Item 2.

Identity and Background

(a) This Statement is filed by:

Eriksen Capital Management LLC (“ECM”);

(2)

Cedar Creek Partners LLC (“CCP”);

(3)

Tim Eriksen, a registered investment adviser with the State of Washington, managing member of CCP and ECM, and a nominee for the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”);

Each of the foregoing is referred to as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons.”

ECM is the managing member of CCP and investment advisor to separately managed accounts (each, an “SMA”). CCP is a private investment partnership. By virtue of his position with ECM, Mr. Eriksen has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock owned by CCP.

The shares of Common Stock reported as owned by Mr. Eriksen includes 35,000 shares held in his spouse’s individual retirement account (“IRA”).

(b) The principal business address of Mr. Eriksen, ECM and CCP is 8695 Glendale Road, Custer, WA 98240.

(c) The principal business of CCP is acquiring, holding and disposing of investments in various companies. The principal business of ECM is serving as the investment manager of CCP and SMAs. The principal occupation of Mr. Eriksen is serving as the sole manager of ECM.

(d) No Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) None of the Reporting Parties has, during the last five years, been 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 enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.

(f) Mr. Eriksen is a citizen of the United States. ECM and CCP are both Washington limited liability companies.

Item 3.

Source and amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The shares of Common Stock were acquired in open market purchases with the working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business and may constitute uncommitted cash of SMAs) or personal funds, as applicable, of the applicable Reporting Person. The aggregate purchase price, excluding commissions, of the 6,073,953 shares of Common Stock owned by CCP was $995,983; of the 108,000 shares of Common Stock owned by ECM (on behalf of SMAs) was $17,270; of the 639,886 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Eriksen (including through his spouse’s IRA) was $104,964.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired shares of Nocopi for investment purposes.

In pursuing its investment purposes, the Reporting Persons may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in the Common Stock at times, and in such manner, as they deem advisable to benefit from, among other things, (1) changes in the market prices of the shares of Common Stock; (2) changes in the Issuer’s operations, business strategy or prospects; or (3) from the sale or merger of the Issuer. To evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Persons will closely monitor the Issuer’s operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as other economic, securities markets and investment considerations. Consistent with their investment research methods and evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with the management or the Board, other stockholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit, and other investors. Such evaluations and discussions may materially affect, and result in, among other things, the Reporting Persons (1) modifying their ownership of the Common Stock; (2) exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; (3) proposing changes in the Issuer’s operations, governance or capitalization; (4) proposing or pursuing changes to the Company’s board of directors or Corporation’s bylaws; or (5) pursuing one or more of the other actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

In addition to the information disclosed in this Statement, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to (1) formulate other plans and proposals; (2) take any actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; and (3) acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, in each case in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.

On August 24, 2021, ECM, CCP and Mr. Eriksen provided appropriate evidence to the Issuer that they have obtained the requisite support of a sufficient number of the Issuer’s stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders (the “special meeting”). The purpose of the special meeting is to remove the current members of the Board, elect Mr. Eriksen, Mr. Harris Perlman and Mr. Matthew Winger as directors, and make certain amendments to the bylaws of the Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The Reporting Persons expect the Issuer to hold the special meeting promptly. The press release issued by the Reporting Persons concerning the foregoing is attached as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated by reference.

Item 5.

ECM, CCP and Mr. Eriksen disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares.

(3)
