                            LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY 40509


To Our Shareholders:

         You are cordially invited to attend the 1999 Annual General Meeting of
the Shareholders of Daugherty Resources, Inc. (the "Meeting") to be held at 625
Howe Street, Suite 700, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on June 30,1999 at
10:00 a.m., Vancouver, British Columbia time.

         In addition to fixing the number of directors of the Company for the
coming year, electing directors to serve for the coming year and ratifying the
appointment of independent public accountants for the Company for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 1999, your approval is requested for the matters
described below which the Board of Directors of the Company is proposing to the
shareholders at the Meeting. These transactions will mark significant events in
the Company's plans for continued growth and diversification.

         Asset Acquisition. On January 26, 1999, the Company and Daugherty
Petroleum, Inc., the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an
Agreement for Purchase and Sale with a group of partnerships led by
Environmental Energy, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Daugherty
Petroleum, Inc. will purchase a significant number of producing and
non-producing oil and gas leaseholds, including related pipelines, equipment and
other interests, located in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Louisiana. As consideration
for the assets, the Company will issue to the sellers an equity package
consisting of the Company's Limited Series Non-Cumulative, Non-Voting Preferred
Stock and warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock at various exercise
prices.

         The assets to be acquired by Daugherty Petroleum, Inc. pursuant to the
Agreement for Purchase and Sale are expected to enhance the Company's current
portfolio of proved oil and gas producing wells and serve to bolster its
inventory of properties held for future development. Management believes that
the decision to enter into the Agreement for Purchase and Sale is consistent
with the Company's strategy of balancing developmental drilling efforts with
strategic acquisitions of proved properties.

         In connection with the approval of the Agreement for Purchase and Sale,
the shareholders will be asked to approve an amendment to the Memorandum and
Articles of the Company that modifies the designation of the rights and
characteristics of the existing Preferred Stock to be consistent with the
description of the Limited Series NonCumulative, Non-Voting Preferred Stock to
be issued pursuant to the Agreement for Purchase and Sale.

         Convertible Note Financing. Management is also seeking shareholder
approval for a proposed issuance of the Company's 10% Convertible Secured Notes
("Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes will be offered to a limited number
of investors in a private offering to be conducted in reliance on Regulation D
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company plans to raise a maximum
of $3,500,000 to fund present and future drilling, recovery and acquisition
activities. In particular, the Company is seeking to use a majority of the
proceeds generated to finance its ongoing natural gas drilling operations in the
Appalachian Basin.

         Increasing the Authorized Capital Stock. Finally, management is
proposing an amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of the Company to effect
an increase of the Company's authorized capital stock (the "Capital Stock
Amendment"). The increase would result in an authorized capital stock of
105,000,000 shares, comprised of 100,000,000 shares of the Common Stock and
5,000,000 shares of the Preferred Stock. While authorization of the additional
shares is not required for the Company to engage in either the Agreement for
Purchase and Sale or the Convertible Note financing, and management is not
presently negotiating any transactions that would involve the issuance of the
additional shares to be authorized, management believes that increasing the
capital stock of the Company would offer the Company the opportunity to act in
the event future equity financings or other transactional opportunities are
presented to the Company.

         For the reasons set forth in the enclosed Proxy Statement, your Board
of Directors unanimously believes that the transactions involving the Agreement
for Purchase and Sale, the Convertible Note Financing and the Capital Stock
Amendment are in the best interests of the Company and all of its shareholders.
Therefore, we strongly urge you to vote FOR approval of the Agreement for
Purchase and Sale, the Convertible Note Financing and the Capital Stock
Amendment.

         The Proxy Statement provides a detailed description of the Agreement
for Purchase and Sale, the Convertible Note financing, the Capital Stock
Amendment and other information to assist you in considering the matters to be
voted on at the Meeting. We encourage you to review this information carefully
and, if you require assistance, to consult with your financial, tax or other
professional advisers.

         Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, we ask that you indicate
the manner in which you wish your shares to be voted and sign and return your
proxy as promptly as possible in the enclosed envelope so that your vote may be
recorded. You may vote your shares in person if you attend the Meeting, even if
you send in your proxy.

         We appreciate your continued interest in Daugherty Resources, Inc.

