unit

the prior-year quarter

"Revenues grew more than 150%, as anticipated, due to increased
gathering and processing volumes from Quicksilver Resources and
third-party producers," said Toby Darden, Quicksilver Gas Services
president and chief executive officer. "Our continued focus on
stringent cost control enabled us to fully realize the value from
the higher throughput volumes resulting in an increase of more than
160% in net income. As a result, our distributable cash flow
increased to support an additional 11% increase in our quarterly
distribution."
Gathered volumes increased to 17,127 million cubic feet (MMcf)
in the second quarter of 2008, up 159% from 6,613 MMcf in the
prior-year quarter. Processed volumes increased 137% to 14,593 MMcf
in the second quarter of 2008 from 6,154 MMcf in the 2007 quarter.
Volumes from third parties made up 21% and 20% of the total
gathered and processed volumes for the second quarter of 2008,
respectively. For the second quarter of 2008 the company realized
an average of $.516 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) gathered and
$.627 per Mcf processed.
Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2008 totaled
$26.8 million, including $.5 million for maintenance capital and
the remainder for organic growth projects. In addition, the company
accrued $19.7 million of capital associated with the repurchase
obligation to Quicksilver Resources Inc. Expenditures during the
quarter included the connection of approximately 32 miles of
gathering lines and 57 new wells to the gathering system from
Quicksilver Resources, as well as the ongoing construction of a new
processing facility that is expected to become operational during
the first quarter of 2009, increasing processing capacity 62.5% to
a total of 325 MMcf per day.
For the second quarter of 2008, the unit distribution rate for
