      JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES FISCAL YEAR ENDS WITH 19 PERCENT INCREASE
      -----------------------------------------------------------------
                                IN NET INCOME
                                -------------

 Monett, MO. August 22, 2006 - Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq:  JKHY),
 a leading provider  of integrated technology  solutions and outsourced  data
 processing for financial institutions, today announced fiscal 2006  results.
 Total revenue increased 11 percent over prior fiscal year to $592.2 million,
 gross profit grew 15 percent to $256.4 million, and net income increased  to
 $89.9 million or 19 percent over the prior fiscal year.

 For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the company generated total revenue  of
 $162.3 million compared to  $141.4 million in the  same quarter a year  ago.
 Gross profit increased  to $70.7 million  compared to $59.9  million in  the
 fourth quarter of last  fiscal year.  Net  income totaled $25.4 million,  or
 $0.27 per diluted  share, compared to  $21.7 million,  or $0.23 per  diluted
 share in the same quarter a year ago.

 In fiscal 2006, total revenue was $592.2 million compared to $535.9  million
 in fiscal 2005.  Gross profit increased to $256.4 million compared to $222.5
 million during last fiscal year.  Net income for the current year was  $89.9
 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to $75.5 million, or $0.81 per
 diluted share for the prior year.

 According to Jack Prim, CEO, "We are pleased to announce record revenues and
 net income for  the quarter  and year.  Our  revenue  growth  of 15% in  the
 quarter  was  primarily  organic,  led by  core  system  sales  to  mid-tier
 financial institutions, and  by strong  continued growth  in our  electronic
 processing services  including  ATM/Debit  Card,  bill  payment  and  remote
 deposit.  Our  performance  for  the  year was  solid  with  11%  growth  in
 revenues.  Our manager's strong focus on the business enabled us to leverage
 that revenue growth into a 19% increase in net income and EPS.  At the  same
 time our employees continued  focus on our customers  allowed us to  further
 improve on our industry leading customer satisfaction ratings."


      Operating Results

 "We continue to experience  strong demand for our  products and services  in
 both of our  banking and credit  union segments. Also,  we are  experiencing
 continued increasing demand for the products marketed under our  ProfitStars
 brand to non-core customers, which are contributing to both our revenue  and
 earnings  growth,"  stated  Tony Wormington,  President.  "We  believe  this
 demand is a direct  result of our continued  focus on  our primary strengths
 which   are  first  providing  our  customers  with  powerful  and  flexible
 technology either through  a best-of-suite  approach  or individual best-of-
 breed point products,  and secondly  our fundamental  commitment to  provide
 each of our clients with outstanding service. "

 License revenue for the fourth quarter  was $25.7 million, or 16 percent  of
 fourth quarter total revenue,  compared to $19.7 million,  or 14 percent  of
 the fourth quarter total  revenue a year ago.  Support  and  service revenue
 increased 13 percent to  $113.7 million, or 70  percent of total revenue  in
 fourth quarter of fiscal  2006 from $100.2 million,  or 71 percent of  total
 revenue for the same period a year ago.  The increase in support and service
 revenue was mainly due to the  continued quarter over quarter growth in  our
 electronic transactions processing,  outsourcing and  our in-house  support.
 The only component of this line of revenue that had a small decrease in  the
 fourth quarter compared to the prior year was implementation services, which
 were down primarily due to the timing of implementations during the  quarter
 compared to the prior year. Hardware  sales in the fourth quarter of  fiscal
 2006 increased 7 percent to $22.9  million, or 14 percent of total  revenue,
 from $21.5 million, or 15 percent of total revenue in the fourth quarter  of
 last fiscal year.

 For the fiscal year 2006, license revenue increased to $84.0 million, or  14
 percent of total revenue, compared to $82.4 million, or 15 percent of  total
 revenue a year ago.  Support  and service revenue contributed 72 percent  of
 total revenue or $425.7 million of the total revenue for the current  fiscal
 year, compared to  $364.1 million, or  68 percent of  total revenue for  the
 prior fiscal year.  The  increase in support and  service revenue is due  to
 solid increases in every component of this revenue line for the fiscal  year
 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005.  Hardware sales for the fiscal year  were
 $82.5 million  compared to  $89.4 million  for the  same period  last  year.
 Hardware revenue was 14 percent of total revenue for fiscal 2006 compared to
 17 percent of revenue in fiscal 2005.

 Cost of sales for the fourth  quarter increased to $91.6 million from  $81.6
 million for the fourth quarter in  fiscal 2005. Fourth quarter gross  profit
 increased 18  percent to  $70.7  million with  a  44 percent  gross  margin,
 compared to $59.9 million and a 42 percent gross margin for the same  period
 a year ago.

 Cost of sales  for fiscal year  2006 increased 7  percent to $335.8  million
 from $313.4 million  for fiscal  year  2005.  Gross profit  for fiscal  2006
 increased 15  percent to  $256.4  million with  a  43 percent  gross  margin
 compared to $222.5 million with a 42 percent gross margin for fiscal 2005.