                                          Very truly yours,

                                         /s/ William S. Daugherty

                                         William S. Daugherty,
                                         Chairman of the Board and President,

                  directors (Item 2). There will be no cumulative voting in the
                  election of directors.

         -        A simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting is required
                  to approve the fixing of the number of directors for the
                  ensuing year at three (Item 1), the ratification of Kraft,

         Under British Columbia law, abstentions are treated as present and
entitled to vote and thus will be counted in determining whether a quorum is
present and will have the effect of a vote against a matter, except the election
of directors as to which they will have no effect.

         Management proposes to fix the number of directors of the Company at
three for the ensuing year.

VOTE REQUIRED

         The affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of shares of the

year.

OF DIRECTORS FOR THE ENSUING YEAR AT THREE.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

         During fiscal year 1998, the Board of Directors held three meetings and
approved actions on three separate occasions by unanimous consent without formal
meetings. The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee and
Nominating Committee to oversee specific matters affecting the Company.

         COMMITTEES. The Company does not have an Executive Committee. The
Company is required to have an Audit Committee of which the current members are
William S. Daugherty, James K. Klyman and Charles L. Cotterell. The Audit
Committee held one meeting during fiscal 1998. The Audit Committee meets with
the Company's independent accountants to review the Company's accounting
policies, internal controls and other accounting and auditing matters; makes
recommendations to the Board as to the engagement of independent accountants;
and reviews the letter of engagement and statement of fees relating to the scope
of the annual audit and special audit work which may be recommended or required
by the independent accountants.

         The Nominating Committee, currently composed of William S. Daugherty
and Charles L. Cotterell, held one meeting during fiscal 1998. The functions
performed by the Nominating Committee include selecting candidates to fill
vacancies on the Board of Directors, reviewing the structure and composition of
the Board, and considering qualifications requisite for continuing Board
service. The Nominating Committee will consider candidates recommended by a
shareholder of the Company. Any such recommendation for the 2000 Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders should be provided to the Corporate Secretary of the
Company by March 2, 2000.

         During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, each director attended
all meetings of the Company's Board of Directors and the respective Committees
on which he served.

         COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION. The
Company does not have a Compensation Committee or other Board committee
performing an equivalent function. In establishing compensa tion levels, the
Board of Directors has endeavored to ensure the compensation programs for the
Company's executive officers were effective in attracting and retaining key
executives responsible for the success of the Company and were administered in
an appropriate fashion in the long-term best interests of the Company and its
shareholders. In that regard, the Board of Directors sought to align total
compensation for the Company's executive officers with the performance of the
Company and the individual performance of each executive officer in assisting
the Company in accomplishing its goals.

         Unless otherwise indicated, all references to dollars throughout this
Proxy Statement shall mean United States dollars.

         All actions of the Board with respect to Mr. Daugherty's compensation
are taken without his involvement. Mr. Daugherty and Charles L. Cotterell, one
of the directors of the Company, participated in deliberations concerning other
officer and key employee base compensation, while bonuses and incentive stock
options are authorized by the action of the entire Board of Directors.

         BASE SALARY. The Board's policy with respect to 1998 base salaries for
executive officers was generally to keep them at appropriate levels in light of
what was customary in the industry. Mr. Daugherty's base compensation has not
been increased since September 1993. In 1996, Mr. Daugherty's annual salary was
reduced to $75,000.

         STOCK OPTIONS. The Board of Directors believes that to achieve the
Company's long-term growth objectives and to align management and its
shareholders' interests, it is in the best interest of the Company from time to
time to grant stock options to key members of its management and staff.
Consequently, on March 7, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to the
approval of the shareholders of the Company, a Stock Option Plan under Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Stock Option Plan is
administered by a Committee appointed by the Board of Directors, the members of
which are to be "Non-Employee Directors" as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The members of
the Committee are James K. Klyman and Charles L. Cotterell. The Stock Option
Plan provides that 600,000 shares of the Common Stock are to be the subject of
stock options, 400,000 of which are reserved for Mr. Daugherty, and the
remaining 200,000 reserved for other employees of the Company as may be
determined by the Committee.

DAUGHERTY, JAMES K. KLYMAN AND CHARLES L. COTTERELL AS DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY.

