(In thousands of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

1 Operations

Gafisa S.A. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") started its operations in 1997 with the objectives of: (a) promoting and managing all forms of real estate ventures on its own behalf or for third parties; (b) purchasing, selling and negotiating real estate properties in general, including provision of financing to real estate clients; (c) carrying out civil construction and civil engineering services; (d) developing and implementing marketing strategies related to its own or third party real estate ventures; and (e) investing in other Brazilian or foreign companies which have similar objectives as the Company's.

The Company forms jointly-controlled ventures (Special Purpose Entities - SPEs) and participates in consortia and condominiums with third parties as a means of meeting its objectives. The controlled entities share the structure and corporate, managerial and operating costs with the Company.

On September 1, 2008, the Company and Construtora Tenda S.A. ("Tenda") merged Tenda and Fit Residencial Empreendimentos Imobiliários Ltda. (“Fit Residencial”), by means of a Merger Protocol and Justification. On October 3, 2008, this Merger Protocol and Justification was approved by Gafisa’s Board of Directors, as well as the first Amendment to the Protocol. Upon exchange of Fit Residencial quotas for Tenda shares, the Company received 240,391,470 common shares, representing 60% of total and voting capital of Tenda after the merger of Fit Residencial, in exchange for 76,757,357 quotas of Fit Residencial. The Tenda shares received by the Company in exchange for Fit Residencial quotas will have the same rights, attributed on the date of the merger of the shares by the Company, and will receive all benefits, including dividends and distributions of capital that may be declared by Tenda as from the merger approval date. On October 21, 2008, the merger of Fit Residencial into Tenda was approved at an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting by the Company’s shareholders (Note 8).

On February 27, 2009, Gafisa and Odebrecht Empreendimentos Imobiliários S.A. announced an agreement for the dissolution of their partnership in Bairro Novo Empreendimentos Imobiliários S.A., terminating the Shareholders’ Agreement in effect between the partners.

(i) Cash equivalents

The Company classifies highly-liquid short-term investments which are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value as Cash equivalents, pursuant to CPC No. 03, "Statement of Cash Flows".

(ii) Investments

The Company considered the effects of equity in results and minority interest in the adjustments related to the initial adoption of the Law in the financial statements.

(iii) Financial instruments and fair value

Pursuant to CPC No. 14, "Financial Instruments: Recognition, Measurement and Evidence", financial instruments are classified among four categories: (i) financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value through income, (ii) held to maturity, (iii) loans and receivables, and (iv) available for sale. The classification depends upon the purpose for which the financial assets and liabilities were acquired. Management classifies its financial assets and liabilities when initially recognized.

At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company elected to apply the fair value option to certain financial assets (swap contracts) and liabilities (foreign currency liabilities), recording these at fair value through income, thereby mitigating volatility from inconsistent measurement basis.

For financial assets without an active market or market listing, the Company measures the fair value by applying valuation techniques. These techniques include the use of recent transactions with third parties, benchmarking against other instruments that are substantially similar, analysis of discounted cash flows and option pricing models, always maximizing sources of information provided by the market and minimizing management sourced data. The Company evaluates if there is objective evidence of asset impairment at the balance sheet date, indicating that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is recorded at an amount which exceeds its recoverable amount.

(iv) Debenture and share issuance expenses

As per CPC No. 08, "Transaction Costs and Premiums on Issuance of Securities", share issuance expenses are accounted for as a direct reduction of capital raised. Transaction costs and premiums on issuance of debt securities are amortized over the terms of the security and the balance is presented net of issuance expenses.

- 24 -


(v) Stock options

As approved by its Board of Directors, the Company offers to its selected executives share-based compensation plans ("Stock Options").

CPC No. 10, "Share-based Compensation" requires that the options, calculated at the grant date, be recognized as an expense against shareholders' equity, over the period the services are rendered through the vesting date.

(vi) Deferred charges

As required by CPC No. 13, "Initial Adoption of Law 11,638/07 and MP No. 449/08”, deferred pre-operating expenses were written off to retained earnings at the transition date (January 1, 2006 in the case of the Company). Additionally, the amortization recorded as expenses in results for the quarter were reversed and the additions prior to the initial adoption of the Law 11,638/07 (the ’Law”) were written off to retained earnings.

(vii) Adjustment to present value of assets and liabilities

In conformity with CPC No. 12, "Adjustment to Present Value", the assets and liabilities arising from long-term transactions were adjusted to present value.

As specified by CPC Interpretation ("CPC (O)") No. 01, "Real Estate Development Entities", for inflation-indexed receivables arising from installment sales of unfinished units, the receivables formed prior to delivery of the units which, do not accrue interest, were discounted to present value. The present value adjustment is accreted to Net operating revenue as the Company finances its clients through delivery of the units. The present value reversal recognized in the Real estate development revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were R$ (1,271) and R$ 6,804 (parent company), and R$ 1,798 and R$ 8,231 (consolidated), respectively.

As interest from loans used to finance the acquisition of land for development and construction is capitalized, the accretion of the present value adjustment arising from the obligation is recorded in Real estate development operating costs or against inventories of Properties for sale, as the case may be, until the construction phase of the venture is completed. The present value adjustments accreted to Real estate development operating costs for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were R$ (2,252) and R$ 847 of income (parent company), and R$ (2,775) and R$ (881) (consolidated), respectively.

(viii) Warranty provision

Consistent with CPC (O) No. 01, “Real Estate Development Entities”, the Company records a provision for warranties, unless a third party provides warranties for the services rendered during construction. The warranty term is five years from the delivery of the unit.

- 25 -


(ix) Barter transactions

As per CPC (O) No. 01, “Real Estate Development Entities”, for barter transactions of land in exchange for units, the value of land acquired by the Company is calculated based on the fair value of real estate units to be delivered, and recorded in inventories of Properties for sale against liabilities for Advances from clients, at the time the barter agreement is signed. The percentage-of-completion criteria adopted for appropriation of income is also applied to these transactions.

(x) Sales stands, facilities, model apartments and related furnishings

As per CPC (O) No. 01, “Real Estate Development Entities”, expenditures incurred for the construction of sales stands, facilities, model apartments and related furnishings are capitalized as Property and equipment. Depreciation commences upon launch of the development and is recorded over the average term of one year, and subject to periodical analysis of asset impairment.

(xi) Tax effects and Transitory Tax Regime (“RTT”)

The income tax and social contribution effects arising from the initial adoption of the Law and MP No. 449/08 were recorded based on the pre-existing tax regulations.

