           (a)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1)   To file, during any period in which it offers or sales
                        are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
                        Registration Statement:

<PAGE>   5

                        (i)   To include any material information with respect
                              to the plan of distribution not previously
                              disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
                              material change to such information in this
                              Registration Statement.

                  (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
                        the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
                        amendment will be deemed to be a new registration
                        statement relating to the securities offered therein,
                        and the offering of such securities at that time will be
                        deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  (3)   To remove from registration by means of post-effective
                        amendment any of the securities being registered which
                        remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


                  (4)   To file a post-effective amendment to this Registration
                        Statement to include any financial statements required
                        by Rule 3-19 of Regulation S-X at the start of any
                        delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering.

           (b)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the
                  purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
                  of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
                  pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
                  Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
                  employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
                  15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
                  incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement will
                  be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
                  securities offered therein, and the offering of such
                  securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona
                  fide offering thereof.

           (c)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
                  Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
                  and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
                  foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
                  advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
                  Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
                  expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unforeseeable. In the
                  event that a claim for indemnification against such
                  liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
                  expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
                  controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense
                  of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
                  director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
                  securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
                  the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
                  controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate

                  jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it
                  is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
                  governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

              (c)  The Letter Agreement and the minutes containing the
                   resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company granting
                   the bonuses to the employees described herein constitute and
                   employee benefit plan as described in Rule 405 promulgated
                   under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Plan"). The Securities
                   will be offered pursuant to the Plan.

              (d)  The general nature and purpose of the Plan is to allow for
                   the payment of fees and bonuses due and owing by the Company
                   to the Participants in the form of the Company's registered
                   Securities. The Plan will terminate as soon after June 30,
                   2000 as the Securities called for in the Plan have been
                   issued to the Participants, which date will not exceed
                   June 30, 2000. It is not contemplated that the Plan will
                   be subject to modification or extension.

              (e)  The Plan does not have any administrators. However, the
                   participants may contact the Company at the address or
                   telephone number described in Paragraph 11 below to obtain
                   additional information about the Plan.


              (f)  The Plan is not subject to the Employee Retirement Income
                   Security Act of 1974. All of the Participants are employees,
                   consultants or advisors who have provided bona fide services
                   to the Company, none of such services being in connection
                   with the offer or sale of Securities of the Company in a
                   capital-raising transaction.

           2. SECURITIES TO BE OFFERED. The Securities to be offered pursuant to
              the Plan are shares of the Company's common stock, without par
              value per share. The common stock of the Company has been
              registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of
              1934.

           3. EMPLOYEES WHO MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN. Only the Participants
              described above may participate.


           4. PURCHASE OF SECURITIES PURSUANT TO THE PLAN AND PAYMENT FOR
              SECURITIES OFFERED.

              (a)  Each Participant may participate in the Plan only for so long
                   as it takes to file the Registration Statement and issue the
                   Securities to the Participants as called for herein.
                   Thereafter, no Participant shall have any further interest in
                   the Plan. The only Securities to be purchased by a
                   Participant are described herein or in a Participant's
                   particular Letter Agreement. The purchase price per share of
                   the Company's Securities for each of the Participants is as
                   set forth above.

              (b)  Payment for the Securities to be purchased by any of the
                   Participants pursuant to the Plan will be the extinguishments
                   of any further liability by the Company to any such
                   Participant with respect to the obligations described herein.


                                       2
<PAGE>   9


               (c)  There will be no reports delivered to the Participants as to
                    the amounts and status of their accounts.

               (d)  The Securities will be issued to the Participants, who may
                    sell the Securities in the open market. The Company will
                    receive no fees or other compensation for the Securities
                    other than the extinguishments of the debts to the
                    Participants as described herein.

           5.  RESALE RESTRICTIONS. There will be no restrictions on the resale
               of the Securities by the Participants.

           6.  TAX EFFECTS OF PLAN PARTICIPATION. The receipt of the Securities
               by the Participants will be the receipt of ordinary income since
               the Securities will have been received by the Participants in
               exchange for services. Consequently, the Participants will be
               taxed currently for the value of the Securities pursuant to
               Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

           7.  INVESTMENT OF FUNDS. There is no provision under the Plan whereby
               the Participants may direct the investment of all or any part of
               the assets in the Plan.

           8.  WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN; ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST: No Participant
               will be able to withdraw from, terminate, or assign its interest
               in the Plan.

           9.  FORFEITURES AND PENALTIES: There is no event, which could, under
               the Plan result in forfeiture by, or a penalty held under the
               Plan.

           10. CHANGES AND DEDUCTIONS, AND LIENS THEREFORE. There are no changes
               and deductions that may be made against the Participants, the
               Securities, or assets of the Plan, or the creation of any lien on
               any funds, securities, or other property held under the Plan.

           11. INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. The Company
               shall furnish to the Participants, without charge, upon written
               or oral request, the documents incorporated by reference in Item
               3 of Part II of the Registration Statement, all of such documents
               being incorporated by reference in this Section 10(a) Prospectus.
               The Company shall also furnish to the Participants, without
               charge, upon written or oral request, any other documents
               required to be delivered to employees of the Company pursuant to

                                      Re: Form S-8 Registration Statement;
                                          Commission File No. 0-12185

Gentlemen:

           I have acted as counsel for Daugherty Resources, Inc. (the "Company")
in connection with the registration by the Company of 95,858 shares of its
common stock, without par value per share (the "Securities"), as contemplated by
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on the date hereof with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

           In connection therewith, I have examined, among other things, the
Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, of the Company, the
corporate proceedings of the Company with respect to the issuance and
registration of the Securities, the Registration Statement, certificates of
public officials, statutes and other instruments and documents, as a basis for
the opinions expressed herein.

           Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and upon such other matters
as I have determined to be relevant, I am of the opinion that:

           1.     The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing,
                  and in good standing under the laws of the Province of British
                  Columbia.

           2.     All of the Securities, upon issuance and delivery thereof,
                  will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

           I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

                                                     Very truly yours,
                                                     /s/ Gary M. Smith
                                                     ---------------------
