ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On May 11, 1998, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
April 1, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") among the Registrant, Venus Acquisition
Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Registrant ("Sub"), and Voicetek Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
("Voicetek"), related Articles of Merger dated May 11, 1998 between Sub and
Voicetek filed with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
and a related Certificate of Merger dated May 11, 1998 filed with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware, Sub was merged with and into Voicetek and
Voicetek, as the surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Registrant ("The Merger").

         Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Registrant paid approximately $72
million in cash for all Voicetek common and preferred shares outstanding,
converted all outstanding Voicetek options into options to purchase
approximately 450,000 shares of Registrant's common stock, and assumed certain
operating assets and liabilities of Voicetek. The Registrant has recorded a
one-time charge against after-tax earnings of $1.34 per share for purchased
in-process technology and development expense in the quarter ending June 30,
1998. The source of the funds paid by the Company under the Merger Agreement was
the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The purchase
price was agreed upon in arms' length negotiation of the terms of the Merger.
The Registrant received an opinion from its financial advisor that the Merger
was fair to the Registrant's shareholders from a financial point of view. The
Merger was treated by the Registrant as a purchase for accounting purposes.

         Voicetek is a leading provider of software platforms and application
solutions, including highly scalable, mission-critical interactive voice
response (IVR) and network-deployed enhanced services solutions.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS.

         (a)      Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

                  Audited financial statements of Voicetek Corporation as of
         December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the two years ended December 31,
         1997 as well as unaudited condensed financial statements as of March
         31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are
         attached hereto and filed herewith.

         (b)      Pro Forma Financial Information.

                  The attached unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial
         statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 and as of and for the
         three months ended March 31, 1998 give effect to the purchase of
         Voicetek as of the beginning of the periods presented, whereby Aspect
         Telecommunications ("Aspect") paid approximately $72 million in cash
         for all Voicetek common and preferred shares outstanding, converted all
         outstanding Voicetek options into options to purchase approximately
         450,000 shares of Registrant's common stock, and assumed certain
         operating assets and liabilities of Voicetek. Accordingly, the acquired
         assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair market
         value at the date of acquisition. The pro forma condensed combining
         statements of operations assume that the acquisition took place at the
         beginning of the earliest period presented and combine Aspect's and
         Voicetek's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997
         and the three months ended March 31, 1998. The unaudited pro forma
         condensed combining balance sheet combines Aspect's balance sheet as of
         March 31, 1998 with the Voicetek balance sheet as of March 31, 1998,
         giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31,
         1998.

                  The pro forma condensed combining financial information is
         presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily
         indicative of the operating results or financial position that would
         have occurred had the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of
         the periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future
         operating results or financial position.

                  The pro forma condensed combining financial information should
         be read in conjunction with the audited historical consolidated
         financial statements and the related notes thereto of Aspect

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Voicetek Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Voicetek Corporation as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Voicetek Corporation as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the
financial statements, the Company has limited available financing to fund
operations, and has preferred stock which becomes redeemable in July 1998, which
raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 11. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS:

        Voicetek Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, (the "Company") was
        incorporated in 1981 and operates in one business segment. The Company
        develops, markets and supports interactive communications systems. The
        Company's principal market and its operations are located in the United
        States.



2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

        RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
        assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
        and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
        financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
        during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
        estimates.

        Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
        concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables.
        Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables include
        receivables from significant customers. The Company's customers are
        concentrated in one industry segment, the telecommunications industry,
        and, historically, a significant portion of the Company's revenues have
        been to a limited number of customers within this industry. The Company
        does not require collateral or other security to support customer
        receivables. The Company maintains reserves for credit losses and such
        losses have been within management's expectations. The Company's
        allowances amounted to $591,000 and $70,000 at December 31, 1997 and
        1996, respectively. The provision charged to the Statement of Operations
        was $521,000 and $39,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, and write-offs
        against the allowances were $0 and $14,000 in 1997 and 1996,
        respectively.

        CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

        The Company's policy is to include amounts as cash and cash equivalents
        that are short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with a
        remaining maturity of three months or less.

