BDS is a provider of a variety of service bureau options to community banks, primarily in southern California. Systems are AS/400 based and are already using the JKHY core application system. This acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. 4. Earnings Per Share Information Per share information is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the nine month period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. Stock options have been included in the calculation of earnings per share to the extent they are dilutive. Reconciliation from basic to diluted weighted average shares outstanding is the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. 5. Stock Dividend On January 31, 2000, the Company s Board of Directors declared a 100% stock dividend on its common stock, effectively a 2 for 1 stock split. The stock dividend was paid March 2, 2000 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 17, 2000. The shares presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31 and June 30, 1999, and the number of shares used in the computation of earnings per share in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, were based on the number of shares outstanding after giving effect to the stock split. Item 2. - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Background and Overview The Company is a leading provider of integrated computer systems and ATM networking products that perform data processing (available for in-house or service bureau installations) for banks and credit unions. The Company was founded in 1976. Its developed proprietary applications software, which operates on IBM computers, is offered under two systems: CIF 20/20 , typically for banks with less than $300 million in assets, and the Silverlake2 System , for banks with assets up to $10 billion. Its acquired proprietary application s software, which operates in the UNIX and NT client server environment, operates on various hardware applications. JHA frequently sells hardware with its software products. It also provides customer support and related services. The Company's software systems and products have been installed at over 2625 banks and credit unions. Year 2000 The Company established a Year 2000 (Y2K) Committee in 1997. This Committee prepared a documented, systematic approach (the Y2K Plan) to review all products and internal systems for Y2K compliance. The Company s Board of Directors reviewed and approved the Y2K Plan as required by the banking regulators of all service bureau providers. The Company had completed its assessment of its proprietary, mission critical and non-mission critical systems and tested (including customer testing) for Y2K compliance prior to December 31,1999. The Company passed the established milestones with no major issues pertaining to date changes and does not anticipate any in the future. Although the Company does not maintain accounting records that separately identify all of the costs associated with its Y2K activities, it is estimated that the total cost was not material to the Company s financial statements. A detailed discussion of the major components of the results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same periods in the previous year follows. Revenues Revenues increased 28% to $56,406,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Software licensing and installation revenues increased 36%. Maintenance, support and service revenues increased 35% due to increased service bureau fees, in-house maintenance fees and ATM switching fees. Hardware sales increased 14% from last years quarter. Nine month revenues this year were $150,239,000, up 7% from last year's corresponding period. Software licensing and installation decreased 1%. Maintenance, support and service revenues increased 34%. Hardware sales were down 15% from last year due to the significant decrease in the first quarter ended September 30, 1999. OSG contributed $15,991,000 in total revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2000. 1 CIF 20/20 is a trademark of Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. 2 Silverlake System is a registered trademark of Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. The backlog of sales at March 31, 2000, was $91,168,000 ($32,669,000 in-house and $58,499,000 outsourcing). This is up slightly from the June 30, 1999 level, and is consistent with management s expectations for the third quarter. Backlog at April 30, 2000 was $89,276,000. Cost of Sales Cost of sales increased 24% in the third quarter ended March 31, 2000. Cost of hardware increased 9%, slightly less than the 14% increase in hardware revenue. Cost of services increased 35% primarily due to the OSG acquisition and maintaining resources for the growth expected in the Company s core business. The increase in cost of services mirrors the 35% increase in non- hardware revenues. Cost of sales increased 12% for the first nine months of fiscal year 2000, compared to a 7% increase in revenues. Cost of hardware decreased 16%, which is consistent with the 15% decrease in hardware revenue. Cost of services increased 39% compared to the 20% increase in non-hardware revenues, primarily due to the OSG acquisition and continued growth. Gross Profit Gross profit increased to $26,960,000 in the third quarter ended March 31, 2000, a 34% increase from last year. The gross margin percentage was 48% of sales compared to 46% last year. The increase is primarily due to change in sales mix as software licensing (higher margin sales) increased significantly due to financial institutions acquiring system upgrades after the curtailment created by the turn of the century. The nine month gross profit this year was up 1% at $64,785,000. The gross margin percentage for the first nine months was 43% of sales, down from last year s rate of 46%, primarily due to changes in sales mix. Operating Expenses Total operating expenses increased 43% in the quarter compared to last year s period. Selling expenses increased 34% which mirrors the increase in software licensing and installation revenues, while research and development expenses increased 80% primarily due to the acquisition of OSG and the continued development and refinement of new and existing products. General and administrative expenses increased 38%, supporting the overall growth of the Company and acquisitions. Total operating expenses increased 16% in the nine months ended March 31, 2000. Selling expenses increased 11%, research and development increased 54% and general and administrative expenses increased 8% compared to the same period last year. Other Income and Expense Other income (expense) for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 reflects a decrease when compared to same period last year. This is primarily due to interest expense this year on short-term borrowings, compared to interest income last year from cash investments. Other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 reflects a 27% decrease. The $1,105,000 gain on sale of stock acquired in the Peerless acquisition in the first quarter ended September 30, 1999, offsets the majority of the increase in interest expense of $1,061,000, and the decrease in interest income of $705,000 from cash investments compared to the prior year. Net Income Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $10,121,000, or $.24 per diluted share, an increase of 22%, compared to $8,267,000, or $.20 per diluted share in the same period last year. Net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 was $22,920,000, or $.55 per diluted share (down 5%), compared to $24,157,000, or $.57 per diluted share during the same period last year. Discontinued Operations The Company incurred a $332,000 loss from discontinued operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and the nine months ended March 31, 2000. Due to the sale of the BankVision subsidiary on September 7, 1999, there was no impact on the quarter ended March 31, 2000. FINANCIAL CONDITION Liquidity The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased to $12,976,000 at March 31, 2000, from $3,185,000 at June 30, 1999. This reflects the seasonal influx of cash due to the receipt of the Peerless and OSG annual maintenance fees billed December 31, 1999. The influx of all other annual maintenance fees billed June 30, 1999 were offset by the $25,000,000 cash from operations used in OSG s acquisition of BancTec, Inc s community banking business. JHA has available credit lines totaling $18,500,000, although the Company expects additional borrowings to be minimal during fiscal Year 2000. The Company currently has short-term obligations for $29,500,000 to a commercial lender, which provides for advances of up to $40,000,000, bears interest at variable LIBOR-Based Rates (6.53% at March 31, 2000) and is due September 7, 2000. Capital Requirements and Resources JHA generally uses existing resources and funds generated from operations to meet its capital requirements. Capital expenditures totaling $18,688,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2000, were made for expansion of facilities and additional equipment. These were funded from cash generated by operations and additional short-term borrowing. Cash acquisition costs totaling $50,661,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2000, for the purchase of BancTec, Inc s. community banking services, were funded with $25,661,000 from operations and $25,000,000 from short-term borrowings. The consolidated capital expenditures of JHA excluding acquisition costs could exceed $30,000,000 for fiscal Year 2000. The Company paid a $.05 per share cash dividend on March 2, 2000 to stockholders of record February 16, 2000 which was funded from operations. In addition, the Company s Board of Directors, subsequent to March 31, 2000, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.05 per share on its common stock payable May 19, 2000 to stockholders of record on May 4, 2000. This will be funded from operations. CONCLUSION JHA's results of operations and its financial position continued to be favorable during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, notwithstanding the unusual market conditions of financial institutions curtailing system upgrades created by the turn of the century. 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.
