         Daniel Benasutti, Ross L. Campbell, Joseph Falcone and Michael A.
Feinstein hereby amend the Schedule 13D filed by them, together with Michael
Voticky and Stanley Knowlton, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 2, 1999, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by them on
October 21, 1999 in respect of the common stock, $.01 par value of Nocopi
Technologies, Inc. (the "Issuer") so that the Items identified below shall
appear in full as follows:

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

         Each person filing this statement on Schedule 13D acquired the Common
Stock beneficially owned by him in the ordinary course of his investing
activities.

         Depending upon market conditions and other factors that he may deem
material, each person filing this statement on Schedule 13D may purchase
additional shares of Common Stock or related securities or may dispose of all or
a portion of the Common Stock or related securities that he now beneficially
owns or may hereafter acquire in open market or privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise.

         The persons filing this statement on Schedule 13D have noted the
continuing failure of the Issuer to operate profitably, the continuing poor
performance in the market of the Issuer's Common Stock, the complete failure of
the Issuer's existing board of directors to take essential steps to improve the
Issuer's operating performance during its tenure in office or to otherwise act
to improve shareholder value, and the loss of the Issuer's principal customer
and management's unwillingness or inability to prevent that loss. They have also
noted the existence of apparent conflicts between the interests of the Issuer's
stockholders and those of the incumbent members of the Issuer's board of
directors. They have determined that the continuation in office of the current
board of directors threatens the continued existence of the Issuer and that,
consequently, it is imperative that the current members of the board be
replaced.

         The persons filing this statement on Schedule 13D have determined to
form a stockholders' committee comprised of such persons, to be known as the
Nocopi Committee to Maximize Our Return on Equity ("NoMore") and to cause NoMore
to take action for the following purposes:

         (a) to nominate the persons identified below for election as directors
of the Issuer at the Issuer's Annual Meeting of Stockholders currently scheduled
for November 30, 1999;

         (b) to vote all shares of Common Stock over which members of NoMore
have or share the power to vote in favor of the election of such nominees as
directors of the Issuer;

         (c) to solicit proxies from other stockholders of the Issuer in support
of the election of such nominees as directors of the Issuer; and

<PAGE>   3

         (d) to consult with the Issuer's directors concerning ways in which
they may take action to improve shareholder value including, without limitation,
any of the following:

                  -        acting to reduce the Company's overhead expenses;

                  -        acting to increase and incentive the Issuer's sales
                           force and otherwise to improve operating revenues;

                  -        pursuing other potential changes in the operations
                           and/or capital structure of the Issuer; and

                  -        pursuing a strategic acquisition, disposition, merger
                           or other business combination.
