ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

WHX CORPORATION

      WHX  Corporation  ("WHX")  is a holding  company  that  invests  in and/or
manages  a group  of  businesses.  WHX's  primary  business  is  Handy &  Harman
(together with its subsidiaries,  "H&H"), a diversified  manufacturing  company.
H&H is also  principally  a  holding  company  which  owns  operating  companies
(described below). WHX also owns Bairnco Corporation.  See "Recent Developments"
below. WHX,  together with all of its subsidiaries,  shall be referred to herein
as the "Company".

      WHX acquired H&H in April 1998. H&H's operating  companies encompass three
segments (a) Tubing,  which  manufactures  and sells tubing products  fabricated
from stainless steel,  carbon steel and specialty  alloys;  (b) Precious Metals,
which  manufactures  and sells  precious  metal  brazing  products and precision
electroplated  materials and stamped parts; and (c) Engineered Materials,  which
manufactures   and  sells   engineered   materials   supplied  to  the  roofing,
construction,  natural gas, electric,  and water industries.  H&H's products are
sold to  industrial  users in a wide range of  applications  which  include  the
roofing,  construction,  electric,  electronic,  automotive  original equipment,
computer equipment, oil, refrigeration, utility, telecommunications, medical and
energy related industries.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

      The  Company's  business  strategy  is  (a)  to  enhance  the  growth  and
profitability  of H&H and to  build  upon  the  strengths  of  certain  of H&H's
businesses  through  internal  growth and  strategic  acquisitions,  and to make
profitable  acquisitions  from time to time and (b) to maximize the value of the
businesses of Bairnco.

      H&H expects to continue to focus on high margin  products  and  innovative
technology,  while  limiting  its  exposure  to  low  margin,  capital-intensive
businesses.  As part of  that  strategy,  in  March  2007,  H&H  sold  the  East
Providence,  Rhode Island facility of Handy & Harman Electronic Materials Corp.,
and in 2006, H&H closed its H&H Tube Co. Norristown,  Pennsylvania facility, and
sold its 50% interest in a Singapore  precious  metals  operation.  In 2005, H&H
closed its wire and cable  operations  and in 2002,  H&H  exited  certain of its
precious metal  activities  that had been part of its historical  business base.
H&H focuses its engineering expertise to expand production of higher value-added
products.  H&H from time to time  continues  to  evaluate  the sale of  non-core
assets  and   certain   underperforming   businesses,   as  well  as   strategic
acquisitions. WHX has provided, and may provide from time to time in the future,
information to interested  parties regarding portions of its non-core assets and
businesses.

      Pursuant to an Asset Purchase  Agreement  dated as of December 28, 2006, a
subsidiary of H&H acquired a mechanical roofing fastener business.  The purchase
price was approximately $26 million, including a working capital adjustment. The
assets acquired included, among other things, machinery, equipment,  inventories
of raw materials,  work-in-process  and finished  products,  certain  contracts,
accounts  receivable and  intellectual  property  rights,  all as related to the
acquired business and as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement. This acquired
business develops and manufactures  fastening systems for the commercial roofing
industry.  H&H believes this  acquisition  solidifies  its position as a leading
manufacturer and supplier of mechanical  fasteners,  accessories and components,
and  building  products  for  the  North  American  commercial  and  residential
construction industry.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

      On April 12, 2007, Steel Partners II, L.P.  ("Steel"),  a Delaware limited
partnership,  and  WHX  entered  into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement  whereby  WHX
acquired  Steel's entire interest in BZ Acquisition  Corp.  ("BZA"),  a Delaware
corporation  and  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Steel (the "BZA  Transfer")  for
$10.00.  In addition,  WHX agreed to reimburse all reasonable  fees and expenses
incurred by Steel in  connection  with the Offer and the Merger (each as defined
below). BZA is the acquisition subsidiary in a tender offer to acquire up to all
of  the  outstanding  stock  of  Bairnco  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation
("Bairnco") for $13.50 per share in cash. Steel  beneficially owns approximately
50.3% of WHX's outstanding common stock.

      Steel, BZA, and Bairnco entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
as of February 23, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement"),  pursuant to which BZA amended
its tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Bairnco at a
price of $13.50  per share in cash  (the  "Offer").  In  addition,  all  Bairnco
shareholders  of record on March 5, 2007 continued to be entitled to receive the
declared first quarter  dividend of $0.10 per share,  for total cash proceeds of
$13.60 per share.  On April 13, 2007,  upon the expiration of the Offer pursuant
to the Merger  Agreement,  BZA acquired  approximately  88.9% of the outstanding
common stock of Bairnco.

      Pursuant to the Merger  Agreement,  on April 24, 2007, BZA was merged with
and into Bairnco with  Bairnco  continuing  as the  surviving  corporation  as a
wholly owned  subsidiary of WHX (the  "Merger").  At the  effective  time of the
Merger,  each Bairnco common share then outstanding  (other than shares owned by
BZA or its direct parent  entity,  shares owned by Bairnco as treasury stock and
shares held by stockholders  who properly  exercise their appraisal  rights) was
automatically  converted  into the  right to  receive  $13.50  per share in cash
without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes.  Immediately prior
to the  Merger,  BZA held  approximately  90.1%  of the  outstanding  shares  of
Bairnco.  The  proceeds  required  to fund  the  closing  of the  Offer  and the
resulting Merger and to pay related fees and expenses were approximately  $101.5
million.


                                       3


      In  connection  with the  closing  of the  Offer,  initial  financing  was
provided by Steel through two facilities.  Steel extended to BZA bridge loans in
principal amount of approximately $75.1 million, $1.4 million, and $10.0 million
(and  may  extend  additional  loans of  approximately  $3.6  million,  up to an
aggregate  total amount of borrowings of $90.0  million)  pursuant to a Loan and
Security  Agreement (the "Bridge Loan Agreement"),  between BZA and Bairnco,  as
borrowers,  and Steel,  as lender.  In addition,  Steel  extended to WHX a $15.0
million  subordinated  loan, which is unsecured at the WHX level,  pursuant to a
Subordinated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Subordinated Loan Agreement" and,
together with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the "Loan Agreements"), between WHX, as
borrower,  and Steel, as lender.  WHX contributed the $15.0 million  proceeds of
the subordinated loan to BZA as a capital contribution.

      The Bridge  Loan  Agreement  provides  for bridge  term loans of up to $90
million  from  Steel to BZA,  which  were  assumed by Bairnco as a result of the
Merger.  Borrowings  under the Bridge Loan Agreement bear (i) cash interest at a
rate per annum  equal to the prime  rate of JP Morgan  Chase plus 1.75% and (ii)
pay-in-kind interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.5% for the first 90 days the
initial  loan is  outstanding  and 5%  (instead  of 4.5%) for the balance of the
term, each as adjusted from time to time. The minimum aggregate interest rate on
borrowings  under the Bridge Loan  Agreement is 14.5% per annum for the first 90
days the initial loan is  outstanding,  and 15% (instead of 14.5%) per annum for
the balance of the term, and the maximum  aggregate  interest rate on borrowings
under the Bridge Loan Agreement is 18% per annum. The cash interest rate and the
pay-in-kind  interest  rate may be adjusted  from time to time,  by agreement of
Steel and  Bairnco,  so long as the  aggregate  interest  rate remains the same.
Interest  is  payable  monthly in  arrears.  Obligations  under the Bridge  Loan
Agreement are guaranteed by certain of Bairnco's  subsidiaries  and secured by a
junior lien on the assets of Bairnco and certain of its subsidiaries and capital
stock of certain of Bairnco's  subsidiaries.  Obligations  under the Bridge Loan
Agreement  are  also  guaranteed  by the  Company  on an  unsecured  basis.  The
scheduled  maturity date of the indebtedness  under the Bridge Loan Agreement is
the earlier to occur of (i) June 30, 2008 and (ii) such time as Bairnco  obtains
any replacement  financing.  Indebtedness under the Bridge Loan Agreement may be
prepaid without penalty or premium.

      The Subordinated  Loan Agreement  provides for a subordinated term loan of
$15 million from Steel to WHX,  which is unsecured at the WHX level.  Borrowings
under the Subordinated  Loan Agreement bear  pay-in-kind  interest at a rate per
annum equal to the prime rate of JP Morgan Chase plus 7.75%,  adjusted from time
to time,  with a minimum  interest rate of 16% per annum and a maximum  interest
rate of 19% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Obligations under
the  Subordinated  Loan  Agreement are  guaranteed by Bairnco and certain of its
subsidiaries  and  secured by a junior lien on the assets of Bairnco and certain
of its subsidiaries and capital stock of certain of Bairnco's subsidiaries.  The
indebtedness  under the  Subordinated  Loan  Agreement will mature on the second
anniversary of the issuance of the subordinated  loan and may be prepaid without
penalty or premium.

      The  Loan  Agreements  contain  customary   representations,   warranties,
covenants,  events of default and indemnification  provisions.  The indebtedness
under  the  Bridge  Loan  Agreement  and  the  related  security   interests  is
subordinated to the indebtedness and related  security  interests  granted under
Bairnco's  existing  senior  credit  facility  with Bank of  America,  N.A.  The
guarantees of the  indebtedness  under the  Subordinated  Loan Agreement and the
related  security  interests is  subordinated to all  indebtedness  and security
interests described in the preceding sentence.

      Bairnco  operates two core  businesses - Arlon and Kasco.  Arlon  designs,
manufactures,  and sells engineered materials and components for the electronic,
industrial  and  commercial  markets.  Kasco is a leading  provider of meat-room
products  and  maintenance  services  for  the  meat  and  deli  departments  of
supermarkets;  restaurants;  meat,  poultry  and  fish  processing  plants;  and
manufacturers   and  distributors  of  electrical  saws  and  cutting  equipment
throughout North America,  Europe, Asia and South America. WHX believes that the
acquisition of Bairnco will be beneficial  because of Bairnco's strong positions
in niche engineered  materials markets, and that it will improve Bairnco's plant
level operations,  profit margins and working capital. The results of operations
and  assets of Bairnco  will be  included  in the  financial  statements  of WHX
beginning in the second quarter of 2007.

      Unless specifically provided herein,  references to the Company or similar
terms do not include Bairnco, which became a subsidiary of WHX in April 2007.

PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT MIX

      TUBING SEGMENT

      H&H manufactures a wide variety of steel tubing  products.  Small-diameter
precision-drawn  tubing fabricated from stainless steel, nickel alloy and carbon
and alloy steel is produced in many sizes and shapes to critical  specifications
for  use  in  the  appliance,  refrigeration,   petrochemical,   transportation,
semiconductor,  aircraft and instrumentation industries.  Additionally,  tubular
products are manufactured for the medical industry for use in implants, surgical
devices and instrumentation.


                                       4


      PRECIOUS METALS SEGMENT

      H&H's  precious  metals  activities  include the  fabrication  of precious
metals and their  alloys into  brazing  alloys and the  utilization  of precious
metals in precision electroplating.

      H&H's profits from precious metal brazing alloy  products are  principally
derived from the "value added" of processing and  fabricating  (and not from the
purchase and resale of) precious metals.  In accordance with general practice in
the industry,  prices to customers are generally a composite of two factors: (1)
the value of the precious metal content of the product and (2) the  "fabrication
value", which includes the cost of base metals, labor,  overhead,  financing and
profit.  Fabricated  precious metal brazing  alloys are used in many  industries
including   automotive,   air   conditioning,   general   industrial  and  other
metal-joining industries.

      H&H produced  precision-stamped,  electroplated  and molded  materials and
stamped  parts (often using gold,  silver,  palladium and various base metals on
such  materials  and  stamped  parts)  for use in the  automotive,  electronics,
telecommunications, semiconductor, and computer industries. The Company sold its
precision-stamping operation in March 2007.

      ENGINEERED MATERIALS SEGMENT

      H&H manufactures fasteners,  fastening systems, plastic and steel fittings
and connectors,  non-ferrous  thermite  welding powders,  and  electrogalvanized
products for the roofing, construction, appliance, do-it-yourself,  natural gas,
electric and water distribution industries.

CUSTOMERS

      H&H is diversified across industrial  markets and customers.  H&H sells to
customers in the construction, electronics,  telecommunications,  home appliance
OEM, transportation,  utility, medical,  semiconductor,  computer, aerospace and
general  manufacturing  industries.  In 2006 and 2005, no customer accounted for
more  than 5% of H&H's  sales.  In 2004,  one  customer  within  our  engineered
materials segment accounted for 7.1% of H&H's sales.

RAW MATERIALS

      The  raw  materials  used by H&H in its  precious  metal  segment  consist
principally of silver,  gold, copper,  zinc, nickel, tin, and the platinum group
metals in various forms. H&H purchases its precious metals at market prices from
primary  producers,  bullion  dealers,  or in the form of scrap.  The  prices of
silver,  gold,  and  palladium are subject to  fluctuations  and are expected to
continue to fluctuate and be affected by world market  conditions.  Nonetheless,
H&H has  generally  not  experienced  any  problem in  obtaining  the  necessary
quantities of raw materials.  To the extent that supplier or customer metals are
used by H&H,  the  amount  of  inventory  which H&H owns is  generally  reduced.
Precious  metal raw  materials  are  generally  readily  available  from several
sources.  H& H does not engage in  speculative  buying or  selling  of  precious
metals.

      The raw materials used by H&H in its non-precious metal operations consist
principally of stainless, galvanized, and carbon steel, nickel alloys, a variety
of high-performance alloys, and various plastic compositions.  H&H purchases all
such raw materials at open market  prices from  domestic and foreign  suppliers.
H&H has  generally  not  experienced  any  long-term  problem in  obtaining  the
necessary quantities of raw materials. Prices and availability,  particularly of
raw materials  purchased  from foreign  suppliers,  are affected by world market
conditions.

BACKLOG

      H&H has no material backlog.

CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

      The Company believes that H&H's business segments must continuously strive
to  improve   productivity  and  product  quality,  and  control  and/or  reduce
manufacturing costs, in order to remain competitive. Accordingly, H&H's business
segments  expect to continue to incur capital  investments  that reduce  overall
manufacturing costs,  improve the quality of products produced,  and broaden the
array of products  offered to H&H's several markets  served,  as well as replace
equipment as necessary to maintain  compliance  with  environmental,  health and
safety laws and  regulations.  H&H's capital  expenditures for 2006 and 2005 for
continuing operations were $7.7 million and $20.4 million, respectively. A major
capital  project in 2005 and 2006  consisted  of  establishing  a carbon  tubing
facility for the refrigeration and automotive  markets in Mexico.  Approximately
$10.0  million of the 2005  expenditures  related to a plant  expansion at H&H's
fastener  facility in Agawam,  MA. The level of capital  expenditure in 2006 and
prior  were  needed  to  expand  and  maintain  productive   capacity,   improve
productivity  and upgrade selected  facilities to meet competitive  requirements
and  maintain   compliance  with  environmental   health  and  safety  laws  and
regulations.  H&H anticipates funding its capital expenditures in 2007 from cash
on hand;  funds generated by operations and borrowed funds.  H&H anticipates its
capital expenditures will approximate  depreciation,  on average,  over the next
few years.  Other than at H&H,  the  Company did not make any  material  capital
expenditures in 2006.


                                       5


ENERGY REQUIREMENTS

      H&H requires significant amounts of electricity and natural gas to operate
its facilities and is subject to price changes in these commodities.  A shortage
of electricity or natural gas, or a government  allocation of supplies resulting
in a general reduction in supplies, could increase costs of production and could
cause some curtailment of production.

EMPLOYMENT

      Total active  employment  of the Company at December  31, 2006  aggregated
1,628 employees worldwide.  Of these employees,  514 were office employees,  466
were  covered  by  collective  bargaining  agreements  and  648  were  non-union
operating employees.

COMPETITION

      There are many  companies,  both domestic and foreign,  which  manufacture
tubing  products  and  other  specially  engineered  products  of the  type  H&H
manufactures.  There are also a number of  competitors in each of the classes of
precious metal products we sell.  Some of these  competitors  are larger than we
are and have financial  resources  greater than we do. Some of these competitors
enjoy certain other competitive advantages,  including greater name recognition;
greater financial,  technical, marketing and other resources; a larger installed
base of customers; and well-established relationships with current and potential
customers.  Competition is based on quality, technology,  service, and price and
in some  industries,  new  product  introduction,  each  of  which  is of  equal
importance.

PRIOR OPERATIONS

      WHX's   other   business   through   August   1,   2003,    consisted   of
Wheeling-Pittsburgh  Corporation  ("WPC") and six of its subsidiaries  including
Wheeling-Pittsburgh   Steel  Corporation   ("WPSC"),  a  vertically   integrated
manufacturer of value-added and flat rolled steel products.  WPSC, together with
WPC and its other subsidiaries shall be referred to herein as the "WPC Group."

      On November  16,  2000,  the WPC Group filed  petitions  for relief  under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States  Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern   District   of   Ohio,   and   continued   business    operations   as
debtors-in-possession until emerging from bankruptcy on August 1, 2003. Pursuant
to the terms of the WPC Plan of  Reorganization,  the WPC  Group  ceased to be a
subsidiary of WHX effective  August 1, 2003, and from that date forward has been
an  independent  company.  Accordingly,  as of November 16, 2000,  WHX no longer
consolidated WPC and the accompanying  financial data in the Report on Form 10-K
excludes the operating results of WPC for the periods after November 16, 2000.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

      This Report includes  "forward-looking  statements"  within the meaning of
Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act"),
and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including,  in particular,  forward-looking
statements under the headings "Item 7 - Management's  Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations"  and  "Item  8  -  Financial
Statements  and  Supplementary  Data."  These  statements  appear in a number of
places in this Report and include statements  regarding WHX's intent,  belief or
current  expectations  with  respect to (i) its  financing  plans,  (ii)  trends
affecting its financial condition or results of operations, and (iii) the impact
of competition.  The words "expect,"  "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe,"
"seek,"  "estimate,"  and similar  expressions  are  intended  to identify  such
forward-looking   statements;   however,   this  Report  also   contains   other
forward-looking statements in addition to historical information.

      Any  forward-looking  statements  made by WHX are not guarantees of future
performance  and there are various  important  factors  that could cause  actual
results  to  differ  materially  from  those  indicated  in the  forward-looking
statements. This means that indicated results may not be realized.

      Factors  that  could  cause the actual  results  of the  Company in future
periods to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following:

RISKS RELATING TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RECENTLY COMPLETED REORGANIZATION

WE HAVE A  HISTORY  OF  LOSSES  AND  CANNOT  ASSURE  YOU  THAT  WE WILL  ACHIEVE
PROFITABILITY IN 2007.

      We  have  incurred   significant  losses  and  negative  cash  flows  from
operations in recent years, and our prospects must be considered in light of the
risks, expenses, and difficulties  frequently encountered in operating a company
that has just emerged from  protection  under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy  Code
(see "Item 3 - Legal  Proceedings").  In addition,  the  consolidated  financial
statements for


                                       6


the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 have been prepared  assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. Note 1A to such consolidated financial
statements  included  in our  Annual  Report  on Form  10-K for the  year  ended
December 31, 2005  describes a number of  conditions  concerning  the  Company's
liquidity difficulties, and states that these conditions raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

      The Company incurred net operating losses of $18.2 million,  $34.7 million
and  $140.4  million  for the years  ended  December  31,  2006,  2005 and 2004,
respectively, and had negative cash flows from operations of $18.8 million, $5.0
million and $39.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004,
respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has an accumulated deficit of
$412.1 million and a working capital deficit of $1.6 million.  Additionally, the
Company has not been in  compliance  with certain of its bank  covenants and has
been  required to obtain a number of waivers  from its  lenders  related to such
covenants.

      As of December 31, 2006, WHX and its unrestricted subsidiaries had cash of
approximately  $0.8  million  and  current  liabilities  of  approximately  $7.5
million,  including  $5.1 million of  mandatorily  redeemable  preferred  shares
payable to a related party.  WHX is a holding company and has as its sole source
of cash flow distributions from its operating subsidiaries,  H&H and Bairnco, or
other  discrete  transactions.  H&H's  bank  credit  facilities  and term  loans
effectively  do not permit it to transfer  any cash or other assets to WHX (with
the  exception of an unsecured  loan for required  payments to the pension plan,
and for other uses of an unsecured loan in the aggregate principal amount not to
exceed  $3.5  million  under  certain  conditions),  and are  collateralized  by
substantially all of H&H's assets. Bairnco's revolving credit facility ("Bairnco
Revolving  Credit  Facility")  permits  distributions  by  Bairnco  to WHX under
certain  conditions.  WHX has no bank credit  facility of its own. WHX's ongoing
operating cash flow requirements  consist of funding the minimum requirements of
the WHX Pension Plan and paying other administrative costs.

      H&H's   availability   under  its  revolving  credit  facility  and  other
facilities as of December 31, 2006 was $19.1 million,  and as of March 31, 2007,
was  approximately  $15.5  million.  On March  29,  2007,  all such  facilities,
including the term loans,  were amended to (i) redefine  EBITDA,  (ii) reset the
levels  and  amend  certain  of  the  financial  covenants,   (iii)  extend  the
termination date of the credit  facilities from March 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008,
(iv)  permit  the  extension  by H&H to WHX of an  unsecured  loan for  required
payments to the  pension  plan,  under  certain  conditions,  and (v) permit the
extension  by H&H to WHX of an  unsecured  loan for other uses in the  aggregate
principal  amount not to exceed  $3.5  million  under  certain  conditions.  The
amendments also provided for waivers of certain events of default existing as of
March 29, 2007.

      In  connection  with the  closing of the Offer and the Merger on April 24,
2007,  Bairnco became a wholly-owned  subsidiary of WHX.  Initial  financing was
provided by Steel through two facilities in the approximate  aggregate amount of
$101.5 million.  In addition,  the Bairnco Revolving Credit Facility was amended
to permit the  closing of the Merger and  related  financing  transactions.  The
availability  under the Bairnco  Revolving Credit Facility on March 31, 2007 was
approximately  $12.0 million.  The Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility  permits
distributions by Bairnco to WHX under certain conditions.

      In addition to the obligations  under the current credit  facilities,  the
Company also has significant cash flow obligations, including without limitation
the amounts  due to the WHX  Pension  Plan (as amended by the IRS Waiver and the
PBGC  Settlement  Agreement  entered into  December 28,  2006).  There can be no
assurance  that the  funds  available  from  operations  and  under  its  credit
facilities  will be  sufficient  to fund debt  service  costs,  working  capital
demands and environmental remediation costs, or that the Company will be able to
obtain  replacement   financing  at  commercially   reasonable  terms  upon  the
expiration of the H&H and Bairnco credit facilities in June 2008.

      Throughout 2005 and 2006, the Company  experienced  liquidity  issues.  On
March 7, 2005, WHX (the parent company) filed a voluntary petition to reorganize
under Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy Code. WHX continued to operate
its business and own and manage its properties as a  debtor-in-possession  under
the  jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court until it emerged from protection under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on July 29, 2005.

      Since  emerging from  bankruptcy,  due to covenant  restrictions  in H&H's
credit  facilities,  there  have  been no  dividends  from H&H to WHX and  WHX's
sources of cash flow have consisted of:

      o     The issuance of $5.1 million in preferred  stock by a newly  created
            subsidiary  in October  2005,  which was invested in the equity of a
            public company (Cosine Communications Inc.); and


                                       7


      o     Partial payment of the H&H subordinated debt to WHX of $9.0 million,
            which  required  the  approval  of the  banks  participating  in the
            H&H bank credit  facilities.  Subsequent to this  transaction in
            2006, the remaining  intercompany  loan balance of the  subordinated
            debt of $44.2 million was converted to equity.

      o     As permitted by the March 29, 2007  Amendment and Waiver to the Loan
            and Security  Agreements,  an  unsecured  loan from H&H for required
            payments to the  pension  plan,  and for other uses of an  unsecured
            loan in the  aggregate  principal  amount not to exceed $3.5 million
            under certain conditions.

      o     A  $15.0  million   subordinated  loan  from  Steel  pursuant  to  a
            Subordinated  Loan and Security  Agreement between WHX, as borrower,
            and Steel,  as lender.  WHX used the $15.0  million  proceeds of the
            subordinated loan as a capital contribution to acquire Bairnco.

WE SPONSOR A DEFINED  BENEFIT PENSION PLAN WHICH COULD SUBJECT US TO SUBSTANTIAL
CASH FUNDING REQUIREMENTS IN THE FUTURE.

      On September 15, 2006, WHX was required to make a minimum  contribution to
the WHX  Pension  Plan for the 2005  plan year in the  amount of $15.5  million.
However,  we did not make that  contribution due to liquidity issues. We applied
to the Internal  Revenue  Service ("IRS") for a funding waiver for the 2005 plan
year,  and on December 20,  2006,  the IRS granted a  conditional  waiver of the
minimum funding  requirements  for the 2005 plan year in accordance with section
412 (d) of the Internal Revenue Code and section 303 of the Employee  Retirement
Income and Security Act of 1974, as amended  ("ERISA")  (the "IRS  Waiver").  On
December 28, 2006, WHX, H&H, and the Pension Benefit  Guaranty  Corporation (the
"PBGC")  entered into the PBGC  Settlement  Agreement in connection with the IRS
Waiver  and  certain  other  matters.  The IRS  Waiver  is  subject  to  certain
conditions,  including a requirement  that the Company meet the minimum  funding
requirements  for the WHX Pension  Plan for the plan years  ending  December 31,
2006 through 2010, without applying for a waiver of such requirements.  The PBGC
Settlement  Agreement  and related  agreements  include the  following:  (i) the
amortization of the waived amount of $15.5 million (the "Waiver  Amount") over a
period of five years, (ii) the PBGC's consent to increase borrowings under H&H's
senior  credit  facility to $125  million in  connection  with the closing of an
acquisition  (iii) the resolution of any potential  issues under Section 4062(e)
of ERISA, in connection  with the cessation of operations at certain  facilities
owned by WHX,  H&H or their  subsidiaries,  and (iv) the granting to the PBGC of
subordinate  liens on the  assets  of H&H and its  subsidiaries,  and  specified
assets of WHX, to collateralize WHX's obligation to pay the Waiver Amount to the
WHX Pension  Plan and to make  certain  payments to the WHX Pension  Plan in the
event of its termination.  As a result of the PBGC Settlement  Agreement and the
IRS Waiver,  based on  estimates  from WHX's  actuary,  the Company  expects its
minimum funding  requirement for the specific plan year and the  amortization of
the 2005 requirement to be $13.1 million (paid in full in 2006),  $10.8 million,
$11.0  million,  $8.9  million,  $7.0  million and $2.3 million  (which  amounts
reflect the recent passage of the Pension Protection Act of 2006) in 2006, 2007,
2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

      Our  pension  benefit  costs  are  developed  from  actuarial  valuations.
Inherent  in these  valuations  are  assumptions  including  discount  rates and
expected  long-term  rates of return on plan  assets.  Material  changes  in our
pension  costs may occur in the future due to changes in market  conditions  not
consistent with the assumptions,  changes in assumptions,  or other changes such
as a plan  termination,  in which case there may be additional claims related to
payment for unfunded liabilities.

H&H'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MAY BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY VARIATIONS IN INTEREST
RATES.

      The H&H credit  facilities  are  collateralized  by  accounts  receivable,
inventory,  and  property,  plant and  equipment.  These credit  facilities  are
variable rate obligations which expose H&H to interest rate risks.

WARREN G. LICHTENSTEIN,  OUR CHAIRMAN, AND CERTAIN OTHER OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS,
THROUGH THEIR AFFILIATION WITH STEEL PARTNERS II, L.P., HAS THE ABILITY TO EXERT
SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER OUR OPERATIONS.

      Warren G. Lichtenstein,  our Chairman,  as the sole managing member of the
general  partner of Steel Partners II, L.P., is also deemed to own  beneficially
the shares of our common stock owned by Steel  Partners II, L.P.  Steel Partners
II, L.P.  beneficially  owns 5,029,793 shares of our common stock,  representing
approximately 50.3% of our outstanding common stock. Mr.  Lichtenstein,  as sole
managing  member and the general  partner of Steel  Partners II, L.P.,  has sole
investment  and  voting  control  over the  shares  beneficially  owned by Steel
Partners II, L.P. and thus has the ability to exert  significant  influence over
our policies and affairs,  including  the election of our Board of Directors and
the approval of any action  requiring a stockholder  vote, such as amendments to
our Certificate of Incorporation and approving mergers or sales of substantially
all of our assets,  as well as matters where the  interests of Mr.  Lichtenstein
and  Steel  Partners  II,  L.P.  may  differ  from the  interests  of our  other
stockholders in some respects.  In addition,  employees of an affiliate of Steel
Partners II, L.P. hold  positions  with WHX,  including  Glen M. Kassan as Chief
Executive Officer and John J. Quicke as Vice President, and as directors.


                                       8


RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESSES

IN MANY CASES,  H&H'S COMPETITORS ARE LARGER THAN US AND HAVE  MANUFACTURING AND
FINANCIAL  RESOURCES  GREATER  THAN WE DO,  WHICH MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE  IMPACT ON
H&H'S BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS OR FINANCIAL CONDITION.

      There are many  companies,  both domestic and foreign,  which  manufacture
tubing  products  and  other  specially  engineered  products  of the  type  H&H
manufactures.  There are also a number of  competitors in each of the classes of
precious metal products we sell.  Some of these  competitors  are larger than we
are and have financial  resources  greater than we do. Some of these competitors
enjoy certain other competitive advantages,  including greater name recognition;
greater financial,  technical, marketing and other resources; a larger installed
base of customers; and well-established relationships with current and potential
customers.  Competition is based on quality, technology,  service, and price and
in some  industries,  new  product  introduction,  each  of  which  is of  equal
importance. H&H may not be able to compete successfully and competition may have
a negative impact on its business,  operating results or financial  condition by
reducing volume of products sold and/or selling prices, and accordingly reducing
its revenues and profits.

H&H'S PROFITABILITY MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY FLUCTUATIONS IN THE COST OF RAW
MATERIALS.

      H&H is  exposed  to  market  risk and  price  fluctuation  related  to the
purchase of natural  gas,  electricity,  precious  metals,  steel  products  and
certain non-ferrous metals used as raw materials.  Its results of operations may
be  adversely  affected  during  periods  in which  either  the  prices  of such
commodities are unusually high or their  availability  is restricted.  H&H holds
precious metal positions that are subject to market fluctuations. Precious metal
inventory  is included  in  inventory  using the  last-in,  first-out  method of
inventory  accounting.  H&H enters into forward or future  contracts  with major
financial institutions to reduce the economic risk of price fluctuations.

H&H'S BUSINESSES ARE SUBJECT TO GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.

      H&H  operates  in a wide  range of  manufacturing  businesses  that  serve
customers  in  the  construction,  electric,  electronic,  home  appliance  OEM,
automotive,  refrigeration,  utility,  telecommunications,  medical  and  energy
related  industries.  As a result,  H&H's results of  operations  tend not to be
disproportionately  affected  by any one  industry  or  segment,  but tend to be
affected by general economic  conditions and other factors worldwide,  including
fluctuations in interest rates,  customer demand,  labor costs and other factors
beyond its control.  The demand for H&H's  customers'  products and,  therefore,
H&H's products, is directly affected by such fluctuations.

THE LOSS OF ANY OF OUR MAJOR CUSTOMERS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT H&H'S REVENUES AND
FINANCIAL HEALTH.

      In 2006, H&H's 15 largest customers accounted for approximately 27% of its
consolidated net sales. If H&H were to lose any of its relationships  with these
customers, its revenues and profitability could fall significantly.

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY INCLUDES  SELECTIVE  ACQUISITIONS AND ACQUISITIONS  ENTAIL
NUMEROUS RISKS.

      Our  business  strategy  includes,   among  other  things,  strategic  and
selective  acquisitions.  See Item 1 -  "Business - Recent  Developments."  This
element of our  strategy  entails  several  risks,  including  the  diversion of
management's  attention  from  other  business  concerns,  whether or not we are
successful in finding  acquisitions,  and the need to finance such  acquisitions
with additional equity and/or debt.

      In addition,  once found,  acquisitions  entail further risks,  including:
unanticipated costs, including  environmental  liabilities that could materially
adversely  affect  our  results  of  operations;  difficulties  in  assimilating
acquired  businesses;  and negative effects on existing  business  relationships
with suppliers and customers.

H&H'S  COMPETITIVE  ADVANTAGE COULD BE REDUCED IF ITS  INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY OR
RELATED PROPRIETARY  MANUFACTURING  PROCESSES BECOME KNOWN BY ITS COMPETITORS OR
IF TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES REDUCE H&H'S CUSTOMERS' NEED FOR ITS PRODUCTS.

      H&H owns a number of  trademarks  and  patents  (in the United  States and
other  jurisdictions)  on its  products  and related  proprietary  manufacturing
processes.  In addition to trademark and patent protection,  H&H relies on trade
secrets,  proprietary  know-how  and  technological  advances  that it  seeks to
protect.  If H&H's  intellectual  property is not properly protected by it or is
independently  discovered by others or otherwise  becomes known,  its protection
against competitive products could be diminished.

H&H COULD INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS,  INCLUDING  REMEDIATION COSTS, AS A RESULT OF
COMPLYING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.

      H&H's  facilities and  operations  are subject to extensive  environmental
laws and regulations  imposed by federal,  state,  foreign and local authorities
relating to the protection of the environment. It could incur substantial costs,
including cleanup costs, fines or sanctions, and third-party claims for property
damage or personal  injury,  as a result of violations of or  liabilities  under
environmental  laws. H&H has incurred,  and in the future may continue to incur,
liability  under  environmental  statutes  and  regulations  with respect to the


                                       9


contamination detected at sites owned or operated by it (including contamination
caused by prior owners and operators of such sites,  abutters or other  persons)
and the sites at which H&H disposed of hazardous substances.  As of December 31,
2006,  we have  established  a reserve  totaling  $9.4  million  with respect to
certain presently estimated  environmental  remediation costs. This $9.4 million
reserve  may not be  adequate  to  cover  the  ultimate  costs  of  remediation,
including  discovery of additional  contaminants or the imposition of additional
cleanup  obligations  which could result in  significant  additional  costs.  In
addition,  H&H  expects  that  future  regulations,  and  changes in the text or
interpretation of existing regulations, may subject it to increasingly stringent
standards.  Compliance with such  requirements  may make it necessary for H&H to
retrofit  existing  facilities  with  additional   pollution-control  equipment,
undertake new measures in connection with the storage, transportation, treatment
and disposal of  by-products  and wastes or take other steps,  which may be at a
substantial cost to H&H.

FACTORS   AFFECTING   THE  VALUE  OF   SECURITIES   ISSUED  UNDER  THE  PLAN  OF
REORGANIZATION

THERE IS NO ESTABLISHED MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.

      No  established  market exists for our common  stock.  Our common stock is
presently quoted on the pink sheets.  Following the filing of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K and other  delinquent  periodic  reports  due under the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  we anticipate  that our new common stock will
be quoted  on the OTC  Bulletin  Board,  and we  expect  to  cooperate  with any
registered  broker-dealer  who may seek to  initiate  price  quotations  for our
common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Again, however, no assurance can be made
that such  securities will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or that an active
trading  market will exist.  There can be no assurance as to the degree of price
volatility  in any  market  for our common  stock  that does  develop.  Transfer
restrictions  contained in our charter to help preserve our net  operating  loss
carryovers will generally  prevent any person from rapidly  acquiring amounts of
our  common  stock  such that such  person  would  hold 5% or more of our common
stock,  in each case for up to ten years after July 29,  2005,  as  specifically
provided in our charter. These transfer restrictions could hinder development of
an active market for our common stock.

WE DO NOT  ANTICIPATE  PAYING  DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE  FORESEEABLE
FUTURE WHICH MAY LIMIT INVESTOR DEMAND.

      We do not  anticipate  paying any  dividends  on our  common  stock in the
foreseeable  future.  Such lack of dividend prospects may have an adverse impact
on the market demand for our common stock as certain institutional investors may
invest only in  dividend-paying  equity  securities  or may operate  under other
restrictions  that may  prohibit or limit their  ability to invest in our common
stock.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

      As of December 31, 2006, H&H had 18 active  operating plants in the United
States,  Canada,  Denmark,  France,  Mexico,  and Malaysia  with a total area of
approximately 1,372,000 square feet, including warehouse,  office and laboratory
space.  H&H also owns or leases sales, service and warehouse facilities at 6
other locations in the United States (which, with H&H's general offices,  have a
total area of  approximately  82,000  square feet) and owns 4  non-operating  or
discontinued  locations with a total area of approximately  266,950 square feet.
H&H  considers its  manufacturing  plants and service  facilities to be well
maintained and efficiently  equipped,  and therefore suitable for the work being
done.  The  productive  capacity and extent of  utilization of its facilities is
dependent in some cases on general business conditions and in other cases on the
seasonality of the utilization of its products. Capacity can be expanded at some
locations.  Manufacturing  facilities  of H&H are located in:  Toronto,  Canada;
Camden,  Delaware;  Kolding,  Denmark;  Evansville  and  Indianapolis,  Indiana;
Agawam,  Massachusetts;  Middlesex,  New Jersey;  Canastota, New York, Canfield,
Ohio; Tulsa and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma;  East Providence,  Rhode Island; Cudahy,
Wisconsin;  Itasca,  Illinois;  Coahuila,  Mexico; Riberac,  France; and Penang,
Malaysia. In March 2007, H&H sold its East Providence, Rhode Island facility.

      All plants are owned except for the Canastota, Middlesex, Itasca, Riberac,
Coahuila, and Penang plants, which are leased.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

BANKRUPTCY FILING

      On March 7, 2005,  WHX filed a  voluntary  petition  to  reorganize  under
Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy  Court. WHX
continued  to operate  its  businesses  and own and manage its  properties  as a
debtor-in-possession  under  the  jurisdiction  of the  Bankruptcy  Court and in
accordance  with the  applicable  provisions  of the  Bankruptcy  Code  until it
emerged from  protection  under  Chapter 11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code on July 29,
2005.

      Neither  H&H,  nor any of WHX's other  subsidiaries  or  affiliates,  were
included  in its  Bankruptcy  Filing.  All of H&H's  operating  units  conducted
business in the ordinary course during the bankruptcy.  WHX's Bankruptcy  Filing
was  primarily  intended to reduce its debt,  simplify  its  capital  structure,
reduce its overall cost of capital and provide it with better  access to capital
markets.


                                       10


      On March 7, 2005, WHX also filed a proposed Plan of  Reorganization  and a
related  proposed  disclosure  statement with the Bankruptcy  Court.  On June 7,
2005, WHX filed its first amended Chapter 11 Plan and on June 8, 2005, WHX filed
its second amended  Disclosure  Statement.  On July 21, 2005, WHX  Corporation's
Chapter 11 Plan of  Reorganization  was confirmed by the Bankruptcy  Court.  The
Plan became effective on July 29, 2005 (the "Effective Date").

      The  Bankruptcy  Filing  created an event of default  under the  Indenture
governing WHX's 10 1/2% Senior Notes due April 15, 2005.  Under the terms of the
Senior Notes, as a result of the Bankruptcy  Filing, the entire unpaid principal
and accrued interest (and any other additional  amounts) became  immediately due
and payable  without any action on the part of the trustee or the note  holders.
The  principal  amount  outstanding  under the Senior Notes at March 7, 2005 was
approximately $92.8 million. Accrued interest to March 7, 2005 was approximately
$3.8 million.

      The  following is a summary of certain  material  features of the Plan and
the Confirmation Order. On the Effective Date:

      o     All of WHX's outstanding securities,  including WHX's pre-bankruptcy
            filing common stock,  Series A preferred  stock,  Series B preferred
            stock and 10 1/2% Senior  Notes were deemed  cancelled  and annulled
            without further act or action.

      o     In full and complete  satisfaction  of all such  claims,  holders of
            WHX's 10 1/2% Senior Notes received 9,200,000 shares of common stock
            representing their prorated share of the reorganized company.  These
            shares represent 92% of the equity in the reorganized company.

      o     In full and complete  satisfaction of all such  interests,  Series A
            preferred  stockholders  received  366,322  shares of  common  stock
            representing  their  prorated share of the  reorganized  company and
            344,658  warrants  to  purchase  common  stock  of  the  reorganized
            company,  exercisable  at $11.20 per share and  expiring on February
            28, 2008.

      o     In full and complete  satisfaction of all such  interests,  Series B
            preferred  stockholders  received  433,678  shares of  common  stock
            representing  their  prorated share of the  reorganized  company and
            408,030  warrants  to  purchase  common  stock  of  the  reorganized
            company,  exercisable  at $11.20 per share and  expiring on February
            28, 2008.

      o     Holders of WHX's  pre-bankruptcy  filing  common  stock  received no
            distribution under the Plan.

      The  common  stock  received  by  the  Series  A and  Series  B  preferred
stockholders,  collectively,  represents  8% of the  equity  in the  reorganized
company.   The  warrants   issued  to  the  Series  A  and  Series  B  preferred
stockholders,  collectively, represent the right to purchase an additional 7% of
the equity of the reorganized company after giving effect to the exercise of the
warrants.

      On the  Effective  Date,  all of the  assets  of WHX  were  vested  in the
reorganized  company  free and clear of all liens,  causes of  actions,  claims,
encumbrances,  equity interests,  and interests against,  in, or on such assets,
except as explicitly provided in the Plan.

