AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
SCHEDULE 13D
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D ("Statement") relates to the
common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Marcum Natural Gas
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Issuer"). The principal executive
offices of the Issuer are located at 1675 Broadway, Suite 2150, Denver, Colorado
80202. All share and per share amounts set forth in this Statement have been
adjusted to reflect the 1-for-4 reverse split of the Common Stock of the Issuer
effected on July 6, 1998.
This Statement amends the Schedule 13D previously filed by the
Reporting Person (as defined below) to reflect certain transactions since the
initial filing.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
(a) The name of the person filing this Statement is W. Phillip
Marcum ("Reporting Person").
(b) The business address of the Reporting Person is 1675 Broadway,
Suite 2150, Denver, Colorado 80202.
(c) The present principal occupation of the Reporting Person is
the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Issuer, Marcum Natural Gas Services, Inc., 1675
Broadway, Suites 2150, Denver, Colorado 80202.
(d) During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been
a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative
body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was not and is not subject to a judgment, decree or
final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities
laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
(f) The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States of
America.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Between September 11, 1998 and September 22, 1998 (as described in Item
5(c)), the Reporting Person purchased 10,000 shares of Common Stock in ordinary
brokers' transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $19,827.25. All
purchases by the Reporting Person of shares of Common Stock were made with the
Reporting Person's personal funds.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.
On October 6, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Issuer authorized the
general repricing (the "Repricing") of all outstanding options to purchase
shares of Common Stock that had previously been granted by the Issuer. As a
result of the Repricing, the exercise price of all outstanding options to
purchase Common Stock, including options granted by the Issuer to the Reporting
Person, was reduced
Page 3 of 7 Pages
<PAGE> 4
to $2.00, the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date of the
Repricing as reported by the Nasdaq National Market. In addition, the vesting
period with respect to options to purchase 37,500 shares of Common Stock was
accelerated.
Other than the acceleration of the vesting period of 37,500 options,
all other terms and conditions of the stock options granted to the Reporting
Person remain unchanged, except that no repriced options are exercisable prior
to October 6, 1999 (irrespective of vesting periods). Due to the one year
moratorium on option exercises as part of the Repricing, pursuant to the
definition of "beneficial ownership" set forth in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Person is no
longer the beneficial owner of 82,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of vested options which were exercisable prior to the Repricing (or the
37,500 shares issuable upon the exercise of previously unvested options), and
will not be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such underlying shares until 60
days prior to the date the options become exercisable.
The Reporting Person acquired the Common Stock beneficially owned by
him for investment purposes. The Reporting Person may from time to time in the
future acquire beneficial ownership of additional shares of Common Stock or
securities convertible into shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock
Purchase Warrants) or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible into shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock Purchase
Warrants) beneficially owned by him. In addition, as a member of the Board of
Directors of the Issuer, and in his capacity as Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and President of the Issuer, the Reporting Person will
participate from time to time in the consideration of possible actions or
transactions involving the Issuer, some of which may, in whole or in part,
relate to or result in one or more of the actions specified in (a) through (j)
of Item 4.
Other than as set forth above, the Reporting Person does not have any
present plans or proposals which would relate to or would result in any of the
actions specified in (a) through (j) of Item 4, although the Reporting Person
reserves the right to change his plans and intentions at any time as he deems
appropriate.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) As of October 6, 1998, the Reporting Person beneficially owned
120,603 shares of Common Stock (including 7,750 shares of
Common Stock held of record by his wife, Barbara Marcum),
representing 3.38% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer (based upon 3,546,445 shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such date, plus
exercisable Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 22,120
shares of Common Stock).
The amounts included in the beneficial ownership of the
Reporting Person in this Statement do not include options to
purchase 120,000 shares of Common Stock granted to the
Reporting Person which are not exercisable until October 6,
1999.
(b) The Reporting Person has sole power to vote or to direct the
vote and sole power to dispose of or to direct the disposition
of all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him.
Page 4 of 7 Pages
<PAGE> 5
(c) During the past 60 days, the Reporting Person has effected the
following transactions in the Common Stock, all of which were
purchased in ordinary brokers' transactions, except the Common
Stock Purchase Warrants, which were issued as a divided at no
cost by the Issuer to all holders of Common Stock:

sale of, the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting
Person.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
The Reporting Person has the right to acquire 120,000 shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of options which are not exercisable until October 6,
1999, pursuant to the Issuer's 1991 Stock Option Plan, and 22,120 shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of currently exercisable Common Stock Purchase
Warrants pursuant to the Issuer's Warrant Agency Agreement, dated September 10,
1998, between the Issuer and American Securities Transfer & Trust, Inc. In
addition, pursuant to the Employment Agreement, dated June 11, 1991, as amended,
between the Reporting Person and the Issuer, upon the termination of the
employment of the Reporting Person for any reason whatsoever, the Reporting
Person has the right to require the Issuer to repurchase up to 10,000 shares of
Common Stock held by him on the date of termination at the "Fair Market Value"
of such shares of Common Stock on the date of receipt by the Issuer of a written
repurchase notice. For purposes of the Employment Agreement, the "Fair Market
Value" of his shares shall be the average closing bid price of the shares of
Common Stock over the 20 trading days preceding the date of notice.
In addition, pursuant to the Reporting Person's Employment Agreement,
the Issuer is required to establish an Incentive Compensation Fund, to be
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Issuer, to provide for incentive compensation to be paid by each officer or
employee (including the Reporting Person) deemed by the Compensation Committee
to have made a
Page 5 of 7 Pages
<PAGE> 6
substantial contribution to the Issuer in the event of a change of control of
the Issuer or of the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or
similar transactions. The total amounts of incentive compensation from the fund
available for distribution will be determined by a formula based on the amount
by which the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock exceeds $10.08,
multiplied by a factor ranging from 10-20% depending upon the ratio of the Fair
Market Value to $10.08. In the case of the sale of the significant subsidiary of
the Issuer or substantially all of the assets of a significant subsidiary, a
similar pro-rata distribution is required.
Except as set forth herein, there are no contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting
Person and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer,
including but not limited to the transfer or voting of securities, finder's
fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of
profits, division of profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies or
otherwise.
