See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 6 SPSS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of SPSS Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions to United States Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. It is presumed that the reader has already read the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, as amended. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, as amended. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 2 - RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain revenues, expenses and balances of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. NOTE 3 - STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company maintains one stock incentive plan that is flexible and allows various forms of equity incentives to be issued under it. The Company accounts for this plan using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. No compensation is recognized for stock option grants to employees. All options granted under the stock incentive plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effects on net income (loss) and income (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to stock-based compensation.

NOTE 5 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per common share (EPS) are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock (basic) plus common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted) during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options, which have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Basic weighted average shares reconciles to diluted weighted average shares as follows:

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES The Company has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed on or about May 14, 2004 and amended on September 30, 2004, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, under the caption Fred Davis, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. SPSS Inc., Jack Noonan, Edward Hamburg and KPMG LLP, Case No. 04C03427. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint alleges that the defendants failed to disclose and misrepresented a series of material adverse facts regarding the Company's revenues. The complaint seeks to recover unspecified compensatory damages, reasonable attorney fees, experts' witness fees and other costs and any other relief deemed proper by the court on behalf of all purchasers of the Company's securities between May 2, 2001 and March 30, 2004, although no court has determined that such persons constitute a proper class. SPSS and the officers named above have not responded to the complaint as of the date of this filing. SPSS, Mr. Noonan, and Dr. Hamburg believe that the suit is without merit and intend to defend vigorously against the allegations contained in the complaint. 8 NOTE 7 - NASDAQ LISTING STATUS On April 1, 2004, SPSS received a Nasdaq Staff Determination relating to the Company's failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2003 with the SEC on or before the March 30, 2004 filing deadline. On June 7, 2004, SPSS received an additional notice from the Nasdaq indicating its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004 with the SEC on or before the May 10, 2004 filing deadline. These notices informed the Company that it had failed to comply with the filing requirements for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), and that its common stock is, therefore, subject to delisting from the Nasdaq National Market. Following these notices, the Company received correspondence from the Nasdaq granting SPSS extensions of time to file its periodic reports. On July 29, 2004, the Company filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2003 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004. On August 4, 2004, the Company received notification from the Nasdaq that the SPSS common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market, subject to the Company's continued compliance with all of the standards for continued listing on the NASDAQ National Market and the Company's timely filing with the SEC, and delivery to NASDAQ, of its periodic reports for all reporting periods ending on or before June 30, 2005. As of August 5, 2004, the symbol for the Company's common stock was changed from "SPSSE" back to "SPSS." 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 27A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, STATEMENTS REGARDING THE COMPANY'S EXPECTATIONS, BELIEFS, INTENTIONS OR FUTURE STRATEGIES THAT ARE SIGNIFIED BY THE WORDS "EXPECTS," "ANTICIPATES," "INTENDS," "BELIEVES," "ESTIMATES" OR SIMILAR LANGUAGE. ALL FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE BASED ON INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO SPSS ON THE DATE HEREOF. SPSS CAUTIONS INVESTORS THAT ITS BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, PLEASE REFER TO PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DOCUMENTS THAT SPSS HAS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. BECAUSE OF THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, SOME OF WHICH MAY NOT BE CURRENTLY ASCERTAINABLE AND MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE COMPANY'S CONTROL, ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PROJECTED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. DEVIATIONS BETWEEN ACTUAL FUTURE EVENTS AND THE COMPANY'S ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS COULD LEAD TO RESULTS THAT ARE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE EXPRESSED IN OR IMPLIED BY THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. SPSS DOES NOT INTEND TO UPDATE THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS TO REFLECT ACTUAL FUTURE EVENTS. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes, which appear elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004, AND COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 The Company has restated its financial statements for fiscal years 2001 and 2002, including the corresponding interim periods for 2001 and 2002, and the interim periods ended in March, June and September 2003. Please refer to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 for additional information. The results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 set forth in this section reflect these restated numbers. TOTAL NET REVENUES.
PERIOD (IN THOUSANDS) PERCENTAGE PERCENT OF TOTAL REVENUES 2003 2004 CHANGE 2003 2004 ---- ---- ------ ---- ---- (AS RESTATED) THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, $ 52,546 $ 53,498 2% 100% 100% NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, $150,603 $163,612 9% 100% 100%
Total net revenues increased $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2004 from the third quarter of 2003, and increased $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003. These increases were primarily due to increases in new sales of SPSS data mining and statistical tools, maintenance revenues increasing $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, revenues related to the Company's November 2003 acquisition of Data Distilleries, and changes in currency exchange rates. This increase was partially offset by the divestiture of the Company's Sigma-series products in December 2003 and a $2.2 million drop in revenues from consulting services for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Noticeable increases in revenues occurred in the United States in the federal government and academic sectors amounting to a $3.1 million increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Total net revenues were positively affected by revenues from acquisitions and changes in currency exchange rates of approximately $0.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the three month period ending September 30, 2004, and approximately $2.4 million and $9.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. Total net revenues were negatively affected by the Sigma-series divestiture in the amount of approximately $1.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2004, and approximately $4.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. 10 Revenues from international operations were 48% and 54%, respectively, in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 43% and 49%, respectively, of total net revenues in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003.

