NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries

October 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 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 three months ended October 31, 1994 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending July 31,
1995.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes
hereto included in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended July 31, 1994.


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
form 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 October 31, 1994, M.K. &
Co. had net capital of $80,383,266 which was 29% of its aggregate debit
balances and $74,885,522 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 earned on
municipal bonds.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS 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 and also provides
investment advisory services.  While M.K. & Co. regularly participates in
the trading of some derivative securities for its customers, this trading
is not a major portion of M.K. & Co.'s business.  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 control costs.

Results of Operations

The Registrant's revenue stream continued to be strong for the first
quarter despite market uncertainty.  Revenues decreased by $1,458,000 or
only 2.5% below the first quarter of the pervious year.  A 29% increase in
investment banking revenues offset an 18% decrease in commissions and a 17%
decrease in principal transactions.  These decreases are attributable to
the continued rise in interest rates that began in fiscal 1994.

Operating expenses increased 3%, or $1,303,000, over the same period in the
previous fiscal year.  The primary components of the increase were a
$1,692,000 or 56% increase in interest expenses and a 20% increase in
communications expenses.  The increase in interest expense is related to
the above noted higher interest rates and the increase in communications
expenses is primarily a result of continued growth in the branch office
system.

Net income for the quarter was $6,771,000 or $.50 per share compared to
$8,432,000 or $.58 per share for the same period of the previous year. 
This decrease relates to rising interest rates and fluctuating market
conditions.  Company management feels that rising interest rates makes the
short-term outlook less optimistic, but plans to continue to build its
branch office network and grow for the long term.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

High liquidity is reflected in the Registrant's statement of financial
condition with approximately 96% of its assets consisting of cash or assets
readily convertible into cash.  Financing resources include the
Registrant's equity capital, commercial paper, short-term borrowings and
customer and broker payables.  For the three month period ended October 1,
1994, cash flows from operating activities decreased $46,449,000 compared
with a decrease of $696,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1993. 
The change resulted primarily from increases in repurchase transactions and
increases in inventory levels.

  OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

Cash flows from financing activities increased $68,652,000 for the three
months ended October 31, 1994 compared with a $2,225,000 decrease in the
same period of the prior year.  The increase was a result of an increase in
short-term borrowings used to offset the operating effect of the increase
in receivable from customers.

Investing activities resulted in a $1,859,000 decrease in cash flows for
the current period compared to a $1,435,000 decrease in the previous
period.  This is primarily due to installing upgraded computer equipment to
accommodate the growth in the branch system.  The Registrant has no
material commitments for capital expenditures.

At October 31, 1994, the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary, which is
regulated under the SEC's uniform net capital rule, had net capital of
$80,383,266 which was $74,885,522 in excess of the 2% net capital
requirement.  During the quarter, the Registrant declared and paid cash
dividends of $0.08 per share on the shares outstanding.

The Registrant continued the stock repurchase program begun in November,
1993.  During the quarter, the Registrant repurchased 176,900 shares for an
aggregate price of $2,260,000.  Since the beginning of the repurchase
program, the Registrant has purchased 1,517,000 shares for an aggregate
price of $19,037,000.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal proceedings

        On August 31, 1994, the Court in In Re Taxable Municipal Bond
        Securities Litigation, MDL 863 ("the MDL") gave tentative approval
        to a class settlement of $21.2 million to be paid by the
        Underwriters in all taxable bond syndicates involved in the MDL
        and certain other defendants.  The MDL and the settlement were
        previously described in prior Form 10-Q and Form 10-K S.E.C.
        filings.  Management is of the opinion that the settlement will
        have no material adverse effect on the Registrant's results of
        operations or on the financial statements of the Registrant taken
        as a whole.  In the event a final settlement is not achieved,
        management is of the opinion that it has meritorious defenses and
        has advised its counsel to vigorously defend all claims arising
        from the MDL.

        In addition to the matters described above, M.K. & Co. is subject
        to various claims incidental to its securities business.  While
        the ultimate resolution of pending litigation and claims 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 such
        lawsuits and claims, and that liability, if any, resulting from
        all litigation will have no material adverse effect on the
        Registrant's consolidated financial condition.