       ITEM 3: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

         Subject to shareholder ratification, the Board of Directors has
appointed Kraft, Rothman, Berger, Grill, Schwartz & Cohen, a Toronto, Ontario

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE
SELECTION OF KRAFT, ROTHMAN, BERGER, GRILL, SCHWARTZ & COHEN AS THE COMPANY'S
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1999.

             ITEM 4: RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE

PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT

         On November 3, 1997, management of the Company and Environmental
Energy, Inc. ("EEI") executed an Agreement for the Acquisition of Certain Oil
and Gas Interests (the "Preliminary Agreement") by which the Company manifested
its intent to purchase certain oil and gas interests and related assets owned by
EEI and its affiliates. At the time the Preliminary Agreement was executed, the
final terms of the proposed asset transaction, including the identification of
specific oil and gas interests, the valuation of such interests, and the terms
of purchase, had yet to be negotiated by the parties.

         As consideration for the transfer of the assets to the Company pursuant
to the Preliminary Agreement, management proposed to issue a combination of
warrants for the purchase of shares of the Common Stock and shares of the
Company's Preferred Stock to EEI.

         In anticipation of consummating the transaction contemplated under the
Preliminary Agreement, management proposed, and the shareholders approved, an
amendment to the Company's Memorandum and Articles to expand the Company's
equity structure. The amendment was formally approved at the 1998 Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders and created a class of 6,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock (subsequently reduced to 1,200,000 shares pursuant to a one share for five
share capital consolidation).

AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE

         On January 26, 1999, Daugherty Petroleum, Inc., as purchaser, and the
Company, as accommodation party, entered into that certain Agreement for
Purchase and Sale with EEI, Environmental Energy Partners I, Ltd., Environmental
Energy Partners II, Ltd., Environmental Operating Partners, Ltd., Environmental
Processing Partners, Ltd., Environmental Holding Company, LLC, and Environmental
Operating, Inc. (collectively, the "Sellers") to effect the transaction
originally contemplated by the Preliminary Agreement. A copy of the Agreement




                                        5

<PAGE>   11



for Purchase and Sale has been filed as an exhibit to a Form 8-K filed by the
Company on May 25, 1999 with respect to the transaction.

         Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement for Purchase and Sale,
Daugherty Petroleum, Inc. will acquire a significant number of producing and
non-producing oil and gas leaseholds, including related equipment and other
interests, located in Kentucky, Tennessee and Louisiana. The transaction will be
accounted for as a purchase transaction.

         As consideration for the sale of the assets pursuant to the Agreement
for Purchase and Sale, the Company will issue to the Sellers the following
securities:

         1,024,924 SHARES OF LIMITED SERIES NON-CUMULATIVE, NON-VOTING PREFERRED
STOCK. In addition to being non-voting and having other general characteristics
to be established by the Board of Directors, the Preferred Stock will be:

         -        Convertible by the Sellers into shares of the Common Stock, on
                  a share for share basis, at any time within a period of two
                  years from the date of issuance. Upon the expiration of the
                  two year period, all unconverted shares of the Preferred Stock
                  will automatically convert into shares of the Common Stock. In
                  addition, the Sellers will receive a conversion bonus of
                  shares of the Common Stock equal to 12 percent of the number
                  of shares of the Preferred Stock unconverted on the second
                  anniversary date; or

         -        Convertible by the Company if the last sales price of the
                  Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 for at least 20 trading
                  days and proper notice of conversion is provided to the
                  holder. In the event the Company elects to convert, the
                  Sellers will receive a conversion bonus of shares of the
                  Common Stock equal to one half of one percent per month of the
                  number of shares of the Preferred Stock which were converted,
                  times the number of months from issuance of the Preferred
                  Stock to the date of conversion.

         The Sellers will not have any preemptive rights to acquire additional
shares of the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock upon conversion.