SUMCO INC. V.  UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD'S,  LONDON,  LEXINGTON  INSURANCE  COMPANY,
HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY, AND WURTTEMBERGISCHE VERSICHERUNG AG

      On July 7, 2004, Sumco Inc. ("Sumco"),  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of H&H,
filed suit in the  Marion  County  Superior  Court of  Indiana  against  certain
underwriters  affiliated  with Lloyd's,  London,  Lexington  Insurance  Company,
Hartford Fire  Insurance  Company,  and  Wurttembergische  Versicherung  AG (the
defendants).  Sumco seeks to recover  monies from these  insurance  carriers for
losses  incurred  as a result of a January  20,  2002 fire at its metal  plating
facility  in  Indianapolis,  Indiana.  At the time of the fire,  Sumco's  parent
corporation,  WHX, had in place  layered fire  insurance  policies with combined
limits of $25 million and a deductible  of $100,000.  The  defendants  represent
carriers  who  provided  $15  million  in  insurance  coverage  in excess of two
underlying  policies of $5 million  each.  Defendants  have  previously  paid $5
million in claims.  Sumco  contends  that its losses are in excess of the policy
limits,  defendants  have acted in bad  faith,  and that it is  entitled  to the
payment of the remaining  approximate $10 million in insurance coverage provided
by the  defendants.  In December 2006, the Court ruled on the Motion for Summary
Judgment.  It denied the insurers'  motion for summary judgment on the bad faith
claims and limited  the  compensatory  damages  that Sumco  could  recover.  The
defendants  have denied the  allegations  of the complaint and asserted  certain
defenses.  The parties settled their claims in May 2007 for an aggregate payment
to WHX of $5,689,276 from the defendants, and an assignment of their interest to
WHX in up to another $1.7 million in proceeds  resulting  from the settlement of
subrogation  claims  against  various third  parties (the recovery of which,  in
whole  or  part,  is not  assured).  Steel  Partners  has a first  lien on these
proceeds and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has a second lien.

HANDY & HARMAN  REFINING  GROUP,  INC.,  DEBTOR  PLAINTIFFS  V.  HANDY & HARMAN,
DEFENDANT

      H&H was a defendant in a lawsuit (the "Indemnity Action") filed by Handy &
Harman Refining Group, Inc. ("HHRG") (an unrelated party to H&H) seeking a money
judgment in the amount of $8.5 million, plus interest,  which as of December 31,
2005 was alleged to be  approximately  $4.0  million,  for an alleged  breach of
contract in connection with H&H's sale of its Precious Metals Refining  Division
to HHRG in 1996.  HHRG  subsequently  filed for  Chapter  11 and  commenced  the


                                       11


Indemnity  Action in the  Bankruptcy  Court on or about August 14,  2002.  On or
about May 26, 2004,  the Indemnity  Action was  transferred to the United States
District  Court for the District of  Connecticut.  H&H filed a proof of claim in
the HHRG  bankruptcy  which  had an  outstanding  amount of  approximately  $1.9
million and funds had been set aside in that amount by HHRG. The parties settled
this matter in June 2006 for the  surrender of the full amount of H&H's proof of
claim of $1.9 million  plus a payment of $438,000 to HHRG.  The  settlement  was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

HH EAST PARCEL, LLC. V. HANDY & HARMAN

      This action  arises out of a purchase and sale  agreement  entered into in
2003  whereby  H&H agreed to sell the  eastern  parcel of a  commercial  site in
Fairfield,  Connecticut to HH East Parcel, LLC ("HH East"). On or about April 5,
2005,  HH East  filed a Demand for  Arbitration  with the  American  Arbitration
Association  seeking  legal and  equitable  relief  including  completion of the
remediation of environmental conditions at the site in accordance with the terms
of  the  agreement.  An  arbitration  hearing  was  held  in  November  2005  in
Connecticut, pursuant to which HH East was awarded an amount equal to $5,000 per
day from January 1, 2005  through the date on which  remediation  is  completed.
This award amounts to approximately  $4.0 million through the completion date of
April 6, 2007.  H&H  applied to the  Superior  Court of  Connecticut,  Fairfield
County,  to have the arbitration award vacated and a decision was issued on June
26, 2006,  denying H&H's  application.  H&H is appealing this decision.  H&H has
been working  cooperatively  with the  Connecticut  Department of  Environmental
Protection  ("CTDEP")  with  respect to its  obligations  under a consent  order
entered into in 1989 that applies to both the eastern and western parcels of the
property. H&H has been conducting an investigation of the western parcel, and is
continuing the process of evaluating  various options for its  remediation.  The
sale of the  eastern  parcel that is the  subject of this  litigation  triggered
statutory  obligations  under  Connecticut  law  to  investigate  and  remediate
pollution  at  or  emanating  from  the  eastern   parcel.   H&H  completed  the
investigation  and  has  been  actively  conducting   remediation  of  all  soil
conditions  on the  eastern  parcel  for more  than  three  years.  Although  no
groundwater  remediation  is  required,  there  will be  monitoring  of same for
several years. Remediation of all soil conditions on site was completed on April
6, 2007. The total  remediation  is expected to exceed $28.0  million,  of which
approximately  $23.9 million had been expended  through  December 31, 2006.  H&H
received  reimbursement  of $2.0 million of these costs from its carrier under a
cost-cap  insurance  policy  and  is  pursuing  its  potential   entitlement  to
additional coverage.

PAUL E. DIXON & DENNIS C. KELLY V. HANDY & HARMAN

      Two former  officers of H&H filed a Statement  of Claim with the  American
Arbitration  Association  ("Arbitration") on or about January 3, 2006,  alleging
four claims  against H&H. The Claimants  were  employees of H&H until  September
2005 when their  employment was terminated by H&H. Their claims include  seeking
payments allegedly due under employment contracts and allegedly arising from the
terminations,  and seeking  recovery of benefits  under what they allege was the
Handy & Harman Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

      The Statement of Claim recites that the  employment  agreements of each of
the  Claimants  provides that H&H may  terminate  their  employment at any time,
without prior notice,  for any of the following  reasons:  "(i) [the  officer's]
engaging  in conduct  which is  materially  injurious  to [H&H] or [WHX],  their
subsidiaries  or  affiliates,  or any of their  respective  customer or supplier
relationships, monetarily or otherwise; (ii) [the officer's] engaging in any act
of fraud,  misappropriation  or embezzlement or any act which would constitute a
felony (other than minor traffic violations);  or (iii) [the officer's] material
breach of the  agreement." The Statement of Claim further  alleges,  and H&H has
not disputed,  that each Claimant's  employment was terminated in September 2005
pursuant to a letter,  which  stated in part,  that each  Claimant  had violated
provisions of such  officer's  employment  agreement,  contained in the previous
sentence,  "by, INTER ALIA, attempting to amend and put in place various benefit
plans to  personally  benefit  yourself,  without  notice to, or approval of the
Board of  Directors;  for  further  failing to  disclose  the  existence  of the
relevant  plan  documents  and other  information  to the Board;  for failing to
cooperate in the Company's investigation of these important issues; for material
losses to the Company in connection with these actions....".

      In the  Arbitration,  Claimants  sought an award in  excess of $4  million
each,  plus  interest,   costs  and  attorneys'  fees.   Claimants  also  sought
indemnification for certain matters and an injunction against H&H with regard to
life insurance  policies.  H&H brought a special proceeding on February 15, 2006
in the  Supreme  Court of the State of New York,  County of  Westchester,  for a
judgment staying the arbitration of three of the four claims. On March 10, 2006,
all of the parties filed a stipulation with the court,  discontinuing  the court
proceeding and agreeing therein, among other things, that all claims asserted by
the  Claimants in the  Arbitration  (which was also  discontinued  at that time)
would be asserted in Supreme Court, Westchester County.

      In April 2006,  Claimants  served a request for  benefits,  severance  and
other  amounts,  similar  to those  described  above,  on H&H and  various  plan
administrators and fiduciaries  thereof.  The request was reviewed in accordance
with the  procedures  of the plans at issue and by letter  dated  September  27,
2006,  Claimants were notified that their request was largely denied. They filed
an appeal on December  11, 2006 with the Plan  Administrator,  which  appeal was
denied on  February 9, 2007.  While no action is pending in any court,  H&H does
not  believe  that it is liable to  Claimants  under the  claims  that have been
asserted to date, and it intends to defend itself vigorously  against any claims
that may be asserted by  Claimants.  There can be no assurance  that H&H will be
successful in defending  against any such claims,  or that H&H will not have any
liability  on  account  of  claims  that  may be  asserted  by  Claimants.  Such
liability, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, and accordingly,
there  can be no  assurance  that  the  resolution  of this  matter  will not be
material to the financial  position,  results of operations and cash flow of the
Company.


                                       12


ARISTA DEVELOPMENT LLC V. HANDY & HARMAN ELECTRONIC MATERIALS CORPORATION

      In  2004,  a  subsidiary  of H&H  entered  into  an  agreement  to  sell a
commercial/industrial  property  in  North  Attleboro,  Massachusetts.  Disputes
between  the  parties  led to suit being  brought in Bristol  Superior  Court in
Massachusetts.  The plaintiff  alleges that H&H is liable for breach of contract
and  certain  consequential  damages  as a result  of H&H's  termination  of the
agreement in 2005, although H&H subsequently  revoked its notice of termination.
H&H has denied  liability and has been vigorously  defending the case. The court
entered a preliminary  injunction  enjoining H&H from  conveying the property to
anyone other than the  plaintiff  during the pendency of the case.  Discovery on
liability and damages has been stayed while the parties are actively  engaged in
settlement  discussions,  on which they have  reached  agreement  in  principle,
subject to certain conditions.  Concurrently with these settlement efforts,  H&H
is  continuing  to  comply  with a 1987  consent  order  from the  Massachusetts
Department of  Environmental  Protection  ("MADEP") to investigate and remediate
the soil and  groundwater  conditions.  H&H is in discussions  with the EPA, the
MADEP and the  plaintiff  in  connection  with the  remedial  activities.  Since
discovery  is not  completed,  it  cannot be known at this  time  whether  it is
foreseeable  or probable  that  plaintiff  would  prevail in the  litigation  or
whether H&H would have any liability to the plaintiff.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS

      H&H entered into an administrative  consent order (the "ACO") in 1986 with
the New Jersey Department of Environmental  Protection  ("NJDEP") with regard to
certain  property  that it  purchased  in 1984 in New Jersey.  The ACO  involves
remediation  to be performed with regard to soil and  groundwater  contamination
allegedly  from TCE.  H&H settled a case  brought by the local  municipality  in
regard to this  site in 1998 and also  settled  with  certain  of its  insurance
carriers. H&H is actively remediating the property and continuing to investigate
the most  effective  methods for achieving  compliance  with the ACO. A remedial
investigation  report  was  filed  with  the  NJDEP  in May of  2006.  Once  the
investigation has been completed, it will be followed by a feasibility study and
a remedial  action work plan that will be  submitted to NJDEP.  H&H  anticipates
entering into discussions in the near future with NJDEP to address that agency's
natural  resource damage claims,  the ultimate scope and cost of which cannot be
estimated at this time. The ongoing cost of  remediation is presently  estimated
at approximately  $450,000 per year, plus anticipated  additional costs in early
2007 of  approximately  $700,000.  Pursuant to a settlement  agreement  with the
former operator of this facility,  the responsibility for site investigation and
remediation  costs have been  allocated,  75% to the former  operator and 25% to
H&H. To date, total  investigation and remediation costs of $237,000 and $79,000
have been settled by the former  operator and H&H,  respectively,  in accordance
with this agreement.  Additionally,  H&H is currently being  reimbursed  through
insurance  coverage  for a portion  of those  costs for  which  the  company  is
responsible.  There is additional excess insurance coverage which H&H intends to
pursue as necessary.

      H&H has been identified as a potentially  responsible  party ("PRP") under
the  Comprehensive  Environmental  Response,   Compensation  and  Liability  Act
("CERCLA") or similar state statutes at several sites and is a party to ACO's in
connection  with  certain  properties.  H&H may be subject to joint and  several
liability  imposed  by CERCLA on  potentially  responsible  parties.  Due to the
technical and regulatory  complexity of remedial activities and the difficulties
attendant in  identifying  potentially  responsible  parties and  allocating  or
determining  liability  among them,  H&H is unable to  reasonably  estimate  the
ultimate cost of compliance with such laws.

      In a case entitled AGERE SYSTEMS,  INC., ET AL. V. ADVANCED  ENVIRONMENTAL
TECHNOLOGY CORP., ET AL. (U.S.  District Court,  EDPA),  five companies,  all of
which are PRPs for the Boarhead Farm site in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, brought
CERCLA contribution and similar claims under  Pennsylvania's  environmental laws
against a number of companies in 2002,  including a subsidiary of H&H, which the
plaintiffs claim  contributed to the  contamination of the Boarhead Farm site. A
number of the  plaintiffs  entered  into  settlements  with several of the named
defendants and consent decrees with the Environmental  Protection Agency ("EPA")
regarding the remediation of groundwater and soil  contamination at the Boarhead
Farm site.  There are currently  nine  non-settling  defendants,  including H&H,
against which the plaintiffs are pursuing their claims.  Fact discovery has been
concluded and the parties are engaged in expert  discovery.  The plaintiffs have
already made  substantial  payments to the EPA in past  response  costs and have
themselves   incurred  costs  for  groundwater  and  soil   remediation,   which
remediation is continuing.  Plaintiffs are seeking reimbursement of a portion of
amounts  incurred  and an  allocation  of future  amounts from H&H and the other
non-settling defendants. H&H has been advised by counsel that its responsibility
for this site,  if any,  should be minimal and has  demanded  coverage  from its
insurance  carrier for any claims for which it could be held  liable.  It is not
possible to reasonably  estimate the cost of remediation or H&H's share, if any,
of the liability at this time.

      H&H received a notice letter from the EPA in August 2006  formally  naming
H&H as a PRP at the Shpack landfill superfund site in Attleboro,  Massachusetts.
H&H then  voluntarily  joined a group of ten (10)  other PRPs  (which  group has
since increased to thirteen (13)) to work cooperatively regarding remediation of
this site.  Investigative  work is ongoing to determine  whether there are other
parties  that sent  hazardous  substances  to the Shpack  site but that have not
received  notice  letters nor been named as PRPs to date.  No  allocation  as to
percentages of responsibility for any of the PRPs has been assigned or accepted;
proposed  allocations are expected to be determined during the second quarter of
2007 (although that could be extended),  at which point H&H could still withdraw
from the group.  The PRP group submitted its good faith offer to the EPA in late


                                       13


October 2006. It is not anticipated that the EPA will accept or reject the PRP's
offer  until some time in 2007.  If  accepted,  it is not  anticipated  that PRP
remedial  activities at the site will begin before 2008.  The  remediation  of a
significant amount of the contamination at the site is the responsibility of the
U.S.  Army  Corps of  Engineers.  That  portion of the work has begun but is not
expected to be completed  before 2008, at which time the remaining  work will be
more clearly defined. The Company has recorded a reserve of $1.5 million in 2006
in connection with this matter.

      As discussed above, H&H has existing and contingent  liabilities  relating
to environmental matters,  including capital expenditures,  costs of remediation
and potential  fines and penalties  relating to possible  violations of national
and state  environmental  laws. H&H has substantial  remediation  expenses on an
ongoing basis,  although such costs are continually  being readjusted based upon
the  emergence of new  techniques  and  alternative  methods.  In addition,  the
Company has insurance  coverage  available for several of these  matters.  Based
upon   information   currently   available,   including   H&H's  prior   capital
expenditures, anticipated capital expenditures, and information available to H&H
on pending judicial and administrative proceedings,  the Company does not expect
its environmental compliance costs, including the incurrence of additional fines
and  penalties,  if any,  relating to the operation of its  facilities to have a
material  adverse  effect on the  financial  position,  but there can be no such
assurances. Such costs could be material to H&H's results of operations and cash
flows. We anticipate that H&H will pay such amounts out of its working  capital,
although there is no assurance that H&H will have  sufficient  funds to pay such
amounts. In the event that H&H is unable to fund these liabilities, claims could
be made  against WHX for  payment of such  liabilities.  As further  information
comes  into  the  Company's  possession,  it  will  continue  to  reassess  such
evaluations.

OTHER LITIGATION

      H&H or its  subsidiaries  are a defendant in numerous  cases  pending in a
variety of jurisdictions relating to welding emissions.  Generally,  the factual
underpinning of the plaintiffs'  claims is that the use of welding  products for
their ordinary and intended  purposes in the welding process causes emissions of
fumes  that  contain  manganese,  which is toxic to the  human  central  nervous
system.  The  plaintiffs  assert that they were  over-exposed  to welding  fumes
emitted  by  welding  products  manufactured  and  supplied  by  H&H  and  other
co-defendants.  H&H denies  liability and is defending these actions.  It is not
possible  to  reasonably  estimate  H&H's  exposure  or  share,  if any,  of the
liability at this time.

      In addition to the  foregoing  cases,  there are a number of other product
liability,  exposure,  accident,  casualty and other  claims  against H&H or its
subsidiaries in connection  with a variety of products sold by its  subsidiaries
over  several  years,  as well as  litigation  related  to  employment  matters,
contract matters,  sales and purchase transactions and general liability claims,
many of which arise in the ordinary  course of  business.  It is not possible to
reasonably  estimate H&H's  exposure or share,  if any, of the liability at this
time.

      There is insurance coverage available for many of these actions, which are
being litigated in a variety of jurisdictions. To date, H&H has not incurred and
does not believe it will incur any  significant  liability with respect to these
claims, which it contests vigorously in most cases. However, it is possible that
the  ultimate  resolution  of such  litigation  and claims could have a material
adverse effect on quarterly or annual results of operations,  financial position
and cash flows when they are resolved in future periods.

2004.  The number of shares of common stock issued and  outstanding  as of March
31, 2005 was  5,485,856.  There were  approximately  10,923 holders of record of
common stock as of March 31, 2005.  WHX's shares were  delisted  from trading on
the New York Stock  Exchange,  effective  at the opening of business on March 7,
2005 as a result of WHX's  Chapter 11  bankruptcy  filing.  Thereafter,  the old
common stock was quoted on the over the counter  "Pink  Sheets" under the symbol
WHXCQ.PK until WHX's old common stock was cancelled on July 29, 2005. There were
no purchases of common stock made by WHX in 2006, 2005 and 2004.

      WHX emerged from  bankruptcy on July 29, 2005. The new common stock trades
on the over the counter "Pink Sheets" under the symbol WXCP.PK.  As of March 26,
2007,  there were 10,000,498  shares of new common stock issued and outstanding.
There were  approximately  46 holders of record for new common stock as of March
26, 2007.

      The  historical  prices of the old common stock are not  indicative of the

      WHX presently has no plans or  intentions to pay  dividends.  Prior to the
Effective Date, pursuant to the terms of the then-existing 10 1/2% Senior Notes,
WHX was prohibited from paying  dividends on its common stock or preferred stock
until after October 1, 2002, at the earliest,  and thereafter  only in the event
that it satisfied certain conditions,  which were not satisfied. WHX was further
prohibited  from paying  dividends  on its common  stock during such time as the
full  cumulative  dividends on the preferred  stock had not been paid,  and they
were not.

      As part of the  Plan of  Reorganization,  on July  29,  2005  all of WHX's
outstanding  securities,  including  WHX's  pre-bankruptcy  filing common stock,
Series A preferred stock, Series B preferred stock and 10 1/2% Senior Notes were
cancelled and annulled.  In full and complete  satisfaction  of all such claims,
holders  of WHX's 10 1/2%  Senior  Notes  received  9,200,000  shares of the new
common stock representing their pro rata share of the reorganized company. These
shares  represent  92% of the  equity in the  reorganized  company.  In full and
complete  satisfaction of all such interests,  preferred  stockholders  received
approximately 800,000 shares of the new common stock representing their pro rata
share of the reorganized  company and 752,688  warrants to purchase common stock
of the  reorganized  company,  exercisable  at $11.20  per  share  and  expiring
February 28,  2008.  The common stock  received by the  preferred  stockholders,
collectively,  represents  8% of the  equity  in the  reorganized  company.  The
warrants issued to the preferred stockholders, collectively, represent the right
to purchase an  additional  7% of the equity of the  reorganized  company  after
giving  effect to the  exercise of the  warrants.  Holders of WHX's common stock
received no distributions under the Plan.

NOTES TO FIVE-YEAR SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

(a)  Years  2002-2004  have  been  revised  to  present  the  Wire  Group  as  a
discontinued operation.

(b) As of  December  31,  2004 and 2005,  due to default  on  certain  financial
covenants in its various loan  agreements,  the Company  classified  much of its
debt as short-term due to the lenders' ability to demand immediate  payment.  As
of December  31, 2006,  such debt has been  classified  as  long-term  since the
Company is no longer in default on the debt,  and its maturity  date is June 30,
2008.

c) The  changes  to debt and  equity  between  December  31,  2004 and 2005 were
affected by the  Company's  bankruptcy.  The  following  is a summary of certain
material features of the Bankruptcy Confirmation Order. On the Effective Date:

            o     All  of  WHX's   outstanding   securities,   including   WHX's
                  pre-bankruptcy  filing common stock, Series A preferred stock,
                  Series B  preferred  stock  and 10 1/2%  Senior  Notes  with a
                  principal  balance of $92.8 million were deemed  cancelled and
                  annulled without further act or action.

            o     In full and complete satisfaction of all such claims,  holders
                  of WHX's 10 1/2% Senior  Notes  received  9,200,000  shares of
                  common  stock   representing   their  prorated  share  of  the
                  reorganized company.  These shares represent 92% of the equity
                  in the reorganized company.

            o     In full  and  complete  satisfaction  of all  such  interests,
                  Series A preferred  stockholders  received  366,322  shares of
                  common  stock   representing   their  prorated  share  of  the
                  reorganized  company and 344,658  warrants to purchase  common
                  stock of the  reorganized  company,  exercisable at $11.20 per
                  share and expiring on February 28, 2008.

            o     In full  and  complete  satisfaction  of all  such  interests,
                  Series B preferred  stockholders  received  433,678  shares of
                  common  stock   representing   their  prorated  share  of  the
                  reorganized  company and 408,030  warrants to purchase  common
                  stock of the  reorganized  company,  exercisable at $11.20 per
                  share and expiring on February 28, 2008.

            o     Holders of WHX's  pre-bankruptcy  filing common stock received
                  no distribution under the Plan.


                                       16


(d) Gain (loss) on  discontinued  operations  relates to the operating  results,
termination benefits charges, and gains of the Company's wire and cable business
(and in 2002,  also  includes the Unimast  subsidiary).  On June 30,  2004,  the
Company  evaluated  the  current  operating  plans and  current  and  forecasted
operating results of H&H's wire and cable business. In accordance with Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 144,  "Accounting  for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 144), the Company determined that there
were indicators of impairment based on continued operating losses, deteriorating
margins,  and rising raw  material  costs,  and an estimate of future cash flows
indicated that cash flows would be insufficient to support the carrying value of
the  long-term  assets of the business.  Accordingly,  these assets were written
down to their  estimated  fair value by  recording a non-cash  asset  impairment
charge of $8.2 million in 2004. In the fourth quarter of 2004, H&H  communicated
to its 146 union  employees  its plan to either sell or close the wire and cable
business and  recorded a  restructuring  charge of $1.2 million for  termination
benefits and related  costs,  as well as $0.4 million for clean up costs related
to the Cockeysville, Maryland facility. 2005 results include a $0.7 million gain
on the sale of certain  fixed  assets of the wire and cable  business and a $0.9
million  charge  for  additional  termination  benefits.  The sale of the  land,
buildings,  and  remaining  machinery & equipment  relating to these  businesses
occurred  in 2006  and  resulted  in a  pretax  gain on sale of  assets  of $4.5
million.

(e) In accordance  with SFAS No. 144, due to continuing  operating  losses,  the
Company  evaluated fixed assets  associated with its HHEM facility in 2004. This
evaluation resulted in the recording of accelerated depreciation of $0.2 million
in 2004,  $0.8 million in 2005,  and $0.6 million in 2006.  Further,  in October
2006, the Company recorded an asset  impairment  charge of $3.4 million relating
to the long-lived assets then offered for sale, also in accordance with SFAS No.
144. The amount of the  impairment  loss was based upon the actual selling price
of the long-lived assets in March 2007.

(f) On May 9, 2006, the Company announced the closing of the Handy & Harman Tube
Co.  ("HHT")  Norristown,  Pennsylvania  facility.  The  decision  to close  the
Norristown  facility was  principally  based on the economics of operating HHT's
business at the  facility.  HHT  manufactured  stainless  steel  tubing that was
supplied in various lengths and forms in both coil and straight  lengths.  HHT's
coil  business  was  relocated  to H&H's Camdel  Metals  Corporation  ("Camdel")
facility located in Camden,  Delaware. In conjunction with the decision to close
the  Norristown  facility,  the  Company  reviewed  the  recoverability  of  the
Norristown long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144. A review of future
cash flows, based on the expected closing date,  indicated that cash flows would
be insufficient to support the carrying value of certain machinery and equipment
at Norristown.  As a result,  the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of
$1.8 million in 2006.

(g)  Restructuring  charges  related to the closing of the  Norristown  facility
totaling  $2.4 million in 2006 were  recorded in the  statement  of  operations.
These  charges  included  termination  benefits of $2.0  million,  $0.1  million
resulting from a pension curtailment, and $0.3 million of other charges.

(h) For  purposes  of  calculating  the 2005  Earnings  Per Share,  the  Company
included the gain on the extinguishment of the preferred stock of $257.8 million
(representing  the  difference  between  the fair value of the common  stock and
warrants  issued upon emergence to the preferred  stockholders  and the carrying
value of the preferred  stock) as an increase in net income  available to common
shareholders  in accordance with EITF Topic D-42, "The Effect on the Calculation
of Earnings  per Share for the  Redemption  or Induced  Conversion  of Preferred
Stock".  See Note 13 to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  discussion on
earnings per share.

i)  Environmental  remediation  expense of $2.9  million in 2006  includes  $1.5
million related  principally to the Company's  estimated  exposure at the Shpack
landfill  site,  and $0.8 million in connection  with the  Company's  Norristown
Pennsylvania  facility.  H&H  received a notice  letter  from the  Environmental
Protection  Agency  ("EPA") in August 2006 formally  naming H&H as a potentially
responsible  party  ("PRP")  at the  Shpack  landfill  superfund  site in  North
Attleboro,  Massachusetts.  Please  see "Item 7 -  Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis  of  Financial   Condition  and  Results  of  Operations"  for  further
discussion. At the Company's Norristown facility, the Company recently completed
a study  which  indicated  that  environmental  remediation  activities  with an
estimated cost of $0.8 million are required, which the Company accrued as of the
first quarter of 2006. Environmental  remediation expenses of $29.0 million were
recorded in 2004.  Included in this amount is $26.3 million related to Fairfield
East and $1.1  million for a location  in North  Attleboro,  Massachusetts.  The
balance of the expense relates to several other  locations.  In 2003, H&H sold a
portion  of its  former  Fairfield,  CT  facility  ("Fairfield  East")  for $8.0
million.  In connection  with this sale, H&H was  responsible for demolition and
environmental  remediation of the site, the estimated cost of which was included
in the loss on sale recorded in 2003.  As of December 31, 2004,  H&H recorded an
increase in the reserve for environmental  remediation for Fairfield East in the
amount of $28.3 million ($26.3 million net of $2.0 million of related  insurance
proceeds.).  This  increase  in the  reserve  was  caused  by the  discovery  of
underground  debris  and soil  contaminants  that had not been  anticipated.  An
additional  $3.8  million was  recorded in selling,  general and  administrative
expenses as a penalty related to Fairfield East in 2004.

j) The Company  conducted the required  annual  goodwill  impairment  review for
2004, and computed  updated  valuations for each reporting unit as determined by
estimated cash flow projections and market comparables.  Based on the results of
this review the Company  recorded a $79.8 million non-cash  goodwill  impairment
charge relating to the following businesses: $34.2 million for specialty tubing,
$19.0 million for precious metal  plating,  and $26.6 million for precious metal
fabrication.  The Company  recorded  these charges  because the implied value of


                                       17


goodwill,  as determined by estimated cash flow  projections  and data on market
comparables,  was less than the reporting units' carrying value. The decrease in
value was  related to a reduction  in the  projection  of future  profitability,
increased working capital requirements, an increase in the discount rate, and an
increase  in  the  value  of  unrecognized  intangibles.   The  precious  metals
fabrication reporting unit experienced a substantial increase in working capital
requirements  as a  result  of the  unanticipated  loss of the  precious  metals
consignment  facility.  Consequently,  the overall  value of this  business  was
diminished  and the goodwill  attributable  to the precious  metals  fabrication
reporting  unit was  impaired  in  2004.  Within  the  precious  metals  plating
reporting unit, one of the business components started experiencing  significant
operational  issues in 2003.  In addition,  this  business  component  failed to
achieve forecasted  profitability from new programs.  Another business component
continued to struggle  beyond  expectations  in its efforts to  reestablish  its
customer  base and  historical  profitability.  The Tubing  business also had an
unexpected  and  significant  decline in the gross profit of one of its business
components  in 2004 as a  result  of the  loss of a  significant  customer  to a
competitor  and delays in  launching  certain  new  products.  As a result,  the
forecast for this reporting unit declined, and goodwill was impaired.

(k) In 2003, the Company recorded a $67.3 million non-cash  goodwill  impairment
charge relating to the following businesses: $29.0 million for specialty tubing,
and $38.3 million for precious metal plating. The Company recorded these charges
because the implied  value of goodwill,  as  determined  by estimated  cash flow
projections, was less than the reporting units' carrying value. For the precious
metals plating business, the primary reason for the impairment charge related to
a facility  that had  experienced  a fire in 2002 and was not  expected to fully
recover for several years. As a result of unanticipated  competitor  discounting
and ongoing competitive pressures in the U.S. automotive industry,  the dynamics
of this business  changed,  resulting in a further  reduction in forecasted cash
flows for the future,  at the end of 2003. With respect to the tubing  reporting
unit, there was a general decline in business,  led by the semiconductor market,
combined with operational issues related to new processes.

(l) A pre-tax,  non-cash charge for the cost of early  retirement  incentives of
$11.5 million was recognized in 2003 as a termination benefit in accordance with
SFAS No. 88,  "Employers'  Accounting for Settlement and Curtailments of Defined
Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits".  In addition, a curtailment
occurred  as a result  of the break in  service  for WPC  Group  employees  that
resulted in a pre-tax,  non-cash charge of $36.6 million in the third quarter of
2003, pursuant to SFAS No. 88.

(m) In 2002, the Company recorded an $18.7 million non-cash goodwill  impairment
charge  relating to the precious metal plating  business.  The Company  recorded
this charge because the fair value of goodwill,  as determined by estimated cash
flow  projections,  was less than the reporting units' carrying value.  This was
principally attributed to a fire at one of its facilities, which resulted in the
loss of business and profitability.

(n) During 2002,  the Company  recorded  restructuring  charges of $20.0 million
relating to the closure of certain Handy & Harman operations.

(o) As part of WPC's bankruptcy reorganization, WHX agreed to provide additional
funds to the WPC Group  amounting  to $20.0  million.  As a result,  the Company
recorded an equity loss in WPC for the year ended  December 31, 2002.  On August
1, 2003,  WHX  contributed  $20.0  million  in cash to WPC and  received a $10.0
million  subordinated  note from WPSC.  This note was fully reserved in 2003. In
July 2004,  WHX realized $5.6 million upon the sale of the note to a third party
and,  accordingly,  the reserve was  reversed  and $5.6  million was recorded in
other income in 2004.

2006 COMPARED TO 2005

      Net  sales  for 2006  increased  by $57.1  million,  or  14.2%,  to $461.0
million, as compared to $403.8 million in 2005. Sales increased by $29.0 million
at the Precious  Metal  Segment,  $6.5  million at the Tubing  Segment and $21.6


                                       19


million at the Engineered  Materials  Segment.  Approximately  half of the sales
increase  occurred  because  of an  increase  in  volume,  in all our  segments,
although a significant portion of the volume increase occurred in the Engineered
Materials  segment.  The  remainder  of the  increase  in sales was due to price
increases,  which occurred principally in the Precious Metals segment because of
the increase in the market prices of precious metals.

      Gross profit percentage increased to 18.3% in 2006 from 18.0% in 2005. The
major positive factor  impacting 2006 gross profit was a $5.2 million  favorable
effect from the reduction in quantities of precious metal inventories  valued at
LIFO cost. which increased gross profit  percentage by 1.1%. In addition,  there
was a shift in sales mix whereby  sales in segments  with  higher  gross  profit
percentages  accounted for more of total sales in 2006 than in 2005.  Offsetting
these factors, gross profit was negatively impacted in 2006 by inefficiencies at
the  Company's  start-up  Mexican  tubing  facility,  and  raw  materials  price
increases.

      Selling,  general and  administrative  ("SG&A")  expenses declined by $6.3
million  to $63.5  million in 2006 from $69.8  million  in 2005.  A  significant
reason for the  decrease  in SG&A  expenses in 2006 was  because  2005  included
expenses of $4.1 million  related to change in control and  termination of three
WHX executives, as well as high insurance costs related to the change in control
of the Company.  In addition,  the Company's cost of its qualified  pension plan
was $3.2 million  lower in 2006  compared to 2005  principally  because  pension
benefits were frozen for  substantially  all  non-union  employees at the end of
2005.  These lower costs were  partially  offset by  additional  sales staff and
higher   commissions  (in  line  with  sales  increases)  at  certain  of  H&H's
subsidiaries.

      Asset  impairment  charges in 2006  totaling  $5.2  million  include  $1.8
million  relating  to the  assets of Handy & Harman  Tube Co.  ("HHT")  and $3.4
million  relating  to  the  assets  of  Handy  &  Harman  Electronic   Materials
Corporation  ("HHEM").  On May 9, 2006, the Company announced the closing of the
Handy & Harman Tube Co. Norristown, Pennsylvania facility. The decision to close
the  Norristown  facility was  principally  based on the  economics of operating
HHT's business at the facility.  HHT manufactured stainless steel tubing that is
supplied in various lengths and forms in both coil and straight  lengths.  HHT's
coil  business  was  relocated  to H&H's Camdel  Metals  Corporation  ("Camdel")
facility located in Camden,  Delaware. In conjunction with the decision to close
the  Norristown  facility,  the  Company  reviewed  the  recoverability  of  the
Norristown  long-lived  assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144,  "Accounting for
Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets".  A review of future cash flows,
based  on the  expected  closing  date,  indicated  that  cash  flows  would  be
insufficient to support the carrying value of certain machinery and equipment at
Norristown. As a result, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $1.8
million  in its  statement  of  operations  for the second  quarter of 2006.  No
impairment  loss was incurred on the real estate  assets based on the  Company's
analysis.

      In  accordance  with SFAS No. 144, in 2004,  the Company  evaluated  fixed
assets associated with its HHEM facilities in light of ongoing operating losses.
This  evaluation  resulted in the recording of accelerated  depreciation of $0.2
million in 2004,  $0.8 million in 2005 and $0.6 million  through  September  30,
2006.  This  accelerated  depreciation  is a charge to cost of goods sold in the
applicable period. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company again measured the
recoverability of the long-lived assets of the HHEM business for impairment when
it was  determined  that the  assets  should be  classified  as held for sale in
accordance  with SFAS No.144.  In October  2006,  the Company  recorded an asset
impairment charge of $3.4 million relating to the long-lived assets of HHEM. The
amount of the  impairment  loss was based upon the actual  selling  price of the
long-lived assets in March 2007.

      Environmental  remediation  expense of $2.9 million in 2006  includes $1.5
million related to the Company's estimated exposure at the Shpack landfill site,
and $0.8  million  in  connection  with the  Company's  Norristown  Pennsylvania
facility. H&H received a notice letter from the Environmental  Protection Agency
("EPA") in August 2006 formally  naming H&H as a potentially  responsible  party
("PRP") at the Shpack landfill superfund site in North Attleboro, Massachusetts.
H&H then  voluntarily  joined a group of ten (10)  other PRPs  (which  group has
since increased to thirteen (13)) to work cooperatively regarding remediation of
this site.  Investigative  work is ongoing to determine  whether there are other
parties  that sent  hazardous  substances  to the Shpack  site but that have not
received  notice  letters nor been named as PRPs to date.  No  allocation  as to
percentages of responsibility for any of the PRPs has been assigned or accepted;
proposed  allocations are expected to be determined during the second quarter of
2007 (although that could be extended),  at which point H&H could still withdraw
from the group.  The PRP group submitted its good faith offer to the EPA in late
October 2006. It is not anticipated that the EPA will accept or reject the PRPs'
offer  until some time in 2007.  If  accepted,  it is not  anticipated  that PRP
remedial  activities at the site will begin before 2008.  The  remediation  of a
significant amount of the contamination at the site is the responsibility of the
U.S.  Army  Corps of  Engineers.  That  portion of the work has begun but is not
expected to be completed  before 2008, at which time the remaining  work will be
more clearly defined. At the Company's Norristown facility, the Company recently
completed a study which indicates that environmental remediation activities with
an estimated cost of $0.8 million are required,  which the Company accrued as of
the first  quarter of 2006.  There were no  environmental  remediation  expenses
charged in 2005.

      Restructuring  charges relate to the closing of the Norristown facility of
$2.4 million were recorded in the 2006  statement of  operations.  These charges
included  termination  benefits of $2.0 million,  $0.1 million  resulting from a
pension curtailment, and $0.3 million of other charges.


                                       20


      Operating income for 2006 was $10.5 million, which was $7.8 million higher
than 2005. At the segment level,  operating income was $12.1 million,  which was
$0.7 million higher than the operating  income of $11.4 million in 2005. At both
the consolidated and segment levels, the sales improvement  generated additional
gross  margin  dollars,  and there was  additional  improvement  from lower SG&A
expenses.  However,  significant charges for asset impairments and restructuring
costs offset much of these improvements. The improvement in operating income was
lower at the  segment  level  than at the  consolidated  level  in 2006  because
neither  the reduced  cost of the  pension  plan in 2006 nor the charges for the
termination  and change of control of WHX executives in 2005 is allocated to the
segments, but is included in "unallocated corporate expenses".

      Interest  expense for 2006 rose $5.3  million to $22.5  million from $17.2
million in 2005.  There was an increase  of  approximately  $2.8  million due to
additional  debt that the Company  entered into during 2006.  See  discussion of
cash flows from Financing  Activities  that follows  regarding the Company's new
borrowings.  In addition,  interest  rates were higher in 2006 compared to 2005,
which increased interest expense by approximately $2.9 million.  These increases
were partially offset because the Company's 10 1/2% Senior Notes,  which accrued
interest  of  approximately  $1.8  million in the first  quarter  of 2005,  were
cancelled   and  annulled  as  part  of  the   Company's   Chapter  11  Plan  of
Reorganization in July 2005, and hence, there was no such interest in 2006.

      In 2005, the Company  recorded $9.5 million of costs related to Chapter 11
filing and  reorganization  expenses,  which represent  expenses incurred by WHX
because of its reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Such
expenses  principally  consisted of professional  fees for services  provided by
debtor and  creditor  professionals  directly  related  to WHX's  reorganization
proceedings.

      Realized  and  unrealized  losses on  derivatives  totaled $8.0 million in
2006, compared to $4.3 million in 2005. The derivative  instruments  utilized by
the Company are  precious  metal  forward  contracts.  The  increase in the loss
resulted  principally  from a greater  increase in precious  metal prices during
2006 compared to 2005.

      In 2006 and  2005,  tax  provisions  of $31  thousand  and  $2.3  million,
respectively,  were recorded.  The 2006 tax provision from continuing operations
of $31 thousand  includes a tax benefit of $1.6 million  related to discontinued
operations.   The  Company's  total  tax  provision  from  both  continuing  and
discontinued  operations  of $1.6  million  in 2006 and $2.3  million in 2005 is
principally  for state and foreign  taxes.  The Company has recorded a valuation
allowance  related to the tax benefits  associated with its operating  losses in
each year due to the uncertainty of realizing these benefits in the future.

      The net income (loss) from discontinued operations in 2006, 2005, and 2004
relates to the  Company's  wire and cable  business,  which had been part of the
former  Wire and Tubing  segment.  In 2004 the  Company  evaluated  the  current
operating  plans and current and  forecasted  operating  results of its wire and
cable  business.  In accordance  with SFAS No. 144, the Company  determined that
there were  indicators  of impairment  based upon  continued  operating  losses,
deteriorating margins, and rising raw material costs. An estimate of future cash
flows  indicated that cash flows would be  insufficient  to support the carrying
value of the long-term  assets of the business.  Accordingly,  these assets were
written  down  to  their  estimated  fair  value  by  recording  non-cash  asset
impairment  charges  totaling $8.2 million in 2004.  The decision to close these
operations   resulted  in  2004  restructuring   charges  of  $1.2  million  for
termination  benefits  and related  costs,  and $0.4  million for clean up costs
related to one of its  facilities.  On January 13, 2005, the Company  decided to
permanently  close  the wire & cable  businesses.  The  Company  operated  these
facilities  on a limited  basis in the first quarter of 2005 in order to fulfill
customer commitments.  In the second quarter of 2005, all operations of the wire
& cable business were concluded.  Accordingly,  these businesses are reported as
discontinued operations. Net income of $2.7 million in 2006 principally reflects
an after-tax gain of $2.9 million on the sale of the land and building  formerly
used in the wire and cable business  offset by a operating loss of $0.2 million.
This compares to a net loss of $4.2 million in 2005, which reflects an operating
loss of $4.7  million  offset  by a gain on the  sale of  fixed  assets  of $0.7
million.

      Net loss applicable to common stock for 2006 was $18.2 million, or ($1.82)
per share.  Net income  applicable  to common stock for 2005  amounted to $219.6
million or $30.36 per share of common stock after  adjusting for preferred stock
dividends and the extinguishment of preferred stock as of July 29, 2005.

      The comments that follow compare  revenues and operating income by segment
for 2006 and 2005:

PRECIOUS METAL

      Sales for the Precious Metal segment  increased  $29.0 million,  or 24.8%,
from $117.0  million in 2005 to $146.0  million in 2006,  driven  principally by
precious metal price  increases.  In addition,  higher volume also occurred with
increased  sales to existing  customers as well as to new  customers  due to new
distribution and sales force  initiatives.  This was partially offset by reduced
sales at the HHEM  facility  which the  Company  offered  for sale in the fourth
quarter of 2006 and sold in March 2007.


                                       21


      Operating income for the Precious Metal segment  increased $6.7 million to
$5.1 million in 2006 from an operating  loss of $1.6 million in 2005.  The major
positive factor impacting 2006 gross profit was a $5.2 million  favorable effect
from the reduction in quantities of precious  metal  inventories  valued at LIFO
cost and from increased  sales and a more  favorable mix of fabricated  products
(higher  margin) versus plated products (lower margin) in 2006 compared to 2005.
Partially  offsetting these favorable  factors were asset impairment  charges of
$3.4 million associated with the HHEM assets that were offered for sale in 2006.

