FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

          JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES POSTS RECORD REVENUES,
          EARNINGS AND EARNINGS PER SHARE IN FISCAL 2000

          4Q00 REVENUES INCREASE 54% AND PROFITS RISE 41%

  Monett, MO, July 21, 2000 -- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.
  (Nasdaq: JKHY) today reported record fiscal 2000 results capped
  by a strong fourth quarter.  This represents the 11th
  consecutive year of record revenues, earnings and earnings per
  share.  These results reflect the continuing strong demand from
  financial institutions nationwide for banking technology and
  e-finance solutions.  Fourth quarter revenues increased 54% to
  $69.4 million with revenues from software licensing and
  installation almost doubling, generating a 41% increase in
  earnings of $11.4 million or $.26 per diluted share.

  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, total revenues
  increased 16% to $225.3 million compared to $193.5 million in
  fiscal 1999.   Income from continuing operations increased 5% to
  $34.4 million, or $.81 per diluted share, compared to $32.7
  million, or $.77 per diluted share, in fiscal 1999.  All prior
  periods have been restated to reflect the 2-for-1 split
  effective March 2, 2000 and the acquisition of Sys-Tech, Inc.
  which was accounted for as a pooling of interests and closed
  June 1, 2000, as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

  "The revenue and earnings growth during the second half of this
  fiscal year  reflects the demand for technology that built
  during the Y2K moratorium last year.  This is further
  demonstrated by the 97% increase in fourth quarter software
  licensing and installation revenues," said Michael E. Henry,
  Chairman and CEO.

  Software licensing and installation revenues in the fourth
  quarter increased to $21.8 million and accounted for 31% of
  total revenues compared to $11.1 million or 25% of fourth
  quarter 1999 revenues.  In fiscal 2000, software licensing and
  installation grew 22% to $57.7 million or 26% of total revenues
  compared to $47.2 million or 24% of fiscal 1999 revenues.
  Fourth quarter maintenance, support and services revenues
  increased 52% to $27.7 million and hardware sales increased 27%
  to $19.9 million.   In fiscal 2000, maintenance, support and
  services revenues increased 37% to $97.5 million and hardware
  sales decreased 7% to $70.1 million.

  Backlog was $104.4 million at June 30, 2000 compared to $91.2
  million, at March 31, 2000, and $86.6 million at June 30, 1999.
  The backlog for in-house products and services totaled $43.0
  million at year end compared to $27.9 million a year ago.
  Outsourcing backlog was $61.4 million compared to $58.7 million
  a year ago.

  "Software licensing and installation is our most profitable
  revenue component, and consequently, its revenue growth helped
  boost gross margin to 48% in the fourth quarter, up from 46% in
  the fourth quarter a year ago," said Terry Thompson, CFO.
  Conversely, full year gross margin was 44%, down from 45% in the
  comparable period of fiscal 1999 due to Y2K and the mix of
  revenues.  Fourth quarter gross profit grew 58% to $33.0 million
  compared to $20.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
  Fiscal 2000 gross profit was up 14% to $98.1 million compared to
  $86.3 million a year ago.

  "We continued to build our business capabilities and customer
  base through strategic acquisitions during the year.  In fiscal
  2000, we completed four acquisitions including the Open Systems
  Group, with over 800 customers and UNIX-based technology,
  BancData Solutions providing a strong outsourcing base on the
  West Coast, Symitar Systems strengthening our credit union
  operations, and Sys-Tech adding expertise in uninterruptible
  power supply systems and the design and maintenance of computer
  facilities," Henry noted.  "These acquisitions contributed to
  earnings in the fiscal year."
                               (more)


  Operating expenses for the fourth quarter increased to $15.1
  million or 22% of revenues and for fiscal 2000 to $47.1 million
  or 21% of revenues, reflecting increasing costs of operating,
  including some arising from acquisitions this year.  "Selling
  and marketing expenses increased the most during the year,
  growing 36% to $19 million.  We continue to devote 3% to 4% of
  revenues to research and development.  General and
  administrative expenses grew more slowly than revenues,
  increasing 38% in the quarter and 16% for the year," said
  Michael R. Wallace, President and COO.

  "The fourth quarter marked the first customer rollout of our new
  Internet portal, NetHarbor(TM)," Wallace continued.   The new
  product allows banks to launch websites that offer customer
  convenience and provide a new revenue source for both financial
  institutions and for JKHY.  NetHarbor allows the bank's clients
  to customize their bank-branded home page content to meet their
  daily internet needs with real time online banking transactions;
  account information and services plus news, local weather
  forecasts, stock quotes, community affairs, favorite internet
  links, and e-shopping.   We expect to add integrated online
  brokerage to NetHarbor's service offerings before calendar year
  end.

  Fourth quarter operating income was $17.8 million compared to
  $12.2 million in last year's fourth quarter.  Fiscal 2000
  operating income was $51.0 million compared to $49.7 million in
  fiscal 1999.  Pre-tax income in both the quarter and the year
  reflect the lower interest income and higher interest expense
  resulting from the year's acquisition activities.  Fourth
  quarter pre-tax income totaled $17.4 million compared to $12.4
  million and fiscal 2000 pre-tax income was $51.8 compared to
  $51.6 million a year ago.

  At June 30, 2000, the balance sheet reflected strong growth
  during the year with assets growing 83% to $325 million and
  stockholders' equity up 33% to $154.5 million.  Long-term and
  short-term debt totaled $71 million at year-end.  On July 14th,
  the company filed a registration statement with the Securities
  and Exchange Commission for a proposed offering of five million
  shares of its common stock comprised of two million shares
  offered by the Company and three million shares offered by
  selling stockholders.  The Company intends to use its net
  proceeds from the offering for repayment of debt, working
  capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate
  purposes, including potential acquisitions.
