membership. Blue and red
  cards receive extra benefits and higher points, therefore allowing the member to accrue points which can be redeemed for free travel more quickly. At December 31, 2007, the equivalent of 2,400,632 domestic flights had been accumulated but not
  redeemed by members of the TAM Loyalty Program.

On the basis of aircraft load factors, our management believes that the liability corresponding to tickets awarded to passengers redeeming TAM Loyalty Program points should be valued using the incremental
  cost method, under which only the additional costs per transported passenger (essentially the costs of insurance and in-flight service) are accounted for. Expenses from the TAM Loyalty Program had been allocated against income when incurred
  through December 31, 2005 but estimated costs were accrued as from 2006.

Points earned by TAM Loyalty Program members must be redeemed for tickets within two years, and historically approximately 25% of points expire without being redeemed. This two year period for redemption limits any
  possible growth in liabilities arising from the TAM Loyalty Program, assuming a stable trend in relation to the number of passengers we carry.

The TAM Loyalty Program is also a source of revenue for us through partnerships with various companies. The amounts of these revenues have been increasing each year, totaling R$290 million at December 31, 2007, R$207
  million at December 31, 2006 and R$85 million at December 31, 2005.

Communications with our passengers

Our Talk to the President initiative was introduced to encourage passengers to give us suggestions, praise and complaints. There are printed response-card brochures in all of our aircraft, boarding lounges
  and check-in lounges, allowing passengers to express any feedback that interests them. The Talk to the President initiative involves employees responsible for receiving and forwarding thousands of contacts per month, including response cards, faxes,
  e-mails and telephone calls.  Issues raised by passengers are surveyed, researched and analyzed, and we seek to keep the customer informed at all times as to the progress of their request and/or suggestion until resolution or implementation.  In 2007, the Talk to the President initiative received 153,978 responses from passengers (including complaints, praise and comments) compared to 155,643 in 2006 and 135,730 in 2005.

In addition to the Talk to the President initiative, we distribute the monthly Presidents Letter on our flights. The Presidents Letter discusses issues relating to TAM, in addition to others considered
  important to our passengers.

Fleet

General

Our fleet policy focuses on achieving the highest levels of safety, quality, efficient scheduling and high on-time arrival rates (as well as rationalizing maintenance costs). Currently, our fleet consists of
  advanced-technology jet aircraft, yielding cost benefits (such as those arising from the greater ease of transition of technical crews from Fokker to Airbus aircraft), allowing us to achieve high results in efficiency indices and qualifications
  relating to safety standards. See  Safety.

The two Airbus families operating in our fleet are the A330-200 aircraft (wide-bodied aircraft used for long-distance flights), and the A320-200 and A319-100 aircraft (narrow-bodied aircraft used for medium
  and short-distance flights). The aircraft in these families differ by number of seats, allowing us to be more flexible in making commercial decisions. The A320 and A319 models are considered to be among the most comfortable aircraft operating in
  Brazil in their category, with flexibility to operate at low cost on routes with up to five hours of flying time. They are also the only Brazilian narrow-bodied fleet to have fly-by-wire flight controls, which involve computers receiving and
  analyzing each pilot command, making flying more efficient and accurate. Airbus family aircraft also have the benefit of standardized maintenance and operations, allowing pilots and technicians to transition between different models after minimum
  additional training. All our aircraft are equipped with the best and most advanced equipment and software options offered by the manufacturer, giving us what we believe is one of the most advanced aircraft fleets in the world.

We have data communications between our aircraft and departments, even when flying. For this purpose, we have developed a proprietary DMS (Datalink Management System) that allows us to manage all information sent in
  real time by the ACARS (Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System) installed in our fleet. Using the aircraft DMS, pilots may send text messages similar to e-mail) to any of our sectors. Messages transmitted via satellite appear on the
  DMS user screen in real time. In addition to communicating with the pilot, these resources also allow remote online monitoring of aviation systems, such as computer function, landing and departure time, fuel consumption and engine performance
  parameters.  As a result, any operating variance may be analyzed by our maintenance technicians even before the aircraft arrives at its destination. The technology yields not only savings but also significant improvements in efficiency and safety.

The quality of our technical services is regularly audited by the Brazilian and international authorities, manufacturers and insurance companies. As a result of the requirements of our codeshare agreements with United
  Airlines and Lufthansa, we also meet the maintenance and safety compliance requirements of the competent international aviation authorities in this regard.

The advantages of modern technology, combined with excellent operating and maintenance standards for the aircraft, are that we can yield high equipment utilization rates with reliability levels (technical
  dispatchability) above the industry average for all equipment we operate. Our fleet has maintained high technical dispatchability indices according to standards defined by IATA. This index measures the on-time departure capacity of aircraft
  without taking into consideration external factors such as bad weather. In 2007, we had an average technical dispatchability index of 98.6% (compared to 99.0% in 2006) for our fleet in operation (which is the reference point used in the auditing our
  technical services). That data is audited by aircraft, engine and equipment manufacturers according to a unified standard set by IATA.

TAM Linhas Aéreas has RBHA (Brazilian Aviation Approval Regulation) certifications 121 and 145 for maintenance operations and services.  It also has an EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) 145 certification for
  maintenance services, which are performed at the São Carlos maintenance center.

In 1998 we earned a US Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR 129) operating certification, and in 1999 a European certification from the Direction Générale de LAviation Civile  DGAC,
  allowing us to operate without restrictions in any European or U.S. city In addition to allowing us to operate scheduled flights to Miami and Paris, these certifications also allow us to operate scheduled flights to New York, Washington and
  Indianapolis in the United States and to Madrid, Lisbon, Barcelona, Frankfurt, Zurich, Amsterdam and Moscow.

All of these certifications, obtained as a result of our modern equipment levels and technical quality of our maintenance, rank us among the highest airlines in global aviation standards. Since 2000 we have had the
  Extended Twin Engine Operations (ETOPS) certification of 180 minutes for Airbus A330 model aircraft (the highest international level certification), proving that we are in compliance with the most stringent global aviation standards in this respect.
  We also have state-of-the-art equipment in Brazil, such as the Future Air Navigation Systems (FANS), which increases safety in congested air space and achieves fuel savings by using more direct routes.

The TAM Mercosur fleet consists of three Fokker 100 aircraft (sub-leased from TAM Linhas Aéreas), one Airbus A320 and one Cessna Caravan-model aircraft.

The average age of the TAM Linhas Aéreas fleet is one of the lowest in global aviation and is the lowest in Brazil: 5.2 years for Airbus A319/320 model aircraft, and 5.6 years for Airbus A330-200 model aircraft.
  With 115 aircraft in operation, the overall average age of our fleet is currently 6.7 years.

The following table sets forth the historical and projected development of our operational fleet at December 31 in each of the years indicated:

|(1) | Our fleet projection is based on the following: we currently have firm orders with Airbus for 47 additional A320 family aircraft, six A330 aircraft, two Airbus A 340 family aircraft and 22 Airbus A350 aircraft, with options with Airbus for up to 20
      additional A320 family aircraft and ten additional A350 aircraft. We also have firm orders with Boeing to lease four Boeing 777 aircraft, with four additional options. The projection also includes an additional four Airbus A320 aircraft that we may
      choose to add on a spot basis in future depending on demand for our services.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|   

We will phase out our entire fleet of Fokker-100 aircraft by mid-2008, at which point we will operate Airbus A320 family aircraft exclusively in the domestic market.

On March 19, 1998 we entered into an agreement with Airbus pursuant to which we agreed to lease 38 Airbus A319-100 and A320-200 aircraft. The last aircraft is scheduled to be delivered pursuant to this agreement in
  December 2010. On December 20, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Airbus pursuant to which we agreed to lease ten Airbus A350-900 aircraft. Each Airbus A350 will be capable of carrying up to 300 passengers. The A350 aircraft are scheduled to be
  delivered in 2014. In June 2006, we entered into an agreement with Airbus pursuant to which we agreed to lease 15 A319 aircraft, 16 A320 aircraft and six A330 aircraft. In November 2006, we entered into an agreement with Boeing pursuant to which we
  agreed to lease four Boeing 777 aircraft, with an additional four options. The four firm orders are scheduled for delivery in 2008. As part of this negotiation with Boeing, we entered into a separate agreement to temporarily lease three Boeing MD-11 aircraft to act as a bridge between November 2006 and delivery of the Boeing 777 aircraft in 2008. This operating lease agreement for the three MD-11 aircraft was made at
  a all in cost that is equal, considering both higher maintenance and lower leasing costs, to that we would have paid if we had leased Boeing 777 aircraft in that period.

Leasing agreements

We currently lease all of our aircraft (using long-term lease agreements) through TAM Linhas Aéreas. Leasing gives us greater flexibility to change the composition of our fleet relatively quickly in the event we
  need to.

All 115 of our aircraft are subject to operating leases, which require us to make periodic payments but do not include aircraft purchase options at the end of the agreement.  Pursuant to the terms of these agreements,
  aircraft are returned under the agreed conditions at the end of the lease. The lessor retains ownership of the aircraft, as well as the economic benefits and risks of ownership. We are responsible for maintaining and contracting insurance for the
  aircraft during the leasing period. Amounts corresponding to commitments for the leased equipment are not reflected on our balance sheet because these transactions do not include an aircraft purchase option. The duration of our operating lease
  agreements are up to 192 months after the delivery date of the respective aircraft and payments are adjusted based on variations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate and LIBOR.

Maintenance

We rigorously follow the maintenance plans proposed by the aircraft manufacturers and approved by the competent Brazilian and international aviation authorities. Accordingly, maintenance carried out on our aircraft may
  be divided into three general categories (i) line maintenance, (ii) heavy maintenance, and (iii) component repair and inspection. Line maintenance includes simple inspections up to A checks (the first inspection level), executed in
  transit and overnight without requiring any change to our operations.

Heavy maintenance includes more complex aircraft inspections and services requiring removal from operations for between five and eight days.

We have entered into a number of agreements with suppliers and service providers in order to assist with our heavy maintenance requirements, of which the following are material:

- a general terms agreement between TAM Linhas Aéreas and GE Engine Services Distribution, L.L.C., or GE, dated May 7, 2001, pursuant to which we have agreed to purchase certain spare engines and support equipment for both the spare engines
    that we have purchased from GE and certain engines that have already been installed on our operating fleet. We have also agreed to purchase certain product support services from GE. This agreement has no fixed termination date;
- an engine maintenance agreement between TAM Linhas Aéreas and MTU Motoren-und Turbinen-Union München GmbH, or MTU, dated September 14, 2000, or the TAY Agreement, pursuant to which MTU has agreed to provide certain maintenance,
    refurbishment, repair and modification services with respect to approximately 105 TAY650-15 aircraft engines.
    This is complemented by a novation and amendment agreement to the TAY Agreement, between us and Rolls-Royce Brazil Ltda., dated November 8, 2001 pursuant to which Rolls-Royce Brazil Ltda., replaced MTU as contract counterparty. This agreement
    terminates on June 30, 2015;
- an engine maintenance agreement between TAM Linhas Aéreas and MTU Maintenance Hanover GmbH, or MTU Hanover, pursuant to which MTU Hanover has agreed to provide certain maintenance, refurbishment, repair and modification services with respect
    to certain V2500-A5 engines. This agreement terminates on June 30, 2014; and
- an engine maintenance agreement between TAM Linhas Aéreas and United Technologies Inc., Pratt and Whitney Division, or Pratt and Whitney, dated September 14, 2000, pursuant to which Pratt and Whitney has agreed to perform maintenance, modification and/or overhaul of PW4168A engines, engine modules and the parts and components thereof. This agreement terminates on September 14, 2010.

Additional maintenance work on our aircraft is performed at hangars at the Congonhas and Guarulhos Airports in São Paulo (line maintenance) and our maintenance center in São Carlos (in the interior of the
  state of São Paulo) which is approximately 4.6 million square meters in size and which and has received EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) certification (JAR-145) for inspections of aircraft and aviation components.  Our São Carlos
  maintenance center is qualified to service all aircraft in our fleet (heavy maintenance and component repair and inspection). In 2006, our São Carlos maintenance center also received a certification from Boeing that allows it to service all
  types of Boeing aircraft.

Out of the approximately 1,500 maintenance professionals performing maintenance work on our aircraft, 800 (including engineers, supervisors, technicians and mechanics) are assigned to our São Carlos maintenance
  center.

Since we are qualified to perform most line and heavy maintenance services, we eliminate the need to transfer our aircraft to distant locations, saving us time and maintenance costs and increasing aircraft utilization
  rates.  For the maintenance of specific complex components (such as engines) we have signed long-term agreements with third parties, which tend to be the component manufacturers themselves. As a consequence of our codeshare agreements with United
  Airlines and Lufthansa, we also meet the US and European requirements in that regard.

Our maintenance professionals are trained by the manufacturers and suppliers themselves (including Airbus, Fokker, Rolls-Royce, General Electric and Pratt & Whitney) at their respective facilities abroad. In
  addition, we provide our professionals with the most modern equipment and software necessary for their training at our service academy in São Paulo (which we refer to as the TAM Service Academy).

In addition to the maintenance we perform on the aircraft we operate, we offer line and heavy maintenance services for third parties operating in Brazil using Airbus equipment (including the presidential aircraft),
  allowing us to reduce our fixed costs and increase our revenues in 2004 and 2005.

A significant part of our aircraft and vehicle maintenance costs are indexed to the U.S. dollar. For a description and analysis of the effect of exchange rate variations on our income, including fleet maintenance costs,
  see Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk  Exchange rate risk.

Fuel

Fuel costs are the largest component of our costs, representing 32.2% of our operating costs in 2007.

Fuel consumed in Brazil represents approximately 90% of our total consumption and is acquired through the distributors of Petrobrás, Shell and Exxon. We purchase fuel abroad from Exxon, Chevron, Texaco and Repsol
  YPF. Supply contracts for fuel in Brazil are normally made for a two year period and we are currently finalizing the renewal of our contracts. Supply contracts at our international bases normally have a term of one year. Approximately 95% of our
  fuel is purchased under into-plane terms, meaning that the supplier is responsible for delivering the fuel directly into the tanks of our aircraft. The fuel prices in the contracts we sign consist of three components (i) the price from
  the refinery, (ii) the supplier differential, and (iii) airport taxes and fees. The price of fuel is subject to international market variations in the price of oil. The supplier differential is the portion charged by the supplier (which consists of
  a fixed amount per liter charged during the contractual period) and reflects the cost of distribution, logistics and the distribution margin. Airport taxes and fees may vary by region and by airport. We have a department responsible for negotiating
  fuel purchase contracts and, as a result of the high volumes of fuel we purchase, we believe that are we are normally able to obtain more favorable terms than our competitors.

To reduce our exposure to international fuel price and exchange rate variations, we began in 2004 to enter into arrangements intended to hedge a minimum of 30% and a maximum of 80% of our projected fuel consumption for
  up to a rolling 24 month period. For a description and analysis of the effect of volatility in fuel prices on our income, see  Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk  Risks relating to variations in the price
  of oil. Another important cost reduction initiative involving fuel is our fuel tankering program pursuant to which we refuel aircraft in regions where fuel prices are relatively lower. We have also formed a multidisciplinary work
  group, involving the departments responsible for fuel, engineering, control, operations, dispatching and financing, to develop other measures to reduce fuel consumption in our fleet and spending.

Safety

Brazilian civil aviation follows the highest safety standards in the world. Brazil is classified as Category 1 in terms of the flight safety standards established by ICAO, which is the highest classification in
  existence.

Our top priority is the provision of safe transportation.  We maintain our aircraft in strict compliance with manufacturers specifications and all applicable safety regulations and perform routine daily
  maintenance. We rigorously comply with the standards established by the Air Accident Prevention Program (PPAA) of ANAC. We are also a member of IATA, the worldwide association of airlines. We participate in the coordination of the IATA Regional
  Flights Safety committee.  We are also members of the Flight Safety Foundation (the largest non-governmental organization for flight safety) and the Flight Safety Committee for Brazilian Airlines. In 2004, we obtained a JAR-145 certification from
  the European Aviation Safety Agency.

In January 2007, we became the first Brazilian airline to receive IOSA registration, widely recognized as a global standard for airline operational safety management. IOSA is an internationally recognized and accepted
  evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. An IOSA audit consists of over 700 standards in eight operational areas of an airline, including corporate organization and management systems, flight
  operations, flight dispatch, aircraft engineering and maintenance, cabin operations, ground handling, cargo operations and operational security.

In July 2006, we joined the United Kingdom Flight Safety Committee (UKFSC), an association of organizations and professionals dedicated to improving flight safety in the United Kingdom.

We were the first Latin American company to install the BASIS (British Airways Safety Information System) for processing abnormal events and the FOQA (Flight Operations Quality Assurance) for the systematic analysis of
  information recorded during every flight.

Notwithstanding our high safety levels, air transportation service is subject to events beyond our control. In October 1996, one of our Fokker 100 aircraft crashed during departure, with 99 deaths. Although litigation
  is still pending with respect to this accident, any potential awards are covered by our insurance policies. On July 17, 2007, TAM flight 3054 from Porto Alegre to São PauloCongonhas had an accident during landing at Congonhas airport.
  There were no survivors aboard the aircraft and additional fatalities in a TAM cargo facility into which the aircraft collided. See Item 8. Financial Information  A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information  Legal
  Proceedings  Proceedings filed against us  Damage claims relating to accidents.

Insurance

We maintain insurance policies as required by law and the terms of our aircraft leasing agreements. The scope of these policies includes aircraft all risks coverage for hull including war risks and third party legal
  liability for passengers, cargo, and baggage and injuries to third parties on the ground. Our current policies, which will be in force until 19 December 2008, follow practices adopted by the international civil aviation industry.

We have also contracted asset insurance against risk of theft, fire, flood, electrical damage and similar matters for equipment and buildings we own or for which we are responsible, including airport areas where we have
  operations. Similarly, we have engaged vehicle insurance against risks of robbery, theft, fire and civil liability against third parties for all vehicles we own or for which we are responsible.

We have also contracted liability insurance in respect of our directors and officers, the current term of which is due to expire on 23 April 2009.

Information Technology

We have a policy of investing significant amounts in information technology systems that enhance our operating processes, allowing us to provide higher quality services to our passengers, in addition to giving us
  greater flexibility and speed in our operations.

In 2004 we introduced the e-TAM portal, a tool that integrates our entire sales chain, from the time of reservation to passenger boarding. Moreover, data obtained from the e-TAM portal allows us to offer
  passengers a set of customized services. All of our domestic reservations are made through the portal environment.  The use of the e-TAM portal allows us to reduce the cost of reservations and ticket issuance by consolidating the GDSs previously used for almost all our reservations. Currently, GDS is used only for tickets issued abroad.

As discussed in Item 4. Information on the Company  A. History and development of the company  Capital Investments, we entered into a loan agreement with BNDES on November 10, 2005 and are using
  the proceeds from such loan to invest in the software used in our e-TAM portal and the software we use for cost control and managing spare parts and supplies.

Technology allowed us to be the first Brazilian airline to develop and install self-service check-in kiosks in airports. With over 50 units operating in Brazils major airports, the kiosks allow passengers who
  purchase e-tickets to check-in and select their seat in less than 10 seconds, reducing lines in the check-in halls and on boarding of the aircraft. In 2005, 2006 and 2007 approximately 375,000, 1,003,657 and 2,703,838 passengers respectively
  checked in through the self-service kiosks.

In October 2003, we signed a general services agreement with Sabre Travel International Limited, pursuant to which we were granted a license (relating to the provision of maintenance services) for electronic reservation
  technology and database backup, allowing us to better utilize our fleet and network.  This agreement will remain in force until October 2013, unless previously cancelled by either party.

The TAM Loyalty Program and special services system are also important tools for obtaining information on the profile of our passengers.  The TAM Loyalty Program allows us to monitor the activity of
  passengers registered with the program, recording information on each passenger flight in addition to personal information and preferences (such as preferred seat, special meal requests and other data obtained through our contacts or customer
  surveys). The special services system allows the crew to input data on preferences of our passengers directly to our database. This data is also used to study passengers, offer promotions and new services and define our advertising
  message.

Our DOV-line tracing system monitors all aircraft baggage and cargo, following the location of items inside the aircraft, for proper weight balancing. A balanced aircraft is critical for a safe flight and has the added
  benefit of reducing fuel consumption. The DOV-line tracing system also manages crew distribution.

Seasonality

The Brazilian passenger air transportation market is subject to seasonality, as there is always higher demand for air transportation services in the second half of the year. In this regard, we are impacted to a similar
  extent to the rest of the market, though this is mitigated by the fact that we have a higher concentration of business travel than the market average (and business travel is less sensitive to seasonality). Our other operations do not vary
  significantly as a result of seasonality.

Competition

Domestic

Airlines in Brazil compete primarily in terms of routes, price, flight frequency, service reliability, brand recognition and benefits offered to passengers, such as loyalty programs and customer service.  We believe our
  market leadership and the TAM Loyalty Program enhance our competitive performance in many of these areas.

Our competitors, both actual and potential, include Brazilian airlines, airlines operating on regional air routes and new participants in the market, who operate primarily on regional transportation networks. Our
  principal competitor is Gol. In previous years, Varig had been one of our major competitors. However, Varig filed for bankruptcy protection in Brazil and the United States in June 2005. Varigs assets and operations were sold to various
  investors over the course of 2006 and, on December 14, 2006, Varig ceased operations altogether. On December 15, 2006, a new company, VRG Linhas Aéreas S.A., initiated operations on some of the routes previously used by Varig. On March 24,
  2007 Gol announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire VRG Linhas Aéreas S.A. In compliance with applicable CADE requirements, Gol and Varig operate as separate airlines until final approval from CADE for the acquisition is
  obtained.

To a much lesser degree, we also face competition from a number of significantly smaller airlines operating in the domestic market. At December 31, 2007, 15 different airlines together had a share of the 11.5% of the
  domestic market that is not served by TAM and Gol (who together have a share of approximately 88.5% of the domestic market).

ANAC recently announced changes to the policy pursuant to which airlines receive slot allocations.  The ANAC resolution provided that 80% of new slots would be distributed to existing airlines, which these slots being
  divided evenly (without regard to market shares). New slots are only available to airlines that have a history of punctuality, no pending proceedings with ANAC and a positive shareholders equity. The remaining 20% of slots are available to new
  entrants. See  Regulation of the Brazilian Civil Aviation Industry  Rights to Operate Air Routes  Policy on slots.

The graph below shows the history of market participation on domestic routes, calculated by reference to RPKs, for the major Brazilian, for the periods indicated (based on data provided by ANAC):



Source: ANAC.

Some of our competitors have significant levels of debt and their financial condition and prospects are uncertain.  If our competitors in financial difficulty succeed in restructuring their debt and strengthening
  themselves in the market, they may be able to offer cheaper fares on the routes we operate, or compete with us in other ways (even if our operations are more efficient).

We also face competition, albeit to a lesser degree, from land transportation companies such as road transport companies.

International

The international market is substantially more competitive than the domestic market, with large international airlines as more experienced and larger competitors. To ensure increased competitiveness, airlines are
  dependent on partnerships and codeshare agreements with regard to their international operations.

On international routes, airlines compete primarily on the basis of routes, services, price and mileage and frequent flyer programs. We offer 62 international flights weekly to Buenos Aires, Santiago, Asunción,
  Montevideo, Ciudad del Este, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Cochabamba, Cordoba, Punta del Este, Caracas, Miami, New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid and Milan. We also operate a daily flight to Lima, Peru, through a codeshare with TACA Airlines.
  Our codeshare agreements with United Airlines and Lufthansa allow our passengers to make connections to destinations in Latin America, the United States and Europe. We also have other agreements allowing us to offer our passengers a wide range of
  destinations around the world.

In the international market, our main competition is from major international airlines that serve the markets in which we currently operate. Our average international market share and international demand (measured by
  RPK) in the month of December 2007 was 67.5% and 66.1%, respectively. Brazilian airlines were responsible for approximately 30% of international seat capacity in 2006, with the remainder offered by non-Brazilian airlines.

Overview of the Industry

General

Brazil is the fifth largest domestic aviation market in the world, covering a vast area (greater than the continental United States) and a population of approximately 182 million people (according to the Brazilian
  Geography and Statistics Institute (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, or IBGE). According to IATA, the São Paulo  Rio de Janeiro shuttle route is one of the busiest shuttle routes in the world (after
  the New York  Washington D.C. and London  Paris routes). Growth of the Brazilian commercial aviation industry is closely related to growth of Brazilian GDP. According to ANAC, the Brazilian commercial aviation industry transported more
  than 38.6 million passengers in the domestic market in 2005.

Brazilian civil aviation follows the highest established standards of flight safety in the world. Brazil is classified as Category 1 under the flight safety standards established by the International Civil Aviation
  Organization, the same classification attributed to the United States and Canada.

Airlines operating in the Brazilian commercial aviation market can be divided into the following four categories:

- domestic airlines, which provide public transportation service on a scheduled basis within Brazil and operate mainly with large aircraft between the major cities of Brazil;
- regional airlines, which provide public transportation service on a scheduled basis within Brazil, generally connecting between smaller cities and bigger cities in Brazil. Typically, regional airlines operate with smaller aircraft, such as turbo-
    props;
- charter airlines, which provide transportation service on a non-scheduled basis; and

40

Table of Contents

- international airlines, which provide international transportation services on a scheduled basis to and from Brazil.

The market for scheduled airline service in Brazil includes two main types of passengers: those traveling on business and those travelling for leisure.  Business passengers generally place more importance to factors
  such as frequency of flights, reliability, availability of direct flights, extent of area served and value-added services (and are becoming increasingly sensitive to price). Leisure passengers generally place more importance on price and tend to be
  more flexible regarding scheduling of their trips.

The business travel sector is the largest and most profitable segment of the air transport industry in Brazil.  We believe that business trips represented approximately 70% of total demand in Brazil for domestic flights
  in 2007, a number we believe is significantly greater than the proportion of domestic business trips in the international civil aviation sector.  In Brazil, small and medium-sized companies (which comprise a large proportion of our customer base)
  place significant importance on receiving good service from their airline, while maintaining a balance between quality, frequency of flights and low prices.

In 2006, the ten busiest airports accounted for 17.9% of all domestic traffic in terms of departures and arrivals, according to ANAC.

The domestic civil aviation market is principally served by TAM and Gol who together represented over 88.5% of all domestic routes at December 31, 2007, in terms of RPK. According to ANAC, at December 31, 2007, our
  share of the domestic market was 49%, while that of Gol was 39.5% respectively.

With TAM and Gol together having a share of approximately 88.5% of the domestic market at December 31, 2007, the remaining approximate 11.5% share was served by 15 different airlines. This market profile is consistent
  with the historical make-up of the domestic market, which has traditionally seen a small number of airlines holding the vast majority of domestic market share and a much larger number of airlines (the identity of whom has continuously changed over
  the years as different airlines have entered and left the market) holding the remaining portion.

On June 17, 2005 Varig became the first Brazilian company to file before the Courts of the State of Rio de Janeiro for an in-court reorganization under Law No. 11,101 of February 9, 2005 (which we refer to as the New
  bankruptcy law). Previously, the Brazilian Aeronautical Code provided that concessionaires of air public transportation were not allowed to apply for an in-court reorganization. During the period of this in-court reorganization, Varig faced a
  drastic deterioration in its financial and operational condition.  It ceased operation of several flights and withdrew from important domestic and international markets. On December 18, 2005, the creditors assembly of Varig approved its
  in-court reorganization plan but this was amended by the creditors on May 9, 2006 in order to permit a judicial disposal of Varigs flight operating unit. On July 17, 2006, the flight operating unit of Varig was sold in a public bid process
  held by the Judiciary of the State of Rio de Janeiro to VarigLog Linhas Aéreas S.A., a former subsidiary of Varig that was also sold on November 11, 2005 pursuant to the in-court reorganization plan). On March 24, 2007 VarigLog and Gol
  announced that Gol had entered into an agreement to acquire VRG Linhas Aéreas S.A., which is VarigLogs subsidiary that operates Varigs routes. In compliance with applicable CADE requirements, Gol and Varig operate as separate
  airlines until final approval from CADE for the acquisition is obtained.

There have been certain problems regarding the organization and operation of the Brazilian air traffic control system.  These problems adversely affected our operations during periods of 2006 and 2007 and continue to
  adversely affect us when the air traffic control system faces interruptions in service. Discussions are currently ongoing among the applicable governmental authorities with a view to possible changes in the organizational structure of the air
  traffic control system that are intended to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future. We cannot give any assurance as to whether these discussions will lead to improvements in the air traffic control system.

Trends In the Domestic Market

In the past 34 years, the domestic market has generally grown in terms of RPK, except during times of significant economic recession (such as the oil crisis and the debt-moratorium crisis in the 1980s and the economic
  recession and political instability of the early 1990s).

During the past ten years, the annual air-traffic passenger growth rate, in terms of RPK, was 9.6%, compared to an annual growth rate of available capacity, in terms of ASK, of 7.6% . Load factors have increased
  continually since 2002, averaging 65.5% . Domestic passenger traffic and available capacity rates for the period between 1997 and 2007 are set out in the following table:

Historically, growth in domestic civil aviation revenue has generally exceeded growth in GDP. From 1997 to 2007, domestic civil aviation RPK grew 11% per year, while the annual GDP growth rate in the same period was
  2.7%, according to ANAC and Central Bank data.

The variable factors that have the greatest influence on the commercial aviation market are the price of fuel and variations in exchange rates because fuel is the most important element of costs for airlines and most
  elements of the market (including fuel) are tied to the U.S. dollar.

The influence of the Brazilian government on the industry, through industry regulations, has also had a significant impact on the performance of airlines operating in the market. From 1986 to 1993, the Brazilian
  government imposed more rigid control over local civil aviation activities because of high inflation levels which led to a series of economic crises in Brazil during that entire period. The control exerted by the Brazilian government consisted
  mainly of monitoring the prices of air fares charged by airlines and supervising the use and expansion of their routes. In 1994, after successful efforts to control inflation and stabilize the Brazilian economy, the Brazilian government (acting
  through the aviation authorities) began to deregulate civil aviation activities, principally by gradually reducing government control over the airlines local activities. Even though Brazilian civil aviation is still a regulated sector,
  ANACs current rules are significantly more flexible than the regulations which were previously in effect and a series of basic and essential regulations have been frequently issued by the relevant authorities in order to harmonize the
  Brazilian regulatory environment with international, more modern models.