TUBING

      In 2006,  overall sales for the Tubing Segment increased $6.5 million,  or
5.7%, from $114.4 million in 2005 to $120.9 million in 2006,  principally due to
market share and volume  increase.  On May 9, 2006,  the Company  announced  the
closure of the H&H Tube Co. Norristown,  Pennsylvania  facility.  The Norristown
facility   continued  to  operate  through  the  third  quarter,   during  which
Norristown's  small coil business was transferred to the Company's Camdel Metals
facility.

      Operating loss grew in 2006 by $8.5 million despite the sales increase, to
a loss of $8.9 million in 2006 from an  operating  loss of $0.5 million in 2005.
The 2006 loss  included  $2.4  million of  restructuring  costs  relating to the
shutdown  of  the  Norristown  facility.   The  restructuring  charges  included
termination  benefits of $2.0  million,  $0.1 million  resulting  from a pension
curtailment,  and $0.3 million of other charges. In addition, the 2006 operating
loss includes a $1.8 million asset  impairment  charge.  In conjunction with the
decision  to  close  the   Norristown   facility,   the  Company   reviewed  the
recoverability  of the Norristown  long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No.
144.  A  review  of  future  cash  flows  indicated  that  cash  flows  would be
insufficient to support the carrying value of certain machinery and equipment at
Norristown. As a result, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $1.8
million in 2006. In addition,  significant cost  inefficiencies at the Company's
start-up tubing facility in Coahuila,  Mexico also  contributed to the operating
loss in 2006.

ENGINEERED MATERIALS

      Sales for the Engineered  Materials  Segment  increased $21.6 million,  or
12.5%,  from  $172.5  million  in 2005 to $194.1  million  in 2006.  This  sales
increase was  primarily  driven by market share gains in the roofing  sector and
new  product  sales in the lumber yard and home  center  markets.  Additionally,
sales  in  the  electrical   contracting,   plumbing  and  distribution  markets
experienced strong gains.

      Operating  income  increased in 2006 by $2.4 million from $13.5 million in
2005 to $15.8 million in 2006  primarily  because of the higher sales volume and
improved operational efficiencies resulting from the major capital investment in
the company's fastener division completed in late 2005.  However, an increase in
selling expenses and marketing personnel offset part of this increase.

UNALLOCATED CORPORATE EXPENSES

      Unallocated corporate expenses declined from $10.2 million in 2005 to $4.1
million  in  2006.  One  significant  reason  for the  decrease  in  unallocated
corporate expenses in 2006 was because the 2005 period included expenses of $4.1
million related to change in control and termination of three WHX executives, as
well as higher  insurance costs related to the change of control of the Company.
Also, the Company's pension credit rose by $3.2 million in 2006 compared to 2005
principally because pension benefits were frozen for substantially all non-union
employees at the end of 2005.

2005 COMPARED TO 2004

      Sales in 2005 were $403.8  million  compared with $372.0  million in 2004.
Sales increased by $11.7 million at the Precious Metal Segment, $10.3 million at
the Tubing  Segment and by $9.8  million at the  Engineered  Materials  Segment.
Gross  profit  percentage  decreased  in the 2005  period to 18.0% from 19.6% in
2004.  Gross profit  percentage  in 2005 was  negatively  impacted by higher raw
material costs.

      SG&A expenses  increased  $5.4 million from $64.4 million in 2004 to $69.8
million in 2005. The 2005 period includes $4.1 million in unallocated  corporate
expenses  related to change in control and  termination  payments  for three WHX
executives,  and  $2.4  million  related  to the  acquisition  of the  Protechno
division in the fourth  quarter of 2004.  The 2004 period  includes $3.8 million
recorded  in SG&A  expenses  for an  arbitration  award  against the Company for
failure to  remediate in a timely  manner the  environmental  conditions  at the
Fairfield  East location.  The 2004 period also includes a $1.2 million  reserve
for a receivable  from HHRG, the reversal of a $1.3 million  reserve for a legal
proceeding  that was settled in the Company's favor and $1.8 million of expenses
incurred in connection with the pursuit of various recapitalization options. The
balance of the  increase of $4.4  million is due to  increased  sales levels and
increased legal and medical costs.


                                       22


      There  were  no  material   environmental  expenses  recognized  in  2005.
Environmental  remediation  expenses  of $29.0  million  were  recorded in 2004.
Included in this amount is $26.3 million  related to a facility in Fairfield CT.
In 2003,  the  Company  sold a portion  of its  former  Fairfield,  CT  facility
("Fairfield  East") for $8.0 million.  In connection  with this sale the Company
was  responsible for demolition and  environmental  remediation of the site, the
estimated  cost of which was included in the loss on sale recorded in 2003.  H&H
determined  that an increase in the reserve for  environmental  remediation  was
needed for Fairfield East in the amount of $28.3 million,  which was recorded in
the fourth  quarter of 2004.  This  increase  in the  reserve  was caused by the
discovery  of  underground  debris  and  soil  contaminants  that  had not  been
anticipated.  The Company has recovered  insurance in the amount of $2.0 million
in 2006  related to this site;  therefore  the net expense  included in the 2004
financial  statements is $26.3 million. An insurance  receivable of $2.0 million
is included on the  consolidated  balance sheet.  An additional $3.8 million was
recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses as a penalty related to
Fairfield East. Additionally $1.1 million in environmental  remediation expenses
were  recorded in 2004 for a location  in North  Attleboro,  Massachusetts.  The
balance of the expense relates to several other locations.

      Loss on  disposal  of assets  amounted  to $0.1  million in 2005.  Gain on
disposal of assets amounted to $0.6 million in 2004. Included is the gain on the
sale of an aircraft of $1.7  million  offset by the write off of the balance due
related to the sale of a property in the amount of $1.0 million.

      The Company  conducted the required annual goodwill  impairment review for
2004,  and with the  assistance  of a third party  specialist  computed  updated
valuations  for each  reporting  unit using a discounted  cash flow and a market
approach.  Based on the  results  of this  review the  Company  recorded a $79.8
million  non-cash   goodwill   impairment   charge  relating  to  the  following
businesses: $34.2 million for specialty tubing, $19.0 million for precious metal
plating, and $26.6 million for precious metal fabrication.  The Company recorded
these  charges  because the fair value of goodwill,  as  determined by estimated
cash  flow  projections  and  data on  market  comparables,  was  less  than the
reporting  units'  carrying  value.  The  decrease  in value  and the  resulting
impairment  charge  were  related to a  reduction  in the  projection  of future
profitability,  increased  working  capital  requirements,  an  increase  in the
discount  rate and an increase  in the value of  unrecognized  intangibles.  The
precious metals fabrication reporting unit experienced a substantial increase in
working  capital  requirements  as a  result  of the  unanticipated  loss of the
precious metals consignment  facility.  Consequently,  the overall value of this
business was diminished  and the goodwill  attributable  to the precious  metals
fabrication  reporting  unit was  impaired in 2004.  Within the  precious  metal
plating  reporting  unit, one of the business  components  started  experiencing
significant  operational  issues in 2003. In addition,  this business  component
failed to achieve forecasted  profitability from new programs.  Another business
component   continued  to  struggle  beyond   expectations  in  its  efforts  to
reestablish its customer base and historical profitability. As a result of these
additional unanticipated changes in this business, the forecast for the precious
metal plating  business was revised and the  remaining  goodwill was impaired at
the end of 2004.  The tubing  business  also had an unexpected  and  significant
decline  in the gross  profit  of one of its  business  components  in 2004 as a
result of the loss of a  significant  customer  to a  competitor  and  delays in
launching  certain new products.  As a result,  the forecast for this  reporting
unit declined, and additional goodwill was impaired.

      Operating  income from  continuing  operations  for 2005 was $2.7  million
compared to a $99.7 million operating loss for 2004.

      Interest  expense in 2005  decreased  $8.3 million,  to $17.2 million from
$25.5  million  in 2004.  As a result  of the  Bankruptcy  Filing,  WHX  stopped
accruing interest on its 10 1/2% Senior Notes as of March 7, 2005. This resulted
in a savings of approximately $8.0 million in the 12 month period ended December
31, 2005 compared to the comparable 2004 period. Included in interest expense in
2004 is a $1.8  million fee in  connection  with the  assignment  of an H&H term
loan. The  assignment  resulted in an annual  interest  savings of $2.8 million.
These decreases in interest expense were partially offset by increased  interest
rates on increased  borrowings  at H&H.  The  increased  borrowings  at H&H were
primarily  a result of $20.4  million  in  capital  expenditures  and  increased
working capital requirements.

      Realized and  unrealized  income/loss  on  derivatives  was a loss of $4.3
million in 2005 and income of $0.5 million in 2004. The higher loss was due to a
greater increase in precious metal prices in 2005 compared to 2004.

      Other income  (loss) in 2005 was income of $0.2 million,  and  principally
related  to $0.2 in equity  earnings  on a  subsidiary  accounted  for under the
equity method of accounting and $0.2 million in earnings on investments,  offset
by $0.6 million in foreign transaction  losses.  Other income (loss) in 2004 was
income of $6.0 million,  and consisted  principally  of a gain on sale of a note
from WPC.  As part of the Chapter 11 Plan of  Reorganization  for the WPC Group,
WHX had agreed to  provide  $20.0  million to WPSC,  a  subsidiary  of WPC,  and
recorded  a $20.0  million  charge as an equity  loss in WPC for the year  ended
December 31, 2002. On August 1, 2003, WHX  contributed  $20.0 million in cash to
WPC and  received a $10.0  million  subordinated  note from WPSC.  This note was
fully reserved in 2003. In July 2004, WHX realized $5.6 million upon the sale of
the note to a third party and,  accordingly,  the reserve was  reversed and $5.6
million was recorded in other income in 2004.  Also  included in other income in
2004 are $0.4 million of net investment earnings.


                                       23


      In  connection  with the  refinancing  of the H&H  Senior  Secured  Credit
Facility in March 2004,  the Company wrote off deferred  financing  fees of $1.2
million. This charge is classified as loss on early retirement of debt.

      Loss  from  discontinued  operations  was $4.2  million  in 2005 and $18.5
million in 2004. In 2004, the Company  evaluated the current operating plans and
current and forecasted  operating  results of H&H's wire and cable business.  In
accordance  with SFAS 144, the Company  determined that there were indicators of
impairment   as  of  June  30,  2004  based  on  continued   operating   losses,
deteriorating margins, and rising raw material costs. An estimate of future cash
flows  indicated that as of June 30, 2004,  cash flows would be  insufficient to
support the carrying value of the long-term assets of the business. Accordingly,
these  assets were  written  down to their  estimated  fair value by recording a
non-cash  asset  impairment  charge of $3.9  million in the second  quarter.  In
November 2004,  H&H announced that it had signed a non-binding  letter of intent
to sell its wire  business  and that it was  negotiating  the sale of its  steel
cable business.  The decision to sell was based on continued  operating  losses,
deteriorating  margins  and  rising  raw  material  costs  experienced  by these
businesses.  Based on the  proposed  terms of these  transactions,  the  Company
recorded an additional asset impairment charge of $4.3 million. At that time H&H
stated  that if it were unable to complete  these  sales it would  consider  the
closure of these operations.  On January 13, 2005, H&H determined that a sale of
these  operations  could  not  be  completed  on  terms   satisfactory  to  H&H.
Accordingly, H&H decided to permanently close the wire and cable businesses. The
affected  operations were located in  Cockeysville,  Maryland and Oriskany,  New
York.

      In the fourth quarter of 2004, H&H communicated to its 146 union employees
its plan to either  sell or close the wire and cable  business  and  recorded  a
restructuring charge of $1.2 million for termination benefits and related costs.
These  termination  benefits were paid in 2005.  Additionally,  $0.4 million was
recorded  as  a  restructuring   charge  for  clean  up  costs  related  to  the
Cockeysville,  Maryland  facility.  The Company  operated these  facilities on a
limited  basis  in the  first  quarter  of 2005 in  order  to  fulfill  customer
commitments.  Operating  losses and closure  costs  incurred in 2005 amounted to
$4.2 million  including  both a $0.7  million gain on the sale of certain  fixed
assets and $0.9  million  charge for  additional  termination  benefits.  In the
second  quarter of 2005,  H&H  concluded  all  operations  of the wire and cable
business. Accordingly, these businesses are reported as discontinued operations.
The sale of land,  buildings,  and certain  machinery and equipment  relating to
these businesses was not completed until 2006.

      The Company has recorded a valuation allowance relating to the Federal net
deferred tax assets since it is the opinion of management that it is more likely
than not that such tax benefits will not be realized in future periods.  In 2005
and 2004 a tax  provision  of $2.3 million and $2.2  million  respectively,  was
recorded for foreign and state taxes, as well as additional Federal deferred tax
liabilities relating to intangible assets with an indefinite life.

      Income  applicable to common stock for 2005 amounted to $219.6  million or
$30.36 per share of common stock after  adjusting for preferred  stock dividends
and the  extinguishment of preferred stock as of March 7, 2005, as compared to a
net loss applicable to common stock of $159.9 million, or $29.38 per basic share
of common stock after adjusting for preferred stock dividends.

      The  comments  that  follow  compare  revenues  and  operating  income  by
operating segment for the years ended 2005 and 2004:

PRECIOUS METALS

      Sales for the Precious Metals Segment  increased $11.7 million from $105.3
million in 2004 to $117.0 million in 2005. Of the $11.7 million  increase,  $8.4
million was due to gains in market share for both new and existing  customers in
the precious metal markets and $6.1 million accounted for the acquisition of the
Protechno  division in the fourth quarter of 2004.  Partially  offsetting  these
increases  were lower sales of $2.7 million at the precious  metal plating units
due to decreased volume to its automotive and electronics customers.

      Operating  loss for the Precious  Metals  segment was $1.6 million in 2005
compared to an operating loss of $44.8 million in 2004. The 2004 period includes
a $45.6 million  non-cash charge for goodwill  impairment.  The Company recorded
this charge because the fair value of goodwill in this segment, as determined by
estimated  cash  flow  projections  and  market  comparables,  was less than the
reporting units' carrying value. The goodwill  impairment  charge includes $26.6
million  related to the precious metal  fabrication  unit.  This charge resulted
from greater than projected uses of working  capital  related to higher precious
metal prices and the elimination of the precious metal consignment facility. The
remaining  $19.0  million  of the  goodwill  impairment  charge  related to this
segment's  precious  metal plating  unit.  The decrease in value of goodwill was
related  to a  reduction  in the  projection  of  future  profitability,  and an
increase in the discount  rate from 15.5% to 16.8%  representing  an increase in
the  perceived  risk  of  the  business.   The  decrease  in  estimated   future
profitability  was  primarily  related to a reduction in unit  pricing,  and the
failure  to  achieve  anticipated  manufacturing  efficiencies  along  with  the
inability to achieve forecasted  profitability from new programs.  Excluding the
non-cash charge for goodwill,  operating income  decreased  primarily due to the
lower sales of the precious metals plating units described above.


                                       24


TUBING

      Sales for the Tubing Segment  increased  $10.3 million from $104.0 million
in 2004 to $114.3 million in 2005. Of the $10.3 million  increase,  $6.6 million
was due to increased prices to offset the higher cost of steel, $2.6 million due
to  market  share  gains  at  the  refrigeration   units.   Stronger  demand  in
petrochemical,  military,  aircraft  markets  accounted  for $2.5 million of the
increase offset by reduced sales of $1.3 million to the medical industry.

      Operating loss for the Tubing segment was $0.4 million in 2005.  Operating
loss for 2004 was  $30.8  million.  The 2004  period  includes  a $34.2  million
non-cash  charge for  goodwill  impairment.  The  Company  recorded  this charge
because  the fair  value of  goodwill,  as  determined  by  estimated  cash flow
projections and market comparables,  was less than the reporting unit's carrying
value.  The  decrease in value was related to a reduction in the  projection  of
future  profitability,  an  increase  in the  discount  rate from 11.4% to 12.0%
representing an increase in the perceived risk of the business. The reduction in
future  profitability  was primarily related to several factors including higher
raw  material  costs  which  could not be  passed  along to  customers,  pricing
degradation in the appliance market, and the loss of a key customer. Included in
2005 are start up costs of  approximately  $1.7 million  associated with our new
refrigeration  tubing  unit  in  Mexico.  Our  other  refrigeration  units  were
negatively  impacted by the  reduced  volume  noted above and high steel  costs.
Partially offsetting these reductions in operating income is the stronger demand
in  petrochemical,  military,  aircraft  and  medical  markets as they relate to
certain of H&H's tubing businesses.

ENGINEERED MATERIALS

      Sales for the  Engineered  Materials  segment  increased $9.8 million from
$162.7  million in 2004 to $172.5 in 2005.  This increase in sales was primarily
due to stronger  commercial roofing and home center markets,  market share gains
accounted for $7.3 million,  while  increased sales prices for both new and core
products  accounted for $4.7  million.  These  increases  were offset by reduced
volume at H&H's electro-galvanizing facility.

      Operating  income  decreased by $2.9 million from $16.4 million in 2004 to
$13.5 million in 2005. This decrease in operating income is primarily due to the
decreased volume and increased steel costs at our electro-galvanizing  facility,
partially  offset  by  increased  operating  income  resulting  from  the  sales
increases mentioned above.

UNALLOCATED CORPORATE EXPENSES

      Unallocated  corporate  expenses  decreased  from $12.2 million in 2004 to
$10.2 million in 2005.  Significant items in each year were as follows: the 2005
period  included  $4.1  million  of expense  related  to change in  control  and
termination  payments for three WHX executives.  The 2004 period included a $1.2
million reserve for a receivable from HHRG, $1.8 million of expenses incurred in
connection  with the  pursuit  of  various  recapitalization  options,  and $0.4
million of  depreciation  expense  related to the aircraft owned and sold by the
Company in 2004,  partially offset by the reversal of a $1.3 million reserve for
a legal proceeding that was settled in the Company's favor. In addition to these
significant items, there were lower costs in 2005 for salaries,  legal expenses,
directors and  stockholders  expenses.  Pension credit was $2.3 million lower in
2005 than in 2004.

LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOW, AND COMMITMENTS

LIQUIDITY

      The Company incurred net operating losses of $18.2 million,  $34.7 million
and  $140.4  million  for the years  ended  December  31,  2006,  2005 and 2004,
respectively, and had negative cash flows from operations of $18.8 million, $5.0
million and $39.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004,
respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has an accumulated deficit of
$412.1  million.  Additionally,  the  Company  has not been in  compliance  with
certain  of its bank  covenants  and has been  required  to  obtain a number  of
waivers  from its  lenders  related to such  covenants.  For 2005 and 2004,  the
Company's financial statements  described a number of conditions  concerning the
Company's  liquidity  difficulties,  and  stated  that these  conditions  raised
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

      As of December 31, 2006, WHX and its unrestricted subsidiaries had cash of
approximately  $0.8  million  and  current  liabilities  of  approximately  $7.5
million,  including  $5.1 million of  mandatorily  redeemable  preferred  shares
payable to a related party.  WHX is a holding company and has as its sole source


                                       25


of cash flow distributions from its operating subsidiaries,  H&H and Bairnco, or
other  discrete  transactions.  H&H's  bank  credit  facilities  and  term  loan
effectively  do not permit it to transfer  any cash or other assets to WHX (with
the exception of unsecured  loans to be used to make required  contributions  to
the  pension  plan,  and for other uses of an  unsecured  loan in the  aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $3.5 million under certain  conditions),  and are
collateralized by substantially all of H&H's assets.  Bairnco's revolving credit
facility ("Bairnco Revolving Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank
of America") permits  distributions by Bairnco to WHX under certain  conditions,
as described  below.  WHX has no bank credit  facility of its own. WHX's ongoing
operating cash flow requirements  consist of funding the minimum requirements of
the WHX Pension Plan and paying other administrative costs.

      H&H's   availability   under  its  revolving  credit  facility  and  other
facilities as of December 31, 2006 was $19.1 million,  and as of March 31, 2007,
was  approximately  $15.5  million.  On March  29,  2007,  all such  facilities,
including the term loans,  were amended to (i) redefine  EBITDA,  (ii) reset the
levels  and  amend  certain  of  the  financial  covenants,   (iii)  extend  the
termination date of the credit  facilities from March 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008,
(iv)  permit  the  extension  by H&H to WHX of an  unsecured  loan for  required
payments to the  pension  plan,  under  certain  conditions,  and (v) permit the
extension  by H&H to WHX of an  unsecured  loan for other uses in the  aggregate
principal  amount not to exceed  $3.5  million  under  certain  conditions.  The
amendments also provided for waivers of certain events of default existing as of
March 29,  2007.  As of December  31,  2006,  such debt has been  classified  as
long-term  since  the  Company  is no  longer in  default  on the debt,  and the
maturity date of the debt is June 30, 2008.

      In  connection  with the  closing of the  Bairnco  Offer and the Merger on
April  24,  2007,  Bairnco  became a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of WHX.  Initial
financing  was  provided by Steel  through two  facilities,  in the  approximate
aggregate amount of $101.5 million.  In addition,  the Bairnco  Revolving Credit
Facility  was amended to permit the closing of the Merger and related  financing
transactions.  The availability  under the Bairnco  Revolving Credit Facility on
March 31, 2007 was  approximately  $12.0 million.  The Bairnco  Revolving Credit
Facility permits distributions by Bairnco to WHX under certain conditions.

      In addition to the obligations  under the current credit  facilities,  the
Company also has significant cash flow obligations, including without limitation
the amounts due for the WHX Pension  Plan (as amended by the IRS Waiver and PBGC
Settlement  Agreement entered into December 28, 2006). There can be no assurance
that the funds available from operations and under its credit facilities will be
sufficient to fund debt service costs, working capital demands and environmental
remediation  costs,  or that  the  Company  will be able to  obtain  replacement
financing at  commercially  reasonable  terms upon the expiration of the H&H and
Bairnco credit facilities in June 2008.

      As of December 31, 2006,  the  Company's  current  assets  totaled  $130.6
million and its current  liabilities  totaled $132.1 million;  a working capital
deficit of $1.6 million.  The Company's  working capital deficit at December 31,
2005 was $121.5 million  principally because all debt other than $4.9 million of
foreign debt was  classified as current due to  noncompliance  with certain debt
covenants as of December 31, 2005.

      On March 7, 2005, WHX (the parent  company) filed a voluntary  petition to
reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy Code. WHX continued
to   operate   its   business   and  own  and  manage   its   properties   as  a
debtor-in-possession  under the  jurisdiction  of the bankruptcy  court until it
emerged from  protection  under  Chapter 11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code on July 29,
2005.

      Since  emerging from  bankruptcy,  due to covenant  restrictions  in H&H's
credit  facilities,  there  have  been no  dividends  from H&H to WHX and  WHX's
sources of cash flow have consisted of:

      o     The issuance of $5.1 million in preferred  stock by a newly  created
            subsidiary (WHX CS Corp.) in October 2005, which was invested in the
            equity of a public company (Cosine Communications Inc.); and

      o     Partial payment of the H&H subordinated debt to WHX of $9.0 million,
            which  required the approval of the banks  participating  in the H&H
            bank facility. Subsequent to this transaction in 2006, the remaining
            intercompany  loan balance of the subordinated debt of $44.2 million
            was converted to equity.

      o     As permitted by the March 29, 2007  Amendment and Waiver to the Loan
            and Security  Agreements,  an  unsecured  loan from H&H for required
            payments to the  pension  plan,  and for other uses of an  unsecured
            loan in the  aggregate  principal  amount not to exceed $3.5 million
            under certain conditions.

      o     A  $15.0  million   subordinated  loan  from  Steel  pursuant  to  a
            Subordinated  Loan and Security  Agreement between WHX, as borrower,
            and Steel,  as lender.  WHX used the $15.0  million  proceeds of the
            subordinated loan as a capital contribution to acquire Bairnco.


                                       26


      In addition to  obtaining  the March 29, 2007  extension  of maturity  and
amendments to its financing agreements that are described above,  management has
the following strategies planned in order to enhance liquidity: 1) continuing to
implement and enhance systems and processes to increase  operating  efficiencies
at its  facilities,  2) supporting  profitable  sales growth both internally and
through  acquisition,  3)  evaluating  strategic  alternatives  with  respect to
underperforming  and/or  non-core lines of business and/or assets and 4) seeking
financing alternatives that may lower its cost of capital and/or enhance current
cash flow.

DISCUSSION OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS FOR 2006, 2005 AND 2004

OVERVIEW

      As of  December  31,  2006,  the  Company  had  consolidated  cash of $4.8
million,  which was comparable to $4.1 million of consolidated  cash at December
31, 2005. For 2006, the Company used $18.8 million in operating activities, used
$34.1 million for investing activities,  and provided $53.3 million by financing
activities.  In 2005, cash flows provided by (used in) operating,  investing and
financing  activities  were ($5.0)  million,  ($26.7) million and $14.9 million,
respectively.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

      Net cash used by  operating  activities  for 2006 totaled  $18.8  million.
Income from  operations  adjusted for non-cash income and expense items provided
$6.0 million of cash.  Working  capital  accounts used $22.6 million of cash, as
follows:  Accounts receivable provided $2.0 million,  inventories  provided $4.6
million, and net other current assets and liabilities used $29.2 million.  Other
non-working capital items included in operations used $1.8 million. Cash used by
operating activities in 2005 totaled $5.0 million, and principally was caused by
the net loss of the period,  as well as working  capital needs for inventory and
accounts  receivable,  but was favorably  impacted by the  realization  of $11.4
million  from the  liquidation  of the net current  assets of the wire and cable
business, a discontinued operation.

      In  2006,  inventory  provided  $4.6  million  of  operating  cash  flows,
principally  because of  reductions  in the amount of  inventory  carried by the
Company.  Inventories  totaled $57.2 million at December 31, 2006, a decrease of
$3.8  million,  or 6.2%,  as compared to December  31, 2005.  During  2006,  the
Company  reduced its  quantities  of precious  metals in  inventory  principally
because of the  wind-down  of the HHEM  business  and because of the sale of its
interest in a Singapore  operation.  Non-precious  metal inventory at the Tubing
segment also  declined,  principally  because of the closure of the H&H Tube Co.
Norristown  facility.   These  decreases  were  partially  offset  by  inventory
purchased  as  part of the  December  2006  acquisition  of a  roofing  fastener
business that H&H made. In 2005,  inventory  used $2.8 million of operating cash
flow, and in 2004, used $24.2 million,  principally because the Company's former
inventory  consignment  facility was terminated during 2004 and as a result, H&H
began to purchase all of its precious metal for  inventory,  which totaled $16.8
million as of December 31, 2004.

      Account  receivable  provided $2.0 million of operating  cash flow in 2006
due principally to lower accounts  receivable  balances  despite higher sales in
the fourth quarter. Accounts receivable totaled $58.7 million as of December 31,
2006,  an increase of $1.5  million,  or 2.5%, as compared to December 31, 2005,
principally  because of the  December  31,  2006  acquisition  described  above.
Partially  offsetting  this increase,  accounts  receivable  declined due to the
shutdown  of a  portion  of the H&H  Tube  Co.  and  HHEM  businesses.  Accounts
receivable used $9.7 million of operating cash flow in 2005. The use of funds in
2005  reflected an increase in year-end  accounts  receivable  compared to 2004,
which was caused by strong sales levels for the fourth  quarter of 2005 compared
to the fourth  quarter of 2004.  Sales for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $99.2
million as compared to $84.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2004.

      Net other current assets and  liabilities  used $29.2 million of cash flow
in 2006 and  provided  $13.2  million in 2005.  The  increase  in funds used was
partially  driven by cash used for the payment of $18.7 million of environmental
remediation  costs during  2006,  as compared to $3.9  million  during 2005.  In
addition, payments to fund the WHX Pension Plan totaling $13.1 million were made
in 2006.  There was also a greater  increase in trade  accounts  payable in 2005
than during 2006, which provided funds in 2005. Other non-working  capital items
included in operating activities used $1.8 million in both 2006 and 2005.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

      Investing  activities  used net cash of $34.1 million and $26.7 million in
2006 and 2005, respectively, and provided $20.3 million in 2004.

      2006 activities  included $7.7 million of capital  expenditures  for plant
additions  and  equipment,  $8.7  million  used  for  net  cash  settlements  on
derivative instruments, and a $26.0 million acquisition. On December 28, 2006, a
subsidiary of H&H acquired a mechanical roofing fastener business.  The purchase
price was approximately $26 million, including a working capital adjustment. The
assets acquired included, among other things, machinery, equipment,  inventories
of raw materials,  work-in-process  and finished  products,  certain  contracts,


                                       27


accounts  receivable and  intellectual  property  rights,  all as related to the
acquired business and as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement. This acquired
business develops and manufactures  fastening systems for the commercial roofing
industry.  WHX believes this acquisition  solidifies H&H's position as a leading
manufacturer and supplier of mechanical  fasteners,  accessories and components,
and  building  products  for  the  North  American  commercial  and  residential
construction  industry.  Also in 2006, $8.7 million of net cash was paid out for
precious  metal  derivative  contracts due to steep  increases in precious metal
market  prices  during  the year.  In 2006,  $7.7  million  was spent on capital
improvements.  The  Company  sold  the  remaining  land  and  building  from its
discontinued  wire and cable business for net proceeds of $7.3 million,  as well
as its interest in a Singapore  operation  for $0.6  million,  and cash proceeds
from other asset sales of $0.3 million during 2006.

      Investing activities in 2005 used cash of $26.7 million and were driven by
capital expenditures of $20.4 million,  which was principally related to a plant
expansion at H&H's fastener facility in Agawam, Massachusetts.  The Company also
invested  $5.0 million in the equity of a small public  company and paid $3.3 of
net cash settlements for precious metal derivative contracts.  Offsetting these,
the Company received  proceeds of $1.9 million from sale of wire and cable group
assets in 2005.

      Investing  activities in 2004 provided cash of $20.3 million,  principally
from the proceeds of selling two aircraft for an aggregate of $26.0 million.  In
2003,  WHX purchased an aircraft for $19.3  million,  which it sold in the first
quarter of 2004 for $19.3 million.  Additionally,  WHX sold another  aircraft in
the second  quarter of 2004 for $7.0  million in cash and  resulted in a pre-tax
gain of $1.7  million.  The Company also  received $5.6 million of proceeds upon
the sale of a note  receivable  from WPSC to a third  party.  WHX had received a
$10.0  million  subordinated  note  from  WPSC  upon  consummation  of  the  WPC
Bankruptcy Plan of  Reorganization.  The note had been fully reserved,  and when
the note was sold,  the reserve was  reversed  and $5.6  million was recorded in
other income.  These cash inflows were partially offset by capital  expenditures
for plant and  equipment  additions of $9.4  million,  and also by the Company's
acquisition  of Protechno  s.a., a  manufacturer  of brazing  alloys and fluxes,
located in Riberac, France, for $2.4 million.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

      Financing   activities  provided  $53.3  million  of  net  cash  in  2006,
principally from new borrowings,  which totaled $75.0 million during the period.
The  increase in debt during 2006  consists of the  following:  On December  29,
2005,  H&H  entered  into an  amendment  to its  Term B Loan  with  Steel.  This
amendment  provided for,  among other things,  an increase of the Term B Loan in
January 2006 by $10 million. On January 24, 2006, H&H's wholly-owned subsidiary,
OMG, Inc.  entered into a loan  agreement  with Sovereign Bank for $8.0 million,
collateralized  by a mortgage on OMG,  Inc.'s real property.  On March 31, 2006,
H&H and Steel  agreed to an  increase  in the Term B Loan in the  amount of $9.0
million and the prepayment in the same amount of a portion of H&H's subordinated
intercompany  promissory  note issued to WHX. On October 30,  2006,  H&H and its
bank group amended its facilities to provide,  among other things, an additional
$7.0 million  term loan upon the filing of its 2005 Annual  Report on Form 10-K,
and an  immediate  $3.0 million of borrowing  availability  under its  revolving
credit  facility.  On December  27, 2006,  Wachovia  provided H&H with such $7.0
million  loan.  On December  28,  2006,  H&H and  certain of H&H's  subsidiaries
amended  their Loan and  Security  Agreement  with  Wachovia  and their Loan and
Security Agreement with Steel to provide,  among other things, for a $42 million
term loan  funded by Ableco  Finance  LLC. A portion of the funds from this loan
($26  million)  was  used to fund the  acquisition  discussed  in the  Investing
Activities   section  above.  Also  during  2006,  the  Company  made  principal
repayments totaling $8.9 million on term loans,  utilizing funds mainly obtained
from  the  sale of the  assets  of the  discontinued  wire  and  cable  business
discussed above.

      2005 financing activities provided $14.9 million of cash, principally from
$11.7 million of additional net drawdowns on the H&H revolving  credit facility.
Cash was also  provided by the issuance of $5.1 million in preferred  stock by a
newly  created  subsidiary  (which was  invested in the equity of a small public
company).  Offsetting these, cash was used to make principal  repayments on term
loans totaling $3.2 million during 2005. The Company also  refinanced its Term B
loan. On September 8, 2005, H&H completed the assignment of its Term B Loan from
Canpartners,  to Steel, as agent and lender.  Substantially all of the terms and
conditions of the Term B Loan continued  without  amendment.  Steel is a related
party because it is the  beneficial  holder of 5,029,793  shares of WHX's common
stock, representing approximately 50% of the outstanding shares.

      2004  financing  activities  used $2.0 million of net cash, and included a
major  refinancing  of the Company's  2003  existing  credit  agreements.  H&H's
revolving  credit  facilities  existing at December  31, 2003  ("Senior  Secured
Credit  Facilities")  were  scheduled to mature on July 31,  2004.  On March 31,
2004,  H&H obtained  new  financing  agreements  to replace and repay the Senior
Secured  Credit  Facilities  (use of funds of $149.7  million) The new financing
agreements  included a $70.0  million  (subsequently  reduced to $62.9  million)
revolving credit facility (replacing a pre-existing  revolving credit agreement)
and a $22.2 million Term A Loan with Wachovia Capital Finance, formerly Congress
Financial  Corporation,  as agent and a lender and a $71.0  million  Term B Loan
with Ableco Finance LLP  ("Ableco").  On October 29, 2004 the Ableco Term B Loan
was assigned to Canpartners  Investments IV, LLC  ("Canpartners").  In addition,
the Company  paid $5.4  million of debt  issuance  fees in  connection  with the
refinancing.


                                       28


BANKRUPTCY FILING AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF WHX

      On March 7, 2005,  WHX filed a  voluntary  petition  to  reorganize  under
Chapter 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy  Court. WHX
continued  to operate  its  businesses  and own and manage its  properties  as a
debtor-in-possession  under  the  jurisdiction  of the  Bankruptcy  Court and in
accordance  with the  applicable  provisions  of the  Bankruptcy  Code  until it
emerged from  protection  under  Chapter 11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code on July 29,
2005.

      Neither  H&H,  nor any of WHX's other  subsidiaries  or  affiliates,  were
included  in its  Bankruptcy  Filing.  All of H&H's  operating  units  conducted
business in the ordinary course during the bankruptcy.  WHX's Bankruptcy  Filing
was  primarily  intended to reduce its debt,  simplify  its  capital  structure,
reduce its overall cost of capital and provide it with better  access to capital
markets.

      On March 7, 2005, WHX also filed a proposed Plan of  Reorganization  and a
related  proposed  disclosure  statement with the Bankruptcy  Court.  On June 7,
2005, WHX filed its first amended Chapter 11 Plan.and on June 8, 2005, WHX filed
its second amended  Disclosure  Statement.  On July 21, 2005, WHX  Corporation's
Chapter 11 Plan of  Reorganization  was confirmed by the Bankruptcy  Court.  The
Plan became effective on July 29, 2005 (the "Effective Date").

      The  Bankruptcy  Filing  created an event of default  under the  Indenture
governing WHX's 10 1/2% Senior Notes due April 15, 2005.  Under the terms of the
Senior Notes, as a result of the Bankruptcy  Filing, the entire unpaid principal
and accrued interest (and any other additional  amounts) became  immediately due
and payable  without any action on the part of the trustee or the note  holders.
The  principal  amount  outstanding  under the Senior Notes at March 7, 2005 was
approximately $92.8 million. Accrued interest to March 7, 2005 was approximately
$3.8 million.

      The  following is a summary of certain  material  features of the Plan and
the Confirmation Order. On the Effective Date:

      o     All of WHX's outstanding securities,  including WHX's pre-bankruptcy
            filing common stock,  Series A preferred  stock,  Series B preferred
            stock and 10 1/2% Senior  Notes were deemed  cancelled  and annulled
            without further act or action.

      o     In full and complete  satisfaction  of all such  claims,  holders of
            WHX's 10 1/2% Senior Notes received 9,200,000 shares of common stock
            representing their prorated share of the reorganized company.  These
            shares represent 92% of the equity in the reorganized company.

      o     In full and complete  satisfaction of all such  interests,  Series A
            preferred  stockholders  received  366,322  shares of  common  stock
            representing  their  prorated share of the  reorganized  company and
            344,658  warrants  to  purchase  common  stock  of  the  reorganized
            company,  exercisable  at $11.20 per share and  expiring on February
            28, 2008.

      o     In full and complete  satisfaction of all such  interests,  Series B
            preferred  stockholders  received  433,678  shares of  common  stock
            representing  their  prorated share of the  reorganized  company and
            408,030  warrants  to  purchase  common  stock  of  the  reorganized
            company,  exercisable  at $11.20 per share and  expiring on February
            28, 2008.

      o     Holders of WHX's  pre-bankruptcy  filing  common  stock  received no
            distribution under the Plan.

      The  common  stock  received  by  the  Series  A and  Series  B  preferred
stockholders,  collectively,  represents  8% of the  equity  in the  reorganized
company.   The  warrants   issued  to  the  Series  A  and  Series  B  preferred
stockholders,  collectively, represent the right to purchase an additional 7% of
the equity of the reorganized company after giving effect to the exercise of the
warrants.

      On the  Effective  Date,  all of the  assets  of WHX  were  vested  in the
reorganized  company  free and clear of all liens,  causes of  actions,  claims,
encumbrances,  equity interests,  and interests against,  in, or on such assets,
except as explicitly provided in the Plan.

      The reorganization  value of the assets of WHX immediately before the date
of  confirmation  of the Plan was  greater  than the total of all  post-petition
liabilities and allowed claims.  Despite the ownership  change,  the Company did
not qualify for Fresh-Start  reporting in accordance with the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting
by  Entities  in  Reorganization   under  the  Bankruptcy  Code"  ("SOP  90-7").
Accordingly,  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  reorganized  company  upon
emergence from bankruptcy are stated at their historical values.

      Upon its emergence from  bankruptcy on July 29, 2005,  WHX  experienced an
ownership  change as defined by Section 382 of the Internal  Revenue Code, which
imposes   annual   limitations   on  the   utilization  of  net  operating  loss
carryforwards  post ownership change.  The Company believes it qualifies for the
bankruptcy  exception  to  the  general  Section  382  limitations.  Under  this
exception,  the  annual  limitation  imposed by Section  382  resulting  from an
ownership  change will not apply,  instead the net operating loss  carryforwards
must be  reduced  by  certain  interest  expense  paid to  creditors  who became
stockholders  as a result  of the  bankruptcy  reorganization.  Thus,  WHX's net
operating  loss  carryforwards  of $116.0  million as of December  31, 2004 were
reduced  by  approximately   $31.0  million  to  approximately   $85.0  million.
Additionally,  if WHX should undergo a second  ownership change within two years
of the date of change  as a result  of the  reorganization,  its  remaining  net
operating losses would be effectively reduced to zero. Accordingly,  in order to
avoid subsequent  ownership  changes,  WHX's new charter contains a 5% ownership
limit pursuant to which certain transfers of WHX's shares will be limited.

DEBT

HANDY & HARMAN

      H&H's revolving credit  facilities  existing at December 31, 2003 ("Senior
Secured Credit  Facilities") were scheduled to mature on July 31, 2004. On March
31, 2004, H&H obtained new financing  agreements to replace and repay the Senior
Secured Credit Facilities. The new financing agreements included a $70.0 million
(subsequently  reduced to $62.9 million)  revolving  credit facility and a $22.2
million Term A Loan with Wachovia Capital Finance,  formerly Congress  Financial
Corporation,  as agent and a lender ("Wachovia  Facilities") and a $71.0 million
Term B Loan with Ableco Finance LLP ("Ableco").  On October 29, 2004, the Ableco
Term B Loan was assigned to Canpartners Investments IV, LLC ("Canpartners").  On
September  8, 2005,  the Term B Loan was  assigned  to Steel  Partners  II, L.P.
("Steel").

      The new  revolving  credit  facility  provided for up to $62.9  million of
borrowings  dependent on the levels of and  collateralized  by eligible accounts
receivable  and  inventory.  The new  revolving  credit  facility  provided  for
interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% or the U.S.  Base rate plus 1.00%.  An amendment to
the facility on December  29, 2004  lowered the margins on the revolver  loan to
LIBOR plus 2.25% or the U.S. Base Rate plus 0.5%. The Wachovia Facilities mature
on June 30, 2008. The Term A Loan is  collateralized  by eligible  equipment and
real  estate,  and  provided  for interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% or the prime rate
plus 1.5%. An amendment to the facility on December 29, 2004 lowered the margins
on the  Term A Loan to  LIBOR  plus  2.5%  or the  U.S.  Base  Rate  plus  .75%.
Borrowings under the Wachovia  Facilities are  collateralized  by first priority
security  interests in and liens upon all present and future stock and assets of
H&H and its  subsidiaries,  including  all contract  rights,  deposit  accounts,
investment property,  inventory,  equipment, real property, and all products and
proceeds  thereof.  The  principal  of the  Term A Loan is  payable  in  monthly
installments  of $0.2  million.  The Wachovia  Facilities  contain  affirmative,
negative,  and financial covenants (including minimum EBITDA,  maximum leverage,
and fixed charge coverage,  and restrictions on cash  distributions  that can be
made to WHX).

      On May 20,  2005,  H&H entered  into an amendment to the Loan and Security
Agreement with Wachovia ("Wachovia Amendment").  The Wachovia Amendment provided
for amendments to certain financial  covenants,  an additional equipment loan of
up to $3 million, as well as certain other terms and conditions.