License revenues decreased $0.5 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004 from the three month period ended September 30, 2003 and increased $2.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. The $0.5 million decrease in the third quarter of 2004 was primarily driven by lower new revenues from SPSS applications for market research and ShowCase business intelligence tools, and the Company's divestiture of its Sigma-series products in December 2003 which represented $1.4 million of license revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003. This decrease was offset by higher sales of SPSS data mining and desktop statistical analysis tools, sales of predictive analytic applications from the Company's Data Distilleries acquisition and changes in currency exchange rates. New license fees from the applications acquired with Data Distilleries were approximately $0.2 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004. The $2.8 million increase for the first nine months of 2004 was primarily driven by higher sales of SPSS data mining and desktop statistical analysis tools, sales of predictive analytic applications from the Company's Data Distilleries acquisition and changes in currency exchange rates. This increase was partially offset by the effects of the Company's divestiture of its Sigma-series products in December 2003 which represented $3.8 million of license revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. New license fees from the applications acquired with Data Distilleries were approximately $0.6 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. MAINTENANCE REVENUES.

Maintenance revenues increased $3.1 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004 from the three month period ended September 30, 2003 and increased $12.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. These increases were primarily due to higher renewal rates for the Company's major offerings and changes in currency exchange rates. Additionally, maintenance revenues from Data Distilleries applications were $1.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. SERVICES REVENUES.

11 Services revenues decreased $1.7 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004 from the three month period ended September 30, 2003 and decreased $2.2 million from the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. These decreases were primarily due to fewer ShowCase-related consulting projects. This decrease was partially offset by consulting revenues related to implementations of Data Distilleries applications and changes in currency exchange rates.

Cost of license and maintenance revenues consists of costs of goods sold, amortization of capitalized software development costs, and royalties paid to third parties. These costs increased $0.3 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004 from the three month period ended September 30, 2003 and increased $1.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. These increases were primarily due to higher costs associated with the increase in license revenues and higher amortization of capitalized and acquired technology assets in connection with the release of new products and the acquisition of Data Distilleries. Amortization of capitalized and acquired technology assets increased $0.9 million from the comparable nine month period in 2003. Cost of license and maintenance revenues should remain relatively constant as a percentage of total revenues in the final quarter of the 2004 fiscal year. SALES, MARKETING AND SERVICES.

Sales, marketing and services expenses decreased $0.7 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004 from the three month period ended September 30, 2003, primarily due to lower AOL service cost as a result of the amended agreement with AOL effective October 2003 partially offset by higher compensation expense. Sales, marketing and services expenses increased $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, primarily due to compensation increases, one-time severance costs of $1.3 million associated with personnel changes in the Company's sales and professional services organizations which were incurred during the first six months of 2004, staff additions and changes, the addition of employees with the acquisition of Data Distilleries, and changes in currency exchange rates. Such increases were partially offset by lower AOL service costs which were $4.7 million lower in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 compared with the same period of 2003. Sales, marketing and services expenses should increase in subsequent quarters consistent with expected increases in license fees and services revenue. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.

Research and development costs increased $0.9 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004 from the three month period ended September 30, 2003 and increased $2.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. These increases were primarily due to the addition of Data Distilleries development personnel, $0.4 million in lower capitalization of research and development expense from the comparable three month period in 2003, and changes in currency exchange rates. Such costs are expected to remain relatively constant in the final quarter of 2004. 12 GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.

