Acquired companies are presented from their dates of acquisition (see Note 2 – “Acquisitions”). Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for businesses that have been disposed of are removed from the results of the Company's continuing operations and classified as discontinued operations for each period presented in the Company's consolidated income statement. Similarly, the assets and liabilities of such businesses are reclassified from continuing operations and presented as discontinued operations for each period presented in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on an organization's operations and financial results. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of discontinued operations. The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption allowed.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and the guidance defines a five step process to achieve this core principle. The ASU is effective for the Company's 2017 fiscal year and may be applied either (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with an election for certain specified practical expedients, or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application, with additional disclosure requirements. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance, but does not currently anticipate that the application of ASU No. 2014-09 will have a significant effect on its financial condition, results of operations or its cash flows. We have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.

2. ACQUISITIONS

There were no significant acquisitions in the first six months of 2014.

2013 Acquisitions

HNH - Wolverine Joining Technologies, LLC

On April 16, 2013, HNH and its indirect subsidiary, Lucas-Milhaupt Warwick LLC (collectively, the "Buyer"), entered into an asset purchase agreement ("Purchase Agreement") with Wolverine Tube, Inc. ("Wolverine") and its subsidiary, Wolverine Joining Technologies, LLC ("Wolverine Joining" and, together with Wolverine, "Seller"), pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of the Seller used in the business of Wolverine Joining, consisting of assets used for the development, manufacturing and sale of brazing, flux and soldering products, and the alloys for electrical, catalyst and other industrial specialties, other than certain leased real property, and to assume certain liabilities related to such business. By acquiring Wolverine Joining, HNH increased its capacity to produce brazing filler metals and fluxes, and broadened its platform for continued global expansion. The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $59,700, reflecting a final working capital adjustment and certain other reductions totaling approximately $300 as provided in the Purchase Agreement. The closing of this transaction occurred on April 26, 2013. Funding of the purchase price for the acquisition was from cash on hand and borrowings under HNH's senior secured credit facility, which was amended in connection with the acquisition as discussed in Note 13 – "Debt and Capital Lease Obligations."

In connection with the acquisition of Wolverine Joining, HNH incurred employee termination charges totaling approximately $400 associated with HNH's integration activities which were primarily recorded and paid in fiscal 2013 and reflected in Selling, general and administrative expenses. The following table summarizes the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date:

(in thousands except common unit and per common unit data)

Trade and other receivables	$	9,491
Inventories	17,864

Goodwill	14,767
Other intangibles	13,657
Total assets acquired	61,409
Trade payables	(1,167		)
Accrued liabilities	(495		)
Net assets acquired	$	59,747

The goodwill of $14,767 arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies expected from combining the operations of the Buyer and Seller. All of the goodwill is assigned to SPLP's Diversified Industrial segment and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Other intangibles consist primarily of acquired trade names of $4,600 and customer relationships of $9,000. The intangible assets have been assigned 20-year useful lives based on the long operating history, broad market recognition and continued demand for the associated brands, and the limited turnover and long-standing relationships Wolverine Joining has with its existing customer base. The valuation of acquired trade names was performed utilizing a relief from royalty method, and significant assumptions used in the valuation include the royalty rate assumed and the expected level of future sales. The acquired customer relationships were valued using an excess earnings approach, and significant assumptions used in the valuation include the customer attrition rate assumed and the expected level of future sales.

HNH - PAM Fastening Technology, Inc.

On November 7, 2013, HNH, through its indirect subsidiary, OMG, Inc., acquired 100% of the stock of PAM Fastening Technology, Inc. ("PAM") for a cash purchase price of $9,200, net of cash acquired. PAM is a distributor of screw guns, collated screws and hot melt systems to the manufacturing and building industries in North America. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed included net working capital of trade receivables, inventories and trade payables; property, plant and equipment; and intangible assets, primarily trade names and customer relationships, valued at $2,500, $200 and $5,000, respectively. This acquisition provides HNH with an add on product category to its existing fastening system product line. The results of operations of the acquired business are reported within the Company's Diversified Industrial segment. In connection with the PAM acquisition, HNH has recorded goodwill totaling approximately $3,500, which is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, as well as deferred income tax liabilities associated with the acquired intangible assets of approximately $2,000.

Steel Excel - Black Hawk Acquisition

On December 16, 2013, Steel Excel acquired the business and substantially all of the assets of Black Hawk Energy Services, Inc. (“Black Hawk Inc.”), a provider of drilling and production services to the oil and gas industry, for approximately $60,800 in cash, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. The fair values recognized in 2013 in connection with this transaction were provisional pending Steel Excel's continued evaluation, including assessing any identifiable intangible assets acquired, and completing a valuation of the tangible and intangible assets. During 2014, Steel Excel recorded adjustments to the initial fair value estimates based on Steel Excel's continued assessment of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired, including a preliminary valuation. The following table summarizes the provisional fair values previously reported, the measurement period adjustments recognized in 2014, and the revised fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired.

The intangible assets acquired represented customer relationships, a trade name, and a non-compete arrangement with

estimated fair values of $11,300, $800, and $100, respectively. The intangible assets are being amortized over five-year periods. The revised amounts are subject to further revision pending Steel Excel's continued assessment of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired, including completion of the valuation and the post-closing working capital adjustment. The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013, has been revised to reflect the measurement period adjustments as if they had been recognized at the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Steel Excel - Sports Acquisitions

During 2013, Steel Excel's sports business made two acquisitions totaling $3,250 that were not material to SPLP's operations. Steel Excel has determined that one of these acquisitions is a variable interest entity and that Steel Excel is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, Steel Excel accounts for its acquisition of its 30% membership interest as a business combination and has consolidated this company in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805. 

Pro Forma Results

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 assumes that the acquisitions of Wolverine and the assets of Black Hawk Inc. were made at the beginning of 2012. This unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the acquisition had actually occurred at the beginning of 2012, or of the results that may be reported in the future. The 2013 supplemental pro forma earnings were adjusted to exclude $500 of acquisition-related costs incurred in 2013 and $500 of nonrecurring expense related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventories.

Continental Industries

In January 2013, HNH divested substantially all of the assets and existing operations of its Continental business unit, a wholly owned subsidiary of Handy & Harman ("H&H"), for a cash sales price totaling approximately $37,400 less transaction fees, reflecting a working capital adjustment of approximately $100 paid in the third quarter of 2013.

4. INVESTMENTS

A) Short-Term Investments

Marketable Securities

The Company's short-term investments primarily consist of its marketable securities portfolio held by its subsidiary, Steel Excel. These marketable securities as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, are classified as "available-for-sale" securities, with changes in fair value recognized in stockholders' equity as Other comprehensive income (loss). The classification of marketable securities as a current asset is based on the intended holding period and realizability of the investment.

The Company's portfolio of marketable securities was as follows:

	June 30, 2014											December 31, 2013
	Cost			Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair value			Cost			Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair value

The Company's investment portfolio consists of both corporate and government securities that generally mature within three years. The longer the duration of these securities, the more susceptible they are to changes in market interest rates and bond yields. As market interest rates and bond yields increase, those securities purchased with a lower yield-at-cost will be in an unrealized loss position. The Company has considered all available evidence and determined that the marketable securities in which unrealized losses were recorded in the period ended June 30, 2014 were not deemed to be other-than-temporary.

The Company sold approximately $55,200 and $95,700 of marketable securities in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. As a result the Company recorded gross realized gains of $3,196 and gross realized losses of $1,120 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and gross realized gains of $6,396 and gross realized losses of $1,329 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. These gains and losses are included in Other (income) expense, net on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investments in available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2014, by contractual maturity, were as follows:

	Cost		Estimated Fair Value
Mature in one year or less	$	—	$	—
Mature after one year through three years	229		236
Mature after three years	32,146		33,653
Total debt securities	32,375		33,889
Securities with no contractual maturities	180,372		198,309
	$	212,747	$	232,198

Fair Value Changes Recorded in Consolidated Statement of Operations

Available-for-sale securities that are classified as long-term investments also include the Company's investment in a manufacturing company. Changes in the fair value of this company are reported in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as (Loss) Income from investments held at fair value.

(B) EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

Investments in Associated Companies

The Company’s investments in associated companies are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company elected to record certain investments under the equity method at fair value beginning on the dates these investments became subject to the equity method. Associated companies are included in the Diversified Industrial, Energy or Corporate segments. Certain associated companies have a fiscal year end that differs from December 31. Additional information for each of SPLP's investments in associated companies that have impacted the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2014 or 2013 follows:

Equity Method

• CoSine is currently in the business of seeking to acquire one or more business operations. SPLP recorded $49 and $50 as its share of capital changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $363 and $362 as its share of capital changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The aggregate market value of the Company’s interest in CoSine was $9,129 and $9,894 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

• Steel Excel has an investment in a sports business and in iGo, a mobile device accessories provider company. These investments are being accounted for under the traditional equity method as associated companies.

