                               SUMMARY TERM SHEET

      BZ Acquisition Corp. ("BZ Acquisition" or "we"), a Delaware corporation
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Steel Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Steel Partners II"), is offering to purchase all outstanding
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Bairnco Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Bairnco") (together with the associated preferred stock
purchase rights), for $13.50 net per share in cash, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase, dated
March 2, 2007 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to
Purchase"), this Supplement to the Offer to Purchase (this "Supplement") and the
Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"). The
following are some of the questions you, as a Bairnco stockholder, may have and
answers to those questions. This summary term sheet is not meant to be a
substitute for the information contained in the remainder of this Supplement,
the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. We urge you to
carefully read this entire Supplement, the Offer to Purchase and the related
Letter of Transmittal.

WHY ARE YOU SENDING THIS SUPPLEMENT?

      We are sending you this Supplement to inform you that, as permitted by the
merger agreement, dated as of February 23, 2007, among Steel Partners II, BZ
Acquisition and Bairnco, Steel Partners II may transfer its entire interest in
BZ Acquisition to WHX Corporation ("WHX"), a Delaware corporation and an
affiliate of Steel Partners II, for nominal consideration. The consummation of
this transfer of BZ Acquisition from Steel Partners II to WHX is conditioned
upon WHX obtaining, prior to the expiration of the offer, any required financing
to consummate the offer, which financing may be provided by Steel Partners II,
and final approval by the WHX board of directors.

      THE TRANSFER OF BZ ACQUISITION FROM STEEL PARTNERS II TO WHX WILL NOT
CHANGE ANY OF THE CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER OR ADD A FINANCING CONDITION TO THE
OFFER. See "The Offer--Section 15" in the Offer to Purchase for a description of
the conditions to the offer. If WHX obtains financing and receives final board
approval, then Steel Partners II will complete the transfer of BZ Acquisition to
WHX, and BZ Acquisition will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to
the offer, consummate the offer as a wholly owned subsidiary of WHX. If WHX does
not obtain financing or receive final board approval, then BZ Acquisition will
remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Steel Partners II and, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions to the offer, the offer will be consummated by
Steel Partners II and BZ Acquisition. Steel Partners II's and BZ Acquisition's
obligations to consummate the offer are not conditioned upon obtaining
financing. Steel Partners II will file an amendment to its Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission and issue a
press release in the event that the transfer of BZ Acquisition to WHX is
consummated.

      All references in this Supplement and the Offer to Purchase to affiliates
of Steel Partners II include WHX.

WHO IS OFFERING TO BUY MY SECURITIES?

      Our name is BZ Acquisition Corp. We are a Delaware corporation formed to
serve as an acquisition vehicle with no current operations other than those
incident to the offer. We are currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Steel
Partners II. In the event that Steel Partners II transfers its entire interest
in us to WHX, then we will become a wholly owned subsidiary of WHX. See "The
Offer--Section 4" of this Supplement.

WHAT SECURITIES ARE YOU OFFERING TO PURCHASE?

      We are offering to purchase all of the outstanding common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, and the associated preferred stock purchase rights, of Bairnco.
We refer to one share of Bairnco common stock, together with the associated
stock purchase right, as a "share" or "Share". See "Introduction" to each of
this Supplement and the Offer to Purchase.


                                       1


HOW MUCH ARE YOU OFFERING TO PAY FOR MY SHARES AND WHAT IS THE FORM OF PAYMENT?

      We are offering to pay you $13.50 per share in cash without brokerage
fees, commissions or, except in certain circumstances, transfer taxes. See
"Introduction" to each of this Supplement and the Offer to Purchase. Initially,
on June 22, 2006, we commenced an offer, which we refer to as our original
offer, to purchase all of the outstanding shares at a price of $12.00 net per
share in cash. We increased the offer price to $13.35 net per share in cash on
February 2, 2007 and, on February 23, 2007, increased the offer price to $13.50
net per share in cash pursuant to our merger agreement with Bairnco.