We believe the current regulatory regime has favored the financial performance of Brazilian civil aviation.  As a result of imposing a more rational supply of services and ending implicit subsidies to less competitive
  airlines, we believe that the Brazilian government has enabled more competitive airlines such as TAM and Gol to better utilize their aircraft in an environment of healthy competition, which in turn has led to improved average returns in the domestic
  market. Such regulatory system is undergoing certain structural changes.  See Item 3.  Key Information  D.  Risk Factors  Risks Relating to the Civil Aviation Industry and our Business  The regulatory structure of Brazilian
  civil aviation is undergoing change and we have not yet been able to evaluate the results of this change on our business and results of operations and  Regulation of the Brazilian Civil Aviation Industry  Rights to Operate
  Air Routes  Future legislation.

Regulation of the Brazilian Civil Aviation Industry

Overview

Scheduled air transportation services are considered public services in Brazil and, accordingly, are subject to extensive regulation by the High Command of Aeronautics of the Ministry of Defense, or the High Command of
  Aeronautics, CONAC and ANAC. Scheduled air transportation services are also regulated by the Brazilian federal constitution and by the Brazilian Aeronautical Code.

The Brazilian Aeronautical Code sets out the principal rules relating to airport infrastructure and operations, flight protection and safety, certification of airlines, aircraft leasing structure, liability, transfers,
  registration and licensing, training of crews, concessions, inspection and control of airlines, public and private air cargo transport services, airlines civil liability and penalties for violations.

Table of Contents

CONAC is the Brazilian Presidents advisory body. Its board of advisors include the Ministry of Defense, the Minister of Civil Affairs, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Development, Industry and Foreign
  Trade, the Minister of Foreign Relations, The Minister of Tourism and the Command of the High Command of Aeronautics. CONAC has the authority to establish policies for the Brazilian civil aviation industry that are adopted and carried out by the
  High Command of Aeronautics and ANAC.  CONAC establishes general rules related to adequate representation of Brazil in treaties, conventions and other matters related to international air transportation, airport infrastructure, the granting of
  additional funds to be used to benefit airlines and airports (based on strategic, economic and leisure considerations), the coordination of civil aviation operations, air safety, concessions for the operation of airline services and permits for the
  provision of related commercial services.

ANAC is the main civil aviation authority in Brazil and reports directly to the Ministry of Defense. ANAC is an independent regulatory agency associated with, but not under the control of, the Ministry of Defense and it
  operates as an independent agency for an indefinite term. ANAC principally has the authority to: (i) regulate, inspect and supervise services rendered by airlines operating in Brazil, (ii) grant concessions, permits and authorizations for air
  transport operations and airport infrastructure services, (iii) represent the Brazilian government before international civil aviation organizations, (iv) control, register and inspect civil aircraft, and (v) ensure that air transportation services
  are provided under free market principles.

The Brazilian government has recognized and approved the three main international conventions related to world commercial air transportation operations: the Chicago Convention of 1944, the Geneva Convention of 1948 and
  the Montreal Convention of 1999.

Air transportation services concession

The Brazilian federal constitution grants the Brazilian government the exclusive authority to explore air transportation services and airport infrastructure and provides that the government can render these services
  either directly or indirectly through third parties (by means concessions or permits). According to the Brazilian Aeronautical Code and regulations issued by the High Command of Aeronautics, any operation of scheduled air transportation services
  requires a concession granted by the High Command of Aeronautics. The terms of each concession must be formalized by means of a concession agreement entered into with ANAC. Any company seeking a concession must meet certain economic, financial,
  technical, operational and administrative requirements established by ANAC. In addition, all companies seeking a concession must (i) be legal entities constituted in Brazil, (ii) obtain a valid Air Operation Approval Certification (CHOA) 
  corresponding to the former Air Transport Operation Approval Certification (CHETA), and (iii) comply with certain restrictions regarding ownership of its shares or quotas. See  Rights to Operate Air Routes  Restrictions against the
  ownership of shares in airlines operating under concessions.

ANAC has the authority to revoke a concession in the event of any failure by an airline to comply with the rules of the Brazilian Aeronautical Code, supplemental laws and regulations and the terms of the applicable
  concession agreement.

Article 122 of Law No. 8,666 of June 21, 1993 provides that concessions must be regulated by specific procedures stipulated in the Brazilian Aeronautical Code. The Brazilian Aeronautical Code and the regulations issued
  by ANAC do not expressly establish any bidding procedures in relation to concessions. Accordingly, it is not currently necessary to conduct bidding prior to awarding concessions for the operation of air transportation services (such as ours) as
  would be required in the case of other public services generally regulated by laws applicable to public concessions.

Our concession to operate scheduled air transportation of passengers, cargo and mail at a national level was obtained on December 9, 1996 through the issuance of Ordinance 816/GM5 and the execution of the relevant
  concession agreement, which will remain valid until December 9, 2011. Although we can offer no guarantee that we will be able to renew our concession, we do not currently foresee any problems in relation to such renewal.

Importation of aircraft into Brazil

The importation of civil and commercial aircraft into Brazil is subject to the prior approval of COTAC (a sub-department of ANAC).  In authorizing the importation of aircraft, COTAC analyzes, among other things, the
  need to import the asset and the financial terms in relation to the proposed transaction. Upon obtaining COTACs authorization, the importing party must follow the other general procedures relating to the importation of goods into Brazil.
  Finally, the importing party must register the aircraft with RAB.

Aircraft registration

The registration of aircraft in Brazil is governed by the Brazilian Aeronautical Code. The Brazilian Aeronautical Code provides that no aircraft is authorized to fly in Brazilian airspace or to land in or take-off from
  Brazilian territory without being duly registered. In order to remain registered with a Brazilian registration number, an aircraft must have both a certificate of registration and an airworthiness certificate (certificado de navegabilidade), each of which are issued by RAB after a technical inspection by ANAC. The certificate of registration issued by ANAC attributes Brazilian nationality to the aircraft and proves for its enrollment with the proper authorities.
  The airworthiness certificate is generally valid for six years from the date on which ANAC conducted its inspection of the aircraft and provided authorization for it to fly over Brazilian airspace (subject to continued compliance with certain
  technical requirements and conditions). The registration of any aircraft can be cancelled in the event that the authorities verify that such aircraft is not in compliance with the requirements for registration (in particular any failure to adapt the
  aircraft to any safety requirements specified by ANAC or by the Brazilian Aeronautical Code).

All agreements relating to aircraft registered in Brazil, including sale and purchase agreements, financial commercial leasing agreements, operating leases, mortgages (and amendments to any such agreements) must be
  submitted to the Brazilian Aeronautical Registry (RAB) for the purpose of publishing the transactions contemplated thereby and updating aircraft registration.

Rights to Operate Air Routes

Domestic routes

ANAC has the authority to grant Brazilian airlines the right to operate any new route. Any airline seeking to operate a new route must submit studies proving both the technical and economic feasibility of the proposed
  route (in form satisfactory to ANAC) and must fulfill certain conditions in relation to the awarding of those routes. In respect of awarding any new route or approving any change to existing routes, ANAC evaluates the infrastructure capacity of the
  airports from which the route will be operating and the increase in demand and competition between airlines. In addition, approval for operation of a route is made subject to the condition that the route must be operated on a scheduled basis. The
  operation of a route by any airline can be cancelled in the event that airline (i) fails to initiate operation of the route within 15 days of receiving authorization, (ii) fails to maintain at least 75% of the flights established in the respective
  National Air Transport Schedule (hotran) for a period of 90 days, or (iii) suspends operations for more than 30 days. ANACs approval of new routes or changes to existing routes is given in the course of an administrative proceeding and
  does not require any amendment to the applicable concession agreement.

Once awarded, the routes must be immediately reflected in the hotran(the report of the itinerary of all routes an airline operates), which will then become an integral part of each airlines database at
  ANAC. The hotrannot only establishes the routes but also the arrival and departure times at certain airports, none of which can be changed without the prior approval of ANAC. Brazilian civil aviation laws and regulations provide that an
  airline may not sell or transfer routes to another airline.

International routes

International airlines are those with points of departure in Brazilian territory and points of arrival in foreign territory, operated by Brazilian companies previously designated by the Brazilian government and operated
  in accordance with the terms of bilateral agreements with foreign governments. The rights to international routes between major cities (as well as the corresponding landing rights) are derived from bilateral air transportation agreements negotiated
  between the government of Brazil and foreign governments. Pursuant to the terms of those agreements, each government grants the other the right to designate one or more domestic airlines to operate scheduled service between certain destinations in
  each country.

Requests for new international routes or changes in existing routes must be submitted by each interested Brazilian airline to SRI, which evaluates each request based on the provisions of the applicable bilateral
  agreement, the availability of existing routes between the two countries and the general policies of the Brazilian aviation authorities.  Following such evaluation, SRI may take any necessary steps required in relation to qualification of the
  international route.

Ordinance No. 569/GC5 of September 5, 2000 provides that international air transportation services may be cancelled in the event that such services are (i) not implemented or operated for more than six months, (ii) the
  airline is proven to be incapable of performing the service, or (iii) the airlines fails to comply with the agreements, laws and regulations of the High Command of Aeronautics.

Policy on slots

Each hotranrepresents the authorization for an airline to land and take off at certain airports within a predetermined space of time. That space of time is known as an airport slot and establishes that an
  airline can operate in a specific airport at the times contained in the hotran.

Brazilian law provides that a slot is a ANAC concession reflected in an airlines hotran. As is in the case with routes, a slot is not owned by the airline and may not be transferred to another airline.

The more congested Brazilian airports are subject to traffic restrictions via slot allocation policies.  On July 3, 2006, ANAC issued Resolution No. 2 which set forth the new rules to the distribution of domestic slots.
  This resolution establishes that 20% of the available slots of a restricted airport will be distributed among new entrants and 80% of the available slots will be distributed among existing airlines. In addition, ANAC requires that any airline
  applying for a slot must have a record of punctuality, have no pending proceedings with ANAC and have a positive shareholders equity. Although we comply with all conditions and requirements to apply for new slots, we can offer no guarantee
  that new slots will be allocated to us.

The Departmento de Controle do Espaço Aéreo, or DECEA, is responsible for coordinating and inspecting the infrastructure support facilities of airports.  DECEA, acting jointly with ANAC and
  Infraero, also conducts studies at all Brazilian airports to determine the maximum operating capacity of each airport.  Congonhas airport in São Paulo currently has slot restrictions.  We currently have the largest number of slots of any
  airline at Congonhas airport. Investments currently being made in Brazilian aviation infrastructure are expected to enable an increase in aircraft operations at congested airports and, consequently, the granting of new slots to airlines.

Aviation infrastructure and the airport system

The Brazilian federal constitution grants the Brazilian government the exclusive authority to explore air transportation services and airport infrastructure and provides that the government can render these services
  either directly or indirectly through third parties (by means of concessions or permits). The installation and operation of any aviation infrastructure services inside or outside an airport will always require the prior authorization of the aviation
  authority, which will also supervise them.

Ground structures are required for the operation of air navigation systems. Any surface structure which is intended to meet the needs of air navigation is included under the category of aviation infrastructure.
  Accordingly, aviation infrastructure is broadly defined and includes all ground organizations, assets and facilities that support the development of air navigation.  Aviation infrastructure is made up of the group of ground agencies, facilities or
  structures that support air navigation in relation to safety, schedules and efficiency, including (i) the airport system, (ii) the flight protection and safety system, (iii) the Brazilian Aviation Registration system; (iv) the air accident
  investigation and prevention system, (v) the system of air transport safety and coordination facilities, (vi) the system of personnel training and education for the air navigation and aviation infrastructure, (vii) the aviation industrys
  system of coordination, and (viii) the aviation infrastructure coordination system.

The airport system consists of all Brazilian landing fields (military and civilian, private and public) used for domestic aviation and international flights. Airports are public landing fields equipped with
  installations and facilities to support aircraft operations and the departure and arrival of passengers and cargo. The construction, administration, and operation of airports are subject to the rules, instructions, coordination and control of the
  aviation authority.  Airports include areas intended for airport administration, public agencies that function on a mandatory or optional basis in the airports (such as those relating to the Federal Revenue Service (customs), the Ministry of Justice
  (federal police), the Ministry of Health (health supervision), or the Ministry of Agriculture (agricultural inspection)). In addition to these administrative areas, airports contain areas for passenger, baggage and cargo service and movement and for
  the general public (including vehicle parking facilities). Airports are open to traffic and the public by means of the approval of the aviation authorities.  Airports may be built, maintained and operated directly by the Brazilian government or
  through concessions, authorizations or permits.  Airports may also be operated by specialized quasi-public enterprises under the Brazilian government or its subsidiaries, reporting to the High Command of Aeronautics (such as INFRAERO), by Brazilian
  states or Municipalities and by legal entities considered technically, economically and financially qualified by the aviation authorities.

INFRAERO, a government agency reporting to the Ministry of Defense, has the function of managing, operating, and controlling most Brazilian federal airports (including their control towers and airport safety
  operations). Smaller airports and regional airports may belong to state or municipal governments and, in such cases, are frequently managed by local government agencies. INFRAERO performs safety activities at most Brazilian airports, including the verification of passengers and baggage, cargo safety and general airport safety measures.

Table of Contents

The use of areas within federal airports (such as hangars and check-in counters) is subject to a concession-for-use granted by INFRAERO. Where there is more than one candidate to use a certain airport area, INFRAERO may
  institute a bidding process.

Prices

Brazilian airlines are freely able to set their prices for domestic routes but must register the prices with ANAC for monitoring purposes. ANAC constantly monitors airfares and may intervene in the market and in
  scheduled air service concessions to prevent acts against economic order and to protect the interests of consumers.  Airlines may establish price discounts or follow other promotional strategies. Airlines must submit any promotional passenger fare
  discounts greater than 65% of ANACs reference rate per kilometer to ANAC at least five business days in advance. Reference rates are established by ANAC based on Brazilian civil aviations average operating costs.

International prices are established in accordance with bilateral agreements. In addition, airlines operating international routes must negotiate their rates with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and
  then submit the negotiated rates to ANAC for approval.

Civil liability

The Brazilian Aeronautical Code and the Montreal Convention of 1999 limit an aircraft operators liability for damage to third parties caused by ground or air operations, or for damage resulting from persons or
  objects being thrown from aircraft. The Brazilian National Congress approved the Montreal Convention of 1999 by means of Legislative Decree No. 59 of April 18, 2006 and Decree No. 5,910 of September 27, 2006. The Montreal Convention replaced the
  Warsaw Convention of 1929 and will have the effect of increasing the liability limits for civil aircraft operators. The Brazilian courts, however, have occasionally disregarded the liability limits set forth in both the Warsaw Convention of 1929 and
  its successor, the Montreal Convention of 1999, and have granted compensation based on the Civil Code and Consumer Defense Code (which do not expressly set out maximum liability limits).

In response to the substantial increase in insurance premiums to cover damage from terrorist attacks after the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, the Brazilian government introduced a law authorizing it to
  assume responsibility for damage caused to third parties as a result of terrorist attacks or acts of war against aircraft pertaining to Brazilian airlines. See Item 4. Information on the Company  B. Business Overview 
  Insurance.

Environmental legislation and regulations

Brazilian airlines are subject to various federal, state and municipal environmental protection laws, including in relation to the disposal of materials and chemical substances and noise pollution generated by aircraft.
  These laws and regulations are applied by the state and municipal governmental authorities, which can impose administrative sanctions following violations, in addition to liability in the civil and criminal courts for any party violating the laws
  and regulations. For example, according to a ANAC ordinance, the operation of scheduled commercial flights departing from or arriving at Congonhas Airport is subject to a noise ban from 11:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M. because of the airports proximity
  to residential areas in the city of São Paulo.

Restrictions against the ownership of shares in airlines operating under concessions

The Brazilian Aeronautical Code provides that, in order to be entitled to a concession to operate scheduled service, and subject to the carve-outs described below, 80% of an airlines voting capital must be held
  directly or indirectly by Brazilian citizens and certain management positions must be held only by Brazilian citizens.

The Brazilian Aeronautical Code sets out certain restrictions against transferring the capital of scheduled airlines operating under concessions (such as our subsidiary, TAM Linhas Aéreas) including the following
  restrictions:

- shares with voting rights must be registered and the companys by-laws must prohibit the conversion of preferred shares with no voting rights into shares with voting rights;

46

---

##### 

Table of Contents

- ANACs prior approval of any share transfer, regardless of the investors nationality, which would result in (i) a change in the companys control, (ii) the concessionaires ownership of more than 10% of the companys
    capital, or (iii) a transfer of more than 2% of the companys capital stock;
- the company must submit to ANAC in the first month of each six-month period a detailed chart of shareholder participation, including a list of shareholders and a list of all share transfers that occurred during the six-month period; and
- based on the information in the chart described above, ANAC may determine that subsequent transfers must be subject to its prior approval.

Our corporate purpose is the management of corporate participation in airlines. We hold shares representing the shareholding control of TAM Linhas Aéreas, which, in turn, is a company operating under a concession
  for the operation of scheduled air transportation services. The Brazilian Civil Aviation code provides that the restrictions against share transfers described above apply only to companies operating under concessions for the operation of scheduled
  air transportation service and, accordingly, do not apply to us.

Future legislation

On March 28, 2001, CONAC published for public consultation a draft of a bill to replace the Brazilian Aeronautical Code and modernize the basic laws and regulations relating to the industry. In general, this draft deals
  with matters related to civil aviation, including airport concessions, consumer protection, increased foreign shareholding participation in airlines, limitation of airlines civil liability, compulsory insurance and fines. However, at the date
  of this annual report there are no relevant discussions or developments in respect of this draft bill.

Federal intervention

The executive branch of the government may intervene in Brazilian civil aviation companies whenever their operations or financial situations jeopardize the continuation, efficiency and safety of Brazilian air
  transportation services. The purpose of federal intervention is to re-establish normal service by the company and the intervention may last as long as necessary to achieve this purpose, though it may not exceed a period of two years. In the event
  that a technical inspection conducted before or after the decree of federal intervention demonstrates that the re-establishment of normal service would be impractical, the federal intervention can be converted to extra-judicial liquidation, provided
  at least half the companys debts can be liquidated by means of a sale of its assets. In the event that the companys assets are not sufficient to pay at least half of the companys debts (or in the event that there is evidence of
  fraud), the federal intervention or extra-judicial liquidation must be converted to bankruptcy.

New bankruptcy law

On February 9, 2005, the President of Brazil sanctioned the New Bankruptcy Law. The New Bankruptcy Law, which became effective on June 9, 2005 and which replaced the current bankruptcy law (Decree-Law No. 7,661/45),
  introduced significant innovations in the Brazilian bankruptcy system. In general, the New Bankruptcy Law creates new processes of extra-judicial recovery and judicial recovery (the latter being a replacement for current bankruptcy protection) and
  introduces other relevant changes in the bankruptcy process. Business owners and business partnerships will be subject to the New Bankruptcy Law, including those whose purpose is to operate air services or aviation infrastructure of any kind, and
  those who are currently prevented from filing for bankruptcy protection.

Through the extra-judicial recovery process, a debtor may ask the judiciary to approve agreements with one or more classifications of creditors or with groups of creditors of the same classification with similar payment
  terms. The plan may not include credits of a labor or tax nature or those derived from future exchange contracts, leasing agreements or fiduciary agreements. Once approved, the plan will apply to all creditors who adhered to it and will be binding
  on all creditors included in its scope, even those who did not sign the plan, provided that the debtor obtained the approval of at least three-fifths of the creditors of each class of creditors.

The judicial recovery process consists of judicial action intended to remedy the debtors financial problems and enable it to continue its operations (provided that the economic feasibility of continuing operations
  can be proven). Unlike the current Brazilian bankruptcy protection system, which merely covers unauthenticated credits, the judicial recovery process obliges all prior creditors to go to court to recover credits, including labor creditors, except credits of a labor or tax nature or those derived from future exchange contracts, leasing agreements or fiduciary agreements. The recovery plan submitted by the debtor must present a
  proposal for the payment of debts, indicating the means of recovery to be utilized. In the event that a creditor should object to the plan proposed by the debtor, the judge must call a meeting of the creditors to decide whether to accept or refuse
  the plan. In the case of refusal, the judge must declare the debtor bankrupt. In the case of acceptance and subsequent granting of judicial recovery, the original obligations of the debtor will be novated.

Table of Contents

The principal innovations introduced by the New Bankruptcy Law include (i) the requirement of a minimum amount of credit necessary for the creditor to request the debtors bankruptcy; (ii) elimination of suspensive
  bankruptcy protection, (iii) the possibility of a rapid sale of assets (with priority given to sales of blocks of assets), and (iv) an alteration in the order of credit classification.

In the case of judicial recovery and bankruptcy of airlines, the exercise of rights derived from commercial aircraft leasing agreements (or parts thereof) will not be suspended.

D. Property, Plant and Equipment

In 2001, we inaugurated our maintenance center in São Carlos, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, which occupies an area of approximately 4.6 million square meters, with 50,000 square meters of
  building area.  At this center, we perform maintenance on aircraft and components of TAM as well as other Latin American airlines.

The TAM Service Academy is located in an eight-story building in São Paulo (close to Congonhas Airport) and covers an area of 12,000 square meters. The TAM Service Academy is the largest and most modern aviation
  training center in Latin America and is dedicated to training pilots, flight attendants, customer service and administrative staff. The TAM Service Academy has the capacity to accommodate over 750 persons for training each day.

We have entered into concession agreements with management of different airports for the use of areas to provide services in passenger terminals, including check-in halls, passenger sales areas in airports and
  operational support areas.  These agreements provide for periodic adjustments in the amounts paid for the concessions and renewal conditions. We also have a concession for the use of hangars and cargo terminals in airports throughout Brazil.  These
  include areas in the passenger terminals of Guarulhos, Congonhas and Recife Airports, cargo terminals at the Salvador, Recife, and Vitória Airports and aircraft maintenance hangars at the Belém, Cuiabá and Goiânia
  Airports.  We also have approximately 40,000 square meters of space for aircraft maintenance, parts storage and administration at Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, the location of our headquarters.

A. Operating Results

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Brazilian macroeconomic conditions

Our revenues and profitability are affected by conditions in the Brazilian economy in general.

According to ANAC, growth in the Brazilian civil aviation market showed a close correlation with growth in Brazilian GDP. In terms of RPKs, the Brazilian domestic flight market decreased by 5.7% in 2003 and resumed
  growth at a rate of 12.1% in 2004, 19.4% in 2005, 12.3% in 2006 and 11.9% in 2007. In the past three years, the growth rate of Brazilian domestic RPKs was approximately four times that of the Brazilian GDP. We believe that Brazilian GDP is an
  important factor in determining our capacity for future growth and our results of operations.

Between September 2004 and May 2005, the Central Bank raised interest rates from 16.00% to 19.75%, in order to manage inflation. The impact of these rate rises was to slow economic activity in Brazil during 2005, with
  GDP growth of 2.3% for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to 4.9% for the year ended December 31, 2004.  These rate rises were also successful in controlling inflation. Levels of inflation are now within the target range imposed by the
  Brazilian Central Bank on both a current and a 12 month basis. Accordingly, the Central Bank has subsequently lowered the base interest rate several times. As of December 31, 2006 the average base interest rate was 15.23% and the GDP growth for that
  year was 3.7% . As of December 31, 2007 the average base interest rate was 11.92% and the GDP growth for that year was 5.4% .

Effects of exchange rate variations and inflation on our financial condition and results of operations

Our financial condition and results of operations have been historically affected by variations in exchange rates and the rate of Brazilian inflation. Our costs and expenses (such as fuel costs, lease obligations,
  aircraft insurance, engine maintenance and related expenses) are principally denominated in U.S. dollars or are linked to the U.S. dollar. At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, approximately 99.7% and 51.5% respectively, of our operating costs
  were either denominated in or linked to the U.S. dollar.  In comparison, our revenues are mostly received in reais. We are therefore exposed to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar/realexchange rate. In 2007, 30.0% of our revenues were
  denominated in reais, compared to 22.1% in 2006. We have a policy of hedging changes in fuel prices by means of derivative transactions covering a minimum of 30% and a maximum of 80% of our projected fuel consumption for up to a rolling 24
  month period.  In addition, we have also entered into hedging transactions in respect of our exposure to the depreciation of the realagainst the U.S. dollar, covering 30 to 80% of the cash flow exposure for a period of 24 months.

Inflation has historically had an impact on our financial conditions and results of operations and it continues to do so.  Our suppliers of services and certain products related to our operating costs and expenses
  generally utilize the IPCA index to adjust their prices for inflation. Approximately 50.3% and 48.5% of our operating costs and expenses were linked to inflation at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 respectively.  A substantial increase in
  inflation could adversely affect the levels of our costs and expenses.

The table below sets forth certain data relating to inflation, real GDP growth rates, the real/U.S. dollar exchange rate and oil prices for the periods indicated:

Role of ANAC

ANAC can influence our capacity for growth and our ability to generate future revenues.  ANAC has the authority to grant Brazilian airlines the right to operate new domestic routes, increase the frequency of flights
  serving existing routes, award slots, purchase or lease aircraft and approve the entry of new companies into the domestic civil aviation market.

Revenues

Our revenues arise principally from passenger transportation. In the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our operating revenues were derived from the following sources:

- 80.2% and 83.8%, respectively, from scheduled passenger transportation service;
- 11.1% and 9.6%, respectively, from cargo and charter service; and

Table of Contents

- 8.7% and 6.6%, respectively, from services and maintenance of aircraft operated by other airlines, receipt of fines and fees in relation to re-pricing of air fares and sub-leasing, together with revenue from credit card companies that purchase
    TAM
    Loyalty Program points to pass on to their customers.

Revenue from passenger transportation is driven by the number of paying passengers we transport, measured in revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs, and the price those passengers pay, measured in the centavosprice paid for each RPK, or yield. RPKs increase either as a function of increased capacity, measured in ASKs, or an increase in load factor, measured as increased RPK in relation to available ASKs.

Our revenues can be affected by market opportunities derived from the activities of our competitors, such as the reduction in the number of flights operated by Varig throughout the year. Our revenues can also be
  affected by new airlines entering the market and the ticket pricing policies employed by our competitors. For this reason, we are constantly evaluating the number of flights we offer and the size of our fleet.

We have succeeded in increasing our revenue in the past three years by better utilizing our fleet and optimizing our network of destinations, thus increasing ASKs in the last three years and load without increasing the
  size of our fleet. In addition, in 2005 to 2007, the airline industry in Brazil has experienced an increase in demand as a result of the increase in Brazilian GDP, reduced fares and increased capacity as measured by Brazilian domestic ASKs. We have
  been able to capture a significant share of that increase in demand.

The following table sets forth our supply and demand, load factor and scheduled domestic yield for the periods indicated:

|                                          |  |                         |  |        |  |

|Scheduled domestic yield in centavos      |  | 23.42                   |  | 29.05  |  | 31.42 
|Scheduled international yield in centavos |  | 17.66                   |  | 21.28  |  | 20.10 

We use RASK (revenue per ASK) as one of our key performance indicators because we believe it enables us to evaluate the balance between load factor and yield and thereby allows us formulate our strategy regarding
  pricing more accurately.

Taxes and deductions

The following taxes and tariffs are deducted from our gross revenues:

PIS and COFINS

The Programa de Integração Social(Social Integration Program, or PIS) and the Contribuição para o Financiamento de Seguridade Social(Contribution for the Financing of Social
  Security, or COFINS) taxes are federal social contribution taxes assessed on gross operating revenues. In respect of passenger transportation revenues, the applicable rates of PIS and COFINS are 0.65% and 3%, respectively. In respect of cargo
  transportation and other revenues (except financial income), the applicable rates of PIS and COFINS are 1.65% and 7.60%, respectively (increased from 0.65% and 3% respectively in February 2004). International revenues are exempt from PIS and COFINS.

Separately, TAM Mercosur is required to pay 3% of its revenues arising from international ticket and cargo sales under a Paraguayan tax referred to as the assumed income tax.

ICMS

The Imposto sobre Operações Relativas à Circulação de Mercadorias e sobre Serviços de Transporte Interestadual e Intermunicipal e de Comunicação,
  ainda que as Operações se Iniciem no Exterior(Tax on the Circulation of Merchandise and Services, or ICMS) is a value-added state tax on gross operating revenues from the transportation of cargo. ICMS is charged for each
  stage in the chain of production and sale of products, at rates varying from 4% to 12% (depending on the product and the state where the service is rendered).

Table of Contents

ISS

The Imposto Sobre Serviços(Tax on Services, or ISS) is a municipal tax assessed at 5% of our gross operating service revenues. We are required to pay ISS.

Tariff surcharge

We are subject to a specific civil aviation industry contribution, referred to as a tariff surcharge. This contribution is assessed at 1% of each domestic air ticket sold.

Costs and expenses

The principal components of our operating costs and expenses include fuel, sales and marketing expenses, leasing of aircraft and equipment, personnel, maintenance, services rendered by third parties, landing, take-off
  and navigational-assistance tariffs, depreciation and amortization, aircraft insurance and other expenses.

Fuel costs vary depending on the international petroleum market and the size and utilization of our fleet. From January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2007, the price of West Texas Intermediate oil, the reference price used
  internationally to price oil, quoted in dollars, increased 201.35%, from US$31.85 per barrel to US$95.98 per barrel. As a result of the fact that the price of oil is quoted in U.S. dollars, our fuel costs are also affected by exchange rate
  variations. In the past three years, we have succeeded in passing on the increase in fuel prices and exchange rate variations to passengers by increasing our ticket prices, albeit with a delay of several months. However, prevailing market conditions
  may lead to our having greater difficulties in adjusting our prices.  We have entered into derivative transactions to hedge against certain oil price and exchange rate variations. See Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
  Market Risk.

We have also implemented a fuel tankering program, the object of which is to obtain cost savings that arise as a result of the fact that fuel may be obtained at lower prices in certain destinations.  In the case of
  domestic destinations, the price variances arise principally because different states in Brazil apply different rates of value-added-tax to fuel. In the case of international destinations, the price variances reflect movements in the cost of oil on
  the international petroleum markets (which is itself driven by international commodity price variances). In both cases, we believe that the factors highlighted will continue to drive fuel price variances in the future and, accordingly, that the fuel
  tankering program will continue to be available to provide cost savings to us.