Gafisa S.A. and its subsidiaries’ elections to follow the provisions of the RTT, as provided for by MP No. 449/08, will be declared in the corporate income tax returns (DIPJ) for 2009.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of quarterly information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the quarterly information and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The quarterly information includes estimates that are used to determine certain items, including, among others, the estimated costs of the ventures, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty provision, provisions necessary for the non-recovery of assets, the provision for credits not recognized related to deferred tax, and the recognition of contingent liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

(c) Consolidation principles

The consolidated quarterly information includes the accounts of Gafisa S.A. and those of all of its subsidiaries (Note 8), with separate disclosure of the participation of minority shareholders. The proportional consolidation method is used for investments in jointly-controlled investees, which are all governed by shareholder agreements; as a consequence, assets, liabilities, revenues and costs are consolidated based on the proportion of the equity interest the Company holds in the capital of the investee.

- 26 -


All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation, including investments, current accounts, dividends receivable, income and expenses and unrealized results among consolidated companies.

Transactions and balances with related parties, shareholders and investees are disclosed in the respective notes.

The statement of changes in shareholders' equity reflects the changes in Gafisa S.A.'s parent company's books.

3 Significant Accounting Practices

The more significant accounting practices adopted in the preparation of the quarterly information is as follows:

(a) Recognition of results

(i) Real estate development and sales

Revenues, as well as costs and expenses directly related to real estate development units sold, are recognized over the course of the construction period of the projects, based on a financial measure of completion, and not at the time of execution of the agreements for the sale of units or the receipt of the amounts corresponding to the sale of units.

For completed units, the result is recognized when the sale is made, regardless of the receipt of the contractual amount, provided that the following conditions are met: (a) the result is determinable, that is, the collectibility of the sale price is reasonably assured or the amount that will not be collected can be estimated, and (b) the earnings process is virtually complete, that is, the Company is not obliged to perform significant activities after the sale to earn the profit. The collectibility of the sales price is demonstrated by the client's commitment to pay, which in turn is supported by initial and continuing investment.

For the sales of unfinished units, the following procedures and rules were observed:

.. The incurred cost (including the costs related to land) corresponding to the units sold is fully appropriated to the result.

.. The percentage of incurred cost (including costs related to land) is measured in relation to total estimated cost, and this percentage is applied to the revenues from units sold, determined in accordance with the terms established in the sales contracts, thus determining the amount of revenues and selling expenses to be recognized.

- 27 -


.. Any amount of revenues recognized that exceeds the amount received from clients is recorded as a current or long-term asset. Any amount received in connection with the sale of units that exceeds the amount of revenues recognized is recorded as "Obligations for purchase of land and Advances from clients".

.. Interest and inflation-indexation charges on accounts receivable as from the time the client takes possession of the property, as well as the adjustment to present value of accounts receivable, are appropriated to results from the development and sale of real estate using the accrual basis of accounting.

.. The financial charges on accounts payable for the acquisition of land and real estate credit operations during the construction period are appropriated to incurred costs, and recognized in results upon the sale of the units of the venture to which they are directly related.

The taxes on the difference between the revenues from real estate development and the accumulated revenues subject to tax are calculated and recognized when the difference in revenues is recognized.

The other income and expenses, including advertising and publicity, are appropriated to the results as they are incurred using the accrual basis of accounting.

(ii) Construction services and Revenues and costs related to barter transactions

Revenues from real estate services consist primarily of amounts received in connection with construction management activities for third parties, technical management and management of real estate. The revenues recognized as services are rendered, net of the corresponding costs incurred, were R$ 18,145 (consolidated) and R$ 13,845 (parent company) for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and R$ 10,749 (consolidated) and R$ 7,038 (parent company) as of March 31, 2008.

Revenues, as well as costs incurred from barter transactions are appropriated to income over the course of the construction period of the projects based on the financial measure of completion. The revenue from barter transactions is recognized net of the corresponding costs incurred under Real estate development revenue. In the quarter ended March 31, 2009, revenues and costs each totaled R$ 7,963 (parent company) and R$ 8,592 (consolidated) (March 31, 2008 – R$ 13,893 (parent company and consolidated).

(b) Cash and cash equivalents

These consist primarily of bank certificates of deposit and investment funds, denominated in reais, having a ready market and original maturity of 90 days or less or in regard to which there are no penalties or other restrictions for early redemption, recognized at market value.

- 28 -


At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the amount related to investment funds is recorded at market value.

Investment funds in which the Company is the sole owner are fully consolidated.

(c) Receivables from clients

These are stated at cost plus accrued interest and indexation adjustments, net of adjustment to present value. The allowance for doubtful accounts, when necessary, is provided in an amount considered sufficient by management to meet expected losses.

The installments due are indexed based on the National Civil Construction Index (INCC) during the construction phase, and based on the General Market Prices Index (IGP-M) after delivery of the units. The balance of the accounts receivable (after delivery) generally accrues annual interest of 12%. The financial revenues are recorded in Real estate development ; interest recognized as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 totaled R$ 10,409 and R$ 3,312 (parent company) and R$ 16,176 and R$ 7,986 (consolidated), respectively.

(d) Certificates of real estate receivables (CRIs)

The Company assigns receivables for the securitization and issuance of mortgage-backed securities ("CRI"). When this assignment does not involve right of recourse, it is recorded as a reduction of accounts receivable. When the transaction involves recourse against the Company, the accounts receivable sold is maintained on the balance sheet. The financial guarantees, when a participation is acquired (subordinated CRI) and maintained to secure the receivables that were assigned, are recorded in the balance sheet in Long-term receivables at fair value.

(e) Receivables securitization fund ("FIDC”)

The Company consolidates its receivables securitization fund (FIDC), in which it holds subordinated quotas, subscribed and paid in by the Company in receivables.

Pursuant to CVM Instruction No. 408, the consolidation by the Company of FDIC considers, among other factors: (a) whether the Company still has control over the assigned receivables, (b) whether it still retains any right in relation to assigned receivables, (c) whether it still bears the risks and responsibilities for the assigned receivables, and (d) whether the Company pledges guarantees to FIDC investors in relation to the expected receipts and interests, formally or otherwise.

- 29 -


Upon consolidating the FIDC, the Company presents the receivables in Accounts receivables from clients, and the FIDC quotaholders equity is reflected in Minority interests, the balance of subordinated quotas held by the Company being eliminated upon consolidation process.

The financial expenses from these transactions are appropriated on a pro rata basis as Financial expenses.

(f) Properties for sale

Land is stated at cost of acquisition. Land is recorded only after the deed of property is registered. The Company also acquires land through barter transactions where, in exchange for the land acquired, it undertakes to deliver (a) real estate units under development or (b) part of the sales revenues originating from the sale of the real estate units. Land acquired through barter transaction is stated at fair value.

Properties are stated at construction cost, which does not exceed net realizable value. In the case of real estate developments in progress, the portion in inventories corresponds to the cost incurred for units that have not yet been sold. The cost comprises construction (materials, own or outsourced labor and other related items) and land, including financial charges appropriated to the development as incurred during the construction phase.

When the cost of construction of properties for sale exceeds the expected cash flow from sales, once completed or still under construction, an impairment charge is recognized in the period when the book value is considered no longer to be recoverable. This analysis is consistently applied to residential ventures targeted at the low, medium and high income markets, regardless of their geographic region or construction phase.

