Because of the interdependence of various activities and
departments of the Registrant's business, and the arbitrary
assumptions involved in allocating overhead, including
administrative, communications and securities processing
expenses, it is not possible to state the percentage
contribution to net income of each aspect of the Registrant's
operation.
Institutional Business
During the three years ended July 31, 1994, approximately 32%
of the Registrant's total consolidated revenues were derived
from institutional clients. M.K. & Co. institutional clients
include mutual funds, commercial banks, thrift institutions,
insurance companies, pension funds and private money managers.
Most of these clients are located in the United States; however,
some are located abroad, principally in the United Kingdom and
Canada. In the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994, no single
institutional client accounted for more than 2% of the
Registrant's total revenues. M.K. & Co. institutional clients
purchase or sell fixed income and equity securities primarily in
large dollar amounts; transactions in these securities are
usually executed for these clients on a principal basis. See
PRINCIPAL TRANSACTIONS. M.K. & CO. also provides other
services, including research, to its institutional clients.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992,
institutional revenues and percentages of total revenues were
$72,774,000 (31%), $66,748,000 (32%) and $62,315,000 (34%)
respectively.
Retail Business
During each of the three years ended July 31, 1994,
approximately 41% of the Registrant's total revenues were
derived from transactions with retail (individual) customers.
For the fiscal years ended July 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, such
revenues of total consolidated revenues were $95,576,000,
$86,001,000 and $74,219,000 respectively.
Retail commissions are charged on both exchange and
over-the-counter transactions in accordance with a schedule
which M.K. & Co. has formulated. In certain cases, discounts
from the schedule are granted to retail customers, generally on
large trades or to active customers. In addition to acting as a
broker/dealer for its retail customers, M.K. & Co. supplies them
with equity and fixed income research, conducts seminars and
makes available personal financial planning services.
Transactions in securities may be executed on either a cash or
margin basis. As a service to its retail customers, M.K. & Co.
provides margin accounts which allow the customer to pay less
than the full cost of a security purchased, the balance of the
purchase price being provided by M.K. & Co. as a loan secured by
the securities purchased. The amount of the loan is subject to
the margin requirements (Regulation T) of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, NYSE margin requirements, and
M.K. & Co. internal policies, which in some instances are more
stringent than Regulation T or exchange requirements. In
permitting customers to purchase securities on margin, M.K. &
Co. bears the risk of a market decline which could reduce the
value of its collateral below the customers' indebtedness.
Interest charged on customer margin accounts represented
approximately 4.7% of total revenues in fiscal 1994.
Principal Transactions
M.K. & Co. trades for its own account in corporate and
tax-exempt securities and U.S. government, agency and guaranteed
securities. Most of these transactions are entered into in
order to facilitate the execution of customers' orders to buy or
sell these securities. In addition, it trades certain equity
securities in order to "make a market" in these securities. As
of July 31, 1994, the Registrant made a market in common stock
or other equity securities of approximately 113 corporations,
the majority of which are stocks followed by its research
department.
M.K. & Co. trading activities require the commitment of capital.
All principal transactions place the Registrant's capital at
risk. Profits and losses are dependent upon the skills of
employees and market fluctuations. The following table sets
forth for the year ended July 31, 1994, the highest, lowest and
average month-end inventories (including the aggregate of both
long and short positions) for the types of securities in which
M.K. & Co. acts as principal:

Item I. BUSINESS (Continued)
M.K. & Co. participates in selling groups organized to
distribute new issues of securities of the Federal Home Loan
Bank, the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal Farm Credit Bank and
the Student Loan Mortgage Association. The following table sets
forth selling group participations of M.K. & Co. in
distributions of agency securities:
Year Ended Number Amount of
July 31 Issues Participations
1994 70 $566,630,000
1993 81 690,705,000
1992 99 963,215,000
1991 102 707,850,000
1990 98 679,730,000
Repurchase Transactions
M.K. & Co. engages in repurchase transactions primarily to
facilitate the sale of U.S. government, agency and guaranteed
securities. A repurchase transaction is the sale of a security
coupled with an agreement by the seller to repurchase the
security at the sale price. A reverse repurchase transaction is
the purchase of the security with an agreement to resell it.
