JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. ("JHA" or the "Company") is a leading provider of integrated computer systems that has developed and acquired several banking and credit union software systems. The Company's revenues are predominately earned by marketing those systems to financial institutions nationwide along with the computer equipment (hardware) and by providing the conversion and software installation services for a financial institution to install a JHA software system. JHA also provides continuing support and services to customers using the systems either in-house or outsourced.

CONSOLIDATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JHA and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

STOCK OPTIONS

As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for stock-based awards to employees. Under APB No. 25, the Company generally recognizes no compensation expense with respect to such awards, since the exercise price of the stock options awarded are equal to the fair market value of the underlying security on the grant date.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required to be presented as if the Company had accounted for its stock based awards to employees under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated as of the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company's pro forma information is as follows:

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income for each of the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, equals the Company's net income.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated 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, 2003. 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, 2003.

In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

The results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

RECLASSIFICATION

Where appropriate, prior period financial information has been reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective November 22, 2002, the EITF reached a consensus regarding EITF Issue No. 02-16, Accounting by a Customer, Including a Reseller, for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor. This consensus requires that payments from a vendor be classified as a reduction to the price of the vendor's goods and taken as a reduction to cost of sales unless the payments are (1) a reimbursement for costs incurred to sell the product or (2) a payment for assets or services provided. The consensus also requires that payments from a vendor be recognized as a reduction to cost of sales on a rational and systematic basis. This consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002 (July 1, 2003 for JHA). The adoption of this consensus on July 1, 2003 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, ("VIE") which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that either: (1) do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (2) the equity investors lack an essential characteristic of a controlling financial interest. The FIN 46 transition requirements for VIEs existing before January 31, 2003, were delayed, effective October 9, 2003, with the issuance of FASB Staff Position 46-6. The Company early adopted the transition provisions of FIN 46 on July 1, 2003, without any impact on its financial position or results of operations, because the Company does not have any VIEs.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires classification of a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability, or an asset in some circumstances. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was therefore effective for the Company on July 1, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Per share information is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Stock options have been included in the calculation of income per share to the extent they are dilutive.

Non-dilutive stock options to purchase approximately 1,720,000 and 1,759,000 shares and 6,173,000 and 6,028,000 shares for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted income per common share.

We have developed and acquired suites of banking and credit union application software systems that we market, together with compatible computer hardware, to financial institutions throughout the United States. We also perform data conversion and software installation for the implementation of our systems and provide continuing support and services after the systems are installed. For our customers who prefer not to make an up-front capital investment in software and the related hardware, we provide the same full range of products and services on an outsourced basis through our seven data centers and fifteen item processing centers located throughout the United States.

A detailed discussion of the major components of the results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 compared to the same periods in the previous year follows:

REVENUE - Revenue increased 10% to $112.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $102.6 million for the same period last year. License revenue decreased 10% to $12.4 million, which represented 11% of total revenue, compared to $13.8 million in the first quarter a year ago or 13% of total revenue. Support and service revenue increased 19% to $76.7 million, which represented 68% of total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2003 compared to $64.3 million, or 63% of total revenue, in the same period in the previous year. Hardware revenue decreased 4% to $23.6 million, which represented 21% of total revenue from $24.5 million or 24% of total revenue for the second quarter in the previous year.

For the first half of fiscal 2004, revenue grew 13% from $196.5 million last year to $221.7 million. License revenue decreased 2% from $25.9 million for the first six months in fiscal 2003 to $25.4 million in the first six months in fiscal 2004. Support and service revenue grew 20% to $149.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2004 from $124.1 million for the first half of fiscal 2003. Hardware sales increased 1% to $47.1 million for the current six months from $46.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002.

There was strong growth in all components that make up support and service revenue for the three and six-months ended December 31, 2003. The support and service revenue growth of $12.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year represents $0.7 million growth in installation services, $2.6 million growth in ATM and debit card processing services, $3.5 million growth in outsourcing services and $5.7 million increase for in-house support revenue.

For the first half of fiscal 2004, support and service revenue increased by $25.1 million, consisting of a $3.6 million increase in installation services, a $4.4 million increase in ATM and debit card processing services, $5.3 million increase in outsourcing services and $11.8 million increase for in-house support revenue.