         170,821 UNITS OF ACQUISITION WARRANTS. Each single Unit of Acquisition
Warrants consists of the following number and types of warrants to acquire
shares of the Common Stock within a period of five years from the date of
issuance of the warrant:

         -        Two Series A Acquisition Warrants entitling the holder to
                  purchase one share of the Common Stock at a price of $1.75 per
                  share;

         -        One Series B Acquisition Warrant entitling the holder to
                  purchase one share of the Common Stock at a price of $2.00 per
                  share;

         -        One Series C Acquisition Warrant entitling the holder to
                  purchase one share of the Common Stock at a price of $2.50 per
                  share;

         -        One Series D Acquisition Warrant entitling the holder to
                  purchase one share of the Common Stock at a price of $3.00 per
                  share;

         -        One Series E Acquisition Warrant entitling the holder to
                  purchase one share of the Common Stock at a price of $3.50 per
                  share;




                                        6

<PAGE>   12



         -        One Series F Acquisition Warrant entitling the holder to
                  purchase one share of the Common Stock at a price of $4.00 per
                  share; and

         -        One Series G Acquisition Warrant entitling the holder to
                  purchase one share of the Common Stock at a price of $4.50 per
                  share.

         The exercise price of each of the Acquisition Warrants will
automatically be reduced to $1.00 per share during any period the Company's
Common Stock becomes and remains delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

         The Company can redeem each series of Acquisition Warrants, as an
entire series, at a price of $0.05 per Acquisition Warrant if the last sales
price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 200 percent of the exercise price of
the series of Acquisition Warrants being redeemed for 20 consecutive trading
days and proper notice of redemption is provided to the holder. The Company is
not required to establish a sinking fund for the redemption of the shares.

         All shares of the Common Stock acquired by the Sellers pursuant to the
conversion of the Preferred Stock or the Acquisition Warrants will be subject to
the terms of a voting trust until such time as the shares are distributed to the
various interest holders of the Sellers. A panel of trustees will be appointed
by the Sellers to hold title to the shares of the Common Stock and shall have
discretionary authority to vote the same as a majority of the trustees shall
determine. The voting trust shall terminate upon the earlier of distribution or
ten years from the date of its creation.

         While the Company is under no obligation to register the Preferred
Stock or any shares of the Common Stock which may be issued upon the conversion
of the Preferred Stock or the exercise of an Acquisition Warrant, in the event
the Company files a registration statement during the period when the securities
are restricted, the securities will have certain "piggyback" rights to
participate in the registration.

         DILUTIVE EFFECT. The issuance of the Preferred Stock and the
Acquisition Warrants will have a dilutive effect on the present owners of the
Common Stock. Upon full conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Sellers will own
at least 1,024,924 shares of the Common Stock. The holders of the Preferred
Stock will also receive an additional number of shares at the time of conversion
as a bonus depending on the timing and manner of conversion. Excluding the
conversion bonus shares of the Common Stock, but including the shares underlying
the Acquisition Warrants, the Sellers will own approximately 16.8 percent of the
voting stock of the Company, calculated on a current fully diluted basis,
immediately following conversion of the Preferred Stock. Assuming that the
Sellers also fully exercise their rights to purchase shares of the Common Stock
under the Acquisition Warrants, the Sellers' ownership percentage of the Common
Stock could rise to approximately 39.4 percent based on a current fully diluted
calculation.

         FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Company employed the independent public
accounting firm of Hall, Kistler & Company, LLP to prepare an audited report
regarding the combined statement of revenues and direct operating expenses for
the oil and gas interests to be acquired by the Company pursuant to the
Agreement for Purchase and Sale. The report covers the fiscal period ended
December 31, 1998 and is attached hereto as Exhibit A. In addition, the Company
has prepared pro forma financial information, consisting of a pro forma
consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operation, taking into
account the effects of the Agreement for Purchase and Sale on the financial
condition of the Company. A copy of the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial
Statements (Unaudited) are attached hereto as Exhibit B.

         FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION; ACCOUNTING
TREATMENT. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the transaction will be treated
as a taxable asset acquisition by Daugherty Petroleum, Inc., the Company's
wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, using the stock of its parent as consideration for
the assets to be acquired. Daugherty Petroleum, Inc. will be treated as
acquiring the stock of the Company immediately before the purchase either as a
contribution to capital or in a IRC sec.351 exchange. Therefore, Daugherty
Petroleum, Inc. will take a carryover basis in the Company's stock, which is
deemed to be zero. When Daugherty Petroleum, Inc. transfers (or is treated as
transferring) the parent stock in exchange for the assets, there is some risk
that Daugherty Petroleum will recognize gain on the transfer in an amount equal
to the value of the assets to be acquired. This is



                                        7

<PAGE>   13



due to the fact that the provisions of IRC sec.1032, which extend
non-recognition treatment to corporations on the sale of their own stock, will
not specifically apply to subsidiaries in the transfer of the stock of a parent
until the finalization of Proposed Treasury Regulation secs .1.1032-3.
Nevertheless, any gain attributable to the Company as a result of the
acquisition will likely be offset by operating loss carryforwards and, as such,
will have no economic impact on the Company or Daugherty Petroleum, Inc.

