 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES FISCAL YEAR 2005 RESULTS IN 21% NET INCOME GROWTH
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Monett, MO. August 2, 2005 - Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY), a
 leading provider  of  integrated  technology  solutions  that  perform  data
 processing for financial institutions, today  reported  fiscal 2005 year end
 results with a 15% growth in revenue, an 18% increase in gross profit, and a
 21% increase in net income compared to fiscal 2004.

 For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the company generated total revenue  of
 $141.4 million compared to  $126.0 million in the  same quarter a year  ago.
 Gross profit increased  to $59.9 million  compared to $53.3  million in  the
 final quarter  of  last fiscal year.  Net income  totaled $21.7 million,  or
 $0.23 per diluted  share, compared to  $17.6 million, or  $0.19 per  diluted
 share in the fourth quarter a year ago.

 Fiscal year  2005 total  revenue increased  to  $535.9 million  compared  to
 $467.4 million in  total revenue for  fiscal  year 2004.  Gross profit  grew
 $34.5 million to $222.5 million in fiscal 2005 compared to $188.0 million in
 fiscal 2004.  Net income  for  the year increased  21% to  $75.5 million  or
 $0.81 per diluted  share, compared to  $62.3 million, or  $0.68 per  diluted
 share in fiscal 2004.

 "We are very pleased with the fiscal year just ended.  In addition to having
 an extremely  solid year  for contracting  new core  bank and  credit  union
 clients, we continued doing  a stellar job  cross selling our  complementary
 products and services  to our  existing core  clients,"  said  Jack F. Prim,
 CEO.  "The companies we  acquired during the year  that support our  focused
 diversification strategy also generated new market opportunities.  The best-
 of-breed solutions  these companies  provide can  be  sold to  our  existing
 clients, to financial services organizations outside our core customer base,
 and  selectively  sold  outside  the  financial  services  industry.   These
 companies and the products and services  that they provide continue to  gain
 momentum in terms of licensing and implementation backlog."

 Operating Results

 License revenue decreased 10%  to $19.7 million,  or 14% of  fourth  quarter
 total revenue, compared to  $21.9 million, or  17% of fourth  quarter  total
 revenue a  year ago.  This change  is primarily  due to  a decrease  in  the
 license revenue  in the  credit union  segment compared  to the  prior  year
 fourth quarter which was a  record quarter for that  segment.  This decrease
 was offset somewhat  by an  increase in the  bank  segment  license revenue.
 Support and  service revenue  increased 20%  to  $100.2  million, or  71% of
 total revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005,  from  $83.7 million, or
 66% of total revenue for the same period a year ago. There was  solid growth
 in every component in this line which includes installation,  ATM/debit card
 processing, outsourcing and in-house support revenues due to new  customers,
 additional implementations of complementary products and increased  volumes.
 Hardware sales in the fourth quarter  of fiscal 2005  increased  5% to $21.5
 million from $20.4 million in the final quarter of fiscal 2004.

 For fiscal year 2005, license revenue grew by $19.8 million with an increase
 of 32% to $82.4 million, or 15% of total revenue, compared to $62.6 million,
 or 13% of total revenue a  year ago.  Increase  in license revenues is  from
 all of the core  products related to new  core customers and migrations  and
 significant cross selling of many of our complementary products  to both new
 and existing  customers.  Support  and  service  revenue increased  17%  and
 contributed 68% to  total revenue, or  $364.1 million for  the  current year
 compared to $311.3 million,  or 67% of total  revenue for fiscal year  2004.
 The fourth  quarter described  above mirrors  the growth  in each  component
 within this line of revenue for  the entire fiscal year. Hardware sales  for
 fiscal 2005 decreased 4%  to $89.4 million, which  represented 17% of  total
 revenue, compared to $93.5 million, or 20% of total revenue for fiscal 2004.

 "Our support and service revenue continues  to show strong growth which  for
 the fourth quarter had a 20% increase and a 17% increase for the fiscal year
 compared  to  the prior  year  periods as  discussed  above.  Our  recurring
 revenue, which  consists of  our ATM  and  debit card  processing,  in-house
 support and outsourcing revenue,  represented 61% of  total revenue for  the
 quarter and 59% of total revenue for the 2005 fiscal year, while last fiscal
 year, it was 57% for both the fourth quarter and  fiscal 2004" said  Tony L.
 Wormington,  President.  "We  believe that  the  increase in  our  recurring
 revenue is directly attributable to the  quality of our products we  provide
 and the commitment of our employees to service our customers."

