ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
-------  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
-------------

     The following management's discussion and analysis of results of operations
and financial condition contains 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, changes in manufacturing and shipment schedules,
delays in completing plant construction and acquisitions, new product and
technology developments, competition within each business segment, cyclicality
of the markets for the products of a major segment, litigation, significant cost
variances, the effects of acquisitions and divestitures, and other risks.

         A.  Results of Operations
             ---------------------

             Sales for the third quarter of 2000 were $4,490,000 compared to
$4,005,000 in 1999, a 12% increase. For the nine month period, 2000 sales were
$14,008,000 compared to $15,538,000 in 1999. The Toy Segment's third quarter
sales totaled $1,892,000 compared to $1,187,000 in 1999, while the nine month
2000 sales totaled $5,207,000 compared to $5,120,000, in 1999. The Mechanical
equipment group's third quarter sales totaled $2,598,000 compared to $2,818,000
in 1999, while the nine month sales totaled $8,801,000 compared to $10,418,000
in 1999.

             Gross profit for the third quarter 2000 totaled $1,413,000 compared
to $1,555,000 in 1999. For the nine-month period, 2000 gross profits were
$4,841,000 compared to $6,163,000 in 1999.

             While third quarter Toy division sales show an increase, this is
the result of a swing between the second and third quarter sales and this does
not appear to be indicative of any trend. Management remains committed to
increase its customer base while attempting to improve sales in a highly
competitive and flat market.

             The third quarter Mechanical Equipment sales no longer reflect last
year's Y2K benefit to business, thus the decrease in sales and operating profit.
Management continues to actively review options for increasing both the sales
base and market share for both current and future operations.

             Operating profit was $474,000 for the third quarter 2000 compared
to $666,000 in 1999. For the nine months, operating profit was $1,786,000
compared to $2,636,000 in 1999.

             Interest expense was $24,000 for the third quarter 2000 compared to
$24,000 in the same period last year.  For the nine months, interest expense was
$72,000 compared to $90,000 for 1999.
