Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

(a) On August 8, 2005, Aspect Communications Corporation issued a press release of the financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The Margins and Expenses section of the press release includes a discussion of the Company’s historical operating results using operating expenses excluding restructuring charges, a non-GAAP financial measure. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has included a reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial measures in the Company’s press release.

     Management of the Company uses operating expense excluding restructuring charges in monitoring and evaluating the Company’s ongoing financial results and trends excluding these items.

     We believe this information is helpful to investors because the restructuring charges are unusual due to their nature, size and infrequency. Additionally, from a planning and forecasting perspective, management also relies on these measures, and feels that investors should have the benefit of viewing the presentation in the same manner as management does in running our business operations. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