Properties for sale are reviewed to evaluate the recovery of the book value of each real estate development when events or changes in macroeconomic scenarios indicate that the book value may not be recoverable. If the book value of a real estate development is not recoverable, compared to its realizable value through expected cash flows, a provision is recorded.

The Company capitalizes interest on developments during the construction phase, arising from the National Housing System and other credit lines that are used for financing the construction of developments (limited to the corresponding financial expense amount). Interest capitalized in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 totaled R$ 16,292 (parent company) and R$ 24,236 (consolidated) (December 31, 2008 – R$ 29,002 (parent company) and R$ 33,669 (consolidated)).

- 30 -


(g) Deferred selling expenses

These include brokerage expenditures, recorded in results following the same percentage-of-completion criteria adopted for the recognition of revenues. The charges related to sales commission of the buyer are not recognized as revenue or expense of the Company.

(h) Warranty provision

At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries presented a provision to cover expenditures for repairing construction defects covered during the warranty period, amounting to R$ 13,257 and R$ 11,900 (consolidated), respectively, excluding subsidiaries that operate with outsourced companies, which provide warranty on the construction services provided. The warranty period is five years from the delivery of the unit.

(i) Prepaid expenses

These refer to sundry expenses which are taken to income in the period to which they relate.

(j) Property and equipment

Stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on straight-line based on the estimated useful life of the assets, as follows: (i) vehicles - 5 years; (ii) office equipment and other installations - 10 years; and (iii) sales stands, facilities, model apartments and related furnishings - 1 year.

(k) Intangible assets

Intangible assets relate to the acquisition and development of computer systems and software licenses, stated at acquisition cost, and are amortized over a period of up to five years.

(l) Investments in subsidiaries and jointly-controlled investees

(i) Net equity value

If the Company holds more than half of the voting capital of another company, the latter is considered a subsidiary company and is consolidated. In situations where shareholder agreements grant the other party veto rights affecting the Company’s business decisions with regards to its subsidiary, such affiliates are considered to be jointly-controlled companies, and are recorded on the equity method. Investments in subsidiaries and jointly-controlled companies are recorded using the equity method in the parent company’s financial statements.

- 31 -


Changes after initial acquisition are adjusted as part of the cost of the investment. Unrealized gains or transactions between the Company and its affiliates and subsidiary companies are eliminated in proportion to the Company's interest; unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the transferred asset.

When the Company's interest in the losses of subsidiaries is equal to or higher than the amount invested, the Company recognizes the residual portion of the net capital deficiency since it assumes obligations to make payments on behalf of these companies or for advances for future capital increase.

The accounting practices of acquired subsidiaries are aligned with those of the parent company, in order to ensure consistency with the practices adopted by the Company.

(ii) Goodwill and negative goodwill on the acquisition of investments

The Company’s investments in subsidiaries include goodwill when the acquisition cost exceeds the book value of net tangible assets of the acquired subsidiary and negative goodwill when the acquisition cost is lower.

Through December 31, 2008, goodwill was amortized in accordance with the underlying economic basis which considers factors such as the land bank, the ability to generate results from developments launched and/or to be launched and other inherent factors. Pursuant to OCPC No. 02, from January 1, 2009 goodwill is no longer amortized in results for the period.

The Company evaluates at the balance sheet date whether there are any indications of permanent loss and potential adjustments to measure the residual portion not amortized of recorded goodwill, and records an impairment provision, if required, to adjust the carrying value of goodwill to recoverable amounts or to realizable values. If the book value exceeds the recoverable amount, the amount thereof is reduced.

Goodwill that cannot be justified economically is immediately charged to results.

Negative goodwill that is justified economically is appropriated to results at the extent the assets which originated it are realized. Negative goodwill that is not justified economically is recognized in results only upon disposal of the investment.

(m) Obligations for purchase of land and advances from clients (barter transactions)

These are contractual obligations established for purchases of land in inventory (Property for sale) which are stated at amortized cost plus interest and charges, when applicable.

The obligations related to barter transactions of land in exchange for real estate units are stated at fair value, as Advances from clients.

(n) Selling expenses

Selling expenses include advertising, promotion, brokerage fees and similar expenses, appropriated to results when incurred.

(o) Taxes on income

Taxes on income in Brazil comprise Federal income tax (25%) and social contribution (9%), as recorded in the statutory accounting records, for entities on the taxable profit regime, for which the composite statutory rate is 34%. Deferred taxes are provided on all temporary tax differences.

As permitted by tax legislation, certain subsidiaries and jointly-controlled companies, the annual billings of which were lower than a specified amount, opted for the presumed profit regime. For these companies, the income tax basis is calculated at the rate of 8% on gross revenues plus financial income and for the social contribution basis at 12% on gross revenues plus financial income, upon which the income tax and social contribution rates, 25% and 9%, respectively, are applied.

The deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that future taxable income is expected to be available to be used to offset temporary differences based on the budgeted future results prepared based on internal assumptions. New circumstances and economic scenarios may, change the estimates.

Deferred tax assets arising from net operating losses have no expiration dates, though offset is restricted to 30% of annual taxable income. Taxable entities on the presumed profit regime cannot offset prior year losses against tax payable.

In the event realization of deferred tax assets is not considered to be probable, no amount is recorded (Note 15). Reclassifications from results to shareholders' equity, when applicable, are made net of taxes.

- 33 -


(p) Other current and long-term liabilities

These liabilities are stated on the accrual basis at their known or estimated amounts, plus, when applicable, the corresponding indexation charges and foreign exchange gains and losses.

The liability for future compensation of employee vacations earned is fully accrued.

Gafisa S.A. and its subsidiaries do not offer private pension plans or retirement plan to employees.

(q) Stock option plans

The fair value of services received from the plan participants, in exchange for options, is determined in relation to the fair value of shares, on the grant date of each plan and recognized as expense through the vesting date.

(r) Profit sharing program for employees and officers

The Company provides for the distribution of profit sharing benefits and bonuses to employees recognized in results in General and administrative expenses.

Additionally, the Company's bylaws establish the distribution of profit sharing to executive officers (in an amount that does not exceed the lower of (i) their annual compensation or (ii) 10% of the Company's net income).

The bonus systems operate on a three-tier performance-based structure in which the corporate efficiency targets as approved by the Board of Directors must first be achieved, followed by targets for the business units and finally individual performance targets.

(s) Present value adjustment

Certain asset and liability items were adjusted to present value based on discount rates that reflect management's best estimate of the value of money over time and the specific risks of the asset and the liability.

(t) Cross-currency interest rate swap and derivative transactions

The Company has derivative instruments for the purposes of mitigating the risk of its exposure to the volatility of currencies, indices and interest rates, recognized at fair value directly in income. In accordance with its treasury policies, the Company does not acquire or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

- 34 -


(u) Financial liabilities recorded at fair value

The Company designated certain loans denominated in foreign currency as financial liabilities at fair value through income. These transactions are directly linked to the cross-currency interest rate swaps and are recognized at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial liabilities are directly recognized in results.