General and administrative expenses increased $2.4 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2004 from the three month period ended September 30, 2003 and increased $4.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. These increases were primarily due to higher legal and accounting expenses related to the Company's completed review and restatement of its financial results, a long-term receivable write-off, and the continued cost of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance work. Related to the review and restatement, legal and accounting expenses have totaled approximately $2.7 million, of which $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, were expensed in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004. Additionally, the Company wrote-off a $1 million long-term receivable due to customer insolvency and recorded a gain on sale of a property held in the United Kingdom of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2004. NET INTEREST EXPENSE.

Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased from the corresponding period of 2003 primarily due to lower debt levels. Net interest expense was higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from the corresponding period of 2003 due to interest expense related to the Company's financing arrangement with Wells Fargo Foothill. Net interest expense included net interest income in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 which was earned on line-of-credit deposits which did not repeat in 2004. OTHER INCOME.

Other income in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 was primarily due to gains from foreign currency transactions from the weakening of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies. Conversely, in the corresponding periods of 2004, the strengthening of the dollar led to losses from currency transactions due to the decline in value of U.S. dollar-denominated receivables held overseas. Additionally, in the first nine months of 2004, the Company recorded a charge of $0.2 million due to the write-off of the Company's 2001 investment in e-intelligence Corporation. These losses were offset by a $1.0 million European research and development incentive credit received from the French Government in the second quarter of 2004 relating to expenditures accumulated through 1999. 13 INCOME TAX EXPENSE.
PERIOD (IN THOUSANDS) PERCENTAGE PERCENT OF TOTAL REVENUES 2003 2004 CHANGE 2003 2004 ---- ---- ------ ---- ---- (AS RESTATED) THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, $1,465 $ 369 (75%) 35% 31% NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, $1,496 $ 970 (35%) 32% 33%
The income tax provision changed in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 compared to the corresponding periods of 2003 due primarily to a change in relative earnings contribution in the Company's tax jurisdictions. The Company's effective tax rate should remain at or near 33 percent for the remainder of the 2004 fiscal year. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30 2004, working capital was $8.3 million with a current ratio of 1.1 to 1. Excluding current deferred revenue, working capital was $63.8 million with a current ratio of 2.9 to 1. Cash flows from operating activities were $8.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared with $13.3 in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in cash from operations in 2004 was mainly due to higher tax payments and lower deferred revenue balances, partially offset by improved accounts receivable collections. In the first nine months of 2004, cash from operations came primarily from net operating activities and receivable collections partially offset by income tax payments and reductions to deferred revenues. Average days sales outstanding were 67 days at September 30, 2004, compared to 78 days at December 31, 2003 and 79 days at September 30, 2003. Capital expenditures and software development costs were $8.7 million and $10.8 million in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Capital spending was generally for software development to enhance future business system technology. Management believes that SPSS has ample capacity in its plant and equipment to meet expected needs for future growth in the intermediate term. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, SPSS received scheduled payments totaling $3.0 million on the sale of its Sigma-series product line consummated in December 2003, repurchased common stock related to its acquisition of Data Distillleries of $5.4 million, and received $2.5 million of proceeds from disposal of a property in the United Kingdom. Cash provided by financing activities was $2.0 million and $0.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2004, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, financing activities provided cash proceeds of $2.5 million from the issuance of common stock, primarily through the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchases through the employee stock purchase plan. These proceeds were partially decreased by net repayments of $1.9 million under its line of credit agreements. On March 31, 2003, SPSS entered into a four (4) year, $25 million credit facility with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. (f/k/a Foothill Capital Corporation). The Wells Fargo Foothill facility includes a four (4) year term loan in the amount of $10.0 million and a revolving line of credit. The Company had borrowings of $6.5 million under the term loan as of September 30, 2004. The maximum amount SPSS may borrow under the revolving line of credit portion of the facility will depend upon the value of the Company's eligible accounts receivable generated within the United States. Additionally, the Company had immediate availability of $6.0 million under the revolving line of credit. There are no borrowings under the revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2004. The terms and conditions of the Wells Fargo Foothill credit facility are specified in a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2003, by and between Wells Fargo Foothill and SPSS. The term loan portion of the facility bears interest at a rate of 2.5% above prime, with potential future reductions of up to 0.5% in the interest rate based upon achievement of specified EBITDA targets. One component of the revolving line of credit will bear interest at a rate of prime plus 3.0%. On the remainder of the revolving line of credit, SPSS may select interest rates of either prime plus 0.25% or LIBOR plus 2.5% with respect to each advance made by Wells Fargo Foothill. The term loan of $10 million will be paid down evenly over the four (4) year period (i.e., $2.5 million per year). 