      On  September  8, 2005,  H&H entered  into an  amendment  to the  Wachovia
Facilities. This amendment provides for, among other things, (i) the revision of
the  calculation  of  components  of the  borrowing  base which  resulted  in an
increase in availability and (ii) the increase of the current outstanding amount
of the term loan to $22.2 million from $16.0 million.

      On December  29,  2005,  H&H entered  into an  amendment  to the  Wachovia
Facilities. This amendment provides for, among other things, (i) the increase of
the borrowing base by $3.5 million  through January 31, 2006, (ii) the waiver of
certain defaults and (iii) certain related amendments to the covenants.

      On January 24,  2006,  H&H entered  into a consent  and  amendment  to the
Wachovia  Facilities.  This consent and amendment was made in connection  with a
loan  agreement  entered  by H&H's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  OMG,  Inc.,  with
Sovereign Bank dated as of January 24, 2006 collateralized by a mortgage on OMG,
Inc.'s  real  property  pursuant  to which an $8.0  million  term  loan was made
available to OMG,  Inc. This consent and  amendment  provides  for,  among other
things,  amending certain definitions to reflect the loan agreement entered into
by OMG, Inc.

      On  March  31,  2006,  H&H  entered  into  an  amendment  to the  Wachovia
Facilities.  This  amendment  provided for,  among other things,  consent to the
increase  of the Term B Loan on the same  date in the  principal  amount of $9.0
million and the prepayment of a portion of H&H's  subordinated  promissory  note
issued to WHX (the "WHX Note") in the principal amount of $9.0 million.

      On December  27,  2006,  Wachovia  provided  H&H with an  additional  $7.0
million loan. This was pursuant to an amendment signed on October 30, 2006 which
made the  additional  funds  conditional  upon the filing of the Company's  2005
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      The Term B Loan matures on June 30, 2008 and provides for annual  payments
based on 40% of excess  cash  flow as  defined  in the  agreement.  Interest  is
payable  monthly at the Prime Rate plus 4.0%. At no time shall the Prime Rate of
interest  be below  4.0%.  The Term B Facility  has a second  priority  security
interest  in and lien on all  assets of H&H,  subject  to the prior  lien of the
Wachovia  Facilities and a prior lien of $15.5 million to the PBGC in connection
with the PBGC Settlement  Agreement.  The Term B facility contains  affirmative,
negative,  and financial covenants  (including minimum EBITDA,  maximum leverage
and fixed charge coverage,  restrictions on cash  distributions that can be made
to WHX and cross-default provisions with the Wachovia Facilities).


                                       30


      On May 20,  2005,  H&H entered  into an amendment to the Loan and Security
Agreement with Canpartners ("Canpartners Amendment").  The Canpartners Amendment
provided for amendments to certain financial  covenants as well as certain other
terms and conditions.

      On September 8, 2005, H&H completed the assignment of its Term B Loan from
Canpartners,  to Steel, as agent and lender.  Substantially all of the terms and
conditions  of  the  Term B  Loan  continued  without  amendment.  Steel  is the
beneficial  holder of  5,029,793  shares  of WHX's  common  stock,  representing
approximately  50% of the  outstanding  shares.  Warren  Lichtenstein,  the sole
executive  officer and managing  member of Steel Partners,  L.L.C.,  the general
partner of Steel Partners II, L.P., is the Chairman of the Board of WHX.

      On December  29,  2005,  H&H entered  into an amendment to its Term B Loan
with Steel. This amendment provides for, among other things, (i) the increase of
the Term B Loan by $10  million,  to $81  million,  (ii) the  waiver of  certain
defaults and (iii) certain related amendments to the covenants.

      On January 24, 2006,  H&H entered into a consent and amendment to its Term
B Loan.  This consent and amendment was made in connection with a five-year loan
and security agreement entered by H&H's wholly-owned subsidiary, OMG, Inc., with
Sovereign Bank dated as of January 24, 2006 collateralized by a mortgage on OMG,
Inc.'s  real  property  pursuant  to which an $8.0  million  term  loan was made
available to OMG,  Inc. This consent and  amendment  provides  for,  among other
things,  (i) the amendment of certain  definitions to reflect the loan agreement
entered into by OMG,  Inc. and (ii) the increase of the  indebtedness  covenant,
each to reflect the loan agreement entered into by OMG, Inc.

      On March 31, 2006, H&H entered into an amendment to the Term B Loan.  This
amendment  provided for, among other things,  an additional loan of $9.0 million
to H&H and its  subsidiaries  to be used to make a prepayment on the WHX Note of
up to such amount, which prepayments and additional loans were made at March 31,
2006.

      On December 28, 2006,  H&H and certain of H&H's  subsidiaries  amended the
respective  Loan and Security  Agreements  with both  Wachovia and with Steel to
provide, in part, for: (i) the consummation of the transactions  contemplated by
the PBGC Settlement  Agreement and the waiver of possible events of default that
may have  occurred  relating  to the  matters  covered  by the  PBGC  Settlement
Agreement (see "Pension Plan" below); and (ii) a $42 million term loan funded by
Ableco Finance LLC.

      On March 29,  2007,  H&H and  certain of H&H's  subsidiaries  amended  the
respective Loan and Security  Agreements with Wachovia and Steel to, among other
things,  (i) amend the  definition  of  EBITDA,  (ii) reset the levels and amend
certain of the financial  covenants,  (iii) extend the  termination  date of the
credit  facilities  from March 31,  2007 to June 30,  2008,  and (iv) permit the
extension  by H&H to WHX of an  unsecured  loan  for  required  payments  to the
pension plan, and for other uses of an unsecured loan in the aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $3.5 million under certain conditions.  The amendments also
provided  for the pledge of 65% of all  outstanding  securities  of Indiana Tube
Danmark  A/S, a Danish  corporation  and a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Handy &
Harman  International,  Ltd., and Protechno,  S.A., a French  corporation  and a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Indiana Tube Danmark A/S.  Finally,  the  amendments
also provided for waivers of certain events of default  existing as of March 29,
2007.

BAIRNCO

      In connection  with the closing of the Offer and the Merger in April 2007,
initial  financing was provided by Steel through two facilities.  Steel extended
to BZA bridge loans in principal  amounts of approximately  $75.1 million,  $1.4
million and $10.0 million (and may extend additional loans of approximately $3.6
million,  up to an  aggregate  total  amount  of  borrowings  of $90.0  million)
pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Bridge Loan Agreement"), between
BZA and Bairnco, as borrowers, and Steel, as lender. In addition, Steel extended
to WHX a $15.0 million  subordinated  loan, which is unsecured at the WHX level,
pursuant to a Subordinated Loan and Security  Agreement (the  "Subordinated Loan
Agreement" and, together with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the "Loan Agreements"),
between  WHX, as  borrower,  and Steel,  as lender.  WHX  contributed  the $15.0
million proceeds of the subordinated loan to BZA as a capital contribution.

      The Bridge  Loan  Agreement  provides  for bridge  term loans of up to $90
million  from  Steel to BZA,  which  were  assumed by Bairnco as a result of the
Merger.  Borrowings  under the Bridge Loan Agreement bear (i) cash interest at a
rate per annum  equal to the prime  rate of JP Morgan  Chase plus 1.75% and (ii)
pay-in-kind interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.5% for the first 90 days the
initial  loan is  outstanding  and 5%  (instead  of 4.5%) for the balance of the
term, each as adjusted from time to time. The minimum aggregate interest rate on
borrowings  under the Bridge Loan  Agreement is 14.5% per annum for the first 90
days the initial loan is  outstanding,  and 15% (instead of 14.5%) per annum for
the balance of the term, and the maximum  aggregate  interest rate on borrowings
under the Bridge Loan Agreement is 18% per annum. The cash interest rate and the


                                       31


pay-in-kind  interest  rate may be adjusted  from time to time,  by agreement of
Steel and  Bairnco,  so long as the  aggregate  interest  rate remains the same.
Interest  is  payable  monthly in  arrears.  Obligations  under the Bridge  Loan
Agreement are guaranteed by certain of Bairnco's  subsidiaries  and secured by a
junior lien on the assets of Bairnco and certain of its subsidiaries and capital
stock of certain of Bairnco's  subsidiaries.  Obligations  under the Bridge Loan
Agreement  are  also  guaranteed  by the  Company  on an  unsecured  basis.  The
scheduled  maturity date of the indebtedness  under the Bridge Loan Agreement is
the earlier to occur of (i) June 30, 2008 and (ii) such time as Bairnco  obtains
any replacement  financing.  Indebtedness under the Bridge Loan Agreement may be
prepaid without penalty or premium.

      The Subordinated  Loan Agreement  provides for a subordinated term loan of
$15 million from Steel to WHX,  which is unsecured at the WHX level.  Borrowings
under the Subordinated  Loan Agreement bear  pay-in-kind  interest at a rate per
annum equal to the prime rate of JP Morgan Chase plus 7.75%,  adjusted from time
to time,  with a minimum  interest rate of 16% per annum and a maximum  interest
rate of 19% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Obligations under
the  Subordinated  Loan  Agreement are  guaranteed by Bairnco and certain of its
subsidiaries  and  secured by a junior lien on the assets of Bairnco and certain
of its subsidiaries and capital stock of certain of Bairnco's subsidiaries.  The
indebtedness  under the  Subordinated  Loan  Agreement will mature on the second
anniversary of the issuance of the subordinated  loan and may be prepaid without
penalty or premium.

      The  Loan  Agreements  contain  customary   representations,   warranties,
covenants,  events of default and indemnification  provisions.  The indebtedness
under  the  Bridge  Loan  Agreement  and  the  related  security   interests  is
subordinated to the indebtedness and related  security  interests  granted under
Bairnco's  existing  senior  credit  facility  with Bank of  America,  N.A.  The
guarantees of the  indebtedness  under the  Subordinated  Loan Agreement and the
related  security  interests is  subordinated to all  indebtedness  and security
interests described in the preceding sentence.

      On November  9, 2006,  Bairnco  entered  into a five year,  $42.0  million
Senior Secured Credit Facility with Bank of America.  The $42.0 million facility
is apportioned as follows: a five-year $15.0 million term loan and up to a $27.0
million  revolving  credit  facility,  including a $13.0  million  sub-limit for
letters of credit and a $3.0 million  sub-limit for foreign  currency loans. The
Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility  is  collateralized  by  a  first  lien  on
substantially  all of the  domestic  assets of  Bairnco,  the  capital  stock of
domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries.  The
Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility  matures on November 8, 2011.  This Bairnco
Revolving  Credit Facility was amended on March 23, 2007 to permit the change of
control in connection with the closing of the Offer, among other things, and was
further  amended on April 24, 2007 to amend certain  covenants and to permit the
financing under the Loan Agreements, among other things.

      The term loan under the Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility has scheduled
principal  payments  of $1.1  million  in 2007,  2008,  2009 and 2010,  and $1.0
million in 2011,  with the balance due at maturity.  Interest  rates vary on the
term  loan  and are set  from  time to time in  relationship  to one of  several
reference  rates,  as selected by Bairnco.  Interest rates vary on the revolving
credit  notes and are set at the time of  borrowing  in  relationship  to one of
several reference rates as selected by Bairnco.

      A  commitment  fee is paid  on the  unused  portion  of the  total  credit
facility.  The  amount  Bairnco  can  borrow at any given  time is based  upon a
formula that takes into  account,  among other  things,  eligible  inventory and
accounts receivable, which can result in borrowing availability of less than the
full amount of the Bairnco Revolving Credit Facility.

      The Bairnco Revolving Credit Facility contains customary  representations,
warranties,  covenants  (including  a  covenant  that  permits  Bairnco  to make
distributions  to WHX provided that  specified  conditions  are met),  events of
default and  indemnification  provisions.  The Bairnco Revolving Credit Facility
also  contains a financial  covenant  which  requires  Bairnco to meet a minimum
fixed charge coverage ratio, including upon the payment of any distribution from
Bairnco to WHX.

      In addition,  Bairnco has a China  foreign  loan  facility  that  reflects
borrowing by its Chinese  facilities through Bank of America,  Shanghai,  China,
which is secured by four U.S. dollar denominated letters of credit totaling $5.2
million issued under the Secured Credit Facility.

OTHER OBLIGATIONS

PENSION PLAN

      On December 20, 2006, the Internal  Revenue  Service granted a conditional
waiver  (the "IRS  Waiver")  of the  minimum  funding  requirements  for the WHX
Pension  Plan for the 2005 plan year in  accordance  with section 412 (d) of the


                                       32


Internal  Revenue  Code and section 303 of the  Employee  Retirement  Income and
Security  Act of 1974,  as  amended  ("ERISA"),  which  had not been paid by the
Company due to liquidity issues. On December 28, 2006, WHX, H&H, and the Pension
Benefit Guaranty  Corporation  (the "PBGC") entered into a settlement  agreement
(the "PBGC Settlement  Agreement") in connection with the IRS Waiver and certain
other  matters.  The IRS Waiver is subject to certain  conditions,  including  a
requirement  that the Company meet the minimum funding  requirements for the WHX
Pension Plan for the plan years ending  December 31, 2006 through 2010,  without
applying for a waiver of such  requirements.  The PBGC Settlement  Agreement and
related  agreements  include the following:  (i) the  amortization of the waived
amount of $15.5 million (the "Waiver Amount") over a period of five years,  (ii)
the PBGC's consent to increase  borrowings under H&H's senior credit facility to
$125  million  in  connection  with the  closing  of an  acquisition,  (iii) the
resolution of any potential issues under Section 4062(e) of ERISA, in connection
with the  cessation of  operations  at certain  facilities  owned by WHX, H&H or
their  subsidiaries,  and (iv) the granting to the PBGC of subordinate  liens on
the  assets  of H&H  and its  subsidiaries,  and  specified  assets  of WHX,  to
collateralize  WHX's obligation to pay the Waiver Amount to the WHX Pension Plan
and to make  certain  payments  to the WHX  Pension  Plan  in the  event  of its
termination.  As a result of the PBGC  Settlement  Agreement and the IRS Waiver,
based on estimates from WHX's actuary,  the Company  expects its minimum funding
requirement  for the  specific  plan  year  and  the  amortization  of the  2005
requirement  to be $13.1 million (paid in full in 2006),  $10.8  million,  $11.0
million,  $8.9 million, $7.0 million and $2.3 million (which amounts reflect the
recent passage of the Pension Protection Act of 2006) in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009,
2010 and 2011, respectively.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

      H&H's  facilities and  operations  are subject to extensive  environmental
laws and regulations  imposed by federal,  state,  foreign and local authorities
relating to the protection of the environment. It could incur substantial costs,
including cleanup costs, fines or sanctions, and third-party claims for property
damage or personal  injury,  as a result of violations of or  liabilities  under
environmental  laws. H&H has incurred,  and in the future may continue to incur,
liability  under  environmental  statutes  and  regulations  with respect to the
contamination detected at sites owned or operated by it (including contamination
caused by prior owners and operators of such sites,  abutters or other  persons)
and the sites at which H&H disposed of hazardous substances.  As of December 31,
2006,  H&H has  established  a reserve  totaling  $9.4  million  with respect to
certain presently  estimated  environmental  remediation costs at certain of its
facilities.  This  reserve may not be adequate  to cover the  ultimate  costs of
remediation, including discovery of additional contaminants or the imposition of
additional  cleanup  obligations  which could result in  significant  additional
costs. In addition, H&H expects that future regulations, and changes in the text
or  interpretation  of  existing  regulations,  may  subject it to  increasingly
stringent standards. Compliance with such requirements may make it necessary for
H&H to retrofit existing facilities with additional pollution-control equipment,
undertake new measures in connection with the storage, transportation, treatment
and disposal of  by-products  and wastes or take other steps,  which may be at a
substantial cost to H&H.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH STEEL

      On October 26, 2005, WHX CS Corp.  ("CS"),  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of
WHX,  entered  into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement  by and  between  CS and Steel.
Pursuant to this  agreement,  CS sold 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred  Stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the "Steel Shares"),  to Steel. Steel paid a purchase
price of $5,100 per share or an aggregate  purchase  price of $5.1 million.  The
proceeds  of the sale were  used by CS to  purchase  1,898,337  shares of Cosine
Communications,  Inc. The Steel Shares accrue  dividends at 6.0% per annum.  The
Steel  Shares  were  required to be  redeemed  by CS for $5.1  million  plus all
accrued and unpaid  dividends  on October 26, 2006 or, at the sole option of the
Board of  Directors  of CS,  on any  earlier  date.  However,  there was no such
redemption on that date.

PENSION PLAN CONTINGENCY ARISING FROM THE WPC GROUP BANKRUPTCY

      Wheeling-Pittsburgh  Corporation  ("WPC")  and  six  of  its  subsidiaries
(collectively  referred to as the "WPC  Group"),  including  Wheeling-Pittsburgh
Steel Corporation ("WPSC"), a vertically integrated  manufacturer of value-added
and flat  rolled  steel  products,  was a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of WHX.  On
November 16, 2000, the WPC Group filed a petition seeking  reorganization  under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy  Code. A Chapter 11 Plan
of Reorganization for the WPC Group (the "WPC POR") was consummated on August 1,
2003,  pursuant  to which,  among  other  things,  the WPC Group  ceased to be a
subsidiary of WHX effective  August 1, 2003, and from that date forward has been
an independent company.

      As part of the WPC POR, the Company  agreed to make certain  contributions
(the  "WHX   Contributions")   to  the  reorganized   company.   Under  the  WHX
Contributions,  the Company  forgave the repayment of its claims against the WPC
Group of  approximately  $39.0  million and,  additionally,  contributed  to the
reorganized company $20.0 million of cash, for which the Company received a note
in the amount of $10.0 million. The note was fully reserved upon receipt.

      On  March  6,  2003,  the  PBGC  published  its  Notice  of  Determination
("Notice") and on March 7, 2003 filed a Summons and Complaint  ("Complaint")  in
United States  District Court for the Southern  District of New York seeking the
involuntary   termination   of  the  WHX  Pension  Plan  (the  "WHX  Plan"),   a
defined-benefit  pension plan  sponsored by the Company  that  provides  pension
benefits to active and retired  employees of WHX and H&H and certain benefits to


                                       33


active and retired employees or members of the WPC Group. WHX filed an answer to
this  complaint on March 27, 2003,  contesting  the PBGC's  action.  On July 24,
2003, the Company  entered into an agreement  among the PBGC, WPC, WPSC, and the
United  Steelworkers of America,  AFL-CIO-CLC  ("USWA") in settlement of matters
relating to the PBGC V. WHX CORPORATION ("Termination Litigation"), in which the
PBGC was seeking to terminate the WHX Plan.  Under the  settlement,  among other
things, WHX agreed (a) that the WHX Plan, as it is currently  constituted,  is a
single employer  pension plan, (b) to contribute  funds to the WHX Plan equal to
moneys  spent (if any) by WHX or its  affiliates  to purchase  WHX 10.5%  Senior
Notes ("Senior Notes") in future open market  transactions,  and (c) to grant to
the PBGC a pari passu security  interest of up to $50.0 million in the event WHX
obtained  any future  financing  on a secured  basis or provided any security or
collateral for the Senior Notes.

      Also under the  settlement,  all parties  agreed that as of the  effective
date of the WPC POR,  (a) no shutdowns  had occurred at any WPC Group  facility,
(b) no member of the WPC Group is a  participating  employer under the WHX Plan,
(c)  continuous  service for WPC Group  employees  was broken,  (d) no WPC Group
employees will become  entitled to "Rule of 65" or "70/80"  Retirement  Benefits
(collectively,  "Shutdown  Benefits")  by reason of events  occurring  after the
effective  date of the WPC POR, and (e) the WHX Plan would provide for a limited
early retirement option to allow up to 650 WPSC  USWA-represented  employees the
right to receive retirement benefits based on the employee's years of service as
of  July  31,  2003  with a  monthly  benefit  equal  to $40  multiplied  by the
employee's years of service.

      Finally,  under  the  settlement,  the PBGC  agreed  (a)  that,  after the
effective  date of the WPC POR, if it  terminates  the WHX Plan at least one day
prior  to a WPC  Group  facility  shutdown,  WHX  shall  be  released  from  any
additional  liability to the PBGC resulting  from the shutdown,  (b) to withdraw
its claims in the WPC Bankruptcy Proceedings, and (c) to dismiss the Termination
Litigation.

      The agreement  with the PBGC also contains the provision that WHX will not
contest a future action by the PBGC to terminate the WHX Plan in connection with
a future WPC Group facility shutdown.  In the event that such a plan termination
occurs,  the PBGC has agreed to  release  WHX from any  claims  relating  to the
shutdown. However, there may be PBGC claims related to unfunded liabilities that
may exist as a result of a termination of the WHX Plan.

SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS

      As of December 31, 2006,  the total of the  Company's  future  contractual
commitments,  including  the  repayment of debt  obligations  is  summarized  as

(1)   Interest payments do not include interest on Short-term debt.  Interest on
      variable-rate debt is based on current prevailing interest rates. Interest
      payments-related  party  pertain  to debt owed to the  Company's  majority
      shareholder,  Steel.  Such  interest  is not  expected  to be paid in cash
      pursuant  to the  terms of a  Subordination  Agreement  between  Steel and
      Wachovia.

(2)   See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form
      10-K.

(3)   Pension and other retirement benefits  contributions  include all plans as
      discussed in Note 7 of the Consolidated  Financial  Statements.  Projected
      contributions  for 5 years (through 2011) are included on the above table,
      but contributions would continue beyond 5 years assuming the related plans
      are in effect.

      It is not the Company's usual business  practice to enter into off-balance
sheet  arrangements  such as  guarantees  on loans  and  financial  commitments,
indemnification arrangements, and retained interests in assets transferred to an
unconsolidated entity for securitization purposes. Consequently, the Company has
no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a
material  current  or  future  effect on its  financial  condition,  changes  in
financial  condition,  revenues or expenses,  results of operations,  liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources.


                                       34


      In addition to the above  obligations,  certain customers and suppliers of
the  Precious  Metal  Segment  choose to do  business  on a "pool"  basis.  Such
customers or suppliers  furnish  precious  metal to H&H for return in fabricated
form (customer  metal) or for purchase from or return to the supplier.  When the
customer's  precious  metal is  returned in  fabricated  form,  the  customer is
charged a  fabrication  charge.  The value of  consigned  precious  metal is not
included in the Company's balance sheet.

SUMMARY

      The Company believes that recent new and amended  financing  arrangements,
acquisitions,  the IRS Waiver and the PBGC Settlement  Agreement,  the sale of a
non-essential  operating  unit,  as  well as  recent  improvements  in its  core
operations,  and the substantial  completion of a major  remediation of property
relating  to certain  environmental  liabilities  should  permit the  Company to
generate  sufficient working capital to meet its obligations as they mature over
the next twelve months. The ability of the Company to meet its cash requirements
over this time period is dependent,  in part,  on the Company's  ability to meet
its business  plan.  Management  believes  that existing  capital  resources and
sources of credit, including the H&H facilities and the Bairnco facilities,  are
adequate to meet its current and anticipated cash requirements. The Company also
continues to examine all of its options and strategies,  including acquisitions,
divestitures,  and  other  corporate  transactions,  to  increase  cash flow and
stockholder  value.  However,  if the  Company's  cash  needs are  greater  than
anticipated  or the Company does not  materially  satisfy its business plan, the
Company may be required to seek  additional or  alternative  financing  sources.
There can be no assurance  that such financing will be available or available on
terms acceptable to the Company.

      As noted  above,  the Company  has taken the  following  actions  which it
believes will improve liquidity and help provide for adequate  liquidity to fund
the Company's capital needs for the next twelve months.

      o     On December 20, 2006,  the IRS granted a  conditional  waiver of the
            $15.5 million minimum  funding  requirement for the WHX Pension Plan
            for the 2005 plan year and on December 28, 2006,  WHX,  H&H, and the
            PBGC entered into the PBGC  Settlement  Agreement in connection with
            the IRS Waiver and certain  other  matters.  As a result of the PBGC
            Settlement  Agreement  and the IRS Waiver,  based on estimates  from
            WHX's actuary,  the Company expects its minimum funding  requirement
            for  the  specific  plan  year  and  the  amortization  of the  2005
            requirement  to be  $13.1  million  (paid  in full in  2006),  $10.8
            million,  $11.0 million, $8.9 million, $7.0 million and $2.3 million
            (which amounts reflect the recent passage of the Pension  Protection
            Act of 2006) in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

      o     Availability  under H&H's Loan and  Security  Agreements'  revolving
            credit facility as of December 31, 2006 was $19.1 million, and as of
            March 31, 2007, was approximately  $15.5 million. On March 29, 2007,
            all such facilities,  including the term loans,  were amended to (i)
            redefine  EBITDA,  (ii) reset the  levels  and amend  certain of the
            financial covenants, (iii) extend the termination date of the credit
            facilities  from March 31,  2007 to June 30,  2008,  (iv) permit the
            extension by H&H to WHX of an unsecured  loan for required  payments
            to the pension plan,  under certain  conditions,  and (v) permit the
            extension by H&H to WHX of an  unsecured  loan for other uses in the
            aggregate  principal amount not to exceed $3.5 million under certain
            conditions.

      o     Following the closing of the Bairnco Merger,  upon the  satisfaction
            of certain conditions, Bairnco is permitted to make distributions to
            WHX. As of March 31, 2007,  availability under the Bairnco Revolving
            Credit Facility was approximately  $12.0 million,  although there is
            no assurance that such amount will be available in the future, or if
            available, that Bairnco will satisfy the conditions for distributing
            this amount to WHX.

      o     The  acquisition  by a  subsidiary  of H&H of a  mechanical  roofing
            fastener business for approximately $26 million, including a working
            capital  adjustment,  on December  28,  2006,  which we believe will
            prove  to  be a  valuable  acquisition  which  will  solidify  H&H's
            position  as a  leading  manufacturer  and  supplier  of  mechanical
            fasteners, accessories and components, and building products for the
            North American commercial and residential construction industry.

      o     The sale in March 2007 of a non-core  business  which had  generated
            operating losses in the past year.

      o     The  substantial  completion of remediation of property  relating to
            certain environmental liabilities.

      In view of the matters described in the preceding  paragraphs,  management
believes that the Company has the ability to meet its financing  requirements on
a continuing  basis.  However,  if the  Company's  fiscal 2007 planned cash flow
projections  are not met,  management  could  consider the  reduction of certain
discretionary expenses and sale of certain assets. In the event that these plans
are not sufficient and the Company's  credit  facilities are not available,  the
Company's ability to operate could be adversely affected.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

      The  Company's  discussion  and analysis of its  financial  condition  and
results of  operations  are based upon its  consolidated  financial  statements,
which have been  prepared in accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted  in the  United  States  of  America.  Preparation  of these  financial
statements  requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported  amounts of assets,  liabilities,  revenues and  expenses,  and related
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities.  On an on-going  basis,  the
Company  evaluates  its  estimates,   including  those  related  to  bad  debts,
inventories,  long-lived assets,  intangibles,  income taxes, pensions and other
post-retirement benefits, and contingencies and litigation.  Estimates are based
on historical  experience,  future cash flows and various other assumptions that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
the  basis  for  making  judgments  about the  carrying  values  of  assets  and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.

      Financial  Reporting  Release No. 60 requires  all  companies to include a
discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of
financial statements. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements,  included
elsewhere in this Form 10-K,  includes a summary of the  significant  accounting
policies  and  methods  used  in  the  preparation  of the  Company's  financial
statements.  The  following is a brief  discussion  of the  critical  accounting
policies and methods used by the Company.

INVENTORIES

      H&H  holds   precious   metal   positions   that  are  subject  to  market
fluctuations.  The precious metal  inventory is included in inventory  using the
last-in,  first-out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation,  which is equal to the
lower of cost or market  with any  adjustments  recorded  through  cost of goods
sold. For precious metals inventories,  no segregation among raw materials, work
in process and finished goods is practicable.

      Non-precious   metal   inventories   are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost
(principally average cost) or market.  Non-precious metal inventory is evaluated
for estimated excess and obsolescence based upon assumptions about future demand
and market conditions and is adjusted  accordingly.  If actual market conditions
are less favorable than those projected by H&H, write-downs may be required.

DERIVATIVES

      H&H enters into  commodity  futures  and  forwards  contracts  on precious
metals that are subject to market  fluctuations in order to  economically  hedge
its precious metals  inventory  against price  fluctuations.  Future and forward
contracts  to sell or buy  precious  metal  are the  derivatives  used  for this
objective.  The  Company  also  economically  hedges its  exposure  on  variable
interest rate debt at one of its foreign subsidiaries.  As these derivatives are
not  designated as accounting  hedges under SFAS No. 133, they are accounted for
as derivatives with no hedge designation. These derivatives are marked to market
and both  realized  and  unrealized  gains and losses on these  derivatives  are
recorded in current  period  earnings as other income  (loss) in the case of the
precious  metal  contracts and in interest  expense with respect to the interest
rate  derivative.  The  unrealized  gain  or loss  (open  trade  equity)  on the
derivatives is included in other current assets or other current liabilities.

      As of December  31, 2006 and 2005,  the Company had  contracted  for $17.3
million and $17.1 million,  respectively,  of forward contracts with a AA- rated
counter party, and the future contracts are exchange traded contracts  through a
third  party  broker.  Accordingly,  the Company  has  determined  that there is
minimal  credit risk of default.  The  Company  estimates  the fair value of its
derivative  contracts  through use of market  quotes or broker  valuations  when
market information is not available.

GOODWILL, OTHER INTANGIBLES AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      The Company  adopted the  provisions of SFAS No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other
Intangible  Assets,"  effective  January 1, 2002.  As a result,  goodwill  is no
longer amortized,  but instead is reviewed annually for impairment in accordance
with the provisions of this statement.  The evaluation of the  recoverability of
the  unamortized  balance of goodwill is based on a comparison of the respective
reporting unit's fair value to its carrying value, including allocated goodwill.
Fair values are  determined  by  discounting  estimated  future cash flows.  The
recoverability  of goodwill may be impacted if estimated  future  operating cash
flows are not  achieved.  Other  intangible  assets  with  indefinite  lives are
subjected to a lower of cost or market  impairment test.  Purchased  patents are
stated at cost,  which is amortized over the respective  remaining  lives of the
patents.  Other  intangible  assets with finite lives are  amortized  over their
estimated useful lives.

PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS

      The  Company   and   subsidiaries   maintain  a   qualified   and  several
non-qualified  pension plans and other  postretirement  benefit  plans  covering
substantially  all of its  employees.  Pension  benefits  for  the  WHX  and H&H
participants  included in the WHX Pension Plan are based on years of service and
the amount of  compensation  at the time of retirement.  However,  the qualified
pension  benefits were frozen for most  participants as of December 31, 2005 and
April  30,   2006  for  hourly   and   salaried   non-bargaining   participants,
respectively, with the exception of a single subsidiary.

      On March 4, 2005, WHX adopted the WHX Corporation  Supplemental  Executive
Retirement Plan ("WHX SERP"),  effective as of February 1, 2004,  which provides
for  specified  benefits  to be paid to certain of its  employees.  All WHX SERP
benefits were settled as of August 5, 2005,  in accordance  with FAS 88 and this
plan was terminated on December 29, 2005. In addition to the  aforementioned WHX
SERP, H&H also has a non-qualified  pension plan for certain current and retired
employees.  Such plan adopted an amendment  effective January 1, 2006, to freeze
benefits under this plan.

      Certain current and retired employees of H&H are covered by postretirement
medical benefit plans.  The benefits  provided are for medical and  prescription
drugs.  Contributions  from a majority of the  participants are required and for
those retirees and spouses, the Company's payments are capped.

      The Company's pension and postretirement  benefit costs are developed from
actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions including
discount rates and expected  long-term rates of return on plan assets.  Material
changes in the Company's pension and  postretirement  benefit costs may occur in
the future due to  changes in these  assumptions,  changes in the number of plan
participants, changes in the level of benefits provided, changes to the level of
contributions to these plans and other factors.

      The  Company  determines  its  actuarial  assumptions  for its pension and
postretirement  plans, after consultation with its actuaries,  on December 31 of
each year to  calculate  liability  information  as of that date and pension and
postretirement  expense for the following  year. The discount rate assumption is
derived from the rate of return on high quality  bonds as of December 31 of each
year.

      The  Plan's  assets  are  diversified  as to  type of  assets,  investment
strategies  employed,  and number of investment  managers used.  Investments may
include equities,  fixed income, cash equivalents,  convertible securities,  and
hedge funds.  Derivatives  may be used as part of the investment  strategy.  The
Company may direct the transfer of assets between  investment  managers in order
to  rebalance  the  portfolio in  accordance  with asset  allocation  guidelines
established by the Company.

      Management  with  the  advice  of its  actuaries  uses  judgment  to  make
assumptions on which our employee  benefit  liabilities  and expenses are based.
The effect of a 1% change in two key  assumptions  for the WHX  Pension  Plan is
summarized as follows:

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

      The  Company  provides  for  remediation  costs  and  penalties  when  the
responsibility  to remediate is probable and the amount of  associated  costs is
reasonably determinable.  Remediation liabilities are accrued based on estimates
of known environmental exposures. The Company regularly monitors the progress of
environmental remediation.  Should studies indicate that the cost of remediation
is to be more than previously estimated, an additional accrual would be recorded
in the period in which such  determination  was made.  As of December  31, 2006,
total accruals for environmental remediation were $9.4 million.

LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

       The  Company  provides  for legal  contingencies  when the  liability  is
probable and the amount of the associated costs is reasonably determinable.  The
Company regularly  monitors the progress of legal  contingencies and revises the
amounts recorded in the period in which changes in estimate occur.

GOING CONCERN

      The  Company  forecasts  cash  availability  under  its  revolving  credit
facility considering  historical and forecast results in order to determine that
it can  reasonably  meet its  obligations  as they come due over the next  year.
Additionally,  the Company forecasts its compliance with the financial covenants
of its loan  agreements to reasonably  determine that it will meet them over the
next year and will not need to restructure its debt.

PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

      The Company records assets and liabilities of acquired  companies at their
fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 141 "Business  Combinations." In December
2006,  a  subsidiary  of  H&H  acquired  certain  assets  and  liabilities  of a
mechanical roofing fastener business. The fair value of inventory was determined
using the cost method for raw  materials  and the  comparative  sales method for
work in process and  finished  goods.  Fixed  assets were valued  using the cost
method. The fair value of intangible assets was determined using discounted cash
flow methodologies.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      In  February  2007,  the FASB issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 159,  "The Fair Value Option for  Financial  Assets and Financial
Liabilities"  (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure
many financial  instruments and certain other items at fair value.  SFAS No. 159
is effective for financial  statements  issued for fiscal years  beginning after
November 15, 2007.  The Company is currently  evaluating  the impact of adopting
SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.


                                       37


      On September 29, 2006 , the FASB issued Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 158, "Employers'  Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement  Plans"  (SFAS No. 158) which amends SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 106
to require  recognition of the  overfunded or underfunded  status of pension and
other  postretirement  benefit plans on the balance  sheet.  Under SFAS No. 158,
gains and losses,  prior service costs and credits, and any remaining transition
amounts  under  SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No.  106 that have not yet been  recognized
through net  periodic  benefit  cost will be  recognized  in  accumulated  other
comprehensive  income,  net  of tax  effects,  until  they  are  amortized  as a
component of net periodic  cost.  SFAS No. 158 is  effective  for  publicly-held
companies  for fiscal  years ending after  December  15, 2006.  WHX  Corporation
adopted the balance sheet recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 at December 31,
2006.  At that date,  our balance  sheet  reflected a reduction  in  shareholder
equity of  approximately  $49.3 million due to our defined  benefit  pension and
other postretirement  benefit plans. The new provisions of SFAS No. 158 resulted
in an  additional  $1.2  million  reduction to WHX  Corporation's  shareholders'
equity at  December  31,  2006.  The  Statement  does not affect the  results of
operations.

      In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,
"Considering   the  Effects  of  Prior  Year   Misstatements   when  Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 108"). SAB No. 108
was issued in order to  eliminate  the  diversity  of practice  surrounding  how
public  companies  quantify  financial  statement  misstatements.   It  requires
quantification of financial statement  misstatements based on the effects of the
misstatements  on  each  of  the  company's  financial  statements  and  related
financial statement  disclosures.  The provisions of SAB No. 108 must be applied
to annual financial statements no later than the fiscal year ending November 15,
2006.  The  Company  has  determined  that SAB No.  108 does not have a material
impact on its financial statements.

      In September  2006, the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Standards No.
157, "Fair Value  Measurements" (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance  with  accounting
principles  generally  accepted in the United  States,  and expands  disclosures
about fair value  measurements.  This  statement  does not  require any new fair
value  measurements;  rather,  it applies under other accounting  pronouncements
that require or permit fair value  measurements.  The provisions of SFAS No. 157
are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is
currently  evaluating  the impact of adopting  SFAS No. 157 on its  consolidated
financial position and results of operations.

      In June  2006,  the  FASB  issued  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
Interpretation   No.  48,  "Accounting  for  Uncertainty  in  Income  Taxes,  an
Interpretation  of SFAS  Statement  109"  (FIN  No.  48),  which  clarifies  the
accounting for uncertainty in tax positions.  This Interpretation  provides that
the  tax  effects  from an  uncertain  tax  position  can be  recognized  in the
financial  statements,  only if the  position  is more  likely than not of being
sustained  on  audit,  based  on  the  technical  merits  of the  position.  The
provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2007,  with
the  cumulative  effect of the change in  accounting  principle  recorded  as an
adjustment  to  opening  retained  earnings.  The  Company  does not  expect the
adoption of FIN No. 48 to have a material impact on its  consolidated  financial
position or results of operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

COMMODITY PRICE RISK AND RELATED RISKS

      In the normal  course of business,  H&H is exposed to market risk or price
fluctuation  related to the  purchase  of  natural  gas,  electricity,  precious
metals, steel products and certain non-ferrous metals used as raw material.  H&H
is also  exposed  to the  effects  of  price  fluctuations  on the  value of its
commodity inventories, specifically, H&H's precious metals inventories.

      H&H's market risk strategy has generally been to obtain competitive prices
for its  products and services  and allow  operating  results to reflect  market
price movements dictated by supply and demand.

      H&H enters into  commodity  futures  and  forwards  contracts  on precious
metals that are subject to market  fluctuations in order to  economically  hedge
its precious metals  inventory  against price  fluctuations.  Future and forward
contracts  to sell or buy  precious  metal  are the  derivatives  used  for this
objective.  As these  derivatives are not designated as accounting  hedges under
SFAS No. 133, they are accounted for as derivatives  with no hedge  designation.
These  derivatives  are marked to market and both realized and unrealized  gains
and losses on these derivatives are recorded in current period earnings as other
income  (loss).  The  unrealized  gain  or  loss  (open  trade  equity)  on  the
derivatives is included in other current assets or other current liabilities.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

      H&H is subject to the risk of price  fluctuations  related to  anticipated
revenues and operating  costs,  firm  commitments for capital  expenditures  and
existing  assets  or  liabilities  denominated  in  currencies  other  than U.S.
dollars. H&H has not generally used derivative instruments to manage this risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK

      Fair  value  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents,   receivables,   short-term
borrowings,  accounts payable, accrued interest and variable-rate long-term debt
approximate  their carrying values and are relatively  insensitive to changes in
interest rates due to the short-term maturity of the instruments or the variable
nature of underlying interest rates.

      At  December  31,  2006 and  2005,  the  Company's  portfolio  of debt was
comprised of primarily variable rate instruments. Accordingly, the fair value of
such  instruments  may be  relatively  sensitive  to  effects of  interest  rate
fluctuations.  In addition,  the fair value of such instruments is also affected
by investors'  assessments of the risks  associated with industries in which the
Company operates as well as the Company's overall  creditworthiness  and ability
to satisfy such obligations upon their maturity. The Company economically hedges
its exposure on variable interest rate debt at one of its foreign subsidiaries.

      A reduction  in long-term  interest  rates could  materially  increase the
Company's cash funding obligations to the WHX Pension Plan.

SAFE HARBOR

      The Company's  quantitative and qualitative  disclosures about market risk
include  forward-looking  statements with respect to management's  opinion about
the risk associated with the Company's financial  instruments.  These statements
are based on certain  assumptions with respect to market prices,  interest rates
and other  industry-specific risk factors. To the extent these assumptions prove
to be inaccurate,  future  outcomes may differ  materially  from those discussed
above.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders
WHX Corporation

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheet of WHX Corporation
and  Subsidiaries  as  of  December  31,  2006,  and  the  related  consolidated
statements  of  operations,  cash flows and changes in  stockholders'  (deficit)
equity  and  comprehensive   income  (loss)  for  the  year  then  ended.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted  our audit in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting.  Our audit included  consideration of internal
control over financial  reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the  circumstances,  but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the  effectiveness  of the Company's  internal control over financial
reporting.  Accordingly,  we express  no such  opinion.  An audit also  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial   statements,   assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position of WHX Corporation and
Subsidiaries  as of December 31, 2006,  and the results of their  operations and
their  cash  flows  for the  year  then  ended  in  conformity  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 7 to the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the Company
changed its method of accounting for pension and post retirement  obligations as
of December 31, 2006, in connection  with the adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 158 "Employers'  Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106,
and 132(R)".

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of WHX Corporation:

      In our  opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet  and the
related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  cash  flows and  changes  in
stockholders'  (deficit) equity and comprehensive  income (loss) present fairly,
in all material  respects,  the financial  position of WHX  Corporation  and its
subsidiaries  (the  "Company")  at December 31,  2005,  and the results of their
operations  and their cash  flows for each of the two years in the period  ended
December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting  principles  generally accepted
in  the  United  States  of  America.   These   financial   statements  are  the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our audits.  We conducted  our
audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with the  standards  of the  Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance about whether the
financial  statements  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial  statements,  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used and the
significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

      As discussed in Note 1b to the  consolidated  financials  statements as of
December 31, 2005  included in the annual report on Form 10-k for the year ended
December  31,  2005,  the  2003  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
restated.

