(Nasdaq:JVA) (the &quot;Company&quot;) today announced that the Company and Coffee Holding Acquisition LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the &quot;Buyer&quot;), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Organic Products Trading Company, a Washington corporation (the &quot;Seller&quot;).

<P style="line-height:14pt; margin-top:6.667px; margin-bottom:6.667px; font-size:12pt">&quot;We are excited and pleased to announce the addition of OPTCO into Coffee Holding Co.&nbsp;OPTCO's core business, the contracting and selling of high end quality Organic and Fair Trade Arabica coffees to roasters located throughout North America, is highly complementary to our existing current business strategy,&quot; said Andrew Gordon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;OTPCO is one of the largest purveyors of top quality sustainable coffees in North America and their over $10.0 million in annual revenues will be a welcome boost to our already thriving and successful green coffee sales division.&nbsp;In addition, OPTCO's current customer base of approximately 200 roasters will now be able to purchase the traditional gourmet Arabica coffees from our current inventories and our customer base will have immediate access to a consistent supply of the highest quality Organic and Fair T
rade Arabica coffees from a premier organization whose specialty has been procuring these coffees from around the world over the past twenty plus years.</P>
<P style="line-height:14pt; margin-top:6.667px; margin-bottom:6.667px; font-size:12pt">&quot;We believe that this transaction will be immediately accretive to both sales and earnings and that the synergies will be immediate, marrying our individual customer bases into one utilizing best practices.&nbsp;Organic and Fair Trade coffees still represent an upcoming and popular niche in what remains a fairly mature industry.&nbsp;Customers, both retail and wholesale, realize the social value and quality in these types of coffees and are willing to pay the premiums associated with them.&nbsp;In addition, these coffees and the trademarks acquired in this transaction, including the 'Cafe Femenino,'<B>&#174;</B> which singles out and helps female coffee producers, support an important social responsibility which we at Coffee Holding and our business partners wish to see highlighted and expanded both now and in the future as sustainability throughout the production pipeline becomes increasingly more important.&quot;</P