IF I TENDER MY SHARES, WILL I RECEIVE THE $0.10 PER SHARE FIRST QUARTER DIVIDEND
DECLARED BY BAIRNCO?

      If you validly tender your shares as described below, you will still
retain ownership of your shares until such time as the offer is successfully
consummated and we accept your shares for payment. Accordingly, even if you
tendered your shares pursuant to the offer prior to Bairnco's March 5, 2007
dividend record date, you remain entitled to receive Bairnco's declared first
quarter dividend of $0.10 per share, for total cash proceeds of $13.60 per share
pursuant to the offer and the dividend. The dividend is payable on March 30,
2007. See "The Offer--Section 14" of the Offer to Purchase.

DO YOU HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY FOR THE SHARES?

      Yes. If we remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Steel Partners II, we will
need approximately $86.5 million to purchase all Shares pursuant to the offer
not already owned by Steel Partners II, to pay the first quarter dividend and to
pay related fees and expenses. As of the date of this Supplement, Steel Partners
II had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments substantially in
excess of the approximately $86.5 million required to acquire the Shares and pay
the first quarter dividend. See "The Offer--Section 10" in the Offer to
Purchase.

      If Steel Partners II transfers its entire interest in us to WHX, then we
will need approximately $101.5 million to purchase all Shares pursuant to the
offer, including Shares owned by Steel Partners II, to pay the first quarter
dividend and to pay related fees and expenses. The obtaining of financing by WHX
is a condition to the transfer of BZ Acquisition to WHX; it is NOT a condition
to the offer itself. If WHX obtains financing and acquires Steel Partners II's
entire interest in us, we will amend our Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO
as required to describe the terms of any third-party financing obtained by WHX.
Steel Partners II may provide any required financing to WHX. See "The
Offer--Section 5" of this Supplement.

      Accordingly, the offer is not conditioned upon obtaining financing in
either case.

IS YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION RELEVANT TO MY DECISION TO TENDER IN THE OFFER?

      Because the form of payment for your Shares consists solely of cash and
the purchase of the Shares is not conditioned upon obtaining financing, we do
not think our financial condition is material to your decision whether to tender
in the offer.

IS THERE AN AGREEMENT GOVERNING THE OFFER?

      Yes. Bairnco, Steel Partners II and we have entered into a merger
agreement, dated as of February 23, 2007. The merger agreement provides, among
other things, for the terms and conditions of the offer and our subsequent
merger into Bairnco. See "The Offer--Section 13" in the Offer to Purchase.

WHAT DOES THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF BAIRNCO THINK OF THE OFFER?

      The Board of Directors of Bairnco has unanimously approved our merger
agreement with Bairnco and the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement, including the offer and the merger, and it has also unanimously: (1)
determined that the terms of the offer and the merger are advisable to the
stockholders of Bairnco and (2) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of
Bairnco accept the offer and tender their shares to us pursuant to the offer. In
addition, Bairnco has advised us that the Board of Directors of Bairnco has
received an opinion, dated February 23, 2007, from Lazard Freres & Co. LLC,


                                       2


Bairnco's financial advisor, to the effect that, as of the date of its opinion
and based on and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its
opinion, the offer price of $13.50 per Share to be paid to the holders of the
shares (other than Steel Partners II, BZ Acquisition and their respective
affiliates or, if applicable, holders of shares as to which dissenter's rights
have been perfected) in the offer and the merger pursuant to the merger
agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. See
"Introduction" to each of this Supplement and the Offer to Purchase.

WHAT ARE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER?