      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going  concern.  As more fully  described in Notes 1a
and 2 to the consolidated  financial statements as of December 31, 2005 included
in the annual  report on Form 10-k for the year ended  December  31,  2005,  WHX
Corporation  ("WHX") had their plan of  reorganization  (the "Plan") approved by
the bankruptcy court and emerged from bankruptcy  effective,  July 29, 2005. The
Plan resulted in the discharge of all pre-bankruptcy  claims against WHX, except
for its liability to its pension plan, and substantially  altered the rights and
interests  of equity  security  holders.  WHX is a holding  company with no bank
facility of its own and since  emerging  from  bankruptcy  has not had access to
dividends  from  its  only  operating   subsidiary,   Handy  &  Harman  ("H&H").
Additionally,  H&H's  credit  facility  matures  on March 31,  2007 and has also
experienced  certain liquidity issues, as more fully described in Note 1a to the
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005 included in the annual
report  on Form  10-k for the  year  ended  December  31,  2005.  WHX has as its
principal source of cash limited  discrete  transactions as described in Note 1a
and has significant cash  requirements  including the funding of the WHX Pension
Plan and certain other  administrative  costs. If WHX does not obtain additional
liquidity,  it is likely that WHX will not have  sufficient  cash to continue to
operate  through 2007 and pay its  liabilities  as they become due in the normal
course of business. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going  concern.  Management's  plans in regard to these
matters are also  described in Note 1a. The financial  statements do not include
any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification  of assets or the amounts and  classification of liabilities that
may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

ORGANIZATION

      WHX  Corporation is a holding  company that invests in and manages a group
of businesses that are managed on a decentralized  basis. WHX's primary business
is Handy & Harman ("H&H"), a diversified  manufacturing  company whose strategic
business units encompass three reportable segments: precious metals, tubing, and
engineered  materials.  WHX Corporation,  together with all of its subsidiaries,
are referred to herein as the  "Company."  In April 2007,  WHX acquired  Bairnco
Corporation ("Bairnco"). See Note 21 - Subsequent Event.

      On March 7, 2005, WHX  Corporation,  the parent company  ("WHX"),  filed a
voluntary petition  ("Bankruptcy  Filing") to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the
United States  Bankruptcy Code with the United States  Bankruptcy  Court for the
Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). WHX continued to operate
its businesses and own and manage its properties as a debtor-in-possession under
the  jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy  Court and in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code until it emerged from protection under Chapter
11 on July 29, 2005 (the "Effective Date").

NOTE 1A - MANAGEMENT'S PLANS AND LIQUIDITY

      The Company incurred net losses of $18.2 million, $34.7 million and $140.4
million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004,  respectively  and
had negative cash flows from operations of $18.8 million, $5.0 million and $39.6
million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.  As
of December 31, 2006, the Company had an  accumulated  deficit of $412.1 million
and a working capital deficit of $1.6 million. Additionally, the Company has not
been in compliance  with certain of its bank  covenants and has been required to
obtain a number of waivers from its lenders related to such covenants.

      On March 7, 2005, the parent company ("WHX"),  filed a voluntary  petition
to  reorganize  under  Chapter  11 of the United  States  Bankruptcy  Code.  WHX
continued  to operate  its  businesses  and own and manage its  properties  as a
debtor-in-possession  under the  jurisdiction  of the bankruptcy  court until it
emerged from  protection  under  Chapter 11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code on July 29,
2005. (See Note 3).

      Throughout  2005 and 2006,  the  Company has been  experiencing  liquidity
issues.  WHX is a  holding  company  and has as its  sole  source  of cash  flow
distributions  from its operating  subsidiaries,  H&H and Bairnco (see Note 21 -
Subsequent Event), or other discrete transactions.  H&H's bank credit facilities
and term loan  effectively do not permit it to transfer any cash or other assets
to WHX,  (with the  exception  of  unsecured  loans to be used to make  required
contributions  to the pension plan,  and for other uses of an unsecured  loan in
the  aggregate  principal  amount  not to  exceed  $3.5  million  under  certain
conditions),  and are  collateralized  by  substantially  all of  H&H's  assets.
Bairnco's  revolving credit facility ("Bairnco  Revolving Credit Facility") with
Bank of America,  N.A. ("Bank of America")  permits  distributions by Bairnco to
WHX under  certain  conditions,  as described in Note 21. WHX has no bank credit
facility of its own. WHX's ongoing operating cash flow  requirements  consist of
funding  the  minimum  requirements  of the WHX  Pension  Plan and paying  other
administrative costs.

      Since  emerging from  bankruptcy,  due to covenant  restrictions  in H&H's
credit  facilities,  there  have  been no  dividends  from H&H to WHX and  WHX's
sources of cash flow have consisted of:

            o     The  issuance of $5.1  million in  preferred  stock by a newly
                  created  subsidiary (WHX CS Corp.) in October 2005,  which was
                  invested   in  the   equity  of  a  public   company   (Cosine
                  Communications Inc.); and

            o     partial  payment of the H&H  subordinated  debt to WHX of $9.0
                  million,   which   required   the   approval   of  the   banks
                  participating  in the H&H bank  facility.  Subsequent  to this
                  transaction in 2006, the remaining  intercompany  loan balance
                  of the  subordinated  debt of $44.2  million was  converted to
                  equity.

            o     As permitted by the March 29, 2007 Amendment and Waiver to the
                  Loan and Security  Agreements,  an unsecured loan from H&H for
                  required  payments to the pension plan,  and for other uses of
                  an unsecured  loan in the  aggregate  principal  amount not to
                  exceed $3.5 million under certain conditions.


                                       46


            o     A $15.0  million  subordinated  loan from Steel  pursuant to a
                  Subordinated  Loan and  Security  Agreement  between  WHX,  as
                  borrower,  and Steel,  as lender.  WHX used the $15.0  million
                  proceeds of the subordinated loan as a capital contribution to
                  acquire Bairnco.

      As of December 31, 2006, WHX and its unrestricted subsidiaries had cash of
approximately  $0.8  million  and  current  liabilities  of  approximately  $7.5
million,  including  $5.1 million of  mandatorily  redeemable  preferred  shares
payable  to a related  party.  H&H's  availability  under its  revolving  credit
facility and other  facilities  as of December 31, 2006 was $19.1 million and as
of March 31,  2007,  was  approximately  $15.5  million..  All such  facilities,
including  the term  loans,  were set to expire in March 31, 2007  (although  by
amendment signed on March 29, 2007, were extended until June 30, 2008).

      In  connection  with the  closing of the  Bairnco  Offer and the Merger on
April 24, 2007 (see Note 21),  Bairnco became a wholly-owned  subsidiary of WHX.
Initial  financing  was provided by Steel through two  facilities,  as discussed
below, in the approximate  aggregate amount of $101.5 million. In addition,  the
Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility  was  amended to permit the  closing of the
Merger and related financing  transactions.  The availability  under the Bairnco
Revolving Credit Facility on March 31, 2007 was approximately $12.0 million. The
Bairnco Revolving Credit Facility permits  distributions by Bairnco to WHX under
certain conditions, as described in Note 21.

      The Company  has  significant  cash flow  obligations,  including  without
limitation  the  amounts  due for the WHX  Pension  Plan (as amended by the PBGC
Settlement  Agreement)  (See Note 7 regarding the Company's  pension and benefit
plans).  There can be no assurance that the funds  available from operations and
under  its  credit  facilities  will  be  sufficient  to  fund  pension  funding
requirements,  debt service costs,  working  capital  demands and  environmental
remediation costs. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to obtain  replacement  financing at commercially  reasonable terms upon
the expiration of the H&H and Bairnco credit facilities in June 2008.

      As  discussed  further  below,  the Company  believes  that recent new and
amended  financing  arrangements,  acquisitions,  the IRS  Waiver  and the  PBGC
Settlement  Agreement,  the sale of a  non-essential  operating unit, as well as
recent improvements in its core operations,  and the substantial completion of a
major  remediation  of property  relating to certain  environmental  liabilities
should  permit the Company to generate  sufficient  working  capital to meet its
obligations  as they  mature  over the next  twelve  months.  The ability of the
Company to meet its cash  requirements  over this time period is  dependent,  in
part, on the Company's  ability to meet its business plan.  Management  believes
that  existing  capital  resources  and  sources  of credit,  including  the H&H
facilities  and the  Bairnco  facilities,  are  adequate to meet its current and
anticipated cash requirements.  The Company also continues to examine all of its
options  and  strategies,   including  acquisitions,   divestitures,  and  other
corporate transactions, to increase cash flow and stockholder value. However, if
the Company's  cash needs are greater than  anticipated  or the Company does not
materially  satisfy  its  business  plan,  the  Company  may be required to seek
additional or alternative financing sources. There can be no assurance that such
financing will be available or available on terms acceptable to the Company.

      As  more  fully  described  in  the  specific  notes  to  these  financial
statements,  the Company has taken the following  actions which it believes will
improve liquidity and help provide for adequate  liquidity to fund the Company's
capital needs for the next twelve months.

  o   On December 20, 2006,  the IRS granted a  conditional  waiver of the $15.5
      million minimum funding  requirement for the WHX Pension Plan for the 2005
      plan year and on December  28, 2006,  WHX,  H&H, and the PBGC entered into
      the PBGC  Settlement  Agreement  in  connection  with the IRS  Waiver  and
      certain other matters.  As a result of the PBGC  Settlement  Agreement and
      the IRS Waiver, based on estimates from WHX's actuary, the Company expects
      its  minimum  funding  requirement  for the  specific  plan  year  and the
      amortization of the 2005  requirement to be $13.1 million (paid in full in
      2006), $10.8 million,  $11.0 million,  $8.9 million, $7.0 million and $2.3
      million  (which  amounts   reflect  the  recent  passage  of  the  Pension
      Protection  Act of  2006) in  2006,  2007,  2008,  2009,  2010  and  2011,
      respectively.

  o   Availability  under H&H's Loan and Security  Agreements'  revolving credit
      facility as of December  31, 2006 was $19.1  million,  and as of March 31,
      2007,  was  approximately  $15.5  million.  On March  29,  2007,  all such
      facilities, including the term loans, were amended to (i) redefine EBITDA,
      (ii) reset the levels and amend certain of the financial covenants,  (iii)
      extend the termination  date of the credit  facilities from March 31, 2007
      to June 30, 2008,  (iv) permit the extension by H&H to WHX of an unsecured
      loan for required payments to the pension plan, under certain  conditions,
      and (v) permit the extension by H&H to WHX of an unsecured  loan for other
      uses in the  aggregate  principal  amount not to exceed $3.5 million under
      certain conditions.


                                       47



  o   Following  the closing of the Bairnco  Merger,  upon the  satisfaction  of
      certain conditions,  Bairnco is permitted to make distributions to WHX. As
      of March  31,  2007,  availability  under  the  Bairnco  Revolving  Credit
      Facility was approximately  $12.0 million,  although there is no assurance
      that such amount will be available in the future,  or if  available,  that
      Bairnco will satisfy the conditions for distributing this amount to WHX.

  o   The  acquisition by a subsidiary of H&H of a mechanical  roofing  fastener
      business  for  approximately  $26  million,  including  a working  capital
      adjustment,  on December  28,  2006,  which we believe  will prove to be a
      valuable  acquisition  which will  solidify  H&H's  position  as a leading
      manufacturer  and  supplier  of  mechanical  fasteners,   accessories  and
      components,  and building  products for the North American  commercial and
      residential construction industry.

  o   The  sale in  March  2007  of a  non-core  business  which  had  generated
      operating losses in the past year.

  o   The substantial  completion of remediation of property relating to certain
      environmental liabilities.

      In view of the matters described in the preceding  paragraphs,  management
believes that the Company has the ability to meet its financing  requirements on
a continuing  basis.  However,  if the  Company's  fiscal 2007 planned cash flow
projections  are not met,  management  could  consider the  reduction of certain
discretionary expenses and sale of certain assets. In the event that these plans
are not sufficient and the Company's  credit  facilities are not available,  the
Company's ability to operate could be adversely affected.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of WHX and its
subsidiaries.  All material  intercompany  transactions  and balances  have been
eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES

      The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements.  Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On an ongoing  basis,  the Company  evaluates  its  estimates,  including  those
related  to  investments,   accounts  receivable,   inventories,   property  and
equipment, assets held for sale, environmental liabilities and income taxes. The
Company  bases its  estimates  on  historical  experience  and on various  other
assumptions  that are believed to be  reasonable  under the  circumstances,  the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

      Cash and cash  equivalents  include cash on hand and on deposit and highly
liquid debt instruments with original  maturities of three months or less. As of
December 31, 2006 and 2005,  the Company had cash held in foreign  banks of $3.2
million and $1.1 million, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

      Revenues  from product  sales are  recognized  when the related goods have
been  shipped  and the title and risk of loss has  passed  to the  customer.  An
allowance is provided for estimated returns and discounts based on experience in
accordance  with SEC Staff  Accounting  Bulletin No. 104.  Cash  received by the
Company  prior  to  shipment  is  recorded  as  deferred  revenue.  The  Company
experiences  a  certain  degree of sales  returns  that  varies  over  time.  In
accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 48 ("FAS No.
48"), "Revenue  Recognition When Right of Return Exists," the Company is able to
make a reasonable estimation of expected sales returns based upon history and as
contemplated by the requirements of FAS No. 48. The Company records all shipping
and handling  fees billed to customers as revenue,  and related costs as cost of
sales,  when  incurred,  in accordance  with  Emerging  Issues Task Force "EITF"
Abstract 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs."


                                       48



ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

      The Company  extends  credit to customers  based on its  evaluation of the
customer's  financial  condition.  The Company has  established an allowance for
accounts that may become  uncollectible in the future.  This estimated allowance
is based primarily on management's  evaluation of the financial condition of the
customer and historical experience. The Company monitors its accounts receivable
and  charges to expense an amount  equal to its  estimate  of  potential  credit
losses.   Accounts   outstanding  longer  than  contractual  payment  terms  are
considered  past due. The Company  considers a number of factors in  determining
its estimates,  including the length of time its trade  accounts  receivable are
past due, the Company's previous loss history and the customer's current ability
to pay its obligation.  Accounts receivable balances are charged off against the
allowance when it is determined that the receivable  will not be recovered,  and
payments  subsequently  received on such receivables are credited to recovery of
accounts  written  off.  The  Company  does  not  charge  interest  on past  due
receivables.

INVENTORIES

      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined
by the  last-in  first-out  ("LIFO")  method  for  precious  metal  inventories.
Non-precious  metals  inventories  are stated at the lower of cost  (principally
average cost) or market. For precious metals  inventories,  no segregation among
raw materials, work in process and finished goods is practicable.

DERIVATIVES

      H&H enters into  commodity  futures  and  forwards  contracts  on precious
metals that are subject to market  fluctuations in order to  economically  hedge
its precious metals  inventory  against price  fluctuations.  Future and forward
contracts  to sell or buy  precious  metal  are the  derivatives  used  for this
objective.  The  Company  also  economically  hedges its  exposure  on  variable
interest rate debt at one of its foreign subsidiaries.  As these derivatives are
not  designated as  accounting  hedges under  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133, they are accounted for as derivatives with no hedge
designation.  These  derivatives  are  marked to market  and both  realized  and
unrealized gains and losses on these  derivatives are recorded in current period
earnings as other income (loss) in the case of the precious metal  contracts and
in interest expense with respect to the interest rate derivative. The unrealized
gain or loss (open trade equity) on the derivatives is included in other current
assets or other current liabilities.

      As of December  31, 2006 and 2005,  the Company had  contracted  for $17.3
million and $17.1 million,  respectively,  of forward contracts with a AA- rated
counter party, and the future contracts are exchange traded contracts  through a
third  party  broker.  Accordingly,  the Company  has  determined  that there is
minimal  credit risk of default.  The  Company  estimates  the fair value of its
derivative  contracts  through use of market  quotes or broker  valuations  when
market information is not available.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

      Depreciation of property,  plant and equipment is provided  principally on
the  straight-line  method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,  which
range  as  follows:  machinery  &  equipment  3 - 10  years  and  buildings  and
improvements 10 - 30 years.  Interest cost is capitalized for qualifying  assets
during the assets'  acquisition  period.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense  and  renewals  and  betterments  are  capitalized.  Profit  or  loss on
dispositions is credited or charged to operating income.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

      The Company  adopted the  provisions of SFAS No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other
Intangible  Assets,"  effective  January 1, 2002.  As a result,  goodwill  is no
longer amortized,  but instead is reviewed annually for impairment in accordance
with the provisions of this statement.  The evaluation of the  recoverability of
the  unamortized  balance of goodwill is based on a comparison of the respective
reporting unit's fair value to its carrying value, including allocated goodwill.
Fair values are  determined  by  discounting  estimated  future cash flows.  The
recoverability  of goodwill may be impacted if estimated  future  operating cash
flows are not  achieved.  Other  intangible  assets  with  indefinite  lives are
subjected to a lower of cost or market  impairment test.  Purchased  patents are
stated at cost,  which is amortized over the respective  remaining  lives of the
patents.  Other  intangible  assets with finite lives are  amortized  over their
estimated useful lives.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS

      Investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting if the
investment provides the Company the ability to exercise  significant  influence,
but not control, over an investee.  Significant influence is generally deemed to
exist if the  company  has an  ownership  interest  in the  voting  stock of the
investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors,  such as representation
on the investee's Board of Directors,  are considered in determining whether the
equity  method of  accounting  is  appropriate.  The  Company  accounts  for its
investment in Cosine Communications, Inc. using the equity method of accounting.
See Note 17.


                                       49


STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

      In 2006,  revised  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 123,
"Share-Based  Payment" ("SFAS No. 123") became  effective for the Company.  SFAS
No. 123 eliminated  the intrinsic  value method as an allowed method for valuing
stock  options   granted  to  employees.   Under  the  intrinsic  value  method,
compensation  expense was  generally  not  recognized  for the issuance of stock
options. The revised statement requires compensation expense to be recognized in
exchange  for the  services  received  based  on the fair  value  of the  equity
instruments on the grant-date.  This statement did not have a material impact on
the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

      As of December 31, 2006 and 2005,  the Company had no stock option  plans.
However,  the Company has agreed to grant stock options upon adoption of a stock
option plan by the Board of Directors and registration  thereof with the SEC, or
in lieu thereof, phantom stock options or equivalent other consideration (at the
sole  discretion  of the  Company),  to various  officers  and  employees of the
Company.  At December  31, 2004 the  Company  had six  stock-based  compensation
plans,  which are more fully described in Note 15. These plans were cancelled in
conjunction  with WHX's  emergence  from  bankruptcy  in July 2005.  The Company
accounted for these plans under the recognition  and  measurement  principles of
Accounting  Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," and related interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost for
the  issuance of stock  options  was  reflected  in net  income,  as all options
granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the
underlying common stock on the date of the option grant.

      In 2003, the Company  awarded 80,000 shares of restricted  common stock to
members of the Board of  Directors  at a fair  market  value of $2.48 per share.
These shares vested 1/3 immediately and 1/3 each year thereafter over a two-year
period  and was  recorded  as a  separate  component  of  Stockholders'  Equity.
Compensation  expense related to restricted stock awards was recognized over the
vesting period (through part of 2005).

      The following table  illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per
share if WHX had applied the fair-value  recognition  provisions of SFAS No. 123
to stock-based employee compensation in 2005 and 2004:

                                                         2005            2004

Pro forma net income (loss)                           $ 219,564       $(160,275)
                                                      =========       =========

Income (loss) per share:
     Basic and diluted - as reported                  $   30.36       $  (29.38)
     Basic and diluted - Pro forma                    $   30.36       $  (29.45)

      The  pro-forma  amounts  and the  fair  value  of each  option  grant  are
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The
following   weighted-average   assumptions   were  used  in  the   Black-Scholes
calculation:  expected volatility of 104.2% in 2004,  risk-free interest rate of
3.4% in 2004, and expected life of 5 years and a dividend yield of zero.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

      The Company accrues for losses associated with  environmental  remediation
obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Accruals for
estimated  losses  from  environmental  remediation  obligations  generally  are
recognized no later than completion of the remedial feasibility study.

      Such   accruals   are   adjusted  as  further   information   develops  or
circumstances change. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation
obligations   are  not  discounted  to  their  present   value.   Recoveries  of
environmental  remediation  costs from other parties are recorded as assets when
their receipt is deemed probable.

INCOME TAXES

      Income taxes are provided using the asset and liability  method  presented
by SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting  for Income Taxes"  ("SFAS No.  109").  Under this
method, income taxes (i.e., deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, taxes
currently  payable/refunds  receivable  and tax expense)  are recorded  based on
amounts refundable or payable in the current year and include the results of any
differences  between U.S. GAAP and tax reporting.  Deferred income taxes reflect
the tax effect of net operating loss  carryforwards,  capital loss carryforwards
and the net tax effects of temporary  differences between the carrying amount of
assets and  liabilities  for financial  reporting  and income tax  purposes,  as
determined  under  enacted  tax  laws  and  rates.   Valuation   allowances  are
established when management determines that it is more likely than not that some
portion or the entire  deferred  tax asset will not be realized.  The  financial
effect  of  changes  in tax laws or  rates is  accounted  for in the  period  of
enactment.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Pursuant to SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings per Share," basic  earnings per share
are based on the weighted  average number of shares of Common Stock  outstanding
during each year, excluding redeemable common shares. Diluted earnings per share
gives effect to dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

      Assets and  liabilities of foreign  subsidiaries  have been  translated at
current  exchange rates,  and related revenues and expenses have been translated
at average  rates of exchange in effect  during the year.  Resulting  cumulative
translation   adjustments  have  been  recorded  as  a  separate   component  of
accumulated other comprehensive income.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      The carrying  values of cash and cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,
accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities  approximate  fair value due to the
short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

RECLASSIFICATION

      Certain  amounts for prior years have been  reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

NOTE 3 -VOLUNTARY PETITION UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF U.S. BANKRUPTCY CODE

      On March 7, 2005, WHX Corporation (the parent) filed a voluntary  petition
("Bankruptcy  Filing")  to  reorganize  under  Chapter 11 of the  United  States
Bankruptcy  Code  with the  United  States  Bankruptcy  Court  for the  Southern
District of New York (the  "Bankruptcy  Court").  WHX  continued  to operate its
businesses and own and manage its properties as a debtor-in-possession under the
jurisdiction  of the  Bankruptcy  Court and in  accordance  with the  applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code until it emerged from protection under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code on July 29, 2005.

      Neither  H&H  nor any of  WHX's  other  subsidiaries  or  affiliates  were
included in WHX's  Bankruptcy  Filing.  All of H&H's  operating  units conducted
business in the ordinary course during the bankruptcy.  WHX's Bankruptcy  Filing
was  primarily  intended to reduce WHX's debt,  simplify its capital  structure,
reduce its overall cost of capital and provide it with better  access to capital
markets.

      On March 7, 2005, WHX also filed a proposed Plan of  Reorganization of WHX
Corporation (as amended, the "Plan") and a related proposed disclosure statement
(as amended,  the "Disclosure  Statement") with the Bankruptcy Court. On June 7,
2005, WHX filed its first amended Chapter 11 Plan. On June 8, 2005 WHX filed its
second amended Disclosure Statement.

      On July 21, 2005, WHX Corporation's  Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization was
confirmed by the U. S. Bankruptcy  Court for the Southern  District of New York.
The Plan became effective on July 29, 2005 ("Effective Date").

      The  Bankruptcy  Filing  created an event of default  under the  Indenture
governing  WHX's 10 1/2% Senior Notes (the  "Senior  Notes") due April 15, 2005.
Under the terms of the Senior Notes, as a result of the Bankruptcy  Filing,  the
entire unpaid principal and accrued interest (and any other additional  amounts)
became immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the trustee
or the note holders.  The principal amount outstanding under the Senior Notes at
March 7, 2005 was approximately $92.8 million. Accrued interest to March 7, 2005
was approximately $3.8 million.


                                       51



      The  following is a summary of certain  material  features of the Plan and
the Confirmation Order. On the Effective Date:

      o     All of WHX's outstanding securities,  including WHX's pre-bankruptcy
            filing common stock,  Series A preferred  stock,  Series B preferred
            stock and 10 1/2% Senior  Notes were deemed  cancelled  and annulled
            without further act or action.

      o     In full and complete  satisfaction  of all such  claims,  holders of
            WHX's 10 1/2% Senior Notes received 9,200,000 shares of common stock
            representing their prorated share of the reorganized company.  These
            shares represent 92% of the equity in the reorganized company.

      o     In full and complete  satisfaction of all such  interests,  Series A
            preferred  stockholders  received  366,322  shares of  common  stock
            representing  their  prorated share of the  reorganized  company and
            344,658  warrants  to  purchase  common  stock  of  the  reorganized
            company,  exercisable  at $11.20 per share and  expiring on February
            28, 2008.

      o     In full and complete  satisfaction of all such  interests,  Series B
            preferred  stockholders  received  433,678  shares of  common  stock
            representing  their  prorated share of the  reorganized  company and
            408,030  warrants  to  purchase  common  stock  of  the  reorganized
            company,  exercisable  at $11.20 per share and  expiring on February
            28, 2008.

      o     Holders of WHX's  pre-bankruptcy  filing  common  stock  received no
            distribution under the Plan.

      The  common  stock  received  by  the  Series  A and  Series  B  preferred
stockholders,  collectively,  represents  8% of the  equity  in the  reorganized
company.   The  warrants   issued  to  the  Series  A  and  Series  B  preferred
stockholders,  collectively, represent the right to purchase an additional 7% of
the equity of the reorganized company after giving effect to the exercise of the
warrants.

      On the  Effective  Date,  all of the  assets  of WHX  were  vested  in the
reorganized  company  free and clear of all liens,  causes of  actions,  claims,
encumbrances,  equity interests,  and interests against,  in, or on such assets,
except  as  explicitly  provided  in the Plan.  Preferred  stock  dividends  and
interest on WHX's debt of $11.7  million  accrued from March 7, 2005 to July 29,
2005 were not included as a claim of the bankruptcy proceedings.

      The reorganization  value of the assets of WHX immediately before the date
of  confirmation  of the Plan was  greater  than the total of all  post-petition
liabilities  and  allowed  claims.  As a result the  Company did not qualify for
Fresh-Start  reporting in  accordance  with the American  Institute of Certified
Public Accountants  Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities
in  Reorganization  Under the  Bankruptcy  Code".  Accordingly,  the  assets and
liabilities of the reorganized company upon emergence from bankruptcy  continued
to be reported at their historical values.

      Upon its emergence from  bankruptcy on July 29, 2005,  WHX  experienced an
ownership  change as defined by Section 382 of the Internal  Revenue Code, which
imposes   annual   limitations   on  the   utilization  of  net  operating  loss
carryforwards  post ownership change.  The Company believes it qualifies for the
bankruptcy  exception  to  the  general  Section  382  limitations.  Under  this
exception,  the  annual  limitation  imposed by Section  382  resulting  from an
ownership change will not apply;  instead,  the net operating loss carryforwards
must  be  reduced  by  certain   interest  expense  paid  creditors  who  became
stockholders  as a result  of the  bankruptcy  reorganization.  Thus,  WHX's net
operating loss  carryforwards  of $116.0 million as of December 31, 2004 will be
reduced  by  approximately   $31.0  million  to  approximately   $85.0  million.
Additionally,  if WHX should undergo a second  ownership change within two years
of the date of change  as a result  of the  reorganization,  its  remaining  net
operating  losses  would  be  reduced  to zero.  Accordingly,  in order to avoid
subsequent  ownership  changes,  WHX's new charter contains a 5% ownership limit
pursuant to which certain transfers of WHX's shares will be limited.

      Since the  Effective  Date,  H&H and its  subsidiaries  have  continued to
conduct their businesses in the ordinary course.

NOTE 4 -RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In  February  2007,  the FASB issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 159,  "The Fair Value Option for  Financial  Assets and Financial
Liabilities"  (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure
many financial  instruments and certain other items at fair value.  SFAS No. 159
is effective for financial  statements  issued for fiscal years  beginning after
November 15, 2007.  The Company is currently  evaluating  the impact of adopting
SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

      On September 29, 2006, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans (SFAS No.158") which amends SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 106 to
require recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and other
postretirement benefit plans on the balance sheet. Under SFAS No. 158, gains and
losses,  prior service costs and credits,  and any remaining  transition amounts
under SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 106 that have not yet been recognized through net
periodic  benefit cost will be recognized  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income,  net of tax  effects,  until they are  amortized  as a component  of net
periodic cost. SFAS No. 158 is effective for publicly-held  companies for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2006. WHX Corporation  adopted the balance sheet
recognition  provisions of SFAS No. 158 at December 31, 2006. At that time,  our
balance sheet reflected a reduction in shareholder equity of approximately $49.3
million due to our defined  benefit  pension  and other  postretirement  benefit
plans. The new provisions of SFAS No. 158 resulted in an additional $1.2 million
reduction to WHX  Corporation's  shareholders'  equity at December 31, 2006. The
Statement does not affect the results of operations.


                                       52



      In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,
"Considering   the  Effects  of  Prior  Year   Misstatements   when  Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 108"). SAB No. 108
was issued in order to  eliminate  the  diversity  of practice  surrounding  how
public  companies  quantify  financial  statement  misstatements.   It  requires
quantification of financial statement  misstatements based on the effects of the
misstatements  on  each  of  the  company's  financial  statements  and  related
financial statement  disclosures.  The provisions of SAB No. 108 must be applied
to annual financial statements no later than the fiscal year ending November 15,
2006.  The  Company  has  determined  that SAB No.  108 does not have a material
impact on its financial statements.

      In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157; "Fair Value Measurements"
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,  establishes  a framework  for  measuring  fair
value in accordance with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States, and expands  disclosures about fair value  measurements.  This statement
does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies under other
accounting  pronouncements that require or permit fair value  measurements.  The
provisions  of SFAS No. 157 are  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after
November 15, 2007.  The Company is currently  evaluating  the impact of adopting
SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

      In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB  Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes" an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 ("FIN 48"),
which  clarifies  the  accounting  for   uncertainty  in  tax  positions.   This
Interpretation  provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can
be recognized in the financial  statements,  only if the position is more likely
than not of being  sustained  on  audit,  based on the  technical  merits of the
position.  The  provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of fiscal
2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting  principle recorded
as an adjustment to opening retained  earnings.  The Company does not expect the
adoption  of FIN 48 to have a  material  impact  on its  consolidated  financial
position or results of operations.

NOTE 5 - ASSET IMPAIRMENT,  DISCONTINUED  OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS  RESTRUCTURING
CHARGES

NORRISTOWN FACILITY

      On May 9, 2006,  the Company  announced  the closing of the Handy & Harman
Tube Co. ("HHT") located in Norristown,  Pennsylvania,  which is included in the
Company's  Tubing  segment.  The decision to close the  Norristown  facility was
principally  based on the economics of operating HHT's business at the facility.
HHT manufactured stainless steel tubing that was supplied in various lengths and
forms in both coil and straight  lengths.  HHT's coil  business was relocated to
H&H's Camdel Metals Corporation ("Camdel") facility located in Camden, Delaware.
HHT's  machinery  and  equipment and real property at the site are being offered
for sale.

      In  conjunction  with the decision to close the Norristown  facility,  the
Company  reviewed the  recoverability  of the  Norristown  long-lived  assets in
accordance  with  SFAS No.  144,  "Accounting  for  Impairment  or  Disposal  of
Long-Lived Assets". A review of future cash flows, based on the expected closing
date,  indicated that cash flows would be  insufficient  to support the carrying
value of certain machinery and equipment at Norristown. As a result, the Company
recorded  an  asset  impairment  charge  of $1.8  million  in its  statement  of
operations for the second quarter of 2006. Certain of the Norristown  long-lived
assets,   principally   consisting  of  machinery  and   equipment,   have  been
reclassified to current assets held for sale in the accompanying  balance sheet.
The real estate is included in  non-current  assets (other  assets) as it is not
probable that it will be sold within one year.  No impairment  loss was incurred
on the real estate assets based on the Company's analysis.

      Restructuring  charges  related to the closing of the Norristown  facility
totaling  $2.4 million in 2006 were  recorded in the  statement  of  operations.
These  charges  included  termination  benefits of $2.0  million,  $0.1  million
resulting from a pension  curtailment,  and $0.3 million of other  charges.  The
activity in the restructuring reserve was as follows for 2006:


                                       53



                                    Reserve                                     Reserve

                                   =========     =========      =========      =========

      The Norristown  facility  operated  through the third quarter of 2006. The
closing of Norristown and the sale of certain of its assets was completed by the
end of 2006, and most of the remaining assets are expected to be sold in 2007.

      The Company recently  completed an  environmental  study at the Norristown
facility  which  indicated that  environmental  remediation  activities  with an
estimated cost of $0.8 million are required, which the Company accrued as of the
first quarter of 2006.

HANDY & HARMAN ELECTRONIC MATERIALS ("HHEM")

      In  accordance  with  SFAS No.  144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  or
Disposal  of  Long  Lived  Assets",  the  Company  has  evaluated  fixed  assets
associated  with its HHEM facility in light of ongoing  operating  losses.  This
evaluation resulted in the recording of accelerated depreciation of $0.2 million
in 2004,  $0.8  million  in 2005  and $0.6  million  in 2006.  This  accelerated
depreciation is a charge to cost of goods sold in the applicable  period. In the
fourth  quarter of 2006, the Company again  reviewed the  recoverability  of the
long-lived  assets of the HHEM business for  impairment  when it was  determined
that the assets should be  classified  as held for sale in accordance  with SFAS
No.144,  and as a result  of such  review in the  fourth  quarter  of 2006,  the
Company  recorded an asset  impairment  charge of $3.4  million  relating to the
long-lived  assets of HHEM. The amount of the impairment loss was based upon the
actual  selling price of the  long-lived  assets in March 2007. In the Company's
balance  sheet as of December 31, 2006,  the  long-lived  assets of $3.1 million
have been  classified  as  current  assets  held for  sale.  HHEM is part of the
Company's Precious Metals segment.

      On March 4, 2007, the Company sold certain assets,  including the land and
building,  certain  machinery and equipment,  and inventory of HHEM,  located in
East  Providence,  Rhode Island,  as well as certain of its assets and inventory
located in Malaysia for net proceeds of approximately  $3.9 million.  Due to the
charge for the long-lived  asset  impairment in 2006, the Company  recognized no
gain or loss upon sale of the long-lived assets in 2007. However, upon sale, the
Company recognized a loss of $0.9 million relating to the sale of inventory. The
Company has retained  responsibility for any environmental  conditions requiring
remediation at the HHEM site.

WIRE AND CABLE BUSINESS:

      In 2004 the Company  evaluated the current operating plans and current and
forecasted operating results of its wire and cable business.  In accordance with
SFAS No. 144, the Company determined that there were indicators of impairment as
of June 30, 2004 based on continued operating losses, deteriorating margins, and
rising raw material costs. An estimate of future cash flows indicated that as of
June 30, 2004 cash flows would be  insufficient to support the carrying value of
the long-lived  assets of the business.  Accordingly,  these assets were written
down to their  estimated  fair value by  recording a non-cash  asset  impairment
charge of $3.9  million in the second  quarter of 2004.  In November  2004,  the
Company announced that it had signed a non-binding  letter of intent to sell its
wire business and that it was  negotiating the sale of its steel cable business.
The decision to sell was based on the  continued  cash flow drain on the Company
caused  by  these  businesses  from  further   increases  in  operating  losses,
deteriorating margins and rising raw material costs. Based on the proposed terms
of these transactions the Company recorded an additional asset impairment charge
of $4.3  million.  At that time the  Company  stated  that if it were  unable to
complete  these  sales it would  consider  the closure of these  operations.  On
January 13, 2005, the Company  determined that a sale of these  operations could
not be completed on terms satisfactory to the Company.  Accordingly, the Company
decided  to  permanently  close  the wire and  cable  businesses.  The  affected
operations were located in Cockeysville, Maryland and Oriskany, New York.

      In the fourth quarter of 2004, H&H communicated to its 146 union employees
the plan to either sell or close the wire and cable business.  Accordingly,  H&H
recorded a  restructuring  charge of $1.2 million for  termination  benefits and


                                       54


related costs. These termination benefits were paid in 2005. Additionally,  $0.4
million was recorded as a restructuring charge for clean up costs related to the
Cockeysville,  Maryland  facility.  The Company  operated these  facilities on a
limited  basis  in the  first  quarter  of 2005 in  order  to  fulfill  customer
commitments.  Operating  losses and closure  costs  incurred in 2005 amounted to
$4.2 million  including a $0.7 million gain on the sale of certain  fixed assets
and $0.9 million in termination benefits.  Accordingly, the total cost including
termination benefits, operating losses (excluding fixed asset gains) and closure
costs was approximately  $6.5 million.  These costs were funded from realization
of  working  capital  and  proceeds  from  the  sale of  fixed  assets  of these
businesses.  In the second  quarter of 2005 we concluded  all  operations of the
wire  and  cable  business.   Accordingly,  these  businesses  are  reported  as
discontinued  operations.  In 2006 the Company sold land, buildings, and certain
machinery & equipment  relating to this business for $7.3 million and recognized
a pretax gain on these sales of $4.5 million.

      Operating results of discontinued operations were as follows:

NOTE 6 - ACQUISITION

      Pursuant to an Asset Purchase  Agreement (the "Asset Purchase  Agreement")
dated as of December 28, 2006, a subsidiary  of H&H acquired  certain  assets of
ITW  Buildex.  The purchase  price was  approximately  $26 million,  including a
working capital  adjustment.  The assets acquired included,  among other things,
machinery, equipment, inventories of raw materials, work-in-process and finished
products,  certain  contracts,  accounts  receivable and  intellectual  property
rights,  all as related to the  acquired  business  and as provided in the Asset
Purchase Agreement.  This acquired business develops and manufactures  fastening
systems for the  commercial  roofing  industry.  WHX believes  this  acquisition
solidifies  its position as a leading  manufacturer  and supplier of  mechanical
fasteners,  accessories  and  components,  and  building  products for the North
American commercial and residential construction industry.

      The Company has made an  allocation  of the  purchase  price,  as detailed
below, to the assets  acquired and liabilities  assumed at estimated fair market
values:

      No  amortization  expense was recorded in 2006 since the  acquisition  was
made the last working day of the year. The Goodwill has an indefinite  life and,
accordingly,  will not be amortized,  but will be subject to periodic impairment
testing at future periods in accordance  with SFAS No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other
Intangible  Assets".  The goodwill is expected to be amortizable  for income tax
purposes.

      The  acquisition  is being  accounted  for  under the  purchase  method of
accounting.  Beginning  in 2007,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  will
include the results of  operations  of the acquired  business,  now known as OMG
Midwest, and such business will be included (as part of its parent company, OMG,
Inc.), within the Company's Engineered Materials segment for reporting purposes.
Since the business  was  acquired on the last working day of 2006,  there are no

NOTE 7 - PENSIONS, OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

      The Company maintains  several  qualified and non-qualified  pension plans
and  other  postretirement  benefit  plans  covering  substantially  all  of its
employees.  The Company's pension,  health care benefit and significant  defined
contribution plans are discussed below. The Company's other defined contribution
plans are not significant individually or in the aggregate.


                                       56


QUALIFIED PENSION PLANS

      The  Company's   defined  benefit  plan,  the  WHX  Pension  Plan,  covers
substantially  all WHX and H&H employees  and certain  employees of WHX's former
subsidiary, WPC. The WHX Pension Plan was established in May 1998 as a result of
the merger of the former Handy & Harman plans,  which covered  substantially all
H&H employees,  and the WPC plan. The WPC plan,  covering most  USWA-represented
employees of WPC,  was created  pursuant to a  collective  bargaining  agreement
ratified on August 12, 1997. Prior to that date,  benefits were provided through
a  defined   contribution  plan,  the   Wheeling-Pittsburgh   Steel  Corporation
Retirement Security Plan ("RSP"). The assets of the RSP were merged into the WPC
plan as of  December  1,  1997.  Under the terms of the WHX  Pension  Plan,  the
benefit  formula and  provisions for the WPC and H&H  participants  continued as
they were designed under each of the respective plans prior to the merger.

      The qualified  pension  benefits under the WHX Pension Plan were frozen as
of December 31, 2005 and April 30, 2006 for hourly and  salaried  non-bargaining
participants,  respectively,  with the exception of a single  operating  unit. A
related curtailment charge of $0.5 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of
2005.  Future  benefits  for the  impacted  employees  will be provided  through
additional contributions to the defined contribution plan.

      WPC Group  employees  ceased to be active  participants in the WHX Pension
Plan  effective  July 31,  2003 and as a result  such  employees  will no longer
accrue benefits under the WHX Plan.

      On  September  29,  2006,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  158,  "Employers'
Accounting  for Defined  Benefit  Pension and Other  Postretirement  Plans -- an
amendment  of FASB  Statements  No. 87, 88, 106,  and  132(R)."  This  statement
requires recognition of the funded status of a company's defined benefit pension
and postretirement  benefit plans as an asset or liability on the balance sheet.
Previously,  under the  provisions of SFAS No. 87,  "Employers'  Accounting  for
Pensions," and SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement  Benefits
Other Than  Pensions,"  the asset or  liability  recorded on the  balance  sheet
reflected the funded status of the plan, net of certain  unrecognized items that
qualified for delayed income  statement  recognition.  Under SFAS No. 158, these
previously   unrecognized   items  are  to  be  recorded  in  accumulated  other
comprehensive  loss when the  recognition  provisions  are adopted.  The Company
adopted the  recognition  provisions  as of December  31,  2006,  and the funded
status of its defined  benefit  plans is reflected in its  consolidated  balance
sheet as of December 31, 2006. In accordance  with the transition  provisions of
SFAS No. 158, prior periods have not been restated.  The  incremental  effect of
applying  the   recognition   provisions  of  SFAS  No.  158  on  the  Company's
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, is shown below:

      The December 31, 2005 valuation  resulted in a minimum  liability of $65.6
million, which is $18.9 million greater than the amount recorded at December 31,
2004.  Additionally,  the December 31, 2005 valuation  resulted in a decrease to
the intangible  asset of $0.9 million.  As a result WHX recorded a corresponding
charge to other comprehensive income of $19.8 million.

      Pension  benefits  for the WHX and H&H  participants  included  in the WHX
Pension Plan are based on years of service and the amount of compensation at the
time of retirement. However, as noted above, the qualified pension benefits were
frozen for most participants.

      Pension benefits for the WPC participants include both defined benefit and
defined contribution features, since the plan includes the account balances from
the RSP. The gross  benefit,  before  offsets,  is calculated  based on years of
service and the benefit  multiplier  under the plan.  This gross  amount is then
offset for the benefits payable from the RSP and benefits payable by the Pension
Benefit  Guaranty  Corporation  from  previously  terminated  plans.  Individual
employee  accounts  established  under the RSP are maintained until  retirement.
Upon  retirement,  participants  who are  eligible  for the WHX Pension Plan and
maintain  RSP account  balances  will  normally  receive  benefits  from the WHX
Pension Plan.  When these  participants  become  eligible for benefits under the
Plan,  their  vested  balances in the RSP Plan become  assets of the WHX Pension
Plan. Aggregate account balances held in trust in individual employees' accounts
totaled $140 million at December 31, 2006. Such individual  account balances can
only be utilized to fund all or a portion of the respective  individual's  gross
pension  benefit as determined by the defined  benefit plan's  benefit  formula.
These assets cannot be utilized to fund any of the net benefit that is the basis
for determining  the defined  benefit plan's benefit  obligation at December 31,
2006.

      The  Company's  funding  policy is to  contribute  annually an amount that
satisfies the minimum funding standards of ERISA. Prior to 2004, the Company had
not been required to make any such  contributions due to the plan's fully funded
status. The Company contributed $1.2 million and $6.0 million to the WHX Pension
Plan in 2005 and 2004  respectively.  On September 15, 2006, WHX was required to
make a minimum  contribution  to the WHX Pension  Plan for the 2005 plan year in
the amount of $15.5 million. However, the Company did not make that contribution
due to liquidity issues, and applied to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for
a funding waiver for the 2005 plan year. On December 20, 2006, the IRS granted a
conditional waiver of the minimum funding requirements for the 2005 plan year in
accordance with section 412 (d) of the Internal  Revenue Code and section 303 of
the Employee  Retirement Income and Security Act of 1974, as amended  ("ERISA").
On December 28, 2006,  WHX, H&H, and the Pension  Benefit  Guaranty  Corporation
(the "PBGC") entered into the PBGC  Settlement  Agreement in connection with the
IRS  Waiver  and  certain  other  matters.  The IRS Waiver is subject to certain
conditions,  including a requirement  that the Company meet the minimum  funding
requirements  for the WHX Pension  Plan for the plan years  ending  December 31,
2006 through 2010, without applying for a waiver of such requirements.  The PBGC
Settlement  Agreement  and related  agreements  include the  following:  (i) the
amortization of the waived amount of $15.5 million (the "Waiver  Amount") over a
period of five years, (ii) the PBGC's consent to increase borrowings under H&H's
senior  credit  facility to $125  million in  connection  with the closing of an
acquisition  (iii) the resolution of any potential  issues under Section 4062(e)
of ERISA, in connection  with the cessation of operations at certain  facilities
owned by WHX,  H&H or their  subsidiaries,  and (iv) the granting to the PBGC of
subordinate  liens on the  assets  of H&H and its  subsidiaries,  and  specified
assets of WHX, to collateralize WHX's obligation to pay the Waiver Amount to the
WHX Pension  Plan and to make  certain  payments to the WHX Pension  Plan in the
event of its termination.

      The  Company's  investment  policy is to maximize the total rate of return
with a view to long-term  funding  objectives of the pension plan to ensure that
funds are available to meet benefit obligations when due. The three to five year
objective of the Plan is to achieve a rate of return that exceeds the  Company's
expected earnings rate by 150 basis points at prudent levels of risk.  Therefore
the pension plan assets are diversified to the extent necessary to minimize risk
and to achieve an optimal balance  between risk and return.  There are no target
allocations.  The Plan's assets are diversified as to type of assets, investment
strategies  employed,  and number of investment  managers used.  Investments may
include equities,  fixed income, cash equivalents,  convertible securities,  and
hedge funds.  Derivatives  may be used as part of the investment  strategy.  The
Company may direct the transfer of assets between  investment  managers in order
to  rebalance  the  portfolio in  accordance  with asset  allocation  guidelines
established by the Company.

The funded  status of the  plans,  reconciled  to the  amounts  reported  on the
balance sheet, follows.

      In  determining  the  expected  long-term  rate of return on  assets,  the
Company evaluated input from its investment consultants, investment managers and
actuaries.  In addition, the Company considered its historical compound returns,
which have been in excess of the Company's  forward-looking returns. The Company
determines its actuarial  assumptions for its pension and postretirement  plans,
after consultation with its actuaries,  on December 31 of each year to calculate
liability information as of that date and pension and postretirement expense for
the following  year.  The discount  rate  assumption is derived from the rate of
return on high-quality bonds as of December 31 of each year.

CONTRIBUTIONS

      The estimated  minimum  funding  requirements  for the WHX Pension Plan in
2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 are $10.8 million, $11.0 million, $8.9 million,
$7.0  million and $2.3  million  respectively.  Cash  funding  requirements  are
developed annually from actuarial valuations in accordance with ERISA.  Inherent
in  these  valuations  are  assumptions  including  discount  rates,  mortality,
retirement,  turnover  and  expected  long-term  rates of return on plan assets.
Material  changes in cash  funding  requirements  may occur in the future due to
changes in these assumptions or if certain assumptions are not realized.

NON-QUALIFIED PENSION PLANS

      In addition to the  aforementioned  benefit plans, H&H has a non-qualified
pension  plan for certain  current and retired  employees.  Such plan adopted an
amendment effective January 1, 2006, to freeze benefits under the plan. On March
4, 2005, WHX adopted the WHX Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan,
effective as of February 1, 2004,  which  provides for specified  benefits to be
paid to certain  of its  employees.  The WHX  Corporate  Supplemental  Executive
Retirement Plan (SERP) benefits were settled as of August 5, 2005, in accordance
with SFAS 88 and this plan was terminated on December 29, 2005.

      The measurement date for plan obligations is December 31.

The following table presents a  reconciliation  of beginning and ending balances

      (a) Effective January 1, 2006, the H&H non-qualified  pension plan adopted
an  amendment  under  the plan to freeze  benefits  for all  participants.  This
resulted in a  curtailment  credit of $0.5  million,  which was  recorded in the
first quarter of 2006.

401(K) PLANS

      Certain H&H employees  participate in an H&H sponsored savings plan, which
qualifies  under Section 401(k) of the Internal  Revenue Code. This savings plan
allows  eligible  employees  to  contribute  from 1% to 15% of their income on a
pretax basis.  H&H matches 50% of the first 3% of the  employee's  contribution.
Until  the 4th  Quarter  of 2004,  most of  H&H's  matching  contributions  were
invested in shares of WHX common stock and became immediately vested.  After the
4th Quarter of 2004,  all  matching  contributions  were in cash.  The charge to
operations  for the Company's  matching  contribution  amounted to $0.8 million,
$0.7  million,  and $0.7  million  for  2006,  2005 and 2004,  respectively.  In
addition, in 2006, the Company accrued an additional  contribution to the 401(k)
Plan of $0.8 million due to the freezing of benefits under the pension plans.


                                       64


      The number of shares of the Company's  pre-bankruptcy  filing common stock
held by the H&H 401(k) plan was 465,277 at December 31, 2004. WHX  Corporation's
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization  became effective on July 29, 2005 and holders
of WHX's  pre-bankruptcy  filing common stock received no distribution under the
Plan.

OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

      Certain current and retired employees of H&H are covered by postretirement
medical benefit plans.  The benefits  provided are for medical and  prescription
drugs.  Contributions from a majority of the participants are required,  and for
those retirees and spouses the Company's payments are capped.

      The measurement date for plan obligations is December 31.

      Three of the Company's  subsidiaries  amended  their other  postretirement
benefit  plans  in  2005  to  cease  providing  prescription  drug  benefits  to
participants older than age 65. The adjustments  recognized as a result of these
amendments  in 2005 were $2.1  million,  of which $0.3 million will be amortized
through net  periodic  cost in 2006.  At the end of 2005,  one of the  Company's
subsidiaries provided prescription drug benefits which were at least actuarially
equivalent to Medicare part D and applied for the government subsidy in 2006.

      At December 31, 2006, the health care cost trend rate was 9% decreasing to
an ultimate  rate of 5% by the year 2011.  A one  percentage  point  increase in
healthcare  cost  trend  rates  in each  year  would  increase  the  accumulated
postretirement  benefit  obligation  as of December 31, 2006 by $0.6 million and
the  aggregate of the service cost and interest  cost  components of 2006 annual
expense by $52,000.  A one percentage  point  decrease in healthcare  cost trend
rates  in each  year  would  decrease  the  accumulated  postretirement  benefit
obligation  as of December  31, 2006 by $0.5  million and the  aggregate  of the
service cost and interest cost components of 2006 annual expense by $43,000.

      One of the  Company's  postretirement  welfare  plans is  affected  by The
Medicare  Prescription  Drug,  Improvement  and  Modernization  Act of 2003 (the
"Act").  Beginning  in 2006,  the Act  provides  a federal  subsidy  payment  to
companies  providing  benefit plans that meet certain  criteria  regarding their
generosity.  The Company expects to receive those subsidy payments.  The Company
has accounted for the Act in accordance  with FASB Staff Position No. FAS 106-2,
which required, in the Company's case, recognition on July 1, 2004. The adoption
of FSP 106-2 on July 1,  2004 did not have a  material  impact on the  Company's
financial  statements.  The effect of the Medicare Part D subsidy is expected to
reduce the Company's future contributions by approximately 14%.


                                       66


      The Company has an Executive  Post-Retirement Life Insurance Program which
provides for life insurance  benefits equal to three and one half times payroll,
as defined for certain Company executives upon their retirement.  Under FAS 106,
the Company is required to recognize in its financial  statements an annual cost
and benefit  obligation  related to estimated future benefit payments to be made
to its current and retired executives.  Funding for these obligations is made by
the Company.

                                                   =======      =======     =======

      There is no tax provision associated with discontinued  operations in 2005
and 2004, since such operations were generating tax losses in the  jurisdictions
in which they  operated  and due to the  Company's  loss  position in these same
jurisdictions,  the Company does not anticipate  realizing a benefit  associated
with the discontinued operations tax losses.

      Deferred  income taxes result from temporary  differences in the financial
basis  and tax  basis  of  assets  and  liabilities.  The  amounts  shown on the
following  table  represent  the  temporary  differences  between the  Company's
consolidated  tax return basis of assets and liabilities  and the  corresponding
basis for financial reporting.

      Net  deferred  tax  assets  amounting  to $96.7  million  have been  fully
reserved since in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not such tax
benefits will not be realized in future periods. Included in deferred tax assets
at December 31, 2006 are federal net  operating  loss  carryforwards  (NOL's) of
$162.7 million .These NOL's expire between 2007 and 2026.  Management performs a
periodic  evaluation of deferred tax assets and will adjust valuation  allowance
as  circumstances  warrant.  Also,  included in deferred  income tax assets is a
capital loss  carryforward  of $4.0 million related to the sale of the WPC $10.0
million note.

      Upon  its  emergence  from  bankruptcy  on  July  29,  2005,  the  Company
experienced  an  ownership  change as  defined by  Section  382 of the  Internal
Revenue  Code,  which  imposes  annual  limitations  on the  utilization  of net
operating carryforwards post ownership change. The Company believes it qualifies
for the bankruptcy exception to the general Section 382 limitations.  Under this
exception,  the  annual  limitation  imposed by Section  382  resulting  from an
ownership  change will not apply,  instead the net operating loss  carryforwards
must  be  reduced  by  certain   interest  expense  paid  creditors  who  became
stockholders as a result of the bankruptcy  reorganization.  Thus, the Company's
net  operating  losses of $162.7  million  as of  December  31,  2006  include a
reduction of $31.0 million  ($10.8  million  tax-effect).  Additionally,  if the
Company should undergo a second ownership change within two years of the date of
change as a result of the  reorganization,  its remaining  net operating  losses
would be reduced to zero.  Accordingly,  in order to avoid subsequent  ownership
changes,  the Company's new charter  contains a 5% ownership  limit  pursuant to
which certain transfers of the Company's shares will be limited.

      Deferred income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings
of foreign subsidiaries. These earnings are deemed to be permanently reinvested,
and the Company does not plan to initiate any action that would  precipitate the
payment of income taxes thereon.  In 2006 and 2005, the Company had $5.1 million
and $4.2 million, respectively of undistributed foreign earnings.


                                       69


      Total  state and  foreign  income  taxes paid in 2006,  2005,  and 2004 by
continuing  operations  were  $2.0  million,  $1.9  million  and  $1.0  million,
respectively.

      For federal income tax purposes,  the statute of limitations  for audit by
the  Internal  Revenue  Service  ("IRS")  is open for years 2003  through  2006.
Management believes it has adequately provided for all taxes on income.

      The  provision  for  income  taxes  differs  from the amount of income tax
determined by applying the applicable U.S.  statutory federal income tax rate to
pretax income as follows:

      Certain  customers and suppliers of the H&H Precious  Metal Segment choose
to do business on a "toll" basis.  Such customers and suppliers furnish precious
metal to H&H for return in fabricated form (customer metal) or for purchase from
or return to the supplier.  When the  customer's  precious  metal is returned in
fabricated form, the customer is charged a fabrication charge. The value of this
toll precious  metal is not included in the Company's  balance  sheet.  Up until
March 2004,  the Company  maintained a consignment  arrangement  with respect to
most of its  precious  metal  inventory.  Consequently,  to the extent  that the
quantity of customer  and supplier  precious  metal,  as well as precious  metal
owned by the Company,  did not meet  operating  needs,  the Company would either
consign or buy precious metal. This consignment facility was terminated on March
30, 2004 and H&H purchased approximately $15.0 million of precious metal.

(a) During 2006, the Company's precious metal inventory was reduced  principally
by the wind-down of its HHEM operation and the sale of its Singapore  operation.
Accordingly,  the  Company  experienced  a  liquidation  of its  precious  metal
inventory  which is accounted  for under the LIFO method.  Operating  income for
2006 includes a $5.3 million  credit to cost of goods sold from the  liquidation
of precious  metal  inventories  valued at LIFO.  The operating  income for 2004
includes a non-cash  charge to cost of goods  sold  resulting  from the lower of
cost or  market  adjustment  to  precious  metal  inventories  in the  amount of
approximately $1.0 million.

      The Company conducted the required annual goodwill  impairment  reviews in
2006,  2005, and 2004, and computed  updated  valuations for each reporting unit
using a discounted cash flow approach and market approach.  Based on the results
of this review,  there was no goodwill impairment in 2006 and 2005, but in 2004,
the  Company  recorded  a $79.8  million  non-cash  goodwill  impairment  charge
relating to the following businesses:  $34.2 million for specialty tubing, $45.6
million for precious metals. The Company recorded these charges because the fair
value of goodwill,  as determined by estimated cash flow projections and data on
market  comparables,  was less than the reporting  units'  carrying  value.  The
decrease  in value  was  related  to a  reduction  in the  projection  of future
profitability,  increased  working  capital  requirements,  and  changes  in the
discount rates.

      As of December 31, 2005, due to default on certain financial  covenants in
its  various  loan  agreements,  the  Company  classified  much  of its  debt as
short-term  due to the  lenders'  ability  to demand  immediate  payment.  As of
December 31, 2006,  such debt has been classified as long-term since the Company
is no longer in default on the debt,  and the debts'  maturity  date is June 30,
2008.

      A summary  of the  financial  agreements  at  December  31,  2006 and 2005
follows:

HANDY & HARMAN CREDIT FACILITIES

      On March 31,  2004,  H&H entered  into a revolving  credit  facility  (the
"Revolver")  and a $22.2  million  Term A Loan with  Wachovia  Capital  Finance,
formerly  Congress  Financial  Corporation,  as  agent  and  lender,  ("Wachovia
Facilities") and a $71.0 million Term B Loan with Ableco Finance LLP ("Ableco").
On October 29, 2004 the Term B Loan was assigned to Canpartners  Investments IV,
LLC ("Canpartners").

      The Revolver  provided for up to $62.9 million of borrowings  dependent on
the levels of and collateralized by eligible accounts  receivable and inventory.
The Revolver  provided  for  interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% or the U.S.  Base rate
plus 1.00%.  An  amendment  to the  facility on  December  29, 2004  lowered the
margins on the Revolver to LIBOR plus 2.25% or the U.S. Base Rate plus 0.5%. The
Wachovia  Facilities  mature on March 31, 2007 (although by amendment  signed on
March  29,  2007,  were  extended  until  June  30,  2008).  The  Term A Loan is
collateralized by eligible  equipment and real estate, and provided for interest
at LIBOR plus 3.25% or the prime rate plus 1.5%. An amendment to the facility on
December  29, 2004  lowered the margins on the Term Loan A to LIBOR plus 2.5% or
the U.S.  Base Rate plus .75%.  Borrowings  under the  Wachovia  Facilities  are
collateralized  by first  priority  security  interests  in and  liens  upon all
present and future stock and assets of H&H and its  subsidiaries  including  all
contract rights, deposit accounts,  investment property,  inventory,  equipment,
real property,  and all products and proceeds thereof. The principal of the Term
A Loan is  payable  in  monthly  installments  of  $0.2  million.  The  Wachovia
Facilities contain  affirmative,  negative,  and financial covenants  (including
minimum EBITDA, maximum leverage, and fixed charge coverage, and restrictions on
cash  distributions  that  can be made to WHX).  H&H's  availability  under  its
revolving credit facility and other facilities as of December 31, 2006 was $19.1
million.

      On May 20,  2005,  H&H entered  into an amendment to the Loan and Security
Agreement with Wachovia ("Wachovia Amendment").  The Wachovia Amendment provided
for amendments to certain  financial  covenants,  up to an additional  equipment
loan of $3 million, as well as certain other terms and conditions.  On September
8,  2005,  H&H  entered  into an  amendment  to the  Wachovia  Facilities.  This
amendment  provided for, among other things, (i) the revision of the calculation
of components of the borrowing base which results in an increase in availability
and (ii) the  increase of the current  outstanding  amount of the Term A loan to
$22.2 million.  The amended Term A Loan originally  required monthly payments of
$0.3 million. The Term A Loan was reduced by the proceeds received from the sale
of H&H's Wire group.

      On December  29,  2005,  H&H entered  into an  amendment  to the  Wachovia
Facilities. This amendment provided for, among other things, (i) the increase of
the borrowing base by $3.5 million  through January 31, 2006, (ii) the waiver of
certain  defaults and (iii)  certain  related  amendments to the  covenants.  On
January 24,  2006,  H&H entered  into a consent and  amendment  to the  Wachovia
Facilities.  This  consent  and  amendment  was made in  connection  with a loan
agreement  entered  into by  H&H's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  OMG,  Inc.,  with
Sovereign Bank dated as of January 24, 2006 collateralized by a mortgage on OMG,
Inc.'s  real  property  pursuant  to which an $8.0  million  term  loan was made
available to OMG,  Inc. This consent and  amendment  provides  for,  among other
things,  amending certain definitions to reflect the loan agreement entered into
by OMG, Inc.


                                       74


      On  March  31,  2006,  H&H  entered  into  an  amendment  to the  Wachovia
Facilities.  This  amendment  provided for,  among other things,  consent to the
increase  of the Term B Loan on the same  date in the  principal  amount of $9.0
million  and the  prepayment  of a portion  of H&H's  subordinated  intercompany
promissory  note issued to WHX (the "WHX Note") in the principal  amount of $9.0
million.  After the payment of $9.0 million by H&H, WHX  converted the remaining
intercompany note balance to equity.

      In connection with the  refinancing of the H&H credit  facilities in March
2004, the Company wrote off deferred financing fees of $1.2 million. This charge
was classified as loss on early retirement of debt.

      The Term B Loan  matures on March 31, 2007 (by  amendment  signed on March
29,  2007,  was extended  until June 30, 2008) and provides for annual  payments
based on 40% of excess  cash flow as  defined  in the  agreement.  Interest  was
payable  monthly  at the Prime  Rate plus 8%. At no time will the Prime  Rate of
interest  be below  4%.  The Term B  Facility  has a  second  priority  security
interest  in and lien on all  assets of H&H,  subject  to the prior  lien of the
Wachovia  Facilities and a prior lien of $15.5 million to the PBGC in connection
with the PBGC Settlement  Agreement.  The Term B facility contains  affirmative,
negative,  and financial covenants  (including minimum EBITDA,  maximum leverage
and fixed charge coverage,  restrictions on cash  distributions that can be made
to WHX and cross default provisions with the Wachovia Facilities).

      On October 29, 2004,  Handy & Harman completed the assignment of its $71.0
million Term B Loan from Ableco, as agent, and the existing lenders thereto,  to
Canpartners  Investments  IV, LLC  ("Canpartners"),  an entity  affiliated  with
Canyon Capital Advisors LLC, as agent and lender. Substantially all of the terms
and conditions of the term loan continued without amendment,  with the principal
exception  that the  interest  rate for the loan was  reduced by 4.0% per annum,
effective October 29, 2004. In connection with the assignment,  the Company paid
third  party fees of  approximately  $1.8  million.  These fees are  included in
interest expense.

      On May 20,  2005,  H&H entered  into an amendment to the Loan and Security
Agreement with Canpartners ("Canpartners Amendment").  The Canpartners Amendment
provided for amendments to certain financial  covenants as well as certain other
terms and conditions.  On September 8, 2005, H&H completed the assignment of its
approximately $70.6 million Term B Loan from Canpartners,  to Steel Partners II,
L.P.  ("Steel"),  as  agent  and  lender.  Substantially  all of the  terms  and
conditions  of  the  Term B  Loan  continued  without  amendment.  Steel  is the
beneficial   holder  of  5,029,793   shares  of  the  Company's   common  stock,
representing  approximately 50% of the outstanding shares.  Warren Lichtenstein,
the sole executive  officer and managing member of Steel Partners,  L.L.C.,  the
general  partner of Steel Partners II, L.P., is the Chairman of the Board of the
Company.

      On December  29,  2005,  H&H entered  into an amendment to its Term B Loan
with Steel. This amendment provides for, among other things, (i) the increase of
the Term B Loan in January 2006 by $10 million, to $81 million,  (ii) the waiver
of certain  defaults and (iii) certain related  amendments to the covenants.  On
January 24, 2006,  H&H entered into a consent and  amendment to its Term B Loan.
This consent and  amendment  was made in  connection  with a five-year  loan and
security  agreement entered into by H&H's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  OMG, Inc.,
with Sovereign Bank dated as of January 24, 2006 collateralized by a mortgage on
OMG,  Inc.'s real property  pursuant to which an $8.0 million term loan was made
available to OMG,  Inc. This consent and  amendment  provides  for,  among other
things,  (i) the amendment of certain  definitions to reflect the loan agreement
entered into by OMG,  Inc. and (ii) the increase of the  indebtedness  covenant,
each to reflect the loan agreement entered into by OMG, Inc.

      On March 31, 2006, H&H entered into an amendment to the Term B Loan.  This
amendment  provided for, among other things,  an additional loan of $9.0 million
to H&H and its  subsidiaries  to be used to make a prepayment on the WHX Note of
up to such amount.

      H&H and its bank group  amended its  facilities  as of October 30, 2006 to
provide,  among other  things,  an  additional  $7.0  million term loan upon the
filing of its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K,  and an immediate $3.0 million of
borrowing  availability  under its revolving  credit  facility.  On December 27,
2006, Wachovia provided H&H with such $7.0 million loan.

      On December 28, 2006, H&H and certain of H&H's subsidiaries  amended their
Loan and Security  Agreement with Wachovia and their Loan and Security Agreement
with Steel to provide,  in part, for: (i) the  consummation of the  transactions
contemplated by the PBGC Settlement  Agreement and the waiver of possible events
of default that may have  occurred  relating to the matters  covered by the PBGC
Settlement Agreement;  and (ii) a $42 million term loan funded by Ableco Finance
LLC. A portion of the loan ($26 million) was used to fund an acquisition by H&H,
$3.2  million  was  paid  as  a  contribution  to  the  WHX  Pension  Plan,  and
approximately  $12  million  of the loan was used to  reduce  H&H's  outstanding
balance of its revolving credit facility.


                                       75


      On March 29,  2007,  H&H and  certain of H&H's  subsidiaries  amended  the
respective Loan and Security  Agreements with Wachovia and Steel to, among other
things,  (i) amend the  definition  of  EBITDA,  (ii) reset the levels and amend
certain of the financial  covenants,  (iii) extend the  termination  date of the
credit  facilities  from  March  31,  2007 to June 30,  2008,  (iv)  permit  the
extension  by H&H to WHX of an  unsecured  loan  for  required  payments  to the
pension plan, under certain  conditions,  and (v) permit the extension by H&H to
WHX of an unsecured loan for other uses in the aggregate principal amount not to
exceed $3.5 million under certain conditions..  The amendments also provided for
the pledge of 65% of all  outstanding  securities of Indiana Tube Danmark A/S, a
Danish   corporation   and  a   wholly-owned   subsidiary   of  Handy  &  Harman
International,   Ltd.,  and  Protechno,   S.A.,  a  French   corporation  and  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Indiana Tube Danmark A/S.  Finally,  the  amendments
also provided for waivers of certain events of default  existing as of March 29,
2007.

OTHER HANDY & HARMAN DEBT

      On January 24, 2006, H&H's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  OMG, Inc.,  entered
into an $8.0 million five-year loan and security  agreement with Sovereign Bank.
The loan is collateralized by a mortgage on OMG, Inc.'s real property. Principal
is payable monthly in installments of $12 thousand. The loan bears interest at a
variable  rate  equal  to Libor  plus  2.25%.  The  Company  has a $1.0  million
restricted  cash deposit with  Sovereign  Bank that further  collateralizes  the
outstanding liability.

      In March  2004,  H&H's  wholly  owned  Danish  subsidiary  entered  into a
financing  agreement  to replace  and repay  existing  debt that had been issued
under a  multi-currency  facility  within the existing H&H Senior Secured Credit
Facilities.  The new  Danish  facilities  are with a Danish  bank and  include a
revolving  credit  facility and term loans.  At December 31, 2006 and 2005 there
was approximately $5.5 million and $5.4 million, respectively, outstanding under
the term loans.  At December  31,  2006,  there was no debt  outstanding  and at
December  31,  2005,  $0.5  million  was  borrowed  under the  revolving  credit
facility.

MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

      On October 26, 2005, WHX CS Corp. ("CS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company,  entered into a Stock Purchase  Agreement with Steel.  Pursuant to this
agreement, CS sold 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Steel Shares"),  to Steel. Steel paid a purchase price of $5,100 per
share or an aggregate  purchase  price of $5.1 million.  The Steel Shares accrue
dividends at 6.0%  ($306,000)  per annum.  The Steel Shares were  required to be
redeemed by CS for $5.1 million plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on October
26, 2006 or, at the sole option of the Board of  Directors of CS, on any earlier
date.  However,  there was no such  redemption on that date. The proceeds of the
sale were used by CS to purchase 1,898,337 shares of Cosine Communications, Inc.

INTEREST COST

      Cash interest paid in 2006,  2005,  and 2004 was $11.1,  $12.6,  and $20.1
million,  respectively.  The Company has not  capitalized  any interest costs in
2006,  2005,  and 2004.  Weighted  average  interest  rates for the years  ended
December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 were 10.79%, 8.50%, and 8.49% respectively.

NOTE 13- EARNINGS PER SHARE

      The  computation  of basic  earnings  per  common  share is based upon the
weighted  average number of shares of common stock  outstanding.  As a result of
the Company's  emergence from bankruptcy in 2005, there have been changes to the
authorized  and  outstanding  common  stock of WHX. As  discussed in Note 3, the
Company emerged from protection  under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on July
29, 2005. Prior to emergence,  the Company had 5,522,926 preferred and 5,485,856
common shares outstanding.

      Upon  emergence from  bankruptcy,  holders of the Company's 10 1/2% Senior
Notes,  with a  carrying  value of $96.6  million  (including  accrued  interest
through the date of filing for bankruptcy),  received 9,200,000 shares of common
stock in full and  complete  satisfaction  of all claims,  in  exchange  for the
extinguishment  of this debt. The preferred stock, with a carrying value of $267
million,  was  extinguished  upon emergence from  bankruptcy in exchange for the
residual shares of common stock outstanding,  (800,485 shares), plus warrants to
purchase an additional  752,688  common  shares.  Holders of the  pre-bankruptcy
common stock received no distribution under the Plan.

      For purposes of calculating  the 2005 Earnings Per Share,  the Company has
included the gain on the  extinguishment  of the preferred stock of $258 million
(representing  the  difference  between  the fair value of the common  stock and
warrants issued upon emergence from bankruptcy to the preferred stockholders and
the  carrying  value  of the  preferred  stock)  as an  increase  in net  income
available to common shareholders in accordance with EITF Topic D-42, "The Effect
on the  Calculation  of  Earnings  per  Share  for  the  Redemption  or  Induced
Conversion  of Preferred  Stock".  As to the weighted  average  number of common
shares  outstanding  for 2005,  the Company has  accounted for the common shares
cancelled in connection with the emergence from Chapter 11 as a retirement,  and
the  issuance of common  shares to the  preferred  shareholders  and Senior Note
holders as an issuance.


                                       76


      Since the  Company did not qualify  for  fresh-start  reporting  under the
guidance in  Statement  of Position  90-7,  "Financial  Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization  Under the Bankruptcy Code", the  pre-emergence  common shares of
5,485,856 and post-bankruptcy  shares of 10,000,485 are combined,  on a weighted
average basis,  in the denominator  used for earnings per share  calculations in
2005 on the basis that such common shares are of the same class of stock.

      In 2005 during  bankruptcy and in 2004, the conversion of preferred stock,
the  exercise  of  options  to  purchase  common  stock,  and the  inclusion  of
non-vested  restricted  common  stock  awards  would  have had an  anti-dilutive
effect.  At July 29, 2005 and  December  31,  2004,  the assumed  conversion  of
preferred  stock  would have  increased  outstanding  shares of common  stock by
5,127,914  shares.  Stock options to purchase  1,302,068  shares of common stock
were  outstanding  during  2004,  but were not  included in the  computation  of
diluted earnings per share because the options exercise prices were greater than
the average  market price of the common shares  during such period.  At December
31, 2005 there are no restricted  stock  awards,  and at December 31, 2004 there
were 26,667, respectively, of non-vested common stock associated with restricted
stock awards. Preferred stock dividends and interest on the 10 1/2% Senior Notes
of $3.9 million and $7.8  million,  respectively,  were not  recorded  while the
Company was being  reorganized  in Chapter 11, and are therefore not included in
the 2005  earnings per share  calculation  on the basis that such  dividends and
interest were not  considered to be an allowed claim.  A  reconciliation  of the
income and shares used in the earnings per share computation follows:

                                                                                Year ended December 31, 2006

NOTE 14 - STOCKHOLDERS' (DEFICIT) EQUITY

      The  authorized  capital  stock of WHX  consists of  40,000,000  shares of
Common  Stock,  $0.01 par value,  of which  10,000,498  shares  were  issued and
outstanding as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and 5,000,000  shares of preferred
stock,  none of which were issued and  outstanding  as of  December  31, 2006 or
2005. Although the Board of Directors of WHX is expressly  authorized to fix the
designations,  preferences  and  rights,  limitations  or  restrictions  of  the
Preferred Stock by adoption of a Preferred  Stock  Designation  resolution,  the
Board of  Directors  has not yet done so.  The  Common  Stock of WHX has  voting
power,  is  entitled to receive  dividends  when and if declared by the Board of
Directors   and   subject   to  any   preferential   dividend   rights   of  any
then-outstanding Preferred Stock, and in liquidation,  after distribution of the
preferential amount, if any, due to the Preferred Stockholders,  are entitled to
receive all the remaining assets of the corporation.

      Prior to emergence from  bankruptcy,  the authorized  capital stock of WHX
consisted  of  60,000,000  shares  of Common  Stock,  $.01 par  value,  of which
5,485,856 shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2004, and 10,000,000 shares
of  Preferred  Stock,  $.10 par  value,  of which  2,573,926  shares of Series A
Convertible  Preferred  Stock  and  2,949,000  shares  of  Series B  Convertible
Preferred  Stock were  outstanding  as of December 31, 2004.  As a result of the
Plan and  Bankruptcy  Filing,  the original  common stock was cancelled  with no
consideration  provided to the common stockholders and the Series A and Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock was cancelled in exchange for 8% of the common stock
of reorganized WHX, plus warrants to purchase common stock in reorganized WHX.

      Dividends on the shares of the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock were  cumulative and payable  quarterly in arrears,  in an amount equal to
$3.25 per  share per annum and $3.75 per share per annum for the  Series A and B
Stock, respectively.  By the terms of the Company's Senior Notes, the payment of
dividends on the Company's  Preferred  Stock was  prohibited.  Each share of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible at the option of the holder
into shares of Common  Stock,  at a conversion  rate of 1.0562  shares of Common
Stock for each share of  Preferred  Stock.  The Series A  Convertible  Preferred
Stock was  redeemable  at the option of the  Company,  initially  at $52.275 per
share and thereafter at prices  declining  ratably to $50 per share on and after
July 1, 2003,  plus accrued and unpaid  dividends to the redemption  date.  Each
share of the Series B Convertible  Preferred Stock was convertible at the option
of the holder into shares of Common Stock at a  conversion  rate of 0.8170 share
of Common  Stock for each share of  Preferred  Stock.  The Series B  Convertible
Preferred Stock was redeemable at the option of the Company initially at $52.625
per share and  thereafter  at prices  declining  ratably to $50 per share on and
after October 1, 2004, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.
As previously described, upon emergence from bankruptcy, all shares of preferred
stock and accrued dividends were deemed cancelled and annulled.

WARRANTS

      As described  above,  as part of the Plan of  Reorganization,  on July 29,
2005 in exchange for the  extinguishment  and  cancellation of their stock,  the
Series A preferred  stockholders,  and Series B preferred  stockholders received
their  pro  rata  share  of  800,000  shares  of the  new  common  stock  of the
reorganized WHX and their pro rata share of 752,688  warrants to purchase common
stock of the reorganized  company,  exercisable at $11.20 per share and expiring
February 28, 2008.  As of the Effective  Date,  the warrants were valued at $1.3
million using the Black-Scholes valuation method at $1.71 per warrant.

ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

      Accumulated other comprehensive  income (loss) balances as of December 31,

NOTE 15- STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

POST-BANKRUPTCY STOCK OPTION PLANS

      The  Company has agreed to grant stock  options  upon  adoption of a stock
option plan by the Board of Directors and registration  thereof with the SEC, or
in lieu thereof, phantom stock options or equivalent other consideration (at the
sole  discretion  of the  Company),  to various  officers  and  employees of the
Company,  on or as of the following effective dates (in the case of December 31,
2006, on or before) and in the following respective amounts,  with strike prices
or equivalent values as if granted on the dates set forth:

                  June 30, 2006              25,000 shares
                  September 30, 2006        130,000 shares
                  December 31, 2006         205,000 shares
                  September 30, 2007         60,000 shares

      The trading price per share of the  Company's  common stock as of June 30,
2006 and September 30, 2006 was $9.20 and $9.00, respectively and as of December
31, 2006 the trading price was $8.45 per share.  Under SFAS 123R, the Company is
required  to adjust its  obligation  to the fair value of such stock  options or
phantom stock options from the effective  date of grant up to the date of actual
grant. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan as of March 31, 2007.

PRE-BANKRUPTCY STOCK OPTION PLANS

      The following stock option plans (the "Option Plans") were in effect until
WHX  emerged  from  bankruptcy  in July  2005.  In  accordance  with the plan of
reorganization all such stock option plans were cancelled and annulled.

      The Option Plans were  intended to assist in securing and retaining in the
employ of the Company directors, officers,  consultants,  advisors and employees
by  allowing  them to  participate  in the  ownership  and the  development  and
financial   success  of  the  Company   through  the  grant  of  incentive   and
non-qualified options (collectively,  the "Options"), stock appreciation rights,
restricted  stock,  and other equity  incentives  or stock or stock based awards
("Equity  Incentives").  Incentive  stock options granted under the Option Plans
were intended to be "Incentive  Stock  Options" as defined by Section 422 of the
United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

2003 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

      An  aggregate  of 250,000  shares of Common Stock were subject to the 2003
Plan.  The term of Options  granted  under the 2003 Plan did not exceed 10 years
(five years in the case of an  incentive  Option  granted to an optionee  owning
more than 10% of the voting  stock of the Company (a "10%  Holder").  The Option
price for Options  was not to be less than 100% of the fair market  value of the
shares of Common  Stock at the time the Option was granted;  provided,  however,
that with  respect to an  incentive  option,  in the case of a 10%  Holder,  the
purchase  price per share was at least 110% of such fair market  value.  In 2003
the Company  awarded 80,000 shares of restricted  common stock to members of the
Board of  Directors  at a fair  market  value of $2.48 per share.  These  shares
vested 1/3  immediately  and 1/3 in 2004 and  continued to vest until such stock
was cancelled on the Effective Date.  Compensation expense related to restricted
stock awards was recognized over the vesting period.

2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN

      An aggregate of 500,000  shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance
upon exercise of Options under the 2001 Plan. The term of Options  granted under
the 2001 Plan did not exceed 10 years  (five  years in the case of an  incentive
2001 Option  granted to an optionee  owning more than 10% of the voting stock of
the Company (a "10%  Holder").  The Option  price for 2001 Options was not to be
less than 100% of the fair  market  value of the  shares of Common  Stock at the
time the  Option  was  granted;  provided,  however,  that  with  respect  to an
incentive option, in the case of a 10% Holder,  the purchase price per share was
at least 110% of such fair market value.

1991 STOCK OPTION PLAN

      An  aggregate  of  1,250,000  shares of Common  Stock  were  reserved  for
issuance upon exercise of 1991 Options under the 1991 Plan, as amended. The term
of 1991 Options  granted under the 1991 Plan did not exceed 15 years (five years
in the case of an incentive 1991 Option granted to an optionee  owning more than
10% of the voting stock of the  Company).  The Option price for 1991 Options was
not less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock at the
time the  Options  were  granted;  provided,  however,  that with  respect to an
incentive option, in the case of a 10% Holder,  the purchase price per share was
at least 110% of such fair market value.

LEGAL MATTERS:

SUMCO INC. V.  UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD'S,  LONDON,  LEXINGTON  INSURANCE  COMPANY,
HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY, AND WURTTEMBERGISCHE VERSICHERUNG AG

      On July 7, 2004, Sumco Inc. ("Sumco"),  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of H&H,
filed suit in the  Marion  County  Superior  Court of  Indiana  against  certain
underwriters  affiliated  with Lloyd's,  London,  Lexington  Insurance  Company,


                                       80


Hartford Fire  Insurance  Company,  and  Wurttembergische  Versicherung  AG (the
defendants).  Sumco seeks to recover  monies from these  insurance  carriers for
losses  incurred  as a result of a January  20,  2002 fire at its metal  plating
facility  in  Indianapolis,  Indiana.  At the time of the fire,  Sumco's  parent
corporation,  WHX, had in place  layered fire  insurance  policies with combined
limits of $25 million and a deductible  of $100,000.  The  defendants  represent
carriers  who  provided  $15  million  in  insurance  coverage  in excess of two
underlying  policies of $5 million  each.  Defendants  have  previously  paid $5
million in claims.  Sumco  contends  that its losses are in excess of the policy
limits,  defendants  have acted in bad  faith,  and that it is  entitled  to the
payment of the remaining  approximate $10 million in insurance coverage provided
by the  defendants.  In December 2006, the Court ruled on the Motion for Summary
Judgment.  It denied the insurers'  motion for summary judgment on the bad faith
claims and limited  the  compensatory  damages  that Sumco  could  recover.  The
defendants  have denied the  allegations  of the complaint and asserted  certain
defenses.  The parties settled their claims in May 2007 for an aggregate payment
to WHX of $5,689,276 from the defendants, and an assignment of their interest to
WHX in up to another $1.7 million in proceeds  resulting  from the settlement of
subrogation  claims  against  various third  parties (the recovery of which,  in
whole  or  part,  is not  assured).  Steel  Partners  has a first  lien on these
proceeds and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has a second lien.

HANDY & HARMAN  REFINING  GROUP,  INC.,  DEBTOR  PLAINTIFFS  V.  HANDY & HARMAN,
DEFENDANT

      H&H was a defendant in a lawsuit (the "Indemnity Action") filed by Handy &
Harman Refining Group, Inc. ("HHRG") (an unrelated party to H&H) seeking a money
judgment in the amount of $8.5 million, plus interest,  which as of December 31,
2005 was alleged to be  approximately  $4.0  million,  for an alleged  breach of
contract in connection with H&H's sale of its Precious Metals Refining  Division
to HHRG in 1996.  HHRG  subsequently  filed for  Chapter  11 and  commenced  the
Indemnity  Action in the  Bankruptcy  Court on or about August 14,  2002.  On or
about May 26, 2004,  the Indemnity  Action was  transferred to the United States
District  Court for the District of  Connecticut.  H&H filed a proof of claim in
the HHRG  bankruptcy  which  had an  outstanding  amount of  approximately  $1.9
million and funds had been set aside in that amount by HHRG. The parties settled
this matter in June 2006 for the  surrender of the full amount of H&H's proof of
claim of $1.9 million  plus a payment of $438,000 to HHRG.  The  settlement  was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

HH EAST PARCEL, LLC. V. HANDY & HARMAN

      This action  arises out of a purchase and sale  agreement  entered into in
2003  whereby  H&H agreed to sell the  eastern  parcel of a  commercial  site in
Fairfield,  Connecticut to HH East Parcel, LLC ("HH East"). On or about April 5,
2005,  HH East  filed a Demand for  Arbitration  with the  American  Arbitration
Association  seeking  legal and  equitable  relief  including  completion of the
remediation of environmental conditions at the site in accordance with the terms
of  the  agreement.  An  arbitration  hearing  was  held  in  November  2005  in
Connecticut, pursuant to which HH East was awarded an amount equal to $5,000 per
day from January 1, 2005  through the date on which  remediation  is  completed.
This award amounts to approximately  $4.0 million through the completion date of
April 6, 2007.  H&H  applied to the  Superior  Court of  Connecticut,  Fairfield
County,  to have the arbitration award vacated and a decision was issued on June
26, 2006,  denying H&H's  application.  H&H is appealing this decision.  H&H has
been working  cooperatively  with the  Connecticut  Department of  Environmental
Protection  ("CTDEP")  with  respect to its  obligations  under a consent  order
entered into in 1989 that applies to both the eastern and western parcels of the
property. H&H has been conducting an investigation of the western parcel, and is
continuing the process of evaluating  various options for its  remediation.  The
sale of the  eastern  parcel that is the  subject of this  litigation  triggered
statutory  obligations  under  Connecticut  law  to  investigate  and  remediate
pollution  at  or  emanating  from  the  eastern   parcel.   H&H  completed  the
investigation  and  has  been  actively  conducting   remediation  of  all  soil
conditions  on the  eastern  parcel  for more  than  three  years.  Although  no
groundwater  remediation  is  required,  there  will be  monitoring  of same for
several years. Remediation of all soil conditions on site was completed on April
6, 2007. The total  remediation  is expected to exceed $28.0  million,  of which
approximately  $23.9 million had been expended  through  December 31, 2006.  H&H
received  reimbursement  of $2.0 million of these costs from its carrier under a
cost-cap  insurance  policy  and  is  pursuing  its  potential   entitlement  to
additional coverage.

