 1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

 Jack Henry  &  Associates, Inc.  ("JHA"  or  the "Company")  is  a  computer
 software company which has developed or acquired several banking and  credit
 union software systems.  The Company's revenues are predominately earned  by

 The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of  JHA
 and all of  its wholly-owned subsidiaries  and all significant  intercompany
 accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

 Comprehensive income for each of the three-month periods ended September 30,
 2002 and 2001, equals the Company's net income.

 RECLASSIFICATION

 Where appropriate, prior period financial information has been  reclassified
 to conform with the current period's presentation.

 OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 The accounting policies followed by the Company  are set forth in Note 1  to
 the Company's  consolidated  financial  statements included  in  its  Annual
 Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K") for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.


 2.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.144, Accounting  for
 the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, was issued in August  2001.
 This  Statement  addresses  financial  accounting  and  reporting  for   the
 impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  This Statement supersedes SFAS
 No. 121, Accounting for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-
 Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting  provisions
 of Accounting  Principles Board  Opinion No. 30,  Reporting the  Results  of
 Operations - Reporting the Effects of  Disposal of a Segment of a  Business,
 and  Extraordinary,   Unusual   and  Infrequently   Occurring   Events   and
 Transactions, for the  disposal of a  segment of a  business (as  previously
 defined in that Opinion).   The provisions of  this Statement are  effective
 for  financial   statements  issued   for  fiscal   years  beginning   after
 December 15, 2001 (July 1, 2002 for  JHA), and interim periods within  those
 fiscal  years,  with early  application encouraged.  The  adoption  of  this
 standard on July 1,  2002 did not  have a material  effect on the  Company's
 consolidated financial position or results of operations.


 3.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 The accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
 prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the  Securities

 generally accepted in  the United States  of America  applicable to  interim
 condensed consolidated financial statements, and do  not include all of  the
 information  and  footnotes  required  by  accounting  principles  generally
 accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial
 statements.  The condensed consolidated financial statements should be  read
 in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial  statements
 and accompanying notes  which are  included in its  Form 10-K  for the  year
 ended June 30, 2002.

 In the  opinion of  management of  the Company,  the accompanying  condensed
 consolidated  financial   statements  reflect   all  adjustments   necessary
 (consisting solely of  normal recurring adjustments)  to present fairly  the
 financial position of the Company as  of September 30, 2002, the results  of
 its operations and its cash flows  for the three months ended September  30,
 2002 and 2001.

 The results of operations  for the period ended  September 30, 2002 are  not
 necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

 ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
             AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 Background and Overview

 Jack Henry and Associates, Inc. provides integrated computer systems for in-
 house and outsourced data  processing to commercial  banks with under  $10.0
 billion in total assets, credit unions and other financial institutions. The
 Company has  developed and  acquired banking  and credit  union  application
 software systems that we market, together with compatible computer hardware,
 to financial institutions  throughout the  United States.  The Company  also
 performs data conversion and software installation for the implementation of
 our systems and provide continuing customer maintenance and support services
 after the systems are installed. For our customers who prefer not to make an
 up-front investment in software and hardware,  we provide our full range  of
 products and services on an outsourced basis through our eight data  centers
 and fourteen item processing centers located across the United States.

 A detailed discussion of the major  components of the results of  operations
 for the three month period ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same
 period in the previous year follows:

 REVENUE - Revenues increased 2% to $94.0 million for the three months  ended
 September 30, 2002 from $92.6 million for  the same period last year.   Non-
 hardware revenues increased 3% to $72.4 million, accounting for 77% of first
 quarter fiscal 2003 revenues, compared to $70.3 million in the first quarter
 a year ago,  representing 76%  of revenue.   Support  and services  revenues
 increased 14% to $47.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002
 compared to  $41.6  million  in  the  same  period  in  the  previous  year.
 Licensing and installation revenues decreased 18% from $22.3 million for the
 three months ended September 30, 2001 to $18.3 million for the three  months
 ended September 30, 2002. Hardware revenues totaled $21.5 million or 23%  of
 total revenues for  the first quarter  compared to $22.3  million or 24%  of
 total revenues in the same period in the previous year.