14 The Wells Fargo Foothill facility requires SPSS to meet certain financial covenants including minimum EBITDA targets and includes additional requirements concerning, among other things, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make investments, engage in mergers, acquisitions or consolidations where SPSS is not the surviving entity, sell assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, and amend its organizational documents or make changes in capital structure. The Wells Fargo Foothill facility is secured by all of the Company's assets located in the United States. ShowCase Corporation, a Minnesota corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SPSS, and NetGenesis Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SPSS, have guaranteed the obligations of SPSS under the Loan and Security Agreement. This guaranty is secured by all of the assets of ShowCase and NetGenesis. SPSS intends to fund its future capital needs through operating cash flows and borrowings on our credit facility. SPSS anticipates that amounts available from cash and cash equivalents 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 at the current level of operations. 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 SPSS on favorable terms or at all. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, SPSS makes certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company's critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, capitalization of software development costs, impairment of long-lived assets, the estimation of credit losses on accounts receivable and the valuation of deferred tax assets. For a discussion of these critical accounting policies, see "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in the SPSS Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued an exposure draft entitled "Share-Based Payment, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95." This exposure draft would require stock-based compensation to employees to be recognized as a cost in the financial statements and that such cost be measured according to the fair value of the stock options. In the absence of an observable market price for the stock awards, the fair value of the stock options would be based upon a valuation methodology that takes into consideration various factors, including the exercise price of the option, the expected term of the option, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the underlying share price, the expected dividends on the underlying shares and the risk-free interest rate. The proposed requirements in the exposure draft would be effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will continue to monitor communications on this subject from the FASB in order to determine the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 15 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. SPSS is exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings under its borrowing arrangement that bears interest at either the prime rate or the Eurodollar rate. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $6,505,000 outstanding under this line of credit. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an additional $65,000 of annual interest expense, assuming the same level of borrowing. SPSS is exposed to market risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Since a substantial portion of its operations and revenue occur outside the United States and in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company's results can be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage this exposure to fluctuations to currency exchange rates, SPSS may enter into various financial instruments, such as options, which generally mature within 12 months. Gains and losses on these instruments are recognized in other income or expense. Were the foreign currency exchange rates to depreciate immediately and uniformly against the U.S. dollar by 10 percent from levels at September 30, 2004, management expects this would have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial results. At September 30, 2004, SPSS did not have any option contracts outstanding. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Disclosure controls and procedures. SPSS maintains disclosure controls and procedures that have been designed to ensure that information related to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. SPSS has reviewed its internal control structure and these disclosure controls and procedures. In connection with this review, SPSS has established a compliance committee that is responsible for accumulating potentially material information regarding its activities and considering the materiality of this information. The compliance committee (or a subcommittee) is also responsible for making recommendations regarding disclosure and communicating this information to the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The SPSS compliance committee is comprised of the Company's senior legal official, principal accounting officer, senior manager in charge of investor relations, principal risk management officer, and certain other members of the SPSS senior management. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not capable of preventing all instances of error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion or two or more people or by management override of the control. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis. CEO and CFO certifications. Attached as Exhibit 31.1 and 31.