M.K. & Co. repurchase transactions are generally matched in
order to minimize the risk of loss due to fluctuation in the
underlying securities prices. In a matched repurchase
transaction, M.K. & Co. will simultaneously engage in a
repurchase transaction and a reverse repurchase transaction
covering the same security. The other party to a matched
repurchase agreement looks to M.K. & Co. for delivery of the
securities or repurchase of the securities, as the case may be.
M.K. & Co. takes a risk that it will be obligated to perform
whether or not the other party performs. M.K. & Co. attempts to
minimize this risk by dealing with those deemed credit worthy.
Although repurchase transactions are structured as sales,
courts recently have treated them as financing transactions,
that is, loans collateralized by securities. Because of this
uncertain nature of the transaction, it is M.K. & Co.'s practice
to take steps to perfect a security interest in the securities
to protect itself if a transaction were deemed a loan. In
repurchase transactions M.K. & Co. bears the risk that the other
party to the transaction will fail to perform its obligation to
repurchase the securities (repay the loan) or to deliver the
securities purchased (return the collateral). In such event,
M.K. & Co. could incur a loss equal to the difference between
the price to be paid for the securities and their market value
at the repurchase date. If the transaction is deemed to be a
loan and should M.K. & Co. fail to take possession of the
securities acquired by it in such a transaction, or otherwise
fail to perfect a security interest in them, the loss could be
equal to the full repurchase price.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
As a securities broker/dealer, M.K. & Co. is engaged in various
securities trading and brokerage activities servicing a diverse
group of domestic and foreign corporations, governments,
institutional and retail (individual) investors. A substantial
portion of M.K. & Co. transactions are collateralized and are
executed with and on behalf of institutional investors including
other broker/dealers, commercial banks, insurance companies,
pension plans, mutual funds and other financial institutions.
M.K. & Co.'s exposure to credit risk associated with the
non-performance of these customers in fulfilling their
contractual obligations pursuant to securities and commodities
transactions, can be directly impacted by volatile trading
markets which may impair the customers' ability to perform.
M.K. & Co. principal activities are also subject to the risk of
counterpart non-performance.
In connection with these activities, particularly in U.S.
government and agency securities, M.K. & Co. enters into
collateralized reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements,
securities lending arrangements and certain other secured
transactions which may result in significant credit exposure in
the event the counterparty to the transaction was unable to
fulfill their contractual obligations. In accordance with
industry practice, repurchase agreements and securities
borrowing arrangements are generally collateralized by cash or
securities with a market value in excess of the obligation under
the contract. M.K. & Co. attempts to minimize credit risk
associated with these activities by monitoring customer credit
exposure and collateral values on a daily basis and requiring
additional collateral to be deposited when necessary. M.K. &
Co. participates in the trading of some derivative securities
for its customers which is not a major portion of its business.
Investment Banking
M.K. & Co. participates in corporate and tax-exempt securities
distributions as a member of an underwriting syndicate or a
member of a selling group. Tax-exempt securities are
obligations issued by state and municipal governments,
hospitals, public utility systems and industrial development
authorities. M.K. & Co. underwriting activities, together with
its selling group participations, are important as a source of
securities for sale to its customers. The following table sets
forth corporate and tax-exempt underwriting syndicate
participations of the subsidiary:
CORPORATE TAX-EXEMPT
Year Ended Number of Amount of Number of Amount of
July 31 Issues Participations Issues Participations
1994 330 $774,651,373 159 $312,056,000

1990 149 187,539,000 118 181,265,000
Participation in an underwriting syndicate or a selling group
involves both economic and regulatory risks. A participant may
incur losses if it is unable to resell the securities it has
committed to purchase, or if it is forced to liquidate its
commitment at less than the agreed purchase price. In addition,
under federal securities laws, other statutes and court
decisions, a participant may be subject to substantial liability
for material misstatements or omissions in prospectuses and
other communications with respect to such offerings. Further,
underwriting commitments involve a charge against net capital
and the ability to make underwriting commitments may be limited
by the requirement that it must at all times be in compliance
with the net capital rule. See Note 10 - Regulatory
Requirements - on page 21 of the 1994 Annual Report to
Shareholders.