(v) Impairment of financial assets

At each balance sheet date, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable, the Company evaluates whether there are any indications of impairment of a financial asset or group of financial assets in relation to the market value, and its ability to generate positive cash flows to support its realization. A financial asset or group of financial assets is considered impaired when there is objective evidence of a decrease in recoverable value as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, which impact estimated future cash flows.

(x) Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated based on the number of shares outstanding at the end of each year, net of treasury shares.

The balance of accounts receivable from the units sold and not yet delivered is limited to the portion of revenues accounted for net of the amounts already received.

The balances of advances from clients (development and services), which exceed the revenues recorded in the period, amount to R$ 140,122 in consolidated at March 31, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - R$ 91,603), and are classified in Obligations for purchase of land and advances from clients.

The allowance for doubtful accounts for Tenda totaled R$ 19,628 (consolidated) at March 31, 2009 (December 31, 2008 – R$ 18,815), and is considered sufficient by the Company's management to cover future losses on the realization of accounts receivable of this subsidiary.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is not considered necessary, except for Tenda, since the history of losses on accounts receivable is insignificant. The Company's evaluation of the risk of loss takes into account that these credits refer mostly to developments under construction, where the transfer of the property deed only takes place after the settlement and/or negotiation of the client receivables.

At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the balance of accounts receivable was reduced by an adjustment to present value of R$ 62,901 and R$ 62,266 (consolidated).

On March 31, 2009, the Company carried out a FIDC transaction, which consists of an assignment of a portfolio comprising select residential and commercial real estate receivables arising from Gafisa and its subsidiaries. This portfolio was assigned and transferred to “Gafisa FIDC” which issued Senior and Subordinated quotas. This first issuance of senior quotas was made through an offering restricted to qualified investors.

- 36 -


Subordinated quotas were subscribed exclusively by Gafisa. S.A. Gafisa FDIC acquired the portfolio of receivables at a discount rate equivalent to the interest rate of finance contracts.

Gafisa S.A. provides services to Gafisa FDIC including the reconciliation of receivables collections owned by the fund and the collection of past due receivables. Gafisa S.A can be replaced by another collection in the event of non-fulfillment of the collection service described in the contract.

The Company assigned a receivables portfolio of R$ 119,622 to Gafisa FIDC in exchange for cash, which was the equivalent, at the transfer date, discounted to present value, of R$ 88,664 (respectively, R$ 119,622 discounted to present value at March 31, 2009). Gafisa FIDC issued Senior and Subordinated quotas. The subordinated quotas were fully subscribed by Gafisa S.A., representing approximately 21% of the amount issued, totaling R$ 18,958 (present value) – (Note 8). Senior and Subordinated quota receivables are indexed to the IGP-M and incur interest at 12% per year.

The Company has consolidated Gafisa FIDC in its financial statements, which at March 31, 2009 presented receivables of R$ 88,864 (Accounts of receivables from clients), and R$ 69,706 recorded as Minority interests, the balance of subordinated quotas held by the Company being eliminated on consolidation.

(*) The Company participates in the development of real estate ventures with other partners, directly or through related parties, based on the constitution of condominiums and/or consortia. The management structure of these enterprises and the cash management are centralized in the lead partner of the enterprise, which manages the construction schedule and budgets. Thus, the lead partner ensures that the investments of the necessary funds are made and allocated as planned. The sources and use of resources of the venture are reflected in these balances, observing the respective participation percentage, which are not subject to indexation or financial charges and do not have a predetermined maturity date. The average term for the development and completion of the projects in which the resources are invested is between 24 and 30 months. Other payables to partners of real estate ventures are presented separately.

8 Investments in subsidiaries

In January 2007, upon the acquisition of 60% of AUSA, arising from the merger of Catalufa Participações Ltda., a capital increase of R$ 134,029 was approved upon the issuance for public subscription of 6,358,116 common shares. This transaction generated goodwill of R$ 170,941 recorded based on expected future profitability, which is being amortized exponentially and progressively up to December 31, 2008 to match the estimated profit before taxes of AUSA on accrual basis of accounting. From January 1, 2009, the goodwill from the acquisition of AUSA is no longer amortized according to the new accounting practices; however, it will be evaluated, at least annually, in a context of evaluation of recoverable value and potential losses. The Company has a commitment to purchase the remaining 40% of AUSA's capital stock based on the fair value of AUSA, evaluated at the future acquisition dates, the purchase consideration for which cannot yet be calculated and, consequently, is not recognized. The contract for acquisition provides that the Company undertakes to purchase the remaining 40% of AUSA in the following five years (20% in January 2010 and 20% in January 2012) for settlement in cash or shares, at the Company's sole discretion.

- 38 -


On October 26, 2007, the Company acquired 70% of Cipesa and Gafisa S.A. and Cipesa incorporated a new company, Cipesa Empreendimentos Imobiliários Ltda. ("Nova Cipesa"), in which the Company holds a 70% interest and Cipesa has 30%. Gafisa S.A. made a contribution in Nova Cipesa of R$ 50,000 in cash and acquired the shares which Cipesa held in Nova Cipesa amounting for R$ 15,000, paid on October 26, 2008. Cipesa is entitled to receive from the Company a variable portion corresponding to 2% of the Total Sales Value (VGV), as defined, of the projects launched by Nova Cipesa through 2014, not to exceed R$ 25,000. Accordingly, the Company’s purchase consideration totaled R$ 90,000 and goodwill amounting to R$ 40,686 was recorded, based on expected future profitability. From January 1, 2009, according to the new accounting practices, the goodwill from the acquisition of Nova Cipesa will be evaluated, at least annually, in a context of evaluation of recoverable value and potential losses.

In November 2007, the Company acquired for R$ 40,000 the remaining interest in certain ventures with Redevco do Brasil Ltda. ("Redevco"). As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized negative goodwill of R$ 31,235, based on expected future profitability, which is being amortized exponentially and progressively up to March 31, 2009, based on the estimated profit before taxes on net income of these SPEs. In the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company amortized negative goodwill amounting to R$ 1,273 arising from the acquisition of these SPEs (March 31, 2008 – R$ 2,817).

On October 21, 2008, as part of the acquisition of its interest in Tenda (Note 1), the Company contributed the net assets of Fit Residencial amounting to R$ 411,241, acquiring 60% of the shareholders' equity of Tenda, which at that date presented shareholders' equity book value of R$ 1,036,072, with an investment of R$ 621,643. The sale of the 40% quotas of Fit Residencial to Tenda shareholders in exchange for the Tenda shares generated negative goodwill of R$ 210,402, which is based on expected future results, reflecting the gain on the sale of the interest in Fit Residencial (gain on the exchange of shares). This negative goodwill is being amortized over the average construction period (through delivery of the units) of the real estate ventures of Fit Residencial at October 21, 2008. In the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company amortized R$ 52,600 of the gain on the partial sale of Fit Residencial.

