BROOKLYN, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/19/07 -- Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (AMEX: JVA) today announced its operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2007. In this release, the Company:

--  Reports net sales of $12,635,112 for the three months ended January
    31, 2007;

--  Reports net income of $309,684 for the three months ended January 31,
    2007; and

--  Reports net income of $0.06 per share (basic and diluted) for the
    three months ended January 31, 2007.
    

Net income was $309,684, or $.06 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended January 31, 2007 compared to net income of $519,638, or $.09 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended January 31, 2006. The decrease primarily reflects losses related to our Café La Rica joint venture, including a $63,939 equity loss, a $33,000 writedown in the investment in the joint venture and a $242,000 writedown in amounts due from the joint venture. These losses reduced our net income by $338,939, or $0.04 per share, for the three months ended January 31, 2007.

"An overall strong quarter was tarnished once again by the disappointing situation with our Florida joint venture," said Andrew Gordon, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As a result, we have chosen to dissolve the joint venture and must now attempt to recoup our assets. However, once this problem is resolved, we will explore other avenues to build our Florida and southeast business base."
