INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Trustees of Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. 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) Employee Stock Ownership Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 2001 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP St. Louis, Missouri June 17, 2002

JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES, INC. 401(k) EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following description of 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. 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 21. 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 fifteen percent of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, 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 7.0% to 11.5%, 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, 2001 and 2000, distributions payable to Plan participants amounted to $41,561 and $5,908, respectively. Basis of Accounting - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis. Investment Valuation - Valuation occurs monthly by determining each investment's fair value on the valuation date, which is the last business day of each calendar month. Fair value 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 of the fund assets are allocated to the participants based on the participant's account balance in each fund. 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 percent or more of the Plan's net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows: Fair Value ------------------------ 2001 2000 Common stock - Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. $39,650,301 $57,168,546 Diversified Investment Advisors - Balanced Fund 7,659,467 8,817,865 Janus Equity Fund 8,645,657 10,386,435 Diversified Investment Advisors - Fixed Fund 5,742,770 3,998,276

During 2001 and 2000, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought, sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated), as follows: For the Year Ended ------------------------ 2001 2000 Common stock - Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. $(17,227,599) $31,812,638 Diversified Investment Advisors - Balanced Fund (2,054,000) (1,808,072) Janus Equity Fund (2,966,883) (1,724,123) Diversified Investment Advisors - Fixed Fund 263,937 219,567 Diversified Investment Advisors - Core Bond (7,935) Diversified Investment Advisors - Value & Income 23,330 Diversified Investment Advisors - Special Equity 5,730 Diversified Investment Advisors - International Equity 475 Diversified Investment Advisors - Short Horizon (1,724) Diversified Investment Advisors - Short/Intermediate Horizon (520) Diversified Investment Advisors - Intermediate Horizon (144) Diversified Investment Advisors - Intermediate/Long Horizon (889) Diversified Investment Advisors - Long Horizon 1,066 ----------- ---------- $(21,965,156) $28,500,010 =========== ========== 3. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST During 2001 and 2000, the Plan received approximately $229,499 and $179,693, 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 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). Although the Plan has since been amended and certain corrective actions have been taken, the Company believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. * * * * * *