 Gross margin on license revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 was 98
 percent compared  to 94  percent a  year ago  for  the  same  period.  Gross
 margins on license revenue for fiscal  2006 and fiscal 2005 were 97  percent
 and 93 percent,  respectively.  Increase  in this gross  margin is  directly
 attributable to the sales mix of third party products delivered.

 Support and  service gross  margin increased  to 35  percent in  the  fourth
 quarter of fiscal 2006 from  34 percent in the  fourth quarter of the  prior
 year.  Support and  service gross margin increased  to 36 percent in  fiscal
 2006 from 33 percent for fiscal 2005. Support and service gross margins have
 improved due to the continued increase in electronic processing transactions
 and process improvements  primarily in  the credit  union segment.  Hardware
 gross margins were lower for the fourth quarter at 25 percent compared to 31
 percent for  the same  quarter last  year.  The hardware  gross  margin  for
 fiscal year  2006 was  27 percent,  while fiscal  year 2005  hardware  gross
 margin was 29 percent, primarily due to sales mix along with reduced  vendor
 rebates received on hardware sold during the current year.

 Operating expenses increased 18 percent in the final quarter of fiscal  2006
 compared to  the  same  quarter  a  year  ago  primarily  due  to  increased
 commissions related  to  license  revenue, employee  related  expenses  from
 increased headcount and depreciation expense. Selling and marketing expenses
 rose 13 percent in the  current year fourth quarter  to $14.0 million, or  9
 percent of total revenue, from $12.4  million, also 9 percent of prior  year
 fourth quarter  revenue.  Research  and  development expenses  increased  23
 percent to $8.7 million from $7.0 million,  while remaining at 5 percent  of
 total revenue for the fourth quarters in fiscal 2006 and 2005.  General  and
 administrative costs increased 22 percent in the current year fourth quarter
 to $8.0 million from $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.  The
 fourth quarter in both fiscal years remained at 5 percent of revenue.

 Operating expenses increased 13 percent for  the 2006 fiscal year to  $117.1
 million from  $103.4 million  for fiscal  2005,  primarily due  to  employee
 related  expenses  from  increased  headcount,  depreciation  expense,   and
 acquisitions. Selling and marketing expenses rose 7 percent for the  current
 year to $50.0 million, or 8 percent of total revenue from $46.6 million or 9
 percent of total revenue compared to  a year ago.  Research and  development
 expenses increased 15  percent to $31.9  million from  $27.7 million,  while
 remaining at 5 percent of total revenue for both fiscal years.  General  and
 administrative costs increased 21 percent to  $35.2 million or 6 percent  of
 revenue for the  current fiscal  year from $29.1  million, or  5 percent  of
 revenue for 2005 fiscal year.

 Operating income increased  18 percent to  $40.0 million, or  25 percent  of
 fourth quarter revenue, compared to $33.9 million, or 24 percent of  revenue
 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.  Operating income increased 17 percent
 to $139.4 million, or 24 percent of 2006 fiscal revenue, compared to  $119.1
 million, or 22 percent of revenue in fiscal 2005.

 Provision for  income  taxes increased  21  percent in  the  current  fourth
 quarter compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2005.  Provision  for  income
 taxes for the current fiscal year  increased 13 percent and is 35.8  percent
 of income before income taxes compared to 37 percent of income before income
 taxes for  fiscal  2005.  The  effective  tax rate  change  is  due  to  the
 manufacturing deduction and the reevaluation  of effective state tax  rates.
 Fourth quarter net income totaled $25.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share,
 compared to $21.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share in the fourth  quarter
 of fiscal 2005.  Fiscal  year 2006 net  income  totaled  $89.9  million,  or
 $0.96 per diluted  share, compared to  $75.5 million, or  $0.81 per  diluted
 share in the prior year.

 According to Kevin Williams,  CFO, "The net results  of the quarter and  the
 year were in-line  with our  expectations. We  received an  increase in  net
 income from the  change in the  effective tax rate  during our third  fiscal
 quarter which had a positive impact on the fiscal year; however the tax rate
 increased slightly in the  fourth quarter due to  the expiration of the  R&D
 credit in December  2005, which  has not been  reinstated  yet.  Our  future
 effective tax rate  will be  dependent somewhat  on whether  this credit  is
 reinstated and if it is retro-active to the beginning of the calendar  year,
 we should have another  reduction in our effective  tax rate in the  quarter
 that it is approved."

 For the  fourth quarter  of  2006, the  bank  systems and  services  segment
 revenue increased 18 percent  to $133.6 million, with  a gross margin of  45
 percent from $113.3 million  and a gross  margin of 43  percent in the  same
 quarter a year ago.  The  credit union systems and services segment  revenue
 increased 2 percent to $28.7 million with  a gross margin of 37 percent  for
 the fourth quarter  of 2006  from $28.1  million and  a gross  margin of  41
 percent in the same period a year ago.

 In fiscal year 2006, the bank systems and services segment revenue increased
 13 percent to $482.9 million, with a gross margin of 44 percent from  $428.7
 million and a  gross margin  of 42 percent  a year  ago.  The  credit  union
 systems and services segment revenue increased  2 percent to $109.3  million
 for the fiscal 2006 year,  from $107.2 million in  fiscal 2005.  Both  years
 ended with a gross margin of 38 percent.