Equity Method, At Fair Value:

• MLNK provides supply chain and logistics services to companies in consumer electronics, communications, computing, medical devices, software, luxury goods and retail. In March 2013, the Company purchased 7,500,000 shares of MLNK common stock. This investment gave the Company and its subsidiaries a combined 27.1% ownership interest in MLNK common stock.

As a result, the Company concluded that it had significant influence over the operating and financial policies of MLNK and therefore its investment is subject to the equity method of accounting. SPLP elected the fair value option to account for MLNK in order to more appropriately reflect the value of MLNK in its financial statements, and records unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Accordingly the investment, which was previously classified as an available-for-sale security, was reclassified to an associated company as of March 12, 2013. Approximately $4,800 of unrealized losses were reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive income and recorded in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

MLNK also issued the Company warrants to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares at $5.00 per share. See the "Other Investments" section of this Note for a further description of these warrants and their valuation for financial statement reporting.

• SLI is a publicly traded company that designs, manufactures and markets power electronics, motion control, power protection and specialized communication equipment.

• JPS is a U.S. manufacturer of extruded urethanes, ethylene vinyl acetates and mechanically formed glass and aramid substrate materials for specialty applications in a wide expanse of markets requiring highly engineered components. During the second quarter of 2013, JPS stockholders elected two members of SPLP's management team to their board to serve one-year terms, one of which will serve as chairman. As a result, SPLP concluded that it had significant influence over the operating and financial policies of JPS and therefore its investment was subject to the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the investment in JPS, which was previously classified as an available-for-sale security, was reclassified to an associated company as of June 30, 2013. SPLP elected the fair value option to account for JPS in order to more appropriately reflect the value of JPS in its financial statements and records unrealized gains and losses in earnings.

(in thousands except common unit and per common unit data)

• On December 15, 2013, Fox & Hound filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Bankruptcy Court approved a plan to sell the assets of Fox & Hound and the sale closed on March 12, 2014. The Company did not receive a distribution at the conclusion of the chapter 11 process. The investment in Fox & Hound was recorded under the equity method at fair value. During the third quarter of 2013 the Company wrote its investment down to zero.

• The Company has an investment in a Japanese real estate partnership. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company reclassified this investment to an associated company. SPLP elected the fair value option to account for this investment in order to more appropriately reflect the value of the investment in its financial statements and records unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Prior to the second quarter of 2013, this investment was accounted for as an investment at cost and included in Other non-current assets. In the first quarter of 2013, due to declines observed in this business, the Company recorded an impairment of $1,510, which is included in Asset impairment charges in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

• In May 2014, Steel Excel increased its holdings of the common stock of API Technologies Corp. (“API”) to 20.6%. API is a designer and manufacturer of high performance systems, subsystems, modules, and components. Effective as of that date the investment in API has been accounted for as an equity method investment using the fair value option. Steel Excel elected the fair value option to account for its investment in API in order to more appropriately reflect the value of API in its financial statements. Prior to such time the investment in API was accounted for as an available-for-sale security, and upon the change in classification the Company recognized a loss of approximately $600 that had previously been included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income.

Other Investments at Fair Value - Related Party

Other investments at fair value - related party, consist of the Company’s investment in each series of the SPII Liquidating Trust (see Note 12 – “Related Party Transactions”) accounted for under the equity method. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company received approximately $500 and $1,000 in cash distributions from Trusts D and H, respectively.

(in thousands except common unit and per common unit data)

The purpose of the SPII Liquidating Trust is to effect the orderly liquidation of certain assets previously held by Steel Partners II, L.P. ("SPII"). SPLP’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows will be affected by the extent to which the operations of the SPII Liquidating Trust results in realized or unrealized gains (losses) and by distributions it makes in each reporting period. The Company holds variable interests in each series of the SPII Liquidating Trust.

Each series of the SPII Liquidating Trust is separate and distinct with respect to its assets, liabilities and net assets. Each individual series has no liability or claim with respect to the liabilities or assets of the other series. Each series shares in the costs, assets and liabilities, if any, that are not specifically attributable to a particular series. Each series generally holds the securities related to a specific investment and cash for operating expenses of the series. The investments in the SPII Liquidating Trust are not redeemable and distributions will be received from the SPII Liquidating Trust as the underlying assets held are sold over a period which is not determinable. There are no unfunded capital commitments with respect to these investments. The fair values for the investments in the SPII Liquidating Trust have been estimated using the net asset value of such interests as reported by the SPII Liquidating Trust. The following tables provide combined summarized data with respect to the other investments - related party accounted for under the equity method, at fair value:

(C) OTHER INVESTMENTS

In connection with the acquisition of MLNK common shares in March 2013, the Company received warrants ("ModusLink Warrants") to acquire an additional 2,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The ModusLink Warrants are accounted for as an asset at fair value with changes in fair value recognized each period in Loss from investments held at fair value in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The ModusLink Warrants have a life of 5 years and were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used in the current valuation were as follows: 1) volatility of 53.6% 2) term of approximately 4 years 3) risk free interest rate of 1.62% based on the U.S. Treasury bill yield, and 4) an expected dividend of $0.

LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INVESTMENT AND PROMISSORY NOTE

Steel Excel also has other investments which include a $25,000 in cost-method investment in a limited partnership that co-invested with other private investment funds in a public company. Such investment had an approximate fair value of $33,000 at June 30, 2014, based on the net asset value included in the monthly statement it receives from the partnership. Steel Excel's other investments at June 30, 2014, also include investments in two venture capital funds totaling $500 and a promissory note with an amortized cost of $3,000, which is a reasonable approximation of fair value at June 30, 2014. These investments are reported as part of Other non-current assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(a) For additional detail of the marketable securities and long-term investments see Note 4 - "Investments."

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The types of investments included in Level 1 are listed debt and equity securities.

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Investments which are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities.

Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation and due to lack of observable inputs, the assumptions used may impact the fair value of these investments in future periods. Investments which are generally included in this category include private investments, non-exchange traded derivative contracts, and currency and interest rate swaps. For certain marketable securities, net

asset value is used which is included in quarterly statements received in arrears from two venture capital funds to determine the fair value of such funds. The fair value of certain other marketable securities are determined by incorporating and reviewing prices provided by third-party pricing services based on the specific features of the underlying securities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, investments with a fair value of $58,666 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 based upon a change in trading volume.

The fair value of the Company's financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade payables, approximate carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. Carrying cost approximates fair value for long-term debt which has variable interest rates.

The precious metal and commodity inventories associated with HNH's fair value hedges (see Note 6 – "Financial Instruments") are reported at fair value. Fair value of these inventories is based on quoted market prices on commodity exchanges and are considered Level 1 measurements. The derivative instruments that HNH purchases in connection with its precious metal and commodity inventories, specifically commodity futures and forwards contracts, are also valued at fair value. The futures contracts are Level 1 measurements since they are traded on a commodity exchange. The forward contracts are entered into with a counterparty and are considered Level 2 measurements.

Interest rate swap agreements associated with HNH's senior credit facility are considered Level 2 measurements as the inputs are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Prior to the redemption of the Subordinated Notes and related Warrants, the embedded derivative features of the Subordinated Notes and Warrants (see Note 13 – "Debt and Capital Lease Obligations") were valued at fair value on a recurring basis and were considered Level 3 measurements.

Following is a summary of changes in financial assets measured using Level 3 inputs:

Long-Term Investments - Valuation Techniques

The Company primarily uses three valuation methods to estimate the fair value of its Level 3 investments. The Company estimated the value of its investments in associated companies primarily using a discounted cash flow method adjusted for additional information related to debt covenants, solvency issues, etc. The Company estimates the value of Other investments - related party, which represents its interest in the SPII Liquidating Trust, based on the net asset value of each series of the Trust. The ModusLink Warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (for additional information see Note 4 – "Investments").

Level 3 Liabilities

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized a $184 decrease in fair value for the derivative features of the HNH Subordinated notes. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not hold any financial liabilities that are measured using Level 3 inputs.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company’s non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in 2014 and 2013 include the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions described in Note 2 – “Acquisitions”. Significant judgments and estimates are made to determine the acquisition date fair values which may include the use of appraisals, discounted cash flow techniques or other information the Company considers relevant to the fair value measurement.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Financial instruments include $26,001 and $25,090 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, of amounts payable in foreign currencies which are subject to the risk of exchange rate changes. These financial instruments resulted from transactions entered into for risk management purposes, are collateralized by an equivalent amount included in restricted cash and have no maturity date. The liabilities are accounted for at fair value on the balance sheet date with changes in fair value reported in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations included in Net investment (losses) gains. The liabilities are not designated as hedging instruments. Additional details related to the foreign currency financial instrument liabilities at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Currency	Carrying Amount		Notional Amount	Carrying Amount		Notional Amount

Pound Sterling	24,570		£14,363	23,716		£14,311
Total	$	26,001		$	25,090

(a) The financial instruments payable in foreign currencies are entered into with a counterparty and are considered Level 2 measurements. Carrying value approximates fair value.

