The Schedule 13D, initially filed on March 30, 1990, as amended, of (i) EGS Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("EGS Associates"), (ii) EGS Partners, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("EGS Partners"), (iii) Bev Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Bev Partners"), (iv) Jonas Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Jonas Partners"), (v) William Ehrman, (vi) Frederic Greenberg, (vii) Frederick Ketcher, (viii) Jonas Gerstl, (ix) James McLaren, relating to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") issued by AEP Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), is hereby amended by this Amendment No. 20 to the Schedule 13D 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), EGS Overseas, BEV Partners and Jonas Partners is approximately $2,761,433, $8,035,500, $10,732, $662,902 and $59,844, respectively. The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of the shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Greenberg, and by members of his immediate family, is approximately $59,112. The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of the shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Ehrman and his immediate family (including his brother and his brother's wife), is approximately $1,959,556. The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of the shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Ketcher, is approximately $44,130. The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of the shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. McLaren, is approximately $37,500. The shares of Common Stock purchased by EGS Associates and Bev Partners were purchased with their investment capital (see Item 5(v)), and the shares of Common Stock purchased by EGS Partners were purchased with investment capital of the respective discretionary accounts under management of EGS Partners (the "Managed Accounts"). The shares of Common Stock purchased by Mr. Ehrman were purchased with personal funds, trust funds, or the funds of members of his immediate family. The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by EGS Associates, EGS Partners (excluding EGS Overseas), EGS Overseas, Bev Partners and Jonas Partners 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 Montgomery Securities, and may from time to time have debit balances. Non-margin accounts are maintained at Bankers Trust Company. 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. The shares owned by Mr. Greenberg are held in his IRA account and in margin accounts maintained at Goldman, Sachs & Co., or are beneficially owned by members of his immediate family. The shares owned by Mr. McLaren are held in an account maintained at Goldman, Sachs & Co. The shares owned by Mr. Ketcher are held in his various accounts maintained at Montgomery Securities. The shares owned by Mr. Ehrman are held in accounts maintained at Montgomery Securities or are beneficially owned by members of his immediate family (including his brother and his brother's wife). Currently, the interest rate charged on such various margin accounts is approximately 7.75% per annum. Item 5(ix) of Amendment No. 19 to the Schedule 13D is hereby corrected as follows: ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. (ix) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially own a total of 643,182 shares of Common Stock, constituting 8.98% of the shares outstanding. 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 7,209,589 shares outstanding, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 30, 1997, as reflected in the company's quarterly report on Form 10Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for the period ended April 30, 1997 (which is the most recent Form 10Q on file). As of the close of business on September 5, 1997: (i) EGS Associates owns beneficially 174,375 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 2.42% 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 329,938 shares (constituting approximately 4.58% of the shares outstanding), purchased for discretionary accounts managed by it, other than EGS Overseas, and 1,414 shares of Common Stock purchased for EGS Overseas (constituting approximately .02% of the shares outstanding), which, when aggregated, total 331,352 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 4.60% of the shares outstanding. (iii) Bev Partners owns beneficially 86,888 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 1.21% of the shares outstanding. (iv) Jonas Partners owns 7,883 shares of Common Stock, constituting less than 1% of the shares outstanding.

(viii) Mr. McLaren owns directly 1,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting less than 1% of the shares outstanding. (ix) Mr. Gerstl owns 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 174,375 shares beneficially owned by EGS Associates, the 331,352 shares beneficially owned by EGS Partners, the 86,888 shares beneficially owned by Bev Partners and the 7,883 shares beneficially owned by Jonas Partners. When the shares beneficially owned by EGS Associates, EGS Partners, Bev Partners, and Jonas Partners are aggregated, they total 600,498 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 8.33% of the shares outstanding. (x) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially own a total of 699,980 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 9.71% 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 and Jonas Partners has the power to vote and to dispose of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it, except for 3,000 shares held by one of the discretionary accounts, 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) Each Reporting Person that is an individual 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 shares owned by members of his immediate family. Mr. Ehrman has no power to vote and shared power to dispose of shares owned by members of his immediate family (including his brother and his brother's wife). (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 September 5, 1997 until September 5, 1997 by EGS Associates, EGS Partners (excluding EGS Overseas), and Bev Partners are set forth in Schedules A, B, and C, respectively. All such transactions were effected in the over-the-counter market. During such period, EGS Overseas, Jonas Partners and Messrs. Greenberg, Ketcher, Gerstl and McLaren did not enter into any transactions in the Common Stock. (d) No person other than each respective record owner referred to herein of shares of Common Stock 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.