         The Company is not aware of any additional federal or state regulatory
requirements that must be complied with or any approvals that must be obtained
from any governmental agencies as a condition precedent to the transaction.

         PURPOSE FOR TRANSACTION. The assets to be acquired by Daugherty
Petroleum, Inc. pursuant to the Agreement for Purchase and Sale will enhance the
Company's current portfolio of proved oil and gas producing wells and serve to
bolster its inventory of properties held for future development. Management
believes that the decision to enter into the Agreement for Purchase and Sale is
consistent with the Company's strategy of balancing developmental drilling
efforts with strategic acquisitions of proved properties. In addition,
management believes that the amount of consideration to be provided to the
Sellers in connection with the acquisition is reasonable and represents a fair
value for such interests.

         The acquisition also allows the Company to expand its production base
to other oil and gas basins. The Louisiana properties allow the Company to
establish a production base while learning the intricacies of producing in other
areas. This new knowledge will better equip management in evaluating other
opportunities in this areas.

VOTE REQUIRED

         Rule 4310 of the Marketplace Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market requires
the Company to obtain shareholder approval of a transaction involving the
issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of assets of another
company when, as in this case, where, due to the present or potential issuance
of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock,
the common stock has or will have upon issuance voting power equal to or in
excess of 20 percent of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of
stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock. Based on
the requirements of Rule 4310, an affirmative vote of a majority of the total
number of shares of the Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy
at the Meeting is required to approve the Agreement for Purchase and Sale.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE
AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE.

      ITEM 5: DESIGNATION OF CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PREFERRED STOCK

         Upon shareholder approval of the Agreement for Purchase and Sale, the
shareholders will be asked to approve resolutions authorizing an amendment to
the Memorandum and Articles of the Company (the "Designation Amendment") that
will modify the existing designation of the Preferred Stock to be consistent
with the rights, powers, preferences and other characteristics of the Preferred
Stock described in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and to be issued in
connection with that transaction. A copy of the resolutions authorizing the
Designation Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The following description
of the Designation Amendment is qualified by reference to the full text of the
resolutions authorizing the Designation Amendment.

         TERMS OF THE DESIGNATION AMENDMENT. The Designation Amendment will
serve to modify Part 23.1(b) of the Memorandum and Articles of the Company by
changing the triggering event that will permit the Company to initiate a
conversion of shares of the Preferred Stock into shares of the Common Stock. The
existing Memorandum and Articles permits the Company to effect a conversion of
the Preferred Stock, within two years of the date of issue, "if the last sales
price per share of common shares, as noted on the Company's principal trading
exchange, equals or exceeds US$2.00 per share for at least 20 consecutive days"
and "proper notice of conversion is given to the Company [sic] by the holder
[sic] no sooner than one day after, and no later than ten days after the
expiration of the referenced 20 consecutive trading day period." The Designation
Amendment will:




                                        8

<PAGE>   14



         -        Increase the last sales price per share of the Common Stock
                  required to initiate conversion from $2.00 to $10.00; and

         -        Correct the references to the party delivering and accepting
                  notice of such conversion by the Company (i.e. change
                  "Company" to "holder" and "holder" to "Company.")

         REASONS FOR AND EFFECT OF THE DESIGNATION AMENDMENT. The changes
contained in the Designation Amendment will be made in order to establish the
rights and characteristics of the Preferred Stock as set forth in the Agreement
for Purchase and Sale. The principal effect of the Designation Amendment will be
to set a higher trading price for the Common Stock and, thus, a higher threshold
to be met in order to trigger the Company's right to effect a conversion of the
shares of Preferred Stock into shares of the Common Stock.

VOTE REQUIRED

         The affirmative vote of three-quarters of the total number of shares of
the Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting is
required to approve the resolutions authorizing the Designation Amendment.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE
RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING THE DESIGNATION AMENDMENT.