        INVENTORIES

        Inventories, consisting primarily of purchased components, including
        materials, labor and overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or
        market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

        PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

        Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
        using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful
        lives:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

<S>                                 <C>     
        Equipment                   3 to 7 years
        Furniture and fixtures      3 to 5 years
        Leasehold improvements      The shorter of the lease term or the life of
                                    the asset
</TABLE>

        Expenditures for major improvements which substantially increase the
        useful lives of assets are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are
        expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the related cost
        and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain
        or loss is included in results of operations.

        RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

        Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility
        are charged to research and development expense. Based on the Company's
        product development process, technological feasibility is established
        upon completion of a working model. Software development costs incurred
        subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility and for
        significant product enhancements are capitalized until the product is
        available for general release to customers, and amortized to cost of
        revenues. Amortization of capitalized software costs is recognized on
        the greater of the straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives
        of the related products, and the ratio of current gross revenues to
        total current and expected future gross revenues of the related
        products. The Company did not capitalize any software development costs
        during 1997 and 1996 because the amounts eligible for capitalization
        were immaterial.

        REVENUE RECOGNITION

        The Company recognizes product and license revenues upon execution of a
        contract and shipment to customers provided that no significant vendor
        obligations remain outstanding and collection of the resulting
        receivable is deemed probable by management. If insignificant vendor
        obligations remain after shipment of the product, the Company accrues
        for the estimated costs of such obligations. Additionally, the Company
        accrues for warranty costs upon shipment. Revenue from post-customer
        support (maintenance) contracts is recognized ratably over the life of
        the contract, generally one year. Revenue from training and consulting
        is recognized as the services are provided. For certain contracts
        eligible under AICPA Statement of Position No. 81-1, revenue is
        recognized using the percentage-of-completion accounting method based
        upon an efforts-expended method. In all cases, changes to total
        estimated costs and anticipated losses, if any, are recognized in the
        period in which determined. The percentage-of-completion method requires
        estimates of costs to complete which may differ from actual costs.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

        UNBILLED ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

        Unbilled accounts receivable represents revenue recognized for contracts
        accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method which had not
        been billed at the balance sheet date. All amounts are expected to be
        collected within one year. There are no amounts included in accounts
        receivable or unbilled accounts receivable which represent retainages.

        INCOME TAXES

        The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method whereby
        recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on expected
        future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
        financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
        liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between
        the financial statement basis of assets and liabilities using enacted
        tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
        to reverse. The Company provides for a valuation allowance against net
        deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more
        likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
        realized.

        1996 Option Plan provides for the grant of stock options to key
        employees (including officers who may be members of the Company's Board
        of Directors), directors who are not employees and consultants to
        Company. Under the 1996 Option Plan, the Company could grant options
        intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of
        Section 422A of the Code, and options not intended to qualify as
        incentive stock options. Options granted under the 1996 Stock Option
        Plan vest over a period of four years. The options expire ten years from
        date of grant. A total of 333,333 shares of Common Stock were originally
        authorized for issuance under the 1996 Option Plan. Effective January 1,
        1997 and each January 1 thereafter through January 1, 2006, the number
        of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 1996 Option
        Plan shall be increased cumulatively such that the number of shares of
        Common Stock subject to the 1996 Option Plan shall equal 15% of the
        total number of fully diluted shares of Common Stock (excluding shares
        of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase Common
        Stock granted under the Company's 1996 Director Option Plan, as defined
        below) as of the close of business on December 31 of the preceding year.

        1996 DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN

        The Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors and
        Clerk (the "1996 Director Option Plan") was adopted by the Board of
        Directors of the Company in August 1996. The 1996 Director Option Plan
        provides for the grant of stock options to the Clerk and Directors who
        are not employees of the Company. Under the 1996 Director Option Plan,
        the Company

        could grant options not intended to qualify as incentive stock options
        within the meaning of Section 422A of the Code. Options granted under
        the 1996 Director Option Plan vest over a period of four years. The
        options expire ten years from the date of grant. A total of 60,000
        shares of Common Stock were originally authorized for issuance under the
        1996 Director Option Plan.

