 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


 Board of Trustees
 Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.
 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan

 We have  audited the  accompanying statements  of net  assets available  for
 benefits of Jack  Henry & Associates,  Inc. 401(k)  Retirement Savings  Plan
 (formerly Jack  Henry &  Associates, Inc.  401(k) Employee  Stock  Ownership
 Plan) (the  "Plan")  as  of December  31,  2002  and 2001  and  the  related
 statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
 December 31, 2002.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
 Plan's management.  Our responsibility  is to  express an  opinion on  these
 financial statements based on our audits.

 We conducted  our audits  in accordance  with auditing  standards  generally
 accepted in the United  States of America. Those  standards require that  we
 plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether  the
 financial statements are  free of material  misstatement. An audit  includes
 examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and  disclosures
 in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
 principles used and  significant estimates made  by management,  as well  as
 evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 In our opinion,  the financial statements  present fairly,  in all  material
 respects, the net assets available for benefits of Jack Henry &  Associates,
 Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings  Plan as of December 31,  2002 and 2001,  and
 the changes in  its net  assets available for  benefits for  the year  ended
 December  31,  2002  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally
 accepted in the United States of America.

 As discussed  in  Note  1,  the  financial  statements  reflect  the  Plan's
 restructuring which was effective July 1, 2002.

 Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
 financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.  The  supplemental  schedule  is
 presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required  part
 of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information  required
 by the  Department  of  Labor's Rules  and  Regulations  for  Reporting  and
 Disclosure under the Employee  Retirement Income Security  Act of 1974.  The
 supplemental schedule is  the responsibility of  the Plan's management.  The
 supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures  applied
 in our audit of the basic 2002 financial statements and, in our opinion,  is
 fairly stated in all  material respects in relation  to the basic  financial
 statements taken as a whole.

 JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES, INC. 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

 STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN)


 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The  following  description of  Jack  Henry  &  Associates,  Inc.  401(k)
    Retirement Savings Plan  (formerly Jack Henry  & Associates, Inc.  401(k)
    Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan)  (the  "Plan")  provides  only  general
    information. Participants should refer  to the Plan Agreement for a  more
    complete description of the Plan's provisions.

    During June 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved an action  to
    separate  the  Jack  Henry  &  Associates,  Inc.  401(k)  Employee  Stock
    Ownership  Plan  (the  "  Predecessor  Plan")  into  the  Jack  Henry   &
    Associates, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP Plan") and  the
    Jack  Henry  & Associates,  Inc.  401(k)  Retirement  Savings  Plan  (the
    "Plan"). The  separation of  the plans was  effective July  1, 2002.  The
    Plan's financial statements are presented on a "carryover basis" so  that
    historical activity  through June  30, 2002  of the  Predecessor Plan  is
    presented. Prior  to the  separation, the  ESOP Plan  and the  Plan  were
    under the same trustee, recordkeeper,  and filed a combined Form 5500  to
    the IRS. The  transfer out recorded  in the statement  of changes in  net
    assets available for plan benefits reflects the value of the ESOP  Plan's
    net assets at  the time of  the separation. The  statement of changes  in
    net assets  available for plan  benefits has been  segregated to  reflect
    activity prior  to  and subsequent  to  the restructuring  primarily  for
    purposes of reconciling to each new plan's Form 5500.

    General - The Plan is a  defined contribution, 401(k)  plan covering  all
    full-time employees of  Jack Henry & Associates,  Inc. (the "Company"  or
    "JKHY") who have at  least six months (one year  in 1998) of service  and
    have attained the age  of 18. The Company  is the Plan Administrator  and
    has appointed a trustee  to hold and invest  Plan assets.  In April 2002,
    the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  appointed  Diversified   Investment
    Advisors as the Plan administrator  and Investor's Bank and Trust as  the
    Plan trustee effective July 1, 2002. The Plan is subject to the  Employee
    Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended.

    Contributions  -  Participants  may   contribute   up   to   the  maximum
    contribution  allowable under  section  401(k) of  the  Internal  Revenue
    Code. The Company matches 100 percent of participant contributions up  to
    a  maximum  match of  the  lessor  of  5%  of  the  participant's  annual
    compensation or $5,000.

    In addition, the Company  may make a special discretionary  contribution.
    The  amount  of the  discretionary  contribution  is  determined  by  the
    Company. Participants must  be actively employed on  the last day of  the
    Plan year to share in any discretionary contributions.

    Vesting-Participants   are  immediately   vested   in   their   voluntary
    contributions, the employer's matching  contribution and the earnings  on
    these contributions. Vesting in the employer's discretionary portions  of
    their accounts is based on  years of continuous service with an  employee
    becoming fully vested after six years of continuous service.