 Support and services revenue growth for the three months ended September 30,
 2002 is attributable to continuing growth  in outsourcing services, ATM  and
 debit card  processing services  and  additional in-house  support  revenue,
 which is all recurring  revenue. We believe that  the decline in  licensing,
 installation and hardware revenue is due  to the industry-wide softness  and
 reduction in the capital  goods marketplace.   Our complimentary and  credit
 union products  have  remained  strong contributors  during  these  economic
 times.   We remain  confident that  when  the market  recovers, we  will  be
 positioned to generate strong sales.

 Our backlog increased  at September 30,  2002 to $146.5  million ($53.2  in-
 house and $93.3 outsourcing) from $141.7  million ($52.8 in-house and  $88.9
 outsourcing) at June 30, 2002 and  $128.9 million ($49.8 in-house and  $79.1
 outsourcing) at September 30, 2001.

 COST OF SALES  - Cost  of sales  increased 10%  for the  three months  ended
 September 30,  2002  from $53.5  million  in  September 30,  2001  to  $58.9
 million.   Cost of  services and  customer reimbursements  increased 11%  to
 $42.7  million  from  $38.6  million,  primarily  due  to  the  increase  in
 outsourcing, ATM and debit card transaction processing and in-house  support
 revenue. While  software  sales were  slow  during the  first  quarter,  our
 employee cost increased due  to continued support  and services, along  with
 additional depreciation expense. Cost of hardware increased 9% over the same
 three month period last  year due to the  effect of reduced incentives  from
 hardware suppliers.   These  incentives are  based on  thresholds that  were
 established from much higher sales volumes in the prior year plus additional
 vendor discounts that we passed on to the customer.

 GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit decreased 10% to $35.1 million or 37% of revenue
 compared to $39.0 million or  42% of revenue in  the first quarter of  2002.
 Non-hardware margin was  41% for this  quarter compared to  45% in the  same
 quarter last year.   Hardware margin was  25% compared to  33% in the  first
 quarter a year ago.

 Gross profit margins can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to the mix of
 products and services  sold, incentives from  hardware suppliers, and  other
 factors, as noted in the revenue and cost of sales discussion.

 OPERATING EXPENSES - Total operating expenses increased 3% to $17.5  million
 in the three months  ended September 30, 2002  compared to $17.0 million  in
 the  same  period  for  the  prior  year.  Selling  and  marketing  expenses
 increased 10%, research and development  expenses increased 22% and  general
 and administrative expenses decreased 10% in the same three month period.

 Selling and marketing expense increased for the first quarter, primarily due
 to increased personnel costs related to increased sales force.  Research and
 development increased primarily due to increases  in personnel to allow  for
 continued development of new products and improvement of existing  products.
 General and  administrative expenses  decreased primarily  due to  continued
 efforts to control expenses by management  and lower employee benefit  costs
 this year in the area of our self-insured health care benefits.

 INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE) - Net interest  income for the three months  ended
 September 30, 2002 reflects a decrease of $608,000 when compared to the same
 period last year  due to lower  interest rates on  our cash investments  and
 decreased borrowings.

 PROVISION FOR  INCOME  TAXES -  The  provision  for income  taxes  was  $6.5
 million, or 36.5% of income before  income taxes for the three months  ended
 September 30, 2002 compared with $8.2 million or 36% of income before income
 taxes for the same  period last year.   The tax rate was  adjusted due to  a
 change in estimates relating to permanent timing differences.

 NET INCOME - Net income for the first quarter was $11.3 million or $.13  per
 diluted share compared to  $14.6 million, or $.16  per diluted share in  the
 same period last year.

 Business Segment Discussion

 Revenues in the bank  systems and services  business segment increased  2.0%
 from $79.0 million to $80.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
 2001 and 2002, respectively.  Gross  profit decreased 9% from $34.1  million
 in the first quarter of  the previous year to  $31.0 million in the  current
 first quarter. Gross  profit margin decreased  11% to 38%  from 43% for  the
 current first quarter  compared to the  same quarter in  the previous  year.
 Gross profit margins decreased primarily due to decline in licensing revenue
 relating to an industry  wide software slowdown  along with higher  employee
 costs, higher depreciation expense and reduced vendor incentives.

 Revenues in the credit union systems and services business segment decreased
 2% from $13.5 million to $13.3 million for the three months ended  September
 30, 2001  and 2002,  respectively.   Gross profit  decreased 14%  from  $4.9
 million in the first  quarter of the  previous year to  $4.2 million in  the
 current first quarter. Gross  profit margin decreased  in the current  first
 quarter compared to the same quarter in  the previous year from 36% to  32%.
 The credit union segment gross profit margin was also impacted by  increases
 in personnel  costs,  customer  reimbursements  and  reduction  in  hardware
 margins due to reduced vendor incentives.

