         This Amendment No. 1 to the Statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares
of  Common  Stock,  par  value  $0.001  per  share  (the  "Shares"),   of  Covol
Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") held for the accounts
of Aspen Capital Resources,  LLC and The Johnson  Foundation.  Capitalized terms
not  otherwise  defined  herein  have the  meanings  given tn the  Statement  on
Schedule 13D filed with respect to the reporting  date of October 6, 1999.  This
Amendment  is filed  pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of
1934, as amended.

         Item 3 and Item 5 of Schedule  13D are hereby  amended and  restated in
their entirety, as follows:

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         Aspen Capital  Resources,  LLC has provided funding of $2,500,000.00 to
the Company  pursuant to a Securities  Purchase  Agreement dated as of September
17,  1999.  The funding  was  provided  from  working  capital of Aspen  Capital
Resources, LLC, including capital contributions and earnings from operations.

         The Johnson  Foundation has provided  funding of  $1,000,000.00  to the
Company  pursuant to an Agreement  dated as of January 22, 1999. The funding was
provided from working capital of The Johnson Foundation, including contributions
and earnings.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         (a) - (b) As of October 20, 1999, Aspen Capital Resources,  LLC was the
holder of  $2,500,000 of  Debentures,  75% of which are deemed  convertible  for
731,707  Shares  (at the  Conversion  Price,  as  defined  below)  and  Warrants
exercisable  for 350,406 Shares (at $3.60 per Share).  The Conversion  Price for
the  Debentures is the lower of $3.00 or the average of the 3 lowest closing bid
prices during the 15 trading days preceding the date of conversion.

         As of October 20, 1999, The Johnson  Foundation was the record owner of
200 shares of Series C Preferred  Stock  convertible  for 78,049  Shares (at the
Conversion  Price, as defined below) and Warrants  exercisable for 72,727 Shares
(at $6.88 per Share).  The Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock is the lower
of $5.50 or the average of the 3 lowest closing bid prices during the 15 trading
days preceding the date of conversion.

         As of October 20, 1999, the Reporting  Parties were also the beneficial
owners of 46,518 Shares.

         Because the Debentures and Preferred Stock are convertible  into Shares
at the option of the Reporting Persons pursuant to the foregoing  formulas,  the
actual  number of Shares  which  would be owned by the  Reporting  Persons  upon
conversion will fluctuate.  However, for purposes of this filing, the Debentures
and the Preferred Stock are deemed converted as of the reporting date.


                                        5

         On the basis of the  foregoing,  Aspen Capital  Resources,  LLC and The
Johnson  Foundation may be deemed to beneficially  own,  directly or indirectly,
1,279,407  Shares, or 9.1% of the Company's  outstanding  Common Stock as of the
reporting date. Such calculation is based on the Company's  outstanding  Shares,
after giving effect to Shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and the
Preferred  Stock  and upon  exercise  of the  Warrants  owned  by the  Reporting
Persons.

         Each of the Reporting  Persons may be deemed to share the power to vote
or direct the vote, and to dispose or to direct the  disposition  of, the Shares
beneficially  owned by the other.  In addition,  Joe K.  Johnson,  as manager of
Aspen Capital  Resources,  LLC and as trustee of The Johnson  Foundation  may be
deemed to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, the Shares.

         (c)  Schedule  I lists  transactions  in the  Shares  by the  Reporting
Persons since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D,  including the name, date,
amount  of  securities  involved,  and  price  per  unit.  Except  as  otherwise
indicated, all acquisitions of Shares were made by conversions of Debentures and
Preferred Stock directly with the Company,  and all  dispositions of Shares were
executed through market  transactions.  There were no other  transactions in the
Shares by the Reporting Persons since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D.

         (d) No person is known by the  Reporting  Persons  to have the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of  dividends  from,  or the proceeds
from the sale of, any Shares beneficially owned by any Reporting Person.

         (e) Not applicable.

SIGNATURE

         After reasonable  inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information  set forth in this statement is true,  complete and
correct.
