ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                      INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT


The Board of Directors
SPSS Inc.:

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of SPSS Inc. and subsidiaries
as of June 30, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 and cash flows
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996.  These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of SPSS Inc.'s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above, for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of SPSS Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated February 21, 1996, except as to Note 14 which
is as of March 15, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1996.

Net Revenues.  Net revenues were $15,024,000 and $17,153,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, an increase of 14%.  This
revenue increase was influenced, in part by the acquisition of BMDP Statistical
Software, Inc. ("BMDP"), effective December 29, 1995.  Net of BMDP revenue of
approximately $226,000, the Company's increase in sales was 13%.   Revenues
from products designed for desktop computers ("Desktop products") increased by
18% over the corresponding period in 1995, and there was a 2% increase in
revenues from products designed for mainframes, minicomputers, and UNIX
workstations ("Large System products").  The increase in revenues from Desktop
products reflected a $1,414,000 increase in new revenues from SPSS for Windows.
In addition, revenues from annual license renewals of Desktop products
resulted in a net increase of $894,000, reflecting a $1,006,000 increase in
annual license renewals of SPSS for Windows.  The increase in revenues from
Large System products was primarily due to an increase in revenues from new
UNIX licenses as a result of the BMDP acquisition.  Other products and services
revenues increased by 7% due primarily to an increase of $282,000 in revenues
from training and consulting services.  Revenue for the second quarter of 1996
were adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues consists of costs of goods sold,
amortization of capitalized software development costs, and royalties paid to
third parties.  Cost of revenues was $1,473,000 and $1,700,000 in the three
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  Such costs increased due to
higher sales levels and higher amortization amounts of capitalized software and
product translations.  As a percentage of net revenues, cost of revenues
remained constant at 10%.

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses were $8,412,000 and
$8,690,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, an
increase of 3%.  This increase was due to the expansion of the domestic and
international sales organizations, and salary and commission increases.  As a
percentage of net revenues, such expenses decreased from 56% to 51%.

Product Development.  Product development expenses were $2,130,000 and
$2,822,000 (net of capitalized software development costs of $309,000 and
$176,000) in the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, an
increase of 32%.  In the corresponding periods in 1995 and 1996, the Company's
expense for amortization of capitalized software and product translations,
included in cost of revenues, was $346,000 and $356,000, respectively.  The
increase in product development expenses was primarily due to lower
capitalization of developed software, salary and recruiting fee increases, and
other additions to the product development staff. As a percentage of net
revenues, product development expenses increased from 14% to 16%.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses were
$1,166,000 and $1,285,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively, an increase of 10%.  Such expenses increased primarily due to
increases in bad debt and temporary employment expenses.  As a percentage of
net revenues, general and administrative expenses remained constant at 8%.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income was $15,000 and $103,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  This variance was
primarily due to SPSS' investment of higher cash balances in 1996, the
elimination of interest expense related to the final settlement of the stock
appraisal action in 1995, and adjustment for prior year vendor interest charges
in 1995.

Other Income (Expense).  Other income (expense) consists of foreign currency
transaction gains and losses.  Such foreign currency transactions resulted in a
gain of $75,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and an expense of
$19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.

Provision for Income Taxes.  Provision for income taxes was $663,000 and
$930,000, for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively,
reflecting an approximate effective tax rate of 34%.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

Net Revenues.  Net revenues were $29,786,000 and $34,216,000 in the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, an increase of 15%.  This increase
in revenue was influenced, in part, by the acquisition of BMDP, effective
December 29, 1995.  Net of BMDP revenue of approximately $496,000, the
Company's increase in sales was 13%.  Revenues from Desktop products increased
21% over the corresponding period in 1995 and revenues from Large System
products increased 7%.  The increase in revenues from Desktop products
reflected $2,925,000 in new revenues from SPSS for Windows.  In addition,
revenues from annual license renewals of Desktop products resulted in a net
increase of $1,738,000, reflecting a $2,046,000 increase in annual license
renewals of SPSS for Windows.  The increase in revenues from Large System
products was primarily due to an increase in revenues from new UNIX licenses as
a result of the BMDP acquisition.  Other products and services revenues
decreased 12% primarily due to the decrease in revenues previously received
from publications and student products due to the end of the payment of
guaranteed royalty payments for the Prentice Hall Agreement in July 1995.
Revenues for the first six months of 1996 were adversely affected by changes in
foreign currency exchange rates.

Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues were $2,823,000 and $3,303,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  Such costs increased due to
higher sales levels and higher amortization amounts of capitalized software and
product translations.  As a percentage of net revenues, such expenses remained
constant at 10%.

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses were $16,616,000 and
$17,613,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, an
increase of 6%.  This increase was due to expansion of the domestic and
international sales organizations, and salary and commission increases.  As a
percentage of net revenues, such expenses decreased from 56% to 52%.

Product Development.  Product development expenses were $4,151,000 and
$5,283,000 (net of capitalized software development costs of $942,000 and
$459,000) for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, an
increase of 27%.  In the corresponding periods in 1995 and 1996, the Company's
expense for amortization of capitalized software and product translations,
included in cost of revenues, was $718,000 and $694,000, respectively.  The
increase in product development expenses was primarily due to lower
capitalization of developed software, salary and recruiting fee increases and
other additions to the product development staff.  As a percentage of net
revenues, such expenses increased from 14% to 15%.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $2,215,000
and $2,521,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
Such expenses increased primarily due to increases in bad debt expense and
temporary employment expenses.  As a percentage of net revenues, general and
administrative expenses remained constant at 7%.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income was $11,000 and $225,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  This favorable variance can
be attributed to the elimination of interest expense related to the line of
credit, which was repaid with the net proceeds from the Company's follow-on
public offering of common stock, in February 1995.

Other Income (Expense).  Other income (expense) was $142,000 and $(69,000) for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  These balances
reflect foreign currency gains of $247,000 and a $105,000 charge related to the
final settlement of the stock appraisal action in 1995; and in 1996, foreign
currency losses of $69,000.

Provision for Income Taxes.  Provision for income taxes was $1,418,000 and
$1,929,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively,
reflecting an approximate effective tax rate of 34%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had no long-term debt as of June 30, 1996 and held approximately
$11,511,000 of cash and cash equivalents.  Funds in the first six months of
1996 were used in operations and for payments related to the Company's
acquisition of BMDP.  Capital expenditures were also made for furniture,
computer equipment and leasehold improvements for newly hired employees and
product development.


                                       11

<PAGE>   12


The Company currently has an available $5,000,000 secured line of credit with
Bank of America N.T.S.A. ("B of A"), under which borrowings bear interest at
the reference rate (currently 8.25%).  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had no
borrowings under this line of credit.  The credit agreement with B of A
requires the Company to comply with certain specified financial ratios and
tests, and restricts the Company's ability to, among other things (i) pay
dividends or make distributions, (ii) incur additional indebtedness, (iii)
create liens on assets, (iv) make investments, (v) engage in mergers,
acquisitions or consolidations, (vi) sell assets and (vii) engage in certain
transactions with affiliates.

The Company anticipates that amounts available under its line of credit,
existing sources of liquidity, cash flows generated from operations, and the
net proceeds from the February 1995 public offering of common stock will be
sufficient to fund the Company's operations and capital requirements for the
foreseeable future.  However, no assurance can be given that changing business
circumstances will not require additional capital for reasons that are not
currently anticipated or that the necessary additional capital will then be
available to the Company on favorable terms, or at all.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

Significant growth in the Company's international operations continued during
the second quarter of 1996.  The portion of revenues attributable to
international operations was adversely affected by the relationship of the U.S.
dollar when compared to other foreign currencies.  Net corporate revenues
increased 14% in the three months ended June 30, 1996, when compared to the
three months ended June 30, 1995 and 15% for the six months ended June 30, 1996
when compared to the same period of 1995.  Net of the effects of changes in
foreign currency rates, the increase would have been approximately 20% and 21%,
respectively.