Our fuel tankering policy operates as follows: where a particular airport has fuel available at a cost that is lower than at the airport to which the relevant flight is travelling, we purchase more fuel at the point of
  origin, thereby minimizing uplift at those airports at which fuel is more expensive. Before making a decision as to whether we proceed with fuel tankering on a given flight, we also factor in the increased fuel costs that arise as a result of the
  additional weight that an aircraft carrying additional fuel must fly with. Our systems allow us to calculate the cost savings on a daily basis.

The principal components of our sales and marketing expenses are:

- commission and discounts to travel, tourism and cargo agents, as compensation for the sale of tickets, and cargo shipping (paid directly to the relevant agencies); and
- other sales and marketing expenses, principally credit card administration fees.

The costs incurred in the leasing of aircraft and equipment are denominated in foreign currencies and increase in proportion to the size of our fleet.  These costs are affected by variations in the exchange rate and in
  LIBOR.  We have entered into derivative transactions to hedge against certain exchange rate variations. See Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. In 2003, we began a process of renegotiating the terms of
  the lease agreements relating to our fleet of Fokker 100 aircraft and agreed to return 19 Fokker 100 aircraft (16 of which have already been returned as of December 31, 2007). During the second quarter of 2004, we converted our financing lease
  agreements to operating leases (see  Amendments to leasing arrangements). As a result, these lease expenses are no longer recorded against our leasing liabilities but are instead posted as costs for aircraft and flight equipment
  leasing costs.

Personnel costs vary with the number of employees, our salary policy, collective bargaining agreements and profit-sharing programs, as well as the number of hours flown by all crew members.  The base date relating to
  renegotiations of the collective bargaining agreements with our employees is December of each year. Accordingly, any salary adjustments will be almost completely reflected in the following year.

Maintenance costs consist of corrective and preventive work performed on our aircraft and flight equipment and include spare parts for aircraft, which are posted in the accounts as operating expenses as such parts are
  utilized. Maintenance costs vary according to the level of utilization of the fleet.

Expenses relating to services rendered by third parties include airport ground-support services, GDS (or Global Distribution System, an electronic passenger distribution system) costs and airport-utilization concession
  expenses.  Third-party expenses vary mainly according to the volume of our operations. Since implementation of the e-TAM portal in September 2004, our GDS utilization costs have been substantially reduced in relation to domestic reservations.
  At December 31, 2007, domestic reservations made via the e-TAM portal accounted for approximately 94.9% of all domestic reservations, compared to approximately 98.2% at December 31, 2006.

Landing, take-off and navigational-assistance tariff costs include aircraft parking and overflight fees and vary according to the volume of our operations and airfare adjustments established by the Brazilian Federal
  Airport Infrastructure Company, or INFRAERO, state and international authorities. These expenses are also affected by variations in the exchange rate because international tariffs are charged in foreign currencies.

Depreciation and amortization costs principally relate to engines, systems and spare parts and vary depending on the useful life of these components.  With effect from the second quarter of 2004, our depreciation
  expenses decreased significantly as a result of changing the terms of the lease agreements of 17 aircraft from finance leases to operating leases.

Aircraft insurance costs increase in proportion to the size of our fleet, the number of passengers we transport and the number of landings we perform (in addition to the classification of our fleet risk by our
  insurers). These costs are also affected by variations in the exchange rate because we purchase insurance in foreign currency. Our operating lease agreements require us to keep the relevant aircraft insured.

Other expenses include those relating to the provision of in-flight services, which vary principally as a function of the volume of passengers we carry on domestic and international flights, and general administrative
  costs.

Net financial expenses

The Contribuição Provisória sobre Movimentação ou Transmissão de Valores e de Créditos e Direitos de Natureza Financeira(Provisional Contribution to the Movement or Transfer of Securities and Financial Credits and Rights, or CPMF) included in our financial expenses was a 0.38% federal tax levied on every debit transaction occurring in a bank account. However, as of
  January 1, 2008, CPMF is no longer in force, as the Brazilian Senate did not approve the Constitutional Amendment which would extend the term of CPMF collection. Therefore, CPMF should not be levied on any debit to bank accounts carried out after
  such date.

As a result of our change of 17 leasing arrangements from financing leases to operating leases, we are no longer required to reflect depreciation expenses, financial expenses corresponding to interest and exchange rate
  variations and revenues from reversal of income tax and social contributions applicable to the realization of revaluation reserves with respect to those leases.

Taxes

IRPJ and CSLL

We are subject to the Imposto de Renda Pessoa Jurídica(Income Tax, or IRPJ) and the Contribuição Social Sobre Lucro Líquido(Social Contribution on Net Income, or CSLL), which together can require us to pay up to 34% of our adjusted net income (referred to as real income). These taxes are divided up as follows (i) applicable income tax of 15%, (ii) additional income tax
  of 10% (applicable to that portion of our results that exceeds R$240,000 per year), and (iii) CSLL, which requires that we pay 9% of our taxable income.

Minority Interests

The government of Paraguay holds a 5.02% equity interest in TAM Mercosurs capital stock. TAM Mercosur was acquired by us in September 2003. The amounts corresponding to the minority interest held by the Paraguayan
  government vary as a function of TAM Mercosurs results.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that (i) are important for describing our financial condition and results of operations, and (ii) require difficult, subjective or complex judgments. These judgments are frequently
  the result of our need to estimate the potential effects of inherently uncertain issues. In order to explain how our management forms judgments regarding future events (including variables and assumptions that underlie the estimates) and the
  sensitivity of these judgments to various circumstances, we have identified the following critical accounting policies (in accordance with Brazilian GAAP):

- Revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts.Tickets that are sold are posted under advance ticket sales, in current liabilities, due to our obligation to transport passengers. Flight revenue (passenger and cargo transportation)
      is recognized when the transportation services are effectively rendered. Other revenue is effectively recognized when the services are rendered. Tickets that are not used within 12 months of the original scheduled travel date are cancelled in
      accordance with IATA regulations and we recognize the corresponding amount as revenue each quarter in respect of such cancellations. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established in an amount considered sufficient by our management to cover any
      losses incurred in the collection of those credits.
- Deferred taxes.We recognize deferred assets and liabilities based on the differences between the carrying amounts shown in our financial statements and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities, using prevailing tax rates. We regularly
      review deferred tax assets for recoverability on a regular basis, taking into account historical income we have generated and projected future taxable income based on a study of technical viability. In the event that any one of our subsidiaries
      operates at a loss or is unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or in the event that there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates or the time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or
      deductible, we evaluate the need to adjust the carrying value of our deferred tax assets.
- Pension plans.For those defined benefit pension plans we sponsor, we calculate our funding obligations based on calculations performed by independent actuaries who use assumptions we provide regarding interest rates, investment returns,
      levels of inflation, mortality rates and future employment levels. These assumptions directly impact our liability for accrued pension costs and the amounts we record as pension costs.
- Contingencies.We are currently involved in various judicial and administrative proceedings, as described in Item 8. Financial Information  A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information  Legal Proceedings.
      We record accrued liabilities for all contingencies in judicial proceedings that represent probable losses. We believe that these contingencies are properly recognized in our financial statements.
- Leases.We recognize as finance leases generating assets and financing liabilities those contracts that contain a purchase option for TAM Linhas Aéreas to purchase the asset being leased by it, recording them under a specific
      classification in our financial statements. All other leases are recognized as operating leases, and the obligations and respective expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
- Financial instruments used to mitigate the risks of variations in exchange rates (including in relation to future fuel purchases) and interest rates.We record the financial instruments we use to mitigate the risks of variations in
      exchange rates and interest rates at their estimated fair market value based on market quotations for similar instruments and assumptions relating to future foreign exchange rate variations and variations in interests rates. We use derivative
      transactions in order to mitigate our risk against variations in exchange rates, fuel prices, contracts for engine maintenance services and loan agreements.

Change in accounting policy for the recording of derivative financial instruments

With effect from the first quarter of 2007, our management determined that we should record derivative financial instruments at fair market value on the basis that this policy would better serve our desire to follow the
  best corporate governance practices. Prior to the first quarter of 2007, we recorded derivative financial instruments at cost plus accrued gains and losses. As a result of this change, our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, which are presented for comparison
  purposes in this annual report, have been adjusted to recognize losses on derivative instruments which were outstanding at December 31, 2006 and 2005. Please see note 20 (h) of our consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December
  31, 2007.

Gross operating revenues

Our gross operating revenues increased by 10.1% to R$8,474 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to R$7,700 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was driven by an increase in total
  demand, measured in RPKs, although this was partially offset by a decrease in yields. Our RPKs increased 27.4% and our total yield decreased 13.6% to R$25.30 on December 31, 2007. The increase in RPKs was a result of the combined effect of:

- an increase in domestic demand for our services, which grew 12.5% by RPKs in 2007, compared to 2006, partially offset by a decrease in our load factor from 73.1% in 2006 to 70.3% in 2007; and
- an increase in international demand for our services, which grew 66.2% by RPKs in 2007, compared to 2006, partially offset by a decrease in our load factor from 76.1% in 2006 to 70.5% in 2007. The increase in RPKs was a result of our taking
    advantage of the market opportunities resulting from the significant decrease in international operations by our main Brazilian competitor.

Gross domestic passenger revenues decreased by 6.4% to R$4,834 million in 2007, compared to R$5,162 million in 2006. A 21.8% increase in availability of ASKs, compared to only a 12.5% increase in demand for our domestic
  flights, as measured in RPKs resulted in a 2.8 percentage point decrease in our domestic load factor, from 73.1% in 2006 to 70.3% in 2007.  This decrease in demand was combined with a 19.4% decrease in our scheduled domestic yield to 23.42 centavosin 2007 from 29.05 centavos in 2006, due to an increase in competition in the domestic market.

Gross international passenger revenues increased by 38.6% to R$2,130 million in 2007, compared to R$1,537 million in 2006, primarily due to an increase in demand.  A 79.4% increase in availability of ASKs and a 66.1%
  increase in demand for our international flights, as measured by RPKs.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in our scheduled international yield, which decreased 17.0% to 17.66 centavos in 2007 from 21.28 centavos in 2006,
  as well as by a 5.6% decrease in our international load factor, which went from 76.1% in 2006 to 70.5% in 2007. Expressed in U.S. dollars, our scheduled international yield increased by 0.2% from 9.95 cents in 2006 to 9.97 cents in 2007.

Gross cargo revenues increased by 59.7% to R$777 million in 2007, compared to R$487 million in 2006, due to the increase in cargo capacity as a result of the increase in international destinations in our network.

Other gross operating revenues increased by 42.8% to R$733 million in 2007, compared to R$514 million in 2006, primarily due to an increase in income of 39.9% from the TAM Loyalty Program and an increase of 44.4% in
  income recognized from advanced ticket sales relating to tickets that expired in accordance with IATA regulations.

Taxes and deductions

Taxes and deductions decreased by 9.2% to R$323 million in 2007, compared to R$355 million in 2006, due to receipt of tax refunds.

Net operating revenue

Our net operating revenues increased by 11% to R$8,151 million in 2007, compared to R$7,345 million in 2006 due to a 59.9% increase in cargo revenues and a 42.8% increase in other operating revenues, primarily due to an
  increased income from the TAM Loyalty Program and an increase in income recognized from advanced ticket sales relating to tickets that expired, as discussed above. This was partially offset by a decrease in RASK of 17.09% to R$17.12in 2007
  compared to R$20.65 in 2006, primarily due to decreases in load factor and yields. Our scheduled domestic RASK decreased 22% to R$15.51in 2007 from R$19.88 in 2006. Our scheduled international RASK decreased by 23.30%, from R$16.22 in 2006
  to R$12.44 in 2007.

Operating expenses

Our cost of services rendered and operating expenses increased by 24.3% to R$7,889 million in 2007, compared to R$6,348 million in 2006. This increase is primarily due to an increase in costs from sales and marketing,
  personnel, fuel, landing, take-off and navigational tariffs, and maintenance costs as further described below. Our total cost of services rendered and operating expenses per ASK (CASK) decreased by 7.1% from R$17.85 in 2006 to R$16.57 in 2007,
  primarily due to a decrease in costs for sales and marketing, services rendered by third parties, aircraft insurance, depreciation and amortization and the 17.2% appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar during that period.

Fuel costs increased by 19.1% to R$2,536 million in 2007 compared to R$2,130 million in 2006, primarily due to a 24.6% increase in oil prices in the period. This increase in oil prices was offset by a 17.2% of
  appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar and savings from our fuel tankering program.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 11.4% to R$975 million in 2007 compared to R$875 million in 2006. This increase primarily resulted from increased revenues derived from increased sales in the international
  market (from both passengers and cargo). As a result of this increase in sales, we incurred higher costs for commissions paid to travel agencies in the international market. This was partially offset by a reduction in the levels of commissions we
  paid in the domestic market as a result of revisions to our commercial policy for dealings with domestic travel agencies. Selling and marketing expenses represented 12.0% of our total net revenue in 2007 compared to 11.9% in 2006, an increase of 0.1
  percentage points.

Aircraft and flight equipment lease costs increased by 22.5% to R$881 million in 2007, compared to R$719 million in 2006, primarily due to our fleet increasing from 95 to 115 aircraft. These increases in our fleet were
  offset by eleven re-deliveries of Fokker 100 aircraft to the their lessors. The increase in aircraft and flight equipment lease costs was tempered by the 17.2% appreciation of the realagainst the U.S. dollar which impacted us because our
  aircraft lease agreements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Aircraft and flight equipment lease costs per ASK decreased by 8.4% .

Personnel expenses increased by 48.9% to R$1,299 million in 2007, compared to R$873 million in 2006, primarily due to our ongoing restructuring project for domestic support operations (see Item 6.  Directors,
  Senior Management and Employees  D. Employees). In 2007, approximately 4,350 personnel who were formerly employed  by third parties for general ground support services were hired directly by us. Accordingly our costs and expenses for
  services rendered by third parties in respect of these workers was eliminated.

Maintenance costs increased by 20.3% to R$467 million in 2007, compared to R$388 million in 2006, primarily due to an increase of 18.3% in the use of our aircraft and an increase in our fleet of 20 new aircraft,
  tempered by the 17.2% appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar in this period. Maintenance costs per ASK decreased by 10.1% .

Costs and expenses for services rendered by third parties increased by 1.7% to R$549 million in 2007, compared to R$540 million in 2006, primarily due to the increase in distribution costs from international operations
  (the majority of which are reservation and ticketing costs and third party airport costs), tempered by the 17.2% appreciation of the realagainst the U.S. dollar in the period. However, costs and expenses for services rendered by third
  parties per ASK decreased by 24%, primarily as a result of restructuring project for domestic support operations (see Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees  D. Employees).

Costs of landing, take-off and navigation charges increased by 33.7% to R$421 million in 2007, compared to R$315 million in 2006, primarily due to the 6.5% increase in the number of take-offs and the 20.6% increase in
  kilometers flown per aircraft mainly in international flights, which are more expensive than domestic flights. Costs of landing, take-off and navigation charges per ASK decreased by 0.1% .

Depreciation and amortization costs increased by 14% to R$116 million in 2007, compared to R$102 million in 2006, primarily due to new additions of ground equipment to our fixed assets of R$9,2 million, as a result of
  the growth in operations during the period. Costs from depreciation and amortization per ASK decreased by 0.24% .

Cost for aircraft insurance decreased by 4.3% to R$34 million in 2007, compared to R$35 million in 2006, primarily due to the net reduction in real-denominated insurance premiums caused by the 17.2% appreciation
  of the real against the U.S. dollar in the period. This was partially offset by an increase in passenger departures of 11.3% in 2007 and an increase in our active fleet from 95 aircraft in 2006 to 115 aircraft in 2007. Costs for aircraft
  insurance per ASK decreased by 28.5% .

Other operating expenses increased by 64.2% to R$611 million in 2007, compared to R$372 million in 2006, primarily due to the 33.8% growth in our operations in the period. Other operating expenses per ASK increased by
  22.7% .

In line with our continuing strategy to increase productivity, our intention remains to further offset fixed costs as a result of more efficient use of aircraft, redesign internal processes (an example of which is our
  plan to save costs by integrating the management of TAM Mercosur with our central management in Brazil) and achieve a resulting improved RASK minus CASK spread. In addition, future changes in commercial policies in the domestic and international
  markets should either decrease sales and marketing costs or increase the quality of our revenue stream. We are still susceptible to fluctuations in fuel costs, which remains the key challenge to sustaining and improving our results in future. In
  addition, recently there has been a trend to U.S. dollars to loose value against the real.This has helped temper some of our expenses, such as aircraft and flight equipment leasing costs, because our lease agreements are denominated in U.S.
  dollars. However, if the U.S. dollar strengthens against the real,we would confer benefits from this.

Net financial income (expense)

Our net financial income (expense) changed by 108.9% to an expense of R$5 million in 2007, compared to income of R$56 million in 2006, principally due to the increase in our debt, partially offset by the 17.2%
  appreciation of the realagainst the U.S. dollar, which generated financial income related to our lease payment obligations.

Other net operating expenses decreased by 64.3% to R$44 million in 2007, compared to R$126 million in 2006.

Income tax and social contributions

Income tax and social contributions decreased by 87.1% to R$42 million in 2007, compared to R$325 million in 2006, principally due to the fiscal benefit received as a result of our payment of interest on our own capital
  in 2007. Our effective rate of income tax and social contributions was 31.5% in 2007, compared to 34.6% in 2006.

Net income

As a result of the factors discussed above, our net income decreased by 78.9% to R$129 million in 2007, compared to R$612 million in 2006. This represented a 6.7 point decrease in our net income margin to 2% in 2007,

Gross operating revenues

Our gross operating revenues increased by 30.3% to R$7,700 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to R$5,910 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.  This increase was driven by an increase in
  volume, measured in RPKs, although as was the case in 2005 this was partially offset by a decrease in yields. Our RPKs increased 32.8% and our total yield decreased 1.9% to R$29.29 centavoson December 31, 2006. The increase in RPKs was a
  result of the combined effect of:

- our taking advantage of the market opportunities resulting from the significant decrease in operations by Varig. This created opportunities for us in both the domestic and international markets. According to ANAC data, Varigs domestic market
    share decreased from 21.7% to 4.7% in 2006 and its international market share decreased from 75.0% to 15.4%. We took advantage of these opportunities by increasing our ASKs, which we achieved by increasing our daily average block hours per aircraft,
    increasing the size of our fleet and modifying our fleet mix;
- an increase in domestic demand for our services, which grew 30.1% by RPKs in 2006, compared to 2005, causing our load factor to increase from 69.9% in 2005 to 73.1% in 2006; and
- an increase in international demand for our services, which grew 40.4% in RPKs in 2006, compared to 2005, causing our load factor to increase from 72.9% in 2005 to 76.1% in 2006.

As was the case in 2005, the decrease in our yield in 2006 was the result of our continuing strategy to offer value-added services at competitive prices, in an effort to increase market share to a proportionally greater
  extent than the decrease in our yield, thus increasing total revenue. Primarily as a result of the three factors described above, we saw a significant increase in volume in 2006.

Gross domestic passenger revenues increased by 23.1% to R$5,162 million in 2006, compared to R$4,193 million in 2005, primarily due to a 24.3% increase in availability of ASKs and a 30.1% increase in demand for our
  domestic flights, as measured by RPKs. This resulted in a 3.3 percentage point increase in our domestic load factor, from 69.9% in 2005 to 73.1% in 2006. These increases were offset by a decrease in our scheduled domestic yield from 7.5% to 29.05 centavosin 2006 from 31.42 centavosin 2005.

Gross international passenger revenues increased by 48.8% to R$1,537 million in 2006, compared to R$1,034 million in 2005, primarily due to a 34.5% increase in availability of ASKs and a 40.4% increase in demand for our
  international flights, as measured by RPKs. This resulted in a 3.2 percentage point increase in our international load factor, from 72.9% in 2005 to 76.1% in 2006. These increases were all driven by increasing the number of international
  destinations we served in 2006.  In addition, our scheduled international yield increased 5.9% to 21.28 centavosin 2006. Expressed in U.S. dollars, our scheduled international yield increased by 15.9% from 8.59 cents in 2005 to 9.95 cents in
  2006.

Gross cargo revenues increased by 19.5% to R$487 million in 2006, compared to R$407 million in 2005, due to the increase in ASKs and the resulting increase in available cargo space.

Other gross operating revenues increased by 85.8% to R$514 million in 2006, compared to R$277 million in 2005, primarily due to increased income from the TAM Loyalty Program (particularly in the sale of TAM Loyalty
  Program points) and an increase in income recognized from advanced ticket sales relating to tickets that expired in accordance with IATA regulations. Those increases were partially offset by a decrease in income from subleasing due to the
  re-integration into our fleet of three Airbus A330s that we previously sub-let.

Taxes and deductions

Taxes and deductions increased by 36.0% to R$355 million in 2006, compared to R$261 million in 2005, due to the increase in our domestic gross income of 30.3%, which is the principal basis for calculation of taxes and
  deductions.

Net operating revenue

Our net operating revenues increased by 30.0% to R$7,345 million in 2006, compared to R$5,649 million in 2005.  RASK increased 2.5% to R$20.65 centavosin 2006 compared to R$20.16 centavosin 2005,
  primarily due to increases in load factor in the domestic and international markets, scheduled international yields, cargo revenues and other operating revenues.  Our scheduled domestic RASK decreased by 2.1% to 19.88 centavosin 2006 from 20.31 centavosin 2005.  Our scheduled international RASK increased by 10.3%, from 14.70 cents in 2005 to 16.22 cents in 2006.

Operating expenses

Our cost of services rendered and operating expenses increased by 21.6% to R$6,348 million in 2006, compared to R$5,222 million in 2005. This increase is primarily due to an increase in costs from outsourced services,
  personnel, fuel and landing and take-off and navigation assistance charges.  Our total cost of services rendered and operating expenses per ASK (CASK) decreased by 4.2% from 18.63 centavosin 2005 to 17.85 centavosin 2006, primarily
  due to a dilution of fixed costs resulting from an increase in aircraft utilization (block hours increased from 11.36 hours a day to 12.7 hours a day), the 9.5% appreciation of the realagainst the U.S. dollar and a reduction in our
  commercial expenses.

Fuel costs increased by 25.7% to R$2,130 million in 2006, compared to R$1,695 million in 2005, primarily due to a 24.5% increase in fuel consumption as we increased our operations in the period. In addition, this
  increase was also partially driven by a 1.0% increase in the average price per liter of fuel in reais. These factors were offset by a 167.3% increase in savings from our fuel tankering program. In 2006, we saved approximately R$58 million as
  a result of our fuel tankering program, compared to savings of R$22 million in 2005.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by 2.4% to R$875 million in 2006, compared to R$855 million in 2005, primarily due to the increase in our total gross revenues of 30.3% . Selling and marketing expenses
  represented 12% of our total net revenue in 2006 compared to 15% in 2005, a decrease of 3 percentage points. This decrease primarily results from the continuing implementation of our policy of variable commissions and appropriate discounts and
  incentives, a policy we introduced in 2005. Selling and marketing expenses per ASK decreased by 19.3% .

Aircraft and flight equipment lease costs increased by 14.6% to R$719 million in 2006, compared to R$627 million in 2005, primarily due to our fleet increasing from the addition of 15 new Airbus A320s and the
  reintegration of three Airbus A330s that we previously sub-let. These increases in our fleet were offset by our returning four Fokker 100 aircraft to the their lessors. In addition, the increase in aircraft and flight equipment lease costs was also
  offset by the 9.5% appreciation of the realagainst the U.S. dollar which impacted us because our aircraft lease agreements are denominated in U.S. dollars. Aircraft and flight equipment lease costs per ASK decreased by 9.7% .

Personnel expenses increased by 30.5% to R$873 million in 2006, compared to R$669 million in 2005, primarily due to a 36.5% increase in headcount from 9,669 to 13,195.  Of this increase of 3,526, 1,390 are directly
  related to our restructuring project for domestic support operations (see Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees  D. Employees). Personnel expenses per ASK increased by 2.8% . In November 2006, we began implementation
  of a restructuring plan for our middle-management. The impact of this restructuring plan was recognized in 2007.

Maintenance costs increased by 8.9% to R$388 million in 2006, compared to R$356 million in 2005, primarily due to an increase in the daily use of our aircraft to 12.7 block hours in 2006, compared to 11.4 block hours in
  2005, and an increase in the size of our fleet and related costs of re-delivering four Fokker 100 aircraft. This was offset by the 9.5% appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar in this period. Maintenance costs per ASK decreased by
  14.2% .

Costs and expenses for services rendered by third parties increased 44.3% to R$540 million in 2006, compared to R$374 million in 2005, primarily due to the increase in distribution costs from international operations
  (the majority of which are reservation and ticketing costs and third party airport costs) and due to an increase in outsourced services. These factors were offset by the 9.5% appreciation of the realagainst the U.S. dollar in the period.
  Costs and expenses for services rendered by third parties per ASK increased by 13.8% .

Costs of landing, take-off and navigation charges increased by 35.2% to R$315 million in 2006, compared to R$233 million in 2005, primarily due to a 16.8% increase in the number of take-offs and to the increase in
  navigation assistance, which resulted from the 22.2% increase in kilometers flown and the increase in international flights, which are more expensive than domestic flights. Costs of landing, take-off and navigation charges per ASK increased by 6.5%
  .

Depreciation and amortization costs increased by 19.3% to R$102 million in 2006, compared to R$85 million in 2005, primarily due to adding new reusable aircraft maintenance parts to our fixed asset base which, net of
  disposals, amounted to R$136 million in 2006. Costs from depreciation and amortization per ASK decreased by 5.9% .

Cost for aircraft insurance decreased by 11.5% to R$35 million in 2006, compared to R$40 million in 2005, primarily due to the net reduction in real-denominated insurance premiums caused by the 9.5% appreciation
  of the real against the U.S. dollar in the period. This was partially offset by an increase in passenger departures of 27.2% in 2006 and an increase in our active fleet from 84 aircraft in 2005 to 95 aircraft in 2006. Costs for aircraft
  insurance per ASK decreased by 30.3% .

Other operating expenses increased by 23.2% to R$372 million in 2006, compared to R$302 million in 2005, primarily due to the 26.9% growth in our operations in the period. Other operating expenses per ASK increased by

In line with our continuing strategy to increase productivity, our intention remains to further offset fixed costs as a result of more efficient use of aircraft (we improved our daily aircraft utilization in 2006
  compared to 2005 and intend to continue to focus on this), redesign internal processes (an example of which is our restructuring project for domestic support operations, implemented in 2006) and achieve a resulting improved RASK minus CASK spread.
  In addition, future changes in commercial policies should either decrease sales and marketing costs or increase the quality of our revenue stream. We are still susceptible to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and fuel costs, which remains one
  of the key challenges to improving our results in future.

Net financial income (expense)

Our net financial income (expense) changed by 131.5% to an income of R$56 million in 2006, compared to expense of R$178 million in 2005, principally due to an increase in cash and financial investments which generated
  an increased income from financial investments and to the 9.5% appreciation of the realagainst the U.S. dollar, which generated financial income related to our lease payment obligations. These factors were partially offset by losses in
  respect of certain hedging transactions we had entered into.

Other net operating expenses increased by 309.7% to R$126 million in 2006, compared to R$31 million in 2005, due to 26.9% growth in our operations and an extraordinary accrual of R$44 million related to our
  restructuring project for domestic support operations. This accrual includes the impact of increasing our headcount by 1,390 as a direct result of this restructuring project. See Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees  D.
  Employees.

Income tax and social contributions

Income tax and social contributions increased by 333.3% to R$325 million in 2006, compared to R$75 million in 2005, principally due to the increase in pre-tax income.  Our effective rate of income tax and social
  contributions was 34.6% in 2006, compared to 38.3% in 2005.

Net income

As a result of the factors discussed above, our net income increased by 401.6% to R$612 million in 2006, compared to R$122 million in 2005. This represented a 6.1 percentage point increase in our net income margin to
  8.3% in 2006, compared to 2.2% in 2005.

Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP

Our net income, as calculated in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, was R$129 million, R$557 million and R$187 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  In the event that we had recorded our net income in accordance
  with U.S. GAAP, we would have recorded net income of R$469 million in 2007, R$809 million in 2006 and R$427 million in 2005.

Our shareholders equity, as calculated in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, was R$1,492 million, R$1,449 million and R$760 million as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively. In the event that we had
  recorded our shareholders equity in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we would have recorded shareholders equity of R$1,967 million, R$1,532 million and R$620 million as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The major differences between Brazilian GAAP and U.S. GAAP relate to the accounting approach used in respect of the following items:

- revaluation of fixed assets;
- leases;

For a discussion of the principal differences between Brazilian GAAP and U.S. GAAP and an explanation of the U.S. GAAP reconciliation of our net income and shareholders equity, as appearing in our consolidated
  annual financial statements, see note 29 of our consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our liquidity position exceeds the minimum required to sustain our business adequately and our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements. We also believe that additional sources of
  liquidity are available to us, if they are needed, through bank facilities.

We decreased our current liquidity ratio by 3.7% between December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, primarily due to our raising US$331 million through short term loan financing to make certain pre-delivery payments to
  Boeing in respect of our orders for four Boeing 777 aircraft. Our liquidity ratio increased by 21.5% between December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, mainly due to the proceeds from increases in our capitalization as a result of our public equity
  offering in 2006 and an increase in cash generated from operations during the period. Our liquidity ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.

In order to manage our liquidity, we take into account our cash and financial investments, accounts receivable and short term loans.  Our accounts receivable are affected by the timing of receipt of credit card revenues
  and of invoicing tourist agencies. Customers purchasing tickets using credit cards have the option of purchasing tickets and pay in installments, typically over an 80 day period. At December 31, 2007, we had R$2,607 million in cash and financial
  investments and R$938 million in accounts receivable, compared to R$2,454 million in cash and financial investments and R$781 million in accounts receivable at December 31, 2006.

At December 31, 2007, we had short-term financing of R$881 million to finance our working capital needs. The majority of these financings are guaranteed by our receivables.  Our short term financing includes the current
  portion of our long-term debt (meaning that debt that matures within twelve months of the balance sheet date). Of our financings, 70% are denominated in foreign currencies, including our renegotiated lease agreements and our machinery and equipment
  financing agreements. Our renegotiated lease agreements bear interest at a monthly rate of 0.52% . Our machinery and equipment financing agreements bear interest at a fixed spread over LIBOR.

