Item 8.01.
Other Events.
 
Handy & Harman Ltd. (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the historical consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10−K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 (the “2010 Form 10−K” and the “2009 Form 10-K”, respectively) to present the results of (i) Eurokasco, S.A.S. (“Kasco-France”), which was sold by the Company in the third quarter of 2011 and was part of the Company’s Kasco Blades and Route Repair Services segment, (ii) the Company’s former Arlon Coated Materials segment and (iii) the Company’s Indiana Tube Denmark A/S and Sumco, Inc. subsidiaries (together with Kasco-France and Arlon Coated Materials, collectively, the “Divested Businesses”) as discontinued operations on a retroactive basis for the full years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.  The information in this Form 8−K does not constitute an amendment to or restatement of either the 2010 Form 10−K or the 2009 Form 10-K.
 
The following Items of the 2010 Form 10−K and 2009 Form 10-K are hereby being retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of accounting for the Divested Businesses as discontinued operations for the periods set forth above:
 
 
·
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and
 
 
·
Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
 
The presentation of the Divested Businesses as discontinued operations affects only the manner in which certain financial information was previously reported and does not restate or revise the Company’s net income in any previously reported financial statements. Except for matters noted above affecting changes in presentation, no other information in the 2010 Form 10−K or 2009 Form 10-K is being updated for events or developments that occurred subsequent to the filing of the 2010 Form 10−K on March 11, 2011 or the filing of the 2009 Form 10-K on March 30, 2010. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for the matters noted above, this filing does not purport to update the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the 2010 Form 10−K or in the 2009 Form 10-K for any information, uncertainties, transactions, proceedings, risks, events or trends occurring or known to management.  More current information is contained in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10−Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which contain important information regarding events and developments of the Company that have occurred since the filing of the 2010 Form 10−K and the 2009 Form 10-K.  This Current Report on Form 8−K and the information contained in the exhibits hereto should be read in conjunction with, and as a supplement to, the Company’s 2010 Form 10−K, 2009 Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10−Q and other filings with the SEC.  This update is consistent with the presentation of continuing and discontinued operations included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10−Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
