INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
 Quicksilver Resources Inc.
Fort Worth, Texas

We have audited the accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating
expenses of CMS Oil & Gas Company's Michigan properties, as described in Note 1,
for the three years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses reflect
the revenues and direct operating expenses attributable to CMS Oil & Gas
Company's Michigan properties, as described in Note 2, and are not intended to
be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of CMS Oil & Gas
Company's Michigan properties.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of CMS Oil &
Gas Company's Michigan properties, as described in Note 1, for the three years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

CMS OIL & GAS COMPANY'S MICHIGAN PROPERTIES

NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. THE PROPERTIES

   The accompanying statements represent the revenues and direct operating
   expenses attributable to the net interest in CMS Oil & Gas Company's Michigan
   properties (the "Michigan Properties") in producing wells and certain non-
   producing leases sold to Quicksilver Resources Inc. ("Quicksilver").  The
   total purchase price, including related affiliated companies, was
   approximately $164 million, as adjusted, and the properties are located in
   the state of Michigan.  The acquisition was effective as of January 1, 2000,
   and closed on March 31, 2000.  These acquired properties and their related
   operations are included in Quicksilver's consolidated financial statements
   from the date of closing.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The historical financial statements reflecting financial position, results of
   operations and cash flows required by accounting principles generally
   accepted in the United States of America are not presented, since such
   information is neither readily available on an individual property basis nor
   meaningful for the properties acquired because the entire acquisition cost is
   being assigned to oil and gas properties.  Accordingly, the statements of
   revenues and direct operating expenses are presented in lieu of the financial
   statements required under Rule 3-05 of Securities and Exchange Commission
   ("SEC") Regulation S-X.

   The accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating expenses
   represent CMS Oil & Gas Company's net ownership interest in the properties
   acquired by Quicksilver and are presented on the successful efforts basis of
   accounting.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization; allocated general and
   administrative expenses; interest expense and income; and income taxes have
   been excluded because the property interest acquired represents only a
   portion of a business, and the expenses incurred are not necessarily
   indicative of the expenses to be incurred by Quicksilver.

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
   principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
   management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount
   of certain revenues for the reported period.  Estimates and assumptions are
   also required in the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of
   the date of the financial statements.  Actual results may differ from such
   estimates.

3. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

   Given the nature of the properties acquired and as stipulated in the purchase
   agreement, Quicksilver is subject to loss contingencies, if any, pursuant to
   existing or expected environmental laws, regulations and leases covering the
   acquired properties.

4. OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

   Unaudited reserve information related to the properties acquired is presented
   in the table below.  Proved oil and gas reserves have been estimated by
   Quicksilver's independent petroleum

                                       5
<PAGE>

   engineers as of January 1, 2000, and by CMS Oil & Gas Company's independent
   petroleum engineers at January 1, 1999, 1998 and 1997, in accordance with
   guidelines established by the SEC.  Accordingly, the following reserve
   estimates are based upon economic and operating conditions existing as of
   each date.

   There are numerous uncertainties inherent in establishing quantities of
   proved reserves.  The following reserve data represent estimates only and
   should not be construed as being exact.  In addition, the present values
   should not be construed as the current market value of the Michigan
   Properties or the cost that would be incurred to obtain equivalent reserves.

   Estimated Reserves - Reserve quantities were estimated by Quicksilver's
   independent petroleum engineers as of January 1, 2000, and by CMS Oil & Gas
   Company's independent petroleum engineers at January 1, 1999, 1998 and 1997.
   Changes in the estimated net quantities of crude oil and natural gas
   reserves, all of which are located in the continental United States, are as
   follows:


                                                     Gas            Oil

   Standardized Measure - The following tables present the Michigan Properties'
   standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows and changes therein
   relating to proved oil and gas reserves and were computed using reserve
   valuations based on regulations prescribed by the SEC.

   These regulations provide that the oil, condensate and gas price structure
   utilized to project future net cash flows reflects current prices at each
   date presented and has been escalated only when known and determinable price
   changes are provided by contract.  Future production, development and net
   abandonment costs are based on current costs without escalation.  The
   resulting net future cash flows have been discounted to their present values
   based on a 10% annual discount factor the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998
   and 1997, in thousands, as follows:

   Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying year-end prices of oil
   and gas to year-end quantities of proved reserves.  Estimated future
   development and production costs are determined by estimating the
   expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and
   gas reserves in future years, based on year-end costs and assuming
   continuation of existing economic conditions.