 Cost of sales for  the fourth quarter increased  12% from $72.7 million  for
 the three months ended June 30, 2004  to $81.6 million for the three  months
 ended June 30, 2005. This increase is primarily related to  employee-related
 expenses and depreciation and amortization.  Fourth quarter gross profit  in
 fiscal 2005 increased  12% to  $59.9 million  compared  to  $53.3 million in
 fiscal 2004;  both fourth quarters resulted in a 42% gross margin.

 Cost of sales  for fiscal year  2005 increased 12%,  to $313.4 million  from
 $279.4  million  for  fiscal  year  2004.  Increase  in  cost  of  sales for
 the  fiscal  year  is primarily related  to  employee-related  expenses  and
 depreciation and  amortization.  Gross profit for  the current  fiscal  year
 increased $34.5  million or  18% to  $222.5 million  producing a  42%  gross
 margin, compared to $188.0 million with  a 40% gross margin for fiscal  year
 2004.

 Gross margin  on license  revenue  for the  fourth  quarter of  fiscal  2005
 increased to 94% compared to 89% a year ago  for the same period due to  the
 mix of products.  Support and service  gross margin remained at 34% for  the
 fourth quarter  of fiscal  2005  and  fiscal 2004.  Hardware  gross  margins
 increased to 31% in the current fourth  quarter compared to 25% in the  same
 quarter last year, primarily due to sales mix and vendor rebates received in
 the fourth quarter.

 Gross margin  on  license revenue  for  fiscal  year 2005  improved  to  93%
 compared to 92% in  fiscal 2004 due to  decreased license revenue  delivered
 through reseller  agreements in  prior quarters  of this  year. Support  and
 service gross margin remained at 33% for both fiscal years.  Hardware  gross
 margins increased slightly for  the fiscal year to  29% compared to 28%  for
 fiscal 2004, primarily due to the sales mix of hardware and vendor rebates.

 For the  fourth quarter  of  2005, the  bank  systems and  services  segment
 revenue increased 14%  to $113.3 million,  with a gross  margin of 43%  from
 $99.6  million  in  revenue  with a gross margin of 41% in the final quarter
 in fiscal 2004.  The  credit union  systems  and  services  segment  revenue
 increased 6% to  $28.1 million with  a gross margin  of 41%  for the  fourth
 quarter of 2005 from revenue of $26.4 million  and a gross margin of 47%  in
 the same quarter a year ago.  The credit union systems and services  segment
 gross margin decreased  predominantly due  to a  decrease in  the amount  of
 software delivered  during the  prior year  fourth quarter  compared to  the
 fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.

 For the twelve  months ended June  30, 2005, the  bank systems and  services
 segment revenue increased 12% to $428.7 million, with a gross margin of  42%
 from $382.1 million with a gross margin of 40% a year ago.  The credit union
 systems and services  segment revenue increased  26% to  $107.2 million  for
 fiscal year 2005, with a gross margin of 38% from $85.3 million with a gross
 margin of 39% for the fiscal year 2004.

 Operating expenses increased 8% to $26.0  million for the fourth quarter  of
 fiscal 2005  compared to  $24.1 million  for  the same  quarter a  year  ago
 primarily due to increased employee-related expenses.  Selling and marketing
 expenses rose 23% in  the fourth quarter  to $12.4 million,  or 9% of  total
 revenue, from $10.0 million,  or  8% of total revenue  a year ago.  Research
 and development  expenses increased  15%  to $7.0  million  or 5%  of  total
 revenue  for  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal 2005, from $6.1 million, also
 5%  of  total revenue for  the same quarter  of  fiscal  2004.  General  and
 administrative costs decreased 18% to $6.6 million, or 5% of revenue, in the
 fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, from $8.0 million, or 6% of revenue  for
 the same quarter a year ago primarily due  to loss on assets disposed of  in
 the prior year.

 Operating expenses increased 16% to $103.4 million for fiscal 2005  compared
 to $89.2 million for  fiscal 2004 mainly  due to increased  employee-related
 expenses.  Selling and marketing expenses  rose 30% for the current year  to
 $46.6 million, or 9% of  total revenue, from $36.0  million, or 8% of  total
 revenue.  Research and development expenses  increased 17% to $27.7  million
 from $23.7 million, while remaining at  5% of total revenue for both  fiscal
 years.  General and administrative costs  decreased 2% to $29.1 million,  or
 5% of fiscal 2005 revenue  compared to $29.5 million,  or 6% of fiscal  2004
 revenue. "We continue to  leverage our resources which  is indicated by  our
 continued gross  and  operating margin  improvement  over the  prior  year,"
 stated  Kevin  D. Williams,  CFO.  "We  believe  there  is  opportunity  for
 continued improvement, especially in the areas of the acquired companies  as
 they gain additional market share and  expand their customer base, from  our
 newly  developed  products  and  continued  cross-selling  of  complementary
 offerings to our customers."