    Benefits-Upon termination of service, an employee may elect to receive  a
    lump-sum amount equal to  the value of his or  her account at either  the
    time of termination or at the end of the Plan year. An employee may  also
    elect to receive the value of his or her account in installment  payments
    or have the balance rolled over into an Individual Retirement Account.

    Participant  Loans-Participants may  borrow  for  qualifying  reasons  as
    defined in the Plan, from their fund accounts up to a maximum of  $50,000
    or 50% of  their vested account  balances. Loan terms  range from one  to
    fifteen years  for a  mutually agreed  term between  the participant  and
    Plan  administrator.  The  loans  are  secured  by  the  balance  in  the
    participant's account  and  bear interest  at  a rate  commensurate  with
    local prevailing rates  (ranging from 4.25% to  12.15%, as determined  by
    the Plan administrator. Principal  and interest are paid through  payroll
    deductions.

    Benefits Payable-Benefits  are recorded  when paid.  As of  December  31,
    2002 distributions payable to Plan participants was zero.

    Basis of Accounting-The financial statements of the Plan are prepared  on
    the accrual basis.

    Investment  Valuation-Investments are  stated  at fair  value,  which  is
    determined  using public  market  quotations if  available.  Non-publicly
    traded  investments  (Diversified Investment Advisors - Fixed Fund)  have
    been reported based on  values provided by the Plan trustee.  Participant
    loans are reported at cost, which approximates fair value.

    Basis of  Allocation-Investment income and  gain or  loss on  investments
    are allocated  to the  participants based  on the  participant's  account
    balance.   Forfeitures   are   allocated   to   participants   based   on
    participant's  account balance  in  relation to  total  account  balances
    of  all  Plan  participants.  Discretionary  contributions,  if any,  are
    allocated based on eligible compensation.

    Use of  Estimates-The preparation of  financial statements in  conformity
    with accounting  principles generally accepted  in the  United States  of
    America  requires  management to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that
    affect  the  reported amounts  of  assets and liabilities  and disclosure
    of contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of the  financial
    statements and the  reported amounts of  additions and deductions  during
    the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 2. INVESTMENTS

    The Plan's  deposits are maintained  in money market  accounts until  the
    deposits are allocated  to the participant  self-directed funds based  on
    the participant's  percentage allocation  election. The  participant  can
    elect direction of investments upon entering the Plan and may change  the
    direction  of  investment options  on  a  daily  basis.  Unless  directed
    otherwise   by  participants,   employer   matching   and   discretionary
    contributions  will  be  allocated   in  the  same  manner  as   employee
    contributions.

    The components of the Plan's individual investments which represent  five

 3. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

    During  2002 and  2001,  the  Plan received  approximately  $276,404  and
    $229,499, respectively, in dividends  from the Company. In addition,  the
    Company pays certain fees on behalf of the Plan for accounting services.

 4. PLAN TERMINATION

    Although it has not expressed an intention to do so, the Company has  the
    right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and  to
    terminate the Plan, subject to the  provisions of ERISA. In the event  of
    plan termination, employees become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

 5. TAX STATUS

    The Internal  Revenue Service  ("IRS")  has determined  and informed  the
    Company by a letter dated  September 10, 1996, that the  Plan is designed
    in accordance  with  applicable sections  of  the  Internal Revenue  Code
    ("IRC"). In  2002, the  Company  filed the  Plan's  GUST Reinstated  Plan
    document with the IRS.  The  Company believes  that the Plan  is designed
    and  is  currently  being operated  in  compliance  with  the  applicable
    requirements of the IRC.

 6. RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500

    As discussed in Note 1, due  to the plan restructuring,  the statement of
    changes in net assets per the financial statements has been segregated so
    that the amounts  presented for  July 1, 2002  through December  31, 2002
    agreed to Form 5500.

    The Plan's financial statements  are presented on a "carryover basis"  so
    that historical activity  through June 30, 2002  of the Predecessor  Plan
    is presented. However,  the Form 5500  presents the Plan  as a new  plan;
    therefore, the following is  presented to reconcile net assets  available
    for  benefits  and transfers  within  the  financial  statements  to  the
    amounts in Form 5500:


    Net assets available for benefits as of January 1, 2002
      per financial statements                                 $   67,554,938
    Less:  Predecessor plan net assets available for benefits
      as of December 31, 2001                                      67,554,938
                                                                -------------
    Net assets available for benefits as of January 1, 2002
      per Form 5500                                            $            -
                                                                =============
