NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries

April 30, 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 nine months
ended April 30, 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 April 30, 1994, M.K. & Co. had net capital of
$89,809,014 which was 36% of its aggregate debit balances and $84,800,397 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 control costs.

Results of Operations

The Registrant's third quarter revenues of $56,294,000 exceeded the prior
years third quarter of $55,312,000 by $982,000 or 1.8%.  Investment banking
revenue more than doubled from $6,740,000 in the 1993 quarter to $14,865,000
in the current quarter, reflecting a strong investor appetite for equity
offerings including real estate investment trusts.  The increased banking
revenues were offset by a substantial decline in fixed income commissions and
trading losses due to a market decline in March and April.  Trading income for
the third quarter was $4,408,000 less than the previous year's third quarter
trading income.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average has declined from January
1994 and interest rates have increased.  Management anticipates a change in
volume from the record levels of the past three years as long as interest
rates continue to rise.

Operating expenses increased 8.5% for the quarter from $42,077,000 for third
quarter fiscal 1993 to $45,637,000 for third quarter fiscal 1994.  Employee
compensation increased from $28,990,000 to $30,902,000 or 6.6%.  The increase
is higher than the 1.8% increase in revenue, which it normally is in
proportion with, but would be in line considering the unusual decline in
trading income in excess of $4,000,000. 

Interest expense increased 51.4% or $1,522,000 which was mainly attributed to
the increase in short-term rates during the quarter and the large inventory
positions held during the quarter.  Floor brokerage expense declined by 35.7%
due to continuing efforts at cost cutting and management.

Net income for the quarter $6,657,000 or $.45 per share compared with
$8,085,000 or $.57 per share in the same quarter for the previous year.  The
decline in fixed income commissions from the strong levels in the prior year
coupled with the trading losses in March and April resulted in the earnings
per share decline.

Results of Operations - Fiscal Year-to-Date

Total revenues increased from $151,757,000 for fiscal 1993 to $174,084,000 for
the current year-to-date.  The biggest proportion of the increase is
represented by the almost doubling of banking revenues from $18,462,000 to
$36,144,000 for the current year.  Income from principal transactions declined
$6,107,000 or 7.9% with most of the decline ($5,770,000) due to the decrease
in trading income.

Operating expenses of $135,384,000 represented a 16.7% increase, or
$19,340,000 more than the previous year amount of $116,044,000.  The biggest
component of the increase was compensation which increased $14,732,000 or
18.6% and corresponded to the 14.7% increase in revenues considering the
substantial decline in trading income.  Interest expense increased $2,607,000
or 31.4% slightly in excess of the 28.3% increase in interest income,
primarily due to increasing interest rates during the third quarter.  The
increase in travel and promotional of 50.6% is due to increased marketing
efforts and compliance seminars.  The decline in clearing and floor brokerages
stems from changes in the method of execution and expense reduction in the
floor brokerage area.

Net income per share for the first nine months was $1.63 compared with $1.57
in the previous fiscal year.  The 3.8% increase in profitability can be
attributed to the strong banking performance and investor activity during the
first two quarters offset by the drop in the fiscal third quarter.


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 into cash.  Financing resources include the Registrant's
equity capital, commercial paper, repurchase transactions, short-term
borrowings, and customer and broker payables.  For the nine months ended April
30, 1994, cash flows from operating activities increased $22,185,000 compared
with an increase of $16,116,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 1993. 
This change was primarily a result of the Registrant's brokerage subsidiary
carrying higher customer credit balances and larger balances on repurchase
transactions.

Cash flows from financing activities decreased $20,784,000 for the nine months
ended April 30, 1994 compared to a decrease of $11,635,000 for the first nine
months of fiscal 1993.  A decrease in inventory reduced the need for
short-term borrowings by approximately $15,005,000.

Investing activities resulted in a $3,199,000 decrease in cash flows for the
current period compared to the $3,113,000 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.

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


At April 30, 1994, the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary, which is
regulated under the SEC's uniform new capital rule, had net capital of
$89,809,014 which was $84,800,397 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 repurchased 472,400 shares of Morgan Keegan,
Inc. for approximately $5,940,000 under a previously authorized stock
repurchase program of 1,000,000 shares.  Total purchases under the program
through the end of the third quarter were 651,900 shares for approximately
$8,248,000.  Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the directors authorized
the repurchase of an additional one million shares upon completion of the
initial one million share buy-back.

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 rated 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 had declined.

In the event the litigation is settled, management is of the opinion that such
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.
