NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries

January 31, 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
includeall 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, 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, 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,
1995, M.K. & Co. had net capital of $82,987,947 which was 34% of its aggregate
debit balances and $78,086,640 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 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 second quarter $4,858,000 or 8.1%
below the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  A 47.5% increase in interest
income was offset by a 17.6% decrease in principal transactions and a 11.2%
decrease in commissions.  These decreases are attributable to the increase
in short-term interest rates causing uncertainty in both the fixed income
and equity markets.

Operating expenses decreased approximately $85,000 or less than
1% below the same period of the previous year.  Interest expense increased
approximately $3,073,000 or 89.8% over the previous year amount. 
Employee compensation for the quarter decreased approximately $3,240,000
or 10.3% and is in direct proportion with the decrease in revenues.
 
Net income for the quarter was approximately $5,937,000 or $.44
per share compared to $8,810,000 or $.60 for the second quarter of fiscal
1994. 

Total revenues were approximately $111,474,000 for the six months
ended January, 1995 compared to $117,789,000 for the six months ended
January 1994.  Increases of 18.6% in investment banking and 43.6% in
interest income were negated by decreases of 14.6% in commissions and
17.3% in principal transactions.  As noted for the quarter, changes in
short-term interest rates created uncertainty in the fixed income and equity
markets.

Operating expenses increased for the first half of fiscal 1995 by
approximately $1,219,000 or 1.4% over the first half of fiscal
1994.  The largest components of the increase were communications expenses
(16.9% increase) and interest expense(74.1% increase).   Communications
expenses increased as a result of our continuing efforts to enhance our
branch communications network.  Interest expense increased relative to
the increase in interest rates and the level of proprietary inventory
carried to meet the needs of our customers.

Year-to-date net income was $.94 per share for fiscal 1995
compared to $1.18 per share for the same period of fiscal 1994.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
     OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries


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
Registant's equity capital, commercial paper, repurchase transactions,
short-term borrowings, and customer and broker payables.  For the six months
ended January 31, 1995, cash flows from operating activities decreased
$834,000 compared to a decrease of  $28,150,000 for the same period of
fiscal 1994.
 
The biggest factor in the change from the same six month period
in the previous year was the result of the Registrant's efforts to lower
securities inventory since the changes in financial markets
during the third quarter of fiscal 1994.

Cash flow from financing activities increased by $2,395,000 for
the six months ended January 31, 1995 compared to an increase of
$29,752,000 for the six month period ended January 31, 1994.  The smaller change
for 1995 resulted from less fluctuation in short-term borrowings which
remained fairly stable for the six month period.

Investing activities resulted in a $3,366,000 decrease in cash
flows for the current period compared to a $2,293,000 decrease in the
previous fiscal year.  This decrease is a result of the Registrant's continued
commitment to enhance the branch communications network.

At January 31, 1995, the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary,
which is regulated under the SEC's uniform net capital rule, had net
capital of $82,987,947 which was $78,086,640 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 217,200 shares for
$2,759,323.  The total repurchased for the year is 394,100 shares
at a cost of $5,018,343.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries

Item 1.  Legal proceedings

On February 1, 1995, the Court in In Re Taxable Municipal
BondSecurities Litigation, MDL 863 ("the MDL") approved, subject
to certain conditions, the class settlement of the MDL.  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, 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.