PAUL E. DIXON & DENNIS C. KELLY V. HANDY & HARMAN

      Two former  officers of H&H filed a Statement  of Claim with the  American
Arbitration  Association  ("Arbitration") on or about January 3, 2006,  alleging
four claims  against H&H. The Claimants  were  employees of H&H until  September
2005 when their  employment was terminated by H&H. Their claims include  seeking
payments allegedly due under employment contracts and allegedly arising from the
terminations,  and seeking  recovery of benefits  under what they allege was the
Handy & Harman Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

      The Statement of Claim recites that the  employment  agreements of each of
the  Claimants  provides that H&H may  terminate  their  employment at any time,
without prior notice,  for any of the following  reasons:  "(i) [the  officer's]
engaging  in conduct  which is  materially  injurious  to [H&H] or [WHX],  their
subsidiaries  or  affiliates,  or any of their  respective  customer or supplier
relationships, monetarily or otherwise; (ii) [the officer's] engaging in any act
of fraud,  misappropriation  or embezzlement or any act which would constitute a
felony (other than minor traffic violations);  or (iii) [the officer's] material
breach of the  agreement." The Statement of Claim further  alleges,  and H&H has
not disputed,  that each Claimant's  employment was terminated in September 2005
pursuant to a letter,  which  stated in part,  that each  Claimant  had violated
provisions of such  officer's  employment  agreement,  contained in the previous
sentence,  "by, INTER ALIA, attempting to amend and put in place various benefit
plans to  personally  benefit  yourself,  without  notice to, or approval of the
Board of  Directors;  for  further  failing to  disclose  the  existence  of the
relevant  plan  documents  and other  information  to the Board;  for failing to
cooperate in the Company's investigation of these important issues; for material
losses to the Company in connection with these actions....".


                                       81


      In the  Arbitration,  Claimants  sought an award in  excess of $4  million
each,  plus  interest,   costs  and  attorneys'  fees.   Claimants  also  sought
indemnification for certain matters and an injunction against H&H with regard to
life insurance  policies.  H&H brought a special proceeding on February 15, 2006
in the  Supreme  Court of the State of New York,  County of  Westchester,  for a
judgment staying the arbitration of three of the four claims. On March 10, 2006,
all of the parties filed a stipulation with the court,  discontinuing  the court
proceeding and agreeing therein, among other things, that all claims asserted by
the  Claimants in the  Arbitration  (which was also  discontinued  at that time)
would be asserted in Supreme Court, Westchester County.

      In April 2006,  Claimants  served a request for  benefits,  severance  and
other  amounts,  similar  to those  described  above,  on H&H and  various  plan
administrators and fiduciaries  thereof.  The request was reviewed in accordance
with the  procedures  of the plans at issue and by letter  dated  September  27,
2006;  Claimants were notified that their request was largely denied. They filed
an appeal on December  11, 2006 with the Plan  Administrator,  which  appeal was
denied on  February 9, 2007.  While no action is pending in any court,  H&H does
not  believe  that it is liable to  Claimants  under the  claims  that have been
asserted to date, and it intends to defend itself vigorously  against any claims
that may be asserted by  Claimants.  There can be no assurance  that H&H will be
successful in defending  against any such claims,  or that H&H will not have any
liability  on  account  of  claims  that  may be  asserted  by  Claimants.  Such
liability,   if  any,  cannot  be  reasonably   estimated  at  this  time,  and.
accordingly,  there can be no assurance  that the resolution of this matter will
not be material to the financial  position,  results of operations and cash flow
of the Company.

ARISTA DEVELOPMENT LLC V. HANDY & HARMAN ELECTRONIC MATERIALS CORPORATION

      In  2004,  a  subsidiary  of H&H  entered  into  an  agreement  to  sell a
commercial/industrial  property  in  North  Attleboro,  Massachusetts.  Disputes
between  the  parties  led to suit being  brought in Bristol  Superior  Court in
Massachusetts.  The plaintiff  alleges that H&H is liable for breach of contract
and  certain  consequential  damages  as a result  of H&H's  termination  of the
agreement in 2005, although H&H subsequently  revoked its notice of termination.
H&H has denied  liability and has been vigorously  defending the case. The court
entered a preliminary  injunction  enjoining H&H from  conveying the property to
anyone other than the  plaintiff  during the pendency of the case.  Discovery on
liability and damages has been stayed while the parties are actively  engaged in
settlement  discussions,  on which they have  reached  agreement  in  principle,
subject to certain conditions.  Concurrently with these settlement efforts,  H&H
is  continuing  to  comply  with a 1987  consent  order  from the  Massachusetts
Department of  Environmental  Protection  ("MADEP") to investigate and remediate
the soil and  groundwater  conditions.  H&H is in discussions  with the EPA, the
MADEP and the  plaintiff  in  connection  with the  remedial  activities.  Since
discovery  is not  completed,  it  cannot be known at this  time  whether  it is
foreseeable  or probable  that  plaintiff  would  prevail in the  litigation  or
whether H&H would have any liability to the plaintiff.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS

      In  connection  with the sale of its  Fairfield,  Connecticut  facility in
2003, the Company was responsible for demolition and  environmental  remediation
of the  site,  the  estimated  cost of which  was  included  in the loss on sale
recorded  in  2003.  H&H  determined   that  an  increase  in  the  reserve  for
environmental  remediation was needed in the amount of $28.3 million,  which was
recorded in the fourth quarter of 2004. This change in reserve was caused by the
discovery  of  underground  debris  and  soil  contaminants  that  had not  been
anticipated.  These additional  costs are included in environmental  remediation
expense.  An  additional  $3.8  million was  recorded  in  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses as a penalty  related to  Fairfield  East.  The Company
retains title to a parcel of land  adjacent to the property  sold in 2003.  This
parcel is classified as other non-current assets, in the amount of $2.0 million,
on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

      H&H entered into an administrative  consent order (the "ACO") in 1986 with
the New Jersey Department of Environmental  Protection  ("NJDEP") with regard to
certain  property  that it  purchased  in 1984 in New Jersey.  The ACO  involves
remediation  to be performed with regard to soil and  groundwater  contamination
allegedly  from TCE.  H&H settled a case  brought by the local  municipality  in
regard to this  site in 1998 and also  settled  with  certain  of its  insurance
carriers. H&H is actively remediating the property and continuing to investigate
the most  effective  methods for achieving  compliance  with the ACO. A remedial
investigation  report  was  filed  with  the  NJDEP  in May of  2006.  Once  the
investigation has been completed, it will be followed by a feasibility study and
a remedial  action work plan that will be  submitted to NJDEP.  H&H  anticipates
entering into discussions in the near future with NJDEP to address that agency's
natural  resource damage claims,  the ultimate scope and cost of which cannot be
estimated at this time. The ongoing cost of  remediation is presently  estimated
at approximately  $450,000 per year, plus anticipated  additional costs in early
2007 of  approximately  $700,000.  Pursuant to a settlement  agreement  with the
former operator of this facility,  the responsibility for site investigation and
remediation  costs have been  allocated,  75% to the former  operator and 25% to
H&H. To date, total  investigation and remediation costs of $237,000 and $79,000
have been settled by the former  operator and H&H,  respectively,  in accordance
with this agreement.  Additionally,  H&H is currently being  reimbursed  through
insurance  coverage  for a portion  of those  costs for  which  the  company  is
responsible.  There is additional excess insurance coverage which H&H intends to
pursue as necessary.


                                       82


      H&H has been identified as a potentially  responsible  party ("PRP") under
the  Comprehensive  Environmental  Response,   Compensation  and  Liability  Act
("CERCLA") or similar state statutes at several sites and is a party to ACO's in
connection  with  certain  properties.  H&H may be subject to joint and  several
liabilities  imposed by CERCLA on potentially  responsible  parties.  Due to the
technical and regulatory  complexity of remedial activities and the difficulties
attendant in  identifying  potentially  responsible  parties and  allocating  or
determining  liability  among them,  H&H is unable to  reasonably  estimate  the
ultimate cost of compliance with such laws.

      In a case entitled AGERE SYSTEMS,  INC., ET AL. V. ADVANCED  ENVIRONMENTAL
TECHNOLOGY CORP., ET AL. (U.S.  District Court,  EDPA),  five companies,  all of
which are PRPs for the Boarhead Farm site in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, brought
CERCLA contribution and similar claims under  Pennsylvania's  environmental laws
against a number of companies in 2002,  including a subsidiary of H&H, which the
plaintiffs claim  contributed to the  contamination of the Boarhead Farm site. A
number of the  plaintiffs  entered  into  settlements  with several of the named
defendants and consent decrees with the Environmental  Protection Agency ("EPA")
regarding the remediation of groundwater and soil  contamination at the Boarhead
Farm site.  There are currently  nine  non-settling  defendants,  including H&H,
against which the plaintiffs are pursuing their claims.  Fact discovery has been
concluded and the parties are engaged in expert  discovery.  The plaintiffs have
already made  substantial  payments to the EPA in past  response  costs and have
themselves   incurred  costs  for  groundwater  and  soil   remediation,   which
remediation is continuing.  Plaintiffs are seeking reimbursement of a portion of
amounts  incurred  and an  allocation  of future  amounts from H&H and the other
non-settling defendants. H&H has been advised by counsel that its responsibility
for this site,  if any,  should be minimal and has  demanded  coverage  from its
insurance  carrier for any claims for which it could be held  liable.  It is not
possible to reasonably  estimate the cost of remediation or H&H's share, if any,
of the liability at this time.

      H&H received a notice letter from the EPA in August 2006  formally  naming
H&H as a PRP at the Shpack landfill superfund site in Attleboro,  Massachusetts.
H&H then  voluntarily  joined a group of ten (10)  other PRPs  (which  group has
since increased to thirteen (13)) to work cooperatively regarding remediation of
this site.  Investigative  work is ongoing to determine  whether there are other
parties  that sent  hazardous  substances  to the Shpack  site but that have not
received  notice  letters nor been named as PRPs to date.  No  allocation  as to
percentages of responsibility for any of the PRPs has been assigned or accepted;
proposed  allocations are expected to be determined during the second quarter of
2007 (although that could be extended),, at which point H&H could still withdraw
from the group.  The PRP group submitted its good faith offer to the EPA in late
October 2006. It is not anticipated that the EPA will accept or reject the PRP's
offer  until some time in 2007.  If  accepted,  it is not  anticipated  that PRP
remedial  activities at the site will begin before 2008.  The  remediation  of a
significant amount of the contamination at the site is the responsibility of the
U.S.  Army  Corps of  Engineers.  That  portion of the work has begun but is not
expected to be completed  before 2008, at which time the remaining  work will be
more clearly defined. The Company has recorded a reserve of $1.5 million in 2006
in connection with this matter.

      As discussed above, H&H has existing and contingent  liabilities  relating
to environmental matters,  including capital expenditures,  costs of remediation
and potential  fines and penalties  relating to possible  violations of national
and state  environmental  laws. H&H has substantial  remediation  expenses on an
ongoing basis,  although such costs are continually  being readjusted based upon
the  emergence of new  techniques  and  alternative  methods.  In addition,  the
Company has insurance  coverage  available for several of these  matters.  Based
upon   information   currently   available,   including   H&H's  prior   capital
expenditures, anticipated capital expenditures, and information available to H&H
on pending  judicial  and  administrative  proceedings,  H&H does not expect its
environmental compliance costs, including the incurrence of additional fines and
penalties,  if  any,  relating  to the  operation  of its  facilities  to have a
material  adverse  effect on the  financial  position,  but there can be no such
assurances. Such costs could be material to H&H's results of operations and cash
flows. We anticipate that H&H will pay such amounts out of its working  capital,
although there is no assurance that H&H will have  sufficient  funds to pay such
amounts. In the event that H&H is unable to fund these liabilities, claims could
be made  against WHX for  payment of such  liabilities.  As further  information
comes  into  the  Company's  possession,  it  will  continue  to  reassess  such
evaluations.

OTHER LITIGATION

      H&H or its  subsidiaries  are a defendant in numerous  cases  pending in a
variety of jurisdictions relating to welding emissions.  Generally,  the factual
underpinning of the plaintiffs'  claims is that the use of welding  products for
their ordinary and intended  purposes in the welding process causes emissions of
fumes  that  contain  manganese,  which is toxic to the  human  central  nervous
system.  The  plaintiffs  assert that they were  over-exposed  to welding  fumes
emitted  by  welding  products  manufactured  and  supplied  by  H&H  and  other
co-defendants.  H&H denies  liability and is defending these actions.  It is not
possible  to  reasonably  estimate  H&H's  exposure  or  share,  if any,  of the
liability at this time.

      In addition to the  foregoing  cases,  there are a number of other product
liability,  exposure,  accident,  casualty and other  claims  against H&H or its
subsidiaries in connection  with a variety of products sold by its  subsidiaries
over  several  years,  as well as  litigation  related  to  employment  matters,
contract matters,  sales and purchase transactions and general liability claims,
many of which arise in the ordinary  course of  business.  It is not possible to
reasonably  estimate H&H's  exposure or share,  if any, of the liability at this
time.


                                       83


      There is insurance coverage available for many of these actions, which are
being litigated in a variety of jurisdictions. To date, H&H has not incurred and
does not believe it will incur any  significant  liability with respect to these
claims, which it contests vigorously in most cases. However, it is possible that
the  ultimate  resolution  of such  litigation  and claims could have a material
adverse effect on quarterly or annual results of operations,  financial position
and cash flows when they are resolved in future periods.

PENSION PLAN CONTINGENCY ARISING FROM THE WPC GROUP BANKRUPTCY

      Wheeling-Pittsburgh  Corporation  ("WPC")  and  six  of  its  subsidiaries
(collectively  referred to as the "WPC  Group"),  including  Wheeling-Pittsburgh
Steel Corporation ("WPSC"), a vertically integrated  manufacturer of value-added
and flat  rolled  steel  products,  was a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of WHX.  On
November 16, 2000, the WPC Group filed a petition seeking  reorganization  under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States  Bankruptcy  Code. A Chapter 11 Plan
of Reorganization for the WPC Group (the "WPC POR") was consummated on August 1,
2003,  pursuant  to which,  among  other  things,  the WPC Group  ceased to be a
subsidiary of WHX effective  August 1, 2003, and from that date forward has been
an independent company.

      As part of the WPC POR, the Company  agreed to make certain  contributions
(the  "WHX   Contributions")   to  the  reorganized   company.   Under  the  WHX
Contributions,  the Company  forgave the repayment of its claims against the WPC
Group of  approximately  $39.0  million and,  additionally,  contributed  to the
reorganized company $20.0 million of cash, for which the Company received a note
in the amount of $10.0 million. The note was fully reserved upon receipt.

      On  March  6,  2003,  the  PBGC  published  its  Notice  of  Determination
("Notice") and on March 7, 2003 filed a Summons and Complaint  ("Complaint")  in
United States  District Court for the Southern  District of New York seeking the
involuntary  termination  of the WHX Pension  Plan (the "WHX  Plan"),  a defined
benefit pension plan sponsored by the Company that provides  pension benefits to
active and retired  employees of WHX and H&H and certain  benefits to active and
retired  employees  of  members  of the WPC  Group.  WHX filed an answer to this
complaint on March 27, 2003, contesting the PBGC's action. On July 24, 2003, the
Company  entered into an agreement  among the PBGC,  WPC,  WPSC,  and the United
Steelworkers of America,  AFL-CIO-CLC ("USWA") in settlement of matters relating
to the PBGC V. WHX  CORPORATION,  Civil  Action  No.  03-CV-1553,  in the United
States  District  Court  for the  Southern  District  of New York  ("Termination
Litigation"), in which the PBGC was seeking to terminate the WHX Plan. Under the
settlement,  among  other  things,  WHX agreed  (a) that the WHX Plan,  as it is
currently  constituted,  is a single  employer  pension plan,  (b) to contribute
funds to the WHX Plan equal to moneys spent (if any) by WHX or its affiliates to
purchase  WHX  10.5%  Senior  Notes  ("Senior  Notes")  in  future  open  market
transactions,  and (c) to grant to the PBGC a pari passu security interest of up
to $50.0  million in the event WHX  obtains  any future  financing  on a secured
basis or provides any security or collateral for the Senior Notes.

      Also under the  settlement,  all parties  agreed that as of the  effective
date of the WPC POR,  (a) no shutdowns  had occurred at any WPC Group  facility,
(b) no member of the WPC Group is a  participating  employer under the WHX Plan,
(c)  continuous  service for WPC Group  employees  was broken,  (d) no WPC Group
employees will become  entitled to "Rule of 65" or "70/80"  Retirement  Benefits
(collectively,  "Shutdown  Benefits")  by reason of events  occurring  after the
effective  date of the WPC POR, and (e) the WHX Plan would provide for a limited
early retirement option to allow up to 650 WPSC  USWA-represented  employees the
right to receive retirement benefits based on the employee's years of service as
of  July  31,  2003  with a  monthly  benefit  equal  to $40  multiplied  by the
employee's years of service.

      Finally,  under  the  settlement,  the PBGC  agreed  (a)  that,  after the
effective  date of the WPC POR, if it  terminates  the WHX Plan at least one day
prior  to a WPC  Group  facility  shutdown,  WHX  shall  be  released  from  any
additional  liability to PBGC resulting  from the shutdown,  (b) to withdraw its
claims in the WPC  Bankruptcy  Proceedings,  and (c) to dismiss the  Termination
Litigation.

      The agreement  with the PBGC also contains the provision that WHX will not
contest a future action by the PBGC to terminate the WHX Plan in connection with
a future WPC Group facility shutdown.  In the event that such a plan termination
occurs,  the PBGC has agreed to  release  WHX from any  claims  relating  to the
shutdown. However, there may be PBGC claims related to unfunded liabilities that
may exist as a result of a termination of the WHX Plan.

NOTE 17 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      On October 26, 2005, WHX CS Corp. ("CS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company,  entered into a Stock Purchase  Agreement with Steel.  Pursuant to that
agreement, CS sold 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Steel  Shares") to Steel.  Steel paid a purchase price of $5,100 per
share or an aggregate  purchase  price of $5.1 million.  The Steel Shares accrue
dividends at 6.0%  ($306,000)  per annum.  The Steel Shares were  required to be
redeemed by CS for $5.1 million plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on October
26, 2006 or, at the sole option of the Board of  Directors of CS, on any earlier
date.  However,  there was no such redemption on that date. The proceeds of this
sale were used by CS to purchase 1,898,337 shares of Cosine Communications, Inc.
As of December 31, 2006, $0.4 million was due to Steel for accrued  dividends on
the Steel Shares.


                                       84


      As of December 31, 2005,  the Company had two  investments  accounted  for
under the equity  method:  18.8%  ownership of the  outstanding  common stock of
Cosine  Communications  Inc. (Cosine) and 50% of the outstanding common stock of
H&H Mfg.  (Singapore).  These  investments  are  presented in other  non-current
assets.  The  Company  accounts  for Cosine  under the equity  method  because a
related party (Steel) owns an additional 30% of the outstanding common stock and
indirectly has the ability to exercise control. The investment balance of Cosine
Communications  at  December  31, 2006 was $4.2  million and as of December  31,
2005,  was $5.1  million.  As of December 31, 2006,  the Company  wrote down the
carrying value of its investment in Cosine by $0.8 million to equal 18.8% of the
net assets of Cosine as of that date.  At  December  31,  2006  Cosine had total
assets of $23.0  million,  including  cash,  cash  equivalents,  and short  term
investments  of  $22.9  million,   current   liabilities  of  $0.6  million  and
stockholders' equity of $22.4 million. Cosine reported sales of $1.4 million and
net income of $0.4  million for the year ended  December  31,  2006.  The market
value of the  Company's  investment  in Cosine as of December  31, 2006 was $6.3
million.  The investment  balance of H&H Mfg at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $
4.0 million and $4.1 million,  respectively.  During 2006,  the Company sold its
investment  in H&H Mfg.  (Singapore)  for  proceeds of $0.6  million in cash and
settlement of intercompany liabilities,  and recorded a gain on the sale of $0.2
million.

      On September 8, 2005,  H&H completed the  assignment of its  approximately
$70.6  million  Term B  Loan  from  Canpartners,  to  Steel  Partners  II,  L.P.
("Steel"), as agent and lender. Substantially all of the terms and conditions of
the Term B Loan continued without  amendment.  Steel is the beneficial holder of
5,029,793 shares of the Company's common stock,  representing  approximately 50%
of the  outstanding  shares.  As of December 31,  2006,  $9.8 million of accrued
interest was owed to Steel in connection  with the Term B loan.  Interest is not
expected to be paid in cash to Steel  pursuant  to the terms of a  Subordination
Agreement  between  Steel  and  Wachovia.  Mr.  Warren  Lichtenstein,  the  sole
executive  officer and managing  member of Steel Partners,  L.L.C.,  the general
partner of Steel Partners II, L.P., is the Chairman of the Board of the Company.

      Mr. Glen Kassan, an Executive Vice President with Steel Partners Ltd., was
appointed Chief Executive Officer of WHX on October 7, 2005. In 2005, Mr. Kassan
received no compensation.  In 2006, the Compensation Committee approved a salary
of $600,000 per annum for Mr. Kassan, effective January 1, 2006.

      A current member of the Company's Board of Directors,  Mr. Garen W. Smith,
owns 49% of  Abundance  Corp.,  which had a consulting  agreement  with WHX that
terminated  in February of 2005.  Abundance  Corp.  was paid  $200,000 per annum
under the terms of the consulting  agreement.  Fees of $212,699 and $23,555 were
incurred for services performed in 2004 and 2005.

      During the period  January 1, 2004 to December 31,  2006,  the Company was
billed $2.7  million in legal fees for services  performed by Olshan,  Grundman,
Frome,  Rosenzweig  &  Wolosky  LLP  ("Olshan"),  a law  firm in  which a former
director  of the  Company  is a retired  partner.  The  director  resigned  upon
emergence  from  bankruptcy in July 2005. As of December 31, 2006,  $1.0 million
was payable to Olshan for services rendered and billed.

      The former Chairman of the Board of the Company,  Mr. Ronald Labow, is the
president and sole  shareholder of WPN Corp.  ("WPN").  On February 1, 2004, WPN
entered into an Investment  Consulting  Agreement  with the Company on behalf of
the WHX Pension Plan Trust  pursuant to which WPN would manage the assets of the
WHX Pension Plan Trust. Under the Agreement, WPN is paid by the WHX Pension Plan
Trust  0.525%  per year of the amount of the assets  under  management.  The WHX
Pension Plan Trust  Agreement was  negotiated by a board  committee  composed of
independent  directors,   which  committee  recommended  the  approval  of  such
Investment   Consulting  Agreement  to  the  full  board,  which  approved  such
agreement.

NOTE 19 - REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

      The  Company has three  reportable  segments:  (1)  Precious  Metal.  This
segment  manufactures  and  sells  precious  metal  products  and  electroplated
material, containing silver, gold, and palladium in combination with base metals
for use in a wide variety of industrial  applications;  (2) Tubing. This segment
manufactures and sells tubing products and fabrications primarily from stainless
steel,  carbon  steel  and  specialty  alloys,  for  use  in a wide  variety  of
industrial  applications;  (3) Engineered  Materials.  This segment manufactures
specialty roofing and construction fasteners,  products for gas, electricity and
water  distribution  using steel and plastic which are sold to the  construction
and  natural  gas  and  water  distribution  industries,  and  electrogalvanized
products used in the construction and appliance industries.

      Management  has  determined  that  certain  operating  segments  should be
aggregated  and presented  within a single  reporting  segment on the basis that
such operating  segments have similar economic  characteristics  and share other
qualitative  characteristics.  Management  reviews  gross  profit and  operating
income to evaluate  segment  performance.  Operating  income for the  reportable
segments  excludes  unallocated  general  corporate  expenses.  Other income and
expense,  interest expense,  and income taxes are not presented by segment since
they are  excluded  from the  measure of segment  profitability  reviewed by the
Company's management.

NOTE 21 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On April 12, 2007, Steel Partners II, L.P.  ("Steel"),  a Delaware limited
partnership,  and  WHX  entered  into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement  whereby  WHX
acquired  Steel's entire interest in BZ Acquisition  Corp.  ("BZA"),  a Delaware
corporation  and  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Steel (the "BZA  Transfer")  for
$10.00.  In addition,  WHX agreed to reimburse all reasonable  fees and expenses
incurred by Steel in  connection  with the Offer and the Merger (each as defined
below). BZA is the acquisition subsidiary in a tender offer to acquire up to all
of  the  outstanding  stock  of  Bairnco  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation
("Bairnco") for $13.50 per share in cash. Steel  beneficially owns approximately
50.3% of WHX's outstanding common stock.

      Steel, BZA, and Bairnco entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
as of February 23, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement"),  pursuant to which BZA amended
its tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Bairnco at a
price of $13.50  per share in cash  (the  "Offer").  In  addition,  all  Bairnco
shareholders  of record on March 5, 2007 continued to be entitled to receive the
declared first quarter  dividend of $0.10 per share,  for total cash proceeds of
$13.60 per share.  On April 13, 2007,  upon the expiration of the Offer pursuant
to the Merger  Agreement,  BZA acquired  approximately  88.9% of the outstanding
common stock of Bairnco.

      Pursuant to the Merger  Agreement,  on April 24, 2007, BZA was merged with
and into Bairnco with  Bairnco  continuing  as the  surviving  corporation  as a
wholly owned  subsidiary of WHX (the  "Merger").  At the  effective  time of the
Merger,  each Bairnco common share then outstanding  (other than shares owned by
BZA or its direct parent  entity,  shares owned by Bairnco as treasury stock and
shares held by stockholders  who properly  exercise their appraisal  rights) was
automatically  converted  into the  right to  receive  $13.50  per share in cash
without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes.  Immediately prior
to the  Merger,  BZA held  approximately  90.1%  of the  outstanding  shares  of
Bairnco.  The  proceeds  required  to fund  the  closing  of the  Offer  and the
resulting Merger and to pay related fees and expenses were approximately  $101.5
million.


                                       89


      In  connection  with the  closing  of the  Offer,  initial  financing  was
provided by Steel through two facilities.  Steel extended to BZA bridge loans in
principal amount of approximately $75.1 million, $1.4 million, and $10.0 million
(and  may  extend  additional  loans of  approximately  $3.6  million,  up to an
aggregate  total amount of borrowings of $90.0  million)  pursuant to a Loan and
Security  Agreement (the "Bridge Loan Agreement"),  between BZA and Bairnco,  as
borrowers,  and Steel,  as lender.  In addition,  Steel  extended to WHX a $15.0
million  subordinated  loan, which is unsecured at the WHX level,  pursuant to a
Subordinated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Subordinated Loan Agreement" and,
together with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the "Loan Agreements"), between WHX, as
borrower,  and Steel, as lender.  WHX contributed the $15.0 million  proceeds of
the subordinated loan to BZA as a capital contribution.

      The Bridge  Loan  Agreement  provides  for bridge  term loans of up to $90
million  from  Steel to BZA,  which  were  assumed by Bairnco as a result of the
Merger.  Borrowings  under the Bridge Loan Agreement bear (i) cash interest at a
rate per annum  equal to the prime  rate of JP Morgan  Chase plus 1.75% and (ii)
pay-in-kind interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.5% for the first 90 days the
initial  loan is  outstanding  and 5%  (instead  of 4.5%) for the balance of the
term, each as adjusted from time to time. The minimum aggregate interest rate on
borrowings  under the Bridge Loan  Agreement is 14.5% per annum for the first 90
days the initial loan is  outstanding,  and 15% (instead of 14.5%) per annum for
the balance of the term, and the maximum  aggregate  interest rate on borrowings
under the Bridge Loan Agreement is 18% per annum. The cash interest rate and the
pay-in-kind  interest  rate may be adjusted  from time to time,  by agreement of
Steel and  Bairnco,  so long as the  aggregate  interest  rate remains the same.
Interest  is  payable  monthly in  arrears.  Obligations  under the Bridge  Loan
Agreement are guaranteed by certain of Bairnco's  subsidiaries  and secured by a
junior lien on the assets of Bairnco and certain of its subsidiaries and capital
stock of certain of Bairnco's  subsidiaries.  Obligations  under the Bridge Loan
Agreement  are  also  guaranteed  by the  Company  on an  unsecured  basis.  The
scheduled  maturity date of the indebtedness  under the Bridge Loan Agreement is
the earlier to occur of (i) June 30, 2008 and (ii) such time as Bairnco  obtains
any replacement  financing.  Indebtedness under the Bridge Loan Agreement may be
prepaid without penalty or premium.

      The Subordinated  Loan Agreement  provides for a subordinated term loan of
$15 million from Steel to WHX,  which is unsecured at the WHX level.  Borrowings
under the Subordinated  Loan Agreement bear  pay-in-kind  interest at a rate per
annum equal to the prime rate of JP Morgan Chase plus 7.75%,  adjusted from time
to time,  with a minimum  interest rate of 16% per annum and a maximum  interest
rate of 19% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Obligations under
the  Subordinated  Loan  Agreement are  guaranteed by Bairnco and certain of its
subsidiaries  and  collateralized  by a junior lien on the assets of Bairnco and
certain  of  its   subsidiaries  and  capital  stock  of  certain  of  Bairnco's
subsidiaries. The indebtedness under the Subordinated Loan Agreement will mature
on the second  anniversary of the issuance of the  subordinated  loan and may be
prepaid without penalty or premium.

      The  Loan  Agreements  contain  customary   representations,   warranties,
covenants,  events of default and indemnification  provisions.  The indebtedness
under  the  Bridge  Loan  Agreement  and  the  related  security   interests  is
subordinated to the indebtedness and related  security  interests  granted under
Bairnco's  existing  senior  credit  facility  with Bank of  America,  N.A.  The
guarantees of the  indebtedness  under the  Subordinated  Loan Agreement and the
related  security  interests is  subordinated to all  indebtedness  and security
interests described in the preceding sentence.

      Bairnco's  revolving credit facility ("Bairnco Revolving Credit Facility")
with Bank of America,  N.A. ("Bank of America") permits distributions by Bairnco
to WHX under certain  conditions,  as described  below.  In connection  with the
closing  of the  Offer  and the  Merger  on April  24,  2007,  Bairnco  became a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of WHX. The  availability  under the Bairnco  Revolving
Credit Facility on March 31, 2007 was approximately $12.0 million.

      On November  9, 2006,  Bairnco  entered  into a five year,  $42.0  million
Senior Secured Credit Facility with Bank of America.  The $42.0 million facility
is apportioned as follows: a five-year $15.0 million term loan and up to a $27.0
million  revolving  credit  facility,  including a $13.0  million  sub-limit for
letters of credit and a $3.0 million  sub-limit for foreign  currency loans. The
Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility  is  collateralized  by  a  first  lien  on
substantially  all of the  domestic  assets of  Bairnco,  the  capital  stock of
domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries.  The
Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility  matures on November 8, 2011.  This Bairnco
Revolving  Credit Facility was amended on March 23, 2007 to permit the change of
control in connection with the closing of the Offer, among other things, and was
further  amended on April 24, 2007 to amend certain  covenants and to permit the
financing under the Loan Agreements, among other things.

      The term loan under the Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility has scheduled
principal  payments  of $1.1  million  in 2007,  2008,  2009 and 2010,  and $1.0
million in 2011,  with the balance due at maturity.  Interest  rates vary on the
term  loan  and are set  from  time to time in  relationship  to one of  several
reference  rates,  as selected by Bairnco.  Interest rates vary on the revolving


                                       90


credit  notes and are set at the time of  borrowing  in  relationship  to one of
several reference rates as selected by Bairnco.  A commitment fee is paid on the
unused  portion of the total credit  facility.  The amount Bairnco can borrow at
any given time is based upon a formula  that takes  into  account,  among  other
things,  eligible  inventory  and  accounts  receivable,  which  can  result  in
borrowing  availability  of less than the full amount of the  Bairnco  Revolving
Credit  Facility.  The Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility  contains  customary
representations,  warranties,  covenants  (including  a  covenant  that  permits
Bairnco to make  distributions  to WHX provided that  specified  conditions  are
met), events of default and  indemnification  provisions.  The Bairnco Revolving
Credit  Facility also contains a financial  covenant which  requires  Bairnco to
meet a minimum fixed charge  coverage  ratio,  including upon the payment of any
distribution from Bairnco to WHX.

      In addition,  Bairnco has a China  foreign  loan  facility  that  reflects
borrowing by its Chinese  facilities through Bank of America,  Shanghai,  China,
which is secured by four U.S. dollar denominated letters of credit totaling $5.2
million issued under the Secured Credit Facility.

      Bairnco  operates two core  businesses - Arlon and Kasco.  Arlon  designs,
manufactures,  and sells engineered materials and components for the electronic,
industrial  and  commercial  markets.  Kasco is a leading  provider of meat-room
products and maintenance services for meat and deli departmetns of supermarkets;
restaurants;  meat,  poultry and fish processing  plants;  and manufacturers and
distributors of electrical saws and cutting equipment  throughout North America,
Europe,  Asia and South  America.  WHX believes that the  acquisition of Bairnco
will be beneficial  because of Bairnco's  strong  positions in niche  engineered

ITEM  9.  CHANGES  IN AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON  ACCOUNTING  AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

            On  January  17,  2007,  WHX  dismissed  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP
("PwC") as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon the
completion by PwC of its  procedures  regarding:  (i) the Company's  2004 Annual
Report on Form 10-K;  and (ii) the  financial  statements  of the  Company as of
March 31, 2005 and for the quarter then ended,  the financial  statements of the
Company as of June 30, 2005 and for the quarter and six-month periods then ended
and the financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2005 and for the
quarter and  nine-month  periods then ended and the Forms 10-Q for 2005 in which
each of the above described financial statements will be included.  The decision
to dismiss PwC was approved by the Company's Audit Committee.

      The  reports of PwC on the  financial  statements  of the  Company for the
fiscal  years ended  December  31, 2005 and 2004,  and the reports of PwC on the
financial  statements  included  herein did not contain  any adverse  opinion or
disclaimer  of opinion and were not  qualified  or  modified as to  uncertainty,
audit  scope  or  accounting  principle,  except  for an  explanatory  paragraph
disclosing  substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.

      During the fiscal  years  ended  December  31,  2005,  2004 and 2003,  and
through the date of this  filing,  there were no  disagreements  with PwC on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure  which, if not resolved to the  satisfaction of PwC,
would  have  caused  them to make  reference  thereto  in their  reports  on the
financial statements for such years.

      During the fiscal  years  ended  December  31,  2005,  2004 and 2003,  and
through the date of this filing,  there were no "reportable events" as that term
is described in Item  304(a)(1)(v)  of Regulation S-K, other than as reported in
Item 9A of its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      On January 22, 2007, the Company  engaged Grant Thornton LLP ("GT") as the
Company's  independent  registered public  accountant.  The engagement of GT was
approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.  During the
years ended December 31, 2005,  2004 and 2003 and through  January 22, 2007, the
Company did not consult  with GT with respect to either (i) the  application  of
accounting principles to a specified transaction,  either completed or proposed;
(ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial
statements;  or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of disagreement (as
defined in Item  304(a)(1)(iv)  of  Regulation  S-K) or a  reportable  event (as
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

      EVALUATION  OF  DISCLOSURE  CONTROLS AND  PROCEDURES.  As required by Rule
13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  (the "Exchange
Act")  we  conducted  an  evaluation   under  the   supervision   and  with  the
participation of our management,  including the Chief Executive  Officer and the
Chief Financial  Officer,  of the  effectiveness of our disclosure  controls and
procedures  as of the end of the period  covered by this  report.  Based on that
evaluation we identified certain material  weaknesses in our disclosure controls
and procedures  (discussed below), and the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2006 our disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective in ensuring that all  information  required to
be  disclosed  in  reports  that we file or  submit  under the  Exchange  Act is
recorded,  processed,  summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC  rules  and  forms  and that  such  information  is  accumulated  and
communicated to our management,  including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer,  in a manner that allows timely decisions  regarding required
disclosure.

      Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses  discussed below,
the  Company's   management  has  concluded  that  the  consolidated   financial
statements  included in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects,
the Company's financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows for the
interim and annual  periods  presented in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

      Although  we are not  currently  required  to  assess  and  report  on the
effectiveness  of our internal  control  over  financial  reporting  under Rules
13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange  Act,  management  is required to evaluate the
effectiveness  of our disclosure  controls and procedures  under Rule 13a-15(b).
Because of its inherent limitations,  internal controls over disclosure controls
and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of  effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that such
controls may become  inadequate  because of changes in  conditions,  or that the
degree  of  compliance  with  such   disclosure   controls  and  procedures  may
deteriorate.

      A material  weakness is a control  deficiency,  or  combination of control
deficiencies  that  results  in more than a remote  likelihood  that a  material


                                       92


misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected. As of December 31, 2006, we have concluded that the Company did not
maintain  effective  disclosure  controls and  procedures  due to the  following
material weaknesses:

            (a) We did not  maintain  active  supervision  over  the  accounting
            functions at certain of our operating subsidiaries.

            (b) We did not  maintain a sufficient  number of  personnel  with an
            appropriate  level of  knowledge,  experience  and  training  in the
            application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate
            with the Company's global financial  reporting  requirements and the
            complexity of our operations and transactions.

      These  weaknesses  resulted in or could  result in  conditions  that would
cause  material  adjustments  to the  financial  statements  for the year  ended
December 31, 2006 including: the application of SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets," the completeness of the Company's
environmental remediation reserves, treatment of the Rabbi trust, capitalization
of leases,  revenue recognition,  and differences between foreign and US GAAP as
it applies to certain international subsidiaries.

PLANS FOR REMEDIATION

The Company has taken the following  actions to address the material  weaknesses
noted above:

      o     Increased the Company's accounting and financial resources by hiring
            a Senior Vice President, an Assistant Controller,  a Treasurer and a
            Director  of  Budgeting  and  Financial  Analysis,  and  retaining a
            regional  accounting firm of certified public  accountants to assist
            financial management in addressing various accounting matters;

      o     Increased  the  level  of  review  and  discussion  on  complex  and
            judgmental accounting matters;

      o     Improved controls regarding timely  communication of all significant
            events to management and the Board of Directors; and

      o     Enhanced the monthly  financial  reporting to senior  management and
            the Board.

Additional actions planned by management include:

      o     Initiating  processes  and  procedures to better  document  employee
            responsibilities,   including   transaction  review  and  monitoring
            activities;

      o     The  engagement  of a third  party  resource  to support our review,
            documentation  and  testing  of the  effectiveness  of our  internal
            control over financial reporting under the Section 404 provisions of
            the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and

      o     Reviewing  and  modifying  the  nature and scope of  internal  audit
            activities.

      Management will consider the design and operating  effectiveness  of these
actions and will make additional  changes it determines  appropriate.  We cannot
assure you that the measures we have taken,  or will take,  to  remediate  these
material  weaknesses  will  be  effective  or that  we  will  be  successful  in
implementing  them before  December 31, 2007 or December 31, 2008,  the dates on
which  the  Company  and its  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm,
respectively,  must first report on the  effectiveness  of our internal  control
over financial  reporting under the Section 404 provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act.

      Internal  control over disclosure  controls and procedures,  no matter how
well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those internal controls
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to
financial  statement  preparation and presentation.  We will continue to improve
the design and  effectiveness  of our disclosure  controls and procedures to the
extent  necessary  in the future to provide  our senior  management  with timely
access to such material information, and to correct any deficiencies that we may
discover in the future.

      Our management report on internal control over financial reporting for the
year ended  December  31, 2005  described  material  weaknesses  in our internal
control over financial  reporting  which have been remediated as of December 31,
2006,  including  effective  controls over (1) the maintenance of  appropriately
designed  and  documented  company  wide  policies,  (2) the  maintenance  of an
effective anti-fraud program designed to detect and prevent fraud, including (i)
an  effective  whistle-blower  program,  and (ii) an  ongoing  program to manage
identified  fraud risks,  (3) the  accuracy,  valuation  and  disclosure  of our
goodwill  and  intangible  asset  accounts and the related  impairment  expenses
accounts,  (4) the accounting for income taxes,  including the  completeness and
accuracy of income taxes payable,  deferred  income tax assets,  liabilities and
related  valuation  allowances and the income tax provision,  (5) the accounting
for  derivative  instruments  and hedging  activities  related to precious metal
inventory,  and (6) the preparation and review of the consolidated  statement of
cash flow.

      These  material  weaknesses  continued to exist as of the end of the first
three quarters of 2006. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we completed the updating
of  the   Company's   accounting   policies  and   procedures,   including   our
whistle-blower  program and our program to manage  identified  fraud  risks,  to
ensure such  accounting  policies and procedures  were complete and current.  We
engaged third party  valuation  firms to assist  management in the evaluation of
goodwill and other  intangible  assets and to assist us in the  determination of
any related  impairments.  We engaged a regional  accounting  firm of  certified
public accountants to assist the company in the completeness and accuracy of its
accounting for income taxes. We account for our derivative  instruments  related
to precious metal  separately  from our precious metal  inventory.  Our controls
over the  preparation  of the  statement of cash flows have been enhanced by the
addition of accounting and finance  personnel  along with increased  review over
all accounting  matters. In connection with these efforts and in connection with
the evaluation of internal controls  described above,  management has determined
that these  material  weaknesses  have been  remediated as of December 31, 2006.
Management  considers the  remediation of these material  weaknesses  during our
quarter  ended  December  31, 2006 to  represent  a change  that has  materially
affected,  or is reasonably  likely to materially  affect,  our internal control
over financial reporting.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

      Section  16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the  Company's  directors  and
officers,  and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of its equity
securities,  to file reports of ownership  and changes in ownership  (typically,
Forms 3, 4 and/or 5) of such equity  securities  with the SEC and  Nasdaq.  Such
entities are also required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies
of all such Section 16(a) reports.