 FINANCIAL CONDITION

 Liquidity

 The Company's cash and cash equivalents  and investments increased to  $42.6
 million at  September  30,  2002,  from $18.7  million  at  June  30,  2002,
 primarily due to collection of annual  in-house support fees billed at  June
 30, reduced  by  cash  outlays for  treasury  stock  purchased  and  capital
 expenditures.

 JHA has available credit lines totaling $58.0 million at September 30, 2002.

 JHA  generally uses existing resources  and funds generated from  operations
 to  meet  its  capital requirements.  Capital  expenditures  totaling  $16.5
 million and $11.2  million for the  three month period  ended September  30,
 2002 and  2001, respectively,  were made  for  expansion of  facilities  and
 additional equipment.  These were funded from cash generated by  operations.
 The total consolidated  capital expenditures of  JHA, excluding  acquisition
 costs, are not expected to exceed $45 million for fiscal year 2003.

 The Company paid a $.035  per share cash dividend  on September 20, 2002  to
 stockholders  of  record  on  September  6,  2002  which  was  funded   from
 operations.   In addition, the  Company's Board of Directors, subsequent  to
 September 30, 2002, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.035 per share on
 its common  stock payable  December 3,  2002 to  stockholders of  record  on
 November 19, 2002.   This  dividend will be  funded by  cash generated  from
 operations.

 Critical Accounting Policies

 The Company regularly reviews its  selection and application of  significant
 accounting policies and related financial  disclosures.  The application  of
 these accounting  policies  requires  that  management  make  estimates  and
 judgments.  The estimates that affect  the application of our most  critical
 accounting policies and require our most significant judgments are  outlined
 in Management's Discussion and Analysis  of Financial Condition and  Results
 of Operations -  "Critical Accounting Policies"  - contained  in our  annual
 report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002.

 Forward Looking Statements

 The Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Results  of  Operations  and
 Financial Condition  and  other portions  of  this report  contain  forward-
 looking statements within the  meaning of federal  securities laws.   Actual
 results are  subject  to  risks  and  uncertainties,  including  both  those
 specific to the  Company and  those specific  to the  industry, which  could
 cause results to differ materially from  those contemplated.  The risks  and
 uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the matters detailed at  Risk
 Factors  in  its  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for  the fiscal year ended
 June 30, 2002.  Undue reliance should not be placed  on  the forward-looking
 statements. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update
 any forward-look statements.

 CONCLUSION

 JHA's results  of operations  and its  financial  position continued  to  be
 favorable during the three months ended  September 30, 2002.  This  reflects
 the continuing  attitude of  cooperation and  commitment by  each  employee,
 management's ongoing  cost control  efforts and  commitment to  deliver  top
 quality products and services to the markets it serves.


 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 Market risk refers to  the risk that a  change in the level  of one or  more
 market prices, interest rates, indices, volatilities, correlations or  other
 market factors  such as  liquidity,  will result  in  losses for  a  certain
 financial instrument or group  of financial instruments.   We are  currently
 exposed to credit risk on credit extended to customers and interest risk  on
 investments in U.S. government securities.  We actively monitor these  risks
 through a variety of controlled procedures involving senior management.   We
 do not currently  use any derivative  financial instruments.   Based on  the
 controls in place, credit worthiness of  the customer base and the  relative
 size of these  financial instruments, we  believe the  risk associated  with
 these exposures will not have a material adverse effect on our  consolidated
 financial position or results of operations.


 ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

 Within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, under the supervision and
 with the participation of the Company's management, including the  Company's
 Chief  Executive  Officer  (CEO)  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  (CFO),  an
 evaluation of the  effectiveness of  the Company's  disclosure controls  and
 procedures was performed.   Based on this evaluation,  the CEO and CFO  have
 concluded  that  the  Company's  disclosure  controls  and  procedures   are
 effective to  ensure  that  material  information  is  recorded,  processed,
 summarized and reported by  management of the Company  on a timely basis  in
 order  to  comply  with  the  Company's  disclosure  obligations  under  the
 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the SEC rules thereunder.

 There have been no significant changes  in our internal controls or in other
 factors  that  could  significantly affect those controls subsequent  to the
 date of their last evaluation.