At December 31, 2007 our Industrial Funding (FINAME) agreements were denominated in reaisand represented 2.13% of our total short-term financings. Our FINAME agreements bear interest at a fixed spread above
  TJLP, payable on both an annual and a monthly basis.  At December 31, 2007 our Import Financing (FINIMP) agreements represent 3.57% of our short-term financings. They are denominated in reaisand bear interest at a fixed spread above CDI on
  an annual basis only. At December 31, 2007 our short-term line of credit (Compror) is denominated in reais, representing 25.37% of our total short-term financings, and bears interest semi-annually at a fixed spread above CDI. At December 31,
  2007 our information technology leasing agreements are denominated in reaisand bear interest at a fixed spread over CDI with interest payable on a monthly basis, representing 2.59% of our total short-term financings.

##### 

Table of Contents

Our additional working capital requirements represent collectively 25.4% of our total short-term financings and are financed by loans in both foreign currencies and the real, in both cases bearing interest at a rate of
  11.2%, although our real-denominated interest obligations are payable on a monthly rather than an annual basis.

Net cash generated by operating activities

Net cash generated by our operating activities was R$11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to R$722.2 million for the corresponding period in 2006. This decrease primarily reflects the decrease in
  net income and, to a lesser extent, a variation in the average deadline for paying our operational costs and increased expenses for deferred income tax and social contribution.

Net cash generated by operating activities was R$722.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to R$329.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This is reflect the increase in our operating
  activities in the period.

Net cash used in investing activities

We invested R$181 million in the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to R$136.1 million in the corresponding period in 2006. The cash invested in 2007 was mainly used to purchase flight equipment and aircraft parts.

Cash invested was R$136.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to R$109.5 million in the corresponding period in 2005.

Net cash generated by (used in) financing activities

Net cash generated by (used in) financing was R$323.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to R$871.5 million for the corresponding period in 2006. The decrease between 2007 and 2006 was mainly due to
  our paying dividends in the amount of R$137.6 million in 2007, compared to R$29.0 in 2006, and the fact that we raised less capital in 2007 while in 2006 we conducted our initial public offering of ADSs in the United States and preferred shares
  elsewhere, and issued debentures under our program for issuance of debentures. This was partially offset by the issuance of the US$300 million 7.375% senior notes in April 2007.

Net cash generated by financing was R$871.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to R$478.7 million for the corresponding period in 2005. The change between 2006 and 2005 was mainly due to the issuance
  of R$500 million in principal amount of debentures under our program for the issuance of debentures that we established in 2006.

Sources of financing

We typically finance our leased aircraft through operating lease financing. Although we believe that debt and/or operating lease financing should be available for our future aircraft deliveries, we cannot assure you
  that we will be able to secure financing on terms that are attractive to us, if at all. To the extent that we cannot secure financing, we may be required to modify our aircraft acquisition plans or incur higher financing costs. We expect to continue
  to require working capital investment due to credit card receivables. We expect to meet our operating obligations as they become due through available cash and internally generated funds, supplemented as necessary by short-term credit lines.

Indebtedness

At December 31, 2007, our total indebtedness was R$1,812 million, consisting of R$998 million in short-term debt and R$814 million in long-term debt (of which R$126 million was represented by financial lease
  obligations, R$532 million was represented by outstanding debentures, R$53 million arose from renegotiations of lease agreements relating to our fleet of Fokker 100 aircraft and R$1,100 million was represented by loans.)

Between February 2002 and June 2003, TAM Linhas Aéreas issued debentures which were privately placed with INFRAERO. INFRAERO funded its purchase of the debentures using credits arising from airport fees incurred
  by TAM Linhas Aéreas during that period. The debentures are secured by a pledge of credit rights derived from passenger ticket receivables.

We have three FINIMP-type lines of credit with financial institutions, which are guaranteed by revenues from the sale of passenger tickets made using credit cards.  At December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance of our
  FINIMP-type contracts was R$84.8 million. Of this, R$38.5 million was secured debt and R$46.3 million was unsecured debt.

We have financial lease agreements for the leasing of engines and computer equipment. At December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance of such financial lease agreements was R$126 million.

TAM Linhas Aéreas has a US$50 million credit facility with the International Finance Corporation, or IFC. US$33 million of the principal amount is guaranteed by TAM S.A. We record amounts drawn down under this
  facility in reais. As of December 31, 2007, we had R$51 million outstanding under this facility. The terms of the agreement provide that TAM Linhas Aéreas must repay the loan in 12 equal semi-annual installments, beginning in November
  2006 and ending in May 2012. See Item 4. Information on the Company  A. History and Development of the Company  Capital Investments.

TAM Linhas Aéreas also has an outstanding loan in the aggregate amount of approximately R$85 million with the Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social(National Bank of Economic
  and Social Development, or BNDES). TAM Linhas Aéreas is required to repay approximately R$72 million of the principal amount in 60 equal monthly installments, beginning in December 2006 and ending in November 2011. The remaining R$13 million
  of the principal amount is also repayable in 60 equal monthly installments, beginning in February 2007 and ending in January 2012. We provided BNDES with security interests over certain real property as collateral, with the total value of such
  interests being approximately R$65,505,000. See Item 4. Information on the Company  A. History and Development of the Company  Capital Investments.

In 2006, we became the first Brazilian airline to register a program for the issuance of debentures with the CVM. In August 2006, we offered R$500 million in principal amount of debentures pursuant to this program. The
  final maturity date of these debentures is in August 2012, with one third of the aggregate principal amount amortizing in each of 2010, 2011 and 2012.  The terms of the debentures provide that we must pay interest semi-annually in an amount equal to
  104.5% of CDI.

In April 2007, TAM Capital issued US$300 million 7.375% senior notes due 2017. The notes are unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by TAM S.A. and TAM Linhas Aéreas and are listed on the Euro
  MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. On December 18, 2007 we completed an exchange offer pursuant to which holders of 99.2% of the notes issued on April 25, 2007 exchanged their notes for new notes that were registered under the Securities
  Act of 1933, as amended, and otherwise carried identical terms.

In May 2007, our subsidiary TAM Financial Services 1 Limited entered into a facility agreement with certain financial institutions pursuant to which it borrowed US$331 million to finance certain pre-delivery payments
  due to Boeing in respect of our orders for four Boeing 777 aircraft.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

We hold or have filed registration applications for 191 trademarks before the Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial, or INPI, the body with jurisdiction for registering trademarks and patents in Brazil,
  and two trademarks before the bodies with jurisdiction for registering trademarks in other countries in the Americas and Europe in which we operate. Currently, we are facing no third-party challenges to such applications.

TAM Marília owned the TAM trademark from its incorporation until September 2004 when TAM Marília underwent a spin-off which resulted in the creation of Taxi Aéreo,
  Representações, Marcas e Patentes S.A.(TAM Milor). The TAM trademark (and other trademarks related thereto) were transferred to TAM Milor.  Both TAM Marília and TAM Milor are companies controlled by the Amaro Family. Until
  March 10, 2005, the relationship we and our subsidiaries TAM Viagens and TAM Mercosur had with TAM Milor did not provide for any compensation for our use of TAM trademark and was subject to revision at any time. In order to protect the use of the
  TAM trademark on an appropriate legal and commercial basis, on March 10, 2005, TAM S.A., TAM Milor, TAM Linhas Aéreas, TAM Viagens and TAM Mercosur entered into a License for Use of Trademark Agreement, pursuant to which TAM Milor granted the
  other parties a license to use the TAM trademark in exchange for a monthly compensation or royalty payment. The terms of this agreement provide that it may be terminated in the event of (i) bankruptcy, judicial composition with creditors
  or winding-up of either party, (ii) one party failing to comply with any of its obligations and failing to remedy such non-compliance within 15 days of receiving notice of such non-compliance, or (iii) we and/or our subsidiaries TAM Viagens and TAM
  Mercosur utilizing the TAM trademark in a manner other than that set forth in the agreement. The current expense we and our subsidiaries

Table of Contents

TAM Viagens and TAM Mercosur record on a monthly basis for the use of the trademark is R$1.2 million. This amount is adjusted annually by reference to the IGP-M. This agreement is effective until December 9, 2011, following which, provided that TAM
  Linhas Aéreas concession is itself renewed, the license to use the trademark will automatically be renewed for an equivalent period. The recording of the transfer of ownership of TAM trademarks from TAM Marília to TAM Milor and
  the License for Use of Trademark Agreement are currently in the process of review and registration, respectively, with the INPI. The intention of recording both the transfer and the registration of the License for Use of Trademark Agreement before
  the INPI is to provide third parties with notice of the existence of such rights.

The license for use was granted exclusively in relation to the classes of the activities we currently perform. TAM Milor may grant a license to use the TAM trademark to other parties for different activities that do not
  involve the scheduled transportation of passengers.

We have also internally developed our e-TAM portal, a tool that integrates our entire sales chain, from the time of reservation until boarding of the aircraft. Additionally, such contract does not impose any
  limitation on TAM Milors right to dispose of or pledge the trademarks that are subject to the License for use of Trademark Agreement to third parties and TAM Milor may enter into such transactions without our prior knowledge or consent. In
  addition, the terms of the License for Use of Trademark Agreement grant us an exclusive license for the use of the TAM trademark as a symbol for securities traded on stock exchanges.

D. Trend Information

Assuming that demand for our services continues to increase in line with recent periods, we anticipate that our RPKs would increase as a result. In terms of ASKs, we believe the international market presents the
  greatest opportunity for growth because we already have significant penetration of domestic routes in our network. However, we believe ASKs for the domestic market will also increase in 2007, albeit at a lesser rate of growth compared to the
  international market. In the international market, we continue to examine opportunities for selective expansion of routes and recently announced plans to operate a direct flight from São Paulo to Lima, Peru. In the event that projected demand
  for new routes and/or more frequent flights on existing routes meets our expectations, we have contracted sufficient capacity to meet such demand (as evidenced by the fact that we currently have firm orders with Airbus to lease an additional 51
  Airbus A320 family aircraft, six Airbus A330 family aircraft, ten Airbus A350 aircraft and a firm order with Boeing to lease four Boeing 777 aircraft). The addition of these aircraft to our fleet will increase our ASKs, and are able to exercise
  options in respect of up to 20 aircraft in the Airbus A320 family, five options in respect of Airbus A350 aircraft and four options in respect of Boeing 777 aircraft. In order to maintain flexibility, in the event that projected demand does not
  materialize we are under no firm obligation to purchase such aircraft and will be able to return our maturing aircraft without exercising the relevant options. Although increases in oil prices will continue to affect us, we have implemented cost
  saving measures such as our renegotiations with domestic travel agencies that resulted in eliminating the commission we used to pay these travel agencies and cost savings that result from increases in flown hours.

E. Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Our operating lease obligations are not reflected in our balance sheets. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.

F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our significant contractual and financial obligations and commitments having an impact on our liquidity at December 31, 2007:

We believe that our operational cash generation and lines of credit with financial institutions and leasing agents will enable us to honor our contractual and financial commitments.

ITEM 6. DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES

A. Directors and Senior Management

In accordance with our by-laws and Brazilian corporation law, we are managed by our Conselho de Administração(board of directors), made up of eight members and our Diretoria(board of
  executive officers), made up of at least four and no more than eight members. We do not currently have a Conselho Fiscal (fiscal council).

Board of Directors

Our board of directors provides our general, strategic management guidelines and is responsible for, among other things, setting general commercial policies and electing the executive officers (as well as for
  supervising their management). Our board of directors meets every month or whenever requested by the chairman, vice-chairman, or any by two members of the board of directors.

Brazilian corporation law provides that members of a companys board of directors must be shareholders in that company (although there is no specified minimum number of shares that such members must hold) and must
  be elected at a shareholders meeting.  Members, who may reside or be domiciled in Brazil or abroad, are elected for a period of one year and re-election is permitted. The terms of office of the current members of our board of directors end on
  April 30, 2008 unless they are re-elected. Our by-laws do not specify an age limit for mandatory retirement of members of our board of directors.

Brazilian corporation law together with Article 24 of our by-laws provides that members of our management may only enter into contracts with us under reasonable and equitable terms, either identical to those prevailing
  in the market or to those pursuant to which we would ordinarily contract with third parties. Such transaction must also be approved by at least five of our directors at a board meeting and any director may request an independent expert to evaluate
  whether such agreement does in fact contain arms length terms. Brazilian corporation law also prevents such persons from voting at any shareholders meeting or intervening in any corporate action in respect of which there is a conflict of
  interest between their interest and ours.

The following table sets forth the name, position and election date of the current terms of office of each member of our board of directors.

Fiscal Council

According to Brazilian corporation law, each companys fiscal council must be an independent body that is separate from the companys management and external auditors (and may or may not be permanent). The
  fiscal council is installed to act during a given year at the request of shareholders representing at least 10% of the voting shares or 5% percent of non-voting shares.  The fiscal councils principal function is to oversee the activities of
  management and to examine and provide its opinion in regard to the financial statements and certain proposals of management submitted to shareholders meetings.

B. Compensation

Brazilian corporation law and our by-laws provide that our shareholders are responsible for setting the total compensation to be paid every year to our board of directors and board of executive officers. Only if the
  shareholders set a global figure for the total compensation to be paid, is the board of directors then solely responsible for distributing that compensation individually, in accordance with the terms of our by-laws.

In the year ended December 31, 2007, total compensation (including cash and in-kind benefits) paid to the members of our board of directors and to our executive officers was approximately R$27,739 million and R$10,164
  million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2008, our shareholders authorized the payment of a total of up to R$1.3 million to the members of our board of directors.

We also outsource certain operations and services, such as representation with respect to passenger and cargo ticket sales, operational services for ground support, parking areas and runways at airports, aircraft
  cleaning, catering services, asset insurance and passenger and crew transportation.

In 2006, we began implementation of a restructuring project in relation to our domestic support operations. This restructuring project, which has continued throughout 2007, involves us terminating, in 54 locations
  across Brazil, contracts with third party providers of services such as airport personnel, ticketing and baggage and cargo handling, eliminating entirely the service cost of the representatives who formerly managed those services. We will then add
  the personnel who had carried out the services as our own employees. This led to an increase of 1,390 in the number of our employees at December 31, 2006 and 4,350 in December 31, 2007. The objective of the restructuring project is to both gain
  synergies and reduce costs, primarily as a result of eliminating the cost of the representative who formerly managed the services at a fee and reducing our liability for taxes payable for third party services. Although we recorded an extraordinary
  accrual of R$44 million in 2006.

The National Aviators Union represents pilots and attendants in Brazil and five other unions represent airline ground crews. Approximately 6% of our employees are members of unions. Negotiations for wage increases
  resulting from changes in inflation indices and social clauses are carried out annually between the unions and airlines. The basic working conditions and maximum work days for pilots are regulated by federal law and are not subject to labor
  negotiations. We have never experienced a labor stoppage and believe that we have a good relationship with our employees. There are no significant differences among wages paid by Brazilian airlines (which in general are lower than wages paid by
  major international airlines).

In 2007, we invested approximately R$17.5 million in various training programs. On average, 20 days per year for each pilot are dedicated to renewing qualifications. We provide complete training to all pilots,
  attendants and customer service employees.

To ensure levels of excellence in training all our employees and perpetuating the philosophy of quality we are pursuing, the TAM Service Academy was created in 2001. With an area of 12,000 square meters in São
  Paulo (in proximity to Congonhas Airport) the academy is the largest and most modern aviation training center in Latin America, with courses oriented toward pilots, attendants, dispatchers, airport personnel, sales, cargo, CRM personnel and
  technicians. The unit operates in a similar manner to a corporate university and seeks to develop human and technical knowledge oriented toward our operations. Each year approximately 30,000 people receive some level of training at the TAM Service
  Academy (an employee may attend more than one course in any given year), which has the capability of providing training for 750 people each day. In 2004 we intensified the supply of training for foreign
  airlines, pilots, attendants, flight dispatchers and mechanics.  That work, which is monitored and validated at all times by quality inspectors of the civil aviation agencies of the respective countries, was primarily carried out at the TAM Service
  Academy.

In 2001 we signed a training partnership agreement with CAE Inc. (CAE), the largest manufacturer of flight simulators in the world. The US$30 million investment in flight simulators and support structure allows CAE to
  train our pilots on the Airbus A319, Airbus A320 and Airbus A330 aircraft in the vicinity of Guarulhos Airport in São Paulo. We have spent approximately R$6 million each year for the training agreement with CAE, representing savings of
  approximately US$1 million per year in pilot training costs previously incurred as we formerly had to send our pilots abroad for such training.

We also offer executive training through internal programs developed in partnership with well-known universities.

Our compensation strategy reinforces our efforts to retain talented employees, favoring high levels of employee motivation and greater productivity.  Our compensation package includes health plans, profit sharing,
  supplementary retirement, food and meal vouchers, transportation vouchers, dental assistance, medical clinic, emergency transportation, banking offices, group life insurance, sick-leave supplement, day-care reimbursement, loans, courtesy travel for
  employees, recreation awards and English-language courses for all employees.

We have a profit-sharing program. All employees participate in this program. In 2007 we paid each employee an amount that was equal to approximately two times each such employees monthly salary pursuant to our
  profit-sharing program for 2006. In 2007, provisions for amounts to be paid in 2008 totaled approximately R$38 million.

Supplementary Retirement Plan

Our subsidiary TAM Linhas Aéreas sponsors three supplementary retirement benefit plans.  In 2007, we contributed approximately R$11 million to those plans through our subsidiary TAM Linhas Aéreas.  See
  note 25 of our audited consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007.

We have implemented a preferred share purchase option plan for our and our controlled companies officers and employees, as approved at our shareholders meeting held on September 29, 2005. Other than in
  respect of the first grant of options (described below), the strike price per preferred share is the amount equal to 80% of the average market price of our preferred shares in the month preceding the granting of the option, adjusted for inflation.
  We granted 715,252 options to purchase our preferred shares in December 2005, with an exercise price of R$14.40 per preferred share. On June 26, 2006, our board of directors granted the release of 239,750 preferred shares as a second award to be
  used as options under the plan, with an exercise price of R$43.48 per preferred share. The share purchase options will be granted on annual basis in accordance with our board of directors resolution as long as the maximum amount of 2% of
  dilution of the participation of current shareholders is not exceeded and certain annual value-added goals are reached. The participants of our share purchase option plan may exercise their options within seven years as of the date of the
  relevant granting. The vesting term will last five years and will comprise three annual installments, due on the third, fourth and fifth year, respectively. Our share purchase option plan is effective until September 29, 2010.

B. Related Party Transactions

We believe that all of the relevant transactions we entered into with the related parties described below were performed on terms that reflected the market rate for such transactions.

License For Use of Trademark

TAM Marília owned the TAM trademark from its incorporation until September 2004 when TAM Marília underwent a spin-off which resulted in the creation of TAM Milor. The TAM trademark (and other
  trademarks related thereto) were transferred to TAM Milor. Both TAM Marília and TAM Milor are companies controlled by the Amaro Family. Until March 10, 2005, the relationship we and our subsidiaries TAM Viagens and TAM Mercosur had with TAM
  Milor did not provide for any compensation for our use of TAM trademark and was subject to revision at any time. In order to protect the use of the TAM trademark on an appropriate legal and commercial basis, on March 10, 2005, TAM S.A., TAM Milor,
  TAM Linhas Aéreas, TAM Viagens and TAM Mercosur entered into a License for Use of Trademark Agreement, pursuant to which TAM Milor granted the other parties a license to use the TAM trademark in exchange for a monthly compensation
  or royalty payment. The terms of this agreement provide that it may be terminated in the event of (i) bankruptcy, judicial composition with creditors or winding-up of either party, (ii) one party failing to comply with any of its obligations and
  failing to remedy such non-compliance within 15 days of receiving notice of such non-compliance, or (iii) we and/or our subsidiaries TAM Viagens and TAM Mercosur utilizing the TAM trademark in a manner other than that set forth in the agreement. The
  current expense we and our subsidiaries TAM Viagens and TAM Mercosur record on an annual basis for the use of the trademark is R$14.3 million. This amount is adjusted annually by reference to the IGP-M. This agreement is effective until December 9,
  2011, following which, provided that TAM Linhas Aéreas concession is itself renewed, the license to use the trademark will automatically be renewed for an equivalent period. The recording of the transfer of ownership of TAM trademarks
  from TAM Marília to TAM Milor and the License for Use of Trademark Agreement are currently in the process of review and registration, respectively, with the INPI. The intention of recording both the transfer and the registration of the
  License for Use of Trademark Agreement before the INPI is to provide third parties with notice of the existence of such rights.

The license for use was granted exclusively in relation to the classes of the activities we currently perform. TAM Milor may grant a license to use the TAM trademark to other parties for different activities that do not
  involve the scheduled transportation of passengers.  In addition, the agreement does not impose any limitation on the right of TAM Milor to dispose of or pledge the trademarks subject to the agreement to third parties and TAM Milor may enter into
  such transactions without our prior knowledge or
  consent. In addition, the terms of the License for Use of Trademark Agreement grant us an exclusive license for the use of the TAM trademark as a symbol for securities traded on stock exchanges.

Service Agreement  TAM Marília

In September 2002, we entered into a service agreement with TAM Marília for the sharing of our general management activities, relating mainly to human resources, purchasing and procurement and information
  technology systems. Pursuant to the terms of this service agreement, we received payments from TAM Marília in the amounts of R$820,000 in the year ended December 31, 2007 and R$1.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2006.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various judicial and administrative proceedings arising from the normal course of our businesses. We have established provisions for all amounts in dispute that represent a probable loss in the view
  of our legal advisors and in relation to those disputes that are covered by laws, administrative decrees, decrees or court rulings that have proven to be unfavorable. The table below sets forth the total estimated value of amounts claimed,
  provisions for contingencies and court deposits at December 31, 2007:

|                  |  |                   |  |                   |  |

We believe that our results of operations and financial condition would not be significantly affected by any unfavorable single decision in such lawsuits because we have established provisions in respect of the amounts
  at risk in the tax and civil proceedings and because any future cash disbursement we may be liable for in respect of any unfavorable decisions in tax proceedings may be paid in installments over a long period.

Proceedings filed against us

Civil proceedings

We are party to approximately ten thousand civil proceedings arising from the normal course of our business and the total amount claimed in these proceedings as at December 31, 2007 was estimated at R$171.4 million. The
  vast majority of these proceedings involve minor cases relating to customer relations. The more significant actions relate to civil liability and disputes resulting from cancellation of agreements to provide services and commercial representation.
  At December 31, 2007, we had established provisions to address these contingencies in the total amount of R$22,6 million.

Damage claims relating to accidents

TAM Linhas Aéreas is party to 84 actions filed by relatives of victims of the accident that occurred in October 1996 involving one of our Fokker 100 aircraft which crashed during departure, in addition to
  approximately 55 actions recently filed by residents of the region of the accidents location, who are claiming pain and suffering. Unibanco Seguros S.A.is party to all of these actions because any damages resulting from the aforementioned legal claims are covered by the civil liability guarantee provided for in our insurance policy with them. We believe that the cap of US$400.0 million in that insurance policy is sufficient to
  cover any penalties and judicial or extra-judicial agreements arising as a result of this matter.

TAM Linhas Aéreas is party to 96 actions filed by relatives of victims of the incident that occurred in July 2007 involving TAM flight 3054, which had an accident during landing at Congonhas airport. Although we
  are not yet able to make final conclusions as to the financial impact of this accident, we believe that our insurance will provide sufficient coverage to cover any damages, penalties or judicial or extra-judicial agreements arising as a result.

Tax proceedings

We are party to various administrative proceedings or court actions in which we are claiming non-application of a specific tax or reimbursement of taxes paid improperly, or in which we are contesting the charging of
  specific taxes resulting from the normal course of our business and the total amount claimed in these proceedings as at December 31, 2007 was estimated at R$1,647.4 million. We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in obtaining these tax credits or
  securing a favorable outcome in respect of the application of those taxes. At December 31, 2007, we had established provisions totaling R$809.2 million for tax proceedings involving probable loss to us, including those listed below. In respect of
  certain proceedings, we have made court deposits, while in respect of others we have court protection that allows us to dispute the cases without need for partial payments or judicial deposits.

PIS and COFINS

We are challenging the constitutionality of the change in tax basis of the PIS and the increase in the contribution and basis of calculation of COFINS, introduced under Law No. 9,718/98. On November 9, 2005, the Supreme
  Court of Justice ruled that the change in the tax basis of the PIS was unconstitutional. During 2006, we were successful in obtaining one favorable ruling which enabled us to partially reverse a provision of R$46.0 that we had established. At
  December 31, 2007, we had eight pending claims in respect of the change in tax basis of the PIS and the increase in the contribution and basis of calculation of COFINS pending.

Tariff surplus

We have filed a court injunction aimed at suspending payment of the tariff supplement, which is collected monthly at the rate of 1.0% of our domestic revenues. Currently, the case is awaiting a ruling on the appeal
  filed by the Brazilian government against the judgment handed down on the injunction that we filed, which suspended application of the taxes.  The approximate value of that proceeding at December 31, 2007 was R$323.6 million. In the opinion of our
  legal advisors, the chance of loss in this proceeding is considered possible.  On the basis that payment of this tariff is supported by both Presidential Decree and ANAC Administrative Decree, our management established a provision of R$323.6
  million in relation to this.

ICMS on the importation of aircraft

Proceedings had been filed against TAM Linhas Aéreas concerning the alleged failure to pay ICMS due on imported aircraft, parts and engines.  In response, we had filed the appropriate challenges on the basis that
  ICMS should not be payable on leased aircraft. On May 30, 2007, the Supremo Tribunal Federal(Federal Supreme Court) ruled in our favor in respect of one of these cases. On the basis of this precedent decision, we believe our chance of
  loss in respect of the other pending cases is remote. We had not established any provisions for the amounts in question.

Airline worker fund

We have filed an ordinary action with a request for an injunctive relief for non-payment of the Airline Workers Fund, a tax charged monthly at the rate of 2.5% of an airlines payroll. Payment of the tax credit is
  suspended by virtue of the injunctive relief in our favor. Currently, the proceeding is in the expert witness phase. In 2004, the INSS issued an assessment notice in order to toll the Statute of Limitations of the social security credit as a result
  of non-payment of the Airline Workers Fund.  The administrative proceeding has been suspended until completion of the judicial process.  The approximate adjusted value of this proceeding at December 31, 2007 was R$71.5 million.  In the opinion of
  our legal advisors, the chance of loss in respect of this proceeding is considered possible. On the basis that payment of this tax is required by law, our management established a provision in accordance with the amounts required by law until the
  final outcome of the judicial action.  At December 31, 2007, the provision totaled R$71.5 million.

Labor actions

At December 31, 2007 we were party to 1,045 labor claims filed by our employees, former employees or service providers arising from the normal course of our business. We do not believe that such claims (individually or
  collectively) will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the event of unfavorable rulings. Of those 1,045 labor claims, 685 are against TAM Linhas Aéreas, 360 against service providers or sales representatives and TAM
  Linhas Aéreas. In the case of the individual labor claims, the principal disputes refer to demands for the payment of hazard supplements, overtime and make-up work, as well as requests for the payment of wage differentials in specific cases
  involving crew members. We are party to five class actions, all by the airline workers union. The total assessed value of those actions was approximately R$185.5 million at December 31, 2007, and according to our legal advisors, R$7.0 million correspond to claims with a remote chance of loss, R$165.6 million correspond to claims with
  a possible chance of loss, and R$12.8 million correspond to claims with a probable chance of loss. We have established provisions totaling R$13 million at December 31, 2007 in respect of all of these claims.  For specific actions we have made court
  deposits totaling R$12 million to address labor claims. The provision is based on our managements estimate as to likely losses we might incur as a result of the various labor claims filed by current or former employees. We believe the
  provisioned amount is sufficient as to cover probable losses, estimated as applicable, in the event that the rulings are unfavorable to us.

Proceedings instituted by us

Damages relating to price freezes

We are plaintiffs in an action filed against the Brazilian government in 1993 seeking damages for breaking-up of the economic-financial equilibrium of an air transport concession agreement as a result of having to
  freeze our prices from 1988 to September 1993 in order to maintain operations with the prices set by the Brazilian government during that period. The process is currently being heard before the Federal Regional Court and we are awaiting judgment on
  appeals we have lodged requesting clarification of the initial decision (which we challenged). The estimated value of the action is R$245 million, based on a calculation made by an expert witness of the court. This sum is subject to delinquent
  interest since September 1993 and inflation adjustment since November 1994. Based on the opinion of our legal advisors and recent rulings handed down by the Supreme Court of Justice in favor of airlines in similar cases (specifically, actions filed
  by Transbrasil and Varig) we believe that our chance of success is probable. Our management has not posted these credits to our accounts and will only do so when the aforementioned decision is made final.

Claims on amounts paid in error relating to ICMS

We consider payments of ICMS made between 1989 and 1994 to be amounts paid in error because we believe it was unconstitutional to charge ICMS on air navigation services. TAM Linhas Aéreas has filed claims against
  various states in Brazil to claim the amounts paid in error. Rulings on these claims are pending. The total value involved in these claims is R$55 million. Our policy is to only adjust the value of these claims for inflation at the time that payment
  in respect thereto are recorded in our financial statements.

Additional airport tariffs  ATAERO

We also filed an ordinary claim, with a request for early judgment, in relation to a dispute concerning the legality of charging the Adicional das Tarifas Aeroportuárias(Additional Airport Tariffs,
  or ATAERO), which are charged at a rate of 50% on the value of tariffs and airport tariffs. The total amount involved, adjusted for inflation, at December 31, 2007 totaled R$525.7million.

Dividends and Dividend Policy

Amounts available for distribution

At each general shareholders meeting, our board of directors must propose the allocation of net profits earned during the preceding year (based on our non-consolidated annual financial statements). Brazilian
  corporation law provides that a companys net profit is defined as the results from the year, after deductions of income tax and social contribution on the net profit for that year, net of accumulated losses from preceding years and amounts
  allocated to profit-sharing plans. Brazilian corporation law also provides that the amounts available for distribution of dividends are the amounts corresponding to the net profit:

- less the amount allocated to the legal reserve; and
- less the amount allocated to the contingency reserve, if any.

