 EXX INC ANNOUNCES STRIKE AT THE HOWELL ELECTRIC MOTORS DIVISION OF SFM CORP

Las Vegas, NV. September 23, 2004-EXX INC (Amex: EXX-A and EXX-B) today
announced that early on the morning of September 22, 2004, employees
represented by Local 2066 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers (IBEW) walked off the job and commenced a strike at the Plainfield,
New Jersey facility of the Howell Electric Motors Division of EXX's SFM
CORP. subsidiary. Howell and the union have been unable to agree upon new
contract terms during an extension period for an expired labor contract. The
primary differences between the parties relate to the issue of the cost of
medical insurance. The union has rejected a contract term under which the
Company would pay 80 percent of the cost of medical insurance and the
employee would pay the remaining 20 percent.

The Company hopes for a quick resolution of the strike. Management of EXX
believes that the projected impact of the strike on the consolidated revenue
and earnings of EXX will not be material.
