EXPLANATORY NOTE

      On November 6, 2001, HNC Software Inc. filed registration statement number 333-72804, registering $150,000,000 principal amount of 5.25% convertible subordinated notes issued by HNC, and the shares of HNC common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.

      On August 5, 2002, HNC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fair, Isaac with and into HNC, and each share of HNC common stock was converted into Fair, Isaac common stock. In connection with the merger, HNC’s 5.25% convertible subordinated notes became convertible into shares of Fair, Isaac common stock. In addition, Fair, Isaac and HNC entered into a supplemental indenture whereby Fair, Isaac agreed to guarantee the notes on a subordinated basis.

      On September 24, 2002, Fair, Isaac and HNC filed registration statement number 333-100061, to register the Fair, Isaac common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes and Fair, Isaac’s guarantees of the convertible notes, and a post-effective amendment to registration statement number 333-72804 with respect to the convertible notes which revised that registration statement to reflect the merger, the Fair, Isaac common stock, and the Fair, Isaac guarantees. On October 4, 2002, HNC filed a post-effective amendment to registration statement number 333-72804 to remove and withdraw from registration all shares of HNC common stock registered pursuant to HNC’s registration statement which remained unissued.

      On November 1, 2002, HNC merged with and into Fair, Isaac, with Fair, Isaac as the surviving company. Fair, Isaac is separately filing a new registration statement to register the resale of the unsold convertible notes assumed by Fair, Isaac and the Fair, Isaac common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.

      This filing is made by Fair, Isaac and HNC as a joint post-effective amendment to registration statement number 333-72804 and registration statement number 333-100061 to remove and withdraw from registration all remaining securities registered pursuant to these registration statements which remained unissued.
