NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries
October 31, 1999
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Morgan Keegan, Inc. and its 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,
1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending July 31, 2000. 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, 1999.
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, 1999, M.K. & Co. had net capital of $137,013,628
which was 22% of its aggregate debit balances and $124,454,522
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 E - OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued in June
1998 its new standard on derivatives - Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".
The new Statement resolves the inconsistencies that existed with
respect to derivatives accounting, and dramatically changes
the way many derivatives transactions and hedged items are
reported. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Registrant has not yet determined the
effect, if any, Statement 133 will have on the earnings
and financial condition of the Registrant.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.
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's revenues increased to $103,035,000 for the
three months ended October 31, 1999, an increase of $6,619,000
(7%) over the three months ended October 31, 1998 when
revenues totaled $96,416,000. The largest components of
this increase included a 51% increase in investment management
fees and a 19% increase in investment banking fees. Compared
to the prior year's stunted equity market activity, investor
sentiment has shown increased interest in equity products.
These increases were offset by an 8% decrease in principal
transactions of fixed income securities.
Operating expenses totaled $91,170,000 for the quarter ended
October 31, 1999 versus $80,370,000 for the same period of
the previous year. Employee compensation increased 8% and
communications expenses increased 21%. The increases were
the result of opening 5 new offices and continued efforts in
upgrading the branch network technology.
Net income for the quarter ended October 31, 1999 was $7,465,000,
or $0.25 per share, versus $9,746,000, or $0.30 per share,
for the same period in the previous year.
Year 2000 Processing Issue
The Year 2000 issue affects the ability of computer systems
to correctly process dates after December 31, 1999. The
Registrant has completed the inventory and assessment phases
of its Year 2000 project plan through an evaluation of
its internal and third party software, as well as its
service providers' computer systems, to determine
their ability to accurately process in the next millennium.
The Registrant has also assessed the Year 2000 status
of its non-information technology systems and equipment
which may contain embedded hardware or software.
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year 2000 Processing Issue (continued)
Having identified and assessed those computer systems,
processes and equipment that require modification, the
Registrant has substantially completed the remediation
and testing phases of its project plan. The Registrant
has completed the remediation and testing of its critical
internal applications systems. In addition to internal
testing, the Registrant actively participated in testing
among securities brokerage firms, securities exchanges,
clearing organizations, and other vendors.
The Registrant is also continuing to communicate with its
remaining vendors and other third parties, including its
landlords and utility supplies, to determine the likely
extent to which the Registrant may be affected by third
parties' Year 2000 plans and target dates.
The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could
result in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain
normal business activities or operations. While the
Registrant does not have a current expectation of any
material loss as a result of the Year 2000 issue, there can
be no assurance that the Registrant's internal systems or
the systems of third parties on which the Registrant relies
will be remediated on a timely basis, or that a failure to
remediate by another party, or a remediation or conversion
that is incompatible with the Registrant's systems, would
not have a material adverse effect on the Registrant. The
Registrant has developed contingency plans in the event that
third parties fail to achieve their Year 2000 plans and
target dates. However, there can be no assurance that
any such contingency plans will fully mitigate the effects
of any such failure.
Based on information currently available, including information
provided by third party vendors, the Registrant expects its
aggregate expenditures for its Year 2000 project plan to be
approximately $1.750 million, of which an estimated $1.6
million has been incurred as of October 31, 1999. A
significant portion of these costs will not be incremental
costs to the Registrant, but rather will represent the
redeployment of existing information technology and
operations resources, primarily to test the remediation
efforts of the Registrant's third party vendors. The
Registrant expects to fund all Year 2000 related costs
through operating cash flows and a reallocation of the
Registrant's overall information technology spending.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
Year 2000 expenditures are expensed as incurred. The
costs of the Registrant's Year 2000 project and the dates
on which the Registrant plans to complete the Year 2000
modifications are based on management's best current estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of
future events, including the continued availability of
certain resources, third party compliance plans and other
factors. However, there can be no assurance that these
estimates will prove correct and actual results could
differ materially from those plans.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries
Liquidity and Capital Resources
High liquidity is reflected in the Registrant's statement
of financial condition with approximately 95% 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 months ended October 31, 1999, cash flows
provided by operating activities were $83,179,000 primarily
due to the lower amount of securities owned at October 31, 1999.
Cash flows used for financing activities were $77,382,000
for the quarter ended October 31, 1999 compared to $96,651,000
cash provided by financing activities for the same period
of the previous year. A significant factor in this use
related to the Registrant repurchasing approximately 2.5
million shares of its outstanding common stock for
$42,751,000 during the quarter.
Cash flows used for investing activities during the quarter
ended October 31, 1999 was $2,903,000 versus $2,616,000 for
the quarter ended October 31, 1998. This investing activity
is the result of the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary
opening 2 new offices during the quarter and the
continued efforts of upgrading and maintaining the computer
network.
At October 31, 1999, the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary,
which is regulated under the SEC's uniform net capital rule,
had net capital of $137,013,628, which was $124,454,522 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.
In November 1993 the Board of Directors authorized a
stock repurchase program. During the quarter ended October
31, 1999, the Registrant repurchased approximately 2.5 million
shares, or 9% of its outstanding common stock. At October
31, 1999, a balance of approximately 300,000 shares remains to
be repurchased under the existing authorization.
