Employee Stock Purchase Plan: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of SPSS Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of SPSS Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/KPMG LLP Chicago, Illinois March 22, 2001 -2- 3 SPSS INC.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL The Plan was established on December 17, 1993 to allow employees of SPSS Inc. (the Company) to acquire shares of the Company's common stock on a quarterly basis through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the market price. CONTRIBUTIONS Participants may contribute up to 10% of their base salary to the Plan. At the end of each quarter, the total funds deducted from participants' pay checks are used to purchase SPSS Inc. common stock at 85% of the closing market price of the stock on the first trading day after the end of the quarter. Effective October 26, 2000, the Plan was amended to calculate the share purchase price as 85% of the lower of i) the closing market price of the stock on the first trading day of the quarter or ii) the closing market price for the stock on the last trading day after the end of the quarter. USE OF FUNDS All contributions to the Plan are used to purchase shares of SPSS Inc. common stock. VESTING Participants are entitled to all rights as a holder of stock with respect to any stock issued, including the right to vote such shares. NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS There are 122 participants in the Plan as of December 31, 2000. WITHDRAWALS Participants can withdraw from the Plan at any time and receive a refund of money deducted from their salary and not yet invested in stock. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN Although the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it may do so at any time. (continued) -5- 6 SPSS INC.

INVESTMENTS Participants' contributions are under the control of the Company, and may be maintained as a single fund or commingled with other funds. CONTRIBUTIONS Participants' contributions are recorded when withheld from the participants' paychecks by the Company. These contributions are invested in SPSS Inc. common stock on a quarterly basis. No interest is paid or accrued on amounts withheld through payroll deductions under the Plan.

Immediately following each quarterly purchase, the Company withholds the appropriate amount of tax, according to the withholding rules in effect, from the participants' paycheck.
