Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported, in November 2007, Quicksilver Resources Inc. (the “Company”) completed the divestiture (the “Divestiture”) of all of its property interests in Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky (the “Northeast Operations”) to BreitBurn Operating Partners L.P. Net cash proceeds received from the Divestiture were approximately $740.0 million, as reduced by $10.0 million of transaction costs.

Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company’s U.S. exploration and production assets are considered a single asset. The Divestiture, therefore, represents a fractional divestiture of a single asset, which precludes reporting the Northeast Operations’ financial position and results of operations as discontinued operations within the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2007 have been prepared based on the historical consolidated statements of income of the Company for such periods and are presented to illustrate the effects of the Divestiture on the Company’s historical operating results for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2007 as though the Divestiture had been completed on January 1, 2007. The Divestiture has been fully reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, but is reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of income only after the date on which the Divestiture was completed. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s actual results of operations would have been had the Divestiture been completed on January 1, 2007. The preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income required the use of estimates. Although the Company believes the estimates used provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the disposition, actual results could differ from the estimates used. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income do not give effect to the Company’s results of operations or other transactions or developments since December 31, 2007.

The foregoing matters and other factors identified in the documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause the Company’s future results of operations to differ materially from those presented in the following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income.
