Software sales decline as contracts slip

By Brenon Daly, CBS MarketWatch
Last Update: 4:48 PM ET Apr 5, 1999

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Aspect
Development lost two-thirds of their value Monday after the company
warned its first quarter results will be "significantly below" analysts'
expectations due to three unsigned contracts.

The company (ASDV) reported in a release that
sales will be $14 million to $15 million, with net
income between breakeven and $1 million. That
includes a $3 million one-time gain.

On an operating basis, CS First Boston said the
company will lose 10 cents per share instead of the
profit of 12 cents per share that analysts expected.
CS First Boston analyst George Gilbert slashed his
rating on Aspect to "hold" from "strong buy."

U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray analyst Tom Berquist
trimmed his rating to "neutral" to "buy."

He noted that sales of Aspect's software, which
allows businesses to keep track of supplies, will
probably decline 60 percent to $4 million. Berquist
had expected license growth of 55 percent, or
$15.8 million.

Aspect said a trio of deals -- representing $12
million in sales this quarter and another $13 million later -- didn't get
signed, Berquist noted. The company didn't indicate when the contracts
would get inked.

Shares of Aspect dropped 14 15/32 to 7 15/16, down from a 52-week
high of 45.
