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, 1996 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 April 30, 1996, M.K. & Co. had net capital of
$96,178,473 which was 32% of its aggregate debit balances and $90,151,567 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 for the Registrant increased 58% to a new quarterly record of
$79,297,000 for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 from approximately
$50,147,000 for the quarter ended April 30, 1995.  This record exceeds the
previous quarterly revenue record established in the second quarter of the
current year when revenues were approximately $77,457,000. The increase in
the current quarter versus the same quarter of the previous year is
attributable to increases in principal transactions (48%),investment banking
fees (134%) and commission revenues (66%). Individual investor activity was
at record levels for the Registrant's brokerage subsidiary and throughout the
market with multiple new records set on the Dow during the quarter. 

Operating expenses increased approximately 51% to $65,221,000 as compared to
$43,187,000 in the same period of the previous year.  Employee compensation
expenses rose 64%, accounting for the most significant increase in expenses. 
This increase is proportionate to the increase in revenues for the quarter. 

Net income for the quarter was $.41 per share or approximately $8,576,000
compared to $.22 per share or approximately $4,360,000 in the same period of
the previous fiscal year.

Total revenues for the nine month period ended April 30, 1996 were
$225,694,000 compared to $161,620,000 for the same period in the previous
fiscal year.  This 40% increase is composed of a 55% increase in commissions
and a 40% increase in principal transactions.  Relative market conditions
appear to have stabilized in the current year enhancing bullish market
conditions for both the individual and institutional investors and allowing
the Company to take advantage of the continuing expansions of its branch
office network.

Operating expenses year-to-date increased approximately 36% to $182,471,000
from approximately $134,152,000 one year ago.  Employee compensation
increased approximately 42% and interest expense increased 31%.  Both of
these increases proportionate to the noted increase in revenues for the year.

Results of Operations (continued)

Net income for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 was approximately
$26,623,000 compared to $17,068,000 to the same period in the previous year. 
On a per share basis, the current year earnings equal $1.30 versus $.84 for
the previous year.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

High liquidity is reflected in the Registrant's statement of financial
condition with approximately 95% of the 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 the other payables.  For the nine month period
ended April 30, 1996, cash flows used in operating activities were
$46,743,000 compared to $23,696,000 used in the nine month period ended
April 30, 1995.  The noted change in the current year is relative to the
Registrant's increase in revenues and the level of inventories carried and
customer receivables necessary to satisfy customer demands in the currently
existing bullish market conditions.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $48,427,000 for the nine
months ended April 30, 1996 compared to $28,772,000 for the same period in
the previous period.  The increase was attributed to higher levels of
borrowings (primaily the Registrant's commercial paper), necessary to finance
higher customer borrowings and inventory levels.

Investing activities resulted in a $7,345,000 use of cash flows for the
current period compared to $4,992,000 in the previous year.  These investing
activities are Registrant's continued efforts to upgrade and enhance the
broker/dealer subsidiary's branch communication networks and mainframe
computers system utilized by the Registrant.  Subsequent to the end of the
quarter, Morgan Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant,
purchased the 23 story office building located at 50 North Front Street used
as the Registrant's headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee.  The purchase price
was $20 million and was financed by a 25 year mortgage agreement.

At April 30, 1996, the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary, which is
regulated under the SEC's uniform net capital rule, had net capital of
$96,178,473 which was $90,151,567 in excess of the 2% net capital
requirement.  During the quarter, the Registrant declared and paid dividends
of $.07 per share on the shares outstanding.

The Registrant continued the stock repurchase program begun in November,
1993.  During the quarter, the Registrant repurchased 245,600 for an
aggregate price of $2,947,200.  The Registrant has repurchased 297,700 shares
for an aggregate price of $3,548,050 for the nine month period ended April
30, 1996.  Since the beginning of the repurchase program in 1994, the
Registrant has purchased 3,341,289 shares for $29,673,614.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal proceedings

         The Registrant and its subsidiaries are 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.