      The offer is conditioned upon, among other things, there being validly
tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of the offer a number of shares
which, together with the shares then owned by Steel Partners II, BZ Acquisition
and their affiliates, represents at least a majority of the total number of
shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, which we refer to as the "minimum
condition." We cannot waive this minimum condition unless Bairnco consents to a
waiver. The tender offer is also subject to a number of other conditions, which
may be waived by us in our reasonable discretion. The potential transfer of BZ
Acquisition to WHX will have no impact on these conditions. These conditions are
described in "The Offer--Section 15" in the Offer to Purchase.

      On August 7, 2006, the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, relating to the offer expired.
The potential transfer of BZ Acquisition to WHX does not affect the waiting
period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. Accordingly, the condition to the offer
relating to the expiration of the waiting period under this act has been
satisfied.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO TENDER IN THE OFFER?

      You have until the expiration date of the offer to tender. The offer
currently is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday,
April 13, 2007.

CAN THE TENDER OFFER BE EXTENDED AND UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES?

      Yes. The merger agreement provides that we may extend the tender offer
beyond Friday, April 13, 2007, without the consent of Bairnco, under the
following circumstances:

   o  if, at any scheduled expiration of the offer, any of the conditions to the
      offer have not been satisfied or waived, we may extend the offer, in order
      to permit those conditions to be satisfied, in increments of not more than
      five business days each, and no more than 20 business days in the
      aggregate;

   o  we may extend the offer for any period required by any rule, regulation or
      interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission; or

   o  if, at any scheduled expiration of the offer, the number of shares that
      have been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer,
      together with the shares then owned by Steel Partners II, BZ Acquisition
      and their affiliates, represents more than 50% of the total number of
      shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis but less than 90% of the
      outstanding shares, we may extend the offer one or more times for an
      aggregate of up to 20 business days.

      In lieu of extending the offer under the circumstances described in the
third bullet point above, we may, without the consent of Bairnco, make available
a "subsequent offering period" of 10 to 20 business days. A subsequent offering
period, which is different from an extension of the tender offer, is an
additional period of time, beginning after we have purchased shares tendered
during the offer, during which stockholders may tender, but not withdraw, their
shares and receive the offer consideration. Because we have already extended the
offer for 20 business days as permitted by the third bullet point above, we may
not extend the offer again under this provision or make available a subsequent
offering period. See "The Offer--Section 1" in the Offer to Purchase.


                                       3


HOW WILL I BE NOTIFIED IF THE OFFER IS EXTENDED?

      If we decide to extend the offer, we will inform American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, the depositary for the offer, of that fact and will make a public
announcement of the extension, no later than 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on
the next business day after the date the offer was scheduled to expire. See "The
Offer--Section 1" in the Offer to Purchase.

CAN THE OFFER BE TERMINATED AND, IF SO, WOULD BAIRNCO BE OBLIGATED TO PAY US A
TERMINATION FEE?

      Under the merger agreement, the offer may be terminated: (1) by mutual
written consent of Steel Partners II and Bairnco; (2) if the first acceptance of
shares for payment pursuant to the offer has not occurred by May 15, 2007; (3)
if a final and non-appealable action by a governmental authority prevents,
prohibits or otherwise makes illegal the consummation of the offer or the
merger; (4) if Steel Partners II, BZ Acquisition or Bairnco has materially
breached its representations, warranties or covenants; or (5) if the Board of
Directors of Bairnco withdraws or modifies, in a manner adverse to Steel
Partners II, BZ Acquisition or any of their affiliates, its approval or
recommendation of the merger agreement, the offer or the merger or recommends or
approves a competing takeover proposal for Bairnco. Some of these termination
events, either alone or combined with the existence and/or acceptance of a
competing takeover proposal, would give rise to Bairnco's obligation to pay us a
termination fee of $3,500,000 and reimburse us for up to $1,000,000 of our
expenses in connection with the offer. See "The Offer--Section 13" in the Offer
to Purchase.

HOW DO I TENDER MY SHARES?