Short Sales of Corporate Securities

In 2014, Steel Excel entered into short sale transactions on certain corporate securities in which Steel Excel received proceeds from the sale of such securities and incurred obligations to deliver such securities at a later date. Upon initially entering into such short sale transactions Steel Excel recognized obligations totaling approximately $19,341, with a comparable amount of cash and cash equivalents reclassified as restricted cash. Subsequent changes in the fair value of such obligations, determined based on the closing market price of the securities, are recognized currently as gains or losses, with a comparable adjustment made to the amount of the restricted cash. As of June 30, 2014, obligations for such transactions totaled approximately $20,010, which are reported as Financial instruments with a comparable amount reported as Restricted cash in

the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred losses totaling approximately $669, which are included as a component of Other (income) expense, net.

Precious Metal and Commodity Inventories

H&H's precious metal and commodity inventories are subject to market price fluctuations. H&H enters into commodity futures and forward contracts on its precious metal inventory and certain commodity inventory that is not subject to fixed-price contracts with its customers in order to economically hedge against price fluctuations. HNH's hedging strategy is designed to protect it against normal volatility; therefore, abnormal price increases in these commodities or markets could negatively impact H&H's earnings. H&H does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

As of June 30, 2014, HNH had the following outstanding future contracts with settlement dates ranging from

August to September 2014. There were no forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2014.

Commodity	Amount	Notional Value
Silver	985,000 ounces	$	20,800
Gold	1,400 ounces	$	1,800
Copper	275,000 pounds	$	900
Tin	60 metric tons	$	1,300

H&H accounts for these contracts as either fair value hedges or economic hedges under the guidance in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

Fair Value Hedges. Of the total futures contracts outstanding, 610,000 ounces of silver and substantially all of the copper contracts are designated and accounted for as fair value hedges under ASC 815. The fair values of these derivatives are recognized as derivative assets and liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net change in fair value of the derivative assets and liabilities and the change in the fair value of the underlying hedged inventory are recognized in the consolidated income statement, and such amounts principally offset each other due to the effectiveness of the hedges.

Economic Hedges. The remaining outstanding futures contracts for silver, and all of the contracts for gold and tin, are accounted for as economic hedges. As these derivatives are not designated as accounting hedges under ASC 815, they are accounted for as derivatives with no hedge designation. The derivatives are marked to market and both realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated income statement.

The futures contracts are exchange traded contracts through a third party broker. Accordingly, HNH has determined that there is minimal credit risk of default. HNH estimates the fair value of its derivative contracts through the use of market quotes or broker valuations when market information is not available. HNH maintains collateral on account with the third-party broker. Such collateral consists of both cash that varies in amount depending on the value of open futures contracts, as well as ounces of precious metal held on account by the broker.

Debt Agreements

As discussed in Note 13 – "Debt and Capital Lease Obligations," Handy & Harman Group Ltd. ("H&H Group") has entered into two interest rate swap agreements as economic hedges of its debt, but has elected not to account for the interest rate swap agreements as hedges under ASC 815. HNH records the expense (or gain) both from the mark-to-market adjustments and net settlements in interest expense on the consolidated income statement as the hedges are intended to offset interest rate movements.

HNH's Subordinated Notes had call premiums as well as Warrants associated with them. HNH treated the fair value of these features together as both a discount on the debt and a derivative liability at inception of the loan agreement. The discount was being amortized over the life of the notes as an adjustment to interest expense, and the derivative was marked to market at each balance sheet date. As discussed in Note 13 – "Debt and Capital lease Obligations," on March 26, 2013, HNH discharged its obligations associated with the Subordinated Notes and Warrants, and therefore, all discounts and derivative accounts related to the Subordinated Notes and Warrants are now zero.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

WebBank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. In the normal course of business, these financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans. Those instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement WebBank has in particular classes of financial instruments.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, WebBank’s undisbursed loan commitments totaled $31,648 and $28,011, respectively. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. WebBank’s commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. WebBank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by WebBank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

WebBank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. WebBank uses the same credit policy in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

WebBank also estimates an allowance for potential losses on off-balance sheet contingent credit exposure. WebBank determines an allowance for this contingent credit exposure based on historical experience and portfolio analysis. The allowance was $236 and $465 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and is included within Other current liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Increases or decreases in the allowance are included in Selling,

general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount included in Selling, general and administrative expenses for credit losses on off-balance sheet contingent credit exposure was a benefit of $202 and $37 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and a benefit of $202 and $35 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) represents an estimate of probable and estimable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Losses are charged to the ALLL when recognized. Generally, commercial loans are charged off or charged down at the point at which they are determined to be uncollectible in whole or in part. The amount of the ALLL is established by analyzing the portfolio at least quarterly, and the provisions for loan losses is adjusted so that the ALLL is at an appropriate level at the balance sheet date.

The methodologies used to estimate the ALLL depend upon the impairment status and portfolio segment of the loan. For the commercial and commercial real estate segments, a comprehensive loan grading system is used to assign loss given default grades to each loan. The credit quality indicators discussed subsequently are based on this grading system. Loss given default grades are based on both financial and statistical models and loan officers’ judgment.

After applying historic loss experience, as described above, the quantitatively derived level of ALLL is reviewed for each segment using qualitative criteria. Various risk factors are tracked that influence judgment regarding the level of the ALLL across the portfolio segments. Primary qualitative factors that may be reflected in the quantitative models include:

• Asset quality trends

• Risk management and loan administration practices

(in thousands except common unit and per common unit data)

• Risk identification practices

• Effect of changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio

• Existence and effect of any portfolio concentrations

• National economic and business conditions

• Regional and local economic and business conditions

• Data availability and applicability

Changes in these factors are reviewed to ensure that changes in the level of the ALLL are consistent with changes in these factors. The magnitude of the impact of each of these factors on the qualitative assessment of the ALLL changes from quarter to quarter according to the extent these factors are already reflected in historic loss rates and according to the extent these factors diverge from one another. Also considered is the uncertainty inherent in the estimation process when evaluating the ALLL.

Changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses are summarized as follows:

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when payment in full of principal and interest is not expected, or the loan is 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.

A nonaccrual loan may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement; and the loan, if secured, is well secured; the borrower has paid according to the contractual terms for a minimum of six months; and analysis of the borrower indicates a reasonable assurance of the ability to maintain payments. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied as a reduction to the principal outstanding.

Loans are reported as past due when either principal or interest is due and unpaid for a period of 30 days or more. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest were $0 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Nonaccrual loans are summarized as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators

In addition to the past due and nonaccrual criteria, loans are analyzed using a loan grading system. Generally, internal grades are assigned to loans based on financial/statistical models and loan officer judgment. The Company reviews and grades all loans with unpaid principal balances of $100 or more once per year. Grades follow definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful. The definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful are summarized as follows:

• Pass: A pass asset is a higher quality asset and does not fit any of the other categories described below. The likelihood of loss is considered remote.

• Special Mention: A receivable in this category has a specific weakness or problem but does not currently present a significant risk of loss or default as to any material term of the loan or financing agreement.

• Substandard: A substandard receivable has a developing or currently minor weakness or weaknesses that could result in loss or default if deficiencies are not corrected or adverse conditions arise.

• Doubtful: A doubtful receivable has an existing weakness or weaknesses that have developed into a serious risk of significant loss or default with regard to a material term of the financing agreement.

Outstanding loan balances (accruing and nonaccruing) categorized by these credit quality indicators are summarized as follows:

June 30, 2014	Pass		Special Mention		Sub- standard (1)		Doubtful		Total loans
Real Estate Loans:
Construction	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that WebBank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. When loans are impaired, an estimate of the amount of the balance that is impaired is made and a specific reserve is assigned to the loan based on the estimated present value of the loan’s future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral less the cost to sell. When the impairment is based on amount on the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral, the portion of the balance that is impaired is charged off, such that these loans do not have a specific reserve in the ALLL. Payments received on impaired loans that are accruing are recognized in interest income, according to the contractual loan agreement. Payments received on impaired loans that are on nonaccrual are not recognized in interest income, but are applied as a reduction to the principal outstanding. Payments are recognized when cash is received.

Information on impaired loans is summarized as follows:

	$	84,603		$	66,639

Fine and Fabricated Precious Metal Inventory

In order to produce certain of its products, HNH purchases, maintains and utilizes preciousmetal inventory. HNH records certainpreciousmetal inventory at the lower of last-in, first-out ("LIFO") cost or market, with any adjustments recorded through cost of goods sold. Remaining precious metal inventory is accounted for primarily at fair value. The market value of the precious metal inventory exceeded LIFO cost by $1,101 and $136 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Certain customers and suppliers of HNH choose to do business on a “pool” basis, and furnishpreciousmetal to HNH for return in fabricated form (“customer metal”) or for purchase from or return to the supplier. When the customer metal is returned in fabricated form, the customer is charged a fabrication charge. The value of this customer metal is not included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. To the extent HNH is able to utilize customer precious metal in its production process, such customer metals replaces the need for HNH to purchase its own inventory. As ofJune 30, 2014, H&H’s customer metal consisted of172,058ounces of silver,543ounces of gold, and1,391ounces of palladium. As ofDecember 31, 2013, H&H’s customer metal consisted of247,103ounces of silver,576ounces of gold, and1,392ounces of palladium.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Entities

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 represent the interests held by the noncontrolling shareholders of HNH, Steel Excel, DGT and the BNS Liquidating Trust.

