INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
   Quicksilver Resources Inc.

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:

   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
and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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:

<PAGE>

      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.
