NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries

January 31, 1994



NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Morgan Keegan,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the
Registrant).  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
results for the six months ended January 31, 1994 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending July 31,
1994.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended July 31, 1993.




NOTE B - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENT

As a registered broker/dealer and member of the New York Stock Exchange, the
Registrant's brokerage subsidiary, Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. (M.K. & Co.)
is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) uniform net
capital rule.  The broker/dealer subsidiary has elected to operate under the
alternative method of the rule, which prohibits a broker/dealer from engaging
in any securities transactions when its net capital is less than 2% of its
aggregate debit balances, as defined, arising from customer transactions. 
The SEC may also require a member firm to reduce its business and restrict
withdrawal of subordinated capital if its net capital is less than 4% of
aggregate debit balances, and may prohibit a member firm from expanding its
business and declaring cash dividends if its net capital is less than 5% of
aggregate debit balances.  At January 31, 1994, M.K. & Co. had net capital of
$82,230,669 which was 36% of its aggregate debit balances and $77,682,515 in
excess of the 2% net capital requirement.




NOTE C - INCOME TAXES

The principal reason for the difference between the Registrant's effective
tax rate and the federal statutory rate is the non-taxable interest earned on
municipal bonds.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries

Morgan Keegan, Inc. (The Registrant) operates a full service regional
brokerage business through its principal subsidiary, Morgan Keegan & Company,
Inc. (M.K. & Co.).  M.K. & Co. is involved in the highly competitive business
of origination, underwriting, distribution, trading and brokerage of fixed
income and equity securities.  M.K. & Co. typically does not underwrite high
yield securities, and normally is not involved in bridge loan financings or
any other ventures that management believes may not be appropriate for its
strategic approach.  Many highly volatile factors affect revenues, including
general market conditions, interest rates, investor sentiment and world
affairs, all of which are outside the Registrant's control.  However, certain
expenses are relatively fixed.  As a result, net earnings can vary
significantly from quarter to quarter, regardless of management's efforts to
enhance revenues and controls costs.

Results of Operations

The Registrant's second quarter set records for both revenues and earnings,
continuing the strong revenue stream which has been in place for the past
four quarters.  Revenues increased by $10,728,000 or 21.7% over the second
quarter of fiscal 1993.  A substantial portion of the increase is attributed
to investment banking related revenues which increased in excess of 55%.  The
Dow Jones Industrial Average continues to hover at record levels, and
interest rates have begun to rise slightly; however, due to the number of new
issues and strong investor activity, management anticipates continued strong
commission levels in the near term future.

Operating expenses increased 20% or $7,688,000 which is 1.5% less than the
increase in revenues for the quarter.  Almost three-fourths of the increase
relates to employee compensation, which increased $5,581,000 or 21.6% and is
in proportion to the 21.7% increase in revenues.  Travel and promotional
expenses increased $716,000 which reflected continuing marketing efforts and
work force education and compliance seminars.

Net income for the quarter was $8,810,000 or $.60 compared to $7,170,000 or
$.51 for the second quarter of the prior year.  The continuing strong
investor activity coupled with the outstanding investment banking results
accounted for most of the increase.

Results of Operations - Fiscal Year To Date

Total revenues increased from $96,445,000 in the prior year to $117,789,000
in the current period, which represents a 22.1% increase.  As was the case
with the quarter, a substantial portion of the increase stemmed from
investment banking revenue which rose $9,558,000 or 81.5%.  Other increases
were more moderate and could be attributed to strong market activity.

Operating expenses of $89,747,000 represented a 21.3% increase, or
$15,780,000 from the previous years amount of $73,967,000.  The biggest
component of the increase was compensation which went up $12,820,000 and was
proportional with the increase in revenues.  The increase in travel and
promotional of 68.3% was attributed to the marketing and compliance efforts
and the decline in clearing and floor brokerage of 23.3% due to some
streamlining and expense reduction established in the floor brokerage area.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries



Net income for the first six months was $1.18 per share compared with $1.00
per share for fiscal 1993.  The 18% increase in profitability is attributed
to the strong investor activity, led by the outstanding performance of the
investment banking area.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

High liquidity is reflected in the Registrant's statement of financial
condition with approximately 97% of its assets consisting of cash or assets
readily convertible to cash.  Financing resources include the Registrant's
equity capital, commercial paper, repurchase transactions, short-term
borrowings, and customer and broker payables.  For the six months ended
January 31, 1994, cash flows from operating activities decreased $28,150,000
compared with an increase of $21,177,000 for the six months ended         
January 31, 1993.  This change was primarily a result of the Registrant's
brokerage subsidiary carrying a higher level of inventory.

Cash flows from financing activities increased $27,849,000 for the six months
ended January 31, 1994 compared to a decrease of $18,845,000 for the first
six months of fiscal 1993.  The increase in inventory warranted the need for
additional short-term borrowings to carry the higher level of inventory.

Investing activities resulted in a $2,293,000 decrease in cash flows for the
current period compared to the $1,410,000 decrease for the same period in the
previous year.  This is primarily due to management's continued commitment to
upgrade and improve the office communication network.  The Registrant has no
material commitments for capital expenditures.

At January 31, 1994, the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary, which is
regulated under the SEC's uniform new capital rule, had net capital of
$82,230,669 which was $77,682,515 in excess of the 2% net capital
requirement.  During the quarter, the Registrant declared and paid cash
dividends of $0.07 per share on the shares outstanding.

During the quarter, the Registrant's board of directors approved a stock
repurchase program to buy the Registrant's stock on the open market.  The
board authorized the purchase of up to 1,000,000 shares to be used for
general corporate purposes.  The corporation repurchased 179,500 shares for
$2,307,313 during the quarter.

Also during the quarter, the Registrant issued 406,914 shares of stock to
employees in conjunction with its stock incentive and restricted stock plans.

PART II   OTHER INFORMATION
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. ("M.K. & Co."), is named as one of many
defendants in class action complaints pending in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana as part of the multi-district
litigation styled In Re Taxable Municipal Bond Securities Litigation, MDL 863
(the "MDL").  The MDL was previously described in prior Form 10-Q and Form
10-K S.E.C. filings.  The MDL concerns the underwriting and sale of taxable
municipal bonds issued by several issuing authorities during 1986.  All bonds
which are the subject of the amended complaints, including those issued by
the Health, Education and Housing Facility Board of the City of Memphis,
Tennessee were rates AAA by Standard and Poor's corporation at the time of
their issuance, and maintained such rating through December, 1989.  In
January, 1990 and thereafter, the Standard and Poor's rating was downgraded
and the market price of the bonds has declined.

In the event the litigation is settled, management is of the opinion that
such a settlement would not have a material adverse effect on M.K. & Co.'s
results of operations or on the financial statements of M.K. & Co., taken as
a whole.  In the event a settlement is not achieved, management is of the
opinion that it has meritorious defenses and has advised its counsel to
vigorously defend the lawsuits.

In addition to the matters described above, M.K. & Co. is named in various
proceedings incidental to its securities business.  While the ultimate
resolution of pending litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, based
upon the information currently known, management is of the opinion that it
has meritorious defenses and has instructed its counsel to vigorously defend
the lawsuits.