Incentive Unit Expense

Effective January 1, 2012, SPLP issued to the Manager partnership profits interests in the form of incentive units, a portion of which will be classified as Class C common units of SPLP upon the attainment of certain specified performance goals by SPLP which are determined as of the last day of each fiscal year.  If the performance goals are not met for a fiscal year, no portion of the incentive units will be classified as Class C common units for that year. The number of outstanding incentive units is equal to 100% of the common units outstanding, including common units held by non-wholly owned subsidiaries. The performance goals and expense related to the classification of a portion of the incentive units as Class C units is measured on an annual basis, but is accrued on a quarterly basis. Accordingly, the expense accrued is adjusted to reflect the fair value of the Class C common units on each interim calculation date.  In the event the cumulative incentive unit expense calculated quarterly or for the full year is an amount less than the total previously accrued, the Company would record a negative incentive unit expense in the quarter when such over accrual is determined. The expense is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a reduction of SG&A expenses from the incentive unit calculation of approximately $544 and incentive unit expense of approximately $2,343, respectively. The Company recorded incentive unit expense of $0 and $6,774 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

18. INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a tax provision of $9,719 and $8,062, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a tax provision of $12,399 and $8,710, respectively. The Company’s tax provision represents the income tax expense or benefit of its consolidated subsidiaries. The difference between the effective tax rate and statutory federal rate of 35% is principally due to changes in the valuation allowances, various permanent differences included in the provisions of our subsidiaries, and partnership income not subject to taxation. The Company's consolidated subsidiaries have recorded deferred tax valuation allowances to the extent that they believe it is more likely than not that the benefits of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.

19. REGULATORY MATTERS

WebBank

WebBank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on WebBank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, WebBank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and

43

certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. WebBank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require WebBank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average quarterly assets (as defined). As of June 30, 2014, WebBank exceeded all the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of June 30, 2014, WebBank was categorized as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events, since the most recent FDIC notification, which have changed WebBank’s prompt corrective action category. To remain categorized as well-capitalized, WebBank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage capital.

SPLP

The Company historically has conducted its business, and continues to conduct its business and operations, in such a manner so as not to be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”).

Under the Act, the Company is required to meet certain qualitative tests related to the Company’s assets and/or income, and to refrain from trading for short-term speculative purposes. The Company has taken actions, including liquidating certain of our assets and acquiring additional interests in existing or new subsidiaries or controlled companies, to comply with these tests, or a relevant exception. Also, since the Company operates as a diversified holding company engaged in a variety of operating businesses, we do not believe we are primarily engaged in an investment company type business, nor do we propose to primarily engage in such a business.

If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may need to further adjust our business strategy and assets, including divesting certain desirable assets immediately to fall outside of the definition or within an exemption, to register as an investment company or to cease operations.

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

As discussed in more detail below, HNH and BNS have been designated as potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") by federal and state agencies with respect to certain sites with which they may have had direct or indirect involvement. These claims are in various stages of administrative or judicial proceedings and include demands for recovery of past governmental costs and for future investigations and remedial actions. In many cases, the dollar amounts of the claims have not been specified and, with respect to a number of the PRP claims, have been asserted against a number of other entities for the same cost recovery or other relief as was asserted against the HNH and BNS. The Company accrues costs associated with environmental matters, on an undiscounted basis, when they become probable and reasonably estimable. As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, on a consolidated basis, the Company has accrued $3,503 and $4,603, respectively, which represents its current estimate of the probable cleanup liabilities, including remediation and legal costs. In addition, the Company has insurance coverage available for several of these matters and believes that excess insurance coverage may be available as well. 

Estimates of the Company's liability for remediation of a particular site and the method and ultimate cost of remediation require a number of assumptions that are inherently difficult to make, and the ultimate outcome may be materially different from current estimates.

HNH Environmental Matters

Certain subsidiaries of H&H Group have 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. Those subsidiaries have substantial remediation expenses on an ongoing basis, although such costs are continually being readjusted based upon the emergence of new techniques and alternative methods. HNH had approximately $2,100 accrued related to estimated environmental remediation costs as of June 30, 2014. HNH also has insurance coverage available for several of these matters and believes that excess insurance coverage may be available as well.

In addition, certain H&H Group subsidiaries have been identified as PRPs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") or similar state statutes at sites and are parties to administrative consent orders in connection with certain properties. Those subsidiaries may be subject to joint and several liabilities imposed by CERCLA on PRPs. Due to the technical and regulatory complexity of remedial activities and the difficulties attendant in identifying PRPs and allocating or determining liability among them, the subsidiaries are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate cost of compliance with such laws.

Based upon information currently available, however, the H&H Group subsidiaries do not expect that their respective environmental costs, including the incurrence of additional fines and penalties, if any, will have a material adverse effect on them or that the resolution of these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of such subsidiaries or HNH, but there can be no such assurances. HNH anticipates that the H&H Group subsidiaries will pay any such amounts out of their respective working capital, although there is no assurance that they will have sufficient funds to pay them. In the event that the H&H Group subsidiaries are unable to fund their liabilities, claims could be made against their respective parent companies, including H&H Group and/or HNH, for payment of such liabilities.

Among the sites where certain H&H Group subsidiaries may have more substantial environmental liabilities are the following:

H&H has been working with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection ("CTDEP") with respect to its obligations under a 1989 consent order that applies to a property in Connecticut that H&H sold in 2003 ("Sold Parcel") and an adjacent parcel ("Adjacent Parcel") that together with the Sold Parcel comprises the site of a former H&H manufacturing facility. Remediation of all soil conditions on the Sold Parcel was completed on April 6, 2007. On September 11, 2008, the CTDEP advised H&H that it had approved H&H's December 28, 2007 Soil Remediation Action Report, as amended, thereby concluding the active remediation of the Sold Parcel. The remaining remediation and monitoring costs for the Sold Parcel are expected to approximate $100. With respect to the Adjacent Parcel, H&H has been conducting an ecological risk assessment and an environmental field investigation in order to assess viable remediation options. The total remediation costs for the

44

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands except common unit and per common unit data)

Adjacent Parcel cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the resolution of this matter will not be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of H&H or HNH.

In 1986, Handy & Harman Electronic Materials Corporation ("HHEM"), a subsidiary of H&H, entered into an administrative consent order ("ACO") 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 investigation and remediation activities to be performed with regard to soil and groundwater contamination. Thereafter, in 1998, HHEM and H&H settled a case brought by the local municipality in regard to this site and also settled with certain of its insurance carriers. HHEM is actively remediating the property and continuing to investigate effective methods for achieving compliance with the ACO. A remedial investigation report was filed with the NJDEP in December 2007. By letter dated December 12, 2008, the NJDEP issued its approval with respect to additional investigation and remediation activities discussed in the December 2007 remedial investigation report. HHEM anticipates entering into discussions with the NJDEP to address that agency's potential natural resource damage claims, the ultimate scope and cost of which cannot be estimated at this time. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with the former owner/operator of the site, the responsibility for site investigation and remediation costs, as well as any other costs, as defined in the settlement agreement, related to or arising from environmental contamination on the property (collectively, "Costs") are contractually allocated 75% to the former owner/operator (with separate guaranties by the two joint venture partners of the former owner/operator for 37.5% each) and 25% jointly to HHEM and H&H after the first $1,000. The $1,000 was paid solely by the former owner/operator. As of June 30, 2014, over and above the $1,000, total investigation and remediation costs of approximately $4,300 and $1,400 have been expended by the former owner/operator and HHEM, respectively, in accordance with the settlement agreement. Additionally, HHEM is currently being reimbursed indirectly through insurance coverage for a portion of the Costs for which HHEM is responsible. HHEM believes that there is additional excess insurance coverage, which it intends to pursue as necessary. HHEM anticipates that there will be additional remediation expenses to be incurred once a final remediation plan is agreed upon. There is no assurance that the former owner/operator or guarantors will continue to timely reimburse HHEM for expenditures and/or will be financially capable of fulfilling their obligations under the settlement agreement and the guaranties. The final Costs 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 or cash flows of HHEM or HNH.

