         This Statement  amends and  supplements  the Tender Offer  Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission on March 31,
1997,  as  previously   amended  and  supplemented,   by  SB  Acquisition  Corp.
("Purchaser"),  a New York  corporation  and a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of WHX
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), to purchase up to 649,000 shares
of  Common  Stock,  par value  $.10 per share  (the  "Shares")  of the  Company,
including the  associated  Common Stock Purchase  Rights issued  pursuant to the
Rights Agreement,  dated as of January 30, 1986, as amended on December 27, 1995
(the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and First National Bank of Boston,
as Rights Agent, at a price of $45 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without
interest thereon,  upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase,  dated March 31, 1997, as amended and supplemented  from time
to time (the  "Offer to  Purchase")  and in the related  Letters of  Transmittal
(which,  together with any  amendments or  supplements  thereto,  constitute the
"Offer").  Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase and the Schedule 14D-1.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

         Item  10  is  hereby   amended  and   supplemented   by  the  following
information:

         The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino  Antitrust  Improvements
Act of 1976,  as  amended,  and the  regulations  thereunder  applicable  to the
purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer expired on April 16, 1997.

<PAGE>

         Purchaser has filed a counterclaim which seeks a judicial determination
that Article XV of the Company's  Certificate of Incorporation is invalid and/or
unenforceable,  because it is inconsistent with Section 912(b) of the NYBCL. The
Offer is not  conditioned  on a court  determination  on this issue prior to the
Expiration Date.