In addition to its underwriting and selling group activities,
M.K. & Co. engages in structuring, managing and marketing
private offerings of corporate and tax-exempt securities, and
assists in arranging mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and
venture capital financing. M.K. & Co. provides valuation and
financial consulting services for gift and estate tax purposes,
employee stock ownership trusts, mergers, acquisitions, stock
purchase agreements and other corporate purposes, as well as
valuations for private companies in the process of going public.
Other services include long-range financial planning, financial
public relations and cash management services. The Registrant's
subsidiary, Merchant Banking, Inc. which serves as a general
partner in a limited partnership, Morgan Keegan Merchant Banking
Fund Limited Partnership, which currently has approximately
$5,000,000 in assets and is engaged in merchant banking
activities.
Other Products
M.K. & Co. offers special products, including insurance
products and interests in various tax advantaged investments.
Such tax advantaged investments are generally in the form of
limited partnership interests in real estate, oil drilling, or
similar ventures. Neither the Registrant nor the broker/dealer
acts as the general partner for such partnerships. Morgan
Keegan Managed Futures, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Registrant, act as general partner to the Southern Capital
Enhanced Equity Fund Limited Partnership, (the "Fund"), an
investment limited partnership. The Fund seeks substantial
capital appreciation through investing approximately 80% of its
assets in growth stocks and the remaining assets in a stock
index futures trading program.
M.K. & Co. is a distributor of shares of Bedford Money Market
Fund, a money market mutual fund whose shares are sold without a
sales charge. The fund is managed by Provident Institutional
Management Corporation. M.K. & Co. also sells shares in unit
investment trusts which hold portfolios of tax-exempt bonds, and
as a service to its customers, offers shares of various mutual
funds including those of Southern Capital Fund. This fund,
which invests primarily in equity securities of companies
located in the southern United States, is a mutual fund managed
by Morgan Asset Management, Inc., a subsidiary of the
Registrant, and is solely distributed by M.K. & Co. Also, M.K.
& Co. acts as a broker in the purchase and sale of put and call
options on the CBOE, AMEX and other exchanges.
Research Services
M.K. & Co.'s research services include the review and analysis
of the economy, general market conditions, industries and
specific companies; recommendation of specific action with
regard to industries and specific companies; review of customer
portfolios; furnishing of information to retail and
institutional customers; and responses to inquiries from
customers and account executives. These services are made
available generally without charge to customers.
Administration and Operations
Administrative and operations personnel are responsible for the
execution of orders; processing of securities transactions;
receipt, identification and delivery of funds and securities;
internal financial control; accounting functions; office
services; custody of customers' securities; and compliance with
regulatory requirements.
There is considerable fluctuation in the volume of transactions
which a securities firm must handle. In the past, when the
volume of trading in securities reached record levels, the
securities industry experienced serious operating problems.
M.K. & Co. has never experienced any significant operating
difficulties, even during periods of exceptionally heavy
trading. There is, however, no assurance that heavy trading
volume in the future will not result in clearing and processing
difficulties.
The following table sets forth high, low and average monthly
purchase and sale transactions processed by M.K. & Co:
Year Ended Number of Transactions
July 31 High Low Average
1994 56,859 38,457 43,340
1993 43,544 28,358 36,584
1992 40,019 24,847 31,344
1991 29,898 15,925 22,894
1990 23,072 16,027 19,314
M.K. & Co. uses its own electronic data processing equipment to
process orders and floor reports, transmit execution reports to
its branches, and record all data pertinent to trades. It also
clears its own securities transactions.
