                    CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
          PURSUANT TO RULE 13A-14(A) OR 15D-14(A) UNDER THE SECURITIES
                              EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

      In connection with the Quarterly Report of Daugherty Resources, Inc. (the
"Company") on Form 10-QSB (the "Report") for the quarter ended March 31, 2004
(the "Reporting Period"), as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on
the date hereof under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), the undersigned, Michael P. Windisch, Chief Financial Officer
of the Company, certifies pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) or 15d-14(a) under the
Exchange Act that:

      1. I have reviewed the Report.

      2. Based on my knowledge, the 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 they are made, not
misleading with respect to the Reporting Period.

      3. Based on my knowledge, the consolidated financial statements and other
financial information included in the Report fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
Company as of the date and for the periods reported therein.

      4. The Company's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) for the Company and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the Company, and we have:

            (a) designed those disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
them to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information
relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
to us by other personnel employed by the Company and its subsidiaries,
particularly within the Reporting Period;

            (b) designed those internal controls over financial reporting, or
caused them to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable
assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles;

            (c) evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures and presented in the Report our conclusions about the
effectiveness of those disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
Reporting Period based on that evaluation; and

            (d) disclosed in the Report any change in the Company's internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter of
the Reporting Period that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to
materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

      5. Based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial
reporting, the Company's other certifying officer and I have disclosed to the
Company's auditors and the audit committee of the Company's board of directors:

            (a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are
reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company'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 Company's internal control
over financial reporting.