The payment of dividends may be limited to the amount of net profit earned, provided the difference is recorded as a future profit reserve, as discussed below. The calculation of our net income for this purpose is made
  in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, which differs from U.S. GAAP in certain significant respects.

80

##### 

Table of Contents

According to the Brazilian corporation law and our by-laws, we must maintain a legal reserve to which we must allocate 5% of our profit for each year until we reach 20% of the paid-up capital. We are not required to
  allocate any amount to the legal reserve in any year in which that reserve, when added to the others, is equal to or greater than 30% of our total capital. Accumulated losses, if any, can be offset by the legal reserve. If not utilized for these
  purposes, the legal reserve can only be utilized for a capital increase. The legal reserve is subject to approval of the shareholders at a regular shareholders meeting, and can be transferred to the capital, but it is not available for the
  payment of dividends in subsequent years. Our net-profit calculations and allocations to reserves for any year are determined based on non-consolidated annual financial statements prepared in accordance with Brazilian GAAP.

Brazilian corporation law provides that part of a companys net profit can be utilized to constitute discretionary or statutory reserves, which must be described in the companys by-laws, precisely and
  comprehensively indicating the purpose of such reserves, the criteria for determining the annual portion of net profits that will be allocated for constituting the reserves and the maximum limit of the reserves. Currently, our by-laws do not provide
  for the constitution of statutory reserves or contingency reserves.

According to Brazilian corporation law, the amount of mandatory dividend that exceeds the net profit realized in any year can be allocated for future-profit reserves and the payment of mandatory dividends can be limited
  to the amount of net profit earned in the year. The profits from any future year consist of the sum of (i) the portion of positive net profit equal to the net worth equivalency in that year, if any, and (ii) profit derived from transactions in
  respect of which the due date for repayment occurs after the end of the following year. To the extent that amounts allocated for future profits reserve are earned in subsequent years, those amounts must be added to the payment of dividends relative
  to the year in which they were earned. The profits recorded in the future profits reserve, when earned and if not absorbed by losses in later years, must be added to the first dividends declared after they are earned.

A company is permitted to allocate to the future profit reserves all income from equity gains in subsidiaries that are not distributed to the company in the form of cash dividends. When such gains are distributed to the
  company in the form of cash dividends, the company is required to reverse the reserve. Under Brazilian corporate law, our shareholders may decide, upon a proposal of our board of directors, to allocate a discretionary amount of our net profits to a
  contingency reserve for estimated future losses which are deemed probable.

The distributable amount may be further increased by the reversal of such reserve in the fiscal year when the reasons that justified the creation of such reserve cease to exist or in which the anticipated loss occurs.
  Accordingly, there is no specific percentage of net profit allocable to this type of reserve.

The amounts available for distribution can be increased by reversing the contingency reserve for losses considered probable, established in previous years, but not realized. Allocations to the contingency reserve are
  also subject to the approval of shareholders at a shareholders meeting.

The balance of the profit reserve accounts (except for contingency reserves and future profit reserves) must not exceed our total capital. In the event that the balance of the profit reserve accounts did exceed our
  capital, a shareholders meeting must decide if the excess amount will be utilized to pay the subscribed but not paid-up capital, subscription of new shares or the distribution of dividends.

Brazilian corporation law provides that any net profit not allocated for the accounts set out above must be distributed as dividends.

Mandatory dividend

Brazilian corporation law generally requires that the by-laws of each company must specify the minimum available percentage of profit to be distributed to shareholders as dividends, also known as the mandatory dividend.

The compulsory dividend is based on a percentage of adjusted profit (and must be a minimum of 25%) instead of being based on a fixed monetary amount per share. In the event that a companys by-laws do not
  specifically address this issue, Brazilian corporation law provides that the applicable percentage is 50%. Our by-laws provide that at least 25% of the balance of the net profit from the preceding year (as calculated in accordance with Brazilian
  corporation law and Brazilian GAAP) must be distributed as mandatory dividends. Brazilian corporation law allows us, however, to suspend the mandatory dividend in any year in the event that our board of directors informs the shareholders
  general meeting that the distribution would not be feasible in light of our financial situation. Any such suspension of the compulsory dividend is subject to both the review of our fiscal council and approval of the shareholders meeting. In
  the case of a public company, the board of directors must file a specific justification for the suspension with the CVM within five days of the shareholders meeting. Any dividends not distributed as a result of any such suspension must be
  allocated to a
  special reserve.  If not absorbed by subsequent losses, that amount must be distributed in the form of dividends as soon as the companys financial situation allows such distribution.

Table of Contents

Distribution of dividends

Brazilian corporation law provides that we must hold a general shareholders meeting by April 30th of each year at which, in addition to other matters, shareholders must make decisions regarding the allocation of
  our net profit with respect to the fiscal year ended immediately prior to our shareholders meeting and the distribution of our annual dividends. Interim dividends may also be declared by our board of directors. Any payment of an interim
  dividend may be set off against the amount of the mandatory dividend distribution for that fiscal year.  Any holder of shares at the time of the declaration of dividends has the right to receive those dividends. Dividends corresponding to shares
  held by custodians are paid to the custodian for distribution to shareholders. According to Brazilian corporation law, dividends must generally be paid to owners within 60 days after the dividend is declared, unless shareholders elect a different
  payment date which, in any case, must occur before the end of the year in which the dividend was declared. Dividends attributed to shareholders and not claimed shall not earn interest or be subject to inflation adjustment and the statute of
  limitations in respect of receiving such dividends will expire (in our favor) three years from the date such dividends were attributed to the shareholders.

Interest on shareholders equity

According to current Brazilian tax law, companies have been authorized since January 1, 1996 to distribute interest on shareholders equity instead of dividends and treat such distributions as deductible expenses
  for the purposes of income tax. Since 1998, such distributions may also be treated as deductible expenses for the purposes of social contributions. Such interest, which may be paid at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to approval of
  the shareholders meeting, is limited to the daily variations in the TJLP on a pro-rated basis and may not exceed the greater of:

- 50% of net income (after deducting provisions for social contribution on the net profit and before provision for income tax and interest on the companys own capital) for the period for which the payment is made; or
- 50% of retained profits and profit reserves at the beginning of the year in relation to which the payment is made.

For accounting purposes, although the deductible expense must be reflected in our statement of income in order to be deductible, the expense is immediately reversed before calculating net profit for the statutory
  financial statements and deducted from net worth in a manner similar to a dividend. Income tax of 15% (or 25% in the event that the shareholder resides in a tax haven jurisdiction) is withheld at source and owed by shareholders upon receipt of the
  interest, however the tax is normally paid by the companies on behalf of the shareholders upon distribution of the interest.

Our by-laws and article 9, paragraph 7, of Law No. 9,249/95 provide that interest on Net Equity can be attributed to the payment of dividends for purposes of the mandatory dividend.

Our dividend policy

We did not distribute dividends or interest on capital to our shareholders between 1997 and 2004 because we had accumulated losses for those years.  Our board of directors declared a dividend payment of R$137,268,869.54
  in respect of the year ended December 31, 2006, which was approved by our shareholders on April 27, 2007.  Our directors declared a dividend payment of R$72,093,006.90 in respect of the year ended December 31, 2007, which was approved by our
  shareholders on April 30, 2008.

We intend that any distribution of dividends or interest on capital be made in future will be made in accordance with Brazilian corporation law and our by-laws. Our board of directors may declare dividends and elect
  that they be paid against either accumulated profits or existing profits reserves, following approval at a shareholders meeting. The amount distributed will depend on various factors such as our financial condition and results of our
  operations, our cash requirements, prospects and other factors considered relevant by our board of directors and shareholders.  Holders of our ADSs will be entitled to the same rights in respect of any distribution of dividends as holders of our
  preferred shares.

In addition, the payment of dividends to our shareholders is contingent upon the net profit distributed as dividends by our operating subsidiaries. We may not be able to pay dividends to our shareholders in the event
  that our operational subsidiaries are unable to distribute dividends. See  Amounts available for distribution.

Trading on BOVESPA

BOVESPA is a closely-held company owned by Bovespa Holding S.A., which is a publicly-held company.  Trading on such exchanges is limited to member brokerage firms and to a limited number of authorized non-members.

The CVM and BOVESPA have discretionary authority to suspend trading in shares of a particular issuer under certain circumstances. Trading in securities listed on BOVESPA, including the Novo Mercadoand Levels 1
  and 2 segments, may be effected off the exchanges in the unorganized over-the-counter market in certain circumstances.

The shares of all companies listed on BOVESPA, including Novo Mercadoand Level 1 and Level 2 companies, are traded together.

Settlement of transactions occurs three business days after the trade date. Delivery of and payment for shares is made through the facilities of separate clearing houses for each exchange, which maintain accounts for
  member brokerage firms. The seller is ordinarily required to deliver the shares to the clearing house on the second business day following the trade date.  The clearing house for BOVESPA is the CBLC.

In order to reduce volatility, BOVESPA has adopted a circuit breaker system pursuant to which trading sessions may be suspended for a period of 30 minutes or one hour whenever specified indices of BOVESPA
  fall below the limits of 10% and 15%, respectively, in relation to the index levels for the previous trading session.

Although the Brazilian equity market is Latin Americas largest in terms of market capitalization, it is smaller and less liquid than the major U.S. and European securities markets. Moreover, BOVESPA is less liquid
  than the New York Stock Exchange and other major exchanges in the world. Although any of the outstanding shares of a listed company may trade on a Brazilian stock exchange,
  in most cases fewer than half of the listed shares are actually available for trading by the public, the remainder being held by small groups of controlling persons, governmental entities or one principal shareholder.

Trading on Brazilian stock exchanges by non-residents of Brazil is subject to registration procedures. See Item 10. Additional Information  D. Exchange Controls.

Regulation of Brazilian Securities Markets

The Brazilian securities markets are principally governed by Law No. 6,385, of December 7, 1976, and Brazilian corporation law, each as amended and supplemented, and by regulations issued by the CVM, which has authority
  over stock exchanges and the securities markets generally; the National Monetary Council; and the Central Bank, which has, among other powers, licensing authority over brokerage firms and regulates foreign investment and foreign exchange
  transactions.

These laws and regulations, among others, provide for licensing and oversight of brokerage firms, governance of the Brazilian stock exchanges, disclosure requirements applicable to issuers of traded securities,
  restrictions on price manipulation and protection of minority shareholders. They also provide for restrictions on insider trading. However, the Brazilian securities markets are not as highly regulated and supervised as the U.S. securities markets or
  securities markets in some other jurisdictions. Accordingly, any trades or transfers of our equity securities by our officers and directors, our controlling shareholders or any of the officers and directors of our controlling shareholders must
  comply with the regulations issued by the CVM.

Under Brazilian corporation law, a corporation is either public (companhia aberta), as we are, or closely held (companhia fechada). All public companies are registered with the CVM and are subject
  to reporting requirements. Our preferred shares will be listed on the Level 2 segment of BOVESPA. See  BOVESPAs Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices.

We have the option to ask that trading in securities on BOVESPA be suspended in anticipation of a material announcement. Trading may also be suspended on the initiative of BOVESPA or the CVM, based on or due to, among
  other reasons, a belief that a company has provided inadequate information regarding a material event or has provided inadequate responses to inquiries by the CVM or BOVESPA.

The Brazilian over-the-counter market consists of direct trades between individuals in which a financial institution registered with the CVM serves as intermediary. No special application, other than registration with
  the CVM, is necessary for securities of a public company to be traded in this market. The CVM requires that it be given notice of all trades carried out in the Brazilian over-the-counter market by the respective intermediaries.

BOVESPAS Differentiated Corporate Governance Practices

BOVESPA, in carrying out its self-regulatory functions, has established three differentiated levels of corporate governance: Level 1, Level 2 and Novo Mercado.

Each of the differentiated corporate governance levels includes companies that agree, on a voluntarily basis, to adopt the corporate governance practices established for the level they have adopted. These corporate
  governance practices go beyond those required by law.

The entry of a company into any one of the special listing segments of the BOVESPA occurs through the signing of a contract that obliges the company to abide by the rules of corporate governance established in the
  regulations for the relevant level.

BOVESPA Level 2

Preferred shares with restricted voting rights

Voting rights are guaranteed to holders of preferred shares with respect to the following issues (i) transformation, merger, consolidation or spin-off of the company, (ii) valuation of assets to be used for payment of
  capital increases by the company, (iii) selection of a specialized company to determine the economic value of our shares for the purpose of our delisting or discontinuation of our Level 2 registration, (iv) the approval in shareholders meetings of
  agreements between the company and its controlling shareholders, both directly and through third parties, as well as with other companies in which the controlling shareholders
  may have an interest, whenever required by law, (v) amending or changing terms in the companys by-laws that result in a failure on the part of the company to meet the requirements established under the Level 2 regulations.

Tag along rights

A change of control of a Level 2 listed company must be conditioned on the acquiror undertaking, within a maximum period of 90 days from the date of the acquisition of the controlling interest, to make a public offer to
  purchase (i) 100% of the common shares at a price per share equal to the highest price offered per common share so as to guarantee that all common shareholders are treated equally for purposes of the change of control, and (ii) 100% of the preferred
  shares at a price per share of 70% of the price offered to the holders of the common shares.  In the event of a change of control, we have voluntarily adopted a provision in our bylaws, according to which we will offer to the preferred shareholders
  100% of the price per share paid to the controlling shareholder group.

Similarly, any party that acquires a controlling interest in the company through successive purchases of shares will be obliged to make a public offer to purchase the remaining shares as described above, and to pay the
  difference between the price it paid for the shares acquired during the previous six months, duly adjusted in accordance with the inflation index or any other monetary correction applicable to the relevant period, and the price to be paid to the
  other shareholders as described above.

Free float

Companies listed on Level 2 segment of the BOVESPA must maintain a minimum percentage of shares in circulation (free float), equal to at least 25% of its total share capital. This percentage must be maintained for the
  duration of the Level 2 registration.

Public offers of shares through mechanisms that favor broad distribution

In each public offer of shares, we must make every effort to ensure the broad distribution of our shares, through the adoption of special procedures that must appear in the relevant prospectus, such as guaranteeing
  access to all qualified interested investors and distribution of at least 10% of the offer to private individuals or non-institutional investors.

Introduction of improvements in financial statements

We must present our quarterly information report (ITR), or other unaudited financial information, including information reconciled to U.S. GAAP or IFRS standards, in each case translated into English, within a maximum
  of 15 days after the time established by law for the publication of quarterly information.  The ITR must include, in addition to the obligatory information established by law:

Table of Contents

The quarterly information must be accompanied by a special review report issued by an independent auditor that is duly registered with the CVM, observing the methodology specified in the regulations published by the
  CVM.

As from 2006, we must, in addition to the terms of current legislation and regulations in Brazil, release (i) financial information prepared in accordance with international standards of U.S. GAAP or IFRS or release
  financial information, in English, also disclosing the net income and shareholders equity at the end of the respective year, as determined according to accounting practices adopted in Brazil; or (ii) financial statements, in English, prepared
  in accordance with Brazilian corporation law, together with additional notes demonstrating the reconciliation of results of operations and equity according to Brazilian GAAP and U.S. GAAP or IFRS, as the case may be, evidencing the main differences
  between the applied accounting criteria. In addition, the annual financial statements must include, in the explanatory notes, a company cash flow statement and a consolidated cash flow statement, if applicable.

Compliance with transparency rules on the part of controlling shareholders and managers in transactions involving our shares

Our directors, our controlling shareholder group and members of our audit committee must report to BOVESPA the number and characteristics of our securities which they hold, directly or indirectly, including associated
  derivatives. This information must be provided to the BOVESPA immediately after any such person is elected, or acquires control, as the case may be.

In the same way, any transactions that may be effected with respect to securities and associated derivatives dealt with in this item must be communicated in detail to the BOVESPA, including pricing information, within
  ten days of the end of the month in which the transaction occurs. These obligations are extended to securities and their associated derivatives that may be held, directly or indirectly, by spouses, partners and dependents who are included in the
  annual income tax declaration of directors, controlling shareholders, and members of the audit committee.

Shareholders agreement, stock option programs and contracts with companies in the same economic group

We must submit to BOVESPA a copy of any shareholders agreement filed at our headquarters. Accordingly, whenever we sign new shareholders agreements or amendments to any existing shareholders agreement,
  the submission to BOVESPA must occur within five days following its filing and/or signing.  The date of filing and/or registration of any shareholders agreement at our headquarters must be indicated on the copy.

Details of stock option programs or other programs for the acquisition of any of our securities by our employees or directors must also be submitted to BOVESPA and disclosed.

Finally, we must publish information setting out details of each agreement (a) between us and our subsidiaries and associated companies, directors and members of our controlling shareholder group, (b) between us and any
  company controlled by or associated with the directors and any member of the controlling shareholder group, as well as with other companies that form, in conjunction with any one of these parties, the same group, whether de factoor de
    jure, in each case, whenever a single agreement, or a group of successive agreements, with or without the same purpose, in any period of one year, represents values of (i) R$200,000 or more, or (ii) 1% of our net stockholders equity,
  whichever is greater.

Resolution of disputes through arbitration

We and our controlling shareholder group, directors and members of our audit committee must resolve through arbitration all disputes or controversies related to the Level 2 regulations, our by-laws, Brazilian
  corporation law and any other regulations regarding the financial markets or securities, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Market Arbitration Chamber (Câmara de Arbitragem do Mercado).

Cancellation of Level 2 registration

In the event we cancel the registration of our shares on Level 2 of BOVESPA, or de-list as a publicly listed company, a public offering by the controlling shareholder group for the acquisition of all our outstanding
  shares will be required. The minimum price to be paid per share will be determined through a report on the valuation of our shares, which must be prepared by a specialized company of proven experience that is independent of us, our directors and our
  controlling shareholder group, in addition to satisfying the applicable terms of and carrying responsibility under Brazilian corporation law.

Table of Contents

The choice of the specialized company responsible for determining the economic value of our shares is to be determined at a shareholders meeting at which preferred shareholders will be entitled to vote, following
  presentation by the board of directors of a list of three specialized companies nominated for such purpose. The selection must be made on the basis of a majority vote of the free float shares, excluding abstentions. The cost of the valuation report
  will be borne in full by the controlling shareholders.

In the event that the valuation report is available by the date of the shareholders meeting called for the purpose of canceling our listing as a public company, the controlling shareholders must disclose the value
  per share or per 1,000 shares on the basis of which the offer to purchase will be made. Unless the price per share announced by the controlling shareholder group in the shareholders meeting is greater than or equal to the value determined in
  the valuation report, the meeting will automatically be cancelled, and timely notification of this fact must be given to the market, unless the controlling shareholders expressly agree to make the offer to purchase at a price per share equal to the
  economic value per share as set forth in the valuation report.

The cancellation of registration as a listed company must follow the procedures and meet the other requirements established in the regulations applicable under the terms of current law applicable to a Brazilian company,
  particularly those appearing in regulations published by the CVM on the subject.

Divestment of control following abandonment of Level 2 listing

In the event that we abandon or cancel our Level 2 listing and in the subsequent 12 months there is a change in our control, the controlling shareholders relinquishing control and the acquiror undertake, jointly and
  with joint responsibility, to acquire the shares of all shareholders at the price per share and pursuant to the same terms and conditions obtained by the controlling shareholder group in the sale of their own shares in accordance with the inflation
  index or any other monetary connection applicable to the relevant period. In the event that the price obtained by the controlling shareholder group for their shares is higher than the price per share offered to the other shareholders in the offer to
  purchase made in accordance with Level 2 regulations (see  Cancellation of Level 2 registration), the controlling shareholders relinquishing control and the acquiror undertake, jointly and with joint responsibility, to pay the
  difference between the proceeds in the operation for the transfer of control and the value paid to those shareholders who accept the terms of the offer.

In addition, we and our controlling shareholders are obliged to register in our share registry book the obligation to fulfill the provision described in the paragraphs above.

Significant Differences Between Our Corporate Governance Practices and NYSE Corporate Governance Standards

We are subject to the NYSE corporate governance listing standards. As a foreign private issuer, the standards applicable to us are considerably different to the standards applied to U.S. listed companies. Under the NYSE
  rules, we are required only to (i) have an audit committee or audit board, pursuant to an applicable exemption available to foreign private issuers, that meets certain requirements, as discussed below, (ii) provide prompt certification by our chief
  executive officer of any material non-compliance with any corporate governance rules, and (iii) provide a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the NYSE corporate governance practices
  required to be followed by U.S. listed companies.  The discussion of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. listed companies follows below.

Majority of Independent Directors

The NYSE rules require that a majority of the board must consist of independent directors. Independence is defined by various criteria, including the absence of a material relationship between the director and the
  listed company. Brazilian law does not have a similar requirement. Under Brazilian law, neither our board of directors nor our management is required to test the independence of directors before their election to the board. However, both Brazilian
  corporation law and the CVM have established rules that require directors to meet certain qualification requirements and that address the compensation and duties and responsibilities of, as well as the restrictions applicable to, a companys
  executive officers and directors. While our directors meet the qualification requirements of Brazilian corporation law and the CVM, we do not believe that a majority of our directors would be considered independent under the NYSE test for director
  independence.  Brazilian corporation law and our bylaws require that our directors be elected by our shareholders at a general shareholders meeting.

88

##### 

Table of Contents

Executive Sessions

NYSE rules require that the non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management present. Brazilian corporation law does not have a similar provision. According to Brazilian
  corporation law, up to one-third of the members of the board of directors can be elected from management.  The remaining non-management directors are not expressly empowered to serve as a check on management, and there is no requirement that those
  directors meet regularly without management. As a result, the non-management directors on our board do not typically meet in executive session.

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

NYSE rules require that listed companies have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the committees required purpose and
  detailing its required responsibilities, which include, among other things, identifying and selecting qualified board member nominees and developing a set of corporate governance principles applicable to the company.

Compensation Committee

NYSE rules require that listed companies have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter addressing the committees required purpose and detailing its
  required responsibilities, which include, among other things, reviewing corporate goals relevant to the chief executive officers compensation, evaluating the chief executive officers performance, approving the chief executive
  officers compensation levels and recommending to the board non-chief executive officer compensation, incentive-compensation and equity-based plans. We are not required under applicable Brazilian law to have a compensation committee. Under
  Brazilian corporation law, the total amount available for compensation of our directors and executive officers and for profit-sharing payments to our executive officers is established by our shareholders at the annual general meeting. The board of
  directors is then responsible for determining the individual compensation and profit-sharing of each executive officer, as well as the compensation of our board and committee members. In making such determinations, the board reviews the performance
  of the executive officers, including the performance of our chief executive officer, who typically excuses himself from discussions regarding his performance and compensation.

Audit Committee

NYSE rules require that listed companies have an audit committee that (i) is composed of a minimum of three independent directors who are all financially literate, (ii) meets the SEC rules regarding audit committees for
  listed companies, (iii) has at least one member who has accounting or financial management expertise, and (iv) is governed by a written charter addressing the committees required purpose and detailing its required responsibilities. However, as
  a foreign private issuer, we need only to comply with the requirement that the audit committee meet the SEC rules regarding audit committees for listed companies. Brazilian corporation law requires companies to have a non-permanent Conselho
    Fiscalcomposed of three to five members who are elected at the general shareholders meeting.

Shareholder Approval of Equity Compensation Plans

NYSE rules require that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, with limited exceptions. Under Brazilian corporation law, shareholders must approve
  all stock option plans. In addition, any issuance of new shares that exceeds our authorized share capital is subject to shareholder approval.

NYSE rules require that listed companies adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. We have not adopted any formal corporate governance guidelines beyond those required by applicable Brazilian law. We have
  adopted and observe a disclosure policy, which requires the public disclosure of all relevant information pursuant to guidelines set forth by the CVM, as well as an insider trading policy, which, among other things, establishes black-out periods and
  requires insiders to inform management of all transactions involving our securities.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

NYSE rules require that listed companies adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers.
  Applicable Brazilian law does not have
  a similar requirement. We have, however, adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our officers, directors and employees. See Item 16B. Code of Ethics.

Corporate purpose

Pursuant to article 3 of our by-laws, our corporate purposes are the participation (as either a shareholder or quotaholder) in companies engaged in scheduled air transportation services or related activities (including
  TAM Linhas Aéreas). Our by-laws provide that any sale of more than 50% of our holding of voting capital in TAM Linhas Aéreas to a third party is considered a change in corporate purpose and, accordingly, would allow shareholders to
  exercise their right to withdraw their shareholdings and receive in consideration the economic value of their shares, subject to the provisions of our by-laws and the Brazilian corporation law. See  Reimbursement and right of
  withdrawal.

Rights of our common and preferred shares

Each of our common shares gives the holder the right to vote on decisions of our shareholders meetings. Pursuant to article 8, paragraph 2, of our by-laws, our shareholders will be entitled to convert, in
  accordance with applicable law, their paid-up common shares into preferred shares, at the proportion of one preferred share per common share. Our preferred shares carry no right to vote on decisions of the shareholders meetings, except (as
  long as we are listed on the Level 2 segment of BOVESPA) with regard to certain matters. See  Voting Rights.

Our preferred shares shall have the following advantages as compared to our common shares:

- priority in the reimbursement of capital, without premium, in the event of our liquidation; and
- the right to be included in public offerings derived from the transfer of our control, at the same price paid per each common share of the controlling block.

Reimbursement and right of withdrawal

For purposes of the right of withdrawal, Brazilian corporation law provides that a dissident shareholder includes not only shareholders who vote against a specific resolution, but also those that have abstained from
  voting or failed to appear at the shareholders meeting. Brazilian corporation law provides that a dissident shareholder or shareholder with no voting rights has the right to withdraw from shareholding in a company upon receiving full
  reimbursement for all shares held in the event that the first invitation published for attending such shareholders meeting is made (by a qualified quorum of shareholders representing at least 50% of the shares with the right to vote) to
  approve any of the following matters:

- create preferred shares or increase an already existing class of preferred shares, without maintaining the same proportion in relation to the other classes of shares, unless already provided or authorized in the by-laws;
- alter the preference, privilege, or conditions for redemption or amortization granted to one or more classes of preferred classes, or create a new class of shares with greater privileges than the existing classes of preferred shares;
- reduce the mandatory dividend;
- consolidate or merge with another company, including one of our controlling companies;
- participate in a group of companies;
- change of corporate purpose;
- transfer all shares to another company or receive shares in another company in such a way as to make the company whose shares were transferred a wholly-owned subsidiary of the merged company;
- perform a spin-off that results in (i) a change in the companys corporate purpose (unless the companys assets and liabilities are transferred to a company that has substantially the same corporate purpose), (ii) a reduction in the
    compulsory dividend, or (iii) participation in a group of companies, as defined in Brazilian corporation law; or

- acquire control of another company for a price that exceeds the limits provided in Brazilian corporation law (and subject to the conditions set forth in Brazilian corporation law).

In the case of the first two items set out above, only the holders of shares adversely affected may exercise the right of withdrawal.

Whenever a company resulting from the consolidation, merger of shares, or spin-off of a public stock corporation fails to obtain registration as a public stock corporation (and, if applicable, fails to obtain
  registration of its shares for trading on the stock exchange within 120 days of the date of the shareholders meeting that approved that decision), the dissident shareholders or shareholders without voting rights may also exercise the right of
  withdrawal.

In the event that our shareholders approve any resolution for us to (i) consolidate or merge with another company, (ii) transfer all our shares to another company so as to transform our company into a wholly-owned
  subsidiary of that company, or (iii) become part of a group of companies, the right of withdrawal may be exercised only if our shares fail to satisfy certain liquidity tests at the time of the shareholders meeting.

The right of withdrawal expires 30 days after publication of the minutes of the shareholders meeting which approved any of the matters set out above. In the case of the first two items above, the decision taken at
  the shareholders meeting only becomes legally effective upon confirmation by shareholders holding preferred shares, which must be obtained at a special shareholders meeting held within one year.

In such cases, the 30 day deadline begins on the date of publication of the minutes of the special shareholders meeting. In the event that any redemption of shares held by dissident shareholders would potentially be
  prejudicial to our financial stability, we would have ten days following the expiration of that 30 day deadline to reconsider the resolution that caused the exercise of the right of withdrawal.

Brazilian corporation law also provides that the value of any shares to be withdrawn by dissident shareholders, or shareholders with no voting rights who have exercised the right to withdraw, shall be valued in an
  amount greater than the portion of our net worth attributed to those shares, as demonstrated by reference to our assets in the latest balance sheet approved at a shareholders meeting (in the event that more than 60 days have passed since the date of
  that balance sheet, the dissident shareholders have the right to request that the value of their shares be calculated by reference to our assets on our most recent balance sheet).

The change in the rights and benefits of our preferred shares was discussed at an extraordinary general shareholders meeting held on May 16, 2005. Those shareholders holding preferred shares who did not vote, were
  not present or who voted against the change in rights and benefits of our preferred shares at such meeting, in accordance with Brazilian corporation law, were entitled to withdraw their shareholdings within 30 days of the date of publication of the
  minutes of such meeting and receive R$3.1093 per preferred share in respect of such withdrawal.

The sale of more than 50% of our common stake in TAM Linhas Aéreas to a third party would be considered a change in our corporate purpose and would give our shareholders the right (subject to Brazilian
  corporation law and our by-laws) to withdraw their shareholdings and receive the economic value of their shares.

Increases in capital and preemptive rights

Each shareholder has preemptive right in respect of any issuance of new shares we conduct for the purpose of increasing our capital (as well as in respect of subscribing to debentures convertible to shares and
  warrants). The extent of the preemptive right is in direct proportion to the equity interest held by the shareholder and may be exercised at least 30 days after the publication of the notice of capital increase. In the case of an increase of equal
  proportion in the number of shares of all existing types and classes, each shareholder may exercise the preemptive right only over the same type and class of shares already held. In the event that the shares to be issued are of existing types and
  classes but the exercise of the preemptive right would result in a change in the respective proportions of our capital stock, the preemptive right may only be exercised over the types and classes identical to those already held by the shareholders
  and may only extend to any other shares in the event that these are insufficient to assure the shareholders the same proportion in our capital stock they had prior to the increase in capital. In the event that there is an issuance of shares of types
  and classes different from those already existing, each shareholder may exercise their preemptive rights (in proportion to the same number of shares already held) over the shares of all types and classes in the capital increase.

