This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend the Current Report on
Form 8-K/A as filed by the Registrant on July 24, 1998 to reflect the
restatement of the Registrant's condensed consolidated financial statements for
the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1998.  See Item 7. (b) in
this Current Report on Form 8-K/A for a discussion of the basis for such
restatement.

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 $9.9 million for purchased in-
process technology and development expense in the quarter ended 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.

           Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's June 30, 1998 condensed
     consolidated financial statements, the Securities and Exchange Commission
     (the SEC) issued new guidance on its views regarding the valuation
     methodology used in determining purchased in-process technology expensed on
     the date of acquisition. The Company has had discussions with the SEC
     staff concerning the valuation of purchased in-process technology and
     other intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of
     Voicetek Corporation in May 1998 (see "Business Combinations" note). As a
     result of these discussions, the Company has modified its methods used to
     value the purchased in-process technology and other intangible assets.
     The revised valuation is based on management estimates of the after-tax
     net cash flows and gives explicit consideration to the SEC's views on
     purchased in-process technology as set forth in its September 9, 1998
     letter to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. As a
     result of the revised valuation, the amount of purchase price allocated
     to in-process technology decreased from $68.2 million to $9.9 million and
     the amount ascribed to other intangible assets increased from $17.8
     million to $89.8 million, including the impact of deferred taxes of $1.4
     million and $15.2 million respectively. The Registrant's condensed
     consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Reports on
     Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 1998 and September 30,
     1998 have been restated to reflect the revised valuation. The attached


                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
     unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial statements have also
     been similarly restated to reflect the revised valuation amounts.

           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 Telecommunications
     Corporation previously filed and the historical financial statements and
     related notes thereto of Voicetek Corporation included herein.

           The following financial statements are attached hereto and filed
     herewith:

           Audited financial statements of Voicetek Corporation as of December
     31, 1997 and 1996 and for the two years in the period ended December 31,
     1997.

           Unaudited condensed balance sheet of Voicetek Corporation as of March
     31, 1998 and unaudited statements of operations and cash flows for the
     three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.

           Unaudited pro forma condensed combining financial statements of
     Aspect Telecommunications Corporation as of March 31, 1998 and for the
     year and three months ended December 31, 1997 and March 31,
     1998,respectively.

                      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.
     
                                   Continued

                   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:

     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

     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.

                                   Continued

                   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.

     191,327 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of
     $7.84 per share, vesting immediately with a term of seven years. These
     warrants were issued in conjunction with a new debt arrangement (see
     Note 7). The fair market value of these warrants at the date of issuance
     was $295,000.

     STOCK OPTION PLANS
  
     1992 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

     In 1992, the Company amended its previous qualified stock option plan
     and established the 1992 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1992 Plan").
     Options granted under the 1992 Plan vest over a period of four years.
     The options expire ten years from the date of grant.

     1996 STOCK OPTION PLAN

     The Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Option Plan") was
     adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company in August 1996. The
     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

     December 31, 2000, with the full amount due by September 30, 2004. The note
     payable had warrants attached granting the right to purchase 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:

     The Company occupies manufacturing and office space under an operating
     lease which expires in October 2002. The Company must pay insurance,
     maintenance, utilities and a percentage of real estate taxes on the lease.

     capital leases are immaterial.

     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 STATEMENTS

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").

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's June 30, 1998 condensed consolidated
financial statements the SEC issued new guidance on its views regarding the
valuation methodology used in determining purchased in-process technology
expensed on the date of acquisition. The Company has had discussions with the 
SEC staff concerning the valuation of purchased in-process technology and 
other intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of
Voicetek Corporation in May 1998 (see "Business Combinations" note). As
a result of these discussions, the Company has modified its methods used to
value the purchased in-process technology and other intangible assets.

The revised valuation was based on management's estimates of the after tax net
cash flows and gives explicit consideration to the SEC's views on purchased in-
process technology as set forth in its September 9, 1998 letter to the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Specifically, the revised valuation
gave consideration to the following: (i) a fair market value premise was
employed, excluding any Aspect-specific considerations which would result in
estimates of investment value for the subject assets; (ii) comprehensive due
diligence concerning all potential intangible assets including
trademarks/tradenames, patents, copyrights, non-compete agreements, assembled
workforce and customer relationships and sales channel; (iii) the value of core
technology was explicitly addressed, with a view toward ensuring the relative
allocations to core technology and in-process technology were consistent with
the relative contributions of each to the final product; (iv) the allocation to
in-process technology was based on a calculation that considered only the
efforts completed as of the transaction date, and only the cash flow associated
with said completed efforts for one generation of the products currently in-
process; and (v) it was assessed by the Company's independent accountants and
deemed reasonable in light of all the quantitative and qualitative information
available.

