NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries

April 30, 1995


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 nine months ended April 30, 1995, 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
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.  At April 30, 1995, M.K. & Co.
had net capital of $81,671,499 which was 30% of its aggregate debit
balances and $76,293,818 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.

 
NOTE D - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On May 17, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a three-for-two split to
be effected as a stock dividend to be distributed on June 9, 1995, to the
shareholders of record June 1, 1995.  All earnings per share data will be
restated in the Registrant's fourth quarter and annual report to give
effect to the stock split.

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 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

Revenues decreased during the third quarter $6,147,000 or 10.9% below the
third quarter of fiscal 1994.  An increase of $3,788,000 in interest income
reduced the effect of the $9,193,000 decrease in investment banking
revenues in the current quarter.  Investment banking activity was very
strong in the previous year; yet, while this activity has been slower in
the current year, it appears to be rebounding with renewed interest by
investors in equity offerings in the early stages of the fourth quarter of
the current year.

Operating expenses decreased $2,450,000 or 5.4% below the quarter from
$45,637,000 in the previous year to $43,187,000 in the current year. 
Employee compensation decreased approximately $5,651,000 while interest
expense increased approximately $2,434,000.  These changes correspond with
the fact revenues have decreased and interest rates have increased in the
current year.  Other expenses remained relatively comparable between the
quarters.

Net income for the quarter was approximately $4,360,000 or $.32 per share
compared to $6,657,000 or $.45 for the second quarter of fiscal 1994. 

Total revenues were approximately $161,620,000 for the nine months ended
April 30, 1995 compared to $174,084,000 for the nine months ended April 30,
1994.  Interest income increased by 48.2% over the previous year while
decreases in commissions (13.8%), principal transactions (11.2%), and
investment banking (14.5%) resulted in the overall decrease.  These
decreases are attributable to increases in short-term interest rates in the
current year which have created uncertainty in the equity and fixed income
markets.
  
Operating expenses decreased during the first nine months of fiscal 1995 by
approximately $1,232,000 from $134,384,000 in the previous year to
$135,152,000.  Compensation expense decreased approximately $10,783,000
corresponding with the 7.2% decrease in revenues.  Interest expense has
increased approximately $7,197,000 as a result of higher interest rates and
the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary carrying more inventory

throughtout the year.  Communications expenses have increased approximately
$1,520,000 as a result of continued efforts to enhance the branch
communications network.

Year-to-date net income was $1.26 per share for fiscal 1995 compared to
$1.63 per share for the same period of fiscal 1994.


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 to 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, 1995, cash flows from operating activities decreased $49,011,000
compared to a $22,185,000 increase in the same period of fiscal 1994.  This
change was primarily a result of the Registrant's brokerage subsidiary
carrying higher reverse repurchase agreement balances and regulatory
deposits.

Cash flow from financing activities increased by $54,087,000 for the nine
months ended April 30, 1995, compared to a $20,784,000 decrease for the
nine month period ended April 30, 1994.  This increase is related to the
increase in short-term borrowings used to finance higher inventory levels
throughout the period.

Investing activities resulted in a $4,951,000 decrease in cash flows for
the current period compared to a $3,199,000 decrease in the previous fiscal
year.  This decrease is a result of the Registrant's continued commitment
to enhance broker/dealer subsidiary's branch communication network.  The
Registrant has no material commitment for capital expenditures.

At April 30, 1995, the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary, which is
regulated under the SEC's uniform net capital rule, had net capital of
$81,671,499 which was $76,293,818 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.

Also during the quarter, the Registrant continued to its previously
authorized stock repurchase program by buying 292,700 shares for
$4,329,836.  The total repurchased for the year is 686,800 shares at a cost
of $9,348,179.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Registrant's board of directors
declared a three-for-two stock split to be effected as a stock dividend. 
This stock split was to reflect management's optimistic outlook and to make
the Registrant's stock more attractive to institutional investors.

Item 1. Legal proceedings

        On February 2, 1995, the Court in MDL #863 (described previously
        in SEC 10-Q and 10-K filings) gave preliminary approval to the
        settlement of the class action lawsuits and related claims in MDL
        #863, in which Morgan Keegan and Company, Inc. (the Company) was
        one of several named Defendants. The MDL Court established an
        April 14, 1995, deadline for class members to request exclusion
        from this settlement.  While bondholders who have opted out of the
        settlement may continue to assert significant claims, management 
        is of the opinion that this settlement will receive final approval
        of the MDL Court on July 31, 1995, and further, that all remaining
        potential claims are subject to meritorious defenses, and that
        such claims and the Company's portion of the class settlement will
        have no material adverse effective on the Company's results of
        operations or financial condition.

        In addition to the matters described above, the Registrant 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.
