"Company") is a computer software company which has developed several banking
software systems.  The Company markets these systems to financial institutions
in the United States along with the computer equipment (hardware), and provides
the conversion and software customization services necessary for a financial
institution to install a JHA software system.  It also provides continuing
support and maintenance services to customers using the system.  The Company
also processes ATM transactions for financial institutions in the U.S.  All of
these related activities are considered a single business segment.

  Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
JHA and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

  Comprehensive Income - Comprehensive income for each of the three-month
periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, approximates the Company s net
income.

  Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In March, 1998, the Accounting Standards
Executive Committee of Public Accountants ( AcSEC ) issued Statement of Position
( SOP ) 98-4,  Deferral of the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2,
Software Recognition , which deferred portions of SOP 97-2 for one year.  The
Company adopted SOP 98-4 effective July 1, 1999.

  Restatement - The financial statements for the period ended September 30, 1998
have been restated to include Peerless Group, Inc. ( Peerless ) which was
acquired on December 16, 1998.  The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling
of interests and therefore all periods have been adjusted to reflect the
acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period
reported.

  Reclassification - Where appropriate, prior year s financial information has
been reclassified to conform with the current year s presentation.  The
statements of cash flows are prepared using the indirect method, which
represents a reclassification of the prior year s presentation using the direct
method.

  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, 1999.



2.  Interim Financial Statements

  The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applicable to interim financial statements, and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  The 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, 1999.

  In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying condensed
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, 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three month period then ended.

  The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

3.  Additional Interim Footnote Information

  The following additional information is provided to update the notes to the
Company's annual financial statements for developments during the three months
ended September 30, 1999:

  Discontinued Operations - On September 7, 1999, the Company completed the sale
of its BankVision subsidiary for $1,000,000.  Under the terms of the sale, the
purchaser, made a $500,000 down payment and executed promissory notes to pay
$250,000 (plus interest) in each of the next two years.  The loss from
discontinued operations of $332,000 reported during the quarter reflect
operating losses and loss related to the sale.

  Purchase Acquisition and Short Term Borrowings - On September 8, 1999, the
Company completed the acquisition of BancTec, Inc s community banking business.
The assets were acquired and the liabilities assumed by Open Systems Group
( OSG ), a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  OSG provides
software, account processing capabilities and data center operations to over 800
community banks in the United States and the Caribbean.

  The aggregate purchase price was approximately $58,241,000 including
$50,000,000 in cash, $8,000,000 in assumed liabilities and transaction costs of
approximately $241,000.  The cash portion of the purchase price was provided by
$25,000,000 from operations, and $25,000,000 in proceeds from a line of credit
with a commercial lender.  The line of credit provides for advances of up to
$40,000,000, bears interest at variable LIBOR-Based Rates (6.0% at September 30,
1999) and is due September 7, 2000.

  The purchase price was preliminary allocated to the assets and liabilities
acquired based on their estimated fair value at the acquisition date, pending
final determination of certain acquired balances.  The preliminary allocation
has resulted in acquired goodwill of approximately $45,112,000, which is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.

  The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income do not
include any revenues and expenses related to this acquisition prior to the
respective closing date.


4.  Income Per Share Information

  Per share information is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the three month period ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.  Stock
options have been included in the calculation of income 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.   1996 Stock Option Plan

  On October 29, 1999, the stockholders  voted to increase the number of shares
available for issuance under the 1996 Stock Option Plan by an aggregate of
1,000,000 shares, to a total of 3,250,000 shares.


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 Silverlake
System   , for banks with assets up to $10 billion.  Its acquired proprietary
applications software, which operates in the UNIX and NT client-server
environment, operates on various hardware platforms.  JHA frequently sells
hardware with its software products.  It also provides continuing maintenance
and support services to customers using the system.  The Company's software
systems have been installed at over 2,600 banks and credit unions.



