EXX INC ANNOUNCES NLRB DECISION AGAINST ITS NEWCOR SUBSIDIARY

Las Vegas, NV  September 27, 2007-EXX INC (Amex EXX-A and EXX-B) today announced that the Detroit, Michigan Regional Office of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) issued a recommended notice of compliance determination on September 25, 2007 with respect to the Newcor Bay City Division of EXX’s Newcor subsidiary in favor of approximately 32 UAW members, recommending a total of approximately $1.9 million in back pay, benefits, and interest to the 32 individuals.  The NLRB’s notice of compliance determination relates to a previously disclosed unfair labor practice charge filed by the UAW following implementation of a final contract offer.

Newcor intends to vigorously contest this recommendation through the administrative procedures of the NLRB and, if necessary, the federal court system.  There will be a hearing before an NLRB administrative Law Judge after the Regional Office issues its final compliance specification.  The Administrative Law Judge will issue a decision on the specification, which can be appealed to the National Labor Relations Board in Washington, D.C.   The NLRB will rule on an appeal from the Administration Law Judge’s decision.  The NLRB’s decision can be appealed to a federal court of appeals.

As a result of the determination and although it continues to deny any and all liability, Newcor will accrue a $2.0 million charge (including anticipated costs of contesting the decision) in the third quarter of 2007.  It is anticipated that this charge will result in EXX incurring a net loss in the third quarter of 2007.