Table of Contents

Our by-laws provide that, in accordance with Brazilian corporation law and criteria set forth by our board of directors, preemptive rights may be excluded, or the deadline for exercise may be brought forward, in respect
  of any issuance of shares, subscription bonuses, debentures or other securities convertible to shares where such issuance is placed (a) via sale on the stock exchange or public subscription, or (b) in exchange for shares in a public offering of
  control acquisition, in accordance with applicable laws. In addition, Brazilian corporation law provides that granting an option to purchase shares in relation to certain plans is not subject to preemptive rights.

Shareholders meetings

Our board of directors is the competent body for calling our shareholders meetings. Notice of our shareholders meetings must be published at least three times in the Diário Oficial do Estado,
  the official newspaper of the state where our headquarters are located and another newspaper in general circulation, currently Valor Econômico and Gazeta Mercantil. Our shareholders meetings take place in our headquarters, in the
  city of São Paulo, in the State of São Paulo. Shareholders attending a shareholders meeting must produce proof of their status as shareholders and proof that they hold the shares entitling them to vote.

Voting rights

Each common share grants the holder the right to one vote at shareholders meetings.

Our preferred shares do not grant their holders general voting rights except, for so long as we are listed on the Level 2 segment of BOVESPA, in relation to the following matters:

- any direct conversion, consolidation, spin-off or merger of TAM;
- agreements between us and our controlling shareholder(s), as well as other companies in which our controlling shareholder(s) have an interest, so long as such matters have been approved in a general shareholders meeting to the extent required
    by law or statue;
- the evaluation of assets in relation to any capital increase;
- the appointment of any company specializing in evaluating the economic value of our shares in case of a mandatory tender offer launched by us or by our controlling shareholders if we elect to go private or if we elect to cease to follow the
    requirements of BOVESPAs Level 2 regulation;
- any change in our corporate purpose; and
- any change in, or the revocation of, provisions of our by-laws resulting in any violation of certain requirements of BOVESPAs Level 2 regulation. See Item 9. The Offer and Listing  C. Markets  BOVESPAs Differentiated
    Corporate Governance Practices.

Brazilian corporation law provides that shares with no voting rights or restricted voting rights (which would include our preferred shares) must now carry unrestricted voting rights in the event we should fail to
  distribute, for three consecutive years, any fixed or minimum dividends granted by these shares until such time as the respective distribution is completed. As a result of the fact that our by-laws do not provide for any fixed or minimum dividend,
  such unrestricted voting rights do not apply to our preferred shares.

Brazilian corporation law also provides that any change in the rights of preferred shareholders, or any creation of a class of shares with priority over the preferred shares must be approved by the owners of our common
  shares at a shareholders meeting. Any such approval will only become legally effective upon approval by the majority of our preferred shareholders at a special shareholders meeting, at which preferred shareholders vote as a special class
  of shareholder.

Brazilian corporation law grants the right to elect members of our board of directors (and alternates) at general shareholders meetings to the holders of (i) preferred shares with no voting rights (or with
  restricted voting rights) representing at least 10% of the total capital, and (ii) common shares that are not part of the controlling group, representing at least 15% of the total voting capital. In the event that the non-controlling holders of
  preferred shares or common shares do not represent the respective thresholds set out
  above, Brazilian corporation law provides that holders of preferred shares and common shares representing at least 10% of our capital may combine their holdings in order to elect a member (and alternate) to our board of directors.

Shareholders have certain rights which may not be altered by provisions of our by-laws or resolutions of shareholders meetings. These rights are (i) in the case of common shares only, the right to vote at general
  shareholders meetings, (ii) the right to participate in the distribution of dividends and interest paid on our own capital and to share in our remaining assets in the case of liquidation, (iii) rights to subscribe for shares or securities
  convertible to shares under certain circumstances, and (iv) withdrawal rights in certain cases. Our by-laws and a resolution of the majority of the shareholders with voting rights have the ability to establish as well as remove certain additional
  rights.

Registration of Our Shares; Form and Transfer

Our preferred shares are held in registered book-entry form, using the book-entry form services of Banco Itaú S.A., as custodian. Transfer of our preferred shares is carried out by means of an entry in their
  books, by debiting the share account of the transferor and crediting the share account of the transferee.

Transfer of shares by a foreign investor are made in the same way and executed by the investors local agent on the investors behalf except that, if the original investment was registered with the Central
  Bank pursuant to foreign investment regulations, the foreign investor should also seek amendment, if necessary, through its local agent, of the Certificate of Registration to reflect the new ownership.

The São Paulo Stock Exchange operates a central and fungible clearing system through the CBLC. A holder of our preferred shares may choose, at its discretion, to participate in these systems and all shares
  elected to be put into the systems will be deposited in custody with the relevant stock exchange (through a Brazilian institution that is duly authorized to operate by the Central Bank and maintains a clearing account with the relevant stock
  exchange). The fact that such shares are subject to custody with the relevant stock exchange will be reflected in our registry of shareholders.  Each participating shareholder will, in turn, be registered in our register of beneficial shareholders
  that is maintained by the relevant stock exchange and will be treated in the same way as registered shareholders.

American Depositary Receipts

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary has executed and delivered the ADRs representing our preferred shares. Each ADR is a certificate evidencing a specific number of American Depositary Shares, or ADSs. Each ADS
  represents an ownership interest in one preferred share which we have deposited with the custodian, as agent of the depositary. Each ADS also represents any securities, cash or other property deposited with the depositary but which they have not
  distributed directly to you. Unless specifically requested by you, all ADSs will be issued on the books of our depositary in book-entry form and periodic statements will be mailed to you which reflect your ownership interest in such ADSs. In our
  description, references to American depositary receipts or ADRs shall include the statements you will receive which reflects your ownership of ADSs.

The depositarys office is located at 4 New York Plaza, New York, NY 10004.

You may hold ADSs either directly or indirectly through your broker or other financial institution. If you hold ADSs directly, by having an ADS registered in your name on the books of the depositary, you are an ADR
  holder. If you hold the ADSs through your broker or financial institution nominee, you must rely on the procedures of such broker or financial institution to assert the rights of an ADR holder. You should consult with your broker or financial
  institution to find out what those procedures are.

Because the depositarys nominee will actually be the registered owner of the shares, you must rely on it to exercise the rights of a shareholder on your behalf.  The obligations of the depositary and its agents
  are set out in the deposit agreement.  The deposit agreement and the ADSs are governed by New York law.

C. Material Contracts

Our material contracts are directly related to our operating activities, such as contracts relating to aircraft leasing and fuel supply. We do not have material contracts that are not related to our operating
  activities.

D. Exchange Controls

Investors residing outside Brazil are authorized to purchase equity instruments, including our preferred shares, or as foreign portfolio investments on BOVESPA, provided that they comply with the registration
  requirements set forth in Resolution No. 2,689 of the National Monetary Council, (or Resolution No. 2,689) and CVM Instruction No. 325; or register their investment as foreign direct investments under Law No. 4,131/62.

With certain limited exceptions, Resolution No. 2,689 investors are permitted to carry out any type of transaction in the Brazilian financial capital market involving a security traded on a stock, future or organized
  over-the-counter market.  Investments and remittances outside Brazil of gains, dividends, profits or other payments under our preferred shares are made through the foreign exchange market.

Table of Contents

In order to become a Resolution No. 2,689 investor, an investor residing outside Brazil must:

- appoint a representative in Brazil with powers to take actions relating to the investment;
- appoint an authorized custodian in Brazil for the investments, which must be a financial institution duly authorized by the Central Bank and CVM; and
- through its representative, register itself as a foreign investor with the CVM and the investment with the Central Bank.

Securities and other financial assets held by foreign investors pursuant to Resolution No. 2,689 must be registered or maintained in deposit accounts or under the custody of an entity duly licensed by the Central Bank
  or the CVM. In addition, securities trading by foreign investors is generally restricted to transactions involving securities listed on the Brazilian stock exchanges or traded in organized over-the counter markets licensed by the CVM.

Foreign direct investors under Law No. 4,131/62 may sell their shares in both private or open market transactions, but these investors will generally be subject to less favorable tax treatment on gains.

A foreign direct investor under Law No. 4,131/62 must:

- register as a foreign direct investor with the Central Bank;
- obtain a taxpayer identification number from the Brazilian tax authorities;
- appoint a tax representative in Brazil; and
- appoint a representative in Brazil for service of process in respect of suits based on the Brazilian corporation law.

Resolution No. 1,927 of the National Monetary Council, which restated and amended Annex V to Resolution No. 1,289 of the National Monetary Council, provides for the issuance of depositary receipts in foreign markets in
  respect of shares of Brazilian issuers. We filed an application to have the ADSs approved under Resolution 1,927 by the Central Bank and the CVM, and we received final approval on March 6, 2006.

If a holder of ADSs decides to exchange ADSs for the underlying preferred shares, the holder will be entitled to (i) sell the preferred shares on the BOVESPA and rely on the depositarys electronic registration for
  five business days from the date of exchange to obtain and remit U.S. dollars abroad upon the holders sale of our preferred shares, (ii) convert its investment into a foreign portfolio investment under Resolution No. 2,689/00, or (iii) convert
  its investment into a foreign direct investment under Law No. 4,131/62.

If a holder of ADSs wishes to convert its investment into either a foreign portfolio investment under Resolution No. 2,689/00 or a foreign direct investment under Law No. 4,131/62, it should begin the process of
  obtaining his own foreign investor registration with the Central Bank or with the CVM as the case may be, in advance of exchanging the ADSs for preferred shares.

The custodian is authorized to update the depositarys electronic registration to reflect conversions of ADSs into foreign portfolio investments under Resolution No. 2,689/00. If a holder of ADSs elects to convert
  its ADSs into a foreign direct investment under Law 4,131/62, the conversion will be effected by the Central Bank after receipt of an electronic request from the custodian with details of the transaction.

If a foreign direct investor under Law No. 4,131/62 wishes to deposit its shares into the ADR program in exchange for ADSs, such holder will be required to present to the custodian evidence of payment of capital gains
  taxes. The conversion will be effected by the Central Bank after receipt of an electronic request from the custodian with details of the transaction. Please refer to Item 10. Additional Information - E. Taxation - Brazilian Tax
  Considerations for a description of the tax consequences to an investor residing outside Brazil of investing in our preferred shares in Brazil.

Table of Contents

E. Taxation

The summary below is based upon tax laws of Brazil and the United States as in effect on the date of this annual report, which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect).

There is at present no income tax treaty between Brazil and the United States. In recent years, the tax authorities of the two countries held discussions that did not, but may eventually, culminate in such a treaty. No
  assurance can be given as to whether or when such a treaty might enter into force or how it would effect the United States holders of our preferred shares.

Brazilian Tax Considerations

The following discussion summarizes the material Brazilian tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our preferred shares or ADSs by a holder that is not domiciled in Brazil for purposes of
  Brazilian taxation and, in the case of preferred shares, which has registered its investment in such securities with the Central Bank as a U.S. dollar investment (in each case, a Non-Brazilian Holder). Pursuant Brazilian law, investors may invest in
  the preferred shares under Resolution No. 2,689.

Resolution No. 2,689 allows foreign investors to invest in almost all financial assets and to engage in almost all transactions available in the Brazilian financial and capital markets, provided that some requirements
  are fulfilled.

In accordance with Resolution No. 2,689, the definition of foreign investor includes individuals, legal entities, mutual funds and other collective investment entities, domiciled or headquartered abroad.

Pursuant to Resolution No. 2,689, foreign investors must: (a) appoint at least one representative in Brazil with powers to perform actions relating to the foreign investment; (b) complete the appropriate foreign
  investor registration form; (c) register as a foreign investor with the Brazilian securities commission; and (d) register the foreign investment with the Central Bank.

Securities and other financial assets held by foreign investors pursuant to Resolution No. 2,689 must be registered or maintained in deposit accounts or under the custody of an entity duly licensed by the Central Bank
  or the CVM. In addition, securities trading is restricted to transactions carried out in the stock exchanges or organized over-the-counter markets licensed by the CVM, except for transfers resulting from a corporate reorganization, occurring upon
  the death of an investor by operation of law or will or as a consequence of the delisting of the relevant shares from a stock exchange and the cancellation of the registration with the CVM.

Taxation of Dividends

Dividends, including dividends in kind, paid by us to the depositary in respect of the preferred shares underlying the ADSs or to a Non-Brazilian Holder in respect of preferred shares generally will not be subject to
  Brazilian income withholding tax provided that they are paid out of profits generated as of or after January 1, 1996. Dividends relating to profits generated prior to December 31, 1995 are subject to a Brazilian withholding tax of 15% to 25%
  according to the tax legislation applicable to each corresponding year.

Taxation of Gains

Gains realized outside Brazil by a Non-Brazilian Holder on the disposition of ADSs to another Non-Brazilian Holder are not currently subject to Brazilian tax. However, according to Law No. 10,833, enacted on December
  29, 2003, or Law No. 10,833, the disposition of assets located in Brazil by a Non-Brazilian Holder, whether to other Non-Brazilian Holders or Brazilian holders, may become subject to taxation in Brazil. Although we believe that the ADSs do not fall
  within the definition of assets located in Brazil for purposes of Law No. 10,833, considering the general and unclear scope of such provisions and the lack of a judicial court ruling in respect thereto, we are unable to predict whether such
  understanding will ultimately prevail in the courts of Brazil.

For purposes of Brazilian taxation, there are two types of Non-Brazilian Holders of preferred shares or ADSs: (a) Non-Brazilian Holders that are not resident or domiciled in a tax haven jurisdiction (i.e., a country or
  location that does not impose income tax or where the maximum income tax rate is lower than 20% or where the internal legislation imposes restrictions to disclosure of shareholding composition or the ownership of the investment), and that, in the
  case of holders of preferred shares, are registered before the Central Bank and the CVM to invest in Brazil in accordance with Resolution No. 2,689; and (b) other Non-Brazilian Holders, which include any and all non-residents of Brazil who invest in
  equity securities of Brazilian companies through any other means and all types of investors that are located in tax haven jurisdiction. The investors mentioned in item (a) above are subject to a favorable tax regime in Brazil, as described below.

97

##### 

Table of Contents

The deposit of preferred shares in exchange for ADSs may be subject to Brazilian tax on capital gains at the rate of 15%, if the amount previously registered with the Central Bank as a foreign investment in the
  preferred shares is lower than (a) the average price per preferred share on a Brazilian stock exchange on which the greatest number of such shares were sold on the day of deposit; or (b) if no preferred shares were sold on that day, the average
  price on the Brazilian stock exchange on which the greatest number of preferred shares were sold in the 15 trading sessions immediately preceding such deposit. In such case, the difference between the amount previously registered and the average
  price of the preferred shares calculated as above will be considered to be a capital gain. Such taxation is not applicable in case of investors registered under Resolution No. 2,689 which are not located in a tax haven jurisdiction, which are
  currently tax exempt from income tax in such transaction.

The withdrawal of ADSs in exchange for preferred shares is not subject to Brazilian tax. Upon receipt of the underlying preferred shares, a Non-Brazilian Holder registered under Resolution No. 2,689 will be entitled to
  register the U.S. dollar value of such shares with the Central Bank as described below.

As a general rule, Non-Brazilian Holders registered under Resolution No. 2,689 that are not located in a tax haven jurisdiction are subject to income tax at a rate of 15% on gains realized on sales or exchanges of
  preferred shares outside a Brazilian stock exchange. With reference to proceeds of a redemption or of a liquidating distribution with respect to the preferred shares, the difference between the amount effectively received by the shareholder and the
  amount of foreign currency registered with the Central Bank, translated into reaisat the commercial market rate on the date of the redemption or liquidating distribution, will be also subject to income tax at a rate of 15% once such
  transactions are treated as a sale or exchange not carried out on Brazilian stock exchange. In both cases, if the Non-Brazilian Holders are located in tax haven jurisdictions, the applicable rate is 25%. Gains realized arising from transactions on a
  Brazilian stock exchange by an investor registered under Resolution No. 2,689 that is not located in a tax haven jurisdiction are exempt from Brazilian income tax. This preferential treatment under Resolution No. 2,689 does not apply to
  Non-Brazilian Holders of the preferred shares or ADSs that are resident in a tax haven jurisdiction, in which case, gains realized on transactions performed by such holder on the Brazilian stock exchange are subject to the same tax rate that is
  applicable to a Brazilian resident. Pursuant to Law No. 11,033 of December 21, 2004, the rate applicable to Brazilian residents in transaction entered as of January 1, 2005 was established at 15%, being also subject to a withholding tax of 0.005%
  (to be offset against tax due on eventual capital gains).

Therefore, Non-Brazilian Holders are subject to income tax at a rate of 15% on gains realized on sales or exchanges in Brazil of preferred shares that occur on a Brazilian stock exchange, unless such sale is made by a
  Non-Brazilian Holder that is not resident in a tax haven jurisdiction, and (a) such a sale is made within five business days of the withdrawal of such preferred shares in exchange for ADSs and the proceeds of such sale are remitted abroad within
  such five-day period, or (b) such a sale is made under Resolution No. 2,689 by Non-Brazilian Holders that register with the CVM. In these two cases the transaction will be tax exempt.

The gain realized as a result of a transaction on a Brazilian stock exchange is the difference between the amount in Brazilian currency realized on the sale or exchange of the shares and their acquisition
  cost, without any correction for innovation. The gain realized as a result of a transaction that occurs other than on a Brazilian stock exchange, with shares that are registered under a certificate of registration of investment (other
  than under Resolution No. 2,689), will be calculated based on the foreign currency amount registered with the Central Bank which will be translated into reaisat the commercial market rate of the date of such sale or exchange.  There can be
  no assurance that the current preferential treatment for holders of ADSs and Non-Brazilian Holders of preferred shares under Resolution No. 2,689 will continue or will not be changed in the future. Reductions in the tax rate provided for by
  Brazils tax treaties do not apply to tax on gains realized on sales or exchanges of preferred shares.

Any exercise of preemptive rights relating to the preferred shares or ADSs will not be subject to Brazilian taxation. Any gain on the sale or assignment of preemptive rights relating to preferred shares by the
  depositary on behalf of holders of ADSs will be subject to Brazilian income taxation according to the same rules applicable to the sale or disposition of preferred shares.

Distributions of Interest Attributable to Shareholders Equity.

In accordance with Law No. 9,249, dated December 26, 1995, as amended Brazilian corporations may make payments to shareholders characterized as distributions of interest on the companys shareholders equity.
  Such interest is calculated by reference to the TJLP as determined by the Central Bank from time to time and cannot exceed the greater of:

- 50% of net income (after social contribution on profits and before taking such distribution and any deductions for corporate income tax into account) for the period in respect of which the payment is made; or
- 50% of the sum of retained profits and profits reserves.

Distributions of interest on shareholders equity in respect of the preferred shares paid to shareholders who are either Brazilian residents or non-Brazilian residents, including holders of ADSs, are subject to
  Brazilian income withholding tax at the rate of 15%, or 25% in case of shareholders domiciled in a tax haven jurisdiction.  The distribution of interest on shareholders equity may be determined by our board of directors. We cannot assure you
  that our board of directors will not determine that future distributions of profits may be made by means of interest on shareholders equity instead of by means of dividends.

The amounts paid as distribution of interest on shareholders equity are deductible for corporation income tax and social contribution on profit, both of which are taxes levied on our profits, as far as the limits
  and rules described above are observed by us.

Other Relevant Brazilian Taxes

There are no Brazilian inheritance, gift or succession taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of preferred shares or ADSs by a Non-Brazilian Holder except for gift and inheritance taxes which are
  levied by some states of Brazil on gifts made or inheritances bestowed by individuals or entities not resident or domiciled in Brazil or domiciled within the state to individuals or entities resident or domiciled within such state in Brazil. There
  are no Brazilian stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of preferred shares or ADSs. Pursuant to Decree 4,494 of December 3, 2002, the conversion into foreign currency or the conversion into Brazilian currency of
  the proceeds received by a Brazilian entity from a foreign investment in the Brazilian securities market, including those in connection with the investment in the preferred shares and ADSs and those made under Resolution No. 2,689, is potentially
  subject to an exchange transactions tax (Imposto Sobre Operãçoes Financeiras - IOF/Câmbio), although at present the rate of such tax is generally zero percent. Under Law No. 8,894 of June 21, 1994, or Law No. 8,894, such
  IOF tax rate may be increased at any time to a maximum of 25%, but any such increase will only be applicable to transactions occurring after such increase becomes effective.

Law No. 8,894 creates the Tax on Bonds and Securities Transactions (IOF/Títulos), which may be imposed on any transactions involving bonds and securities effected in Brazil, even if there transactions are
  performed on a Brazilian stock exchange. As a general rule, the rate of this tax is currently zero but the executive branch may increase such rate up to 1.5% per day, but only with respect to future transactions.

Until December 31, 2007 financial transfers were taxed by the Contribuição Provisória sobre Movimentação Financeira, or CPMF, at a rate of 0.38% . The CPMF was levied
  upon the remittance of proceeds on the amount converted in reaisof the transaction and was required to be withheld by the financial institution that carries out the transaction. Currently, the funds transferred from a bank account to acquire
  shares on the Brazilian stock exchange are exempt from CPMF. In addition, Provisional Measure 281 of February 15, 2006 provided that the CPMF rate assessable on an acquisition of shares in a non-organized over the counter transaction was to be
  reduced to zero (provided that such acquisition relates to a public offering of shares made by a publicly-traded company). However, as of January 1, 2008, CPMF is no longer in force, as the Brazilian Senate did not approve the Constitutional
  Amendment which would extend the term of CPMF collection. Therefore, CPMF should not be levied on any debit to bank accounts carried out after such date.

United States

The following summary describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our ADSs or preferred shares as of the date hereof. Except where noted, this discussion deals only
  with U.S. Holders (as defined below) that hold our ADSs or preferred shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment).

Table of Contents

This summary does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including if you are:

- a financial institution;
- a dealer or trader in securities or currencies;
- a regulated investment company;
- a real estate investment trust;
- an insurance company;
- a tax-exempt organization;
- a person holding our ADSs or preferred shares as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, a constructive sale or a straddle;
- a person liable for alternative minimum tax;
- a person who actually or by attribution owns 10% or more of our voting stock;
- a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or
- a person whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (which we refer to as the Code), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, and
  such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. If you are considering the purchase, ownership or disposition of our ADSs or preferred shares, you
  should consult your own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular situation as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

As used herein, U.S. Holder means a holder of our ADSs or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

- a citizen or resident alien of the United States;
- a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;
- an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
- a trust which is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust (or otherwise if the trust has a valid election in effect under
    current Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person).

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our ADSs or preferred shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and
  the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our ADSs or preferred shares, you should consult your tax advisors.

In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of the ADSs will be treated as the beneficial owners of the underlying preferred shares that are represented by such ADSs. Accordingly, deposits or
  withdrawals of preferred shares by U.S. Holders for the ADSs will not be subject to the U.S. federal income tax. This summary is based, in part, upon representations made by the depositary to us and assumes that the deposit agreements, and all other
  related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms.

The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties involved in transactions where depositary shares are pre-released may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits for U.S.
  holders of ADSs. Accordingly, the analysis of the creditability of Brazilian taxes and the availability of the reduced dividend rate discussed below could be affected by future actions that may be taken by the U.S. Treasury.

Taxation of dividends

Subject to the discussion under  Passive foreign investment company rules below, distributions on our ADSs or preferred shares, including distributions paid in the form of payments of interest on
  capital for Brazilian tax purposes, before reduction for any Brazilian income tax withheld by us, will be taxable as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax
  purposes.  Such dividends, including any withheld taxes, will be includable as ordinary income on the day received by the depository.  Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations. Under current
  law, dividends received before January 1, 2011 by non-corporate U.S. investors on shares of certain foreign corporations will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum rate of 15% if certain conditions are met. A U.S. Holder will be
  eligible for this reduced rate only if it has held the ADSs or preferred shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date. A U.S. Holder will not be able to claim the reduced rate for any year in
  which the company is treated as a PFIC. See - Passive foreign investment company rules below.

Based on existing guidance, it is not entirely clear whether dividends received with respect to the preferred shares will be treated as qualified dividends because the preferred shares are not themselves listed on a
  U.S. exchange. In addition, the U.S. Treasury has announced its intention to promulgate rules pursuant to which holders of ADSs and intermediaries through whom such securities are held will be permitted to rely on certifications from issuers to
  establish that dividends are treated as qualified dividends. Because such procedures have not yet been issued, it is not clear whether the company will be able to comply with them. Holders of ADSs should consult their own tax advisers regarding the
  availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in the light of their own particular circumstances.

The amount of any dividend paid in reaiswill equal the U.S. dollar value of the reaisreceived calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is actually or constructively
  received by the depositary, regardless of whether the reaisare converted into U.S. dollars at that time. A U.S. holder should not recognize any foreign currency gain or loss in respect of such distribution if the reaisis converted
  into U.S. dollars on the date received. If any reaisreceived are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, you will have a tax basis in the reaisequal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss
  realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the reaiswill be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss.

Subject to generally applicable limitations and restrictions, Brazilian withholding taxes on dividends may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability. In the event
  that you do not elect to claim a credit for foreign taxes, you may instead claim a deduction in respect of such Brazilian taxes.  For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our ADSs or preferred shares will be treated as
  income from sources outside the United States. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately for specific categories of income. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex.  You are urged to consult your tax
  advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under your particular circumstances.

Taxation of capital gains

Subject to the discussion under  Passive foreign investment company rules below, you will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on any sale, exchange or redemption of our
  ADSs or preferred shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for the ADSs or preferred shares and your tax basis in the ADSs or preferred shares. This gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the
  ADSs or preferred shares for more than one year at such time. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by you will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. Consequently, you may not be able
  to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Brazilian tax imposed on the disposition of our ADSs or preferred shares unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from
  foreign sources in the appropriate income category. Alternatively, you may take a deduction for the Brazilian tax.

If Brazilian tax is withheld on the sale or disposition of our ADSs or preferred shares, your amount realized will include the gross amount of the proceeds of such sale or disposition before deduction of Brazilian tax.

Passive foreign investment company rules

Based on the information available, including our current market capitalization, we do not expect to be considered a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Passive foreign investment
  company status depends on a foreign company not earning more than a permitted amount of gross income that is considered passive income (such as interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties) and not holding more than a permitted
  percentage of assets, determined by value, that produce or are held to produce passive income. These tests depend on our income and the fair market value of our assets from time to time, which include a significant number of passive assets.
  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year due, among other factors, to a decline in our market capitalization. If you are a taxable U.S. Holder and we are treated
  as a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year during which you own preferred shares or ADSs, you could be subject to materially adverse consequences including the imposition of significantly greater amounts of U.S. tax liability on
  disposition gains and certain distributions as well as additional tax form filing requirements.

Other Brazilian taxes

You should note that any Brazilian IOF/Exchange Tax, IOF/Bonds Tax or the recently extinguished CPMF Tax (as discussed above under - Brazilian Tax Considerations above) may not be treated as a creditable
  foreign tax for U.S. federal income tax purposes, although you may be entitled to deduct such taxes, subject to applicable limitations under the Code. You should consult your tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of these
  taxes.

Information reporting and backup withholding

Information returns may be filed with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with distributions on our ADSs or preferred shares and the proceeds from their sale, exchange or redemption unless you establish that you
  are exempt from the information reporting rules, for example because you are a corporation. If you do not establish this, you may be subject to backup withholding on these payments if you fail to provide your taxpayer identification number or comply
  with certain certification procedures. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to you will be allowed as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle you to a refund, provided that the required information is
  timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

H. Documents on Display

We are subject to the informational requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which is also known as the Exchange Act.  Accordingly, we are required to file and/or furnish reports and other information
  with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K. You may inspect and copy reports and other information to be filed with the SEC at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington
  D.C. 20549. Copies of the materials may be obtained from the Public Reference Room of the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549 at prescribed rates. The public may obtain information on the operation of the SECs Public Reference
  Room by calling the SEC in the United States at 1-800-SEC-0330.  In addition, the SEC maintains an internet website at http://www.sec.gov, from which you can electronically access these materials. In addition, such reports, proxy statements and
  other information concerning us can be inspected at the offices of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., 20 Broad Street, New York, New York 10005, on which our equity securities are listed.

As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to the same disclosure requirements as a domestic U.S. registrant under the Exchange Act. For example, we are not required to prepare and issue quarterly reports. However,
  we furnish our shareholders with annual reports containing financial statements audited by our independent registered public accounting firm and make available to our shareholders quarterly reports containing unaudited financial data for the first
  three quarters of each fiscal year. We file annual reports on Form 20-F within the time period required by the SEC, which is currently six months from December 31, the end of our fiscal year.

We will send the depositary a copy of all notices that we give relating to meetings of our shareholder or to distributions to shareholders or the offering of rights and a copy of any other report or communication that
  we make generally available to our shareholders. The depositary will make all these notices, reports and communications that it receives from us available for inspection by registered holders of ADSs at its office. The depositary will mail copies of
  those notices, reports and communications to you if we ask the depositary to do so and furnish sufficient copied of materials for that purpose.

We also file financial statements and other periodic reports with the CVM located at Rua de Setembro, 111, Rio de Janeiro, RJ 20159-900, Brazil.

I. Subsidiary Information

Not applicable.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks from our normal commercial activities.  These market risks principally relate to changes in interest rates, exchange rates or oil prices. Any such changes may adversely affect the value of
  our financial assets and liabilities or our future cash flow and income. Market risk is the possible loss derived from variations in market prices. We have entered into derivative contracts and other financial instruments for the purpose of hedging
  against variations in these factors.  We have also implemented policies and procedures in order to evaluate such risks and approve and monitor our derivative transactions, including a policy which stipulates that we will only enter into derivative
  transactions with counterparties who have a high credit rating. The counterparties to our derivative transactions are major financial institutions.  We do not have significant exposure to any single counterparty in relation to derivative
  transactions.

Interest rate risk

Our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on interest expense from variable-rate debt instruments, variable-rate leasing contracts and on interest income generated from
  our cash and short-term investment balances. A hypothetical 10% increase in market interest rates at December 31, 2007 would increase our aircraft rental and interest expense by approximately R$23 million. A hypothetical 10% decrease in market
  interest rates as of December 31, 2007 would decrease our interest income from cash equivalents and short-term investments by approximately R$30 million. These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on
  our variable-rate debt, variable-rate leasing contracts and cash equivalent and short-term investment balances at December 31, 2007.

