Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements:
Basis of Accounting	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2013 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 of Astea International Inc. and subsidiaries (“Astea” or the "Company") are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The following unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s latest annual report (Form 10-K) and our Form 10-Q’s for the quarters ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012, and September 30, 2012. The interim financial information presented is not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital ratio of .63:1, with cash and investments available for sale of $1,409,000. The Company believes that it has adequate cash resources to make the investments necessary to sustain its continuing operations for the next twelve months. The Company has projected revenues for 2013 that will generate enough funds to sustain its continuing operations. In addition, the Company has continued with a number of cost containment programs which are expected to monitor the cost of operating the business. The Company expects its cash from operations to fund all of its financing needs for the upcoming year. However, if actual results trail expectations, the Company has plans in place to reduce operating expenditures appropriately in order to continue to fund all required expenditures. The Board of Directors from time to time reviews the Company’s forecasted operations and financial condition to determine whether and when payment of a dividend or dividends is appropriate. The Company does not plan any significant capital expenditures in 2013 other than to replace its existing capital equipment as it becomes obsolete. In addition, it does not anticipate that its operations or financial condition will be affected materially by inflation.