The support and service revenue growth is primarily due to in-house support relating to the software installations performed during the previous 12 months. Outsourcing services for banks and credit unions, along with ATM and debit card transaction processing services, continue to drive revenue growth at a strong pace. License revenue and hardware revenue continue to come in with slight fluctuations compared to prior periods as expected, due to the slow recovery of larger capital outlays for new core software sales.

Our backlog increased 16% at December 31, 2003 to $182.5 million ($60.0 in- house and $122.5 outsourcing) from $158.0 million ($57.6 in-house and $100.4 outsourcing) at December 31, 2002. Backlog increased 3% from September 30, 2003, from $176.5 million ($60.2 in-house and $116.3 outsourcing).

COST OF SALES - Cost of sales increased 4% for the three months ended December 31, 2003, from $65.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 to $68.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003. Cost of license decreased to $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003, from $1.0 million at December 31, 2002. Cost of support and service increased 11% to $51.7 million in the current three-month period compared to $46.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Cost of hardware decreased 12% from $18.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 to $16.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

For the first half of fiscal 2004, cost of sales increased 8%, from $124.6 million for fiscal 2003 to $134.3 million for fiscal 2004. Cost of license decreased 34% from $1.8 million to $1.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Cost of support and service increased 15% to $100.7 million in the current six-month period compared to $88.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002. Cost of hardware decreased 7% from $34.8 million for the first half of fiscal 2003 to $32.4 million for the first half of fiscal 2004.

The decrease in the cost of license is due to a lower percentage of third party software delivered in the three and six months ended December 31, 2003, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Support and service depreciation expense increased 24% for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003. The increase in depreciation is due to new buildings, plus other capital expenditures for infrastructure and equipment related to support and services. In the cost of support and service, employee related expenses increased 4% and 9% for the current three and six-month periods, compared to the fiscal 2003 periods, due to annual raises and a small increase in headcount. Hardware cost decreased primarily due to increased vendor incentives compared with the same periods last year.

GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit increased 21% to $44.7 million, reflecting a 40% gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2004, compared to $36.9 million, reflecting a 36% gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Gross margin on license revenue increased to 98% for the current quarter compared to last year's second quarter with a 93% margin. The gross profit for support and service increased 41% from $17.7 million to $25.0 million for the second quarter ended December 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year. For the three months ended December 31, 2003, the gross margin for support and service was 33% compared to 28% for the same quarter in fiscal 2003. Hardware gross margin increased 20% from $6.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2002, to $7.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2003. Hardware gross margin increased from 26% in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 to 32% for the second quarter fiscal 2004.

Gross profit increased 21% to $87.4 million, reflecting a 39% gross margin for the first half of fiscal 2004, compared to $72.0 million, reflecting a 37% gross margin for the first half of fiscal 2003. Gross margin on license revenue increased to 95% for the current six months compared to 93% for the same period last year. The gross profit for support and service increased 34% from $36.2 million to $48.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003 compared to the same period last year. For the six months ended December 31, 2003, the gross margin for support and service was 32% compared to 29% for the same six months in fiscal 2003. Hardware gross profit increased 25% from $11.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2003 to $14.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2004. Hardware gross margin increased from 25% for the six months of fiscal 2003 to 31% for the six months of fiscal 2004.

Gross margins in all three revenue categories grew in the quarter and year- to-date. License revenue gross profit grew primarily because of reduced third party vendor costs. The gross profit and gross margin increase in support and service are due to revenue growth, with approximately 86% of support and service revenue in fiscal 2004 being recurring revenue, and the continuation of companywide cost control measures by management implemented throughout the year. The increase in hardware margin is primarily due to sales mix and an increase in incentives and rebates on specific hardware sold compared to last year, which is reflected in the cost of hardware.

OPERATING EXPENSES - Total operating expenses increased 19% to $22.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2003 compared to $18.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002. The change represents a 49% increase in research and development expenses from $4.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2002, to $5.9 million for the second quarter in fiscal 2004. Selling and marketing expenses increased 11%, from $7.7 million, or 7% of total revenue, to $8.5 million, or 8% of total revenue, for the three-month period ended December 31, 2003. General and administrative expenses increased 9%, from $7.0 million to $7.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 as compared with the same three-month period last year.

For the first half of fiscal 2004, operating expenses increased 20% to $43.2 million from $36.1 million in the same period for the prior year. Selling and marketing expenses increased 16%, from $14.9 million to $17.3 million. Research and development expenses increased 49% from $7.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002 to $11.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. General and administrative expenses increased 7%, from $13.7 million to $14.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2004 as compared with the same six-month period in fiscal 2003.

