 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
   PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


 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
 (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related statement of
 changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
 2003. 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 standards of the Public Company
 Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, 2003 and 2002, and
 the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended
 December 31, 2003 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 2003 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


 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

    The following description of Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. 401(k)
    Retirement Savings 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") who
    have at least six months 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.

    Investments-Participants direct the investment of their contributions
    and employee contributions into various investment options offered by
    the Plan. The Plan currently offers Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. common
    stock, a money market fund, fourteen mutual funds and a guaranteed
    separate account fund as investment options for participants.

    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.
    The total amount which a participant could elect to contribute to the
    Plan on a pre-tax basis in 2003 could not exceed $12,000. However, in
    2003, if a participant reached age 50 by December 31, 2003, they were
    able to contribute an additional $2,000 "catch up" contribution to the
    Plan on a pre-tax basis.

    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. There were no
    discretionary contributions in 2003.

    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
    vesting 20% after two years of service and subsequently vesting 20% each
    year until becoming fully vested with 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 a minimum amount of $1,000
    up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balances. Loan
    terms range from one to five years, unless the loan is going to be used
    to purchase the participant's principal residence, in which case the
    term may extend beyond five years. 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 of December
    31, 2003), as determined by the Plan administrator. Principal and
    interest are paid through payroll deductions. Participants may elect
    to maintain their loan subsequent to their termination.

    Benefits Payable-Benefits are recorded when paid. As of December 31,
    2003 and 2002 distributions payable to Plan participants was zero.

    Forfeited Accounts-At December 31, 2003 and 2002, forfeited nonvested
    accounts totaled $1,988 and $1,098, respectively. These accounts will
    be used to reduce future employer contributions.

 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

    Investment Valuation and Income Recognition-Investments are stated at
    fair value, which is determined using public market quotations if
    available. Non-publicly traded investments (Diversified Investment
    Advisors-Managed Stability-Stable 5 Fund) have been reported based on
    values provided by the Plan trustee. Participant loans are reported at
    cost, which approximates fair value.

    The Plan invests in various securities including common stock and mutual
    funds. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks,
    such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to
    the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is
    reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities
    will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially
    affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available
    for plan benefits.

    Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
    Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded
    on the ex-dividend date.

    Basis of Allocation-Investment income and gain or loss on investments
    are allocated to the participants based on the participant's account
    balance. 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.

 3. 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, 2003 and 2002 are as follows:

                                                         2003         2002

                                                                   ==========

 4. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

    During 2003, the Plan received approximately $164,304 in dividends from
    the Company. In addition, the Company pays certain fees on behalf of the
    Plan for accounting services.

 5. 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.

 6. 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.
