ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Schedule relates to Shares of Common Stock, no par value
("Shares"), of Ogden, McDonald & Company, a Colorado corporation (the
"Issuer"), whose principal executive offices are located at 1300 Post Oak
Boulevard, 9th Floor, Houston, Texas 77056.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
This Schedule is filed by Petromoly Capital Partners ("PCP"), a
Texas general partnership, with its principal offices located at 1300 Post Oak
Boulevard, 9th Floor, Houston, Texas 77056; Gilbert Gertner, whose business
address is 1300 Post Oak Boulevard, 9th Floor, Houston, Texas 77056; and
Robert Goldberg, whose residence address is 15010 Falling Creek, Houston,
Texas 77068.
The partners of PCP are Gilbert Gertner, who owns a 90% interest in
PCP and Robert Goldberg, who owns 10% of PCP.
Gilbert Gertner and Robert Goldberg are United States citizens.
During the last five years, neither PCP, Gilbert Gertner nor Robert
Goldberg have been (I) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of
a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of
such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoin-
ing future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violations of any such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
No funds were directly expended in the acquisition of the Issuer's
Shares.
The Shares were issued to PCP pursuant to an Agreement dated July
22, 1996 (the "Agreement"), by which the Issuer acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Worldwide Petromoly Corporation ("Petromoly"). The Shares
were issued to PCP in exchange for the stock of Petromoly stock held by it.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
The Shares were acquired by PCP in exchange for its Shares of
Petromoly, and were acquired for investment purposes. PCP will monitor its
investment in the Issuer and will determine the most appropriate action to
take. The Shares were issued to PCP in a private transaction pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and thus the resale
of the Shares is restricted.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, effective on the closing of
the transaction, all of the persons who were previously officers and directors
of the Issuer resigned. Gilbert Gertner became Chairman of the Board and a
Director of the Issuer; Robert Goldberg became President and a Director of the
Issuer; and Lance Rosmarin became Secretary and a Director of the Issuer.
On July 23, 1996, the Issuer's newly constituted Board of
Directors granted stock options under the Issuer's Stock Option Plan to
Gilbert Gertner, who received options to purchase 540,000 Shares of Common
Stock, and Robert Goldberg, who received an option to purchase 60,000 Shares
of Common Stock. The options granted are exercisable at $2.00 per Share, are
fully vested, and expire on July 23, 2001.
Except as described above, neither PCP, Gilbert Gertner nor Robert
Goldberg have formulated any plans or proposals which would result in any: (I)
acquisition or disposition of additional securities of the Issuer; (ii)
extraordinary corporate transaction; (iii) sale or transfer of a material
amount of the Issuer's assets; (iv) change in the present board of directors
or the management of the Issuer; (v) material change in the present
capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (vi) other material change in
the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (vii) changes in the Issuer's
charter or bylaws or otherwise take actions which may impede the acquisition
of control of the Issuer by any person; (viii) reclassification or a
recapitalization of the Issuer's securities; or (ix) termination of the
Issuer's registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) (i) As of the date of this filing, PCP beneficially owns
12,500,000 Shares through PCP's direct ownership of such Shares pursuant to
the Agreement. The Shares acquired by PCP represent 78.1% of the outstanding
Shares of the Issuer.
(ii) As of the date of this filing, Gilbert Gertner
beneficially owns 11,790,000 Shares through his 90% ownership of PCP and
options held by him to purchase 540,000 Shares. Mr. Gertner disclaims
beneficial ownership of 1,250,000 of the Shares held by PCP. The Shares
beneficially held by Mr. Gertner represent 71.2% of the outstanding Shares of
the Issuer.
(iii) As of the date of this filing, Robert Goldberg bene-
ficially owns 1,310,000 Shares through his 10% ownership of PCP and options
held by him to purchase 60,000 Shares. Mr. Goldberg disclaims beneficial
ownership of 11,250,000 of the Shares held by PCP. The Shares beneficially
held by Mr. Goldberg represent 8.2% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer.
(b) (i) PCP has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of all
12,500,000 Shares held by it. PCP also has the sole power to dispose or
direct the disposition or assignment of such Shares. Gilbert Gertner and
Robert Goldberg are considered to hold shared voting and dispositive power
with respect to the Shares held by PCP. However, they disclaim beneficial
ownership beyond their respective percentage interests in PCP.
(ii) Gilbert Gertner has sole power to vote or direct the vote
of the 540,000 Shares underlying his options to purchase such number of
Shares. He also has the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition or
assignment of the 540,000 Shares underlying his options. In addition, Mr.
Gertner is considered to hold shared voting and dispositive power over the
12,500,000 Shares held by PCP as a result of his relationship as a general
partner of PCP, but disclaims beneficial ownership of 1,250,000 of such
Shares.
(iii) Robert Goldberg has sole power to vote or direct the
vote of the 60,000 Shares underlying his options to purchase such number of
Shares. He also has the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition or
assignment of the 60,000 Shares underlying his options. In addition, Mr.
Goldberg is considered to hold shared voting and dispositive power over the
11,250,000 Shares held by PCP as a result of his relationship as a general
partner of PCP, but disclaims beneficial ownership of 1,250,000 of such
Shares.

understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with respect to any
securities of the Issuer.
