Vitria sees wider Q2 loss than Wall Street expects

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 9 (Reuters) - Vitria Technology, Inc. (NasdaqNM:VITR - news) said Monday it expects to report a
bigger second-quarter loss than Wall Street estimates because of the downturn in the computer software industry.

Vitria expects a pro forma net loss for the quarter in the range of 11 cents to 12 cents per share, excluding non-cash charges relating to stock compensation and the
acquisition of XMLSolutions.

The consensus average of Wall Street analysts polled by Thomson Financial/First Call is for a second-quarter loss of 9 cents per share.

Vitria said it expects revenues for the second quarter to be in the range of $34 to $35 million and unrestricted cash and short-term investments balance at the end of
the quarter to be approximately $190 million.

``Like many software companies, we experienced market conditions in North America and Europe that proved to be more challenging than we had anticipated
based on our experience in the first quarter,`` said JoMei Chang, president and chief executive officer. ``While disappointed with these results, I am excited about our
long-term market opportunity.``

bad stocks usually goes down because now you have to face the real numbers.Institutions and smart private investors prefer to stay out of the stock to avoid the down draft after the earning announcement. That is to avoid risk.
