Employee Stock Purchase Plan: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the SPSS Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, 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, 1997. 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 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. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the SPSS Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/KPMG Peat Marwick LLP Chicago, Illinois March 18, 1998 SPSS INC.

SPSS INC. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Notes to Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Description of Plan The following description of the 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. At the end of each quarter, the total funds deducted from participants' pay checks are used to purchase SPSS Inc. common stock, $.01 par value per share, at 85% of the closing market price of the stock on the first 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 126 participants in the Plan as of December 31, 1997. 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) SPSS INC. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Notes to Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and present the net assets available for plan benefits and the changes in those net assets. Investments Participants' contributions are under the control of the Company, 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. (3) Federal Income Taxes The Plan is not subject to income taxes, as these taxes are incurred by the participants. Immediately following each quarterly purchase, the Company withholds the appropriate amount of tax, according to the withholding rules in effect, from the participants' paycheck. The participants, however, are responsible for taxes due as a result of the 15% discount from market received under the Plan. (4) Administrative Expenses All administrative expenses relating to the Plan are paid by the Company. SIGNATURE The Plan.