      To tender shares, you must deliver the certificates representing your
shares, together with a completed and signed Letter of Transmittal and any other
required documents, to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary
for the offer, not later than the time the offer expires. If your shares are
held in street name by your broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other
nominee, such nominee can tender your shares through The Depository Trust
Company. If you cannot deliver everything required to make a valid tender to the
depositary before the expiration of the offer, you may have a limited amount of
additional time by having a financial institution (including most banks, savings
and loan associations and brokerage houses) that is a member of a recognized
Medallion Program approved by The Securities Transfer Association Inc.,
including the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), the Stock
Exchange Medallion Program (SEMP) and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.
Medallion Signature Program (MSP), guarantee, pursuant to a Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery, that the missing items will be received by the depositary within three
business days. However, the depositary must receive the missing items within
that three business day period. See "The Offer--Section 3" in the Offer to
Purchase.

UNTIL WHAT TIME CAN I WITHDRAW TENDERED SHARES?

      You can withdraw tendered shares at any time until the offer has expired
and, following such expiration, you can withdraw them at any time until we
accept shares for payment. You may not, however, withdraw shares tendered during
a subsequent offering period, if one is included. See "The Offer--Section 4" in
the Offer to Purchase.

HOW DO I WITHDRAW TENDERED SHARES?

      To withdraw shares, you must deliver a written notice of withdrawal, or a
facsimile of one, with the required information to American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company while you have the right to withdraw the shares. See "The
Offer--Section 4" in the Offer to Purchase.

WHEN AND HOW WILL I BE PAID FOR MY TENDERED SHARES?

      Subject to the terms and conditions of the offer, we will pay for all
validly tendered and not withdrawn shares promptly after the expiration of the
offer. See "The Offer--Section 2" in the Offer to Purchase.


                                       4


      We will pay for your validly tendered and not withdrawn shares by
depositing the purchase price with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company,
which will act as your agent for the purpose of receiving payments from us and
transmitting such payments to you. In all cases, payment for tendered shares
will be made only after timely receipt by American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company of certificates for such shares (or of a confirmation of a book-entry
transfer of such shares as described in "The Offer--Section 3--Book-Entry
Delivery" in the Offer to Purchase), a properly completed and duly executed
Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) and any other required documents
for such shares. See "The Offer--Section 2" in the Offer to Purchase.

HAVE ANY STOCKHOLDERS OF BAIRNCO AGREED TO TENDER THEIR SHARES?

      Yes. All of the members of the Board of Directors of Bairnco and all of
Bairnco's senior executive officers, including Luke E. Fichthorn, III, Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth L. Bayne, Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer, Larry D. Smith, Vice President, Administration, and
Lawrence C. Maingot, Corporate Controller, have entered into a tender and
support agreement under which they have agreed to tender their shares in the
offer. Together, as of the date of this Supplement, these individuals own,
beneficially or of record, 792,459 shares (excluding stock options),
representing approximately 10.7% of Bairnco's outstanding shares. As of the date
of this Supplement, all of these shares have been tendered pursuant to the
offer.

      In addition, as of the date of this Supplement, Steel Partners II
beneficially owns 1,110,200 shares, representing approximately 14.9% of
Bairnco's outstanding shares, in addition to the shares subject to the tender
and support agreement it may be deemed to beneficially own. If we remain a
wholly owned subsidiary of Steel Partners II, Steel Partners II will not tender
these shares in the offer, but these shares will be counted for the purpose of
determining whether the minimum condition has been satisfied. In the event that
we become a wholly owned subsidiary of WHX, Steel Partners II has indicated to
us that it will tender all of the shares that it owns in the offer. See
"Introduction" to each of this Supplement and the Offer to Purchase and "The
Offer--Section 13" in the Offer to Purchase.

WILL THE OFFER BE FOLLOWED BY A MERGER IF ALL THE SHARES ARE NOT TENDERED IN THE
OFFER?

