                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

      This Form 8-K/A amends WHX Corporation's (the  "Company")Form  8-K/A dated
April 13, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission on August 14,
2007 ("Amendment No. 1") in order to amend the Report of Independent  Registered
Public  Accounting  Firm and add Note 12 to the Audited  Consolidated  Financial
Statements  of Bairnco  Corporation  and  Subsidiaries  as of December 31, 2006,
which statements were included as Exhibit 99.1 thereto.

ITEM 2.01.  COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

      As  described  in the  Company's  Form 8-K dated April 13, 2007 (the "Form
8-K") and Amendment No. 1, on April 13, 2007, as a result of a tender offer (the
"Offer")  pursuant to an Agreement  and Plan of Merger (the "Merger  Agreement")
dated as of February  23, 2007 by and among Steel  Partners II, L.P., a Delaware
limited  partnership  ("Steel  Partners"),  BZ  Acquisition  Corp.,  a  Delaware
corporation   ("BZA"),   and  Bairnco   Corporation,   a  Delaware   corporation
("Bairnco"), BZA acquired approximately 88.9% of the outstanding common stock of
Bairnco. WHX acquired Steel Partners' entire interest in BZA pursuant to a Stock
Purchase  Agreement,  dated April 12, 2007, and accordingly has acquired control
of Bairnco  through its ownership of BZA. The  consideration  for each share was
$13.50 in cash.

      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.

      In  connection  with the  closing  of the  Offer,  initial  financing  was
provided by Steel through two credit  facilities.  Steel  extended to BZA bridge
loans in the 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 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.

      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
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
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  Partners
and Bairnco,  so long as the aggregate interest rate remains the same.  Interest
is payable monthly in arrears.  The obligations  under the Bridge Loan Agreement
are  guaranteed by certain of Bairnco's  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.  Obligations  under the Bridge Loan
Agreement  will also be  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.

      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.
The 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.  Following  the
Merger,  (i) the  indebtedness  under the Bridge Loan  Agreement and the related
security interests will be subordinated to the indebtedness and related security
interests  granted under Bairnco's  existing senior credit facility with Bank of
America,   N.A.,  and  (ii)  the  guarantees  of  the  indebtedness   under  the
Subordinated  Loan  Agreement  and  the  related  security   interests  will  be
subordinated  to  all  indebtedness  and  security  interests  described  in the
preceding clause (i).

      This Form  8-K/A  amends  the  aforementioned  Form 8-K by  including  the
financial statements and exhibits set forth under Item 9.01.