10 Debentures

In September 2006, the Company obtained approval for its Second Debenture Placement Program, which allows it to place up to R$ 500,000 in non-convertible simple subordinated debentures secured by a general guarantee.

In June 2008, the Company obtained approval for its Third Debenture Placement Program, which allows it to place R$ 1,000,000 in simple debentures with a general guarantee maturing in two years.

Under the Second and Third Programs, the Company placed 24,000 and 25,000 series debentures, respectively, corresponding to R$ 240,000 and R$ 250,000, with the following features:

Non-current portion, principal        442,000    442,000 

The Company has restrictive debenture covenants which limit its ability to perform certain actions, such as the issuance of debt, and that could require the early redemption or refinancing of loans if the Company does not fulfill these. The first issuance of the Second Program and the first issuance of the Third Program have cross-restrictive covenants in which an event of default or early maturity of any debt above R$ 5,000 and R$ 10,000, respectively, requires the Company to early amortize the first issuance of the Second Program. The actual ratios and minimum and maximum amounts stipulated by these restrictive covenants and measured under Brazilian GAAP at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

    3/31/2009    12/31/2008

At March 31, 2009, the Company’s debt levels had exceeded the limit stipulated by the restrictive covenants. The Company is not in technical breach of the covenants as these are only measured at June 30 and December 31 of each year.

In January 2008, the Company formed an unincorporated venture (SCP), the main objective of which is to hold interests in other real estate development companies. The SCP received contributions of R$ 313,084 through March 31, 2009 (represented by 13,084,000 Class A quotas fully paid-in by the Company and 300,000,000 Class B quotas from the other venture partner). The SCP will preferably use these funds to acquire equity investments and increase the capital of its investees. As the decision to invest or not is made jointly by all quotaholders, the venture is treated as a variable interest entity and the Company deemed to be the primary beneficiary; at March 31, 2009, Obligations to venture partners amounts to R$ 300,000 which mature on January 31, 2014. The SCP has a defined term which ends on January 31, 2014 at which time the Company is required to redeem the venture partner's interest. The venture partner receives an annual dividend substantially equivalent to the variation in the Interbank Certificate of Deposit (CDI) rate. The SCP's charter provides for the compliance with certain covenants by the Company, in its capacity as lead partner, which include the maintenance of minimum indices of net debt and receivables. At March 31, 2009, the SCP and the Company were in compliance with these clauses.

Loans from real estate development partners are related to amounts due under current account agreements, which accrued financial charges of IGP-M plus 12% p.a.

Our subsidiary AUSA is a party in judicial lawsuits and administrative proceedings related to Excise Tax (IPI) and Value-added Tax on Sales and Services (ICMS) on two imports of aircraft in 2001 and 2005, respectively, under leasing agreements without purchase option. The likelihood of loss in the ICMS case is estimated by legal counsel as (i) probable in regard to the principal and interest, and (ii) remote in regard to the fine for noncompliance with ancillary obligations. The amount of the contingency estimated by legal counsel as a probable loss amounts to R$ 17,021 and is recorded in a provision in the quarterly information at March 31, 2009.

- 48 -


At March 31, 2009, the Company is monitoring other lawsuits and risks, the likelihood of loss for which, based on the position of legal counsel, is possible but not probable, totaling approximately R$ 69,302, according to the historical average of lawsuits, and for which management believes a provision for loss is not necessary.

In September 2008, an amount of R$ 10,583 in Gafisa S.A.’s bank accounts were deemed to be restricted for withdrawal. This restriction arose from a foreclosure action in which it is alleged that Gafisa S.A. became the successor of Cimob Companhia Imobiliária S.A. ("Cimob") upon merger of Cimob, at which time Cimob assets were reduced. The Company is appealing against such decision on the grounds that the claim lacks merit, in order to release its funds and not be held liable for Cimob's debt. No provision was recognized in the quarterly information as of March 31, 2009 based on the position of the Company's legal counsel.

An amount of R$ 27,979 of the proceeds of the Company's initial public offering was withheld in an escrow deposit attached by court order to guarantee a writ of execution. The Company is appealing the decision and considers that the claim has no merit. No provision has been recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2008 based on the position of the Company's legal counsel.

(b) Commitment to complete developments

The Company is committed to deliver units to owners of land who exchange land for real estate units developed by the Company.

The Company is also committed to complete units sold and to comply with the requirements of the building regulations and licenses approved by the proper authorities. At March 31, 2009, estimated costs to be incurred on developments under construction total approximately R$ 2,166,655. At March 31, 2009, the Company has resources approved for its developments of R$ 670,422 (parent company) and R$ 1,051,566 (consolidated) to meet these commitments (Note 9).

To be eligible for the plans (plans from 2000 to 2002), participant employees are required to contribute 10% of the value of total benefited options on the date the option is granted and, additionally, for each of the following five years, 18% of the price of the grant per year. The exercise price of the grant is inflation adjusted (IGP-M index), plus annual interest from 3% to 6%. The stock option may be exercised in one to five years

subsequent to the initial date of the work period established in each of the plans. The shares are usually available to employees over a period of ten years after their contribution.

The Company records the cash receipt against a liability account to the extent the employees make advances for the purchase of the shares during the vesting period. There were no advanced payments for 2009 and 2008.

The Company and its subsidiaries may decide to issue new shares or transfer the treasury shares to the employees in accordance with the clauses established in the plans. The Company has the right of first refusal on shares issued under the plans in the event of dismissals and retirement. In such cases, the amounts advanced are returned to the employees, in certain circumstances, at amounts that correspond to the greater of the market value of the shares (as established in the rules of the plans) or the amount inflation-indexed (IGP-M) plus annual interest from 3% to 6%.

In 2008, the Company issued a new stock option plan. In order to become eligible for the grant, employees are required to contribute from 25% to 80% of their annual net bonus to exercise the options within 30 days from the program date.

The market value of each option granted is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The changes in the number of stock options and corresponding weighted average exercise prices are as follows:

The Company calculates its taxes based on the recognition of results proportionally to the receipt of the contracted sales, in accordance with the tax rules determined by the Federal Revenue Service (SRF) Instruction 84/79, which differs from the calculation of the accounting revenues based on the costs incurred versus total estimated cost. The tax basis will crystallize over an average period of four years as cash inflows arise.

Other than for Tenda, the Company has not recorded a deferred income tax asset on the tax losses and social contribution tax loss carryforwards of its subsidiaries, which adopt the taxable income regime and do not have a history of taxable income for the past three years.