                ITEM 6: APPROVAL OF 10% CONVERTIBLE SECURED NOTES

THE OFFERING

         Management is also seeking shareholder approval for the proposed
issuance of the Company's 10% Convertible Secured Notes ("Convertible Notes").
The Convertible Notes will be offered to a limited number of investors in a
private placement conducted in reliance on Regulation D of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.

         The proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes will allow the
Company to increase natural gas reserves and revenues by providing capital to be
used for the explicit purpose of drilling proven locations and acquiring proved
producing properties. The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Convertible
Notes that the Company proposes to issue is limited to $3,500,000. The first
$1,000,000 of the net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes will
be used to finance the Company's share of drilling and completion costs for
natural gas drilling operations in the Appalachian Basin. Net proceeds in excess
of the first $1,000,000 may be applied to finance all or part of the proposed
acquisition of a percentage working interest in producing oil and gas properties
located in Knott County, Kentucky. Any additional net proceeds will be added to
working capital for future drilling, recovery or acquisition programs.

         The Convertible Notes will have the following characteristics:

         -        The Convertible Notes will be issued at 100 percent of their
                  respective principal amounts;

         -        Interest on the Convertible Notes will accrue at a rate of 10
                  percent per annum from the date of issuance until maturity;

         -        Interest payments will be due and payable semi-annually until
                  maturity;

         -        The Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the
                  holder at any time, unless previously redeemed, into the
                  Common Stock at a conversion rate to be established at 125
                  percent of the average between the high and low bid prices of
                  the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market for the each
                  of




                                        9

<PAGE>   15



                  the 10 trading days immediately preceding the closing, subject
                  to adjustment in certain events;

         -        Each holder of a Convertible Note will have a right to require
                  the Company to redeem the security 18 months after the closing
                  at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the
                  Convertible Note, plus accrued interest, each payable in cash,
                  plus a premium equal to 25 percent of the principal amount of
                  the Convertible Note, payable in shares of the Common Stock,
                  determined by dividing that amount by the prevailing market
                  price of the Common Stock;

         -        The Company may redeem the Convertible Notes at any time
                  following 18 months after the closing at a price equal to 100
                  percent of their principal amount, plus accrued interest,
                  payable in cash;

         -        The Convertible Notes will be guaranteed by Daugherty
                  Petroleum, Inc., the Company's wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary
                  ("DPI"), which will collateralize the guarantee by granting a
                  security interest in DPI's mining interests, however, DPI may
                  provide substitute collateral in the form of specified oil and
                  gas interests upon the occurrence of certain events; and

         -        Within 120 days after the closing, the Company will file a
                  registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
                  Commission (the "Commission") to register the resale of the
                  shares of the Common Stock underlying the Convertible Notes.

         No sinking fund is required to be established by the Company for the
redemption of the Convertible Notes.

         The closing of the offering will be conditioned upon the receipt and
acceptance of subscriptions for a minimum principal amount of $750,000 in
Convertible Notes on or before the termination date, as defined in the offering
materials, or such extension date. All subscription funds received prior to the
closing will be deposited in escrow and will only be released to the Company
upon the receipt of subscriptions aggregating at least $750,000.

         POTENTIAL DILUTION. The issuance of the Convertible Notes may have a
dilutive effect on the present owners of the Common Stock. If the holders of the
Convertible Notes elect to convert or require redemption of the Convertible
Notes into shares of the Common Stock, or the Company elects to redeem the
Convertible Notes on its own account, the number of shares of the Common Stock
issued will cause a dilution of interest of the present shareholders of the
Company. The extent of such potential dilution cannot be reasonably calculated
at this time and will depend on several factors, including, but not limited to,
the total principal amount of Convertible Notes issued by the Company, interest

         ITEM 7: AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF THE CAPITAL STOCK

         The shareholders will be asked to approve resolutions authorizing an
amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of the Company (the "Capital Stock
Amendment") that will increase the authorized capital stock of the Company. A
copy of the resolutions authorizing the Capital Stock Amendment is attached
hereto as Exhibit D. The following description of the Capital Stock Amendment is
qualified by reference to the full text of the resolutions authorizing the
Capital Stock Amendment.

