                                  CERTIFICATION

I, William A. Siskovic, Chief Financial Officer, certify that:

         1.       I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Everflow
Eastern Partners, L.P.;

         2.       Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

         3.       Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

         4.       The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are
responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant
and have:

                           (a)      Designed such disclosure controls and
                  procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures
                  to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
                  information relating to the registrant, including its
                  consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
                  within those entities, particularly during the period in which
                  this report is being prepared;

                           (b)      Evaluated the effectiveness of the
                  registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented
                  in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the
                  disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
                  period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

                           (c)      Disclosed in this report any change in the
                  registrant's internal control over financial reporting that
                  occurred during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter
                  (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an
                  annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
                  likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control
                  over financial reporting; and

         5.       The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have
disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the
registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
functions):

<PAGE>

                           (a)      All significant deficiencies and material
                  weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over
                  financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely
                  affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize
                  and report financial information; and

                           (b)      Any fraud, whether or not material, that
                  involves management or other employees who have a significant
                  role in the registrant's internal control over financial
                  reporting.

         6.       The registrant's other certifying officers and I have
indicated in this report whether there were significant changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