The estimates of future taxable income consider variables that are related, among other things, to the Company's performance and the behavior of the market in which it operates, as well as certain economic factors. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Based on estimated future taxable income of Gafisa, the expected recovery profile of the income tax and social contribution loss carryforwards of the parent company and Tenda is as follows:

    Parent company    Consolidated 
     
 
2009    2,410    5,289 
2010    2,773    33,192

The reconciliation of the statutory to effective tax rate is as follows:

        Consolidated 
   
    3/31/2009    3/31/2008 
     
 
Income before taxes on income and minority interest    64,801    56,465 
Income tax calculated at the standard rate - 34%    (22,032)   (19,198)
Net effect of subsidiaries taxed on presumed profit regime    10,166    8,736 
Amortization of negative goodwill    (1,734)  
Tax losses from prior periods    171    510 
Stock option plan    (2,913)   (3,372)
Other permanent differences    29    (255)
 
     
Income tax and social contribution expense    (16,313)   (13,579)
     

The reconciliation differences between the nominal and effective tax rates in the parent company mainly arises from the equity in results and the use of tax losses recorded from prior years and used in the current period.

16 Financial Instruments

The Company participates in operations involving financial instruments, all of which are recorded on the balance sheet, for the purposes of meeting its operating needs and reducing its exposure to credit, currency and interest rate risks. These risks are managed by control policies, specific strategies and determination of limits, as follows:

(a) Risk considerations

(i) Credit risk

The Company and its subsidiaries restrict their exposure to credit risks associated with banks and cash and cash equivalents, investing in highly-rated financial institutions in short-term securities.

With regards to accounts receivable, the Company restricts its exposure to credit risks through sales to a broad base of clients and ongoing credit analysis. Additionally, there is no history of losses due to the existence of liens for the recovery of its products in the cases of default during the construction period.

Other than for Tenda, the Company has not recorded a provision to cover losses for the recovery of receivables related to real estate units delivered at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. There was no significant concentration of credit risks related to clients for the periods presented.

- 55 -


(ii) Currency risk

The Company participates in operations involving derivative financial instruments for the purposes of mitigating the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

In the periods ended March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, R$ 69,469 and R$ 80,895 related to the net positive result of cross-currency interest rate swap operations was recognized in Financial income (expenses), matching the results of these operations with the fluctuation in foreign currencies in the Company's balance sheet.

The nominal value of the swap contracts was R$ 200,000 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The unrealized gains (losses) of these operations at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows (Note 9):

    Reais    Percentage        Net unrealized gains (losses)from derivative instruments 
     
               
         
 
Rate swap contracts – (US Dollar and Yen for CDI)   Nominal value    Original index    Swap    3/31/2009    12/31/2008 
         
 
 
Banco ABN Amro Real S.A.    100,000    Yen + 1.4%    105% CDI    40,068    53,790 
Banco Votorantim S.A.    100,000    US Dollar + 7%    104% CDI    29,402    32,962 
           
 
    200,000            69,470    86,752 
           

The Company does not sell in foreign currency.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The interest rates on loans and financing are disclosed in Note 9. The interest rates contracted on financial investments are disclosed in Note 4. Accounts receivable from real estate units delivered (Note 5) are subject to annual interest of 12%, appropriated on pro rata basis.

Additionally, as disclosed in Notes 7 and 11, a significant portion of the balances from related parties and with partners in the ventures are not subject to financial charges.

(b) Valuation of financial instruments

The main financial instruments receivable and payable are described below, as well as the criteria for their valuation.

- 56 -


(i) Cash and cash equivalents

The market value of these assets does not differ significantly from the amounts presented in the quarterly information (Note 4). The contracted rates reflect usual market conditions.

(ii) Loans and financing and debentures

Loans and financing are recorded based on the contractual interest rates of each operation, except for loans denominated in foreign currency, which are designated at fair value as contra-entry to results. Interest rate estimates for contracting operations with similar terms and amounts are used for the determination of market value. The terms and conditions of loans and financing and debentures obtained are presented in Notes 9 and 10. The fair value of the other loans and financing, recorded based on the contractual interest of each operation, does not significantly differ from the amounts presented in the financial statements.

(c) Sensitivity analysis

A sensitivity analysis of the risks of material losses that could accrue from financial instrument transactions, based on management's best estimate of the most likely scenario (Scenario I), is presented below. Additionally, a further two scenarios are presented, as required by the CVM, pursuant to Instruction No. 475/08, by stressing the variables by 25% and 50%, respectively, (Scenarios II and III).

At March 31, 2009, the Company had two foreign exchange derivatives with the banks - Votorantim and ABN Amro:

- Banco Votorantim: cross-currency interest rate from US dollars for R$100 million, at a fixed cost of 7% per year per asset position, to a cost of 104% of CDI. Beginning on November 9, 2007 and maturity on June 9, 2009.

- Banco ABN Amro: cross-currency interest rate from Yen, equivalent to R$100 million, at a fixed cost of 1.4% per year per asset position, to a cost of 105% of CDI. Beginning on November 9, 2007 and maturity on October 29, 2009.

The risk factors in the sensitivity analysis were the variations in R$/US$ and R$/Yen exchange rates, and in the CDI rate. Management considers that risk is limited to the CDI variation as the swap operation has the effect of mitigating the currency volatility risk.

The following scenarios were considered:

.. Scenario I: Likely – Management considered the market yield curves at March 31, 2009 for the maturity dates of derivative transactions:

- 57 -


- R$/US$ 2.34 and CDI rate at 10.31% on June 9, 2009;
- R$/JPY 0.02496 and CDI rate at 10.93% on October 29, 2009.

.. Scenario II: Appreciation/Devaluation by 25% of risk variables used in pricing.

.. Scenario III: Appreciation/Devaluation by 50% of risk variables used in pricing.

A sensitivity analysis of the risks of material losses that could accrue from financial instrument transactions, including derivatives, based on management's best estimate of the most likely scenario (Scenario I), is presented below. Additionally, a further two scenarios are presented, as required by CVM Instruction No. 475/08, by stressing the variables by 25% and 50%, respectively, (Scenarios II and III).

At March 31, 2009, the liability position balances for CDI are as follows:

Votorantim swap transaction: R$118,032
ABN swap transaction: R$118,221

A sensitivity analysis of these transactions does not change the debt balance at the base date, since the CDI rate used for projecting the debt is the same used for discount to present value.

The source of the data used to determine the exchange rate adopted in the base scenarios was the Brazilian Mercantile & Futures Exchange ("BMF"), as management believes that this is the most reliable and independent source, and which represents the market consensus on these quotations.

The US Dollar and Yen data were sourced from the BMF website on March 31, 2009 for the maturity dates.

20 Segment information

Starting in 2007, following the acquisition, formation and merger of the entities AUSA, FIT Residencial, Bairro Novo and Tenda, respectively, the Company's management assesses segment information on the basis of different business segments rather than geographic regions of its operations.

The Company's chief executive officer, who is responsible for allocating resources among the businesses and monitoring their progress, uses economic present value data, which is derived from a combination of historical and forecasted operating results. The Company provides below a measure of historical profit or loss, selected segment assets and other related information for each reporting segment.

