Significant sales for the quarter included:
-- Analytical Solutions: Up 25 percent growth from pro forma revenues in the second quarter 2001, and flat on a fully comparable basis excluding revenues from NetGenesis and LexiQuest. Sales of Clementine and other enterprise data mining products increased in North America but were down internationally. Approximately $600K in OEM deals was recognized in the current quarter, compared to $2 million during the same period last year.

-- Market Research: Growth of 13 percent from pro forma market research revenues in the second quarter 2001 and 36 percent sequentially, partially due to our previously announced contract with Procter and Gamble. The Online (AOL) business generated revenues of $1.7 million, flat sequentially to the prior quarter and still drawing the bulk of its revenue from the customer base received from AOL/DMS. Yet the pipeline growth of new prospects increased despite continued price pressure from new competitors.

-- Statistics: Steady demand for comparatively low-ticket, shrink-wrap products produced an 11 percent increase from pro forma statistics revenues in the same period last year, due in part to a six-figure contract with CNAM-TS, the national healthcare organization of France.

-- ShowCase: Up six percent from the June 2001 quarter and 20 percent sequentially, reflecting improved sales in North America and the close of a seven-figure contract with a large French retail and manufacturing company.

Noonan continued, saying, "Our challenge is balancing the excitement we have about the growing demand for predictive analytics Predictive analytics encompasses a variety of techniques from statistics and data mining that process current and historical data in order to make “predictions” about future events.  with the continued uncertainty we feel about customer spending in the coming months. Pipelines continue to build, particularly for our recently acquired LexiQuest text analysis products, and there is strong initial interest in our forthcoming offering, CustomerCentric Predictive Marketing (formerly Scenario A scenario (from Italian, that which is pinned to the scenery) is a synthetic description of an event or series of actions and events.

The changes he is making will eliminate the redundancies, establish primary sales contacts for customers, provide broader support to these sales people, and concentrate their efforts on increasing new license and services revenue. We believe these adjustments can produce the same or higher top-line performance at a lower cost."

Noonan also noted the company's 8-K that was filed with the SEC earlier today related to its purchasing certain assets of netExs Corporation, a five-person software development company located in Oconomowoc, Wisc., USA. "What we bought is zero-client user interface technology for query To interrogate a collection of data such as records in a database.

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

Topic               Comments

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

and services costs  transaction, and the netExs, NetGenesis, and
                    LexiQuest acquisitions; partially offset by
                    reductions in the number of sales and professional
                    services personnel, mostly related to ShowCase
                    sales and marketing activities.

R&D costs           Increase primarily due to the addition of staff
                    from the netExs, NetGenesis and LexiQuest
                    acquisitions as well as compensation increases in
                    the second half of 2001.

G&A costs           Show the addition of staff from the NetGenesis
                    acquisition and expansion of the corporate
                    executive group; partially offset by the
                    elimination of goodwill amortization with the
                    implementation of SFAS No. 142

Merger-related      assets as well as integrating the LexiQuest and

income taxes        weakening of the US$ against other major
                    currencies. Effective tax rate of 36%

Cash                Reduced from $23.2 million in March 2002 with
                    additional costs related to integrating the
                    LexiQuest and NetGenesis acquisitions, payments
                    for Hyperion royalties ($979K) and AOL sample
                    ($1.8M), funding of the company's Illumitek
                    subsidiary ($870K), and capital expenditures
                    ($4.7M).

Days Sales          90 days  average  rate (82 spot rate). Compares to
Outstanding         99 days average rate (88 spot rate) in March 2002,
                    112 average rate (101 spot rate) in December 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

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

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