         EFFECT OF THE CAPITAL STOCK AMENDMENT. The primary effect of the
Capital Stock Amendment would be to expand the Company's present equity
structure. The Capital Stock Amendment would increase the number of authorized
shares of the Common Stock from 10,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares and increase
the number of authorized shares of the Preferred Stock from 1,200,000 to
5,000,000. The additional authorized shares of the Common Stock and the
Preferred Stock would be of the same respective classes and possess the same
respective rights as those shares presently authorized. The Capital Stock
Amendment would not alter or modify any preemptive right of holders of the
Common Stock or the Preferred Stock to acquire additional shares of the Company,
which is denied.

         REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL STOCK AMENDMENT. Management believes that the
authorization of additional shares of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock
will serve the best interests of the Company. First, by increasing the number of
securities available for issuance, the Company has the opportunity to raise
additional capital through selected equity financings. Second, the Company can
explore more flexible approaches to equity financing by packaging shares of the
Common Stock and the Preferred Stock in offerings for investors. Third, the
authorization of additional equity securities provides the Company greater
latitude when engaging in commercial transactions by offering alternatives
method of payment. For example, while there are already a sufficient number of
authorized shares of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock to engage in the
Agreement for Purchase and Sale, the Capital Stock Amendment will enable the
Company to engage in future acquisitions by issuing securities, as opposed to
making monetary payment, in consideration for the assets or stock of the
targets. This approach would permit the Company to conserve working capital for
use in developing the acquired properties or in the general operations of the
Company.

         POTENTIAL DILUTION. Existing shareholders of the Company may not be
eligible to participate in any potential future offering of shares of the Common
Stock or the Preferred Stock authorized by the Capital Stock Amendment. In the
event shares of the Common Stock are issued, and existing shareholders are not
able or eligible to purchase a sufficient number of shares to maintain their
ownership percentage of the Company, such sharehold ers will be diluted.
Similarly, in the event authorized shares of the Preferred Stock with rights of
conversion into shares of the Common Stock are issued, the equity ownership of
existing shareholders of the Common Stock will be diluted upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock into the Common Stock. The extent of such potential dilution
cannot be reasonably anticipated at this time.

VOTE REQUIRED

         The affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the total number of
shares of the Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the
Meeting is required to approve the Capital Stock Amendment.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE
RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING THE CAPITAL STOCK AMENDMENT.

interest at a rate of 10 percent beginning April 1, 1995. Payment terms are
based on quarterly payments of interest only with the total principal and
interest, if any, due in full June 1, 1999. This indebtedness is secured by the

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To Daugherty Resources, Inc.:

         We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and
direct operating expenses for certain oil and gas interests of Environmental
Energy, Inc. and its affiliates, Environmental Operating, Inc. and affiliated
limited partnerships ("Environmental Interest") to be acquired from the
Environmental Interest Owners for the year ended December 31, 1998. This
statement is the responsibility of Environmental Energy, Inc.'s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our
audit.

         We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         The statement of revenues and direct operating expenses for the
Environmental Interests acquired from the Environmental Interest Owners was
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission as described in Note A and are not intended
to be a complete presentation of revenues and expenses.

         In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the
Environmental Interests acquired from the Environmental Interest Owners for the
year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

         Each Series of Acquisition Warrants is redeemable by DRI as an entire
series, at a price of $.05 per Acquisition Warrant, at the option of DRI if (1)
the last sales price of DRI Common equals or exceeds 200% of the exercise price
of the Series of Acquisition Warrants being redeemed for 20 consecutive trading
days and (2) notice of redemption is given to the Warrantholder no sooner than
one day after and no later than ten days after the 20th consecutive trading day.
The notice of redemption must give a minimum of 90 days notice to the
Warrantholder and the Warrantholder shall have the right to exercise the Warrant
until the close of business of the date fixed for redemption in the notice.

         Omitted Historical Financial Information
         ----------------------------------------

         Full historical financial statements, including general and
administrative expenses and interest expense, have not been presented due to the
fact that (a) the sellers of the Environmental Interests cannot make a
practicable determination of the portion of their general and administrative
expenses, interest expense or other indirect expenses which is attributable to
the properties subject to the above transactions, and (b) the property interests
acquired pursuant to the above transactions are primarily fully developed
producing properties in which DRI has had no management involvement. Total
incurred exploration and development costs associated with the Environmental
Energy, Inc. Interests through December 31, 1998 were approximately $12,500,000.

