Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
1. On June 11, 2001, Astea International Inc. ("Astea" or the "Registrant")
engaged the accounting firm of BDO Seidman, LLP as independent public
accountants for the Registrant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001.
Arthur Andersen LLP ("AA") was dismissed on June 11, 2001 as the
Registrant's auditor, however they will continue, for a limited time, to
work on certain tax matters which are currently in process. The change was
recommended by management and approved by Astea's Audit Committee and its
Board of Directors.
2. In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and
through June 11, 2001 there were no disagreements with AA on any matter of
accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, auditing
scope or procedure, whereby such disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of AA, would have caused them to make reference thereto in
their report on the financial statements for such years, nor were there any
reportable events.
3. The reports of AA on the financial statements of the Registrant for the past
two years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principle.
4. The Registrant has not consulted with BDO Seidman, LLP during the last two
fiscal years or subsequent interim periods on either (i) the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or
proposed) or the type of audit opinion BDO Seidman, LLP might issue on the
Registrant's financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the
subject of a disagreement (as described in Paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of
Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Paragraph
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
5. The Registrant has requested that AA furnish a letter addressed to the SEC
stating whether or not AA agrees with the above statements. A copy of such
letter to the SEC, dated June 18, 2001, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form
8-K/A.
