                JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              (In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)
                                 (Unaudited)


 NOTE 1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


 DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

 Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("JHA" or the "Company") is a
 leading provider  of  integrated computer  systems  that has  developed  and
 acquired a  number  of  banking  and  credit  union  software  systems.  The
 Company's revenues  are  predominately  earned  by  marketing  those systems
 to  financial  institutions  nationwide  together  with  computer  equipment
 (hardware) and  by  providing  the conversion  and  software  implementation
 services for financial institutions  to utilize a  JHA software system.  JHA
 also provides continuing support and services to customers using in-house or
 outsourced systems.


 CONSOLIDATION

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


 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 In December 2004, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")  issued
 SFAS No. 123 (R), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)"), a revision of  SFAS
 123. SFAS 123  (R) supersedes Accounting  Principles Board  Opinion No.  25,
 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"  ("APB 25") and amends  Statement
 of Financial Accounting Standards  No. 95 "Statement  of Cash Flows"  ("SFAS
 95"). SFAS 123(R) is  similar to the approach  described in SFAS 123  except
 that SFAS 123(R) requires all  share-based payments to employees,  including
 grants of  employee stock  options, to  be  recognized in  the  consolidated
 statements of  income, in  lieu of  pro forma  disclosure. SFAS  123 (R)  is
 effective for  fiscal periods  beginning after  June 15,  2005. The  Company
 adopted the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) as of July 1, 2005, the first day  of
 fiscal 2006 and is using the modified-prospective transition method with the
 Black-Scholes model for estimating the fair value of equity compensation.

 In  March  2005,  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  issued   Staff
 Accounting Bulletin ("SAB")  No. 107, "Share - Based Payment" that  provided
 additional guidance  to public  companies  relating to  share-based  payment
 transactions and  the  implementation  of SFAS  123(R),  including  guidance
 regarding valuation  methods  and  related  assumptions,  classification  of
 compensation expense and income tax effects of share-based compensation.

 On June 29, 2005, the Board  of Directors approved the immediate vesting  of
 all stock options previously granted under the 1996 Stock Option Plan ("1996
 SOP") that had exercised prices higher  than the market price on such  date.
 As a result of this action, the vesting of 201,925 options  was  accelerated
 by an average of  15 months.  No other changes  to these options were  made.
 The weighted average exercise price of these accelerated options was $21.15,
 and exercise prices of  the affected options ranged  from $18.64 to  $25.00.
 The accelerated options  constitute only 2.1%  of the company's  outstanding
 options. No  options held  by any  directors or  executive officers  of  the
 Company were accelerated or affected in any manner by this action.

 The purpose of accelerating vesting of the options was to enable the Company
 to reduce the impact of  recognizing future compensation expense  associated
 with these  options  upon  adoption of  SFAS  123(R).  Commencing  with  the
 Company's fiscal year that began July 1, 2005, SFAS 123(R) requires that the
 Company recognize compensation expense  equal to the  fair value of  equity-
 based compensation awards over  the vesting period of  each such award.  The
 aggregate pre-tax  expense  for the  shares  subject to  acceleration  that,
 absent the  acceleration  of  vesting, would  have  been  reflected  in  the
 Company's consolidated  financial statements  beginning  in fiscal  2006  is
 estimated to be a total of approximately $802 (approximately $510 in  fiscal
 2006,  approximately $185 in fiscal 2007,  approximately $89 in fiscal  2008
 and approximately $18 in fiscal 2009).

 For the  first  quarter of  fiscal  2006,  there was  $149  in  compensation
 expense from equity-based awards.  The adoption  of  SFAS 123  (R)  did  not
 materially  impact  the  Company's  consolidated financial  statements.  The
 following  table  illustrates  the effect  on  net income and net income per
 share for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 had the Company accounted for its
 stock-based awards under the fair value method of SFAS 123.

 NOTE 2.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position 109-1, "Application on FASB
 Statement No.  109,  Accounting for  Income  Taxes, for  the  Tax  Deduction
 Provided to U.S. Based  Manufacturers by the American  Jobs Creation Act  of
 2004" ("FSP 109-1").  FSP 109-1 clarifies how to apply Statement No. 109  to
 the new law's tax deduction for income attributable to "Domestic  production
 activities."  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new  law
 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 In May 2005,  the FASB issued  SFAS No. 154,  "Accounting Changes and  Error
 Corrections - a replacement of APB  Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement  No.3"
 ("SFAS 154").  SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for, and
 reporting of, a change  in accounting principle.  SFAS 154  requires that  a
 voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all
 prior period financial statements presented using the accounting  principle.
 SFAS 154 is effective  for accounting changes and  corrections of errors  in
 fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  The implementation of  SFAS
 154 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's  consolidated
 financial statements.

