 on the company's performance in each of its revenue reporting categories during the current quarter:
-- Analytical Solutions: 57 percent growth from pro forma revenues in the first
quarter 2001; up 16% on a fully comparable basis excluding revenues from
NetGenesis and LexiQuest. Improvement was seen in sales of Clementine and other
enterprise data mining products, both internationally and in the United States.
These increases were partially offset by the absence of any major OEM deals in
the quarter and the small amount (under $1 million) of new NetGenesis license
revenue. Yet many customers purchased services rather than software, which is
common when tight budgets focus attention on enhancing current software
investments rather than making new ones.

-- Market Research. Up 30 percent from pro forma market research revenues in
the first quarter 2001 due to $1.7 million of AOL-related revenues; otherwise
up 4%, reflecting the continued difficult climate for completing high-ticket
sales to information technology departments in market research firms. The
Online (AOL) business continued to draw most of its revenue in the quarter from
the customer base inherited from AOL/DMS, but the pipeline of new prospects
grew nicely from December 2001 despite price pressure from new competitors.

-- Statistics: Steady demand for comparatively low-ticket, shrink-wrap products
produced a 2 percent increase from pro forma statistics revenues in the same
period last year.

-- ShowCase. Down 6 percent from the March 2001 quarter and 2 percent
sequentially, reflecting continued weakness in the middle market for
higher-ticket business intelligence software and services.


Looking at other financial aspects of the quarter and fiscal year, Hamburg made the following comments, which, unless noted, reference pro forma results excluding acquisition-related and other non-recurring charges:

Topic           Comments

Cost of         Increase primarily due to AOL sample costs, Hyperion
revenues        Solutions royalties, the amortization of acquired
                technology assets, and royalties from NetGenesis
                products

Sales,          Primarily reflect the addition of staff from AOL/DMS
marketing,      transaction as well as NetGenesis and LexiQuest
and services    acquisitions; partially offset by reductions in the
expenses        number of sales and professional services personnel,
                mostly related to ShowCase activities

Research and    Primarily reflect the addition of staff from the
development     NetGenesis and LexiQuest acquisitions as well as
expenses        compensation increases in the second half of 2001;
                partially offset by staff reductions made throughout
                2001

General and     Primarily reflect the addition of staff from the
administrative  expansion of the corporate executive group and
expenses        NetGenesis acquisition; partially offset
                by the elimination of goodwill amortization with the
                implementation of SFAS No. 142

Special G&A     Costs associated with the LexiQuest and NetGenesis
and Merger-     transactions: professional fees, severance payments,
related         retention and other bonuses, related travel and
charges         meetings expenses

Other income    Interest income, partially offset by interest expense
& income        and a small loss to currency translations. Effective
taxes           tax rate of 36%


Cash            Reduced from $31.2 million in December 2001 by
                payments related to the LexiQuest ($4.5) and
                NetGenesis ($2M) acquisitions, AOL sample ($1.8M),
                funding of Illumitek subsidiary ($1M), and capital
                expenditures ($2.5M)

Days Sales      99 days average rate (88 spot rate). Compares to 112
Outstanding     average rate (101 spot rate) in December 2001, 117
                (106) in September 2001 and 114 (134) in December
                2000. A/R reduced from December 2001 despite higher
                revenues and the addition of NetGenesis, AOL, and
                LexiQuest related receivables

Current &       Deferred tax assets due to the deferral of revenue
other assets    with the application of accounting interpretations on
                revenue recognition; includes goodwill related to the
                ISL, AOL, NetGenesis, and LexiQuest transactions;
                includes intangible assets from the AOL, NetGenesis,
                and LexiQuest transactions; adds fixed assets from
                LexiQuest acquisition

Capitalized     Includes the determined value of the technologies
software        acquired in the AOL transaction as well as the
                NetGenesis and LexiQuest acquisitions. Target
                capitalization for the fiscal year is 10%-12% of
                research and development costs

Deferred        Down from December 2001 with lower reported revenues
revenues

Current         Accounts payable reduced from December 2001 despite
liabilities     AOL and NetGenesis integrations; reflects addition of
                liability to AOL/TW in 2002 and accrued liabilities
                from NetGenesis and LexiQuest

Noncurrent      Shows long-term liability to AOL and capital leases
liabilities     from NetGenesis

Staff           Including staff assumed in the LexiQuest acquisition,
                1,432 full-time employees as of March 31, 2002; 296
                are sales representatives (230 quota-carrying). 59%
                are employed in North America (31% at headquarters in
                Chicago), 41% in international offices. Compares to
                1,385 full-time staff, 289 sales representatives (229
                quota carrying) in December 31, 2001, and 1,330
                full-time staff, 321 sales representatives (288
                quota-carrying) in March 31, 2001


For the quarter ending June June: see month.  30, 2002, Hamburg projected that the company would show revenues of between $50 and $53 million and diluted earnings per share of between $0.07 and $0.15. These figures compare to pro forma revenues and earnings in the second quarter 2001 of $47.1 million and $0.07, respectively, and GAAP revenues and loss of $44.0 million and ($0.20), respectively.