For the three and six-months ended December 31, 2003, selling and marketing expenses increased primarily due to increased revenue and the associated selling costs. Research and development expenses increased in the three and six-month periods of fiscal 2004 due to ongoing development of new products and enhancements to existing products. Also in fiscal 2003, a larger percentage of employee-related expenses were capitalized due to major development projects, the majority of which were completed during fiscal 2003. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to employee-related expenses.

INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE) - Net interest income for the three and six-months ended December 31, 2003 reflects an increase of $120,000 and $217,000 when compared to the same period last year due to the higher cash and cash equivalents balance.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES - The provision for income taxes was $8.3 million, or 36.5% of income before income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2003 compared with $6.7 million or 36.5% of income before income taxes for the same period last year. For the first half of fiscal 2004, the provision for income taxes was $16.3 million, or 36.5% of income before income taxes, compared with $13.2 million or 36.5% of income before income taxes for the same six-month period last year.

NET INCOME - Net income for the second quarter was $14.5 million or $0.16 per diluted share compared to $11.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the same period last year. For the six-months ended December 31, 2003, net income was $28.4 million or $0.31 per diluted share compared to $23.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2002.

Business Segment Discussion

Revenues in the bank systems and services business segment increased 7% to $94.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $87.8 million in the same period a year ago. Gross profit increased 14% from $33.3 million in the second quarter of the previous year to $38.0 million in the current second quarter. Gross margin increased from 38% to 40% for the current second quarter compared to the same quarter in the previous year.

License revenue for the bank systems and services business segment decreased 8% from $9.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2002 to $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003, primarily due to the slow recovery of larger capital outlays for new core software sales and timing of shipments. Bank support and service revenue increased 14% to $65.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 from $57.6 million for the same period in the previous year. The support and service revenue increase of $8.3 million represents a decrease of $0.3 million for install revenue, $1.7 million growth in ATM and debit card processing, $3.3 million growth in outsourcing services and $3.6 million growth for in-house support revenue. Hardware revenue in the bank segment decreased 5% from $20.7 million to $19.7 million, which is in line with the decrease in license revenue.

For the first half of fiscal 2004, the bank systems and services business segment increased revenue by 10%, from $168.5 million to $185.8 million. Gross profit increased 16% from $64.3 million to $74.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Gross margin increased from 38% in the prior year to 40% for the current six months ended December 31, 2003.

In the six months ended December 31, 2003, bank license revenue increased 7% to $17.5 million from $16.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002. Bank support and service increased 15% to $129.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2003, compared to $112.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2002. The increase of $16.6 million represents $0.9 million growth for installation services, $3.0 million growth in ATM and debit card processing, $5.0 million growth in outsourcing services and $7.7 million growth for in-house support revenue. Bank hardware revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2003 decreased slightly by 1%, from $39.7 million for the prior six-month period, to $39.3 million for the current six-month period.

Bank systems and services business segment increased gross profit and gross margin for the second quarter and year to date of fiscal 2004, due to our revenue growth and continued leveraging of resources and infrastructure. In addition, lower-margin hardware sales continue to become a smaller percentage of total revenues.

Revenues in the credit union systems and services business segment increased 25% from $14.8 million in the second quarter in fiscal 2003 to $18.5 million for the second quarter in fiscal 2004. Gross profit increased 89% from $3.5 million in the second quarter of the previous year to $6.7 million in the current year second quarter. Gross margin increased from 24% in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 to 36% for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 primarily due to increased leveraging of resources and infrastructure. Also, gross margin has improved due to sales mix of higher margin services.

License revenue for the credit union systems and services business segment decreased 14% from $4.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2002 to $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2003. Credit union support and service revenue increased 64% to $10.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, from $6.6 million for the same period in the previous year. The support and service revenue increase of $4.2 million represents an increase of $0.9 million for installation services, $0.9 million growth in ATM and debit card processing, $0.2 million growth in outsourcing services and $2.2 million growth for in-house support revenue. Hardware revenue in the credit union segment increased 3% from $3.8 million to $3.9 million.