        In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting for
        Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), which is effective for periods
        beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 requires that companies
        either recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options
        and other equity instruments based on fair value, or provide pro forma
        disclosures of net income in the notes to the financial statements. The
        Company has adopted the pro forma disclosure provision of SFAS No. 123
        effective in 1996 and has applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25
        "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations
        in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, compensation cost of stock
        options granted to employees and directors is measured as the excess, if
        any, of the fair value of the Company's stock at the date of grant over
        the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. Had compensation cost
        for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined based
        on the fair value at the grant dates for the awards under these plans
        consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the
        Company's net income (loss) would have been reduced to the pro forma
        amount indicated below:

</TABLE>


        The fair value of each option granted during 1997 and 1996 is estimated
        on the date of grant using the minimum value method utilizing the
        following weighted-average assumptions: (1) weighted average risk-free
        interest rates of 6.6% and 6.8% in 1997 and 1996, respectively, (2)
        expected option life of 8 years and 10 years in 1997 and 1996,
        respectively and (3) expected dividend yield of 0 for both years.

        The effects of applying SFAS 123 for the purposes of pro forma
        disclosures may not be indicative of the effects on reported net income
        (loss) for future years, as the pro forma disclosures include the
        effects of only those awards granted after January 1, 1995.

        As of December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $11,600,000 of
        net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes which
        expire in the years 2004 through 2009. The Company had approximately
        $3,700,000 of state net operating losses which expire in the years 1997
        through 2012. The Company had research and development credits for
        federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $848,000 and
        $637,000, which begin to expire at various dates through 2012. The
        federal and state net operating losses and credits are subject to
        certain limitations under IRC Section 382 which may affect the Company's
        ability to utilize them prior to expiration.

        Management of the Company has evaluated the positive and negative
        evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets.
        Under the applicable accounting standards, management has considered the
        Company's history of losses and concluded that it is more likely than
        not that the Company will not generate future taxable income prior to
        the expiration of these net operating losses. Accordingly, the deferred
        tax assets have been fully reserved. Management reevaluates the positive
        and negative evidence periodically.

        Interest expense on notes payable and long-term debt was $546,000 and
        $229,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively.

        In November 1997, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement
        with a bank to increase its revolving line-of-credit from $5,000,000 to
        $6,000,000, expiring on November 30, 1998. Outstanding balances under
        the agreement bear interest at the prime rate plus 0.75% (9.25% and 9.0%
        at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively). The line of credit is
        collateralized by certain receivables of the Company.

        Amounts borrowed under the term loan agreement are payable in monthly
        installments over a three-year period at an interest rate of the prime
        rate plus 1.00% (9.50% and 9.25% at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
        respectively). The term loan is collateralized by certain equipment of
        the Company.

        In September 1997, the Company issued a note to a third party for an
        amount of $3,000,000. The note bears interest at a rate of 10% and is

        191,327 shares of common stock of the Company at a purchase price of
        $7.84 per share before September 30, 2004. The fair market value of the
        warrants at the date of issuance was $295,000, which has been recorded
        as a discount on the note payable and will be amortized over the term of
        the note.

        The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its debt
        agreements including specified debt to worth ratios and maintenance of a
        specified capital base and profitability, as defined. At December 31,
        1997, the Company was in violation of these covenants on all three
        loans. The parties involved subsequently waived these covenants.

  8.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     length of service and minimum age. The Company can elect to make

 11. GOING CONCERN MATTERS:

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
     basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
     liabilities in the normal course of business.

     The Company incurred a net loss in 1997 and used cash to fund operations,
     and the Company's redeemable convertible preferred stock becomes redeemable
     at a value of $12,502,000 from August 1, 1998 (see Note 5). These factors
     indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for
     a reasonable period of time.

     The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
     recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be
     necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The
     Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
     generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis,
     to comply with the terms of its financing agreements, to obtain additional
     financing or refinancing as may be required,

                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
     interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 8-K and
     Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
     information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles
     for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
     adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
     for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
     three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of
     the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. For
     further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
     notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report.

2.   INCOME TAXES:

     Management of the Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence
     bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets. Under the
     applicable accounting standards, management has considered the Company's
     history of losses and concluded that it is more likely than not that the
     Company will not generate future taxable income prior to the expiration of
     these net operating losses. Accordingly, the deferred tax assets have been
     fully reserved in the amount of $4,618,000.

3.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

     In May 1998, the Company was acquired by Aspect Telecommunications
     Corporation (Aspect) for cash of $72 million and Aspect options to the
     stockholders of the Company valued at approximately $11 million. The
     transaction was accounted for as a purchase.

           NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMEMTS

1.   ACQUISITION

     VOICETEK CORPORATION - On May 11, 1998, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
     of Merger dated April 1, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") among the
     Registrant, Venus Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and
     wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("Sub"), and Voicetek
     Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation ("Voicetek"), related Articles of
     Merger dated May 11, 1998 between Sub and Voicetek filed with the Secretary
     of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and a related Certificate of
     Merger dated May 11, 1998 filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
     Delaware, Sub was merged with and into Voicetek and Voicetek, as the
     surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant
     ("The Merger").

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Registrant paid approximately $72
     million in cash for all Voicetek common and preferred shares outstanding,
     converted all outstanding Voicetek options into options to purchase
     approximately 450,000 shares of Registrant's common stock, and assumed
     certain operating assets and liabilities of Voicetek. The Registrant has
     recorded a one-time charge against after-tax earnings of $1.34 per share
     for purchased in-process technology and development expense in the quarter
     ending June 30, 1998. The source of the funds paid by the Company under the
     Merger Agreement was the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term
     investments. The purchase price was agreed upon in arms' length negotiation
     of the terms of the Merger. The Registrant received an opinion from its
     financial advisor that the Merger was fair to the Registrant's shareholders
     from a financial point of view. The Merger was treated by the Registrant as
     a purchase for accounting purposes.

     Voicetek is a leading provider of software platforms and application
     solutions, including highly scalable, mission-critical interactive voice
     response (IVR) and network-deployed enhanced services solutions.

2.   PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     The accompanying pro forma financial statements are presented in accordance
     with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combining balance sheet has been prepared
     as if the acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase, was completed
     as of March 31, 1998. The aggregate purchase price, and approximately $3
     million of costs directly attributable to the completion of the acquisition
     have been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired. The allocation
     of the purchase price among the identifiable intangible assets was based on
     estimates of the fair market value of those assets. As a result, $68
     million was allocated to purchased in-process research and development,
     which has not yet reached technological feasibility and does not have
     alternative future uses. This amount was charged to the company's
     operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
     the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

     To prepare the pro forma unaudited condensed combining statements of
     operations, the Aspect Telecommunications ("Aspect") statement of income
     for the year ended December 31, 1997 has been combined with the statement
     of operations of Voicetek for the year ended December 31, 1997. Also, the
     Aspect statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 has
     been combined with the statement of operations of Voicetek for the three
     months ended March 31, 1998. This method of combining the companies is only
     for the presentation of pro forma unaudited condensed combining financial
     statements. Actual statements of operations of the companies will be
     combined from the effective date of the acquisition, with no retroactive
     restatement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the historical financial statements of Aspect and Voicetek.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combining statements of operations do not
include the one-time $68 million charge for purchased in-process technology
arising from this acquisition, as it is a material nonrecurring charge. This
charge will be included in the actual consolidated statement of operations of
Aspect in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

combining financial statements.

     at approximately $11 million to the stockholders of Voicetek.

     payable.

(4)  Reflects adjustments to conform to Aspect's accounting policies for revenue
     recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and
     certain accrued liabilities.

(5)  Reflects the allocation of purchase price to the intangible assets
     identified in the purchase price allocation and the related deferred tax.

(6)  Reflects the payment and accrual of estimated costs directly attributable
     to the completion of the acquisition of approximately $3 million.
     
(7)  Reflects the elimination of Voicetek's shareholders' equity.

(8)  Reflects the reversal of valuation reserve related to deferred tax assets
     of $5.5 million arising from the estimated future benefit of Voicetek's net
     operating loss carryforwards.
 
(9)  Includes the one-time charge of $68 million for purchased in-process
     technology identified in the purchase price allocation.

(10) Reflects pro forma amortization of the purchased intangibles over the
     estimated useful life ranging from three to seven years of $3 million for
     the year ended December 31, 1997 and $0.7 million for the three months
     ended March 31, 1998.

(11) Reflects interest that would not have been earned, offset by interest
     expense that would not have been incurred.

(12) Reflects the tax effect of pro forma adjustments at the statutory rate and
     the additional tax benefit of Voicetek net operating losses.

(13) Reflects the tax effect of pro forma adjustments at the statutory rate, the
     additional tax benefit of Voicetek net operating losses, and the reversal
     of Voicetek tax provision.

(14) Reflects the reversal of Voicetek's accretion of redeemable convertible
     preferred stock to redemption value.