This information is gathered internally and used by management to develop economic present value estimates, provided to the chief executive officer for making operating decisions, including the allocation of resources among segments. The information is derived from the statutory accounting records which are maintained in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The reporting segments do not separate operating expenses, total assets and depreciation. No revenues from an individual client represented more than 10% of net sales and/or services.

20 Subsequent events

In April 2009, Tenda obtained approval for its First Program of Debenture Distribution, which allows it to place up to R$ 600,000 in non-convertible simple subordinated debentures secured by a general guarantee, with maturity on April 1, 2014.

The funds raised through issuance will be exclusively used to finance entry level low cost real estate ventures that meet the eligibility criteria. The debenture is not inflation indexed and accrues interest based on the Referential Rate (TR), as disclosed by the Brazilian Central Bank, calculated on “pro rata” basis by business days, capitalized every six months at a spread or initial surcharge at 8% per nominal year. The guarantees include the fiduciary assignment of receivables and bank accounts.

Tenda has restrictive debenture covenants that restrict its ability to take certain actions, such as issuance of debt and which would result in the accelerated maturity or refinancing of loans should the company not fulfill the restrictive covenants.

Gafisa Reports First Quarter 2009 Results
--- EBITDA Increase of 69% to R$108.3 million on Revenue Increase of 59% to R$542 million ---
--- Sales Increase 11% to R$558 million, from R$502 million in 1Q08 ---
--- 2009 Guidance: Consolidated Sales R$2.7 billion to 3.2 billion, EBITDA Margin 16% to 17%---

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – São Paulo, May 14, 2009 – Gafisa S.A. (Bovespa: GFSA3; NYSE: GFA), Brazil’s leading diversified national homebuilder, today reported financial results the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. The financial statements were prepared and presented in accordance with Brazilian GAAP and in Brazilian Reais (R$). Only financial data derived from the Company’s accounting system were subject to review by the Company’s auditors. Operating and financial information not directly linked to the accounting system (i.e., launches, pre-sales, average sales price, land bank, PSV and others) or non-BR GAAP measures were not reviewed by the auditors. Additionally, financial statements and operating information consolidate the numbers for Gafisa and its subsidiaries, and refer to Gafisa’s stake (or participation) in its developments. The first quarter of 2008 has been adjusted in accordance with Law 11638, new Brazilian GAAP, for comparison purposes to the first quarter of 2009.

Commenting on first quarter performance, Wilson Amaral, chief executive officer of Gafisa, S.A. said, “I am pleased that our operating results remained strong for the first quarter of 2009. With the environment still in flux throughout much of the period, we took a conservative approach to launches and kept our development schedule in-line with market demand and internally generated cash flow. On the other hand we were able to successfully ramp-up our sales efforts to generate over R$558 million in sales, resulting in a significant reduction of inventory.”

Amaral added,” With the announcement at the end of March of the government housing package, and the landmark R$600 million debenture from Caixa Econômica Federal, our subsidiary Tenda is now in an excellent position to aggressively execute its expanded business plan for development projects in the lower income sector. We have a strong management team in place and, as a group, we have the expertise and execution capacity to meet what we believe will be significantly accelerated demand in the near future. At Gafisa and Alphaville, we will continue to dedicate resources to selected launches as well as marketing and sales efforts.”

CEO Commentary and Corporate Highlights for 1Q 2009 

As the outlook for the housing industry in Brazil begins to brighten, I am pleased to report that Gafisa remains in a very strong position overall in the homebuilding market. Only two months ago, there remained uncertainty with respect to the full extent and the timing of the government’s commitment to introducing incentives to stimulate development and demand within our industry. Today, we have a housing finance and incentive plan in place, Minha Casa, Minha Vida, which is already showing signs of early success. Tenda’s rate of sales is picking up daily and we were able to close on a landmark debenture in record time to support the development of over 80 projects this year. Our diversified range of products, national presence, and well-respected brands in each segment make us a leader in the sector. We are well-positioned to meet the considerable demand for housing across all segments in Brazil and in particular, expect to focus in the near term on supporting Tenda in its plan to take full advantage of the substantial opportunity in the lower income segment.

Gafisa continued to take a conservative approach to launches, focusing on cash generation and preservation during a period of still-uncertain trends of macroeconomic growth. The Company’s special attention to harvesting cash from previous year’s launches achieved solid results, with sales from previous year’s launches reaching 93% of the quarter’s sales. While new launches were not a high priority due to low visibility as to future demand toward the end of 2009, Gafisa did enjoy successful launches in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Pernambuco.

In March, Gafisa raised R$70 million through a sale of receivables of completed units, and the Company has an additional R$200 million worth of receivables available for sale in the future, should management choose that option. We continue to enjoy strong relationships with banks that have been developed over many years. Today we need to change a covenant established on financing from 2006, when our equity was R$807 million - we are a much larger company now, with over R$1.6 billion in equity and more than R$2.0 billion in equity including minority interests. We are confident that this will be a successful exercise.

Speaking of financing transactions, we are also honored that Tenda was chosen as the first recipient of an innovative financing instrument during the first quarter, a ground-breaking R$600 million debenture. The only national company with a track record of exclusive dedication to the low-income segment, its growth promises to be accelerated also by the over R$30 billion government housing package targeting the affordable/entry-level segment that was implemented in April.

As we look at the remainder of 2009, Gafisa will continue to develop its well respected brands in new and existing markets, leverage complimentary sales channels to maximize sales of portfolio products, and take advantage of the increased availability of working capital financing, particularly as it applies to the construction of affordable housing. We believe that these efforts will allow us to best serve Brazilian homebuyers and extend our record of growth.

Wilson Amaral
CEO – Gafisa S.A.

Recent Developments 

Government plan announced and already showing results: “Minha Casa, Minha Vida”, the Government Housing Program, was announced in late March. The Program comprises investments of more than R$ 30 billion, which will be directed to foster the construction of one million houses for families with monthly income from one to ten minimum wages. Tenda is well positioned to benefit from this Program with over two thirds of its current business concentrated in the targeted segment as well as meet potential demand with a current landbank in excess of 60,000 units. The Company already saw accelerated sales beginning in the second half of April at its Tenda subsidiary.

The main measures of this Program include: longer mortgage terms; lower interest rates; higher percentage of financed LTV; higher subsidies, provided on a inverse proportion to the income level; lower costs related to insurance and origination; and creation of a Guarantee Fund to allow for a bridge of mortgage payments in case of unemployment.

Tenda completed a R$600 million debenture with Caixa Econômica Federal: receipt of the net proceeds took place in May and will serve to finance 81 existing projects, accelerating the Company’s delivery cycle and freeing-up working capital The 5 year debenture is priced at TR+8%, is revolving in nature and provides a 3 year initial grace period. Guarantees include land, construction already performed and client receivables from the financed projects. Gafisa’s pro-forma consolidated cash balance including proceeds from this debenture is over R$1 billion.