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are certifications by the Company's CEO and CFO. These certificates are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Section 302 Certifications"). This portion of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q describes the results of the Company's controls evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications. Evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer with the participation of the compliance committee, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This evaluation included a review of findings from KPMG arising in conjunction with their audits recently completed that included the restatement of previously issued financial information, and an independent investigation initiated by the Company's Audit Committee, each of which is described below. In connection with its audits of the Company's financial statements for 2003, 2002 and 2001, KPMG assessed the internal controls of the Company and its subsidiaries and advised the Company's Audit Committee that certain identified deficiencies collectively constituted a material control weakness (as defined by standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)). In its communications with the SPSS Audit Committee, KPMG stated that these deficiencies were related to: 16 - Certain account reconciliation and review procedures; - Specific procedures in accounting for capitalized software and development costs; - Revenue recognition policies and certain processes; - Certain processes in and documentation of accounting for income taxes; - The complex consolidation process and reconciliation of intercompany accounts; - Accounting and finance resources at two subsidiaries; - Segregation of duties in certain cash application tasks; - Timely completion of statutory filings in two foreign countries; - Document retention policies and procedures; and - Timely approval of stock option grants. The Company's management and Audit Committee have taken a leadership role in assessing the underlying issues giving rise to the restatement and in ensuring proper steps have been and are being taken to improve the Company's control environment. The Company's management and Audit Committee took these actions in consultation with KPMG. Independent legal counsel to the Audit Committee and a forensic accounting firm performed an independent investigation into accounting issues with regard to accounting for deferred revenue that arose prior to and in connection with the restatement. That investigation found and concluded that the Company's finance and accounting personnel had made a number of accounting and arithmetic errors, and that there was no evidence of any fraud, intentional misconduct or concealment on the part of SPSS, its officers or its employees. That investigation also concluded that several of the accounting issues that arose in connection with the restatement were exacerbated by a difficult, three-year conversion of the Company's accounting and reporting software (including the Company's legacy general ledger system) to an Oracle Financials system, and several acquisition transactions accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, that taxed the Company's finance and accounting resources and personnel. The Audit Committee, however, also concluded that the Company's accounting, financial reporting and internal control functions needed improvement, including the Company's system of documenting transactions. The Audit Committee found that the Company's management has proactively identified a number of these issues during the past two years and has already addressed or is appropriately taking steps to address them. Actions taken in response to the evaluation. As a result of the findings described above, in 2003 and 2004 the Company began implementing and continues to implement the following actions to address the issues it identified in its evaluation of controls and procedures: - SPSS has sought to thoroughly understand the nature of the issues through discussions with KPMG and the independent counsel and forensic accountants engaged by the SPSS Audit Committee; - The Company's Audit Committee has exercised increased oversight over management's assessment of internal controls and response to control weaknesses in the above assessments; - SPSS has recruited and is recruiting new personnel to the finance organization who have expertise in financial controls, financial reporting and income tax to improve the quality and level of experience of the Company's finance organization; - SPSS is continuing to assess the adequacy of the accounting and financial reporting competence and leadership capabilities of management personnel who have accounting and finance responsibilities; - SPSS has hired a tax manager with U.S. and international tax experience, including eight years of service on the tax staff of a Big-Four accounting firm, to strengthen the Company's accounting and documentation for income taxes; - SPSS has adopted and is implementing formal standard financial policies and procedures and education and training of employees on policies and procedures in an effort to constantly improve internal controls and the control environment; - SPSS is formalizing all review and reconciliation processes by having reviewers timely sign their work as well as aggregate and file all reconciliations in a central file repository; - SPSS has established a committee to improve the Company's policies and procedures related to the documentation of criteria to support the technological feasibility of products; - SPSS began monitoring net realizable value calculations of capitalized software development costs on a quarterly basis (such monitoring had previously been done on an annual basis) through reviews by a person with knowledge of the Company's products and opportunities for product sales, including secondary products, to evaluate the appropriateness of capitalized software balances; 17 - SPSS is in the process of improving and standardizing policies and procedures for revenue recognition across all Company locations; - SPSS had enhanced internal control mechanisms related to accounting for deferred revenue, which played a significant role in the discovery of the errors related to the Company's restatement of its financial statements; - SPSS has adopted a formal process consisting of an in-depth review of the tax provision, including deferred tax accounts, on a quarterly basis; - SPSS has adopted a formal process to provide for a more controlled and organized consolidation, including a review of adjustments to ensure that prior period consolidating entries have been either properly carried forward or eliminated in the consolidation for the current period; - SPSS has implemented intercompany reconciliation procedures and is working to further validate, support and document the effects of changes in foreign currency on intercompany balances; - SPSS