M.K. & Co. believes that its internal controls and safeguards
against securities theft, including use of depositories and
periodic securities counts, are adequate. As required by the
NYSE and certain other authorities, M.K. & Co. carries fidelity
bonds covering any loss or theft of securities, as well as
embezzlement and forgery. The amount of such bonds, which
provide total coverage of $15,000,000 (with $500,000 deductible
provision per incident) is considered adequate.
M.K. & Co. posts its books and records daily and believes they
are accurate. Periodic reviews of certain controls are
conducted, and administrative and operations personnel meet
frequently with management to review operational conditions in
the firm. Operations personnel monitor day to day operations to
assure compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Employees
As of July 31, 1994, the M.K. & Co. had 1,218 employees, 492 of
whom were account executives, 536 of whom were engaged in other
service areas, including trading, research and investment
banking, and 190 of whom were employed in accounting, clearing
and processing, management and other activities.
In large part, the Registrant's future success is dependent upon
its subsidiary's continuing ability to hire, train and retain
qualified account executives. During the fiscal year ended July
31, 1994, M.K. & Co. hired 107 account executives for a net
increase of 54 over the beginning of the fiscal year. M.K. &
Co. trains new account executives who are required to take
examinations given by the NYSE, the NASD and certain state
securities regulators in order to be registered and qualified.
M.K. & Co. also provides continuing training programs for
account executives. Competition is intense among securities
firms for account executives with good sales production records.
M.K. & Co. considers its employee relations to be good and
considers compensation and employee benefits offered which
include medical, life and disability insurance, 401-K retirement
plan and a discounted stock purchase plan, to be competitive
with those offered by other securities firms.
Regulation
The securities industry in the United States is subject to
extensive regulation under federal and state laws. The SEC is
the federal agency charged with administration of the federal
securities laws. Much of the regulation of broker/dealers,
however, has been delegated to self-regulatory organizations,
principally the NASD and the national securities exchanges.
These self-regulatory organizations adopt rules (which are
subject to approval by the SEC) which govern the industry and
conduct periodic examinations of member broker/dealers.
Securities firms are also subject to regulation by state
securities commissions in the states in which they are
registered. M.K. & Co. is registered in 50 states.
The regulations to which broker/dealers are subject cover all
aspects of the securities business, including sales methods,
trade practices among broker/dealers, capital structure of
securities firms, uses and safekeeping of customers' funds and
securities, recordkeeping, and the conduct of directors,
officers and employees. Additional legislation, changes in
rules promulgated by the SEC and by self-regulatory
organizations, or changes in interpretation or enforcement of
existing laws and rules, often affect directly the method of
operation and profitability of broker/dealers. The SEC and the
self-regulatory organizations may conduct administrative
proceedings which can result in censure, fines, suspension or
expulsion of a broker/dealer, its officers or employees. The
principal purpose of regulation and discipline of broker/dealers
is the protection of customer and the securities market rather
than the protection of creditors and stockholders of
broker/dealers.
One of the most important regulations with which the
Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary must continually comply is
the "net capital rule" of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and a similar rule of the New York Stock Exchange. These rules,
under the alternative method, prohibit a broker/dealer from
engaging in any securities transactions at a time when its net
capital is less than 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from
customer transactions; in addition, restrictions may be imposed
on the operations of a broker/dealer if its net capital is less
than 5% of aggregate debit items. At July 31, 1994, the
Registrant's subsidiary's net capital was 45% of aggregate debit
items. See Note 10 - Regulatory Requirements - page 21 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 1994 Annual Report
to Shareholders.