 Operating income grew 16% to $33.9  million, or 24% of fourth quarter  total
 revenue, compared to $29.2  million, or 23% of  total revenue in the  fourth
 quarter of fiscal 2004. Fourth quarter net income totaled $21.7 million,  or
 $0.23 per diluted  share, compared to  $17.6 million, or  $0.19 per  diluted
 share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

 Fiscal 2005 operating  income increased  21% to  $119.1 million,  or 22%  of
 total revenue, compared to $98.8 million, or 21% of total revenue in  fiscal
 2004.  Provision  for income taxes  was decreased in  the fourth quarter  to
 adjust the  annual rate  to 37.0%  from 37.5%  for the  fiscal year  due  to
 changes in  the  effective  state tax  provision.  Year-to-date  net  income
 totaled $75.5  million,  or  $0.81 per  diluted  share,  compared  to  $62.3
 million, or $0.68 per diluted share in the prior year.

 Cash Flow, Balance Sheet and Backlog Review

 Cash, cash equivalents, and investments decreased  to $12.6 million at  June
 30, 2005 from $54.8 million at June  30, 2004 primarily due to amounts  paid
 for acquisitions during the year. Trade receivables increased $40.5  million
 to $210.4 million compared to  a year ago primarily  due to the increase  in
 annual maintenance billings for newly installed core customers and  products
 compared to  a  year  ago and  normal  growth  in monthly  billings  due  to
 increased customers and volume of transactions processed.

 Deferred revenue increased $26.4  million or 18% to  $171.4 million at  June
 30, 2005 compared to $145.0 million at June 30, 2004.  Stockholders'  equity
 grew 17% to $517.2 million at June 30, 2005 from $442.9 million at June  30,
 2004.

 Cash flow from operations decreased to  $108.3 million for fiscal year  2005
 from $112.8 million for fiscal year 2004.  The decrease  of $4.5 million  in
 net cash from operating activities consists primarily of an increase in  net
 income of  $13.2  million,  an increase  in  depreciation  and  amortization
 expense of $5.4  million, plus / (minus)  changes  in  trade receivables  of
 ($17.6) million, prepaid  expenses of ($8.7)  million, accounts payable  and
 accrued expenses  of  $5.5  million, income  taxes  of  ($7.6)  million  and
 deferred revenues of $6.7 million.

 Fiscal year  2005 net  cash used  in  investing activities  includes  $119.5
 million for  acquisitions,  capital  expenditures of  $58.0  million,  which
 includes $12.9  million for  an additional  facility purchased  on June  30,
 2005, and capitalized software  development of $7.8 million  for a total  of
 $185.1 million.  In fiscal year 2004, net cash used in investing  activities
 was $100.0 million and mainly consisted  of $48.3 million for  acquisitions,
 $49.1 million  in  capital expenditures  and  $4.4 million  for  capitalized
 software development.

 Net cash from financing activities totaled $34.6 million for fiscal 2005 and
 includes proceeds of $15.1  million from the exercise  of stock options  and
 sale of common  stock, proceeds  from a short  term note  of $45.0  million,
 offset by dividends paid of $15.5 million and the purchase of treasury stock
 of $10.0 million. On  April 29, 2005, the  Board of Directors authorized  an
 increase to the existing stock repurchase  plan to a total authorization  of
 5.0 million shares.  For fiscal 2004, net cash from financing activities was
 $9.0 million and mainly consisted of the proceeds from the exercise of stock
 options and sale of common stock of $22.4 million, offset by dividends  paid
 of $13.4 million.

 Backlog, which is a measure of future business and revenue, increased 4%  at
 June 2005 from June 2004 and remained almost even from  March 2005.  Backlog
 at June  30, 2005  was $199.1  million ($64.0  million in-house  and  $135.1
 million outsourcing).  Backlog at June  30, 2004, was $191.3 million  ($67.2
 million in-house and $124.1 million outsourcing) and at March 31, 2005,  was
 $198.2 million ($67.1 million in-house and $131.1 million outsourcing).
