NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries
April 30, 2000
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 and nine months
ended April 30, 2000, 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 April 30, 2000, M.K. & Co. had net capital
of $124,975,514 which was 17% of its aggregate debit
balances and $110,312,042 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.

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 recognized record-level revenues, net
income and earnings per share for the quarter ended
April 30, 2000. Revenues totaled $141,808,000 for the
quarter surpassing the previous record of $126,369,000
set in the second quarter of the current year. Current
quarter revenues exceeded the same period of the
previous year by $27,280,000, an increase of 24%, when
revenues totaled $114,528,000. The largest components
of this increase were in commission revenues (40% increase)
and investment banking (82% increase). Commission revenues
increased as a result of the increase in retail activity
for the quarter and investment banking revenues increased
primarily due to mergers and acquisitions fee based business.
Operating expenses were $117,717,000 for the quarter ended
April 30, 2000 versus $94,828,000 for the quarter ended
April 30, 1999. The largest component of this increase
was employee compensation that increased 22% to $73,216,000.
This increase is in direct proportion to the noted increase
in revenues.
Net income for the quarter was $14,891,000 exceeding the
Registrant's previous net income record set in the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 when net income totaled $12,796,000.
Net income for the quarter ended April 30, 1999 totaled
$12,200,000. Income per share was $0.52 and $0.38 for the
quarters ended April 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Total revenue for the nine-months ended April 30, 2000 was
$371,212,000, or 17% higher than the same period of the
previous year, when revenues totaled $318,110,000. The
largest components of this increase were commissions
(26% increase) and investment banking revenues (35% increase).
Changes in investor sentiment throughout the year, as noted
in the range of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (11,750 to
9,732), along with the Registrant's efforts to continue to
grow its retail business segment, gave rise to the noted
increase.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries
Results of Operations (continued)
Operating expenses totaled $314,759,000 for the nine-months
ended April 30, 2000 compared to $263,126,000 for the
nine-months ended April 30, 1999. The largest component
of this increase was for employee compensation that
increased 15% over the same period of the prior year.
Net income for the nine months ended April 30, 2000
totaled $35,153,000 versus $33,684,000 for the nine
months ended April 30, 1999. Earnings per share
total $1.19 and $1.04 year-to-date through April
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
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 nine months ended April 30, 2000 cash flows
provided by operating activities were $144,889,000
primarily due to a $114,140,000 increase in the
balance payable to customers.
Cash flows used for financing activities were $130,153,000
for the nine months ended April 30, 2000 compared to cash
flows provided by financing activities of $234,574,000 for
the nine months ended April 30, 1999. The largest
components of this change include a $71,460,000 increase
in securities sold under agreement to resell and a
$47,772,000 decrease in securities sold under agreements
to repurchase compared to the balances at July 31, 1999.
Cash flows used for investing activities during the nine
months ended April 30, 2000 were $7,379,000. This investing
activity is a continuation of the Registrant's efforts
to upgrade and maintain the broker/dealer subsidiary's
branch network.
The Registrant continued its stock buy back program
with the shares purchased during the current fiscal year
totaling more than 4.1 million shares at a cost of
$68,220,000. Management continued the stock buy
back throughout the quarter at slower rate than was
used in the first six months of the fiscal year
when 3.6 million shares were purchased. Management
expects to continue to repurchase the stock at the
slower rate utilized during the third quarter whenever
it is economically feasible to do so.