   These estimates are furnished and calculated in accordance with requirements
   of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC.  Because of
   unpredictable variances in expenses and capital forecasts, crude oil and
   natural gas price changes, and the fact that the bases for such estimates
   vary significantly, management believes the usefulness of these projections
   is limited.  Estimates of future net cash flows do not necessarily represent
   management's assessment of future profitability or future cash flows for the
   Michigan Properties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Quicksilver Resources Inc.
Fort Worth, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Terra Energy,
Ltd. (the "Company") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999.  These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1999

TERRA ENERGY, LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

   Terra Energy, Ltd. ("Terra") and its affiliates, Terra Pipeline Company
   ("TPC"), Kristen Corporation ("Kristen") and Energy Acquisition Company
   ("EAC"), are wholly owned subsidiaries of CMS Oil & Gas Company ("CMS").  CMS
   is a wholly owned subsidiary of CMS Energy Corporation ("CMS Energy"),
   located in Dearborn, Michigan.  Terra, along with its named affiliates, is
   engaged in the acquisition, exploration, production and sale of natural gas,
   crude oil and condensate and the gathering, processing and transmission of
   natural gas.  Terra currently has an interest in natural gas and crude oil
   mineral leases and hydrocarbon-producing wells that are located principally
   in the state of Michigan.

   The consolidated financial statements include the named affiliates, referred
   to collectively as the "Company."  Investments in affiliated companies (20%
   to 50% owned) are accounted for using the equity method.  Material
   intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

2. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

   On March 5, 2000, CMS entered into a purchase and sale agreement with
   Quicksilver Resources Inc. ("Quicksilver"), whereby CMS agreed to sell
   substantially all of the assets of the Company and other CMS oil and gas
   properties in Michigan to Quicksilver for approximately $164 million, subject
   to adjustments.  The agreement was effective as of January 1, 2000, and
   closed on March 31, 2000.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid
   investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
   equivalents.

   Accounts Receivable - The Company's customers are large oil and natural gas
   purchasers.  The Company does not require collateral, and receivables are
   generally due in 30 to 60 days.  When collections of specific amounts due are
   no longer reasonably ensured, an allowance for doubtful accounts is
   established.

   Major Customers - At December 31, 1999, two purchasers accounted for
   approximately 80% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's total consolidated
   oil and gas sales.  The Company does not anticipate that the loss of any of
   its present purchasers would adversely affect the Company's consolidated
   business.  The Company also believes that, in the event of a loss of a
   present purchaser, other oil and gas purchasers located in the Company's
   areas of production would offer competitive prices for such production.

   Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-
   out method) or market and consist of crude oil in tanks and well equipment
   spare parts and supplies.

   Properties, Plant and Equipment - The Company's oil and gas producing
   activities are accounted for using the successful efforts method of
   accounting in accordance with Statement of

                                       13
<PAGE>

   Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 19, "Financial Accounting and
   Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies." In accordance with SFAS No.
   19, the Company capitalizes the cost of property acquisitions, successful
   exploratory wells, all development costs, and support equipment and
   facilities when incurred. It expenses unsuccessful exploratory wells when
   they are determined to be nonproductive. The Company also charges to expense
   production costs, overhead and all exploration costs other than exploratory
   drilling as incurred.

   Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization - Depreciation and depletion of
   producing oil and gas properties are computed using the unit-of-production
   method based on estimated proved developed reserves determined by the
   Company's petroleum engineers.  Office, computer and automotive equipment is
   depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated lives ranging from
   5 to 10 years.

   In accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
   Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," the future anticipated
   cash flow expected to be generated by an asset is compared to the carrying
   value of that asset.  If the expected cash flow exceeds the carrying value of
   the asset, no adjustment is required.  If the carrying value exceeds the
   future cash flow, the carrying value is reduced to reflect impairment.  The
   impairment loss is recorded as an expense in the current period.  The Company
   recorded impairment expenses of $720,000 during 1999, which is included in
   depletion, depreciation and amortization.

   Joint Venture Operations - Certain of the Company's exploration and
   development activities relating to oil and gas are conducted jointly with
   others.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect only the
   Company's proportionate interest in such activities.

   Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue as quantities of oil and
   gas are sold or volumes of gas are transported to the buyer, and utilizes the
   sales method of accounting for oil and gas imbalances. The Company's net
   imbalance was immaterial at December 31, 1999.

   Environmental Compliance and Remediation - Environmental compliance costs,
   including ongoing maintenance and monitoring, are expensed as incurred.
   Environmental remediation costs, which improve the condition of a property,
   are capitalized.

   Income Taxes - Deferred taxes are established for all temporary differences
   between the book and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at rates that
   will be in effect in the years the temporary differences are expected to
   reverse.

   Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company's financial
   instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes
   receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt.  The carrying amounts
   reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for financial assets and the
   carrying amounts for financial liabilities approximate fair value due to the
   maturities, nature and interest rates of such instruments.

   Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
   with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
   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 financial statements, as well as
   the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
   Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Comprehensive Income - Comprehensive income is the same as net income.

                                       14
<PAGE>

   Recently Issued Accounting Standards - The Financial Accounting Standards
   Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
   Activities" which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
   2000.  This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
   derivative instruments and for hedging activities.

10. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

    Supplemental Information for Oil and Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited) -
    Proved oil and gas reserves have been estimated by Quicksilver's independent
    petroleum engineers as of January 1, 2000, and by CMS Oil & Gas Company's
    independent petroleum engineers at January 1, 1999, 1998 and 1997, in
    accordance with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange
    Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, the following reserve estimates are based
    upon economic and operating conditions existing as of each date.

    There are numerous uncertainties inherent in establishing quantities of
    proved reserves. The following reserve data represent estimates only and
    should not be construed as being exact. In addition, the present values
    should not be construed as the current market value of the Company's oil and
    gas properties or the cost that would be incurred to obtain equivalent
    reserves.

    Estimated Reserves - Changes in the estimated net quantities of crude oil
    and natural gas reserves, all of which are located in the continental United
    States, are as follows:

   The significant revision of estimates for the change in the estimated natural
   gas reserves in 1998 is primarily due to the decline in gas prices during
   1998, making it uneconomical for the Company to produce those reserves.

   The revision of estimates in 1999 is a result of significant proved developed
   and proved undeveloped reserves estimated to be produced subsequent to 2014.

   Standardized Measure - The following tables present the Company's
   standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows and changes therein
   relating to proved oil and gas reserves and were computed using reserve
   valuations based on regulations prescribed by the SEC.

   These regulations provide that the oil, condensate and gas price structure
   utilized to project future net cash flows reflects current prices at each
   date presented and has been escalated only when known and determinable price
   changes are provided by contract.  Future production, development and net
   abandonment costs are based on current costs without escalation.  The
   resulting net future cash flows have been discounted to their present values
   based on a 10% annual discount factor for the years ended December 31, 1999,
   1998 and 1997, as follows (in thousands).

   Estimated future cash inflows are computed by applying year-end prices of oil
   and gas to year-end quantities of proved reserves.  Estimated future
   development and production costs are determined by estimating the
   expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and
   gas reserves in future years, based on year-end costs and assuming
   continuation of existing economic conditions.

   These estimates are furnished and calculated in accordance with requirements
   of the FASB and the SEC.  Because of unpredictable variances in expenses and
   capital forecasts, crude oil and natural gas price changes, and the fact that
   the bases for such estimates vary significantly, management believes the
   usefulness of these projections is limited.  Estimates of future net cash
   flows do not necessarily represent management's assessment of future
   profitability or future cash flows to the Company.

   Costs incurred in oil and gas property acquisition, exploration and
   development activities for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
   totaled $1,536, $7,397 and $2,964, respectively, in thousands.

   Capitalized costs for oil and gas properties at December 31, 1999, 1998 and
   1997, are as follows (in thousands):

CONDENSED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF INCOME
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND THE
TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
(In thousands)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   On March 31, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition from CMS Oil & Gas
   Company, a subsidiary of CMS Energy Corporation, of CMS properties located
   primarily in Michigan for $164 million, subject to subsequent adjustments.
   The CMS properties consist of interests in approximately 3,050 gross (650
   net) producing oil and gas wells located on approximately 512,000 gross
   (450,000 net) acres.  Holditch-Reservoir Technologies Consulting Services, a
   Schlumberger company, estimated proved reserves attributable to the CMS
   acquisition of 315.1 Bcf of natural gas and 747.8 Mbbls of crude oil and
   condensate, and 143.9 Mbbls of natural gas liquids, or a total of 320.4 Bcfe
   with an estimated SEC PV-10 value as of January 1, 2000 of $184.0 million.
   Approximately 81% of the proved reserve volumes is classified as proved
   developed.  Current daily production from the CMS properties is estimated to
   be 49 Mmcfe.

   Financing for the acquisition was accomplished through restructuring
   Quicksilver's senior bank facility, the sale of $43 million in Subordinated
   Notes, and the monetization of $25 million of the accompanying Section 29 tax
   credits to a major financial institution.

   The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase accounting method, and
   consists of both CMS producing properties as well as common stock of Terra
   Energy Ltd.

   The following summary pro forma financial information gives the effect of the
   acquisition on the Company's historical income statements as though the
   acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.
   Adjustments were made to reflect a combined depletion rate, incremental
   general administrative expense and interest expense on acquisition debt.
