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 Trading Partners, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("FK Trading"), (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. 2 as
follows:
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
No change.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
No change.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Item 3 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
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
Fund, Ltd ("EGS Overseas")), Bev Partners, Pharm Fund, and Jonas
Partners is approximately $301,004, $1,072,408, $178,653,
$424,651, and $93,861, 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 Trading 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 Trading 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 and The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. 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 6.25% per annum.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
No change.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Item 5 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) The approximate aggregate percentage of shares of
Common Stock reported beneficially owned by each person
herein is based on 7,749,121 shares outstanding, which is
the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
April 30, 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
March 31, 1996 (which is the most recent Form 10-Q on file).
As of the close of business on June 13, 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 192,149 shares
purchased for discretionary accounts managed by it, other than
EGS Overseas, constituting approximately 2.48% of the shares
outstanding.
(iii) Bev Partners owns beneficially 32,167 shares
of Common Stock, constituting less than 1% of the shares
outstanding.
(iv) Pharm Fund owns 79,760 shares of Common Stock,

(v) Jonas Partners owns 16,980 shares of Common Stock,
constituting less than 1% of the shares outstanding.
(vi) FK Trading owns no shares of Common Stock.

(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,

beneficially owned by EGS Partners, the 32,167 shares
beneficially owned by Bev Partners, the 79,760 shares
beneficially owned by Pharm Fund, and the 16,980 shares
beneficially owned by Jonas Partners. When the shares
beneficially owned by EGS Associates, EGS Partners, Bev Partners,
Pharm Fund, Jonas Partners, and FK Trading are aggregated, they
total 375,348 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately
4.84% of the shares outstanding.
(viii) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons
beneficially own a total of 385,348 shares of Common Stock,
constituting approximately 4.93% of the shares outstanding.
(b) (i) Each of EGS Associates, EGS Partners (with
respect to shares of EGS Overseas and other discretionary
accounts), Bev Partners, Jonas Partners, Pharm Fund and FK
Trading has the power to vote and to dispose of the shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by it, which power may be
exercised by the General Partners. Each of EGS Overseas and 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
shared power to vote and 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

until June 14, 1996 by EGS Associates, EGS Partners (excluding
EGS Overseas), EGS Overseas, Pharm Fund, Bev Partners, Jonas
Partners, and FK Trading, are set forth in Schedules A, B, C, D,
E, F, and G, respectively, and were all effected in the over-the-
counter market. During such period, 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.
(e) As of June 13, 1996, the Reporting Persons no
longer beneficially own 5% or more of the Common Stock.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONASHIPS
