PROSPECTUS

183,833 Shares

SPSS INC.

Common Stock
($.01 Par Value)

         This  Prospectus  relates to the offer and sale of up to 183,833 shares
of the common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Shares" or "Common Stock"),  of
SPSS Inc.  (the  "Company").  The Common  Shares  may be  offered by  particular
stockholders  of the Company (the "Selling  Stockholders")  from time to time in
transactions on the Nasdaq National  Market,  in negotiated  transactions,  or a
combination  of such methods of sale,  at fixed  prices that may be changed,  at
market  prices  prevailing  at the  time of  sale,  at  prices  related  to such
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.  The Selling  Stockholders may
effect  such  transactions  by the  sale  of the  Common  Shares  to or  through
broker-dealers,  and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts,  concessions or commissions from the Selling  Stockholders and/or the
purchasers of the Common Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or
to whom they may sell as principal,  or both (which compensation to a particular
broker-dealer  might  be  in  excess  of  customary  commissions).  The  Selling
Stockholders  and any  broker-dealer  who  acts in  connection  with the sale of
Common  Shares  hereunder  may be  deemed to be  "underwriters"  as that term is
defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act"),  and
any commission received by them and profit on any resale of the Common Shares as
principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act. See "Selling  Stockholders"  elsewhere in this  Prospectus.  The
Company will not receive any of the proceeds  from the sale of the Common Shares
by the Selling Stockholders.

         The Company's  Common Stock is traded and quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol  "SPSS." On January 29, 1997, the last sale price of the
Common Stock, as reported on the Nasdaq National Market, was $31.00 per share.

         The Company will bear all expenses (other than  underwriting  discounts
and selling  commissions,  and fees and expenses of counsel or other advisors to
the Selling  Stockholders)  in connection with the registration of the shares of
Common  Stock  being  offered  hereby,   which  expenses  are  estimated  to  be
approximately $81,966.
See "Selling Stockholders" elsewhere in this Prospectus.

CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK.

UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE  REQUIRES,  REFERENCES IN THIS PROSPECTUS TO "SPSS"
AND THE  "COMPANY"  SHALL MEAN SPSS INC. A DELAWARE  CORPORATION,  ITS  ILLINOIS

STOCK" SHALL MEAN SPSS INC.'S COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $ .01 PER SHARE.

                                   THE COMPANY

GENERAL

         SPSS Inc. ("the  Company") was  incorporated  in Illinois in 1975 under
the name "SPSS,  Inc." and was  reincorporated in Delaware in May 1993 under the
name "SPSS Inc." The Company  develops,  markets and supports an integrated line
of  statistical  software  products  that  enable  users  to  effectively  bring
marketplace and enterprise data to bear on decision-making. The primary users of
the  Company's  software are managers and data  analysts in corporate  settings,
government agencies and academic institutions. In addition to its widespread use
in survey analysis,  SPSS software also performs other types of market research,
as well as quality improvement analyses, scientific and engineering applications
and data reporting.  The current generation of SPSS Desktop products (as defined
herein)  features a  windows-based  point-and-click  graphical  user  interface,
sophisticated  statistical procedures,  data access and management capabilities,
report writing and integrated graphics. The Company's products provide extensive
analytical  capabilities not found in spreadsheets,  database management systems
or graphics packages.

         In its 21 years of operation,  SPSS has become a widely recognized name
in statistical  software.  The Company plans to leverage its current position to
take advantage of the increased demand for software  applications  that not only
provide ready access to the data that organizations  collect and store, but also
enable users to systematically  analyze,  interpret and present such information
for  use  in  decision-making.  Management  believes  that  ease-of-use  of  the
Company's  current  generation  products,  combined with the greater  processing
speed and storage capacity of the latest desktop  computers,  has  substantially
expanded the market for SPSS statistical software.

     In summer 1993,  the Company  completed  an initial  public  offering  (the
"IPO") of common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"). The Common Stock is
listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "SPSS". In early 1995, the
Company and certain selling  stockholders  sold 1,865,203 shares of Common Stock
in a public offering.

         The  Company  is  a  Delaware  corporation.   The  Company's  principal
executive  offices  are located at 444 N.  Michigan  Avenue,  Chicago,  Illinois
60611,  and its  telephone  number at its principal  executive  offices is (312)
329-2400.

                                  RISK FACTORS


      In addition to the other  information  in this  Prospectus,  the following
risk  factors  should  be  considered   carefully  by  potential  purchasers  in
evaluating an investment in the Common Stock offered hereby.

      Fluctuations  in Quarterly  Operating  Results.  The  Company's  quarterly
operating  results  can  be  subject  to  fluctuation  due to  several  factors,
including   the  number  and  timing  of  product   updates   and  new   product
introductions,  delays  in  product  development  and  introduction,  purchasing
schedules of its customers,  changes in foreign currency exchange rates, product
and market development expenditures, the timing of product shipments, changes in
product mix, timing and cost of acquisitions  and general  economic  conditions.
Because  the  Company's  expense  levels  are to a  large  extent  based  on its
forecasts of future  revenues,  operating  results may be adversely  affected if
such revenues fall below  expectations.  Accordingly,  the Company believes that
quarter-to-quarter   comparisons  of  its  results  of  operations  may  not  be
meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
The Company has  historically  operated  with very  little  backlog  because its
products are generally shipped as orders are received. As a result,  revenues in
any  quarter  are  dependent  on orders  shipped  and  licenses  renewed in that
quarter. The Company has experienced a seasonal pattern in its operating results
with the fourth  quarter  typically  having the highest  operating  income.  For
example,  excluding acquisition and other non-recurring  charges, the percentage
of the  Company's  operating  income  realized in the fourth  quarter was 40% in
1993,  41% in 1994 and 41% in 1995.  In  addition,  the timing and amount of the
Company's  revenues are subject to a number of factors that make  estimation  of
operating results prior to the end of a quarter uncertain. A significant portion
of  the  Company's   operating   expenses  are  relatively  fixed,  and  planned
expenditures are based primarily on revenue forecasts. More specifically, in the
fourth quarter,  the variable profit margins on modest increases in sales volume
at the end of the quarter are  significant.  Should the Company  fail to achieve
such fourth quarter revenue increases, net income for the fourth quarter and the
full year could be materially affected.  Generally,  if revenues do not meet the
Company's expectations in any given quarter, operating results will be adversely
affected. Although the Company had been profitable in each of the seven quarters
up to and including the quarter ending June 30, 1994, the Company  experienced a
net loss of $137,000 in the third quarter of 1994 due to a one-time write-off of
$1,928,000 for acquired and in-process technology and other  acquisition-related
charges  recorded in connection with the Company's  acquisition of SYSTAT,  Inc.
("SYSTAT").  The  Company  has been  profitable  in the  eight  quarters  ending
December 31, 1994 through September 30, 1996. However, there can be no assurance
that  profitability  on a quarterly or annual basis can be achieved or sustained
in the future.

      Dependence  on a Single  Product  Category;  Declining  Sales  of  Certain
Products.  The Company derives  substantially  all of its product  revenues from
licenses of  statistical  software.  Accordingly,  any decline in revenues  from
licenses of the  Company's  statistical  software,  or  reduction  in demand for
statistical  software  generally,  could have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company.

      In recent years SPSS has experienced a significant shift in the sources of
its revenues.  Historically, the Company derived a large portion of its revenues
from licenses of its mainframe and minicomputer ("Large Systems") products. As a
result of the  general  shift by  computer  users from Large  Systems to desktop
computers, the Company has experienced an ongoing decline in revenues from Large
Systems products in the last several years,  although this decline has generally
lessened in recent quarters.  Revenues from Large Systems licenses declined from
approximately  $15.6  million in 1991 to $10.7  million in 1995,  while sales of
desktop products  increased from $21.8 million in 1991 to $56.9 million in 1995,
although  revenues from Large Systems  licenses only declined from $10.8 million
to $10.7  million  from  1994 to 1995.  Management  is  unable  to  predict  the
continuing rate of decline on Large Systems licenses,  if any. Revenues from the
Company's  products for desktop computers  ("Desktop  products") now account for
nearly three-quarters of the Company's revenues and this percentage may continue
to increase.

      Rapid   Technological   Change.   The   computer   software   industry  is
characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements,
frequent  product  enhancements  and new product  introductions.  The  Company's
future success will depend upon its ability to enhance its existing products and
introduce new products that keep pace with technological  developments,  respond
to evolving customer requirements and achieve market acceptance.  In particular,
the Company  believes it must  continue to respond  quickly to users'  needs for
greater  functionality,  improved  usability  and support for new  hardware  and
operating  systems.  Any  failure  by  the  Company  to  respond  adequately  to
technological developments and customer requirements,  or any significant delays
in product development or introduction, could result in loss of revenues. In the
past, the Company has, on occasion,  experienced  delays in the  introduction of
new  products  and product  enhancements,  primarily  due to  difficulties  with
particular  operating  environments and problems with software provided by third
parties. The extent of these delays has varied depending upon the size and scope
of the project and the nature of the problems encountered. Such delays have most
often  resulted from "bugs"  encountered  in working with new and/or  beta-stage
versions  of  operating  systems and other  third  party  software,  and bugs or
unexpected  difficulties  in existing  third  party  software  which  complicate
integration  with the  Company's  software.  From time to time,  the Company has
discovered bugs in its products which are resolved through maintenance  releases
or through periodic updates depending upon the seriousness of the defect.  There
can be no  assurance  that the Company  will be  successful  in  developing  and
marketing  new  products or product  enhancements  on a timely basis or that the
Company will not experience significant delays or defects in its products in the
future,  which could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition,
there can be no assurance that new products or product enhancements developed by
the Company will achieve market  acceptance or that  developments by others will
not render the Company's products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.

     International Operations. The Company's revenues from operations outside of
North America accounted for approximately  40%, 45% and 50% of the Company's net
revenues in 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively. The Company expects that revenues
from  international  operations will continue to represent a large percentage of
its net revenues and that this  percentage  may  increase,  particularly  as the
Company  further  "localizes"  the SPSS product line by translating its products
into  additional  languages.  International  revenues are subject to a number of
risks, including greater difficulties in accounts receivable collection,  longer
payment  cycles,  exposure  to currency  fluctuations,  political  and  economic
instability and the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and
regulatory requirements. The Company also believes that it is exposed to greater
levels of  software  piracy  in  international  markets  because  of the  weaker
protection afforded to intellectual property in some foreign  jurisdictions.  As
the Company  expands its  international  operations,  the risks  described above
could increase and, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

      Potential Volatility of Stock Price. There has been significant volatility
in the  market  prices  of  securities  of  technology  companies  and  in  some
instances,  such  volatility has been unrelated to the operating  performance of
such companies. Market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of the Common
Stock.  The Company also believes  factors such as announcements of new products
by the Company or its competitors,  quarterly  variations in financial  results,
recommendations  and reports of analysts and other factors  beyond the Company's
control  could  cause  the  market  price  of  the  Common  Stock  to  fluctuate
substantially.

      Reliance on Relationships with Third Parties. The Company licenses certain
software from third parties.  Some of this licensed  software is embedded in the
Company's products, and some is offered as add-on products. If such licenses are
discontinued, or become invalid or unenforceable, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to develop substitutes for this software  independently
or to obtain alternative  sources in a timely manner. Any delays in obtaining or
developing  substitutes  for  licensed  software  could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company.

     In  February  1993,  the  Company  entered  into  an  exclusive,  worldwide
agreement (the "Prentice Hall  Agreement")  with Prentice Hall, Inc.  ("Prentice
Hall") under which Prentice Hall publishes and  distributes  the student version
of the Company's  software and all of the Company's  publications.  As a result,
the Company is

                                     - 14 -

dependent on Prentice  Hall for the  development  and support of the markets for
student software and its  publications.  The failure of Prentice Hall to perform
its  obligations  under the  Prentice  Hall  Agreement  adequately  could have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

     In  February  1993,  the  Company  entered  into  a  Software  Distribution
Agreement  (the  "IBM  Software  Distribution   Agreement")  with  International
Business  Machines  Corporation  ("IBM")  under  which  IBM is  responsible  for
manufacturing and packaging the Company's  products and distributing them to the
Company's  domestic and European  customers.  If IBM fails to adequately perform
its  obligations  under this agreement,  or if the agreement is terminated,  the
Company's operating results could be materially adversely effected.

      Changes in Public  Expenditures  and Overall  Economic  Activity Levels. A
significant  portion  of the  Company's  revenues  comes  from  licenses  of its
products  directly to foreign and  domestic  government  entities.  In addition,
significant  amounts of the  Company's  revenues  come from licenses to academic
institutions,  healthcare  organizations  and private  businesses which contract
with or are funded by government entities.  Government  appropriations processes
are often  slow,  unpredictable  and subject to factors  outside  the  Company's
control. In addition, proposals are currently being made in certain countries to
reduce   government   spending.   Reductions  in  government   expenditures  and
termination or  renegotiation of  government-funded  programs or contracts could
have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition,  declines in overall
levels of economic  activity  could also have a material  adverse  impact on the
Company.

      Competition.  The  market  for the  statistical  software  is both  highly
competitive  and  fragmented.  The Company  primarily  competes with one general
statistical software provider which is larger and has greater resources than the
Company,  as  well  as  with  numerous  other  companies  offering   statistical
applications  software,  many  of  which  offer  products  focused  on  specific
statistical applications. The Company considers its primary worldwide competitor
to be the larger and better-financed SAS Institute ("SAS"), although the Company
believes that SAS's revenues are derived principally from products that are used
for  purposes  other than  statistics  and operate on large  systems  platforms.
StatSoft Inc., developers of the Statistica product ("Statistica"),  Manugistics
Group, Inc., distributors of the Statgraphics Plus product ("Statgraphics"), and
Minitab,  Inc. ("Minitab") are also competitors,  although their annual revenues
from these  statistical  products are believed to be considerably  less than the
revenues of SPSS.

      In the  future,  SPSS may face  competition  from  new  entrants  into the
statistical software market. The Company could also experience  competition from
companies in other sectors of the broader market for data  management,  analysis
and  presentation  software,   such  as  providers  of  spreadsheets,   database
management  systems,  report writers and executive  information  systems.  These
companies  have  added,  or  in  the  future  may  add,   statistical   analysis
capabilities to their products.  Many of these companies have  significant  name
recognition,  as well as  substantially  greater  capital  resources,  marketing
experience and research and development capabilities than the Company. There can
be no  assurance  that the Company  will have  sufficient  resources to make the
necessary  investment in research and  development  and sales and marketing,  or
that the  Company  will  otherwise  be able to make the  technological  advances
necessary to maintain or enhance its competitive position.  The Company's future
success will also depend  significantly upon its ability to continue to sell its
Desktop  products,  to attract new customers  looking for more  sophisticated or
powerful  software  and to  introduce  additional  add-on  products  to existing
customers.  There can be no  assurance  that the Company will be able to compete
successfully in the future.

      Dependence  on Key  Personnel.  The Company is dependent on the efforts of
certain  executives  and  key  employees,  including  its  President  and  Chief
Executive Officer,  Jack Noonan. The Company's  continued success will depend in
part  on  its  ability  to  attract  and  retain  highly  qualified   technical,
managerial, sales, marketing and other personnel. Competition for such personnel
is intense.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue
to attract or retain such highly qualified personnel. No life insurance policies
are maintained on the Company's key personnel.

      Intellectual  Property;  Proprietary  Rights.  The statistical  algorithms
incorporated in the Company's software are not proprietary. The Company believes
that the proprietary technology constituting a portion of the Company's software
determines the speed and quality of displaying the results of computations,  the
connectivity of the Company's products with third party software and the ease of
use of its products.  The Company's success will depend, in part, on its ability
to protect the  proprietary  aspects of its  products.  The Company  attempts to
protect  its   proprietary   software   with  trade  secret  laws  and  internal
nondisclosure   safeguards,   as  well  as  copyright  and  trademark  laws  and
contractual  restrictions on copying,  disclosure and  transferability  that are
incorporated  into its software  license  agreements.  The Company  licenses its
software only in the form of executable code, with  contractual  restrictions on
copying, disclosures and transferability. Except for licenses of its products to
users of Large System products and annual licenses of its Desktop products,  the
Company  licenses its products to  end-users by use of a  "shrink-wrap"  license
that  is not  signed  by  licensees,  as is  customary  in the  industry.  It is
uncertain whether such license  agreements are legally  enforceable.  The source
code for all of the  Company's  products is  protected  as a trade secret and as
unpublished  copyrighted  work.  In  addition,  the  Company  has  entered  into
confidentiality  and  nondisclosure  agreements with its key employees.  Despite
these restrictions,  it may be possible for competitors or users to copy aspects
of the Company's  products or to obtain information which the Company regards as
a trade  secret.  The  Company  has no  patents,  and  judicial  enforcement  of
copyright  laws  may  be  uncertain,  particularly  outside  of  North  America.
Preventing  unauthorized  use of computer  software is  difficult,  and software
piracy  is  expected  to be a  persistent  problem  for  the  packaged  software
industry.  These problems may be particularly acute in international markets. In
addition,  the laws of certain countries in which the Company's  products are or
may be licensed do not protect the Company's products and intellectual  property
rights  to the  same  extent  as the  laws of the  United  States.  Despite  the
precautions  taken by the  Company,  it may be possible for  unauthorized  third
parties to reverse  engineer  or copy the  Company's  products or obtain and use
information  that the Company regards as proprietary.  There can be no assurance
that the steps taken by the Company to protect  its  proprietary  rights will be
adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology.

      Although  the  Company's  products  have  never  been  the  subject  of an
infringement claim, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert
infringement claims against the Company in the future or that any such assertion
will not result in costly  litigation or require the Company to obtain a license
to use the  intellectual  property of third  parties.  There can be no assurance
that such licenses will be available on reasonable  terms,  or at all. There can
also be no  assurance  that the  Company's  competitors  will not  independently
develop  technologies  that are  substantially  equivalent  or  superior  to the
Company's technologies.

      Control by Existing Stockholders; Antitakeover Effects. As of December 31,
1996,  the  Company's   executive  officers  and  directors  owned  beneficially
approximately 22.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Norman H. Nie
Revocable Trust Dated March 15, 1991 (the "Nie Trust") and affiliates of the Nie
Trust, are entitled to nominate a director for inclusion in the management slate
for election to the Board so long as the Nie Trust continues to own no less than
12.5% of the  outstanding  shares of Common Stock.  As of December 31, 1996, the
Nie Trust and affiliates of the Nie Trust beneficially owned approximately 15.9%
of the  outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock.  The  Company's  Certificate  of
Incorporation  and Bylaws contain a number of provisions,  including  provisions
requiring  an 80% super  majority  stockholder  approval of certain  actions and
provisions for a classified Board of Directors, which would make the acquisition
of the Company,  by means of an  unsolicited  tender  offer,  a proxy contest or
otherwise, more difficult or impossible.

      Shares  Eligible  for Future Sale.  As of December  31,  1996,  there were
vested  options  outstanding  held by  management to purchase  approximately  an
additional  536,573 shares of SPSS Common Stock and unvested options to purchase
approximately an additional 140,370 shares of SPSS Common Stock, with an average
exercise  price of $5.81 per share.  The  Company has also  established  a stock
purchase plan available to employees of the Company,  which permits employees to
acquire  shares of SPSS  Common  Stock at the end of each  quarter at 85% of the
market price of SPSS Common Stock as of such date.


                                     - 16 -

<PAGE>



     In  addition  to the  Company's  currently  outstanding  shares  and  those
issuable to employees as described above,  the Company has issued  approximately
339,000  shares of SPSS Common  Stock to Jandel's  shareholders.  Such shares of
SPSS Common Stock will generally be available for resale.

      No prediction can be made as to the effect,  if any, that future sales, or
the  availability  of shares of Common Stock for future sales,  will have on the
market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial  amounts of SPSS
Common  Stock by the Company or by  shareholders,  or the  perception  that such
sales may occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for SPSS Common
Stock.

     Accumulated  Deficit. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,235,000
as of September 30, 1996.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               SPSS' FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis has been prepared on
the  basis  of  the  Supplemental  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  included
elsewhere herein.

Overview

      The original Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was introduced in
1969,  and the Company was  incorporated  in 1975.  The first SPSS products were
almost  exclusively used by academic  researchers  working on mainframe systems.
The  Company  has  subsequently   transformed  and  enhanced  its  core  product
technology,  broadened  its  customer  base into the  corporate  and  government
sectors, significantly expanded its sales and marketing capabilities and adapted
its products to changing hardware and software  technologies.  SPSS software was
adapted to minicomputers in the late 1970s and to desktop  platforms,  including
high-end  workstations and personal computers,  in the mid-1980s.  In June 1992,
the Company introduced its first windows-based graphical user interface product,
SPSS for Windows,  which it has since updated three times, and released versions
for Macintosh computers and major UNIX/Motif platforms. Approximately 52% of the
current  SPSS  customer  base works in corporate  settings,  with another 31% in
academic  institutions  and 17% in  government  agencies.  The  SPSS  sales  and
marketing  force now numbers more than 280  professionals  in 10 Company offices
worldwide.

     In recent years SPSS has experienced a significant  shift in the sources of
its revenues.  Between 1991 and 1995, Desktop product license revenues increased
from  approximately  50% to 77% of  total  net  revenues,  while  Large  Systems
software license revenues declined from  approximately 39% to 15%. Gross margins
associated  with the Company's  Desktop  products are slightly  lower than those
associated with its Large Systems products.  Shifts in the product mix may, as a
result,  cause  fluctuations in gross margins.  In addition,  the portion of the
Company's net revenues derived from international  operations increased from 40%
to 50% between 1993 and 1995.  This trend  continued in 1996. See  "MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF SPSS FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -
International Operations."

Results of Operations

      The following  table sets forth certain  statement of operations data as a
percentage of net revenues for the periods indicated.

</TABLE>


Comparison of Twelve Months Ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995.

Net Revenues.  Net revenues increased from $52,174,000 in 1993 to $62,594,000 in
1994 and to $73,794,000 in 1995, increases of 20% and 18%,  respectively.  These
increases were  primarily due to an increase in Desktop  revenues of 29% in 1994
and 24% in 1995,  partially  offset by a decline in Large System  revenues of 8%
and 1%,  respectively.  In  addition,  in 1994 and  1995,  the  increase  in net
revenues was due in part to the  acquisition by the Company of the remaining 50%
portion of SPSS Japan,  its Japanese joint  venture,  which was effective in the
first  quarter of 1994,  and the  September  1994  acquisition  of SYSTAT.  When
compared  to 1993,  the  SPSS  Japan  acquisition  accounted  for  approximately
$3,758,000  of the Company's  increase in sales in 1994 and  $6,898,000 in 1995.
The Company's acquisition of SYSTAT accounted for approximately  $668,000 of the
Company's increase in sales in the fourth quarter of 1994 and $1,704,000 in 1995
when compared to 1993. The increase in Desktop revenues reflected $24,032,000 in
1994 and  $31,438,000 in 1995 of new revenues from licenses of SPSS for Windows.
In addition, revenues from annual license renewals of Desktop products reflected
a $1,692,000  and $3,203,000  increase in annual  license  revenues for SPSS for
Windows in 1994 and 1995,  respectively.  The decline in Large Systems  revenues
was primarily due to the nonrenewal of product licenses on mainframe  platforms,
as well as the deferral into future  periods of revenues from renewal  licenses,
which exceeded the amount  recognized  from prior  periods.  Revenues from other
products  and  services  increased  by 20% in 1994 due to an  increase of 60% in
revenues  from  training  and  consulting  services,  partially  offset by a 34%
decrease in revenues from  publications and student products due to the shift of
the sales of SPSS  publications  and student  products  under the Prentice  Hall
Agreement.  In 1995,  revenues from other products and services  increased by 7%
due to an increase of 30% in revenues  from  training and  consulting  services,
partially  offset  by a  49%  decrease  in  revenues  previously  received  from
publications  and student  products due to the end of the payment of  guaranteed
royalties from the Prentice Hall

                                     - 19 -

Agreement  in July 1995.  The Company is no longer  entitled to such  guaranteed
royalties under the Agreement between the Company and Prentice Hall and now only
receives actual royalties under the Prentice Hall Agreement. Revenues were aided
by changes in foreign currency exchange rates in 1994 and 1995.

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  increased  from  $6,663,000  in 1993 to $7,243,000 in 1994, to
$7,709,000 in 1995. Such costs increased 9% in 1994 and 6% in 1995 due to higher
sales levels,  higher  amounts of capitalized  software  amortized and, in 1994,
higher royalties paid to third parties. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of
revenues decreased from 13% in 1993 to 12% in 1994 and to 10% in 1995.

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses increased from $24,743,000 in
1993 to  $32,109,000  in 1994 and to  $38,892,000 in 1995, an increase of 30% in
1994 and 21% in 1995.  These increases were due to expansion of the domestic and
international sales organizations,  salary and commission  increases,  increased
marketing  expenses  associated with SPSS for Windows,  in 1994 the inclusion of
all the sales and  marketing  expenses of SPSS Japan,  in the fourth  quarter of
1994  and 1995 the  incorporation  of the  SYSTAT  sales  organization  into the
Company,  and in 1995 the  negative  effects  of  changes  in  foreign  currency
exchange  rates. As a percentage of net revenues,  sales and marketing  expenses
increased from 47% in 1993 to 51% in 1994 and to 53% in 1995.

Product  Development.  Product development expenses increased from $8,330,000 in
1993 to  $9,215,000  in 1994  and to  $10,863,000  in 1995  (net of  capitalized
software   development   costs  of  $1,341,000,   $1,639,000   and   $1,630,000,
respectively)  an increase of 11% in 1994 and an increase of 18% in 1995. In the
same periods, the Company's expense for amortization of capitalized software and
product translations,  included in cost of revenues, was $1,006,000,  $1,239,000
and $1,592,000, respectively. The increases in product development expenses were
primarily due to salary increases,  the addition of technical personnel from the
SYSTAT acquisition into the Company,  and higher depreciation expense related to
the purchase of capital equipment used in product  development.  As a percentage
of net revenues,  product development  expenses declined from 16% in 1993 to 15%
in 1994 and 1995 primarily as a result of the increase in net revenues.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative  expenses increased from
$5,289,000  in 1993 to $5,594,000 in 1994 and to $6,277,000 in 1995, an increase
of 6% in 1994 and 12% in 1995.  These  increases were primarily  attributable to
increases  in general  insurance as a result of being a  publicly-held  company,
higher  professional  fees and the amortization of goodwill  associated with the
1994 acquisitions of SPSS Japan and SYSTAT, and in 1995 higher professional fees
and  charges  for bad debts.  Such  expense  decreased  as a  percentage  of net
revenues from 10% in 1993 to 9% in 1994 and 1995.

Nonrecurring  Items.  A  nonrecurring  charge of $2,466,000 was recorded in 1995
primarily related to the revaluation of certain assets  capitalized prior to the
Company's IPO in August 1993. Approximately $1,343,000 of this charge related to
the  development of  UNIX products,   approximately   $178,000  to  the  initial
development of QI Analyst,  and  approximately  $347,000 related to the Japanese
translation of SPSS and DOS. In addition,  approximately  $200,000 of the charge
related  to  the  out-dated   software  purchased  for  the  Company's  customer
information  system.  The  remainder  primarily related to shut down and  moving
costs at subsidiary locations.

Acquisition-related  Charges.  Charges  related to the  acquisition of SYSTAT in
1994 and BMDP in 1995  totaled  $1,928,000  and  $1,051,000,  respectively,  and
represented one-time write-offs of acquired and in-process  technology and other
acquisition-related charges.

Net Interest Income (Expense). Net interest income (expense) was ($1,682,000) in
1993 and ($229,000) in 1994, reflecting a decrease of 86% due to the elimination
of interest  expense related to the Company's  long-term debt, which the Company
prepaid  through  the use of net  proceeds  from the  Company's  initial  public
offering of stock in August 1993.  Net interest  income was $176,000 in 1995 due
to interest earned on short-term investments as well

                                     - 20 -

<PAGE>



as the elimination of interest  expense related to the Company's line of credit,
which the Company repaid with the net proceeds from the Company's  February 1995
public offering of stock.

Other  Income  (Expense).   Other  income  (expense)   consists  mainly  of  the
amortization of fees incurred in connection with the Recapitalization,  expenses
related to the stock appraisal action, and foreign exchange  transactions.  Such
other items were  ($390,000)  in 1993,  ($128,000) in 1994 and $132,000 in 1995.
The  1993  decrease  was due to  decreased  legal  expenses  resulting  from the
completion  of the  trial  of the  stock  appraisal  action  in  December  1992,
partially offset by the write-off of the unamortized balance of fees incurred in
connection  with the  Recapitalization  due to the  elimination of the Company's
long-term debt which had been incurred in connection with the  Recapitalization.
The 1994 net  amount  consisted  of  expenses  of  $248,000  related  to foreign
exchange transactions,  offset by $186,000 in proceeds from a Japanese insurance
claim settlement. The 1995 net amount was primarily foreign currency transaction
gains.

Provision  for Income  Taxes.  The  provision  for  income  taxes  consisted  of
$1,357,000 in 1993,  $2,192,000 in 1994 and $2,969,000 in 1995. During 1993, the
provision for income taxes was the result of pretax income of $5,077,000,  which
includes both domestic and international  operations,  reduced by a one-time tax
credit of $511,000 due to the  recognition of a fully  reserved (but  previously
unrealized)  deferred  tax  asset  realized  upon the  payment  of  accrued  but
previously unpaid ownership payments to the Company's  founders.  These payments
were made in 1993  through  the use of a portion  of the net  proceeds  from the
Company's  August 1993 initial public  offering.  During 1994, the provision for
income taxes was the result of pretax income of $6,148,000 and represented a tax
rate of  approximately  36% of pretax  income.  During 1995,  the  provision for
income taxes was the result of pre-tax  income of  $6,844,000,  reflecting a tax
rate of  approximately  38% of pre-tax income,  excluding the effect of Japanese
withholding taxes of $336,000 on monies transferred out of Japan in 1995.

Comparison  of Nine  Months  Ended  September  30,  1995 to  Nine  Months  Ended
September 30, 1996.

Net Revenues.  Net revenues were  $52,914,000 and $60,833,000 in the nine months
ended  September  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  $1,055,000,
the  Company's  increase  in  sales  was 13%.  Revenues  from  Desktop  products
increased  18% over the  corresponding  period in 1995 and  revenues  from Large
System  products  increased 3%. The increase in revenues  from Desktop  products
reflected  $4,491,000  in new  revenues  from  SPSS for  Windows.  In  addition,
revenues  from annual  license  renewals of Desktop  products  resulted in a net
increase of  $2,390,000,  reflecting  a  $2,945,000  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
5%  primarily  due to the  increase in training and  consulting  revenues.  This
increase was partially  offset by the decrease in revenues  previously  received
from  publications  and  student  products  due to the  end  of the  payment  of
guaranteed royalty payments related to the Prentice Hall Agreement in July 1995.
Revenues for the first nine months of 1996 were adversely affected by changes in
foreign currency exchange rates.

Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues were  $5,511,000 and $6,238,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, an increase of 13%. Such
costs  increased due to higher sales levels and higher  royalty  expense paid to
third parties. As a percentage of net revenues,  such expenses remained constant
at 10%.

Sales  and  Marketing.   Sales  and  marketing  expenses  were  $28,746,000  and
$30,596,000 in the nine months ended September 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 54% to 50%.

Product   Developments.   Product  development   expenses  were  $8,215,000  and
$9,841,000  (net of  capitalized  software  development  costs of $1,218,000 and
$716,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,

                                     - 21 -

respectively, an increase of 20%. 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  $1,194,000  and  $1,067,000,
respectively.  The increase in product development expenses was primarily due to
salary and recruiting fee increases,  depreciation  expense, and other additions
to the product development staff. As a percentage of net revenues, such expenses
remained constant at 16%.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses were $4,604,000
and  $5,337,000  in  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  1995  and  1996,
respectively,  an increase of 16%.  Such  expenses  increased  primarily  due to
increases  in bad  debt  expense,  employment  taxes,  employee  insurance,  and
temporary employment and rent expenses. As a percentage of net revenues, general
and administrative expenses remained constant at 9%.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest income was $85,000 and $310,000 for the nine
months ended September 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 $141,000 and $(190,000) for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  These amounts
are comprised  primarily of foreign currency gains (losses) in the corresponding
nine month periods.

Merger  Costs.  Charges  related to the  merger of CLEAR  totaled  $980,000  and
represented professional fees, severance pay, and other related costs.

Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes was  $2,207,000  and
$2,703,000 in the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 and 1996,  respectively,
reflecting an approximate effective tax rate of 36% and 34%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Company  had no  long-term  debt as of  September  30,  1996 and held
approximately $12,528,000 of cash and short term investments.  Funds in 1994 and
1995  were  used  in  operations,   for  acquisitions  and  to  finance  capital
expenditures  incurred  in  connection  with  staff  additions,  which  required
additional office space, furniture and computers. Capital expenditures were also
made for  additional  computer  hardware and software  associated  with software
development.

      The Company  currently has a $5,000,000  unsecured  line of credit under a
Credit Agreement with Bank of America N.T.S.A. ("B of A") under which borrowings
bear interest at B of A's reference rate under the Credit Agreement. The Company
used the net proceeds from the February 1995 public  offering of Common Stock to
repay its borrowings  under the Credit Agreement and $5 million of unused credit
is available  thereunder.  The credit  Agreement  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  the amounts  available  from cash and short term
investments  on hand,  under its line of credit,  and cash flows  generated from
operations,  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.


                                     - 22 -

<PAGE>



      The Company's  capital  expenditures,  primarily  for computer  equipment,
totaled   approximately   $2,600,000   in  1995  and  are   projected  to  total
approximately $3,200,000 and $3,500,000 in 1996 and 1997, respectively.  Capital
expenditures during 1995, included, among other things, new computer systems for
use in  internal  product  development.  Capital  expenditures  during 1996 will
include, among other things, new computers primarily for use in internal product
development,   replacement  of  the  customer   information   system   software,
furnishings and other equipment related to the move of the Company's facility in
the United Kingdom.  The Company does not believe that the implementation of its
business strategy will require  substantial  additional capital  expenditures in
comparison  with  historical  levels  of  product  development  costs  and other
expenses.

International Operations

      Significant growth in the Company's international operations also occurred
from  1993  to  1995.   Revenues   from   international   operations   comprised
approximately  40%  of  total  net  revenues  in  1993,  whereas  revenues  from
international operations contributed 50% of total net revenues in 1995.

      Following the reorganization of its international  operations in 1990, the
Company has  maintained  substantially  the same  telesales and direct  response
organization   worldwide.   The  international   sales  organization  uses  more
independent  distributors  than the domestic  sales  organization,  primarily in
countries without an SPSS sales office.  Management  believes the profit margins
associated with SPSS's domestic and international operations are essentially the
same.

      As international  revenues increase, the Company may experience additional
foreign currency exchange risk.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for
Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed of," was issued in
1995.  Implementation  of SFAS No. 121 is required in fiscal year 1996. SFAS No.
121 established  accounting  standards for the impairment of long-lived  assets,
certain  identifiable  intangibles,  and goodwill relating to those assets to be
held and used for long-lived assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles to be
disposed  of. SFAS No. 121 is not expected to have a  significant  impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

      SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting  for Stock-Based  Compensation,"  was issued in
1995.  Implementations is required in fiscal year 1996. SFAS No. 123 established
financial   accounting   and  reporting   standards  for  stock  based  employee
compensation  plans.  The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  this
statement  will have on the Company's  consolidated  financial  statements,  and
intends  to  provide  pro  forma  disclosures  of  net  income  as if  the  fair
value-based  method  prescribed  by SFAS No. 123 had been  applied in  measuring
compensation expense.

          The Company has agreed to register  the shares of Common  Stock of the
Selling   Stockholders   offered  hereby  under  the  Securities  Act.  In  this
connection,  the  selling  stockholders  are  required  to pay the  underwriting
discounts and commissions  and transfer taxes, if any,  associated with the sale
of their shares of Common Stock, and the Company will pay  substantially  all of
the expenses directly  associated with the registration of such shares of Common
Stock hereunder.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

          The Company will not receive any  proceeds  from the  registration  or
sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.

                        DIVIDEND POLICY AND RESTRICTIONS

          The Company has never declared any cash dividends or  distributions on
its  capital  stock  and  does  not  anticipate  paying  cash  dividends  in the
foreseeable  future. The Company currently intends to retain its future earnings
to fund ongoing operations and future capital requirements of its business.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          The Common Stock may be offered by the Selling  Stockholders from time
to  time  in  transactions  on  the  Nasdaq  National   Market,   in  negotiated
transactions, or a combination of such methods of sale, at fixed prices that may
be changed,  at market prices  prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related
to  such  prevailing  market  prices  or  at  negotiated   prices.  The  Selling
Stockholders may effect such transactions by the sale of the Common Stock

                                     - 24 -

to or through  broker-dealers,  and such broker-dealers may receive compensation
in  the  form  of  discounts,   concessions  or  commissions  from  the  selling
Stockholders   and/or  the   purchasers  of  the  Common  Stock  for  whom  such
broker-dealers  may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal,  or both
(which  compensation  to a  particular  broker-dealer  might  be  in  excess  of
customary commissions).  The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer who acts
in  connection  with the sale of  Common  Stock  hereunder  may be  deemed to be
"underwriters" as that term is defined in the Securities Act, and any commission
received by them and profit on any resale of the Common Stock as principal might
be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

          No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales,
or the availability of shares of Common Stock for future sales, will have on the
market price  prevailing from time to time. See "RISK FACTORS -- Shares Eligible
for Future Sale" elsewhere in this Prospectus.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

     With respect to SPSS Inc.'s unaudited interim  financial  information as of
March 31, 1996,  June 30, 1996 and  September  30, 1996 and for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 and 1996,  the six months  ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 and
the nine months ended  September  30, 1995 and 1996,  incorporated  by reference
herein,  the independent  certified  public  accountants have reported that they
applied  limited  procedures in  accordance  with  professional  standards for a
review of such  information.  However,  their separate  reports  included in the
Company's  quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 1996,

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




The Board of Directors and Stockholders
SPSS Inc.:


We have audited the  accompanying  supplemental  consolidated  balance sheets of
SPSS Inc.  and  subsidiaries  as of  December  31, 1994 and 1995 and the related
supplemental  consolidated statements of income,  stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1995.
These supplemental  consolidated  financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
supplemental consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The supplemental  consolidated  financial  statements give retroactive effect to
the merger of SPSS Inc. and Jandel  Corporation and Subsidiaries on November 20,
1996,  which has been  accounted  for as a pooling of  interests as described in
note 6 to the supplemental consolidated financial statements. Generally accepted
accounting   principles  proscribe  giving  effect  to  a  consummated  business
combination  accounted  for  by the  pooling-of-interests  method  in  financial
statements  that do not  include  the  date  of  consummation.  These  financial
statements do not extend through the date of  consummation.  However,  they will
become  the  historical  consolidated  financial  statements  of SPSS  Inc.  and
subsidiaries after financial statements covering the date of consummation of the
business combination are issued.

In our opinion, the supplemental  consolidated  financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial position of SPSS
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period
ended  December 31, 1995,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  applicable after financial  statements are issued for a period which
includes the date of consummation of the business combination.

                                                           KPMG PEAT MARWICK LLP

             Notes to Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements

                        December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995



(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (A) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     SPSS,  Inc.  (the  Company)  develops,  markets,  and supports  statistical
     software products and services that enable the effective use of marketplace
     and enterprise data in decision making.  The primary users of the Company's
     software are managers and data analysts in corporate  settings,  government
     agencies and academic institutions.
     The Company markets its products and services worldwide.

     (B) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The supplemental  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     SPSS Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts and
     transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     (C) USE OF ESTIMATES

     Management  of the Company has made a number of estimates  and  assumptions
     relating to the reporting of assets and  liabilities  and the disclosure of
     contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of the financial  statements
     and the  reported  amounts of revenues and  expenses  during the  reporting
     periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     (D) SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Company  recognizes  revenue from Desktop product  licenses,  net of an
     allowance for estimated returns and cancellations, at the time the software
     is  delivered.  Revenue from Large System  product  license  agreements  is
     recognized  upon  contract  execution,   product  delivery,   and  customer
     acceptance.

     Revenue from postcontract customer support (PCS or maintenance) agreements,
     including  PCS  bundled  with  Desktop  product  and Large  System  product
     license, is recognized ratably over the term of the related PCS agreements.
     Certain  Desktop product  licenses  include  commitments for  insignificant
     obligations,  such as technical and other support,  for which an accrual is
     provided.

     Revenue from  consulting,  publications,  and other items included in other
     revenue is recognized as the related  products or services are delivered or
     rendered.

     (E) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

     Software  development  costs incurred by the Company in connection with the
     Company's long-term development projects are capitalized in accordance with
     Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 86. The Company has not
     capitalized  software  development  costs relating to development  projects
     where the net realizable value is of short duration, as the effect would be
     immaterial. The Company reviews capitalized software development costs each
     period and, if necessary, reduces the carrying value of each product to its
     net realizable value.
                                                                     (Continued)

             Notes to Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements



     (F) COMPUTATION OF NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The net earnings per common and common equivalent share for the years ended
     December  31,  1993,  1994 and 1995 have been  computed  using the weighted
     average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares  outstanding
     for each year (5,306,152,  7,034,586 and 8,085,459  shares,  respectively).
     Common  equivalent  shares consist of the shares  issuable upon exercise of
     stock options (using the treasury stock method).

     Pursuant to Securities and Exchange  Commission Staff  Accounting  Bulletin
     No. 83, options for common stock granted  during the 12 months  immediately
     preceding the Company's  initial  public  offering date (using the treasury
     stock  method of the public  offering  price of $8.00 per share)  have been
     included in the  calculation of common and common  equivalent  shares as if
     they were outstanding for all periods presented prior to the initial public
     offering. In addition,  the calculation also includes preferred stock as if
     converted to Common Stock on the original  date of issuance for all periods
     presented prior to the initial public offering (see note 2).

     (G) DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Depreciation of furniture and equipment is provided using the straight-line
     method over the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets,  which range from
     three  to  eight  years.   Leasehold  improvements  are  amortized  on  the
     straight-line  method over the remaining  terms of the  respective  leases.
     Capitalized  software  costs are amortized on a  straight-line  method over
     three to five years  based upon the  expected  life on each  product.  This
     method results in greater amortization that the method based upon the ratio
     of current year gross  product  revenue to current and  anticipated  future
     gross product revenue.

     (H) INCOME TAXES

     The Company follows  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 109,
     Accounting  for Income Taxes  (Statement  109).  Statement 109 requires the
     asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in which deferred
     tax assets and liabilities  are recognized for the future tax  consequences
     attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement  carrying
     amounts of existing asset and  liabilities  and their  respective tax bases
     and  operating  loss and tax credit  carryforwards.  Deferred tax asset and
     liabilities  are  measured  using  enacted  tax rates  expected to apply to
     taxable  income  in the  years in which  those  temporary  differences  are
     expected to be recovered  or settled.  Under  Statement  109, the effect on
     deferred tax assets and  liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
     in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

     (I) INVENTORIES

     Inventories,  consisting of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost
     or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first out method.

                                                                     (Continued)

             Notes to Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements



     (J) GOODWILL

     The  excess  of the cost  over the fair  value of net  assets  acquired  is
     recorded as goodwill  and  amortized on a  straight-line  basis over ten to
     fifteen  years.  Accumulated  amortization  was $153,000 and $363,000 as of
     December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

     (K) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     The translation of the applicable  foreign  currencies into U.S. dollars is
     performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect
     at the balance  sheet date and for revenue and expense  accounts  using the
     average exchange rate during the period. The gains or losses resulting from
     such  translation  are included in  stockholders'  equity.  Gains or losses
     resulting from foreign currency  transactions are included in "other income
     and expense" in the statement of income.

     (L) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The fair values of financial instruments were not materially different from
     their carrying values.

     (M)     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash  equivalents are comprised of highly liquid  investments with
     initial maturity dates of less than three months.

     (N) RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Where  appropriate,  certain  items  relating  to the prior years have been
     reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current year.

(2)  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     In August 1993, the Company  completed an initial public offering of Common
     Stock.  The primary purpose of the initial public offering was to repay the
     note payable, term loan, subordinated debt, and related accrued interest.

     Upon the effective  date of the initial public  offering,  the Series A and
     Series B convertible  preferred shares were converted into shares of Common
     Stock and a reverse  one-for-three  Common  Stock split was  effected.  All
     common  share  and  per  share  amounts  in the  accompanying  supplemental

                                             ==========        ===========


     Total software  development costs,  including amounts expensed as incurred,
     amounted to approximately $10,444,000, $12,435,000 and $13,367,000, for the
     years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

     Included in acquired software technology at December 31, 1994 is $1,000,000
     related  to the  purchase  of CHAID  for  Windows.  The  future  guaranteed
     obligation  related  to  this  purchase,   reflected  in  the  supplemental
     consolidated  balance sheet as of December 31, 1995,  amounting to $550,000
     and is due through 1998.

     Included in acquired  software  technology at December 31, 1995 is $618,000
     of technology resulting from the acquisition of BMDP Statistical  Software,
     Inc. (see note 6).

(5)  INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

     In October  1988,  the  Company  entered  into a joint  venture  with Japan
     Systems  Engineering  Corporation (JSE) and formed SPSS Japan,  Inc., owned
     equally by JSE and the Company.  An  executive  of JSE,  the joint  venture
     partner,  was also a shareholder in SPSS Inc. The joint venture was created
     for the purposes of adopting,  marketing,  selling, licensing and providing
     technical support and assistance in Japan for the Company's  products.  The
     investment  in SPSS Japan,  Inc. was being  accounted  for using the equity
     method.  As of January 1, 1994,  SPSS  Japan,  Inc.  became a wholly  owned
     subsidiary of SPSS Inc. (see note 6).

     During the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company  recorded  $169,000 of
     royalty revenue from SPSS Japan, Inc.


                                                                     (Continued)

(6)  ACQUISITIONS

     During the first  quarter  of 1994,  the  Company  acquired  the  remaining
     capital  stock of SPSS Japan,  Inc. from its joint  venture  partner,  JSE.
     Results of SPSS Japan, Inc. are consolidated in the Company's statements of
     income from January 1, 1994.  The purchase  price for SPSS Japan,  Inc. was
     approximately  $50,000 and approximately  $1,600,000 in accrued  royalties,
     cash advances and interest was to be paid by SPSS Japan, Inc.
     to JSE over the next four years.

     The  acquisition  was  accounted for as a purchase  and,  accordingly,  the
     acquired assets and liabilities  have been recorded at their estimated fair
     values.  The  $961,000  excess of the  purchase  price over the fair market
     value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.

     During the third quarter of 1994, the Company acquired  specific assets and
     liabilities of SYSTAT, Inc. (SYSTAT).  SYSTAT is engaged in the business of
     statistical  software.  Results of SYSTAT  are  included  in the  Company's
     statements of income from  September 1, 1994. The purchase price for SYSTAT
     was $1,828,000, consisting of $600,000 in cash and 150,000 shares of Common
     Stock of the Company valued at $1,228,000. In addition, the Company granted
     options at $9.00 per share to purchase  150,000  shares of Common  Stock to
     the principal owners of SYSTAT.

     The SYSTAT  acquisition  was accounted for as a purchase and,  accordingly,
     the acquired assets and  liabilities  have been recorded at their estimated
     fair values.  The  $1,403,000  excess of the  purchase  price over the fair
     market  value of the net assets  acquired was recorded as goodwill in 1994.
     During 1995 certain assumed  liabilities  were revalued,  and  consequently
     SYSTAT goodwill was reduced to $1,203,000.

     As of December  29, 1995,  the Company  acquired  substantially  all of the
     assets of one of its competitors,  BMDP Statistical Software,  Inc. (BMDP),
     for $850,000 in cash to BMDP and  noncompetition  payments to the principal
     shareholder   of  BMDP.   In  addition,   the  Company   agreed  to  assume
     approximately  $1,400,000  of BMDP's  liabilities,  consisting of telephone
     equipment  and office  machine  lease  obligations,  accounts  payable  and
     advertising fees, accrued employment-related  expenses,  professional fees,
     and bank loan and line of credit facilities. In the fourth quarter of 1995,
     the Company recorded charges of approximately of $1,051,000  representing a
     one-time  write-off  of  acquired  and  in  process  technology  and  other
     acquisition-related  charges.  The BMDP  acquisition was accounted for as a
     purchase and,  accordingly,  the acquired assets and liabilities  have been
     recorded  at their  estimated  fair  values.  The  $301,000  excess  of the
     purchase  price over the fair market  value of the net assets  acquired was
     recorded as goodwill.

     The pro forma  impact  of these  acquisitions  on the  1993,  1994 and 1995
     supplemental consolidated statements of income is not material.

     On September 26, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  capital
     stock of Clear Software,  Inc. (Clear), a developer and marketer of process
     management,  analysis and documentation  software products, in exchange for
     183,833 shares of Common Stock.  The merger with Clear was accounted for as
     a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the financial statements have been
     restated  as if the  Company  and Clear had been  combined  for all periods
     presented.

