FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Astea Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results

Horsham, PA, August 14, 2008—Astea International Inc. (NASDAQ:ATEA), a global provider of service management solutions, today released financial results for the second quarter of 2008.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, Astea reported revenues of $5.5 million compared to revenues of $6.9 million for the same period in 2007. Net loss for the second quarter was $2.1 million or ($.60) per share, compared to a net loss of $.3 million or ($.08) per share for the same period in 2007. License revenues were $.4 million compared to $1.3 million in 2007. Total service and maintenance revenues were $5.1 million compared to $5.6 million in 2007. Due to the effects of the restatements announced last year and earlier this year, quarter to quarter comparisons may not be an effective gauge of the trend in Astea’s performance, and reference should be made to the relevant quarterly and annual filings for further detail.

“Although Q2 results weren’t in line with what we anticipated, we remain confident in the strength of our products, people and ability to successfully execute on the current pipeline opportunities that we are actively pursuing. In addition, we remain relentless in our demand generation efforts and our pursuit to continue building additional pipeline opportunities. We see significant opportunities across all geographies and are confident in our market position given our unique products and the demonstrable value we provide to our global customer base,” stated Zack Bergreen, Chairman and CEO, Astea International. “Despite the challenging and complex sales process, we still have high levels of activity in both sales and professional services. As a result of the significant deals we have closed in recent quarters, in conjunction with many of our existing customers upgrading to our latest software release, we are very busy with more than 20 active global professional services engagements which will continue to fuel our healthy service revenues. Additionally, we are and have been aggressively pursuing our existing install base for cross-selling revenue opportunities as our customers upgrade to the latest release and express a strong interest in expanding functionality with new add-on modules as well as adding additional users.”

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

The quarter included new customers such as a leading global provider of end-to-end business solutions for the extended retail marketplace focusing on the general and convenience retailing, fast-moving consumer goods and leisure, food & beverage markets, as well as additional licenses to existing customers, for both the Astea Alliance and FieldCentrix solutions, as they expand configurations and deploy additional users.