Exchange rate risk

A significant part of our costs and operating expenses, such as aircraft and engine maintenance services, aircraft lease payments and aircraft insurance, are denominated in U.S. dollars. To manage exchange rate risk, we
  enter into derivative contracts with various counterparties to protect ourselves against a possible depreciation or devaluation of the real in relation to the U.S. dollar.  At December 31, 2007, we had a number of outstanding currency futures
  contracts and the fair value of such contracts was R$0.8 million. As a measure of our market risk with respect to our foreign currency exposure, an increase in aircraft and engine maintenance expense, aircraft operating lease payments and aircraft
  insurance from a hypothetical R$0.10 depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar would be approximately R$48 million, not considering our derivative contracts.

Risks relating to variations in the price of oil

Our results of operation are affected by changes in the price of oil. We have entered into derivative transactions in order to hedge ourselves against this risk. Our policy is to enter into derivative transactions
  covering a minimum of 30% and a maximum of 80% of our projected fuel consumption for up to a rolling 24 month period. At December 31, 2007, we had outstanding derivatives contracts relating to the price of oil in respect of approximately 5.5 million
  barrels of oil. In 2007, we recorded gains of R$40 million in respect of these contracts.

Based on projections for the consumption of fuel in 2008, a hypothetical 10% increase in the price of a liter of fuel in 2008 would lead to an increase of approximately R$3,600 million in relation to our fuel costs (not
  taking our derivative transactions into account).

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
  our disclosure controls and procedures as of the year ended December 31, 2007. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or
  overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. As a result of this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
  Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2007, and that the information required to be disclosed in our filings and submissions under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
  summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
  appropriate to allow timely decisions about required disclosure.

Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of TAM S.A. (TAM or the Company), including the CFO and CEO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The Companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

TAMs management has assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and, based on such criteria, TAMs management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, the Companys internal control over financial reporting is
effective.

The effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report
which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of TAM S.A.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in shareholders equity, of changes in financial position and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of TAM S.A. and its subsidiaries (the Company) at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity
with accounting practices adopted in Brazil. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control 
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express
opinions on these financial statements and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits (which were integrated audits in 2007 and 2006). We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of the financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As described in Note 20(h) the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for derivative financial instruments.

Accounting practices adopted in Brazil vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is
presented in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are

recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1 Operations

TAM S.A. ("TAM'' or "Company'') was incorporated in 1997, to invest in companies which carry out air transportation activities. The Company's principal subsidiaries are TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. ("TLA''), which operates in the transportation of
passengers and cargo within Brazil and on international routes, and Transportes Aéreos del Mercosur S.A. ("Mercosur''), an airline headquartered in Asunción, Paraguay, which operates in Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and
Bolivia.

In April 2007, two wholly-owned finance subsidiaries of TLA were constituted, namely TAM Capital Inc. (TAM Capital) and TAM Financial Services 1 Limited (TAM Financial 1), and in October 2007 TAM Financial Services 2 Limited
(TAM Financial 2) was constituted. These subsidiaries are headquartered in the Cayman Islands, and their main activities involve aircraft acquisition and financing. Debt issued by these wholly-owned companies is wholly and
unconditionally guaranteed by TAM.

The Company also controls TP Participações Ltda. (TP Participações), whose corporate purpose is holding ownership interests in other companies.

TLA consolidates the financial statements of Fidelidade Viagens e Turismo Ltda. (Fidelidade), whose exclusive corporate purpose is to carry out the activities of a travel and tourism agency, under the name TAM Viagens.

2 Presentation of the Financial Statements

These financial statements were approved by the Companys Board of Directors on March 28, 2008.

The individual and consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, pursuant to the Corporate Law and to the rules set forth by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM).

In the preparation of the financial statements, it is necessary to make estimates to account for certain assets, liabilities and other transactions. The Company's financial statements include, therefore, estimates related to the selection of the
useful lives of property, plant and equipment, allowances necessary for contingent liabilities, establishment of allowances for income tax and other similar items. The actual results may differ from these estimates. The Company and its subsidiaries
review the estimates and assumptions at least once a year.

In order to provide additional information, the Company is presenting a cash flow statement (DFC) prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard (NPC) 20/99 issued by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors 
(Ibracon).

The Company also utilizes the chart of accounts drawn up by the Civil Aviation National Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil, or "ANAC'').

As a result of a change in accounting practice for the recognition of derivative financial instruments at fair market value, as mentioned in Note 20 (h), the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 have been restated, in accordance
with NPC 122, approved by CVM Resolution 506/06. The impacts of this change in accounting practice are described in Note 20 (h).

The main accounting practices adopted in the preparation of the consolidated and individual financial statements are set out below:

F-13

##### 

Table of Contents

(a) Determination of results of operations

Results of operations are determined on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recognized as follows:

i. air transportation revenues (passengers and cargo) are recognized when transportation services are rendered;

ii. tickets sold but not yet
  used related to advance ticket sales are recorded as current liabilities;

iii. revenue for unused tickets is recognized on the ticket expiration date, which is one year after the issuance date of the ticket; and

iv. other operating revenues represented by fees arising from alterations to flight reservations, sub-lease of aircraft and other services are recognized when the service is provided. Other operating revenues also includes revenue from partnerships
with the Fidelity program for frequent flyers ("TAM Loyalty Program'') which is recognized when the points are issued to participants.

Interest income is recognized on a pro rata basis, taking into account the principal outstanding and rates in effect up to maturity or the date of the financial statements.

(b) Foreign currency

Foreign currency items included in the financial statements are first measured by using the currency that best reflects the relevance and business substance of the underlying events and circumstances (measurement currency). In the
Company's financial statements, foreign currency items are stated in (R$), which is the Company measurement currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated from measurement currencies at the exchange rates ruling on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities balances are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates. Exchange gains and losses
on the settlement of such transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are taken to income.

(c) Current and long-term receivables

Cash and banks are stated at cost. Financial investments comprise short-term, highly liquid investments and are stated at cost plus accrued earnings up to the balance sheet date.

Customer accounts receivable are stated at the original sale amount, less provision for doubtful accounts. Management records such provisions at amounts considered sufficient to meet probable losses on the realization of credits.

Inventories, consisting mainly of parts and materials to be used in maintenance and repair services, are stated at the average acquisition cost, which is lower than the replacement cost, and net of provisions for the depreciation of obsolete items.

Other current and non-current assets are stated at their net realizable values.

(d) Permanent assets

- Investments

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of TLA is based mainly on the acquired companys expected future profitability, and was amortized over ten years, as of the date on which the benefits started to be generated. This goodwill was entirely
amortized up to December 31, 2007. In the consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2006 the balance was reclassified as "deferred charges".

F-14

---

##### 

Table of Contents

Negative goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Mercosur is attributed to several economic reasons (art. 21, item C of the CVM Instruction 1/78) and will therefore only be amortized upon the eventual divestiture or extinction of the investment,
in accordance with art. 14, paragraph 4, of CVM Instruction 247/96. Also as required by this Instruction, in the consolidated financial information, this amount is classified as deferred income.

- Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at acquisition, formation or construction cost, plus revaluation carried out by subsidiaries for certain account groups, based on independent appraisers reports.

Increases in book value arising from the revaluation of subsidiaries' assets are credited to the revaluation reserve, in stockholders equity. Every year, the amount of depreciation based on the revalued book value (depreciation is taken to
income) in excess of depreciation based on the original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to reduce the cost or revalued amount of individual assets to their residual values, at the rates mentioned in Note 10. Land is not depreciated.

When the book value of an asset is higher than its estimated recoverable value, it is immediately decreased to recoverable value.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the sale amounts and the book values and are recorded in non-operating results. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained
earnings.

Maintenance expenditures for engines are capitalized and depreciated through the date scheduled for the next maintenance.

- Deferred charges

In the consolidated financial statements, deferred charges mainly represent the goodwill arising from the acquisition of TLA.

- Intangible assets

Expenses related to development or maintenance of software are recognized as expenses as they are incurred. Expenses directly related to identifiable and unique software, controlled by the Company and which will probably generate economic benefits
greater than their costs for over one year, are recognized as intangible assets. Direct expenses refer to costs with software development companies, and the appropriate portion of the correlated general expenses.

Expenses with improvement or expansion of software performance beyond original specifications are added to the software original cost. Expenses with development of software recognized as assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their
useful lives, in terms no longer than 3 years.

- Impairment of permanent assets

Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changing circumstances suggest that their book value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are
recognized as the excess of the asset book value over its recoverable value, which is the higher of the selling price and value in use. For impairment determination purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash flows can be
separately identified.

Table of Contents

(e) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a legal or constituted obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recorded considering the
best estimates of the risk specific to the liability.

(f) Advance ticket sales

Advance ticket sales represent the liabilities connected with tickets sold and not yet used in the last 12 months. Such amounts are recognized as income when the service is actually rendered or when the tickets expire.

(g) Benefits to employees

TLA sponsored three private pension plans, offering defined benefits and defined contributions. On November 21, 2006, the Supplementary Pension Secretary (SPC) approved the migration of the participants in these plans to a new plan of
the free benefits type (PGBL). The Company makes contributions to this plan on a contractual or voluntary basis and is not required to make additional payments. The actuarial assets relating to employees who remained in the defined
benefit plan were transferred to a third party financial institution, as described in Note 24 (a).

A liability is recognized as employees profit sharing when certain performance targets are accomplished (Note 24 (b))

(h) Income tax and social contribution

Income tax and social contribution, for the current period and deferred, are calculated based on 15%, plus an additional 10% on taxable income exceeding R$240 for income tax and 9% on taxable income for social contribution on net income, and
consider the offsetting of tax losses and social contribution negative basis, limited to 30% of taxable profit.

Deferred taxes resulting from tax loss, social contribution negative basis, and temporary differences were constituted in conformity with CVM Instruction no. 371 of June 27, 2002, and consider the profitability history and the expected future
taxable income generation based on a technical feasibility study.

(i) Lease agreements

i Financial leases: when a lease contract for an asset related to the Companys operations contains a bargain purchase option, the original cost of the leased asset is recorded as Property, plant & equipment against Leases
payable, recorded in current and long-term liabilities.

ii Simple operating leases: refer to leases without a bargain purchase option clause. Liabilities and the respective expenses of this type of lease are recorded when incurred, as Cost of services rendered.

Table of Contents

(j) Loans

Loans obtained are initially recorded upon receipt of funds, net of transaction costs. Subsequently, they are stated at amortized cost, that is, including charges and interest on a pro rata basis, net of repayments made.

Non-convertible debentures and senior notes are recorded similarly to loans.

(k) TAM Loyalty Program

The Company sponsors a program (TAM Loyalty Program) to award frequent flyers, whereby points are accumulated when flying TAM or partner airline companies, or when making purchases using the TAM Loyalty Program credit card, or using the services and
products of commercial partners.

On December 31, 2007 and 2006, TLA's customers had earned points which had not been utilized.

Revenues resulting from the TAM Loyalty Program partnerships, from credit cards, hotels, car rental and others are recorded when the points are issued to the participants. The other revenues from the Loyalty Program resulting from partnerships are
recorded when they are received.

(l) Current and long-term liabilities

Current and long-term liabilities are stated at the known or estimated amounts, including, when applicable, accrued interest, indexation charges and exchange rate variations to date of the financial statements.

(m) Interest on own capital

Interest on own capital which has been paid or provided is accounted for as financial expense. For financial statement presentation purposes, this interest is reclassified to retained earnings (accumulated deficit).

(n) Financial instruments

TLA contracts operations involving financial instruments with the objective of mitigating exposure to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and fuel price variations. These risks are managed by defining operational strategies and establishing
control systems.

As from the first quarter of 2007, the Company changed its accounting method and started to recognize these operations at their fair market value. Although the previous practice was acceptable under Brazilian GAAP, the fair market value is more
widely used in the industry and represents the current trend in the harmonization process with international accounting practices. For comparison purposes, the financial statements referring to the year ended December 31, 2006 have been adjusted.
(Note 20 (h)).

(o) Capital

Common and non-redeemable preferred shares are classified in stockholders equity.

(p) Capital and revenue reserves

Capital reserves include donations of assets and cash, including premium on the issuance of shares.

The legal reserve corresponds to 5% of net income for the year, up to the limit of 20% of capital stock, as established by Law 6404/76.

Table of Contents

The balance of revenue reserve refers to the retention of the remaining balance of retained earnings to meet the requirements of business growth set out in the investment plan, in accordance with the capital budget proposed by the Company
management, subject to the approval of the Stockholders Meeting, pursuant to article 196 of the Brazilian Corporate Law.

(q) Dividends

The Company by-laws establish that all stockholders are entitled to a minimum dividend of 25% of net income for each year, calculated in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law.

7 Advances to aircraft manufacturers and for aircraft maintenance

At December 31, 2007, as part of the Companys long-term aircraft acquisition plan, advances were made to aircraft manufacturers in the amount of R$ 969,555 (2006  R$ 352,708), equivalent to US$ 547,369 thousand (2006  US$ 164,971
thousand). Of this total, R$ 864,440 (2006  R$ 221,793) relates to aircraft with delivery scheduled for the coming year.

8 Deposits in guarantee

Deposits and collaterals in guarantee relating to the lease of aircraft and engines serve mainly to guarantee payments of operating lease installments. Such deposits and collaterals are denominated in U.S. dollars, and accrue interest based on the
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR'') plus a spread of 1% per annum (p.a.). The terms for redemption are defined in the lease contracts. At December 31, 2007 the balance of deposits was R$ 161,488 (2006  R$ 144,444).

9 Related-party transactions

During the year end December 31, 2007 TLA received from Táxi Aéreo Marília S.A. ("Marília"), a company under common control, R$ 820 (2006  R$ 1,244), as reimbursement for the use of its structure, mainly the importation
areas and human resources. This amount was credited to "cost of services rendered".

On May 11, 2007, TLA and TAM Marília agreed to share the utilization of a hangar located by the Congonhas airport, for a period of 10 years. TLA paid to TAM Marília R$ 15,500 and may use the facilities and the infra-structure of the
hangar, providing the same cargo services as those previously provided in the old cargo terminal. The total amount was established based on valuation reports performed by independent companies, reflecting the economic premium obtained by the use of
such a location in TLA cargo activities.

The Company and its subsidiaries signed a contract in March 2005 with TAM Milor Táxi Aéreo, Representações, Marcas e Patentes S.A. ("TAM Milor") for the right to use the "TAM" brand. This contract is valid for a term identical to
the current passenger air transport concession of TLA and establishes a monthly fee, adjusted annually by IGPM, which totaled to R$ 14,331 for the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006  R$ 14,051) recorded as Administrative expenses.

Flight equipment includes engines and spare parts. Other is mainly composed of improvements carried out on the runway at the São Carlos Technology Center.

On August 1, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a donation of the land previously utilized by the Cargo Terminal  TAM Express to the municipality of São Paulo. The Company has already been granted the release of the property by the
financial institution which had it as a guarantee for loan, and is currently awaiting the legal formalities in order to complete the donation process. The residual value of the land amounted to R$ 1,886 and has been written off under
Non-operating income (expenses).

Buildings and other assets damaged in the accident were insured and negotiations are in progress to recover the losses. Management believes that the damages will be fully reimbursed.

Construction in progress is mainly composed of improvements carried out at the São Carlos Technology Center, and the assembly of parts required for aircraft remodeling.

Properties and improvements of the subsidiary TLA have been mortgaged as guarantees for loans (Note 11) in the amount of R$ 110,499 (2006 - RS 110,499).

(b) Revaluation (Note 20 (d))

In 2006, the subsidiary TLA recorded a revaluation of aircraft engines and properties, that resulted in an increase in stockholders equity of R$ 9,541 (R$ 7,332 less the provision for income tax and social contribution, pursuant to CVM
Deliberation 273/98). The revaluation was based on the then fair market value of the assets. When applicable, new estimates of useful lives of these items were determined.

In compliance with the practices adopted by the Company, on November 30, 2007 Mercosur evaluated its aircraft engines and property. This evaluation resulted in a decrease in the stockholders equity of R$ 832 with a net effect in TAM of R$ 790
(2006  R$ 601). The evaluation was based on the current replacement value of the assets, in their current state of use.

As required by CVM Deliberation 183/95, the part of the revaluation reserve realized of R$ 3,665 was transferred to Retained earnings in the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006  R$ 4,246 and 2005  R$ 3,852).

(b) Commitments for future aircraft leases

i.Airbus:

Since 1998, TLA has firm orders to purchase new Airbus aircraft, with two A320 aircraft still to be delivered through 2008.

In 2005, the Company executed an amendment to the contract with Airbus for the firm order of 20 Airbus A320, the remaining 16 of which to be delivered by 2010, with an option for 20 more of the same aircraft family (including A319,
A320 and A321).

In 2006 the Company finalized the contract to acquire a further 37 Airbus aircraft (31 aircraft narrow body family A320 and 6 A330) for delivery by 2010.

On June 28, 2007, the Company also executed a Memorandum of Understanding for the purchase of 22 Airbus A350XWB models 800 and 900, with 10 more options, for delivery between 2013 and 2018.

Additionally, the Company confirmed the exercise of four options for Airbus A330, two of which will be delivered in 2010, and the other two in 2011, related to the agreement signed at the end of 2006.

In 2007, TLA executed a 6-year operational leasing agreement with Air Canada for 2 Airbus A340 500, which were delivered in the last quarter of 2007.

ii. Boeing

In 2006, the Company contracted the purchase of 4 Boeing 777-300 ER with 4 more options for the same aircraft, which were exercised in 2007. The Company now has eight firm orders contracted with Boeing for that type of aircraft, for
delivery starting in 2008.

The Company and Boeing also executed a short-term leasing agreement for 3 aircraft MD-11, which will operate until the delivery of the 4 Boeing777-300 ER in 2008.

14 Return of the Fokker 100 fleet

Pursuant to the agreement to return the Fokker 100 fleet, on December 19, 2003, TLA cancelled 19 lease agreements then outstanding, of which ten were finance leases and nine were operating leases. As a result, TLA agreed to pay a contractual
rescission penalty in 30 consecutive quarterly installments, between April 2004 and July 2011 in the original amount of R$ 94,188. This amount was recognized in the statement of operations in the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company issued
letters of guarantee as Security. TLA also renegotiated the rescheduled overdue installments in the original amount of R$ 49,599.

These aircraft, as of the date of the referred agreement up to their actual return, are contracted under the ordinary operating leasing mode.

On December 31, 2007, the total commitment under the Fokker 100 fleet operating leases arrangements amounted to R$ 53,024 (2006  R$ 74,619), equivalent to US$ 29,935 thousand (2006  US$ 34,901 thousand), of which R$ 11,501 (2006 
R$ 11,813) is classified in current liabilities.

certain months, and for the others TLA is supported by judicial measures. These amounts, net of judicial deposits, are updated based on the SELIC rate.

On November 9, 2005, the full bench of the Federal Supreme Court ruled that the increase in the tax base was unconstitutional. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company has been successful in obtaining a favorable ruling in one process reversed
the related provision in the amount of R$ 7,560, of which R$ 3,496 was recorded to administrative expenses and R$ 4,064 to financial expenses. At December 31, 2007, six processes are yet to be finally judged.

ii Corresponds to the collection of 1% on the amount of fares of all tickets sold for regular domestic routes. TLA management, based on the opinion of its outside legal counsel, is contesting the constitutionality of this collection, and non-payment
is supported by a judicial order.

iii. Corresponds to the collection of 2.5% on the monthly payroll for private social welfare and professional training entities. TLA management, based on the opinion of its outside legal counsel, is contesting the constitutionality of this
collection, and the non-payment is supported by a judicial order.

The changes in provision for contingencies and tax obligations under judicial dispute are summarized as follows:

(b) ICMS

i On December 17, 2001 the Federal Supreme Court ruled that domestic and international air passenger transportation revenue, as well as international air cargo transportation revenue were no longer subject to ICMS.

However, based on this ruling, ICMS taxation on domestic air cargo transportation revenue is still due. Management has recorded a provision at December 31, 2007 of R$ 6,059 (2006  R$ 7,467), in Taxes and tariffs payable. The installments due
in more than one year at December 31, 2007 totaling R$ 136 (2006  R$ 171) are classified as long-term liabilities under Other liabilities.

ii. Collection of certain ICMS payments made from 1989 to 1994 were later ruled to have been unconstitutional. TLA has filed several suits, in different states of the country, to claim the amount paid in excess. The Company will recognize the
credits, estimated at approximately R$ 55,000 and any final restatement, at such time as the financial recovery of this right has been confirmed by court decisions.

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties in other contingencies involving fiscal, labor and civil claims in the amount of R$ 423,125 at December 31, 2007 (2006 - R$ 292,242). Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, the Company believes that
the chances of success for the remaining amounts are possible but not probable.

(c) Contingent assets

i. Indemnification for losses on regulated fares

TLA filed a lawsuit against the Federal Government demanding indemnity for losses arising in the period from 1988 to 1993, when the fares were regulated by the Federal Government, under the argument that the economic balance of the concession had
been broken.

In April 1998, the lawsuit was ruled in the Companys favor by lower court of the Federal Justice, and an indemnity of R$ 245 million was determined based on a calculation made by an expert. This amount is subject to delinquent interest since
September 1993, and inflation adjustment since November 1994. The First Panel of the Higher Court of Justice accepted the special appeal made by TLA determining that the Federal Court of Appeals judge the merit of the case without intervention from
the Public Prosecutor.

Management has not recognized in the financial statements any amount for this indemnity and will do so only when the lawsuit is judged in its final instance.

ii. Additional tariff ATAERO

TLA filed a claim addressing the legality of the additional airport tariffs (ATAERO), which are 50% on the tariff amount. At December 31, 2007, the amount under discussion totaled approximately R$ 525,716 (2006 - R$ 430,537), not recognized in the
financial statements.

In conformity with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, the Company does not record stock options as remuneration expense. Had the Company recorded them as such, based on the fair value of the options on the granting date, the expense in the
period recorded under Personnel expenses would have increased by R$7,786 (2006  R$10,168).

(h) Change in the accounting practices

As from the first quarter of 2007, the Company's management, in conformity with the best corporate governance practices and improved financial controls, decided to record derivative financial instruments at fair market value.

As a result of this change, the previously issued financial statements for 2006 and 2005, presented for comparison purposes herein, have been adjusted to recognize losses on derivative instruments which were outstanding at December 31, 2006 and
2005, in the amounts of R$ 9,021 (R$ 5,954 net of tax effects), accounted for in Other accounts payable, as a contra entry to Retained earnings, and R$ 93,561 (R$ 61,750, net of tax effects), taken directly to Retained
earnings, respectively.

Recognition of derivative financial instruments at their fair market value generated a gain of $84,540 and a loss of $85,606 in years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, as compared to the previously reported amounts. As these amounts
are now recorded at fair market value under Brazilian GAAP there is no longer reconciling adjustments for US GAAP purposes related to these items.

Previously, as from the first quarter of 2006, the Company's management began to record a provision for future obligations under the reward program for frequent flyers (TAM Loyalty Program). Such change implied an adjustment, directly to Retained
earnings, in 2006, in the amount of R$ 8,919.

(i) Change in accounting practice for maintenance

In 2006, IBRACON issued the Technical Interpretation 01/2006, which requires the adoption of the built-in overhaul method for major maintenance activities. Accordingly, in 2006, TLA reversed expenses previously recognized related to maintenance
totaling R$ 15,445 (R$ 10,194 net of tax effects), and recorded the cumulative effect of the change in stockholders equity.

24 Employee benefits

(a) Supplementary pension plan

In the past, TLA sponsored three pension benefit supplementation plans, called TAM Prev  Plan I offering defined benefits, and TAM Prev  Plans II and III, offering defined contributions. On November 21, 2006, the Supplementary Pension
Secretary (SPC) approved the migration of pension plans I, II and III to a new type of free benefits plan (PGBL) managed by an independent institution. Plan I participants were given the option to transfer to a benefit generating plan (FGB) with
guaranteed benefits on retirement.

On September 30, 2007, the Company and Bradesco Vida e Previdência S.A. entered into an agreement by which the value of the benefits to the 5 remaining participants of Plan I will be maintained with the same conditions of the previous plan, and
the risk inherent to the payment of benefits is the sole responsibility of Bradesco Vida e Previdência S.A..

All other participants migrated to PGBL.

(b) Profit sharing

In accordance with the annual Union agreement, the Company will pay a share of its profits as a result of it reaching certain performance indicators established in line with the annual budget. Consequently, management recorded as Salaries and
payroll charges at December 31, 2007, the provision for payment of this benefit in the amount of R$ 35,439 (2006  R$ 82,390) relative to 2007.

25 Insurance coverage

The Company's subsidiaries contract insurance coverage for amounts above the minimum mandatory levels that they deem necessary in light of the nature of assets and operational risks. At December 31, 2007, based on the aircraft fleets of TLA and
Mercosur, the insurance coverage for aviation activities (including both aircraft and civil liabilities) provided for maximum indemnification of US$1.5 billion.

The Brazilian Government (through Law 10,744 of October 9, 2003, and Decree n° 5,035 of April 5, 2004) has committed to cover civil liability damages payable to third parties which the Company may be required to pay as a result of war or
terrorist attack. This law provides that the maximum liability of the Brazilian Government in respect of such matters is an amount in reais equivalent to US$1 billion.

The Company maintains adequate insurance for risks which are expected to cover any liabilities generated by the accident on July 17, 2007, of an Airbus A320 aircraft, considering the agreements already made with and paid to the victims
families by the insurance company. As of December 31, 2007, some 50 indemnifications were paid to families of the victims and another 57 are under negotiation with the Companys insurance firm. Management understands that the insurance coverage
of these liabilities is adequate to cover all related costs. The Company believes that it will not incur additional or unexpected expenses outside the scope of the insurance agreement which would be TAMs direct responsibility.

The subsidiaries also maintain insurance coverage that provides for indemnification in respect of expenses arising from theft, fire, flooding, electrical damage or other similar events affecting our equipment, facilities, vehicles or other property.

26 Financial instruments

(a) General considerations

In accordance with its established policy the Company enters into transactions involving derivative financial instruments in order to reduce the exposure to its main risks of exchange fluctuations on its revenue and changes in fuel prices. In
addition, temporary cash surpluses are applied in line with group treasury policies, which are continuously reviewed, seeking to keep in line with the market and maximize returns with the lower possible risks.

The management of these financial instruments is made pursuant to operational strategies, pursuing liquidity, return and security. Management policy consists in monitoring contracted rates against current market rates. The Company does not invest in
derivatives or any other high-risk assets of a speculative nature.

In the first quarter of 2007 the Company, in order to align its accounting practices with the best governance practices, changed its criteria for recognizing derivative financial instruments to fair value market. Changes in market value are included
in the Companys results of operations.

i. Risk of the price of fuel

One of the most important financial risks of Airline companies is the volatility in fuel prices. Fuel represented for the year ended at December 31, 2007 32.2% (2006  33.6%), respectively of the main costs (Note 22).

At December 31, 2007, the Company had options to buy fuel, with maturity up to November, 2008, which were equivalent to approximately 5,500 thousand barrels (2006  1,150 thousand barrels with various maturities up to May 2007).

ii. Foreign exchange rate risk

This risk is related to possible foreign exchange rates volatility, affecting the financial expense (or income) and the outstanding liabilities (or assets) balances indexed to a foreign currency. Part of this risk is mitigated given the fact that
the Company operates overseas and revenues from these transactions are denominated in foreign currency. The existing policy for hedging foreign exchange risk is to cover foreign currency cash flow (net) for the subsequent months.

The Company and its subsidiaries contract derivative financial operations, aimed mainly to protect its foreign currency exposure from fuel, engine maintenance services and financing related to its operational activities. At December 31, 2007 there
were no outstanding operations in foreign currency, by decision of the Companys Risk Committee.

iii. Interest rate risk

This risk arises from possible losses (or gains) as a result of fluctuations of the interest rates to which the liabilities and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries are linked.

To minimize possible impacts from interest rate volatility, the Company and its subsidiaries adopted a policy of diversification, alternating between contracting fixed and variable rates (such as LIBOR and CDI), and periodically renegotiating
contracts, in order to adapt them to current market conditions.

iv Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility of the Company and its subsidiaries not recovering amounts receivable from services provided to consumers and/or travel agencies, or from credits held by financial institutions generated by financial
investment operations.

To reduce this risk the Company has adopted the practice of establishing credit limits and permanently monitoring its debtor balance (mainly from travel agencies). With respect to financial investments, the Company only invests with institutions
with low credit risk as evaluated by rating agencies. In addition, each institution has a maximum limit for investments, as determined by the Company's Risk Committee.

(b) Financial investments

Represented by funds applied in quotas of various types of investment funds and/or in multimarket investment funds with the objective of obtaining an interest yield in excess of the Brazilian interbank interest rate  also known as CDI.

(c) Investments

TLA, Mercosur, TAM Capital, TAM Financial 1, TAM Financial 2 and TP Participações are non-public companies and, therefore, there is no information readily available to evaluate their fair market values.

(d)Fair market value of financial instruments

The estimated fair market value of financial instruments as of December 31, 2007 is similar to their book value, as a result of the maturities or the frequent adjustments to the prices of these instruments, as follows:

27 TAM Loyalty Program

At December 31, 2007, the TAM Loyalty Program had 2,400,632 (2006  1,782,397) (unaudited) one-way domestic tickets earned by its clients but not redeemed. TLA currently records the incremental costs when awards are earned. For the year ended
December 31, 2007, 1,090,734 (2006  756,040) free tickets were granted and used by our clients. The provision for incremental costs of points earned under the Loyalty Program at December 31, 2007 was approximately R$ 20,614 (2006 - R$ 19,039).
The base to calculate the incremental costs accrual is an estimative of the ticket redemptions by other airlines companies, quantity of points accumulated, tickets redeemed, estimation for expired points, non-redeemed accumulated points and valued
by the incremental costs of in-flight service, fuel, insurance and boarding pass.

The points earned by our clients through the TAM Loyalty Program are valid for two years for the redemption in tickets. This limit any growth in the liability from the program, which has tended to stabilize in relation to the number of passengers
transported.