HHEM 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 at a commercial/industrial property in Massachusetts. On June 30, 2010, HHEM filed a Response Action Outcome report to close the site since HHEM's licensed site professional concluded that groundwater monitoring demonstrated that the groundwater conditions have stabilized or continue to improve at the site. On June 20, 2013, HHEM received the MADEP's Notice of Audit Findings and Notice of Noncompliance ("Notice"). HHEM and its consultant met with the MADEP on July 29, 2013 to resolve any differences identified in the Notice. As a result of that meeting and subsequent discussions, HHEM will conduct additional sampling, testing, site investigations and install additional off-site wells. The additional work and a follow-up response report to the MADEP are expected to be completed in the second half of 2014. The cost of this additional work is estimated at $200. Additional costs could result from these testing activities and final acceptance of the remediation plan by the MADEP, which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

BNS Sub Environmental Matters

On June 4, 2013 BNS LLC was identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) as a PRP as an alleged waste generator that disposed of wastes at the Operable Unit Two of the Peterson/Puritan, Inc. Superfund Site which includes the J.M. Mills Landfill in Cumberland, Rhode Island. BNS LLC is currently investigating the matter. BNS LLC joined a PRP group associated with this site, and believes at this time that it has an adequate accrual associated with the matter. The accrual is part of the BNS Liquidating Trust.

On August 12, 2008, a then-subsidiary of BNS (“BNS Sub”) was identified as a PRP by the EPA as an alleged drum reconditioning customer of New England Container Corp. (“NECC”). BNS Sub is presently investigating the matter and has joined a group of other alleged NECC drum reconditioning customers. This PRP group has agreed with the EPA to perform test sampling and analysis of a targeted portion of the site. The NECC drum reconditioning PRPs have incurred and will continue to incur costs in the investigation and each PRP has been assessed a pro-rata fee for its cost share of the assessment. BNS Sub believes that it has an adequate environmental liability accrual associated with the site. The liability accrual is part of the Liquidating Trust formed by BNS.

Litigation Matters

HNH Litigation Matters

In the ordinary course of business, HNH is subject to periodic lawsuits, investigations, claims and proceedings, including, but not limited to, contractual disputes, employment, environmental, health and safety matters, as well as claims associated with HNH's historical acquisitions and divestitures. There is insurance coverage available for many of the foregoing actions. Although HNH cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations, claims and proceedings asserted against it, they do not believe any currently pending legal proceeding to which they are a party will have a material adverse effect on their business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations or liquidity.

BNS Litigation Matters

BNS Sub has been named as a defendant in 1,286 and 1,234 alleged asbestos-related toxic-tort claims as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The claims were filed over a period beginning 1994 through September 30, 2013. In many cases these claims involved more than 100 defendants. Of the claims filed, 1,067 and 1,053 were dismissed, settled or granted summary judgment and closed as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Of the claims settled, the average settlement was less than $3. There remained 191 and 211 pending asbestos claims as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. There can be no assurance that the number of future claims and the related costs of defense, settlements or judgments will be consistent with the experience to date of existing claims.

BNS Sub has insurance policies covering asbestos-related claims for years beginning 1974 through 1988 with estimated aggregate coverage limits of $183,000, with $2,082 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 in estimated remaining self insurance retention (deductible). There is secondary evidence of coverage from 1970 to 1973 although there is no assurance that the insurers will recognize that the coverage was in place. Policies issued for BNS Sub beginning in 1989 contained exclusions related to asbestos. Under certain circumstances, some of the settled claims may be reopened. Also, there may be a significant delay in receipt of notification by BNS Sub of the entry of a dismissal or settlement of a claim or the filing of a new claim. BNS Sub believes it has significant defenses to any liability for toxic-tort claims on the merits. None of these toxic-tort claims has gone to trial and, therefore, there can be no assurance that these defenses will prevail. In addition, there can be no assurance that the number of future claims and the related costs of defense, settlements or judgments will be consistent with the experience to date of existing claims, and that BNS Sub will not need to increase significantly its estimated liability for the costs to settle these claims to an amount that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

BNS Sub annually receives retroactive billings or credits from its insurance carriers for any increase or decrease in claims accruals as claims are filed, settled or dismissed, or as estimates of the ultimate settlement and defense costs for the then-existing claims are revised. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 BNS Sub has accrued $1,403 relating to the open and active claims against BNS Sub. This accrual represents the Company’s best estimate of the likely costs to defend against or settle these claims by BNS Sub beyond the amounts accrued by the insurance carriers and previously funded, through the retroactive billings by BNS Sub. However, there can be no assurance that BNS Sub will not need to take additional charges in connection with the defense, settlement or judgment of these existing claims or that the costs of future claims and the related costs of defense, settlements or judgments will be consistent with the experience to date relating to existing claims. These claims are now being managed by the Liquidating Trust formed by BNS.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 5, 2014, H&H Group and certain subsidiaries entered into an amendment to its credit agreement, dated as of November 8, 2012, as amended, with PNC in its capacities as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders thereunder, to, among other things, permit PNC to extend to H&H Group a new $40,000 term loan and permit H&H Group to make a distribution to HNH of up to $80,000.

On August 6, 2014 HNH announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a tender offer (the “HNH Offer”) to purchase for cash up to $60,000 in value of shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $24.00 per share. The closing price of HNH’s common stock on August 6, 2014 was $22.56. HNH commenced the HNH Offer on August 7, 2014 and expects the HNH Offer will expire at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on September 5, 2014, unless extended or withdrawn. HNH intends to fund the HNH Offer with cash on hand. Financing is not a condition to the HNH Offer.

Recent Events

The Company commenced a modified "Dutch Auction" tender offer (the "Offer") on March 25, 2014 which expired on April 23, 2014. The modified Dutch Auction allowed SPLP's unitholders to tender their units at a price within the specified range of not less than $16.50 nor greater than $17.50 per unit. Based on the number of units tendered and the prices specified by the tendering unitholders, SPLP selected a single price per unit of $16.50 (the "Purchase Price") that enabled it to purchase $49,000 in value of its common units pursuant to the Offer. All units accepted in the Offer were purchased at the same price per unit even if a unitholder tendered at a lower price. At the Purchase Price selected by SPLP of $16.50 per unit, SPLP purchased 2,969,696 common units.

The Company funded the Offer with $1,500 cash on hand and $47,500 of borrowings under its existing credit facility with PNC (see Note 13 – "Debt and Capital Lease Obligations" to the SPLP financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q).

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $36,467 , or 16.7%, as compared to the same period last year due to growth from acquisitions of 13.9% and core growth of 5.0%, partially offset by a decrease of 2.2%, due to other factors, primarily precious metal prices. The acquisition growth was a result of the Wolverine Joining Technologies, LLC ("Wolverine Joining") and PAM Fastening Technology, Inc. ("PAM") acquisitions in the Diversified Industrial segment and the acquisition of the assets of Black Hawk Energy Services, Inc. ("Black Hawk Inc.") and UK Elite Soccer, Inc. ("UK Elite") in the Energy segment.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $67,222, or 16.7%, as compared to the same period last year due to growth from acquisitions of 15.5% and core growth of 5.0%, partially offset by a decrease of 3.8%, due to other factors, primarily precious metal prices. The acquisition growth was due to the aforementioned factors that impacted the second quarter.

Costs and Expenses

Costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $24,358, or 12.0%, as compared to the same period last year. Cost of goods sold increased $22,829, or 15.0% and Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $674, or 1.3%. Both of these increases were primarily due to increases in our Diversified Industrial and Energy segments principally as a result of the acquisitions Wolverine, PAM and the assets of Black Hawk Inc., as well as additional costs due to core growth. These increases were partially offset by lower SG&A expenses in the Corporate and Other segment due lower non-cash incentive unit expense recorded in the second quarter of 2014. All other expenses increased $855 in the second quarter of 2014, compared to the same period last year, primarily from higher losses on derivatives and higher interest expense, partially offset by higher income from investment sales by Steel Excel.

Costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $49,104, or 12.9%, as compared to the same period last year. Cost of goods sold increased $50,033, or 18.2% and SG&A expenses increased $4,110, or 4.1%. These increases

48

were primarily due to increases in our Diversified Industrial and Energy segments principally as a result of the acquisitions of Wolverine, PAM and the assets of Black Hawk Inc., as well as additional costs due to core growth. These increases were partially offset by lower SG&A expenses in the Corporate and Other segment due lower non-cash incentive unit expense recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2014. All other expenses decreased $5,039 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period last year, primarily from lower interest expense, higher income from investment sales by Steel Excel and the non-recurrence of an impairment charge of $1,510 recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Income (Loss) of Associated Companies, net of taxes

Income (Loss) of associated companies, net of taxes includes income or loss recognized on investments where we own between 20% and 50% of the outstanding equity and have the ability to exercise influence, but not control, over the investee. The majority of these investments are recorded at fair value with changes in value recorded in Income (Loss) of associated companies, net of taxes in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $11,106 in the second quarter of 2014, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to greater reductions in the 2004 period in the fair values recorded for MLNK and JPS of approximately $3,800 and $8,000, respectively (see Note 4 – "Investments" to the SPLP financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information).

Income (Loss) of associated companies for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $18,996 in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a greater reduction in the 2004 period in the fair value of MLNK of approximately $16,000 (see Note 4 – "Investments" to the SPLP financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information).

