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, 2000,
M.K. & Co. had net capital of $104,385,078 which was 15%
of its aggregate debit balances and $90,886,043 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 issued in June
1998 its new standard on derivatives - Statement No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" (Statement 133).  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
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.

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
olatile 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-level revenues and
net income for the quarter ended January 31, 2000.
Revenues totaled $126,369,000 for the quarter
surpassing the previous record of $120,500,000 in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.  The current quarter
revenues exceeded revenues for the same period of
the previous year by $19,203,000, or 18%, when
revenues totaled $107,166,000.  The largest components
of this increase were in commission revenues that
increased 33% and a 39% increase in investment management
advisory fees.  Margin interest income increased by 71%.
These increases are attributable to the increase in
retail activity for the quarter.

Operating expenses were $105,873,000 for the quarter
ended January 31, 2000 or 20% higher than the $87,928,000
recognized in the same period of the previous year.
The largest component of this increase was employee
compensation that increased 15% to $63,923,000.
This increase is relative to the increase noted
in revenues for the quarter.

Net income for the quarter was $12,796,000 versus
the previous quarterly record set in January 1998
when net income was $12,788,000.  Net income for the
quarter ended January 31, 1999 was $11,738,000.  Income
 per share was $0.44 which was 22% above January 31, 1999
quarter of $0.36.

Total revenue for the six-month period ended January
31, 2000 was $229,404,000 or 13% higher than the
same period in the previous fiscal year.  The most
significant increases relate to commissions on mutual
funds and annuities that increased 38% and commissions on
 over-the-counter securities that increased 24%.
Interest income on customer margin balance increased
46% over the same period in the previous year.

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

MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries

Results of Operations (continued)

Operating expenses totaled $197,043,000 for the six
months ended January 31, 2000 compared to $168,299,000
for the six months ended January 31, 1999.  The largest
 component of this increase was for employee compensation
expenses which increased 12%.  Interest expense
increased by 46% as interest rates have edged upward
over the last year. Several new branch offices have begun
operations during this fiscal year adding additional
operating expenses.

Net income for the six months ended January 31, 2000
was $20,261,000 compared to $21,484,000 in the same
six months of fiscal 1999.  Earnings per share year-to-date
for the current year were $0.68 versus $0.66 for
the previous year, representing the benefits of the stock
buy back.

Year 2000 Processing Issue

The Year 2000 issue affects the ability of computer systems
to correctly process dates after December 31, 1999.  All
work regarding this issue has been completed by the
Registrant and no operating problems related to the Year
2000 have been encountered by the Registrant or in its
interaction with vendors and customers.  The aggregate
expenditures related to its Year 2000 project were
approximately $1.750 million.  A significant portion of
these costs were not 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
funds 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 were expensed as incurred.

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 six months ended January 31, 2000 cash flows
provided by operating activities were $181,075,000
primarily due to a $119,889,000 increase in
securities sold, not yet purchased.

Cash flows used for financing activities were
$167,889,000 for the six months ended January 31,
2000 compared to cash flows provided by
operating activities of $140,692,000 for the six
months ended January 31, 1999.  The largest
components of this change include a $141,063,000
increase in reverse repurchase agreements and a
$73,799,000 decrease in repurchase agreements as
compared to the six-month period in fiscal 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)


Cash flows used for investing activities during the
six months ended January 31, 2000 were $5,476,000 compared
to $4,957,000.  This investing activity is the result of
continued efforts to upgrade and maintain the
Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary's branch network.

The Registrant continued its stock buy back program
with the shares purchased during the current fiscal year
being more than 3.6 million and the total cost being
$60,896,000.  Management contemplates continuing to buy
back shares but at a slower pace over the remainder of
the fiscal year.