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


 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 Background and Overview

 We provide  integrated computer  systems for  in-house and  outsourced  data
 processing  to  commercial   banks,  credit  unions   and  other   financial
 institutions.  We have  developed  and  acquired banking  and  credit  union
 application software  systems  that  we  market,  together  with  compatible
 computer hardware, to these  financial institutions.  We also  perform  data
 conversion and software implementation services  of our systems and  provide
 continuing customer support services after the systems are implemented.  For
 our customers  who prefer  not to  make an  up-front capital  investment  in
 software and hardware, we provide our full range of products and services on
 an outsourced  basis through  our six  data centers  and  22 item-processing
 centers located throughout the United States.

 The first  quarter of  fiscal year  2006 resulted  in consistent  and  solid
 revenue increases  in  services with  stable  gross and  operating  margins,
 resulting in  a net  income increase  of 16%  compared to  the prior  year's
 quarter.

 A detailed discussion of the major  components of the results of  operations
 for the three months ended September 30,  2005 follows.  All amounts are  in
 thousands and  discussions compare  the  current three-month  period  ended,
 September 30, 2005, to the prior year three-month period ended September 30,
 2004.

 REVENUE

                                           2005           2004
                                         --------       --------
     License                            $  16,908      $  19,551      -14%
     Percentage of total revenue               12%            16%

 License revenue  represents the  delivery  of application  software  systems
 contracted with  us by  the customer.  We license  our proprietary  software
 products under  standard  license  agreements  that  typically  provide  the
 customer with a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the software on
 a single computer and for a single financial institution location.

 The license revenue decrease in the  quarter can be partially attributed  to
 the continued  increasing demand,  especially by  banks, for  item and  data
 processing delivered through our  outsourcing offering instead of  in-house.
 Outsourcing does not require software  license agreements and therefore  the
 financial institution's initial  capital outlay is  dramatically reduced  by
 the choice of this delivery alternative.

                                         ========

 Support  and  services  fees  are  generated  from  implementation  services
 (including  conversion,  installation,  implementation,  configuration   and
 training), annual support to assist the customer in operating their  systems
 and to enhance and update the software, outsourced data processing  services
 and ATM and debit card processing (EFT Support) services.

 There was strong growth  in all support and  service revenue components  for
 the first quarter of fiscal 2006  due to increased software  implementations
 performed during the previous twelve months.  ATM and debit card transaction
 processing services together with outsourcing services for banks and  credit
 unions continue to drive revenue growth at a strong pace as we leverage  our
 resources effectively  and  expand our customer base.  EFT support  activity
 volume increased  significantly  within our  current  customer base  due  to
 industry and customer demand.  Our  credit union customer base and  activity
 has shown  continued growth  with this  relatively  new offering  to  credit
 unions. Implementation services  revenue increased  due to  solid growth  in
 contracting activity for new license  implementations in prior quarters,  as
 well as merger conversions for our existing customers.

     Hardware Revenue                      Three Months Ended

     Hardware                           $  20,674      $  20,897       -1%
     Percentage of total revenue               15%            17%

 The Company has  entered into remarketing  agreements with several  hardware
 manufacturers under which  we sell computer  hardware, hardware  maintenance
 and related services to our customers.  Revenue related to hardware sales is
 recognized when the hardware is shipped to our customers.

 Hardware revenue decreased minimally primarily due to sales mix of  hardware
 delivered during the quarter.  There was an increase in the delivery of  IBM
 iSeries systems for the current quarter as compared to the same quarter last
 year.  Hardware revenue  in the prior  year's quarter was  17% of the  total
 revenue, while in the  current quarter it  is 15% of  the total revenue.  We
 expect this decrease  as a percentage  of total revenue  to continue as  the
 entire industry is  experiencing the impact  of rising equipment  processing
 power and decreasing equipment prices.