28Subsequent events

(a)Changes to the Brazilian Corporate Law in 2008

On December 28, 2007, Law 11,638/07 was enacted, which amends the Brazilian Corporate Law, regarding accounting practices, bookkeeping and preparation of financial statements from the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. A summary of the main
matters contemplated by the new law and which may influence next years financial statements is as follows:

- Substitution of the Statement of Changes in Financial Position for the Statement of Cash Flow and the inclusion of the Value-Added Statement along with the financial statements.
- In permanent assets: (i) the creation of the subgroup Intangible; (ii) restriction to the use of deferred charges to pre- operating expenses and incremental restructuring expenses; (iii) separation in intangible assets of intangible rights,
including acquired goodwill; and (iv) inclusion in property, plant and equipment of assets deriving from operations that transfer to the company benefits, risks, the control over these assets, regardless of transfer of ownership.
- Creation in shareholders equity of the subgroup Valuation Adjustments, which will be used mainly to record the counter entry of asset appraisals at market value, especially the appraisal of certain financial instruments and, also,
the adjustments of conversion due to exchange rate variation of corporate investments overseas.

Table of Contents

- Introduction of new criteria for the classification and appraisal of investments in financial instruments, including derivatives, and in credit rights and notes, in line with the international standard, where these financial investments are
classified in three categories: held for trading, available for sale and kept to maturity, the first two being recorded at their market value and the latter at cost plus yields earned.
- Introduction of the concept of Adjustment to Present Value for operations with long-term assets and liabilities and material short-term operations. It is worth mentioning that CVM has already sent a notice to the market stating its
understanding that the application of this concept for publicly-held companies regulated by it depends on the issuance of specific rules or express reference in some other rule, defining its scope and establishing the necessary bases for its
utilization, which shall be made in compliance with international standards.
- Law 11,638/07 also makes it mandatory for companies to perform an analysis periodically to verify the recoverability of amounts recorded as property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and deferred charges. Regarding this matter, in 2007 the
Committee of Accounting Pronouncement issued CPC Pronouncement 01, which is in line with international accounting standards. CVM issued Resolution 527/07 approving this Pronouncement.
- Elimination of the possibility to revalue property, plant and equipment. The new law provided an alternative to the companies in order for them to maintain their existing balances for this reserve, which shall be realized in accordance with current
rules or to reverse these balances up to the end of 2008.
- Elimination of the Capital Reserve Premium on the Issuance of Debentures.
- The accounting record of employee and management remuneration becomes mandatory, even when remuneration is made in the form of financial instruments, such as shares or stock options.
- Changes to the commercial and fiscal bookkeeping, providing alternatives to companies, regarding the possibility to adopt the provisions of the tax law in the commercial bookkeeping, to later perform the necessary adjustments to comply with the
corporate law.

Taking into account the extent and complexity of the changes resulting from the aforementioned Law, management is assessing its impacts on the Company, at the same time that it is monitoring market discussions and debates, particularly in accounting
bodies and associations and with regulatory bodies, which will possibly express their opinions on aspects regarding the application of the Law.

(b) Share Buy-Back

As part of its financial management practices, the Company adopted a share buy-back policy, without compromising the investment program or substituting the payment of dividends.

At a meeting held on January 30, 2008, its Board of Directors of TAM approved the acquisition of preferred shares issued by the Company to be held in treasury and subsequently cancelled or sold, without reducing the capital.

The buy-back program is limited to up to 4,000,000 (four million) preferred shares, equivalent to 5.56% of the outstanding shares. The program will expire within 365 days from the approval date by the Board of Directors. The shares will be purchased
at their market prices on the stock exchange at the acquisition date.

29 Summary of the Principal Differences between Brazilian GAAP and U.S. GAAP

(a)Description of the GAAP differences

The accounting practices of the Company are in accordance with Brazilian GAAP (Note 2) which differ significantly from U.S. GAAP, as summarized below.

(b) Supplementary inflation restatement in 1996 and 1997 for U.S. GAAP

Brazilian GAAP discontinued inflation accounting effective January 1, 1996, Brazilian GAAP statements included indexation adjustments which partially accounted for the effects of inflation on property, plant and equipment, investments, deferred
charges (together, denominated Permanent assets) and stockholders' equity, and reported the net charge or credit in the statement of operations. However, under U.S. GAAP, Brazil ceased to be treated as a highly inflationary economy only from January
1, 1998. Therefore the financial information for purposes of U.S. GAAP includes additional inflation restatement adjustments in 1996 and 1997, made by applying the General Price Index - Internal Availability (IGP-DI) to the
Companys permanent assets and stockholders' equity. The IGP-DI index increased by 9.3% in 1996 and by 7.5% in 1997.

For purposes of the reconciliation, there is no longer a difference in stockholders equity according to U.S. GAAP in 2007 (2006 - R$68), due to the additional inflation restatement adjustments, net of depreciation. These amounts generated
differences in depreciation charges of R$ 68 for the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006 - R$ 88 and 2005  R$ 102).

(c) Property, plant and equipment

i. Revaluation of property, plant and equipment

Brazilian GAAP permits the revaluation of assets. The revaluation increment, net of deferred tax effects after 1991, is credited to a reserve account in stockholders' equity. Depreciation of the revaluation increments is charged to income and an
offsetting amount is transferred from the revaluation reserve in stockholders' equity to retained earnings as the related assets are depreciated or upon disposal.

Under U.S. GAAP, revaluation of property, plant and equipment is not accepted and the revaluation increments and related deferred tax effects have therefore been eliminated in order to present property, plant and equipment at historical cost less
accumulated depreciation. Accordingly, the depreciation expense on revaluation has also been reversed in the statement of operations.

For the purposes of the reconciliation, under U.S. GAAP the revaluation reserve was reversed, net of depreciation and deferred tax effects, totaling R$ 135,134 at December 31, 2007 (2006 - R$ 147,874).

In the statement of operations, these effects totaled R$ 3,665 for the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006 - R$ 4,246 and 2005  R$ 3,852).

ii. Lease agreements

Brazilian GAAP does not have a specific requirement on accounting for leases and TAM recognizes as financial leases only contracts where the lessee has a bargain purchase option for the asset. All other leases are treated as operating leases.

Under U.S. GAAP, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") n° 13 "Accounting for Leases" defines financial leases as those leases that meet at least one of the following criteria:

- The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease;
- The lease contains a bargain purchase option, for price below market value;

Table of Contents

- The lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased asset; and
- The present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon,
equals or exceeds 90 percent of the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease.

Additionally, on renegotiation of lease terms, regardless as to whether the lessor is changed, the new lease is maintained as a financing lease by the lessee if, under the amended lease terms, the lease would have been classified a finance lease
either initially or at the renegotiation date.

At December 31, 2007, TAM had 44 aircraft recorded as operating leases under Brazilian GAAP (Airbus A319  9 units, Airbus A320  19 units; Airbus A330  10 units, Airbus A321- 3 units, Airbus A340  2 units and Fokker 100 
1 unit), which, considering the rule set out above, were considered as financing leases under U.S. GAAP because the present values of the minimum payments of these contracts exceed 90% of the fair value of the asset leased.

Under U.S. GAAP, the acquisition cost of these aircraft and the related liability at the inception of the lease contract, totaling, at December 31, 2007, R$ 4,566,069, has been recorded in the balance sheet, while accumulated depreciation at
December 31, 2007 amounts to R$ 743,300. The asset is being depreciated over the estimated useful life of 25 years for the aircraft Airbus A319, Airbus A320 and Fokker 100 and 30 years for the aircraft Airbus A330 and A340.The obligations are
recorded in short and long-term liabilities, including accrued interest and foreign exchange gains or losses. Depreciation expense on these aircraft recognized in the U.S. GAAP financial statements totaled R$ 173,127, R$133,942 and R$ 127,810, for
the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Foreign exchange gains (losses) on financial lease payables totaled R$ 417,444, R$ 226,879 and R$ 329,638 for the year ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest
expenses on the financial lease obligation of these aircraft totaled R$ 132,626, R$ 151,928 and R$ 139,876, for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The operating lease expenses recognized under Brazilian GAAP for these
aircraft were reversed during all periods and totaled R$ 385,602, R$ 337,774 and R$ 327,543 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The residual values of aircraft returned have been written off upon return and totaled R$
4,023 and R$ 4,499 at December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively.

For reconciliation purposes, the amounts of leases adjusted against stockholders' equity totaled R$ 1,102,745 at December 31, 2007 (2006  R$ 605,454)

Considering the aforementioned adjustments, the lease obligations under U.S. GAAP totaled:

iii. Impairment

Under Brazilian GAAP, companies are required to determine if operating income is sufficient to absorb the depreciation or amortization of long-lived assets in order to assess potential asset impairment. In the event such operating income is
insufficient to recover the depreciation, the assets, or groups of assets, are written-down to recoverable values, preferably based on the projected discounted cash flows of future operations. In the event of a planned substitution of assets prior
to the end of the original estimated useful life of the asset, depreciation of such asset is accelerated to ensure the asset is depreciated according to estimated net realizable value at the estimated date of substitution.

Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS n° 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, requires companies to evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, and for long-lived assets to be disposed of,
when events and circumstances require such a review. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow, representing the lowest level for which identifiable cash flow is less than their
carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the assets or discounted cash flows generated by the assets.

In the case of TAM, there were no impairment indicators and, therefore, no differences between U.S. GAAP and Brazilian GAAP related to impairment provision criteria were recorded for the periods presented.

iv. Gains on sale-leaseback

Brazilian GAAP does not have specific requirements on sale-leaseback transactions. All gains or losses arising from sale-leaseback transactions were recognized at the time of the transaction.

Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS n° 28, "Accounting for Sales with Leaseback", establishes a sale-leaseback as a single financing transaction in which any profit or loss on the sale shall be deferred and amortized by the seller, who becomes the lease, in
proportion to rental payments over the period of time the asset is expected to be used. This is obligatory even where the sale-leaseback transaction is considered legally perfect in the companys country of origin.

The amortization of gains on sale-leaseback transactions appropriated in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, as Financial income (expenses), net totaled R$ 17,151 (2006 - R$ 18,941 and 2005 - R$ 24,895),

and as Other operating expenses, net totaled R$ 14,934 (2006 - R$ 14,893 and 2005 - R$ 14,864).

For reconciliation of gains on sale-leaseback purposes, the effects in stockholders equity at December 31, 2007 totaled R$ 179,526 (2006  R$ 211,611).

(i) In August 2001, TAM entered into an agreement which resulted in the termination of a financial lease for three Airbus A330 aircraft with one lessor and a new lease agreement, under operating lease provisions, with a different lessor for the same
aircraft. For Brazilian GAAP purposes, TAM recognized a net gain of R$ 319,073 during 2001. This gain is being amortized over the period of the new lease contract, of which final liquidation is planned to be in August 2013.

(ii) In April 2003, TAM entered into an agreement which resulted in the termination of a financial lease agreement for four Airbus A320 aircraft with one lessor and a new lease agreement, under operating lease provisions, with a different lessor for
the same aircraft. For Brazilian GAAP purposes, TAM did not recognize any gain, as this contract had already been recorded as an operating lease. Under U.S. GAAP, this transaction generated a deferred gain of R$ 54,957, as this contract was
registered as a financial lease. This gain is being amortized in accordance with the operating lease contract, of which final liquidation is estimated to be in March 2013.

(iii) Also, in December 2003, TAM reorganized its fleet of 19 Fokker 100 (Note 14), which resulted in the cancellation of 10 financial lease agreements and 9 operating lease agreements generating new operating lease agreements. For Brazilian GAAP
purposes, TAM recognized a gain of R$ 76,815, which was recorded in the results for 2003. Under U.S. GAAP, this gain is being amortized in accordance with the aircraft return schedule, originally estimated to be completed in July 2005. In January
2005, an amendment was signed, postponing the return date of the last five aircraft until April 2006. In November 2006, another amendment to the contract was signed extending the timeframe for the return of the last 3 aircraft until May 2007. The
gain has been amortized through December 2006, because the impact of amortization through May 2007 is not relevant.

The transactions summarized above were considered to be a modification of the provisions of the original contract under U.S. GAAP.

According to recently issued SFAS n° 145 "Rescission of FASB Statements n° 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement n° 13 and Technical Corrections", if the change in the lease provisions gives rise to a new agreement classified as
an operating lease, the transaction shall be accounted for under the sale-leaseback requirements in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3 of SFAS n° 28, mentioned above.

v. Sub-leasing of aircraft

The Company sub-leased three Airbus A330 aircraft and one engine under operating leases to another airline company. The contract matured in November 2006 and the aircrafts and engines were returned.

(d)  Deferred charges

Brazilian GAAP permits deferral of leasehold improvements.

Under U.S.GAAP, amounts related to leasehold improvements should be treated as additions to property, plant and equipment and reclassified for balance sheet disclosure purposes. As from the second quarter of 2006 such improvements were reclassified
in the Brazilian GAAP financials to Property, plant & equipment and therefore the adjustment is no longer applicable.

(e) Business combinations

i. Goodwill

Under Brazilian GAAP, goodwill arises from the difference between the amount paid and the book value of the net assets acquired. This goodwill is normally attributed to the market value of assets acquired or justified based on expectation of future
profitability and is amortized over the remaining useful lives of the assets or up to 10 years. Negative goodwill arises under Brazilian GAAP when the book value of assets acquired exceeds the purchase consideration; negative goodwill is not
generally amortized.

Under U.S. GAAP, fair values are assigned to acquired assets and liabilities in business combinations, including intangible assets and unallocated goodwill, applicable to each specific transaction. Upon the adoption of SFAS n° 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as from January 1, 2002 goodwill is no longer amortized but, instead, is assigned to an entity's reporting units and tested for impairment at least annually. Additionally, according to U.S. GAAP,
goodwill generated in transactions between entities under common control should not be recorded but, instead, the difference between amounts paid and book values of net assets acquired should be recorded as a capital contribution or distribution.

The differences related to the Brazilian GAAP applicable to TAM derive mainly from (i) non-amortization of goodwill as from January 1, 2002 and (ii) non-recognition of negative goodwill arising from transactions of companies under common control,
(Note 29 (e) (ii) below).

For Brazilian GAAP purposes, the amortization of the net balance of goodwill in 2007 was R$ 717 (2006 - R$ 717), being amortized to income over a period of five to 10 years; negative goodwill at December 31, 2007 was R$ 11,099 (2006 - R$ 11,099).

For reconciliation purposes, amortization of goodwill as from January 1, 2003 was reversed, totaling R$ 717 in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006 - R$ 717 and 2005  R$ 1,341), respectively. In
stockholders equity, for reconciliation purposes these effects totaled R$ 9,680 at December 31, 2007 (2006  R$ 8,963).

For U.S. GAAP purposes, the net balance of goodwill at December 31, 2007 is R$ 9,680 (2006 - R$ 9,680).

ii. Common control and negative goodwill  Mercosur

For Brazilian GAAP purposes, TAM Mercosur was acquired and consolidated by the Company in September 2003 through an exchange of shares.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, Mercosur has been considered under common control since 1996, because Mercosur has the same controlling stockholders as TAM and, therefore, it was consolidated retroactively for all periods presented. The effects of the
retroactive consolidation in the changes in stockholders equity have been recorded as additional paid-in capital.

Additionally, in this transaction, the negative goodwill for Brazilian GAAP purposes was generated by the difference between book value and the amount paid in the transaction for the acquisition of Mercosur. As this transaction was considered to be
between entities under common control, for U.S. GAAP purposes the difference between the amount paid and the book value of Mercosur was recognized in stockholders equity as a capital contribution.

Also, for Brazilian GAAP purposes, the effects of the exchange variation on this subsidiarys stockholders equity are distributed among the lines of the statement of operations. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the effect of this exchange
variation was recognized in stockholders equity in cumulative translation adjustments, in accordance with SFAS n° 52, Foreign Currency Translation.

For reconciliation purposes, the effects described above totaled R$ 3,537 for the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006 - R$ (5,183), 2005  R$ 8,870), respectively and R$ 11,828 in stockholders equity at December 31, 2007 (2006  R$
11,828).

(f)Pension and other post-retirement benefits

In determining the pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations for Brazilian GAAP purposes, NPC No. 26 is effective for financial statements ended from December 31, 2002. As permitted by the Standard, the transitional effect (being the
difference between the plan net assets and the projected benefit obligation ("PBO")) at that date will be taken to income over five years.

Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions", is effective for fiscal years beginning after 1988. As from such date, when an initial transition obligation determined based on an actuarial valuation was booked, actuarial gains
and losses, as well as unexpected variations in plan assets and the PBO and the effects of amendments, settlements and other events, have been recognized in accordance with this standard and therefore results in deferral differences, Until 1997,
these amounts were treated as non-monetary items and indexed by the inflation U.S. GAAP also requires the recognition of an additional minimum liability.

Although the calculation of the sufficiency of the funded status has been the same since December 31, 2001, differences arise in (i) actuarial gains and losses, as initially there is no gain or actuarial loss on December 31, 2001 (ii) recognition of
the initial transition obligation and (iii) minimum liability, according to U.S. GAAP.

On November 21, 2006, the Supplementary Pension Plan Secretariat (the SPC) approved the proposal to migrate participants from the TAM Prev I, II and III to a PGBL, a defined contribution plan. During 2006 43 employers accepted the
migration, therefore they had the recognition of "settlement", and there were still 5 participants which have not transferred into the PGBL. As the migration of the employees to PGBL represents an irrevocable action, relieving the Company of primary
responsibility for the pension obligation and eliminated risks related to the obligation and assets of the plan, the participants transferred have been accounted in accordance with SFAS No. 88, "Employers Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits". The settlement for the remaining 5 participants was reached on September 30, 2007 (Note 24(a)).

The summary of sufficiency of funds and amounts recorded in the U.S. GAAP condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the condensed statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 of the TAM pension
liabilities to retired beneficiaries, in accordance with SFAS no. 132 Employers Disclosures For Pensions and Post-Retirement Benefits  revised, is as follows:

(g)Derivative instruments

Under Brazilian GAAP, the Company recorded through December 31, 2006 its financial instruments based on contractual rates, recognized on the accrual basis of accounting. As from January 1, 2007, as discussed in Note 26, the Company changed its
criteria for recognizing financial instruments under Brazilian GAAP to fair value market in a manner similar to U.S. GAAP. For purposes of comparison, the Company restated its Brazilian GAAP financial statements of previous periods presented herein.

Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS n° 133, as amended and interpreted, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", requires that the Company recognizes all derivatives as assets or liabilities and measures these instruments at fair
market value. Changes in market value are included in the Companys results of operations. No derivative financial instruments of the Company qualified as hedges.

Through December 31, 2006, for purposes of reconciliation, TAM had recorded an adjustment to reflect the fair market value of derivative instruments under U.S. GAAP. As from January 1, 2007, TAM changed its criteria for recognizing financial
instruments under Brazilian GAAP to fair value market in a manner similar to U.S.GAAP, and consequently the GAAP difference is no longer applicable. In addition, as the Company adjusted its Brazilian GAAP for all previous periods presented herein to
reflect the fair market value of derivative instruments, and accordingly adjustment is no longer required for purposes of reconciliation for all periods presented.

(h)Loyalty Program  Incremental cost

The Company sponsors a program of rewards to frequent flyers (Loyalty Program TAM), whose points are accumulated when they use TAMs flights or flights of partner airlines, as well as when they make purchases using the Loyalty Program TAM
credit cards, or use products and services at partner establishments.

Up to December 31, 2005, such amounts were described in a note to the financial statements and recorded as incurred. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006 the Company changed its accounting practice under Brazilian GAAP and began to accrue a
provision for future liabilities relating to the Loyalty Program. For comparison purposes, the Brazilian GAAP financial statements referring to the year ended December 31, 2005 have been adjusted (Note 20 (h)). Due to the change in the Brazilian
GAAP accounting practice, adjustment is no longer required for purposes of reconciliation for all periods presented.

(i) Recognition of revenue  Revenue in the Loyalty Program Partners

Under Brazilian GAAP, revenues related to partnership with the Loyalty Program for frequent flyers are recorded when the points are issued to participants.

Under U.S. GAAP, as from 2005, the Company is recognizing revenue earned from selling points in two components. The first component represents the revenue for air transportation sold, valued at current market rate. This revenue is being deferred and
recognized over the period the points are expected to be used. The second revenue component represents the services deemed to have been provided associated with operating the program, which is being recognized when the points are sold.

For purposes of reconciliation, the Company deferred revenues in the amount of R$19,862 in the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006 - R$15,013, and 2005  R$15,185). The effect on stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2007 was R$ 50,060 (2006
 R$30,198).

(j)Stock options plan

SFAS Statement 123(R) Share Based Payments, requires the measuring and recording of the cost of employee services in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions).
Awards granted with other than market conditions shall be classified as liabilities. That cost will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide the service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is
recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. SFAS n° 123R requires entities to initially measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its
current fair value. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period. The grant date fair value and the fair value of each reporting period of employee share options are estimated
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. SFAS n° 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. As described in further details below, the Company has granted options
to certain employees to purchase stock at prices below market. The market value of the options granted will be recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes as expense over the period in which the services are rendered. The fair value of the options classified
as liability award will be reassessed each reporting date. Under Brazilian GAAP the stock options do not generate any expense and are recorded as a capital increase only when exercised, in the amount of the exercise price paid.

At the Extraordinary Stockholders' Meeting held on May 16, 2005, the stockholders approved that a maximum of up to 2% of outstanding shares, or 3,011,703 shares, could be used for share options to be granted to employees by the Board of Directors.

Changes are summarized as follows:

Under the terms of the Plan, the options granted are divided into three equal amounts and employees may exercise one third of their options after three, four and five years, respectively, if still employed by the Company at that time. The options
have a contractual term of 7 years.

The options contain a service condition as vesting and exercisability of the options depending only on the rendering of a defined period of services by the employee. The dismissed employees have the obligation to satisfy conditions in
order to maintain their options right. At each reporting period the fair value of the options granted are remeasured as well as the compensation cost and recognized for the options awarded.

Stock options were granted initially with an exercise price of R$ 14.40, R$ 43.48, R$ 38.36 and R$ 39.67, per share, for the for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd grant and special grant. The exercise price is adjusted by the IGPM
(General Price Index), from the award date up to the date of the financial statements.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company accounts for the Plan in accordance with FASB Statement n° 123(R) Share Based Payments. Accordingly, as the options are classified as liability awards, compensation cost has been recognized based on the
fair value of the options at each reporting date. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the stock options granted was R$ 32.45, R$ 20.72, R$ 24.98 and R$ 14.74, respectively, for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd grant and special grant per share resulting in a total fair value
of options granted of R$ 22,688, R$ 4,850, R$ 19,396 and R$ 3,390 for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and special grant.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Company recorded expenses of R$ 7,786 for the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006 - R$ 10,168), with a corresponding credit to liabilities. This adjustment has no impact for purposes of deferred income tax and social
contribution

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially
affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

(k) Maintenance

Under Brazilian GAAP, through December 31, 2005 the Company recorded maintenance expenses as incurred. As from January 1, 2006, in accordance with Technical Interpretation of Ibracon 01/2006, the Company changed its accounting policy under Brazilian
GAAP to the built-in overhaul method for owned engines and engines under capital lease arrangements. In aircraft under operating lease, the Company continues to expense maintenance as incurred.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company records maintenance expenses as incurred.

For reconciliation purposes, the Company reversed the effects caused by the change in accounting policy under Brazilian GAAP in 2006. Accordingly, capitalized maintenance costs amounting to R$ 15,445 and the depreciation expenses recorded amounting
to R$ 6,752 was reversed from stockholders equity at December 31, 2006.

For reconciliation purposes, the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 reversed depreciation expenses amounted to R$ (3,896) (2006  R$ 6,752). The accumulated effect on stockholders ́ equity at December 31, 2007 amounted to R$
(12,588) (2006  R$ (8,693)).

(l) Earnings per share

Under Brazilian GAAP, net income (loss) per share is calculated on the number of shares outstanding at the balance sheet date. Information is disclosed per lot of one thousand shares because, generally, this is the minimum number of shares that can
be traded on the Brazilian stock exchanges. The 10% premium to which preferred stockholders were entitled until May 16, 2005 on distributed earnings is not allocated in calculating EPS under Brazilian GAAP.

Under U.S. GAAP, since the preferred and common stockholders have different voting and liquidation rights, basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the "two-class" method, pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which
provides computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share.

The "two-class" method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for preferred and common stock according to the dividends to be paid as required by the Company's by-laws and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common and preferred shares outstanding during the period, including up to May 16, 2005 the 10% premium allocated to preferred stockholders.
Earnings may be capitalized, used to absorb losses or otherwise appropriated; consequently, such earnings would no longer be available to be paid as dividends. Therefore, no assurance can be given that preferred stockholders will receive distributed
earnings.

As from May 16, 2005 the preferred shares receive the same dividends as common shares and no longer have the previous preferred share right to a dividend 10% higher than that distributed to common stockholders. In compensation current preferred
shares have the right to vote in stockholders' meetings on limited matters and the right to receive the same price paid to common stockholders in the event of transfer of the Company's control. The earnings per share information for the year ended
December 31, 2005 reflects a proportionate profit allocation based on the period the previous preferred shares were in existence and the balance of the profits are allocated to the current preferred shares:

(m) Comprehensive income

Under Brazilian GAAP, the concept of comprehensive income is not recognized.

Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS n° 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", requires the disclosure of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income/loss and "other comprehensive income" that include charges or credits directly to
equity which are not the result of transactions with owners. In the case of TAM, components of comprehensive income are its net income or loss, changes in additional minimum pension liability (SFAS n° 158) and cumulative translation adjustments
(Note 29 (q) (iii)).

(n) Deferred income tax and social contribution

Under Brazilian GAAP, deferred income tax recorded in assets represents the estimated amount to be recovered.

Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxes on all temporary tax differences are accrued. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or long term, according to the classification of the asset or liability that originates the temporary
difference. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the same tax jurisdiction are offset and are not presented at the net value.

In addition, for the purpose of reconciliation to U.S. GAAP, the benefits (expenses) of income tax related to U.S. GAAP adjustments were recognized.

Together, these adjustments amounted to R$ (165,053) for the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006 - R$ (105,879) and 2005  R$ (140,874)), respectively in the statements of operations. The aggregate net deferred tax asset reflected in the
stockholders' equity at December 31, 2007 was R$ (294,306) (2006  R$ (129,253)). The valuation allowance was primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, will more likely than not be realized. In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation n° 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax
position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties.

As a result of the adoption of this interpretation, there has been no impact on the Companys financials statements. The company has no unrecognized tax benefit.

The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Companys income tax returns, tax and accounting records are subject to review by tax authorities from 2003 through 2007.

(p) Classification of statement of operations line items

Under Brazilian GAAP, the classification of certain income and expense items is presented differently from U.S. GAAP. The consolidated statement of operations under Brazilian GAAP has therefore been reclassified to present a condensed consolidated
statement of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP (Note 29 (r)). The reclassifications, other than those disclosed above, are summarized as follows:

- Interest income and expense and other financial charges reported within operating income in the statement of operations presented under Brazilian GAAP have been reclassified to non-operating income (expenses) in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
- Under Brazilian GAAP, gains and losses on the disposal of property, plant and equipment and investments or impairment of fixed assets are classified as non-operating income (expense) while under U.S. GAAP they are classified as an adjustment to
operating income.
- The net income (loss) differences between Brazilian GAAP and U.S. GAAP, as detailed in the reconciliation (Note 29 (q) (i)), were incorporated in the statement of operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
- Cost of services rendered and operating income (expenses) under U.S. GAAP have been presented by type of expense, following disclosure standards used by the airline industry.

(q) Classification of balance sheet line items

Under Brazilian GAAP, the classification of certain balance sheet items is presented differently from U.S. GAAP. The Company recast the consolidated balance sheet prepared in accordance with BR GAAP to present a condensed consolidated balance sheet
in accordance with U.S. GAAP (Note 29 (r)). The reclassifications, other than those disclosed above, are summarized as follows:

- Under BR GAAP, according to Normas e Procedimentos de Contabilidade n° 20 - "Demonstração dos Fluxos de Caixa" cash and cash equivalents consist principally of highly liquid cash deposits and marketable securities, but there is no
requirement that there is insignificant potential changes in value because of interest rate changes nor is there a maximum 90 day original period to maturity.
- Under U.S. GAAP, the Company's funds are considered to be subject to potential change in value due to changes in interest rates or have underlying securities with original maturities greater than 90 days. Therefore, under U.S. GAAP, such
multi-market funds were classified under marketable securities (trading) in the balance sheet.
- Under U.S. GAAP, certain deferred charges, which are not pre-operating expenses, were reclassified to property, plant and equipment, according to their nature.
- Under BR GAAP, deferred income taxes are not netted and assets are presented separately from liabilities. For U.S. GAAP purposes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted and classified as current or non-current based on the classification of
the underlying temporary difference.

The cost of the public offering under U.S. GAAP was reclassified to Capital in the stockholders equity for the year ended December 31, 2006 in the amount of R$ 8,444 (2005  R$ 19,465).

(s) Business segments

Under BR GAAP, no separate segment reporting is required.

Under U.S. GAAP, SFAS 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information defines operating segments as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly for
assessing segment performance and allocating resources to segments. Measures of profit or loss, total assets and other related information are required to be disclosed for each operating segment. In addition, this standard requires the annual
disclosure of information concerning revenues derived from the enterprises products or services, countries in which revenues or assets are generated and major customers.

SFAS 131 requires that segment data be presented in the U.S. GAAP financial statements in accordance with the internal information that is used by management for operating decision making, including allocation of resources among segments, and
segment performance. This information results from the statutory accounting records kept under BR GAAP. The Company considers that it has only one reportable segment.

(t) Additional disclosure  Advertising and publicity expenses

Advertising and publicity expenses totaled R$ 67,114 for the year ended December 31, 2007 (2006  R$ 46,495 and 2005  R$ 58,705), and are classified as selling and marketing expenses.

(u) Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurement, which clarifies and sets up a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurement. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
that the application of this new standard will have on its financial statements, as of January 1, 2008.

In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" including an amendment of SFAS 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", which permits the Company to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the application of this new standard will have on its financial statements, as of January 1, 2008.

As of December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R Business Combinations, revised which replaces SFAS 141, Commercial Combination. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the purchase
method is used for all business combinations. This Statement applies to all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period starting as of or after December 15, 2008. The effective date of this
Statement is the same as that of SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB 51, which states that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest
in the consolidated entity which shall be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.. This Statement shall be
applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all
periods presented.
