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, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending July 31, 1996.  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, 1995.


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 October 31, 1995, M.K. & Co. had net capital of
$90,724,037 which was 32% of its aggregate debit balances and $85,044,409 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

The Registrant recognized record revenues of approximately $68,940,000 for
the quarter ended October 31, 1995.  This was a 23% increase over the
previous year's first quarter revenues of approximately $56,206,000.  For the
quarter, commissions increased 52% and principal transactions increased 35%
over the same period of the previous year.  These increases are the result of
higher volume of retail business coinciding with branch office expansion
during the last few years.

Operating expenses for the quarter were approximately $54,710,000 or 21%
higher compared to approximately $45,235,000 for the same period in the
previous year.  The largest component of this increase was employee
compensation which increased 24% over the previous year.  This increase is in
direct relation to the increase in revenues.

Net income for the quarter rose to a record level of approximately $8,830,000
or $0.44 per share surpassing the previous firm record of approximately
$8,810,000 or $0.40 per share set in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  Net
income exceeded the same period of fiscal 1995's net income of approximately
$6,771,000 or $0.33 per share by 30%.  These results come from management's
continued emphasis on long-term growth and expansion of the retail branch
system.  Favorable market conditions were enhanced during the quarter as
interest rates leveled off after almost a year of interest rate swings.

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, repurchase
agreements and other payables.  For the three month period ended October 31,
1995, cash flows from operating activities decreased $79,386,000 compared
with a decrease of $2,751,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1994. 
The change resulted primarily from an increase in the level of inventory
carried to service the Registrant's customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

Cash flows from financing activities increased $70,379,000 for the three
month period ended October 31, 1995 compared with an increase of $24,924,000
in the same period of the previous year.  The increase was a result of the
increase in short-term borrowings used to offset the operating effect of the
increases in the receivables from brokers and dealers and clearing
organizations and receivable from customers.

Investing activities resulted in a $1,572,000 decrease in cash flows of the
current period compared to a $1,859,000 decrease in the previous period. 
This is primarily due to the continued efforts to implement upgrades to the
branch office network system and the implementation of a new
telecommunications system.

At October 31, 1995, the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary, which is
regulated under the SEC's uniform net capital rule, had net capital of
$90,724,037 which was $85,044,409 in excess of the 2% net capital
requirement.  During the quarter, the Registrant declared and paid cash
dividends of $0.06 per share on the shares outstanding.

The Registrant continued the stock repurchase program begun in November,
1993.  During the quarter, the Registrant repurchased 43,600 shares for an
aggregate price of $503,100.  Since the beginning of the repurchase program
in 1994, the Registrant has purchased 3,087,189 shares for $26,628,664.