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $13,407, or 7.4% when compared to the same period in 2013. The change in net sales reflects approximately $8,100 in incremental sales associated with HNH's recent acquisitions and a net increase from core growth of approximately $9,200, which were partially offset by a reduction of approximately $3,900 in net sales due to lower average precious metal prices, principally due to silver. HNH's acquisitions of Wolverine Joining Technologies, LLC ("Wolverine Joining") and PAM Fastening Technology, Inc. ("PAM"), net of sales volume transferred to or from the acquired business unit as part of HNH’s integration activities, provided incremental net sales of approximately $4,400 and $3,700, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, value added sales, defined as net sales less revenue from the direct purchase and resale of precious metals, increased by approximately $9,200 on higher volumes from the Arlon and Building Materials groups, which were partially offset by lower sales volume from the Tubing group. The average silver market price was approximately $19.64 per troy ounce in the second quarter of 2014, as compared to $23.19 per troy ounce in the same period in 2013.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $26,298, or 7.9% when compared to the same period in 2013. The change in net sales reflects approximately $23,000 in incremental sales associated with HNH's recent acquisitions and a net increase from core growth of approximately $16,000, which were partially offset by a reduction of approximately $12,700 in net sales due to lower average precious metal prices, principally due to silver. The acquisitions of Wolverine Joining and PAM, net of sales volume transferred to or from the acquired business unit as part of HNH’s integration activities, provided incremental net sales of approximately $16,700 and $6,300, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, value added sales, defined as net sales less revenue from the direct purchase and resale of precious metals, increased by approximately $16,000 on higher volumes from the Arlon and Building Materials groups, which were partially offset by lower sales volume from the Tubing group. The average silver market price was approximately $19.89 per troy ounce in the first six months of 2014, as compared to $26.52 per troy ounce in the same period in 2013.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $6,576, or 13.1%, when compared to the same period of 2013, and, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 29.1% as compared to 27.6% in 2013. The change in gross profit reflects approximately $1,600 in incremental gross profit associated with HNH's recent acquisitions and a net increase from core growth of approximately $4,600, which were partially offset by a reduction of approximately $300 in gross profit due to lower average precious metal prices. The acquisitions of Wolverine Joining and PAM, net of sales volume transferred to or from the acquired

50

business unit as part of HNH's integration activities, provided incremental gross profit of approximately $500 and $1,200, respectively, during the second quarter of 2014. Higher sales volume in the Arlon and Building Materials groups lead to the increase in gross profit from HNH's core business. The gross profit margin increase was principally due to higher sales volume from HNH's Building Material and Arlon groups, and associated favorable production variances, as well as favorable product mix from the Joining Materials group, which was partially offset by unfavorable production variances in the Tubing group due to lower sales volume.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $7,785, or 8.3%, when compared to the same period of 2013, and, as a percentage of net sales, was relatively flat compared to the same period last year. The change in gross profit reflects approximately $3,200 in incremental gross profit associated with HNH's recent acquisitions and a net increase from core growth of approximately $5,500, which were partially offset by a reduction of approximately $1,400 in gross profit due to lower average precious metal prices. The acquisitions of Wolverine Joining and PAM, net of sales volume transferred to or from the acquired business unit as part of HNH’s integration activities, provided incremental gross profit of approximately $1,200 and $2,100, respectively, during the first half of 2014. Higher sales volume from the Arlon and Building Materials groups lead to the increase in gross profit from HNH's core business, which was partially offset by unfavorable production variances in the Tubing group due to lower sales volume.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were relatively flat when compared to the same period of 2013. SG&A expenses increased by $3,071, or 4.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period of 2013. The higher SG&A expense in the six months ended June 30, 2014 includes approximately $2,400 in incremental expenses from the Wolverine Joining and PAM acquisitions, as well as an increase of approximately $1,100 from HNH's core business, primarily due to increases in selling and personnel costs in the Building Materials and Kasco groups during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Interest expense decreased by $24, or 1.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and decreased by $1,850, or 36.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included a loss associated with HNH's redemption of its 10% subordinated secured notes due 2017 ("Subordinated Notes"), including the redemption premium and the write-off of remaining deferred finance costs and unamortized debt discounts. Interest expense was also favorably impacted by lower average interest rates for the three and six months of 2014, principally due to the redemption of the Subordinated Notes.

Derivative activity loss was $606 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to income of $1,492 in the same period of 2013. The results in both periods was attributable to HNH's commodity contracts. HNH utilizes commodity forward and futures contracts to mitigate the impact of price fluctuations on its precious metal and certain non-precious metal inventories. The factors that affect the gain or loss on these derivative instruments are changes in the price of the associated metals and the amount of ounces hedged.

Derivative activity loss was $466 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to income of $1,053 in the same period of 2013. The loss in 2014 was attributable to HNH's commodity contracts. Of the income in 2013, $1,846 was attributable to precious metal contracts, partially offset by a loss of $793 on the embedded derivative features of HNH's Subordinated Notes and related warrants.

Income (Loss) of Associated Companies

Income (Loss) of associated companies includes income or loss recognized on investments where we own between 20% and 50% of the outstanding equity and have the ability to exercise influence, but not control, over the investee. JPS and SLI are both accounted for at fair value with changes recorded in Income (Loss) of associated companies in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. JPS was previously classified as an available-for sale security until the second quarter of 2013 (see Note 4 – "Investments" to the SPLP financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information).

Energy Segment

SPLP's Energy segment consists of its consolidated subsidiary Steel Excel. Steel Excel provides drilling and production services to the oil and gas industry. In addition, Steel Excel has a sports business ("Steel Sports"). The operations of Steel Sports are not considered material and are included in our Energy segment. The following presents a summary of the Energy segment operating results:

Total segment income	$	9,183		$	2,349		$	12,576		$	6,041

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, net revenues increased $23,162, or 80.5%, when compared to the same period of 2013. The increase was due to $19,600 in revenues from the acquisition of the assets of Black Hawk Inc., which was acquired in December 2013, and an increase in revenues of $500 in other energy operations. Net revenues from Steel Excel's sports businesses increased by $3,100 primarily as a result of $2,600 in revenues from UK Elite, which was acquired in June 2013, and an increase in revenues of $400 from baseball operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net revenues increased $41,970, or 76.2%, when compared to the same period of 2013. The increase was due to $36,000 in revenues from the acquisition of the assets of Black Hawk Inc., which was acquired in December 2013, and an increase in revenues of $2,000 in other energy operations due to increased rig utilization in the period. Net revenues from Steel Excel's sports businesses increased by $4,000 primarily as a result of $3,200 in revenues from UK Elite, which was acquired in June 2013, and an increase in revenues of $700 in baseball operations from the recently completed indoor facility.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2014, increased by $6,999, or 77.7%, as compared to the same period of 2013, and as a percentage of revenue declined to 30.8% from 31.3%. Gross profit from energy businesses increased by $5,300 and as a percentage of revenue declined slightly to 27.8% in the second quarter of 2014 from 28.7% in the comparable 2013 period. Gross profit in the energy business increased as a result of $6,000 in gross profit from the acquisition of the assets of Black Hawk Inc. in December 2013. This increase was partially offset in by a decrease in gross profit of $700 in the energy group's other operations due primarily to rig utilization for snubbing services. Gross profit from Steel Excel's sports businesses in the 2014 period increased by $1,700 primarily as a result of $1,500 in gross profit from UK Elite and an increase in gross profit of $200 from baseball operations.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014, increased by $10,136, or 59.6%, as compared to the same period of 2013, and as a percentage of revenue declined to 28.0% from 30.9%. Gross profit from energy businesses increased by $8,500, but as a percentage of revenue declined to 27.4% in the first six months of 2014 from 29.7% in the comparable 2013 period. The gross profit increase was as a result of $10,100 in gross profit from the acquisition of the assets of Black Hawk Inc. in December 2013. This increase was partially offset in by a decrease in gross profit of $1,600 in other energy operations due primarily to a decline in rig utilization for snubbing services in the second quarter of 2014 and a decline in average revenue per rig hour, increased rig staffing and related costs, and additional costs incurred because of adverse weather conditions in the first quarter of 2014. Gross profit from Steel Excel's sports businesses in the 2014 period increased by $1,700 primarily as a result of $1,300 in gross profit from UK Elite and an increase in gross profit of $400 from baseball operations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $4,143 and $8,085, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2013 primarily as a result of the acquisition of the assets of Black Hawk Inc. and the acquisition of UK Elite, both of which were acquired subsequent to the second quarter of 2013. 

52

Interest income, net of $467 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $756 as compared to the same period in 2013 as a result of increased interest expense of $700 resulting from the borrowings under Steel Excel's Amended Credit Agreement (see Note 13 – "Debt and Capital Lease Obligations").

Interest income, net of $1,167 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $654 as compared to the same period in 2013 primarily as a result of increased interest expense of $1,400 primarily associated with the borrowings under Steel Excel's Amended Credit Agreement, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $800 from Steel Excel investing in higher yield money market funds and corporate obligations in the 2014 period (see Note 13 – "Debt and Capital Lease Obligations").

Other income, net of $712 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 primarily represented realized gains on the sale of marketable securities. Other income, net of $3,639 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily represented realized gains on the sale of marketable securities.