has transferred accounting responsibilities for the Company's market research business in the United States from the Company's Kilburn-United Kingdom office to its Chicago office to improve controls and the efficiency of monthly closings; - SPSS has implemented the SPSS Inc. Code of Business Conduct & Ethics (the "Code of Ethics") which is applicable to all of the SPSS directors, officers and employees, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and other senior financial officers performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics satisfies, and in many respects exceeds, all of the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Code of Ethics also satisfies, and in many respects exceeds, the listing standards established by the NASDAQ National Market, the exchange on which the Company's stock is listed. The Company has posted the Code of Ethics on its website at http://www.spss.com; - SPSS has made changes to the Company's organizational structure to provide a clearer segregation of responsibilities in connection with account reconciliations, manual journal entries, and the preparation and review of documentation to support the Company's quarterly and annual statements; and - SPSS is implementing an account reconciliation policy, which requires the monthly reconciliation of all balance sheet accounts and the use of standard methodology and templates for account reconciliations. SPSS believes that its disclosure controls and procedures have improved due to the scrutiny of such matters by its management and Audit Committee, its external auditors, and other persons the Company has engaged to assist it in assessing and improving its system of internal controls. SPSS believes that its controls and procedures will continue to improve as it completes the implementation of the actions described above. Based in part upon these changes, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Other than as described above, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in the evaluation that occurred during the Company's third quarter of fiscal year 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 18 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS SPSS Inc. has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed on December 6, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, under the caption Basu v. SPSS Inc., et al., Case No. 02CV9694. The complaint alleges that, in connection with the issuance and initial public offering of shares of common stock of NetGenesis Corp., the registration statement and prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO contained material misrepresentations and/or omissions. The alleged violations of the federal securities laws took place prior to the effective date of the merger in which the Company's acquisition subsidiary merged with and into NetGenesis Corp. NetGenesis Corp. is now a wholly owned subsidiary of SPSS. Other defendants to this action include the former officers and directors of NetGenesis Corp. and the investment banking firms that acted as underwriters in connection with the IPO. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified compensatory damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest, reasonable attorney fees, experts' witness fees and other costs and any other relief deemed proper by the Court. The Company is aggressively defending itself, and plans to continue to aggressively defend itself against the claims set forth in the complaint. The Company and the named officers and directors filed an answer to the complaint on July 14, 2003. At this time, the Company believes the lawsuit will be settled with no material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The Company has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed on or about May 14, 2004, and amended on September 30, 2004, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, under the caption Fred Davis, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. SPSS Inc., Jack Noonan, Edward Hamburg, and KPMG LLP, Case No. 04C03427. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint alleges that the defendants failed to disclose and misrepresented a series of material adverse facts regarding the Company's revenues. The complaint seeks to recover unspecified compensatory damages, reasonable attorney fees, experts' witness fees and other costs and any other relief deemed proper by the court on behalf of all purchasers of the Company's securities between May 2, 2001 and March 30, 2004, although no court has determined that such persons constitute a proper class. SPSS and the officers named above have not responded to the complaint as of the date of this filing. SPSS, Mr. Noonan, and Dr. Hamburg believe that the suit is without merit and intend to defend vigorously against the allegations contained in the complaint. SPSS may also become party to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION Audit Committee Pre Approval of Non-Audit Services The audit committee of the Company's board of directors approved certain non-audit services provided to SPSS by KPMG LLP, the Company's auditors. The audit committee pre-approved these non-audit services pursuant to the pre-approval procedure previously established by the audit committee. During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, the chairman of the audit committee pre-approved the following non-audit services, which approval was ratified by the full audit committee on October 1, 2004: - - $25,000 to be paid to KPMG as compensation for tax services related to SPSS Australasia Pty Ltd. and Surveycraft Pty Ltd. - - $1,000 to be paid to KPMG as compensation for tax services related to SPSS Japan, Inc. - - $12,000 to be paid to KPMG as compensation for tax services related to Data Distilleries, B.V. - - $30,000 to be paid to KPMG as compensation for tax services related to SPSS International, B.V. - - $13,000 to be paid to KPMG as compensation for tax services related to SPSS International, B.V., and - - $6,000 to be paid to KPMG as compensation for tax compliance services related to SPSS UK Ltd. The aggregate compensation paid to KPMG for the above non-audit related services was $87,000. 19 The Audit Committee has determined that the fees paid to KPMG and nature of services provided during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 would not impair the independence of KPMG.