In the six months ended December 31, 2003, credit union license revenue decreased 17% to $7.9 million from $9.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002. Credit union support and service increased 72% to $20.2 million in the current year, compared to $11.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2002. The increase of $8.4 million represents $2.6 million growth for installation services, $1.4 million growth in ATM and debit card processing, $0.3 million growth in outsourcing services and $4.1 million growth for in-house support revenue. Hardware revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2003 increased 14%, from $6.8 million for the prior six-month period to $7.8 million for the current six-month period.

For the first half of fiscal 2004, the credit union systems and services business segment increased revenue by 28%, from $28.1 million to $35.9 million. Gross profit increased 66% from $7.7 million to $12.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Gross margin increased from 27% for the first six months in the prior year to 36% for the first six months ended December 31, 2003.

Credit union systems and services business segment increased gross profit 89% for the second quarter of 2004 and 66% for the six months ended December 31, 2003, due to revenue growth outpacing the cost of sales, by leveraging resources and infrastructure, and by controlling overall costs. Significant increases in credit union support and service revenue is also attributable to additional credit union installations over the year, which have created the significant increases in recurring support revenue. Also, increased revenue is being generated by additional services to the credit union customer base such as ATM and debit card processing, outsourcing services and Centurion disaster recovery, all of which carry higher profit margins.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and investments increased to $109.5 million at December 31, 2003, from $33.0 million at June 30, 2003 primarily due to collection of annual in-house support fees billed at June 30, 2003. Cash provided by operations was $92.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $69.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002. The increase of $22.8 million is primarily due to collections related to the shift in the annual billing cycle for in-house support fees for acquired customers to our fiscal year end and increases in prepaid annual support fees related to software installed in prior periods.

Cash of $24.4 million was used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Capital expenditures of $24.9 million includes $12.3 million for the initial cash outlay for expansion of our new San Diego facility, expansion of existing facilities and additional equipment. Financing activities provided cash of $8.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2003, mainly from the $14.7 million of proceeds from the issuance of stock for stock options exercised, less dividends paid during the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 which were $6.2 million.

The Company has available credit lines totaling $58.0 million at December 31, 2003.

Capital Requirements and Resources

The Company generally uses existing resources and funds generated from operations to meet its capital requirements. Capital expenditures totaling $24.9 million and $26.3 million for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were made for expansion of facilities and additional equipment. These additions were funded from cash generated by operations. Total consolidated capital expenditures of JHA are not expected to exceed $61 million for fiscal year 2004.

On September 21, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock buyback of the Company's common stock of up to 3.0 million shares, and approved an increase on October 4, 2002 to 6.0 million shares. At June 30, 2003, 3,012,933 shares have been purchased for $49,218,870. At June 30, 2003, there were 2,363,121 shares remaining in treasury stock. In the three and six-months ended December 31, 2003, the Company issued 693,542 and 1,383,741 shares upon the exercise of stock options and 8,488 and 18,217 shares were purchased for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, leaving a balance of 961,163 shares.

The Company paid a $0.035 per share cash dividend on December 2, 2003 to stockholders of record on November 18, 2003, which was funded from operations. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors, subsequent to December 31, 2003, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on its common stock payable February 26, 2004 to stockholders of record on February 11, 2004. This dividend will be funded with cash generated from operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company regularly reviews its selection and application of significant accounting policies and related financial disclosures. The application of these accounting policies requires that management make estimates and judgments. The estimates that affect the application of our most critical accounting policies and require our most significant judgments are outlined in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - "Critical Accounting Policies" - contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2003.

Forward Looking Statements

The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition and other portions of this report contain forward- looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Actual results are subject to risks and uncertainties, including both those specific to the Company and those specific to the industry, which could cause results to differ materially from those contemplated. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the matters detailed at Risk Factors in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements.

CONCLUSION

JHA's results of operations and its financial position continued to be good with solid earnings, strong cash flow and no debt as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2003. This reflects the continuing attitude of cooperation and commitment by each employee, management's ongoing cost control efforts and our commitment to deliver top quality products and services to the markets we serve.

 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk refers to the risk that a change in the level of one or more market prices, interest rates, indices, volatilities, correlations or other market factors such as liquidity, will result in losses for a certain financial instrument or group of financial instruments. We are currently exposed to credit risk on credit extended to customers and interest risk on investments in U.S. government securities. We actively monitor these risks through a variety of controlled procedures involving senior management. We do not currently use any derivative financial instruments. Based on the controls in place, credit worthiness of the customer base and the relative size of these financial instruments, we believe the risk associated with these exposures will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. There have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of evaluation.