      If we accept for payment and pay for a number of shares which, together
with the shares then owned by Steel Partners II, BZ Acquisition and their
affiliates, represents at least a majority of the outstanding shares on a fully
diluted basis, we will merge with and into Bairnco. Upon consummation of that
merger, Steel Partners II (or WHX, if WHX acquires us from Steel Partners II)
will own, directly or indirectly, all of the shares and all remaining
stockholders (other than us, our direct parent entity and stockholders properly
exercising their appraisal rights) will receive the price per share paid in the
offer. See "The Offer--Section 12" in the Offer to Purchase.

IF I DECIDE NOT TO TENDER, HOW WILL THE OFFER AFFECT MY SHARES?

      If the offer is successful, we will own a sufficient number of shares to
conclude a merger in which all remaining outstanding shares of Bairnco will
automatically be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash per share
equal to the price per share paid in the offer. Upon consummation of this
second-step merger, stockholders who do not tender in the offer (other than
those properly exercising their appraisal rights) will receive the same amount
of cash per share that they would have received had they tendered their shares
in the offer. Therefore, the main difference between tendering and not tendering
shares in the offer is that tendering stockholders will be paid earlier. In
addition, in connection with the consummation of this merger, stockholders of
Bairnco who have neither voted in favor of the merger nor consented thereto in
writing, and who otherwise under Delaware law comply with the applicable
statutory procedures, will be entitled to receive a judicial determination of
the fair value of their shares (exclusive of any element of value arising from
the accomplishment or expectation of such merger) and to receive payment of such
fair value in cash, together with a fair rate of interest, if any. See "The
Offer--Section 12 (Appraisal Rights)" beginning on page 27 of the Offer to
Purchase.

WHAT IS THE MARKET VALUE OF MY SHARES AS OF A RECENT DATE?

      On June 14, 2006, the last full business day before the announcement of
our intention to commence our original offer, the last reported sales price of
Bairnco common stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange was $9.93 per


                                       5


share. On February 23, 2007, the date on which we announced our merger agreement
with Bairnco, the last reported sales price of Bairnco common stock reported on
the New York Stock Exchange was $13.50 per share. Please obtain a recent
quotation for your shares prior to deciding whether or not to tender.

WHAT ARE THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATING IN THE OFFER?

      In general, your sale of shares pursuant to the offer will be a taxable
transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may also be a taxable
transaction under applicable state, local or foreign income or other tax laws.
You should consult your tax advisor about the tax consequences to you of
participating in the offer in light of your particular circumstances. See "The
Offer--Section 5" in the Offer to Purchase.

IF I ALREADY TENDERED MY SHARES IN THE ORIGINAL OFFER OR PRIOR TO THE RECEIPT OF
THIS SUPPLEMENT, DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING NEW?

      No. Bairnco stockholders do not have to take any action regarding any
shares previously validly tendered and not withdrawn. If the offer is completed,
these shares will be accepted for payment and such stockholders will receive the
offer price of $13.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest,
less any applicable withholding taxes. Stockholders of record on March 5, 2007
will also receive the $0.10 per share first quarter dividend declared by
Bairnco, which is payable on March 30, 2007, for total cash proceeds of $13.60

To the Stockholders of Bairnco Corporation:

                                  INTRODUCTION

      The following information (this "Supplement") amends and supplements the
Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase, dated March 2, 2007 (together with any
amendments or supplements thereto, the "Offer to Purchase"), of BZ Acquisition
Corp. (the "Purchaser" or "we"), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Steel Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Steel
Partners II"), pursuant to which we are offering to purchase all outstanding
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of
Bairnco Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the associated
preferred stock purchase rights (the "Rights" and, together with the Common
Stock, the "Shares") issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of June
22, 2006, as amended as of February 23, 2007, between the Company and
Computershare Investor Services, LLC, as the rights agent (the "Rights
Agreement"), for $13.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, this Supplement
and the Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal (which, together with is
amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the "Offer").
Stockholders of record on March 5, 2007 remain entitled to receive the Company's
declared first quarter dividend of $0.10 per Share (the "Dividend"), which is
payable on March 30, 2007, for total cash proceeds of $13.60 per Share pursuant
to the Offer and the Dividend. Stockholders are entitled to receive the Dividend
even if they tendered their Shares pursuant to the Offer prior to the March 5,
2007 record date.