The ceiling for units to be eligible for subsidized SFH loans was raised from R$350K to R$500K. In addition, the government has allowed employees to withdraw their FGTS (unemployment severance fund) funds to buy apartments up to R$500K. Those measures benefit Gafisa directly.

Gafisa sold receivables of completed units: Gafisa structured its first securitization of receivables of completed units with immediate net cash proceeds of R$70 million. The Company has approximately R$ 200 million additional receivables that may be available for sale.

2006 debenture covenant negotiation underway: a 2006 debenture covenant established that we could not have net debt over R$1 billion. We are negotiating this covenant with bondholders as we are a much larger company now, and this absolute covenant does not correspond to the current size of our company, specially when compared to our consolidated equity position.

Gafisa agreed to transfer Cotia development to Tenda: In the beginning of May, Gafisa and Tenda agreed to transfer the Cotia project, which was originally part of the Bairro Novo joint venture with Odebrecht to Tenda at book value of R$42.5 million. The transaction is subject to due diligence expected to last 30 days. The 5-phase project comprises 2,338 units with R$ 191 million PSV. The first phase of 574 units has already been delivered. Tenda expects to achieve further economies of scale through the integration of this type of development into its portfolio.

1Q09 - Revenues 

Net operating revenues for 1Q09 rose 59% to R$541.9 million from R$340.9 million in 1Q08.

Revenues for the industry are recognized based on actual cost versus total budgeted costs of land and construction (Percentage of Completion method or PoC method) and the pre-sales portfolio is recognized in future periods even if the company has already completely pre-sold developments.

The table below presents detailed information of pre-sales and recognized revenues by launch year:

1Q09 - Gross Profits 

Gross profits for 1Q09 totaled R$154.6 million (R$110.1 million for 1Q08), an increase of 40%, reflecting continued growth. Gross margin for 1Q09 was 28.5%, 380 basis points lower than 1Q08, in part because of a 124% increase in capitalized interest expensed through cost of goods sold, from R$7.9 million in 1Q08 to R$17.7 million in 1Q09. Capitalized interest during the quarter decreased 5%.

1Q09 – Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

1Q09 - Depreciation and Amortization 

Depreciation and amortization in 1Q09 amounted to R$8.0 million, compared to the R$9.4 million in 1Q08. We no longer amortize goodwill because a new accounting rule requires the assessment of such assets on a yearly basis only to determine a reserve for impairment.

Income taxes, social contribution and deferred taxes for 1Q09 amounted to R$16.3 million versus R$13.6 million in 1Q08, a growth in line with the company’s operations. The effective tax rate was 25% in 2009 and 24% in 2008.

Debentures 

Our 2006 debenture established that we could not have net debt over R$1 billion. We are negotiating this covenant with bondholders as we are a much larger company now, and this absolute covenant does not correspond to the current size and equity position of our company. Our other covenants were not impacted by the growth of the company, since they are based on relative measures.

2006 Debenture Covenant    Position as of 
    March 31, 2009 
(Total Debt – SFH financing – Cash) / Equity 0.75x    0.41x 
(Total Receivables + Inventory of Completed Units) / Total Debt 2.0x    3.6x 
Total Debt – Cash < R$ 1 billion    R$1.06 billion 
 

Financial Statements    June 30, 2006    March 31, 2009 
Cash    422.8    500.8 
Equity + Minorities    807.6    2,199.8 
Total Assets    1,406.6    5,725.8 
Equity / R$1 billion covenant    0.8x    2.2x 
 

This covenant is under negotiation with debenture holders and does not breach any other financial obligation of the company. The dates for assessment of this covenant are June and December of each year.

Outlook 

Based on current market outlook, Gafisa’s consolidated sales for the full year 2009 is expected to be between R$2.7 and R$3.2 billion. Gafisa is expected to account for between R$1.0 - 1.2 billion, Tenda for R$1.4 - R$1.6 billion and Alphaville from R$0.3 – R$0.4 billion. Consolidated EBITDA margin is expected to be in the range of 16% - 17%, while EBITDA margin for Tenda is expected to be between 14% - 16%. We will continue to launch new developments in accordance with demand and our cash position. Given recent announcements that are expected to impact the rate of demand for housing as well as builders ability to access financing, we are monitoring the scenario closely and may update these numbers during the year.

Glossary

Backlog of Results – As a result of the Percentage of Completion Method of recognizing revenues, we recognize revenues and expenses over a multi-year period for each residential unit we sell. Our backlog of results represents revenues minus costs that will be incurred in future periods from past sales.

Backlog of Revenues – As a result of the Percentage of Completion Method of recognizing revenues, we recognize revenues over a multi-year period for each residential unit we sell. Our backlog represents revenues that will be incurred in future periods from past sales.

Backlog Margin – Equals to “Backlog of results” divided “Backlog of Revenues” to be recognized in future periods.

Land Bank – Land that Gafisa holds for future development paid either in Cash or through swap agreements. Each decision to acquire land is analyzed by our investment committee and approved by our board of directors.

PoC Method – Under Brazilian GAAP, real estate development revenues, costs and related expenses are recognized using percentage-of-completion (“PoC”) method of accounting by measuring progress towards completion in terms of actual costs incurred versus total budgeted expenditures for each stage of a development.

Pre-sales – Contracted pre-sales are the aggregate amount of sales resulting from all agreements for the sale of units entered into during a certain period, including new units and units in inventory. Contracted pre-sales will be recorded as revenue as construction progresses (PoC method). There is no definition of "contracted pre-sales'' under Brazilian GAAP.

HIG (High Income) – segment with residential units sold at minimum price of R$3,600 per square meter.

MHI (Mid-High) – segment with residential units sold at prices ranging from R$2,800 to 3,600 per square meter.

MID (Middle Income) – segment with residential units sold at prices ranging from R$2,300 to 2,800 per square meter.

MID (Mid-Low) – segment with residential units sold at prices ranging from R$1,800 to 2,300 per square meter.

AEL (Affordable Entry Level) residential units targeted to the mid-low and low income segments with prices below R$1,800 per square meter.

LOT (Urbanized Lots) – land subdivisions, or lots, with prices ranging from R$150 to R$600 per square meter

COM (Commercial buildings) – Commercial and corporate units developed only for sale with prices ranging from R$3,000 to R$7,000 per square meter.

SFH Funds – Funds from SFH are originated from the Governance Severance Indemnity Fund for Employees (FGTS) and from savings accounts deposits. Banks are required to invest 65% of the total savings accounts balance in the housing sector, either to final customers or developers, at lower interest rates than the private market.

Swap Agreements – A system in which we grant the land-owner a certain number of units to be built on the land or a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of units in such development in exchange for the land. By acquiring land through this system, we intend to reduce our cash requirements and increase our returns.

PSV – Potential Sales Value.