Financial Services Segment

The Financial Services segment primarily consists of our wholly owned subsidiary, WebFinancial Holding Corporation, which conducts financial operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, WebBank. WebBank operates in niche banking markets and provides commercial and consumer loans and services. WebBank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to the current limits, and the bank is examined and regulated by the FDIC and State of Utah Department of Financial Institutions.

The following presents a summary of the Financial Services segment operating results as reported in our consolidated financial statements:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013		2014			2013

Net income from continuing operations before income taxes	$	5,172		$	4,680	$	9,250		$	8,436

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $218, or 4.1%, in the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period of 2013 and decreased $952, or 9.7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2014. compared to the same period in 2013. These decreases were primarily due to the discontinuance of a lending program.

53

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $970, or 49.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period of 2013 and increased $2,361, or 62.8%, in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. The increases were due primarily to the addition of three new contractual lending programs and increased volume in the existing contractual lending programs.

Selling General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses increased $385, or 15.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and $721, or 14.7% , for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods last year. The increases were due primarily to higher personnel costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense represents interest accrued on WebBank depositor accounts. Interest expense was relatively flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods of 2013.

Recovery of Loan Losses

At June 30, 2014, WebBank had an estimated $515 of impaired loans (of which $95 is guaranteed by the USDA or SBA) and an allowance for loan losses of $362.

WebBank routinely obtains appraisals on underlying collateral of nonperforming loans and records a provision for losses if the value of the collateral declines below the value of the loans. WebBank recorded a reduction in the provision for loan losses of $63 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to an increase of $22 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 WebBank recorded a reduction of provision for loan losses of $153 compared to a reduction of $31 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment consists of several consolidated subsidiaries as well as various investments and cash and cash equivalents. Corporate assets, revenues and overhead expenses are not allocated to the segments. Corporate revenues primarily consist of investment and other income, investment gains and losses and rental income. See Note 4 - "Investments" to the SPLP financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information on the equity method investments and other investments classified within this segment.

Revenue

Investment and other income is often based on a limited number of transactions, the timing and amounts of which are not always predictable. Net investment gains include realized gains and losses on sales of securities. The Company’s decision to sell securities and realize gains or losses generally includes its evaluation of strategic considerations, an individual security’s value at the time and the prospect for changes in its value in the future. The timing of realized investment gains or losses is not predictable and does not follow any pattern from year to year. Interest and dividend income will vary depending on the type and amount of securities held from year to year.

Net investment losses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $631 compared to net investment gains of $156 in the same period of 2013. Net investment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $791 compared to net investment gains of $1,781 in the same period of 2013. The results in all periods were primarily due to changes in value of foreign currency instruments.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses consist primarily of payroll, legal, accounting, audit, tax, management fee and other professional fees. SG&A expenses decreased by $3,844 or 49.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2014, and decreased by $7,768, or 44.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. The decreases in both the quarter and year-to-date periods were primarily due to lower non-cash incentive unit expense recorded in the second quarter and first six months of 2014 (see Note 15 – "Capital and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" to the SPLP financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q).

Interest Expense

In the ordinary course of business the Company may enter into foreign currency transactions which, in effect, in certain circumstances, may represent borrowings from the counterparty. Interest expense represents interest and other fees on such transactions.

55

Impairment Charges

In the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,510 related to its investment in a Japanese real estate partnership (see Note 4 – "Investments" to the SPLP financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q).

Equity Method Investments

Associated Companies

We record income or loss on investments where we own between 20% and 50% of the outstanding equity and have the ability to exercise influence, but not control, over the investee. As noted in the table above, the change within the Corporate and Other segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of MLNK in the second quarter of 2014 (which is accounted for at fair value). The change for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of MLNK, partially offset by the non-recurring loss recorded in the six months ended of June 30, 2013 related to Fox & Hound (see Note 4 – "Investments" to the SPLP financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information).

Income (Loss) From Other Investments - Related Party

Income (Loss) from other investments - related party represents the change in fair value that we recognize on our 43.75% investment in each series of the SPII Liquidating Trust (for additional information see Note 4 - “Investments” to the SPLP financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q). The income or loss in all periods is primarily due to the change in fair value the series of the Liquidating Trust which holds an interest in Steel Partners China Access I L.P. and Steel Partners II Japan Strategic Fund. For additional information on both of these investments, see Note 4 – “Investments” to the SPLP financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Loss From Investments Held at Fair Value

Loss from investments held at fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 includes income or loss that the Company recognizes on an available-for-sale security for which it had previously elected the fair value option and on the MLNK warrants. For additional information on both of these investments, see Note 4 – "Investments" to the SPLP financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Income Taxes

As a limited partnership, we are generally not responsible for federal and state income taxes and our profits and losses are passed directly to our limited partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. Provision has been made for federal, state, local or foreign income taxes on the results of operations generated by our corporate subsidiaries and these are reflected within continuing and discontinued operations. The difference between the effective tax rate and statutory federal rate of 35% is principally due to changes in the valuation allowances, various permanent differences included in the provisions of our subsidiaries, and partnership income not subject to taxation.

A tax provision of $9,719 and $8,062 was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and a tax provision of $12,399 and $8,710 was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

We rely on our available liquidity to meet our short-term and long-term needs, and to make acquisitions of new businesses and additional investments in existing businesses. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, our operating businesses do not generally require material funds from us to support their operating activities, and we do not depend on positive cash flow from our operating segments to meet our liquidity needs. The components of our consolidated businesses and investments may change frequently as a result of acquisitions or divestitures, the timing of which is impossible to predict, but which often have a material impact on our consolidated statements of cash flows in any one period. Further, the timing and amounts of distributions from certain of our investments accounted for under the equity method are generally outside our control. As a result, reported cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities do not generally follow any particular pattern or trend, and reported results in the most recent period should not be expected to recur in any subsequent period.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $448. Net income of $9,651 was impacted by certain non-cash items, partially offset by a decrease of $55,221 relating to changes in certain operating assets and liabilities. Of this decrease, $37,170 was from an increase in accounts receivable, $18,015 was from an increase in inventories, $1,314 was from an increase in prepaid and other assets and $7,587 was from an increase on loans held for sale. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to HNH which had higher net sales in the first six months of 2014, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 due to year-end plant shutdowns. These working capital decreases were partially offset by an increase of $10,830 in accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $16,869. Net income of $13,735 was impacted by certain non-cash items, partially offset by a decrease of $23,950 relating to changes in certain operating assets and liabilities. Of this capital decrease, $831 was from a decrease in accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities, $24,463 was from an increase in accounts receivable, $8,525 was from an increase in prepaid and other assets, $1,003 was from an increase in inventories, partially offset by a $10,937 increase on loans held for sale. Net income was also impacted by $5,340 relating to net cash used by operating activities of discontinued operations.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $14,597. Significant items included purchases of property plant and equipment of $17,392, reclassification of restricted cash of $20,921, purchases of subsidiary

57

shares from noncontrolling interests of $3,045 and other activity of $3,000, partially offset by net proceeds from sales of investments of $28,702,

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $12,887. Significant items included acquisitions, primarily by HNH of $60,639, investments in associated companies of $31,127, which primarily relates to our investment in ModusLink, a net increase in loans and other receivables of $10,313 and purchases of property plant and equipment of $10,473. These cash uses from investing activities were partially offset by increases due to proceeds from the sales of discontinued operations of $41,872 and net proceeds from investment sales and maturities of $55,993.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $20,380. This was due primarily to cash used to purchase the Company's treasury units of $49,470, subsidiary repurchases of their common stock of $10,274 and repayments of term loans of $13,016, partially offset by net proceeds received from revolver borrowings of $46,932, proceeds from term loans of $6,318, net change in overdrafts of $1,912 and a net increase in deposits of $1,782.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1,946. This was due primarily to net revolver borrowings of $53,800 and proceeds from term loans of $10,000, partially offset by repayments of term loans of $19,812, subsidiary repurchases of their common stock of $20,724, repurchases of subordinated notes of $11,323 and subsidiary's purchases of the Company's common units of $8,366.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Holding Company

SPLP (excluding its operating subsidiaries, the “Holding Company”) is a global diversified holding company whose assets principally consist of the stock of its direct subsidiaries, cash and cash equivalents and other non-controlling investments in debt and equity securities. Its principal potential sources of funds are available cash resources, investments, borrowings, public and private capital market transactions, repayment of subsidiary advances, distributions or dividends from subsidiaries, as well as dispositions of existing businesses and investments. The Holding Company’s investments are subject to changes that may result in amounts realized from any future sales that are at times significantly different from the value we are reporting at June 30, 2014. These investments, including those accounted for under the equity method, can be impacted by market conditions, changes in the specific business environments of our investees or by the underlying performance of these businesses.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Holding Company considers investments at fair value included in its consolidated balance sheet as being generally available to meet its liquidity needs. Investments at fair value are not as liquid as cash and cash equivalents, but they are generally convertible into cash within a reasonable period of time. As of June 30, 2014, the Holding Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $12,200 and investments of approximately $244,000. The Holding Company had $26,001 of restricted cash, which serves as collateral with respect to foreign currency financial instruments. The Holding Company is not able to use these funds for other purposes, and the Holding Company does not consider this amount to be available to meet its liquidity needs.