      Based solely on a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished
to the Company and written  representations that no Form 5 or amendments thereto
were required,  the Company  believes that during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2006, its directors and officers,  and greater than 10%  beneficial  owners,
have complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

      The Company has a  separately  standing  Audit  Committee  established  in
accordance  with Section 3(a) (58) (A) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934.
The Audit  Committee has a charter,  a current copy of which is available on the
Company's website, www.whxcorp.com. The members of the Audit Committee are Louis
Klein Jr. and Garen W. Smith.  Each of Messrs.  Klein and Smith are non-employee
members of the Board.  After reviewing the qualifications of the current members
of the Audit  Committee,  and any  relationships  they may have with the Company
that might affect their independence from the Company,  the Board has determined
that (1) all current Audit Committee  members are  "independent" as that concept
is defined in Section 10A of the Exchange Act, (2) all current  Audit  Committee
members are  financially  literate,  and (3) Mr.  Klein  qualifies  as an "audit
committee  financial expert" under the applicable rules promulgated  pursuant to
the Exchange  Act. The Audit  Committee met six times and did not take action by
unanimous written consent during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

      This compensation  discussion and analysis describes the material elements
of compensation  awarded to, earned by or paid to each of our executive officers
who served as named executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2006. This compensation  discussion focuses on the information  contained in the
following  tables and related  footnotes  and  narrative  for primarily the last
completed fiscal year, but we also describe compensation actions taken before or
after  the  last  completed  fiscal  year to the  extent  that it  enhances  the
understanding  of  our  executive  compensation  disclosure.   The  Compensation
Committee  currently  oversees the design and  administration  of our  executive
compensation program.

      Our  current  executive   compensation   program  includes  the  following
principal   components:   (i)  base  salary,  (ii)  discretionary   annual  cash
performance-based incentives, (iii) severance payments, and (iv) perquisites and
other compensation.  In addition,  it is contemplated that from 2007 and onwards
our  executive  compensation  program will include stock option grants and other
equity incentives.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES

      The objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

      o     Attract,  motivate  and retain  talented and  experienced  executive
            officers;

      o     Ensure   officer   compensation   is  aligned  with  our   corporate
            strategies,  business  objectives and the long-term interests of our
            stockholders; and

      o     Reward our executive  officers with incentives so we can retain them
            and provide stability for the Company as we grow.

      To achieve these objectives,  our overall compensation program aims to pay
our named  executive  officers  competitively,  consistent  with our success and
their contribution to that success.  To accomplish this we provide  compensation
in the form of cash.  Stockholder approval of the Company's 2007 Incentive Stock
Plan is being  sought,  which if approved,  would permit us to offer options and
other equity incentives in the future.  Although our Compensation  Committee has
not adopted any formal guidelines for allocating total compensation between cash
and  equity,  and in  2006  the  issuance  of  equity  was  not  available,  the
Compensation  Committee considers the practices of comparable  companies,  while
also  considering  the  balance  between  providing  short-term  incentives  and
long-term  parallel  investment  with  stockholders  to align the  interests  of
management with stockholders.


                                       96


DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION AWARDS

      Our  Compensation  Committee  is provided  with the primary  authority  to
determine the compensation  awards available to our executive  officers.  To aid
the  Compensation  Committee in making its  determination,  our Chief  Executive
Officer  provides   recommendations   annually  to  the  Compensation  Committee
regarding the compensation of all executive officers, excluding himself.

      The  Compensation  Committee has the sole authority to determine our Chief
Executive Officer's compensation. The performance of our Chief Executive Officer
is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee.

COMPENSATION BENCHMARKING AND PEER GROUP

      We have  engaged a  compensation  consultant  to review our  policies  and
procedures  with  respect  to  executive  compensation,   and  the  Compensation
Committee  has  considered  its  findings in setting  compensation  levels.  Our
Compensation Committee also informally considers competitive market practices by
reviewing publicly available  information  relating to compensation of executive
officers at other comparable companies.

ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION

      The principal elements of our executive compensation are:

      o     base salary;

      o     discretionary annual cash performance-based incentives;

      o     long-term incentive plan awards;

      o     severance benefits; and

      o     perquisites and other compensation.

BASE SALARIES

      Base salary is used to recognize  the  experience,  skills,  knowledge and
responsibilities  required of all our employees,  including our named  executive
officers.  All of our named executive  officers,  other than our Chief Executive
Officer,  are subject to employment  agreements,  and accordingly  each of their
compensation  has been  determined as set forth in their  respective  agreement.
When  establishing  base  salaries for 2006,  subject to the  provisions of each
person's  employment  agreement,   the  Compensation  Committee  and  management
considered a number of factors,  including the seniority of the individual,  the
functional role of the position,  the level of the individual's  responsibility,
the ability to replace the  individual,  the base  salary of the  individual  at
their prior employment and the number of well qualified candidates to assume the
individual's role. Generally,  we believe that executive base salaries should be
targeted  near the median of the range of  salaries  for  executives  in similar
positions at comparable companies.

DISCRETIONARY ANNUAL CASH PERFORMANCE-BASED INCENTIVES

      Our  Compensation  Committee  approves the annual cash incentive award for
our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and each  other  named  executive  officer.  Our
Compensation  Committee's  determination,  other than with  respect to the Chief
Executive  Officer,  is  generally  based  upon our  Chief  Executive  Officer's
recommendations.

      Our  Compensation  Committee  has  adopted  a  Short-Term  Incentive  Plan
("STIP")  with two  components,  a return on  invested  capital  ("ROIC")  based
component and a component based on the achievement of pre-determined  individual
objectives.  Based  on  the  determination  of  the  objectives  under  the  two
components,  the  maximum  percentage  of base  salary that may be earned by the
named executive officers is 100%. STIP bonuses earned will be paid annually.  No
STIP bonus will be paid if either component is below a predetermined threshold.

      In  addition,  our  Compensation  Committee  has the  authority  to  award
discretionary  annual bonuses to our executive officers in the form of cash. The
annual  bonuses,  if any, are  intended to  compensate  officers for  individual
performance,  for our overall financial  performance and for achieving important
milestones.  Bonuses  for 2006 for Ms.  Harmon and Mr.  Hynes in the  respective
amounts of $130,000 and $100,000 were awarded as discretionary bonuses under the
STIP.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

      In 2006, WHX did not have a long-term incentive plan.


                                       97


      For our named  executive  officers,  our proposed  stock option program is
based  on  grants  that  will be  individually  negotiated  in  connection  with
employment agreements and other grants to our executives.  Stock options provide
a relatively  straightforward  incentive for our  executives  and result in less
immediate dilution of existing stockholders' interests.

      No stock option  grants were made to any of the named  executive  officers
during the fiscal year ended  December  31,  2006.  No options  were held by the
named executive  officers as of December 31, 2006.  Stockholder  approval of the
Company's  2007  Incentive  Stock Plan is being  sought so that the  Company may
begin to issue stock options to its directors, officers, employees,  consultants
and advisors in the future. It is contemplated that, if approved,  the following
grants of options will be made to our named executive officers: Robert K. Hynes,
options to acquire 25,000 shares of the Company;  Daniel P. Murphy, Jr., options
to  acquire  100,000  shares of the  Company;  and Ellen T.  Harmon,  options to
acquire 25,000 shares of the Company.

      The  proposed  stock  option  grants  described  above are required in the
Acknowledgement  and Release  Agreements  entered into with  Messrs.  Murphy and
Hynes (as described below) and in the employment  agreement  entered into by and
among the Company,  H&H and Ms. Harmon.  In each case, the options were required
to be granted by a certain date  (December  31, 2006 in the case of Mr.  Murphy,
June 30, 2006 in the case of Mr.  Hynes,  and  September 30, 2006 in the case of
Ms.  Harmon),  or "phantom"  options were to have been issued.  To date, no such
"phantom" options have been issued.

SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS

      We provide the opportunity for certain of our named executive  officers to
be protected under the severance and change in control  provisions  contained in
their employment  agreements.  We provide this opportunity to attract and retain
an appropriate  caliber of talent for the position.  Our severance and change in
control  provisions for our named  executive  officers are  summarized  below in
"Potential  Payments upon  Termination  or  Change-in-Control."  We believe that
these severance and change in control  benefits are an essential  element of our
executive  compensation  and  assist us in  recruiting  and  retaining  talented
executives.

PERQUISITES AND OTHER COMPENSATION

      We provide the  opportunity  for our named  executive  officers  and other
executives  to receive  certain  perquisites  and  general  health  and  welfare
benefits. For the last completed fiscal year, we provided the following personal
benefits and  perquisites to certain of our named  executives  officers:  health
insurance,  automobile allowance or company car, life and disability  insurance,
401(k) plan,  golf club  membership,  financial,  estate and tax  planning,  and
various other matters.

OTHER PAYMENTS

      Pursuant to  Acknowledgement  and Release  Agreements,  dated November 10,
2005, each of Messrs.  Murphy and Hynes agreed to remain with the Company in the
period after the  Company's  emergence  from  bankruptcy  in July 2005.  Each of
Messrs.  Murphy and Hynes agreed to remain an employee of the Company through at
least March 31, 2006 in  consideration  for (i) a cash bonus of $250,000 paid on
March  31,  2006  to  Mr.  Murphy,  and  $250,000  to  Mr.  Hynes,   payable  in
installments,  the last of which vest upon filing of the  Company's  2004 Annual
Report  on Form  10-K and  Quarterly  Reports  on Form  10-Q for  2005,  (ii) an
increase in the life insurance levels provided in the H&H  Post-Retirement  Life
Insurance  Program  and (iii) the grant to  Messrs.  Murphy and Hynes of 100,000
options and 25,000  options,  respectively,  to purchase  Common  Stock upon our
adoption of a stock  option  plan.  As  previously  stated,  these  options were
required to be granted by certain  dates that have passed or  "phantom"  options
were to have been issued.  To date, no such "phantom"  options have been issued.
In addition,  each of Messrs Murphy and Hynes provided a release to the Company.
These payments were  attributed to Messrs.  Murphy's and Hynes'  compensation in
2005.

NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE TO SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

      The compensation paid to the named executive  officers includes salary and
non-equity incentive compensation.  In addition, each named executive officer is

contribution program.

      In 2006,  salaries and bonuses  accounted for  approximately  99% of total
compensation  for our  principal  executive  officer  and 94% on average for our
other named executive officers.

$600,000  per  annum for Mr.  Kassan  effective  January  1,  2006.  There is no

Acknowledgement  and Release Agreement provided a release to the Company by such

Acknowledgement  and Release  Agreements  entered into with  Messrs.  Murphy and
Hynes were required, in each case, to be granted by a certain date (December 31,
2006 in the case of Mr. Murphy and June 30, 2006 in the case of Mr.  Hynes),  or
"phantom"  options were to have been issued. No such "phantom" options have been
issued.

automatically  extended  on  February  6,  2007  until  February  6,  2008,  and
thereafter  will  automatically  be further  extended  for  successive  one-year
periods unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms. Ms. Harmon's employment
agreement  provides  for an annual base salary of  $260,000,  25,000  options to
purchase  Common Stock upon adoption of a stock option plan, and an annual bonus
to be awarded at the Company's sole discretion. The proposed stock option grants
described  above were required to be granted by September 30, 2006, or "phantom"
options were to have been issued. No such "phantom" options have been issued.

a one-year  employment  agreement  with each of the Company and H&H effective on
March  1,  2007,  and  which  by the  terms of the  employment  agreement,  will

addition,  the employment  agreement provides for the grant of 50,000 options to
purchase Company Common Stock upon the Company's adoption of a stock option plan

life insurance,  disability insurance and 401(k) benefits,  if and to the extent
provided to executives of either WHX or H&H.

      As Mr.  McCabe's  employment  did not  commence  until March 1, 2007,  Mr.
McCabe is not a named executive officer of the Company for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006.

      See "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control" for further
discussion on termination,  retirement and  change-in-control  provisions of the
employment agreements.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR A CHANGE IN CONTROL

      ROBERT K. HYNES. In the event that either of the following occurs: (i) the
Company terminates Mr. Hynes'  employment,  other than with cause and other than
due to his death or disability, or (ii) Mr. Hynes elects termination following a
reduction in his annual base salary, a relocation of the Company's  headquarters
more than 50 miles  from New York,  New York,  or a failure  by the  Company  to
obtain a  satisfactory  agreement  from a  successor  to assume  the  employment
agreement,  and the  Company  fails to cure such  events  within  30 days  after
receipt of written notice from Mr. Hynes, he or his personal  representative  or
estate,  as applicable,  will receive a payment of one-year's base salary at the
highest  rate in effect  for the  twelve  preceding  months  plus any bonus plan
compensation  that has been  accrued and he will also be entitled to receive the

benefits from a subsequent employer, if earlier.


                                       100


      In the event that the Company terminates Mr. Hynes' employment for conduct
that is materially injurious to the Company, for any act that constitutes fraud,
misappropriation, embezzlement or a felony, or Mr. Hynes' material breach of his
employment agreement, Mr. Hynes will receive his base salary through the date of
termination and the Company will have no further obligation to Mr. Hynes.

      DANIEL P. MURPHY,  JR. In the event that either of the  following  occurs,
Mr.  Murphy will  receive a payment of two years' base salary at the base salary

      The WHX Pension Plan, a defined benefit plan, provides benefits to certain
current  and  former  employees  of the  Company  and  its  current  and  former
subsidiaries, H&H and Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation.

      In 2005, the WHX Pension Plan was amended to freeze  benefit  accruals for
all hourly non-bargained and salaried H&H plan participants and to close the WHX
Pension Plan to future entrants.  The only  participants who continue to receive
benefit  accruals  are  approximately  260 active  employees  who are covered by
collective bargaining agreements.

      The WHX  Pension  Plan  provides  for  annual  benefits  following  normal
retirement  at  various  normal  retirement  ages,  under a variety  of  benefit
formulas  depending  on the  covered  group.  The  bargained  participants  earn
benefits under a service multiplier  arrangement that varies based on collective
bargaining agreements. For all other participants, the frozen benefits are based
on either multiplier  arrangements for hourly-paid  participants or a percentage
of final average earnings formula for salaried participants.

      The WHX  Pension  Plan  provides  benefits  to two of the named  executive
officers,  Messrs. Hynes and Murphy. For purposes of H&H salaried  participants,
such as Messrs.  Hynes and Murphy,  "compensation"  includes  base salary earned
prior to December  31,  2005.  The WHX Pension  Plan does not include any amount
payable as a bonus,  commission,  overtime premium, shift differential,  reward,
prize or any type of  compensation  other than regular fixed salary or wage. The
annual limit on  compensation  has been adjusted in accordance with Code Section
401(a)(17)(B)  which allowed for maximum  compensation  of $210,000 in plan year
2005,  earnings  in years  thereafter  are not  included in the  calculation  of
benefits  under the WHX  Pension  Plan.  Prior to January 1, 2006,  certain  H&H
executives,  including Messrs. Hynes and Murphy, earned benefits under the Handy
&  Harman  SERP.  The  SERP  restored   benefits  lost  due  to  the  401(a)(17)
compensation  limit and included  into the  definition of  compensation,  25% of
annual Management Incentive Plan awards.

      The WHX Pension  Plan  provides  for early  retirement  under a variety of
eligibility rules pertinent to each covered group. Early retirement benefits are
the  retirement  income that would be applicable at normal  retirement,  reduced
either  by a fixed  factor  per  month  or on an  actuarial  equivalence  basis,
depending on the covered group.  Mr. Hynes is the only named  executive  officer
meeting the requirements needed to take early retirement,  without reduction per
the  applicable  schedule  of the WHX Pension  Plan.  The normal form of payment
under the WHX Pension Plan also varies,  but is a straight life annuity for most
participants  and  a  ten-year   certain  and  life  annuity  for  others.   The
Wheeling-Pittsburgh  Steel  Corporation  bargained  participants earn a straight
life  annuity  under a 414(k)  arrangement  and have  the  option  to take up to
$10,000 of their defined contribution plan assets as a lump sum.

      The  foregoing  table shows years of credited  service,  present  value of
accumulated  benefit  payable by the Company,  and payments  made by the Company
during the last  fiscal year for each named  executive  officer.  The  valuation
method and material  assumptions  applied in  quantifying  the present  value of
accumulated  benefit  are  set  forth  in Note 7 to the  Company's  Consolidated
Financial  Statements contained in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

      No securities have been issued or are authorized for issuance under equity
compensation plans.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

      The following table shows the beneficial ownership of shares of our Common
Stock as of April 5, 2007, held by:

      o     Each person who beneficially owns 5% or more of the shares of Common
            Stock then outstanding;

      o     Each of our directors;

      o     Each of our named executive officers;

      o     All of our directors and executive officers as a group.

      The information in this table reflects  "beneficial  ownership" as defined
in  Rule  13d-3  of  the  Exchange  Act.  In  computing  the  number  of  shares
beneficially  owned by a person and the  percentage  ownership  of that  person,
shares of Common Stock subject to options, if any, held by that person that were
exercisable  on April 5, 2007 or would be  exercisable  within 60 days following
April  5,  2007  are  considered  outstanding.  Such  shares,  however,  are not
considered  outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of
any  other  person.  To our  knowledge  and  unless  otherwise  indicated,  each
stockholder has sole voting power and investment power over the shares listed as
beneficially owned by such stockholder, subject to community property laws where
applicable.  Percentage  ownership is based on 10,000,498 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of April 5, 2007. Unless otherwise listed in the table below, the
address of each such beneficial owner is c/o WHX Corporation, 555 Theodore Fremd
Avenue, Rye, New York 10580.

      The Audit Committee's policy is to pre-approve services to be performed by
the  Company's  independent  public  accountants  in  the  categories  of  audit
services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Additionally,
the Audit  Committee will consider on a case-by-case  basis and, if appropriate,
approve  specific  engagements  that are not otherwise  pre-approved.  The Audit
Committee has approved all fees and advised us that it has  determined  that the
non-audit  services  rendered  by PwC during  our most  recent  fiscal  year are
compatible with maintaining the independence of such auditors.

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders
WHX Corporation

We  have  audited  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of the  Public  Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) the consolidated financial statements
of WHX Corporation and  Subsidiaries,  as of and for the year ended December 31,
2006,  referred to in our report dated May 14, 2007, which is included in Item 8
of this Form 10-K. Our report on the consolidated  financial statements includes
an explanatory paragraph, which discusses the change in the method of accounting
for the Company's  pension and post retirement  obligations in 2006 as discussed
in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.  Our audit was conducted for
the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial  statements  taken as a
whole. The schedules listed in Item 15(b)(1) and Item 15(b)(2) are presented for
purposes  of  additional  analysis  and are  not a  required  part of the  basic
financial statements. These schedules, as of and for the year ended December 31,
2006, have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic  financial  statements  and,  in our  opinion,  are  fairly  stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
                        ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of WHX Corporation:

      Our audits of the  consolidated  financial  statements  as of December 31,
2005 and for each of the two years in the period  ended  December  31, 2005 (the
"2005  consolidated  financial  statements")  referred  to in our  report  dated
December 14, 2006  appearing in the 2006 Annual  Report to  Shareholders  of WHX
Corporation (which report and consolidated  financial statements are included in
Item 8 of this Form  10-K) also  included  an audit of the  financial  statement
schedules as of December 31, 2005 and for the two-year  period ended on December
31,  2005  listed in Item 15(b) (1) and Item 15(b) (2) (the "2005  Schedules")of
this Form 10-K.  In our  opinion,  the 2005  Schedules  present  fairly,  in all
material  respects,  the  information set forth therein when read in conjunction
with the related consolidated financial statements.

      As  discussed in Note 1 to the WHX  Corporation  (Parent  Only)  financial
statements  as of December 31, 2005  included in the annual  report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the "2005 WHX Financial Statements"),  the
2003  consolidated  financial  statements and the 2003 WHX financial  statements
have been restated.

      The accompanying WHX financial  statements as of December 31, 2005 and for
each of the two years in the period ended  December 31, 2005 have been  prepared
assuming that WHX Corporation  ("WHX") will continue as a going concern. As more
fully  described in Note 1 to the 2005 WHX Financial  Statements,  WHX had their
plan of reorganization (the "Plan") approved by the bankruptcy court and emerged
from  bankruptcy  effective July 29, 2005. The Plan resulted in the discharge of
all  pre-bankruptcy  claims against WHX, except for its liability to its pension
plan,  and  substantially  altered the rights and  interests of equity  security
holders.  WHX is a holding  company  with no bank  facility of its own and since
emerging from bankruptcy has not had access to dividends from its only operating
subsidiary,  Handy & Harman  ("H&H").  Additionally,  H&H's credit  facility was
scheduled  to  mature  on March 31,  2007 and H&H has also  experienced  certain
liquidity  issues,  as more fully  described in Note 1 to the 2005 WHX Financial
Statements.  WHX has as its principal  source of cash certain  limited  discrete
transactions and has significant cash requirements  including the funding of the
WHX Pension Plan and certain other administrative  costs. If WHX does not obtain
additional  liquidity,  it is likely that WHX will not have  sufficient  cash to
continue to operate  through 2007 and pay its  liabilities as they become due in
the normal course of business.  These conditions raise  substantial  doubt about
the ability of WHX to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard
to  these  matters  are  also  described  in Note 1 to the  2005  WHX  Financial
Statements.  The 2005 WHX Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the  recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND

      BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

      The WHX Corporation (Parent Only) ("WHX") financial statements include the
accounts of all  subsidiary  companies  accounted for under the equity method of
accounting.  Certain information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles  ("GAAP")  have been  condensed  or  omitted.  These WHX parent  only
financial  statements  are prepared on the same basis of  accounting  as the WHX
consolidated  financial  statements,   except  that  the  WHX  subsidiaries  are
accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  For a complete description
of the  accounting  policies and other required GAAP  disclosures,  refer to the
Company's audited consolidated  financial statements for the year ended December
31,  2006  contained  in Item 8 of this Form 10-K (the  "consolidated  financial
statements").

      WHX is a holding  company that has been structured to invest in and manage
a group of businesses. Its primary subsidiary company is Handy & Harman ("H&H"),
a diversified  manufacturing  company whose  strategic  business units encompass
three  segments:   precious  metals,  tubing,  and  engineered  materials.   WHX
Corporation,  together with all of its  subsidiaries,  are referred to herein as
"the Company." In April 2007, WHX acquired Bairnco Corporation ("Bairnco").  See
Note 6 - Subsequent Event.

      MANAGEMENT'S PLANS AND LIQUIDITY:

      WHX incurred net losses of $18.2 million, $34.7 million and $140.4 million
for the years  ended  December  31,  2006,  2005 and 2004,  respectively  and an
accumulated deficit of $412.1 million as of December 31, 2006.

      In March 2005, WHX filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. Following WHX's emergence from bankruptcy in July
2005, it continued to experience  liquidity issues. WHX is a holding company and
has  as  its  sole  source  of  cash  flow   distributions  from  its  operating
subsidiaries, H&H and Bairnco (see Note 6 - Subsequent Event), or other discrete
transactions.  H&H's bank credit  facilities  and term loan  effectively  do not
permit it to transfer  any cash or other assets to WHX,  (with the  exception of
unsecured loans to be used to make required  contributions  to the pension plan,
and for other uses of an unsecured loan in the aggregate principal amount not to
exceed  $3.5  million  under  certain  conditions),  and are  collateralized  by
substantially all of H&H's assets. Bairnco's revolving credit facility with Bank
of  America,  N.A.  permits  distributions  by  Bairnco  to  WHX  under  certain
conditions,  as described in Note 6. WHX has no bank credit facility of its own.
WHX's ongoing  operating cash flow  requirements  consist of funding the minimum
requirements of the WHX Pension Plan and paying other administrative costs.

      Since  emerging from  bankruptcy,  due to covenant  restrictions  in H&H's
credit  facilities,  there have been no dividends  from H&H to WHX, and the sole
sources of cash flow for WHX have consisted of:

            o     the  issuance of $5.1  million in  preferred  stock by a newly
                  created  subsidiary (WHX CS Corp.) in October 2005,  which was
                  invested   in  the   equity  of  a  public   company   (Cosine
                  Communications, Inc.), and

            o     partial  payment of the H&H  subordinated  debt to WHX of $9.0
                  million,   which   required   the   approval   of  the   banks
                  participating  in the H&H bank  facility.  Subsequent  to this
                  transaction,  in 2006, the remaining intercompany subordinated
                  debt balance of $44.2 million was converted to equity.

            o     As permitted by the March 29, 2007 Amendment and Waiver to the
                  Loan and Security  Agreements,  an unsecured loan from H&H for
                  required  payments to the pension plan,  and for other uses of
                  an unsecured  loan in the  aggregate  principal  amount not to
                  exceed $3.5 million under certain conditions.

            o     A $15.0  million  subordinated  loan from Steel  pursuant to a
                  Subordinated  Loan and  Security  Agreement  between  WHX,  as
                  borrower,  and Steel,  as lender.  WHX used the $15.0  million
                  proceeds of the subordinated loan as a capital contribution to
                  acquire Bairnco.

      As of December 31, 2006, WHX and its unrestricted subsidiaries had cash of
approximately  $0.8  million  and  current  liabilities  of  approximately  $7.5
million,  including  $5.1 million of  mandatorily  redeemable  preferred  shares
payable  to a related  party.  H&H's  availability  under its  revolving  credit
facility and other  facilities  as of December 31, 2006 was $19.1  million.  All
such facilities,  including the term loans, were set to expire on March 31, 2007
(although by amendment  signed on March 29, 2007,  were extended  until June 30,
2008).

      In  connection  with the  closing of the  Bairnco  Offer and the Merger on
April 24, 2007 (see Note 6), Bairnco  became a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of WHX.
Initial financing was provided by Steel through two facilities,  as discussed in
Note 6, in the approximate aggregate amount of $101.5 million. In addition,  the
Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility  was  amended to permit the  closing of the
Merger and related financing  transactions.  The availability  under the Bairnco
Revolving Credit Facility on March 31, 2007 was approximately $12.0 million. The
Bairnco Revolving Credit Facility permits  distributions by Bairnco to WHX under
certain conditions, as described in Note 6.

      Additional  information  regarding  liquidity  issues  at WHX  and H&H are
described in Note 1A to the consolidated financial statements.


                                      F-6


      The following paragraphs describe  management's plans and liquidity of the
Company  which  includes  WHX, H&H and its other  subsidiaries.  However,  WHX's
access to cash flow from H&H is limited by H&H's March 29, 2007 amendment to the
loan and security agreement to i) an unsecured loan for required payments to the
pension plan, under certain conditions, and ii) an unsecured loan for other uses
in the  aggregate  principal  amount not to exceed $3.5  million  under  certain
conditions.

      As  discussed  further  below,  the Company  believes  that recent new and
amended  financing  arrangements,  acquisitions,  the IRS  Waiver  and the  PBGC
Settlement  Agreement,  the sale of a  non-essential  operating unit, as well as
recent improvements in its core operations,  and the substantial completion of a
major  remediation  of property  relating to certain  environmental  liabilities
should  permit the Company to generate  sufficient  working  capital to meet its
obligations  as they  mature  over the next  twelve  months.  The ability of the
Company to meet its cash  requirements  over this time period is  dependent,  in
part, on the Company's  ability to meet its business plan.  Management  believes
that  existing  capital  resources  and  sources  of credit,  including  the H&H
facilities  and the  Bairnco  facilities,  are  adequate to meet its current and
anticipated cash requirements.  The Company also continues to examine all of its
options  and  strategies,   including  acquisitions,   divestitures,  and  other
corporate transactions, to increase cash flow and stockholder value. However, if
the Company's  cash needs are greater than  anticipated  or the Company does not
materially  satisfy  its  business  plan,  the  Company  may be required to seek
additional or alternative financing sources. There can be no assurance that such
financing will be available or available on terms acceptable to the Company.

      As  more  fully  described  in  the  specific  notes  to  these  financial
statements,  the Company has taken the following  actions which it believes will
improve liquidity and help provide for adequate  liquidity to fund the Company's
capital needs for the next twelve months.

  o   On December 20, 2006,  the IRS granted a  conditional  waiver of the $15.5
      million minimum funding  requirement for the WHX Pension Plan for the 2005
      plan year and on December  28, 2006,  WHX,  H&H, and the PBGC entered into
      the PBGC  Settlement  Agreement  in  connection  with the IRS  Waiver  and
      certain other matters.  As a result of the PBGC  Settlement  Agreement and
      the IRS Waiver, based on estimates from WHX's actuary, the Company expects
      its  minimum  funding  requirement  for the  specific  plan  year  and the
      amortization of the 2005  requirement to be $13.1 million (paid in full in
      2006), $10.8 million,  $11.0 million,  $8.9 million, $7.0 million and $2.3
      million  (which  amounts   reflect  the  recent  passage  of  the  Pension
      Protection  Act of  2006) in  2006,  2007,  2008,  2009,  2010  and  2011,
      respectively.

  o   Availability  under H&H's Loan and Security  Agreements'  revolving credit
      facility as of December  31, 2006 was $19.1  million,  and as of March 31,
      2007,  was  approximately  $15.5  million.  On March  29,  2007,  all such
      facilities, including the term loans, were amended to (i) redefine EBITDA,
      (ii) reset the levels and amend certain of the financial covenants,  (iii)
      extend the termination  date of the credit  facilities from March 31, 2007
      to June 30, 2008,  (iv) permit the extension by H&H to WHX of an unsecured
      loan for required payments to the pension plan, under certain  conditions,
      and (v) permit the extension by H&H to WHX of an unsecured  loan for other
      uses in the  aggregate  principal  amount not to exceed $3.5 million under
      certain conditions.

  o   Following  the closing of the Bairnco  Merger,  upon the  satisfaction  of
      certain conditions,  Bairnco is permitted to make distributions to WHX. As
      of March  31,  2007,  availability  under  the  Bairnco  Revolving  Credit
      Facility was approximately  $12.0 million,  although there is no assurance
      that such amount will be available in the future,  or if  available,  that
      Bairnco will satisfy the conditions for distributing this amount to WHX.

  o   The  acquisition by a subsidiary of H&H of a mechanical  roofing  fastener
      business  for  approximately  $26  million,  including  a working  capital
      adjustment,  on December  28,  2006,  which we believe  will prove to be a
      valuable  acquisition  which will  solidify  H&H's  position  as a leading
      manufacturer  and  supplier  of  mechanical  fasteners,   accessories  and
      components,  and building  products for the North American  commercial and
      residential construction industry.

  o   The  sale in  March  2007  of a  non-core  business  which  had  generated
      operating losses in the past year.

  o   The substantial  completion of remediation of property relating to certain
      environmental liabilities.

      In view of the matters described in the preceding  paragraphs,  management
believes  that the  Company  and WHX have the  ability to meet  their  financing
requirements  on a  continuing  basis.  However,  if the  Company's  fiscal 2007
planned  cash  flow  projections  are not met,  management  could  consider  the
reduction of certain  discretionary  expenses and sale of certain assets. In the
event that these plans are not  sufficient and the Company's  credit  facilities
are not available, the Company's and WHX's ability to operate could be adversely
affected.

      In 2004,  WHX loaned  $43.5  million to H&H (the  "Subordinated  Note") to
repay, in part, its then-existing credit facilities.  Such loan was subordinated
to the new  financing  agreements.  On  March  31,  2006,  H&H  entered  into an
amendment to one of the term loans which,  among other things,  provided for the
payment  of $9.0  million  from  H&H  towards  the  outstanding  balance  of the
Subordinated Note. Subsequent to this transaction,  the remaining balance of the
Subordinated Note was converted to equity.

      In 2002, WHX agreed to provide additional funds to the WPC Group (a former
subsidiary) amounting to $20.0 million. On August 1, 2003, WHX contributed $20.0
million in cash to WPSC,  a  subsidiary  of WPC,  and  received a $10.0  million
subordinated note from WPSC. This note was fully reserved in 2003. In July 2004,
WHX  realized  $5.6  million  upon the sale of the  note to a third  party  and,
accordingly,  the reserve was  reversed  and $5.6  million was recorded in other
income in 2004.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      Concurrently  with the March 31, 2004 refinancing of H&H, WHX loaned $43.5
million to H&H to repay,  in part, the Senior Secured  Credit  Facilities.  Such
loan was subordinated to the loans from Wachovia and  Canpartners.  In addition,
WHX  deposited  $5.0  million  of cash  with  Ableco as  collateral  for the H&H
obligation. All of the cash collateral was returned to WHX prior to December 31,
2004.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On April 12, 2007, Steel Partners II, L.P.  ("Steel"),  a Delaware limited
partnership,  and  WHX  entered  into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement  whereby  WHX
acquired  Steel's entire interest in BZ Acquisition  Corp.  ("BZA"),  a Delaware
corporation  and  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Steel (the "BZA  Transfer")  for
$10.00.  In addition,  WHX agreed to reimburse all reasonable  fees and expenses
incurred by Steel in  connection  with the Offer and the Merger (each as defined
below). BZA is the acquisition subsidiary in a tender offer to acquire up to all
of  the  outstanding  stock  of  Bairnco  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation
("Bairnco") for $13.50 per share in cash. Steel  beneficially owns approximately
50.3% of WHX's outstanding common stock.

      Steel, BZA, and Bairnco entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
as of February 23, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement"),  pursuant to which BZA amended
its tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Bairnco at a
price of $13.50  per share in cash  (the  "Offer").  In  addition,  all  Bairnco
shareholders  of record on March 5, 2007 continued to be entitled to receive the
declared first quarter  dividend of $0.10 per share,  for total cash proceeds of
$13.60 per share.  On April 13, 2007,  upon the expiration of the Offer pursuant
to the Merger  Agreement,  BZA acquired  approximately  88.9% of the outstanding
common stock of Bairnco.

      Pursuant to the Merger  Agreement,  on April 24, 2007, BZA was merged with
and into Bairnco with  Bairnco  continuing  as the  surviving  corporation  as a
wholly owned  subsidiary of WHX (the  "Merger").  At the  effective  time of the
Merger,  each Bairnco common share then outstanding  (other than shares owned by
BZA or its direct parent  entity,  shares owned by Bairnco as treasury stock and
shares held by stockholders  who properly  exercise their appraisal  rights) was
automatically  converted  into the  right to  receive  $13.50  per share in cash
without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes.  Immediately prior
to the  Merger,  BZA held  approximately  90.1%  of the  outstanding  shares  of
Bairnco.  The  proceeds  required  to fund  the  closing  of the  Offer  and the
resulting Merger and to pay related fees and expenses were approximately  $101.5
million.


                                      F-8


      In  connection  with the  closing  of the  Offer,  initial  financing  was
provided by Steel through two facilities.  Steel extended to BZA bridge loans in
principal amount of approximately $75.1 million, $1.4 million, and $10.0 million
(and  may  extend  additional  loans of  approximately  $3.6  million,  up to an
aggregate  total amount of borrowings of $90.0  million)  pursuant to a Loan and
Security  Agreement (the "Bridge Loan Agreement"),  between BZA and Bairnco,  as
borrowers,  and Steel,  as lender.  In addition,  Steel  extended to WHX a $15.0
million  subordinated  loan, which is unsecured at the WHX level,  pursuant to a
Subordinated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Subordinated Loan Agreement" and,
together with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the "Loan Agreements"), between WHX, as
borrower,  and Steel, as lender.  WHX contributed the $15.0 million  proceeds of
the subordinated loan to BZA as a capital contribution.

      The Bridge  Loan  Agreement  provides  for bridge  term loans of up to $90
million  from  Steel to BZA,  which  were  assumed by Bairnco as a result of the
Merger.  Borrowings  under the Bridge Loan Agreement bear (i) cash interest at a
rate per annum  equal to the prime  rate of JP Morgan  Chase plus 1.75% and (ii)
pay-in-kind interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.5% for the first 90 days the
initial  loan is  outstanding  and 5%  (instead  of 4.5%) for the balance of the
term, each as adjusted from time to time. The minimum aggregate interest rate on
borrowings  under the Bridge Loan  Agreement is 14.5% per annum for the first 90
days the initial loan is  outstanding,  and 15% (instead of 14.5%) per annum for
the balance of the term, and the maximum  aggregate  interest rate on borrowings
under the Bridge Loan Agreement is 18% per annum. The cash interest rate and the
pay-in-kind  interest  rate may be adjusted  from time to time,  by agreement of
Steel and  Bairnco,  so long as the  aggregate  interest  rate remains the same.
Interest  is  payable  monthly in  arrears.  Obligations  under the Bridge  Loan
Agreement are guaranteed by certain of Bairnco's  subsidiaries  and secured by a
junior lien on the assets of Bairnco and certain of its subsidiaries and capital
stock of certain of Bairnco's  subsidiaries.  Obligations  under the Bridge Loan
Agreement  are  also  guaranteed  by the  Company  on an  unsecured  basis.  The
scheduled  maturity date of the indebtedness  under the Bridge Loan Agreement is
the earlier to occur of (i) June 30, 2008 and (ii) such time as Bairnco  obtains
any replacement  financing.  Indebtedness under the Bridge Loan Agreement may be
prepaid without penalty or premium.

      The Subordinated  Loan Agreement  provides for a subordinated term loan of
$15 million from Steel to WHX,  which is unsecured at the WHX level.  Borrowings
under the Subordinated  Loan Agreement bear  pay-in-kind  interest at a rate per
annum equal to the prime rate of JP Morgan Chase plus 7.75%,  adjusted from time
to time,  with a minimum  interest rate of 16% per annum and a maximum  interest
rate of 19% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Obligations under
the  Subordinated  Loan  Agreement are  guaranteed by Bairnco and certain of its
subsidiaries  and  secured by a junior lien on the assets of Bairnco and certain
of its subsidiaries and capital stock of certain of Bairnco's subsidiaries.  The
indebtedness  under the  Subordinated  Loan  Agreement will mature on the second
anniversary of the issuance of the subordinated  loan and may be prepaid without
penalty or premium.

      The  Loan  Agreements  contain  customary   representations,   warranties,
covenants,  events of default and indemnification  provisions.  The indebtedness
under  the  Bridge  Loan  Agreement  and  the  related  security   interests  is
subordinated to the indebtedness and related  security  interests  granted under
Bairnco's  existing  senior  credit  facility  with Bank of  America,  N.A.  The
guarantees of the  indebtedness  under the  Subordinated  Loan Agreement and the
related  security  interests is  subordinated to all  indebtedness  and security
interests described in the preceding sentence.


                                      F-9


      On November  9, 2006,  Bairnco  entered  into a five year,  $42.0  million
Senior Secured Credit Facility with Bank of America.  The $42.0 million facility
is apportioned as follows: a five-year $15.0 million term loan and up to a $27.0
million  revolving  credit  facility,  including a $13.0  million  sub-limit for
letters of credit and a $3.0 million  sub-limit for foreign  currency loans. The
Bairnco  Revolving  Credit Facility is secured by a first lien on  substantially
all  of  the  domestic  assets  of  Bairnco,   the  capital  stock  of  domestic
subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of foreign  subsidiaries.  The Bairnco
Revolving  Credit Facility  matures on November 8, 2011. This Bairnco  Revolving
Credit Facility was amended on March 23, 2007 to permit the change of control in
connection  with the closing of the Offer,  among other things,  and was further
amended on April 24, 2007 to amend certain covenants and to permit the financing
under the Loan Agreements, among other things.

      The term loan under the Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility has scheduled
principal  payments  of $1.1  million  in 2007,  2008,  2009 and 2010,  and $1.0
million in 2011,  with the balance due at maturity.  Interest  rates vary on the
term  loan  and are set  from  time to time in  relationship  to one of  several
reference  rates,  as selected by Bairnco.  Interest rates vary on the revolving
credit  notes and are set at the time of  borrowing  in  relationship  to one of
several reference rates as selected by Bairnco.  A commitment fee is paid on the
unused  portion of the total credit  facility.  The amount Bairnco can borrow at
any given time is based upon a formula  that takes  into  account,  among  other
things,  eligible  inventory  and  accounts  receivable,  which  can  result  in
borrowing  availability  of less than the full amount of the  Bairnco  Revolving
Credit  Facility.  The Bairnco  Revolving  Credit  Facility  contains  customary
representations,  warranties,  covenants  (including  a  covenant  that  permits
Bairnco to make  distributions  to WHX provided that  specified  conditions  are
met), events of default and  indemnification  provisions.  The Bairnco Revolving
Credit  Facility also contains a financial  covenant which  requires  Bairnco to
meet a minimum fixed charge  coverage  ratio,  including upon the payment of any
distribution from Bairnco to WHX.

      In addition,  Bairnco has a China  foreign  loan  facility  that  reflects
borrowing by its Chinese  facilities through Bank of America,  Shanghai,  China,
which is secured by four U.S. dollar denominated letters of credit totaling $5.2
million issued under the Secured Credit Facility.

      Bairnco  operates two core  businesses - Arlon and Kasco.  Arlon  designs,
manufactures,  and sells engineered materials and components for the electronic,
industrial  and  commercial  markets.  Kasco is a leading  provider of meat-room
products  and  maintenance  services  for  the  meat  and  deli  departments  of
supermarkets;  restaurants;  meat,  poultry  and  fish  processing  plants;  and
manufacturers   and  distributors  of  electrical  saws  and  cutting  equipment
throughout North America,  Europe, Asia and South America. WHX believes that the
acquisition of Bairnco will be beneficial  because of Bairnco's strong positions
in niche engineered  materials markets, and that it will improve Bairnco's plant
level operations,  profit margins and working capital. The results of operations
and  assets of Bairnco  will be  included  in the  financial  statements  of WHX
beginning in the second quarter of 2007.