      This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Offer to Purchase.
Except as otherwise set forth in this Supplement, the terms and conditions
previously set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal
remain applicable in all respects to the Offer. Unless the context otherwise
requires, all capitalized terms used but not defined in this Supplement have the
respective meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

      Procedures for tendering Shares are set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to
Purchase.

      We are sending you this Supplement to inform you that, as permitted by the
Merger Agreement (as defined below), Steel Partners II may transfer its entire
interest in the Purchaser (the "BZA Transfer") to WHX Corporation ("WHX"), a
Delaware corporation and an affiliate of Steel Partners II, for nominal
consideration. The consummation of the BZA Transfer is conditioned upon WHX
obtaining, prior to the Expiration Date, any required financing to consummate
the Offer, which financing may be provided by Steel Partners II, and final
approval by the WHX board of directors. THE BZA TRANSFER WILL NOT CHANGE ANY OF
THE CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER OR ADD A FINANCING CONDITION TO THE OFFER. If WHX
obtains financing and receives final board approval, then the BZA Transfer will
be completed, and the Purchaser will, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions to the Offer, consummate the Offer as a wholly owned subsidiary of
WHX. If WHX does not obtaining financing or receive final board approval, then
the Purchaser will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Steel Partners II and,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the Offer, the Offer will be
consummated by Steel Partners II and the Purchaser. Steel Partners II's and the
Purchaser's obligations to consummate the Offer are not conditioned upon
obtaining financing. All references in this Supplement and the Offer to Purchase
to affiliates of Steel Partners II include WHX.

      The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of February 23, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Steel Partners
II, the Purchaser and the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as promptly
as practicable after the completion of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver
of specified conditions, the Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company
with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Steel Partners II (or WHX, in the event the BZA Transfer is
completed) (the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger, each Share then
outstanding (other than Shares owned by the Purchaser or its direct parent
entity, Shares owned by the Company as treasury stock and Shares held by
stockholders who properly exercise their appraisal rights) will automatically be
converted into the right to receive $13.50 per Share in cash, or any higher
price per Share paid in the Offer (such price being referred to herein as the
"Offer Price"), without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes.
Stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law will
receive a judicially determined fair value for their Shares (exclusive of any
element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger),
which value could be more or less than the Offer Price, together with a fair
rate of interest, if any. See "The Offer--Section 12" in the Offer to Purchase.


                                       7


For a more complete description of the Merger Agreement, see "The Offer--Section
13" in the Offer to Purchase.

      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY (THE "COMPANY BOARD") HAS
UNANIMOUSLY: (1) DETERMINED THAT THE TERMS OF THE OFFER AND THE MERGER ARE
ADVISABLE TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY; (2) APPROVED THE MERGER AGREEMENT
AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE MERGER AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE OFFER
AND THE MERGER; AND (3) RESOLVED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE
COMPANY ACCEPT THE OFFER AND TENDER THEIR SHARES TO THE PURCHASER PURSUANT TO
THE OFFER.

      The Company has advised us that the Company Board has received an opinion,
dated February 23, 2007, from Lazard Freres & Co. LLC ("Lazard"), the Company's
financial advisor, to the effect that, as of the date of its opinion and based
on and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its opinion, the
Offer Price to be paid to the holders of the Shares (other than Steel Partners
II, the Purchaser and their respective affiliates or, if applicable, holders of
Shares as to which dissenter's rights have been perfected) in the Offer and the
Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view,
to such holders. The full text of Lazard's opinion, which sets forth the
assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken,
is attached as an exhibit to the Company's amendment to its
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any
amendments or supplements thereto, the "Schedule 14D-9") filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 5, 2007.
STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE OPINION CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

