The initial Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D"), of (i) EGS
Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("EGS
Associates"), (ii) EGS Partners, L.L.C., a Delaware limited
liability company and a registered investment adviser ("EGS
Partners"), (iii) Bev Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Bev Partners"), (iv) Pharmaceutical/Medical
Technology Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Pharm
Fund"), (v) Jonas Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
("Jonas Partners"), (vi) FK Investments, L.P. (formerly FK
Trading Partners, L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership ("FK
Investments"), (vii) William Ehrman, (viii) Frederic Greenberg,
(ix) Frederick Ketcher, (x) Jonas Gerstl, and (xi) James
McLaren, relating to the common stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), issued by Osteotech, Inc. (the "Company"),
is hereby amended by this Amendment No. 3 as follows:
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
The net investment cost (including commissions, if any) of
the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by EGS Associates,
EGS Partners (exclusive of shares beneficially owned by EGS
Overseas), Bev Partners, Pharm Fund, and Jonas Partners is
approximately $301,004, $923,812, $178,653, $649,092, and
$82,989, respectively.
The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of
the shares of Common Stock owned directly by a member of Mr.
Greenberg's immediate family is approximately $25,000.
The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of
the shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Ketcher is
approximately $27,175.
Messrs. Ehrman, Gerstl and McLaren currently own no shares
of Common Stock.
The shares of Common Stock purchased by each of EGS
Associates, EGS Overseas,
Bev Partners, Pharm Fund, Jonas Partners and FK Investments were
purchased with the investment capital of the respective entities
and the shares of Common Stock purchased by EGS Partners were
purchased with investment capital of each discretionary account
under management of EGS Partners. The shares of Common Stock
purchased by Messrs. Greenberg and Ketcher were purchased with
personal funds.
The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by EGS
Associates, EGS Partners (excluding EGS Overseas), EGS Overseas,
Bev Partners, Pharm Fund, Jonas Partners, and FK Investments are
held in their respective commingled margin accounts, or in the
case of EGS Partners, in margin and non-margin accounts held by
each discretionary account under its management. Such margin
accounts are maintained at Bear Stearns & Co. Inc., and may from
time to time have debit balances. Since other securities are held
in such margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the
amounts, if any, of margin used with respect to the shares of
Common Stock purchased. Non-margin accounts are maintained at
Bankers Trust Company. The shares owned by Mr. Greenberg are held
in an account maintained at Goldman, Sachs & Co. or are
beneficially owned by a member of his immediate family. The
shares owned by Mr. Ketcher are held in his various accounts
maintained at Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. Currently, the interest
rate charged on such various margin accounts is approximately
6.125% per annum.
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) The approximate aggregate percentage of shares of
Common Stock reported beneficially owned by each person
herein is based on 7,812,011 shares outstanding, which is
the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
October 31, 1996, as reflected in the company's quarterly
report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") for the fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 1996 (which is the most recent Form 10-Q on
file).
As of the close of business on December 19, 1996:
(i) EGS Associates owns beneficially 54,292 shares of
Common Stock, constituting less than 1% of the shares
outstanding.
(ii) EGS Partners owns directly no shares of Common
Stock. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13D-3 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), EGS
Partners may be deemed to own beneficially 164,397 shares
purchased for discretionary accounts managed by it, constituting
approximately 2.10% of the shares outstanding.
(iii) Bev Partners owns beneficially 32,167 shares
of Common Stock, constituting less than 1% of the shares
outstanding.
PAGE 13 OF 17 PAGES
<PAGE>
(iv) Pharm Fund owns 115,353 shares of Common Stock,
constituting approximately 1.48% of the shares outstanding.
(v) Jonas Partners owns 14,980 shares of Common Stock,

(vi) FK Investments owns no shares of Common Stock.
(vii) Mr. Greenberg owns beneficially through
ownership by a member of his immediate family, 5,000 shares of

(viii) Mr. Ketcher owns directly 5,000 shares of
Common Stock, constituting less than 1% of the shares
outstanding.
(ix) Messrs. Ehrman, Gerstl and McLaren own
directly no shares of Common Stock.
By reason of the provisions of Rule 13D-3 of the Act,
each of the General Partners may be deemed to own the 54,292
shares beneficially owned by EGS Associates, the 164,397 shares
beneficially owned by EGS Partners, the 32,167 shares
beneficially owned by Bev Partners, the 115,353 shares
beneficially owned by Pharm Fund, and the 14,980 shares
beneficially owned by Jonas Partners. When the shares
beneficially owned by EGS Associates, EGS Partners, Bev Partners,
Pharm Fund, Jonas Partners, and FK Investments are aggregated,
they total 381,189 shares of Common Stock, constituting
approximately 4.88% of the shares outstanding.
(viii) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons
beneficially own a total of 391,189 shares of Common Stock,
constituting approximately 5.01% of the shares outstanding.
(b) (i) Each of EGS Associates, EGS Partners, Bev
Partners, Jonas Partners, Pharm Fund and FK Investments has the
power to vote on all of the shares of Common Stock, except for
300 shares held by one of the discretionary accounts, and to
dispose of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it,
which power may be exercised by the General Partners. Each of
the discretionary accounts is a party to an investment management
agreement with EGS Partners pursuant to which EGS Partners has
investment authority with respect to securities held in such
account.
(ii) Mr. Ketcher has the sole power to vote and
dispose of the shares owned directly by him. Mr. Greenberg has
no power to vote and shared power to dispose of the shares owned
by a member of his immediate family.
(c) The trading dates, number of shares of Common
Stock purchased or sold and price per share for all transactions
in the Common Stock from the 60th day prior to December 19, 1996
until December 19, 1996 by EGS Partners and Pharm Fund, are set
forth in Schedules A and B, respectively, and were all effected
in the over-the-counter market. During such period, EGS
Associates, Bev Partners and Jonas Partners, as well as Messrs.
Ehrman, Greenberg, Ketcher, Gerstl, and McLaren, did not enter
into any transactions in the Common Stock.
(d) No person other than each respective record owner
of shares of Common Stock referred to herein is known to have the
right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends
from or the proceeds of sale of such shares of Common Stock.