                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 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 has completed its assessment of  its
proprietary, mission critical and non-mission critical systems and tested
(including customer testing) for Y2K compliance.  The Company believes the
products it currently sells and its internal systems are Y2K complaint.
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 has not and will not be material to the Company s financial
statements.

A detailed discussion of the major components of the results of operations for
the quarter ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in the
previous year follows:

Revenues

  Revenues decreased 14% to $42,365,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
Software licensing and installation decreased 12%.   Maintenance, support and
service revenues increased 32%.  Hardware sales decreased 48% from last year's
quarter.  Software licensing and hardware sales declined as financial
institutions curtailed system upgrades awaiting the turn of the century.

  The backlog of sales at September 30, 1999 was $82,727,000.  This is down
sightly from the June 30, 1999 level, and is consistent with management's
expectations for the first quarter.  Backlog at October 29, 1999 was
$83,479,000.

Cost of Sales

  The 18% decrease in cost of sales for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2000 is
relatively consistent with the decrease in revenues.  Cost of hardware decreased
51% while cost of services increased 24%, both relatively consistent with the
changes in the related revenue.

Gross Profit

  Gross profit decreased to $20,183,000 in the first quarter ended September 30,
1999, a 9% decrease from last year.  The gross margin percentage was 48% of
sales compared to 45% last year due to hardware (lower margin sales)
representing 25% of total revenues compared to 42% last year.

Operating Expenses

  Total operating expenses increased 2%, reflecting small increases related to
acquisitions and overall growth.  Selling expenses decreased 18% which is
consistent with decrease in revenues.  Research & development increased 30%,
which was directly related to continued development and refinement of new and
existing products.  General & administrative expenses increased 16%, supporting
the overall growth of the Company and acquisitions.


Other Income and Expense

  Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 reflects an increase
when compared to the same period last year due primarily to the $1,105,000 gain
on sale of stock acquired in the Peerless acquisition.

Provision for Income Taxes

  The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1999, as
compared to the same period in the prior year, reflects the effect of a capital
gain partially offset by a capital loss generated by the sale of BankVision, and
other federal and state tax benefits generated from the sale and various other
activities

Net Income

  Net income from continuing operations for the first quarter was $8,802,000, or
$.42 earnings per share compared to $8,769,000, or $.42 earnings per share in
the same period last year.

Discontinued Operations

  The Company incurred a $332,000 loss from discontinued operations compared to
$24,000 income in the same period last year.  Due to the sale of this subsidiary
on September 7, 1999, no future income or loss is anticipated.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity

  The Company's cash and cash equivalents and investments decreased to
$2,408,000 at September 30, 1999, from $3,185,000 at June 30, 1999.  This
reflects the seasonal influx of cash due to the receipt of annual maintenance
fees billed June 30, 1999, 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 $23,000,000, although the Company
expects additional borrowings to be minimal during Fiscal Year 2000.  The
Company currently has short-term obligations for $25,000,000 to a commercial
lender, which provides for advances of up to $40,000,000, bears interest at
variable LIBOR-Based Rates (6.0% at September 30, 1999) 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 $4,862,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999, were made for expansion of facilities and
additional equipment.  These were funded from cash generated by operations.
Cash acquisition costs totaling $50,241,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1999, for the purchase of OSG, were funded with $25,241,000 from operations and
$25,000,000 from short-term borrowings.  The consolidated capital expenditures
of JHA excluding acquisition costs could exceed $25,000,000 for Fiscal Year
2000.

  The Company paid an $.08 per share cash dividend on September 23, 1999 to
stockholders of record September 7, 1999 which was funded from operations.   In
addition, the Company's Board of Directors, subsequent to September 30, 1999,
declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.08 per share on its common stock payable
December 9, 1999 to stockholders of record on November 18, 1999.  This will be
funded out by operations.


CONCLUSION

  JHA's results of operations and its financial position continued to be
favorable during the quarter ended September 30, 1999, notwithstanding the
unusual market conditions 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.