      The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, there being validly
tendered and not withdrawn before the Expiration Date a number of Shares which,
together with the Shares then owned by Steel Partners II, the Purchaser and
their affiliates, represents at least a majority of the total number of Shares
outstanding on a fully diluted basis (the "Minimum Condition"). The Offer is
also subject to a number of other conditions, which are described in "The
Offer--Section 15" in the Offer to Purchase. The Offer is NOT conditioned upon
Steel Partners II, WHX or the Purchaser obtaining financing or WHX receiving
final approval of its board of directors.

      The Company has advised us that, as of the date of this Supplement, (i)
7,427,762 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding and (ii) 212,577
shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding Company
options. All of the members of the Company Board and all of the Company's senior
executive officers, including Luke E. Fichthorn, III, Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth L. Bayne, Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, Larry D. Smith, Vice President, Administration, and Lawrence C.
Maingot, Corporate Controller, have entered into a Tender and Support Agreement,
dated as of February 23, 2007, with Steel Partners II (the "Tender and Support
Agreement"), under which they have agreed to tender their Shares in the Offer.
Together, as of the date of this Supplement, these individuals own, beneficially
or of record, 792,459 Shares (excluding stock options), representing
approximately 10.7% of the Company's outstanding Shares (the "Tender and Support
Agreement Shares"). In addition, as of the date of this Supplement, Steel
Partners II beneficially owns 1,110,200 Shares, representing approximately 14.9%
of the Company's outstanding Shares, in addition to the Tender and Support
Agreement Shares it may be deemed to beneficially own. If the BZA Transfer is
not consummated, Steel Partners II will not tender these Shares in the Offer,
but these Shares will be counted for the purpose of determining whether the
Minimum Condition has been satisfied. In the event that the BZA Transfer is
completed, Steel Partners II has indicated to us that it will tender all of the
Shares that it owns in the Offer. As of the close of business on March 29, 2007,
an aggregate of 4,474,425 Shares (including the Tender and Support Agreement
Shares) had been tendered in and not withdrawn from the Offer, which, together
with the Shares owned by Steel Partners II, the Purchaser and their affiliates,
represents approximately 73.1% of the total Shares outstanding on a fully
diluted basis and is sufficient to satisfy the Minimum Condition.

      SHARES PREVIOUSLY TENDERED AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THIS
SUPPLEMENT (INCLUDING PURSUANT TO THE ORIGINAL OFFER) AND NOT WITHDRAWN
CONSTITUTE VALID TENDERS FOR PURPOSES OF THE OFFER. STOCKHOLDERS WHO HAVE
VALIDLY TENDERED AND NOT WITHDRAWN THEIR SHARES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY
FURTHER ACTION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE OFFER PRICE
OF $13.50 NET PER SHARE IN CASH IF SHARES ARE ACCEPTED FOR PAYMENT AND PAID FOR
BY THE PURCHASER PURSUANT TO THE OFFER, EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE
GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES IF SUCH PROCEDURES WERE UTILIZED. SEE "THE
OFFER--SECTION 3" IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.


                                       8


      The purpose of the Offer and the Merger is to acquire control of, and the
entire equity interest in, the Company. Under Delaware Law, if we acquire,
pursuant to the Offer or otherwise, at least 90% of the outstanding Shares, we
would be able to approve the Merger without a vote of the remaining
stockholders. If we do not acquire at least 90% of the outstanding Shares, we
will have to seek approval of the Merger by the Company's stockholders. In such
event, approval of the Merger would require the affirmative vote of holders of a
majority of the outstanding Shares. Following the consummation of the Offer, we
would own a majority of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis, and
would thus be able to approve the Merger without the affirmative vote of any
other stockholders.

      THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION, AND YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THESE DOCUMENTS IN
THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER.