The Holding Company generally does not have access to the cash flow generated by the Company’s operating businesses for its needs, and the operating businesses generally do not rely on the Holding Company to support their operating activities. The Holding Company’s available liquidity, and the investment income realized from the Holding Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities is used to meet the Holding Company’s recurring cash requirements, which are principally the payment of its overhead expenses.

The Holding Company and its operating businesses may use their available liquidity to make acquisitions of new businesses and other investments, but the timing and cost of any future investments cannot be predicted. The Company may seek external debt or equity financing and will rely on its existing liquidity to fund corporate overhead expenses and new acquisition opportunities. It may also dispose of existing businesses and investments. At June 30, 2014, the Holding Company and its consolidated subsidiaries had, in the aggregate, cash and cash equivalents of $169,505 available for operations in the ordinary course of business and for the acquisition of interests in businesses.

On October 23, 2013 the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC"), as administrative agent for the lenders thereunder. The Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility with borrowing availability of up to $50,000 which the Company may use for its working capital and investment needs

58

and for the reimbursement of letters of credit. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.00%, and are collateralized by first priority security interests of certain of the Company's deposit accounts and publicly traded securities. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a minimum cash balance covenant, and customary events of default. All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility are due and payable in full on October 23, 2016. In April 2014, the Company borrowed approximately $47,500 under the Credit Facility in connection with a tender offer for its common units (see Note 15 – "Capital and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" to the SPLP financial statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information). The Amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was $36,582 as of June 30, 2014.

Discussion of Segment Liquidity and Capital Resources

HNH

As of June 30, 2014, HNH’s current assets totaled $231,430, its current liabilities totaled $97,997, and its working capital was $133,433, as compared to working capital of $104,543 as of December 31, 2013. HNH's cash used in operations was $1,558 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $3,314 in the 2013 period. SPLP's consolidated financial statements reflect pre-tax income from continuing operations of $21,101 and $29,466 relating to HNH for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

HNH's debt is principally held by H&H Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNH. HNH's subsidiaries borrow funds in order to finance capital expansion programs and for working capital needs. The terms of certain of those financing arrangements place restrictions on distributions of funds to HNH, the parent company, subject to certain exceptions including required pension payments to the WHX Corporation Pension Plan. HNH does not expect these restrictions to have an impact on HNH's ability to meet its cash obligations. HNH's ongoing operating cash flow requirements consist primarily of arranging for the funding of the minimum requirements of the WHX Corporation Pension Plan and paying HNH's administrative costs. HNH expects to have required minimum contributions to the WHX Corporation Pension Plan of $16,900 for the remainder of 2014, and $21,400, $16,800, $15,500, $13,700 and $27,200 in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and for the five years thereafter, respectively. Such required contributions are estimated based upon assumptions regarding such matters as discount rates on future obligations, assumed rates of return on plan assets and legislative changes. Actual future pension costs and required funding obligations will be affected by changes in the factors and assumptions described in the previous sentence, as well as other changes such as any plan termination.

HNH believes it has access to adequate resources to meet its needs for normal operating costs, capital expenditures, mandatory debt redemptions and working capital for its existing business. These resources include cash and cash equivalents, cash provided by operating activities and unused lines of credit. As of June 30, 2014, H&H Group's availability under its senior secured revolving credit facility was $56,400. HNH's ability to satisfy its debt service obligations, to fund planned capital expenditures and required pension payments, and to make acquisitions will depend upon its future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the markets in which it operates, as well as financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond its control. The ability of H&H Group to draw on its senior secured revolving credit facility is limited by a borrowing base of accounts receivable and inventory. In addition, HNH's senior secured credit facility is subject to certain mandatory prepayment provisions and restrictive and financial covenants. There can be no assurances that H&H Group will continue to have access to its lines of credit if its financial performance does not satisfy the relevant borrowing base criteria and financial covenants set forth in the financing agreement. If H&H Group does not meet certain of its financial covenants or satisfy its borrowing base criteria, and if it is unable to secure necessary waivers or other amendments from the respective lenders on terms acceptable to management, its ability to access available lines of credit could be limited, its debt obligations could be accelerated by the respective lenders and liquidity could be adversely affected.

In June 2014, WHX CS Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNH, entered into a credit agreement ("WHX CS Loan"), which provides for a term loan facility with borrowing availability of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $15,000. Proceeds from borrowings under this agreement may be used for general corporate needs and investment purposes. Availability under the WHX CS Loan is equal to 50% of the value of HNH's investment in ModusLink common stock. Draw-downs are available for a period of up to twelve months ending June 3, 2015. Amounts advanced and repaid under the agreement may not be reborrowed. At the end of the draw-down period, the principal drawn will be converted into a two year term loan with a five year amortization and associated quarterly principal payments. All amounts outstanding under the WHX CS Loan are due and payable in full on June 3, 2017. As of June 30, 2014, borrowings under the WHX CS Loan totaled $4,500, and the related proceeds were utilized to fund repurchases of HNH's common stock under its 2014 common stock repurchase program.

59

HNH's management is utilizing the following strategies to continue to enhance liquidity: (1) continuing to implement improvements, using the HNH Business System, throughout all of HNH's operations to increase sales and operating efficiencies, (2) supporting profitable sales growth both internally and potentially through acquisitions and (3) evaluating from time to time and as appropriate, strategic alternatives with respect to its businesses and/or assets. HNH continues to examine all of its options and strategies, including acquisitions, divestitures and other corporate transactions, to increase cash flow and stockholder value.

DGT

At April 30, 2014, its most recent fiscal period, DGT had approximately $3,000 in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $48,750 of investments.

DGT's operations currently consist of a real estate business from rental buildings retained from the sale of its Power Conversion business on August 16, 2012 and the sale of its Medical Systems Group on November 3, 2011. Continuing operations consist of the real estate business, investments, and general and administrative expenses.

Steel Excel

As of June 30, 2014, Steel Excel's working capital was approximately $218,176. Steel Excel's principal source of liquidity is cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand.

At June 30, 2014, Steel Excel had approximately $226,695 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The marketable securities included short-term deposits, corporate debt and equity instruments and mutual funds. In the future, Steel Excel may make additional acquisitions of businesses, and may use a significant portion of its available cash balances for such acquisitions or for working capital needs thereafter.

Steel Excel's credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank National Association, RBS Citizens, N.A., and Comerica Bank provided for a borrowing capacity of $105,000 consisting of a $95,000 secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) and up to $10,000 in revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) subject to a borrowing base of 85% of the eligible accounts receivable. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement, which totaled $85,900 at June 30, 2014, are collateralized by substantially all the assets of Steel Energy Ltd. ("Steel Energy") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Sun Well Service, Inc. (“Sun Well”), Rogue Pressure Services, LLC (“Rogue”), and Black Hawk Energy Services Ltd. (Black Hawk Ltd.), and a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Sun Well, Rogue, and Black Hawk Ltd. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are fully guaranteed by Sun Well, Rogue, and Black Hawk Ltd. Steel Excel was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2014.

Steel Excel believes that its cash balances will be sufficient to satisfy its anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Steel Excel anticipates making additional acquisitions and it may be required to use a significant portion of its available cash balances for such acquisitions or for working capital needs thereafter. The consummation of additional acquisitions, prevailing economic conditions, and financial, business and other factors beyond its control could adversely affect Steel Excel's estimates of its future cash requirements. As such, Steel Excel could be required to fund our cash requirements by alternative financing. In these instances, Steel Excel may seek to raise such additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings or from other sources. As a result, Steel Excel may not be able to obtain adequate or favorable equity financing, if needed, due in part to its shares of common stock currently trading on the OTCQB Market. Any equity financing we obtain may dilute existing ownership interests, and any debt financing could contain covenants that impose limitations on the conduct of Steel Excel's business. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to Steel Excel or at all.

WebBank

WebBank manages its liquidity to provide adequate funds to meet anticipated financial obligations such as certificate of deposit maturities and to fund customer credit needs. WebBank had $90,987 and $90,452 in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. WebBank had $13,400 in lines of credit from its correspondent banks at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and had $31,797 and $29,055 available from the Federal Reserve discount window at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. WebBank had a total of $136,184 and $132,907 in cash, lines of credit, and access to the Federal Reserve Bank discount window at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which represents approximately 76% and 77%, respectively, of WebBank's total assets.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

There were no material changes in the Company's contractual obligations at June 30, 2014, as compared to those reported in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

We have off-balance sheet risk related to certain financial instruments, including futures, options, foreign currency financial instruments, undisbursed loan commitments, and short sales of corporate securities. Each of these financial instruments and activities contains varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby the fair values of the securities underlying the financial instruments may be in excess of, or less than, the contract amount. The settlement of these transactions is not expected to have a significant effect upon our consolidated financial statements. For additional information regarding these arrangements, refer to Note 6 – "Financial Instruments," to the SPLP financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
