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.
The
above
results of operations may contain certain forward-looking statements which
are
covered under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Legislation
Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Company’s future financial
performance. Although EXX INC believes the expectations reflected in
such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can
give
no assurance that its expectations will be realized. Forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks which may cause EXX INC’s actual
results and corporate developments to differ materially from those
expected. Factors that could cause results and developments to differ
materially from EXX INC’s expectations include, without limitation: EXX’s
ability to continue to access funding for its operations; the cyclical nature
of
the industries served by EXX, all of which have encountered significant
downturns in the past; the level of production by and demand from EXX's
principal customers upon which EXX is substantially dependent; whether, when
and
to what extent expected orders materialize; whether EXX will be able to
successfully launch new programs; the impact on EXX of actions by its
competitors, some of which are significantly larger and have greater financial
and other resources than EXX; and developments with respect to contingencies,
including environmental matters, litigation and retained liabilities from
businesses previously sold by EXX; changes in manufacturing and shipment
schedules; delays in completing plant construction and acquisitions, labor
disturbances, new product and technology developments, competition within each
business segment, litigation, significant cost variances, the effects of
acquisitions and divestitures, and other
risks.