Aspect recorded a one-time charge of $9.9 million in the second quarter of
1998 for purchased in-process technology related to two development projects
that had not reached technological feasibility, had no alternative future use,
and for which successful development was uncertain. The conclusion that each
in-process development effort, or any material sub-component, had no
alternative future use was reached in consultation with engineering personnel
from both Aspect and Voicetek.

The first of these projects is an interactive voice response (IVR) product that
represents the next generation of Voicetek's "Generations" platform, ported to a
Windows NT environment.  The primary project tasks open include porting to
Windows NT, compliance to industry standard protocols and various feature
enhancements.  At the time of acquisition, development remained on all tasks and
estimated costs to complete were approximately $1.5 million.  The second
development project is a suite of personal communications services, which will
provide modular, integrated applications for voice activated dialing, single
number service, personal assistant call screening and unified message control.
At the time of acquisition, most of the remaining development effort was focused
on completing one of the applications, voice activated dialing, and additional
coding for final feature development, as well as further testing.  Estimated
costs to complete were approximately $2.2 million.  Management expects that both
products being developed will become available for sale in fiscal 1999; however,
no assurances can be given.  Aspect will begin to benefit from the acquired
research and development related to these products once they begin shipping.
Failure to reach successful completion of these projects could result in
impairment of the associated capitalized intangible assets and could require the
Company to accelerate the time period over which the intangibles are being
amortized, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition or results of operations.

Significant assumptions used to determine the value of in-process technology
included several factors, including the following. First, a forecast of net cash
flows that were expected to result from the development effort, using
projections prepared by Voicetek management, portions of which (1998 and 1999)
were provided to Aspect's Board of Directors. Second, a percentage complete for
each project (40% for the first project and 50% for the second project)
estimated by considering a number of factors, including the costs invested to
date relative to the expected total cost of the development effort and the
amount of progress completed as of the transaction date, on a technological
basis, relative to the overall technological achievements required to achieve
the intended functionality of the eventual product. The technological issues
were addressed by engineering representatives from both Aspect and Voicetek.
Third, discount rates of approximately 28% and 23% respectively, computed under
two discount rate scenarios. The first discount rate was equivalent to the
discount rate that would be employed in a Fair Value analysis, i.e., one that
considers all cash flows associated with the project and resulting product, and
therefore represents a blended rate of all the risks associated with the
product. The second discount rate employed was moderately lower, and was
intended to be reflective of the fact that the "Exclusion Method" only considers
the "completed portion" of the development and the cash flow associated with the
same. The results of each scenario were not materially different, and our final
allocation to in-process research and development was based on an average of the
results of the two scenarios for each project. As of September 30, 1998,
technological feasibility had not been reached with respect to either project
and no significant departures from the assumptions included in the valuation
analysis have occurred.

As a result of the revised valuation, the amount of purchase price allocated
to in-process technology decreased from $68.2 million to $9.9 million and the
amount ascribed to other intangible assets increased from $17.8 million to
$89.8 million, including the impact of deferred taxes of $1.4 million and
$15.2 million respectively. The Registrant's condensed consolidated financial
statements included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
periods ended June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1998 have been restated to
reflect the revised valuation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combining
financial statements have also been similarly restated to reflect the revised
valuation amounts.

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 $9.9 million for purchased in-process technology and
development expense in the quarter ended 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, $9.9 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 $9.9 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 income of Aspect
in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the pro forma condensed
combining financial statements.

(1)  Reflects exercise of warrants and conversion of Voicetek preferred stock to
     Voicetek common stock.

(2)  Reflects cash paid of approximately $72 million and options issued valued
     at approximately $11 million to the stockholders of Voicetek.

(3)  Reflects payments of Voicetek line of credit, equipment term loan, and note
     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 $9.9 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 four to seven years of $13.1 million for
     the year ended December 31, 1997 and $3.3 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.