         Accrual Basis Statements
         ------------------------

         Memorandum adjustments have been made to the financial information
derived from the Sellers in order to present the accompanying statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE B  Unaudited Supplemental Oil and Gas Information.
        ----------------------------------------------

         The determination of oil and gas reserves is complex and highly
interpretive. Assumptions used to estimate reserve information may significantly
increase or decrease such reserves in future periods. The estimates of reserves
are subject to continuing changes and therefore, an accurate determination of
reserves may not be possible for many years because of the time needed for
development, drilling, testing and studies of the reservoirs. Net proved oil and
gas reserves and the discounted future net cash flows related to the acquired
properties were estimated by the Company's petroleum engineers as of December
31, 1998 in accordance with


                                      FS-4
<PAGE>   5

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, "Disclosures about Oil and
Gas Producing Activities." Since reserve evaluations for earlier dates had not
been prepared, it is not practical to include any information as to changes in
reserve quantities, nor any change in present value disclosures. At December 31,
1998, net proved reserves for the acquired properties were estimated as 4.9
MBbls of oil and 334 MMcf of natural gas. Net production for the year ended
December 31, 1998, was 2.7 MBbls of oil and 114.2 MMcf of natural gas.

         The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows at
December 31, 1998, related to the estimated proved oil and gas reserves is as
follows:

</TABLE>

         The calculated weighted average sales prices utilized for the purposes
of estimating the acquired properties' proved reserves and future net revenue
were $11.98 per barrel of oil and between $2.17 and $2.25, per Mcf of natural
gas. Total estimated future net cash flows before income taxes, discounted at
10% per annum, was $428,836 as of December 31, 1998.

         During 1998, $42,000 was expended for capital improvements to the
properties, none of which related to exploration.

         The accompanying pro forma consolidated balance sheet and pro forma
consolidated statements of operations give effect to Daugherty Resources, Inc.'s
("Company") acquisition of the oil and gas Interests of Environmental Energy,
Inc. and its affiliates Environmental Operating, Inc. and affiliated limited
partnerships ("Environmental Interests"), and are based upon assumptions set
forth in the notes to such statements.

         The pro forma consolidated financial statements comprise historical
data which have been retroactively adjusted or combined to reflect the effects
of the above mentioned transaction on the historical consolidated financial
statements. The historical information assumes that the transaction for which
pro forma effects are shown was consummated on March 31, 1999 for the pro forma
consolidated balance sheet and January 1 of each period presented for the pro
forma consolidated statements of operations. Such pro forma information should
be read in conjunction with the related historical financial information and is
not necessarily indicative of the results which would actually have occurred had
the transaction been in effect on the date or the beginning of the periods
indicated or which may occur in the future due to several factors, including,
but not limited to, commencement of production from new wells that has occurred
subsequent to the dates of the periods presented.

         1. The proper officers of the Company be, and they hereby are,
authorized and directed to file an amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of

                  "(b) The preferred shares may be issued from time to time in
         one or more series. Initially the shares will be authorized as a single
         series, but may be expanded to include additional series pursuant to
         proper shareholder approval. The preferred shares may be converted into
         common shares of the Company at the election of the holder thereof at
         any time within two years of the date of issue of the preferred shares,
         on a share for share basis. The preferred shares may be converted into
         common shares of the Company by the Company at any time within two
         years of the date of issue of the preferred shares, on a share for
         share basis, if the following conditions are met: (i) the last sales
         price per share of the common shares, as noted on the Company's
         principal trading exchange, equals or exceeds US$10.00 for at least 20

         trading day period. Any preferred shares not converted by the Company
         or the holder before the second anniversary of its issue shall be
         automatically converted by the Company into the common shares on a
         share for share basis on the second anniversary of issue. Any preferred
         shares converted automatically by the Company on the second anniversary
         of issue, shall receive a conversion bonus of the common shares equal
         to 12 percent of the number of preferred shares which remain
         unconverted on the second anniversary date. Any preferred shares
         converted by the Company prior to the second anniversary date shall
         receive a conversion bonus of the common shares equal to 0.5 percent
         per month of the number of preferred shares which are converted, times
         the total number of months elapsed from the date of issuance of the
         preferred shares to the date of conversion."
