validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Kentucky, duly
authorized to carry on the business presently conducted by it. The Company is
qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is not required to
be qualified to do business in any other jurisdiction where the failure to be so

consisting of 20,000 shares of common stock, with no par value, of which 100
shares are issued and outstanding and no shares are held in its treasury. The

agreements which may require it now or in the future, to issue or to transfer
from its treasury any additional shares of its capital stock.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES. The Company owns a 50% interest in
Appalachian Mouldings & Millwork LLC ("AMM") and the transfer of the Common

AMM. Other than AMM, the Company has no subsidiaries and owns no interest in any
corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity.
(d) DUE ISSUANCE. All the issued and outstanding shares of the
capital stock of the Company have been properly issued, and are fully paid and

DAUGHERTY RESOURCES COMPLETES SALE OF RED RIVER HARDWOODS
LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY, December 8, 1999. Daugherty Resources (Nasdaq: NGAS)
announced today that it has completed the sale of Red River Hardwoods, Inc., an
80% owned subsidiary, to H&S Lumber, Clay City, Kentucky.
Red River Hardwoods, a hardwood dimension production facility located
in Clay City, Kentucky, was Daugherty's only entry into the wood products
business. "The sale of Red River for $537,000 and the purchaser's assumption of
Red River liabilities increases shareholders' equity in the parent company by
approximately $1.4 million and will result in a significant reduction of our
operating losses", stated Daugherty's CEO William S. Daugherty. "It also allows
our management team to concentrate on our strategy of increasing our oil and gas
assets."
Mr. Daugherty continued, "Red River losses in 1998 exceeded $600,000.
With the elimination of Red River's ongoing losses and the added revenue from
two recent acquisitions, our financial performance should improve by about
$80,000 per month."
The sale of Red River Hardwoods, Inc. was effective June 30, 1999.
Accordingly, the Company plans to restate its financial statements for the
second and third quarters of 1999 to reflect the sale.
Daugherty Resources is a natural resources development company with
interests in oil & gas development and gold mining prospects.