                                                                     (Continued)

     On November 20, 1996, the Company  acquired all of the outstanding  capital
     stock of Jandel  Corporation  and  Subsidiary  (Jandel),  a  developer  and
     marketer of graphical  and  statistical  software  products  used mainly in
     scientific applications for 339,427 shares of common stock. The merger with
     Jandel was accounted for as a pooling of interests  and,  accordingly,  the
     financial  statements  have been  restated as if the Company and Jandel had
     been combined for all periods presented.

     The following information reconciles net revenues and net income of SPSS as
     previously   reported  with  the  amounts  presented  in  the  accompanying
     supplemental  consolidated  statements  of income for the three years ended
     December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995.

     $3,244,000  and $3,618,000  during the years ended December 31, 1993,  1994
     and 1995, respectively.

(8)  FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

     At December 31, 1994, the Company had borrowings  totaling $2,874,000 under
     a line of credit  bearing  interest at prime (8.5% at December 31, 1994 and
     1995).  As of December 31, 1995, the Company owed no amounts under the line
     of credit.  The line of credit is  collateralized  by all of the  Company's
     assets and does not require a compensating  balance,  however,  the Company
     pays a facility fee of one-half of one percent on the unused  amount of the
     line of credit.  At December 31, 1995, the entire $5,000,000 of the line of
     credit was unused.

     At December 31, 1994,  the Company had borrowings  totaling  $7,000 under a
     line of credit bearing  interest at 2% above the Bank's lending rate (9% at
     December 31,  1995).  As of December 31, 1995,  the Company owed no amounts
     under the line of credit.  The $100,000 line of credit agreement is secured
     by the assets of the Company.  At December 31, 1995, the entire $100,000 of
     the line of credit was unused.

     At December  31,  1994,  the Company  had  borrowings  under two term loans
     aggregating $90,991 from a bank bearing interest at prime plus 1.75% (10.5%
     as of December 31, 1994) and 9.5% per annum. On March 31, 1995, the Company
     fully repaid this long-term debt.

     At December 31, 1995,  the Company has available a bank line of credit that
     provides  for  borrowings  up to $300,000,  bearing  interest at the bank's
     prime rate plus 1.25% per annum (9.75% as of December 31,  1995),  expiring
     January  15,  1997.  The credit  line is  collateralized  by the  Company's
     accounts  receivable,  inventory,  and other  assets and also  requires the
     maintenance of certain specified ratios and a minimum net worth, with which
     the Company was in compliance as of December 31, 1995. Amounts  outstanding
     under this line of credit were $75,000 as of December 31, 1995.

     Effective   March  15,  1996,  the  Company   established   a    $5,000,000
     unsecured 364-day revolving credit facility available for advances pursuant
     to a definitive credit agreement. The Company pays a facility fee of 0.375%
     on the unused  portion of the facility.  If the Company does borrow against

As of  December  31,  1995,  Jandel  had net  operating  loss  carryforwards  of
approximately $398,000 and $200,000 for Federal and state purposes respectively,
expiring in years 2000 through  2010.  As of December 31, 1995,  Jandel also had
net  operating  loss   carryforwards   for  Jandel   Scientific  GmbH  totalling
approximately $45,000.

Jandel has  available as of December 31,  1995,  Federal and state  research and
experimentation tax credit carryforwards of approximately $480,000 and $198,000,
respectively, which expire in the years 2004 through 2010.

Due to the merger with SPSS,  Jandel's ability to utilize net operating loss and
credit carryforwards may be affected.

100 shares of Common  Stock for each  share of  preferred  stock and  effected a
reverse  one-for-three Common Stock split,  resulting in 1,755,000 and 2,000,000
shares of Common Stock, respectively.

      The Company issued 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock on the August 18, 1993
effective date of the initial public offering, with an additional 266,667 shares
subsequently issued to the underwriters to cover  overallotments,  at an initial
offering  price of $8.00  per  share.  The  Company  used  the net  proceeds  of
$15,592,000  and part of the new line of  credit  to  retire:  (i) term  loan of
$7,000,000  and  accrued  interest  of  $378,000,  (ii)  subordinated  notes  of
$1,000,000  and  accrued  interest  of  $212,000,  (iii)  subordinated  note  of
$4,367,000 and  subordinated  obligation of $1,300,000  and accrued  interest of
$1,188,000, and (iv) subordinated obligation of $375,000 and accrued interest of
$61,000,  and  replaced the  existing  revolving  line of credit by repaying the
outstanding balance of $3,671,000.

      Three  former  holders of Class B Common  Stock of the  Company  exercised
their  statutory  rights  to  dissent  from the value at which  their  stock was
redeemed.  During  1993,  the  court  issued  an order  valuing  the  dissenting
shareholders'  stock at $20.70 per share (or $520,025 for the total stock value,
before adjustment for the above one-for-three stock split), plus interest at the
rate of 9% per annum from October 10, 1990 until payment,  and awarded attorneys
fees and costs incurred by the former shareholders.

      The Company filed an appeal  related to this matter to challenge the trial
procedure,  the courts'  valuation of the stock and the award of attorneys' fees
and costs.  The Company had posted a bond of  $1,184,000  during the pendency of
the appeal. On February 3, 1995, the Company's  Petition for Leave to Appeal was
denied  by the  Illinois  Supreme  Court.  Subsequently,  the  Company  paid the
judgment and settled all  remaining  claims,  and on April 16,  1995,  the court
entered an Agreed  order of  Dismissal  with  Prejudice  of all pending  claims,
defenses and counterclaims.

      In February 1995, the Company and certain Selling  Stockholders  completed
an offering of Common Stock in which the Company  sold 700,000  shares of Common
Stock and the Selling  Stockholders  sold 921,916  shares of Common Stock,  at a
public offering price of $11.375 per share, and each sold an additional  208,287
and  35,000  shares,   respectively,   when  the  underwriters  exercised  their
overallotment option in March 1995. After the underwriters'  discounts and other
offering expenses, the Company received approximately $9,127,000 in net proceeds
from its sale of 908,287 shares of Common Stock in the offering.

                                                                     (Continued)

Stock to the  principal  owners  of  SYSTAT.  In  addition,  in June  1995,  the
Shareholders  of the  Company  adopted  the 1995  Equity  Incentive  Plan  which

             Notes to Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (unaudited)

(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited interim supplemental  consolidated financial
statements  reflect all  adjustments  which,  in the opinion of management,  are
necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of the  results  of  the  interim  periods
presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

         These supplemental  consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction  with the  Company's  audited  supplemental  consolidated  financial
statements  and notes  thereto for the year ended  December  31,  1995  included
elsewhere herein.

(2)      BUSINESS COMBINATION

         The  unaudited  supplemental  consolidated  financial  statements  give
retroactive  effect to the  merger  of SPSS  Inc.  and  Jandel  Corporation  and
Subsidiary  on November 20, 1996,  which has been  accounted for as a pooling of
interests.  These  financial  statements  do not  extend  through  the  date  of
consummation.  However, they will become the historical  consolidated  financial
statements of SPSS Inc. and subsidiaries after financial statements covering the
date of consummation of the business combination are issued.
