NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-UNAUDITED

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aspect Communications Corporation (Aspect or the Company) and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation

     At September 30, 2003, the Company had six stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts).