 BACKLOG

 Our backlog increased  11% at September  30, 2005 to  $205,800 ($63,400  in-
 house and $142,400 outsourcing) from $185,100 ($63,000 in-house and $122,100
 outsourcing) at September 30, 2004.  There was also a 3% increase from  June
 30, 2005, in which the backlog  was $199,100 ($64,000 in-house and  $135,100
 outsourcing).


 COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT

 Cost of license  represents the cost  of software from  third party  vendors
 through remarketing agreements.  These  costs are  recognized  when  license
 revenue  is  recognized.  Cost  of  support  and  service  represents  costs
 associated with conversion and  implementation efforts, ongoing support  for
 our in-house customers, operation  of our data  and item processing  centers
 providing  services  for  our  outsourced  customers,  ATM  and  debit  card
 processing services and direct operating costs.  These costs are  recognized
 as they are incurred.  Cost of hardware consists of the direct  and  related
 costs of purchasing the equipment from the manufacturers and delivery to our
 customers.  These costs are  recognized  at the  same  time as  the  related
 hardware revenue is recognized.  Ongoing operating costs to provide  support
 to our customers are recognized as they are incurred.

       Gross Profit Margin                     41%            41%


 Cost of license decreased for the current  quarter due to a decrease in  the
 sales and delivery  of third party  software, compared to  last year,  which
 resulted in an increase in the license gross profit margin.  Cost of support
 and service increased due to  additional headcount and depreciation  expense
 for new facilities and equipment as compared to last year.  Cost of hardware
 decreased due to a decrease in hardware sales and a change in product  sales
 mix during the current  period.  Hardware incentives  and  rebates  received
 from vendors fluctuate  quarterly and  annually due  to changing  thresholds
 established by the vendors.

 Gross margin on  license revenue increased  to 95% for  the current  quarter
 compared to 92% in  the same quarter last  year due to  a decrease in  third
 party software sales and the related costs, which the gross margins on third
 party software,  is significantly lower than our owned products.  The  gross
 profit increase in support  and service is due  to continued strong  revenue
 growth, with approximately 63%  of the support and  service revenue for  the
 current quarter being recurring.  In the first quarter of last fiscal  year,
 approximately  59%  of support  and  service  revenue  was recurring.  Gross
 margin  for  support  and  service  grew to 35% for  the current quarter due
 to  the continuation of company-wide  cost  control  measures  and  improved
 processes. Hardware gross margin  in the first quarter  of fiscal 2006  also
 increased from 24% to 26% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, primarily due
 to sales mix.

 Dedicated sales forces,  inside sales teams,  technical sales support  teams
 and channel partners conduct our sales efforts for our two market  segments,
 and  are  overseen by  regional sales  managers.  Our sales  executives  are
 responsible for pursuing lead generation activities for new core  customers.
 Our account executives nurture long-term relationships with our client  base
 and cross sell  our many complementary  products  and  services.  Our inside
 sales team is responsible  for marketing and sales of specific complementary
 products and services to our existing core customers.

 For the  three  months  ended September  30,  2005,  selling  and  marketing
 expenses increased  due to  additional  headcount, mostly  from  acquisition
 sales  teams,  plus  the  related  employee  costs.  Selling  and  marketing
 expense decreased slightly as a percentage  of sales to only 8% as  compared
 to 9% in the first quarter of last fiscal year.

     Research and Development              Three Months Ended

     Percentage of total revenue                5%             5%

 We devote significant effort  and expense to  develop new software,  service
 products  and  continually  upgrade  and  enhance  our  existing  offerings.
 Typically,  we  upgrade   all  of  our   core  and  complementary   software
 applications once per year.  We believe our research and development efforts
 are highly efficient because of the extensive experience of our research and
 development staff and  because our product  development is highly  customer-
 driven.

 Research and  development  expenses  increased  primarily  due  to  employee
 related costs  from  increased  headcount for  ongoing  development  of  new
 products and enhancements to  existing products, depreciation and  equipment
 maintenance  expense  for  upgrading  technology  equipment.   Research  and
 development expenses  increased  in the  initial  quarter  of 2006  by  10%;
 however they remained at 5% of total revenue for both years.

     Percentage of total revenue                6%             6%

 General and administrative expense increased  for the quarter primarily  due
 to increased employee costs and additional accounting and professional  fees
 compared to the same period last year.  Although general and  administrative
 expenses increased in the initial quarter of 2006 by 5%, they remained at 6%
 of total revenue for both years.

 INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE) - Net interest  income for the three months  ended
 September 30, 2005  reflects a decrease  of $188 when  compared to the  same
 period last year.  Interest income decreased  3% due to lower cash and  cash
 equivalent balances.  Interest expense increased $172, due to borrowings  on
 the revolving bank credit facility, which as of September 30, 2005 were paid
 in full.

 PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES - The provision for income taxes was $11,407  for
 the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared with $10,005 for the same
 period last year.  For the current fiscal year, the rate of income taxes  is
 currently estimated at 37.0% of income before income taxes compared to 37.5%
 as reported for the  same quarter in fiscal  2005, prior to adjustment.  The
 decrease reflects  changes  in  estimated  state  tax  rates  and  from  our
 reevaluation of changes in state tax  laws in relation to our tax  structure
 during fiscal 2005.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, an adjustment was
 made to the provision for income taxes  to adjust the effective tax rate  to
 37.0% for the entire year.

 NET INCOME - Net income increased  16% for the three months ended  September
 30, 2005.  Net income for  the first quarter of  fiscal 2006 was $19,422  or
 $0.21 per diluted share  compared to $16,674 or  $0.18 per diluted share  in
 the same period last year.

                                    --------       --------  ----------------
     Revenue                       $ 111,420      $  99,816        12%
     Gross Profit                  $  47,057      $  41,581        13%

     Gross Profit Margin                  42%            42%

 Revenue  growth  in  bank  systems  and  services  is  attributable  to  the
 significant increase in support and  service revenue related to  maintenance
 for in-house and outsourced customers, implementation services, and  ongoing
 steady increase in ATM and debit card processing activity.  License  revenue
 decreased slightly and  hardware increased slightly  primarily due to  sales
 mix and products delivered  during the quarter compared  to the prior  year.
 Bank segment gross profit increased from the prior year and the gross profit
 margin remained the same at 42%.

     Gross Profit Margin                  37%            37%

 Revenue in the credit union system  and services segment grew  substantially
 in the support and  service component directly  relating to maintenance  for
 in-house and  outsourced  customers,  and  ATM  and  debit  card  processing
 activity, which  continues  to expand  in  our credit  union  segment.  This
 increase in support and  services more than offset  the decrease in  license
 and hardware  revenue, which  license revenue  was impacted  by the  average
 value of software  systems and  a decrease  in the  number of  complementary
 products delivered during the quarter. The  decrease in hardware revenue  is
 due to sales mix and reduction in the amount of hardware shipped during  the
 quarter. Credit union  gross profit increased  from the prior  year and  the
 gross profit margin remained the same at 37%.


 FINANCIAL CONDITION

 Liquidity

 The Company's cash and  cash equivalents increased  to $55,558 at  September
 30, 2005, from $11,608 million at June 30, 2005 and decreased from  $119,845
 at September 30, 2004.  The increase in the cash balance from June 30,  2005
 is primarily due to collection of our June 2005 annual maintenance billings,
 offset by  the use  of cash  as outlined  below in  investing and  financing
 activities.

 Cash provided by operations increased to $107,907 for the three months ended
 September 30, 2005  as compared to  $87,675 for the  same period last  year.
 The $20,232 increase  in cash generated  from operations was  impacted by  a
 $2,748 increase in net income, an increase in depreciation and  amortization
 of $1,696, while the net combined increase of deferred income taxes, gain on
 disposal of  property and  equipment,  stock-based compensation,  and  other
 expenses totaled an additional $377. Primarily contributing to the  increase
 in operating cash flows  is the change in  operating assets and  liabilities
 which includes  a $26,397  change in  receivables, less  changes to  prepaid
 expenses, accounts  payable  and  accrued expenses  amounting  to  ($7,093),
 changes in accrued  income taxes equaled  ($33) and the  change in  deferred
 revenues  ($3,860).

 Cash used in investing activities for  the current quarter totaled  $11,974.
 The largest use of cash was for capital expenditures in the amount of $8,047
 for equipment  and  purchases of  internal  software, while  cash  used  for
 software development used $3,969.

 Financing activities used cash  of $51,983 during the current quarter.  Cash
 was used to repay  a revolving bank credit  facility of $45,000; $6,334  was
 used to purchase  treasury stock, while  $4,121 was used  to fund  dividends
 paid to stockholders.  Cash used was offset by $3,472 from the proceeds  for
 the issuance of  stock for stock  options exercised and  the sale of  common
 stock to the employee stock purchase plan.

 Capital Requirements and Resources

 The Company  generally  uses existing  resources  and funds  generated  from
 operations to meet its capital requirements.  Capital expenditures  totaling
 $8,047 and $12,487 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2005  and
 2004, respectively,  were  made for  additional equipment.  These  additions
 were funded from cash generated by  operations.  Total consolidated  capital
 expenditures for the Company are not  expected to exceed $50,000 for  fiscal
 year 2006.

 The Company renewed a bank credit line on March 22, 2005 which provides  for
 funding of up  to $8,000  and bears  interest at  the prime  rate (6.00%  at
 September 30, 2005).  The credit line expires March 22, 2006 and is  secured
 by $1,000 of investments.  At September 30, 2005, no amount was outstanding.

 An unsecured  revolving  bank credit  facility  allows borrowing  of  up  to
 $150,000, which may be increased by the  Company at any time prior to  April
 20, 2008 to $225,000.  The unsecured  revolving  bank credit facility  bears
 interest at a rate  equal to (a) LIBOR  or (b) an  alternate base rate  (the
 greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2% or (b) the Prime Rate), plus
 an applicable percentage in each case  determined by the Company's  leverage
 ratio.  The new unsecured  revolving credit line  terminates April 19, 2010.
 At June 30, 2005,  the revolving bank credit  facility balance was  $45,000.
 On August 8, 2005, the balance  of $45,000 was paid  in full.  At  September
 30, 2005, no amount was outstanding on the revolving bank credit facility.

 The Board of Directors  has authorized the Company  to repurchase shares  of
 its  common stock.  Under this authorization,  the Company  may finance  its
 share repurchases with available cash  reserves or short-term borrowings  on
 its existing credit facility.  The share repurchase program does not include
 specific price targets or timetables and may  be suspended  at any time.  At
 June 30, 2005, there were 553,300 shares remaining in treasury stock and the
 Company had the remaining  authority to repurchase  up to 4,437,316  shares.
 During the first  quarter of fiscal  2006, the  Company repurchased  337,200
 treasury shares for $6,334.  The total cost  of treasury shares at September
 30, 2005  is  $16,286.  At  September 30, 2005,  there  were 890,500  shares
 remaining in treasury stock and the Company had the authority to  repurchase
 up to 4,100,116 shares.

 Subsequent to September 30, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors  declared
 a cash dividend of $.045 per share  on its common stock payable on  December
 2, 2005, to stockholders of record on November 16, 2005.  Current funds from
 operations are adequate for this purpose.  The Board has indicated  that  it
 plans to  continue  paying dividends  as  long as  the  Company's  financial
 condition continues to be favorable.

 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, 2005.


 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,
 2005. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements.
 The Company  does  not  undertake  any obligation  to  publicly  update  any
 forward-looking statements.


 CONCLUSION

 The Company's results of operations and  its financial position continue  to
 be strong  with  increased earnings, increased  gross margin growth,  strong
 cash flow and no  debt as of and  for the three  months ended September  30,
 2005.  This reflects the continuing  attitude of cooperation and  commitment
 by  each  employee,  management's  ongoing  cost  control  efforts  and  our
 commitment to deliver top  quality products and services  to the markets  we
 serve.


 ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES 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

 An  evaluation  was  carried  out  under   the  supervision  and  with   the
 participation of  our management,  including our  Company's Chief  Executive
 Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the
 design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant  to
 Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15.  Based upon that evaluation  as of the
 end  of the period  covered  by this report,  the CEO and CFO concluded that
 our disclosure  controls  and  procedures  are  effective in timely alerting
 them  to material information relating  to  us (including  our  consolidated
 subsidiaries) required  to  be  included in our periodic SEC filings.  There
 was  no  change in the Company's  internal  control over financial reporting
 that  occurred  during  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  2005  that  has
 materially  affected,  or  is  reasonably  likely to materially affect,  the
 Company's internal control over financial reporting.  There  have  not  been
 any significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting  or
 in  other  factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent
 to the date of evaluation.

 ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

 2005  Non-Qualified  Stock  Option  Plan.   Proxies  for  the  meeting  were