The laws, rules and regulations of the various federal, state
and other regulatory bodies to which the business of the
Registrant is subject are constantly changing. While management
believes that it is currently in compliance in all material
respects with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to its
business, it cannot predict what effect any such changes might
have.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
The Registrant's headquarters occupy approximately 108,000
square feet in Morgan Keegan Tower in Memphis, Tennessee. All
of the Registrant's offices are leased. See Note 4 - Leases on
page 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the
1994 Annual Report to Shareholders.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On August 31, 1994, the Court in In Re Taxable Municipal Bond
Securities Litigation, MDL 863 ("the MDL") gave tentative
approval to a class settlement of $21.2 million to be paid by
the Underwriters in all taxable bond syndicates involved in the
MDL and certain other defendants. The MDL was previously
described in prior Form 10-Q and Form 10-K SEC filings. The
Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary, Morgan Keegan & Company,
Inc. ("M.K. & Co."), is responsible for a small percentage of
the settlement, and while the settlement is subject to a number
of pre-conditions, including final approval by the Court,
management is of the opinion that the litigation will be
effectively settled and that such a settlement will have no
material adverse effect on M.K. & Co.'s results of operations or
financial condition. In the event a settlement is not achieved,
management is of the opinion that it has meritorious defenses
and has advised its counsel to vigorously defend all claims
arising from the MDL.
In addition to the matters described above, M.K. & Co. is
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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
General Business Environment. Morgan Keegan, Inc. (the
"Company") operates a full service regional brokerage business
through its principal subsidiary, Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc.
The Company is involved in the origination, underwriting,
distribution, trading and brokerage of fixed income and equity
securities and also provides investment advisory services. While
the Company regularly participates in the trading of some
derivative securities for its customers, this trading is not a
major portion of the Company's business. The Company is not
involved with high yield securities, bridge loan financing, or
any other ventures that management feels may not be appropriate
for the Company's strategic approach.
Many factors affect the Company's revenues including changes in
economic conditions, investor sentiment, the level and
volatility of interest rates, inflation, political events and
competition. As these factors are beyond the Company's control,
and certain expenses are relatively fixed, earnings can
significantly vary from year to year regardless of management's
efforts to enhance revenue and control costs.
Results of Operations. For the fourth consecutive year, the
Company achieved record revenues, record net earnings and record
earnings per share. For fiscal 1994, the Company's revenues rose
$22,525,000 or 11% to $231,720,000. The increase in revenues for
fiscal 1993 was $26,531,000 or 15%. Favorable conditions in the
securities industry prevailed for all of fiscal 1993 and into
the third quarter of fiscal 1994. Record underwriting levels,
increased commission revenues and strong trading profits
prevailed during that period. In the third quarter of fiscal
1994, interest rates began to rise, depressing stock and bond
prices and adversely impacting commissions and trading profits.
Investment banking revenues increased $26,554,000 or 91% which
was the primary component of the increased revenues for fiscal
1994. Outstanding efforts by the investment bankers resulted in
substantial investment banking revenues from underwriting stocks
of companies such as real estate investment trusts which
continued the strong performance through the third and fourth
quarters even after the market had turned for many firms.
In fiscal 1994, revenue from principal transactions declined
$13,711,000 or 13%. This followed a $14,347,000 or 16% increase
in the previous year. The decline is attributed to the drop in
prices resulting in lower volume and trading losses during the
third quarter. Interest income increased 26% or $5,220,000 for
fiscal 1994, following a $1,024,000 or 5% increase in fiscal
1993. Most of the increase stemmed from higher borrowings in
customer margin accounts for the entire year. Other income
increased by $1,664,000 or 12%, representing the Company's
continued commitment to expand its fee based investment advisory
business. The current year's increase was added to the strong
base contributed in 1993 when other income increased $5,835,000
or 77%, of which
a large part was generated by Cumberland Securities Company,
Inc., a recent acquisition.
Operating expenses increased 13% in fiscal 1994, from
$159,493,000 to $180,079,000. Approximately 75% of the increase
was compensation which rose from $109,748,000 to $125,205,000 or
14%. The increase closely corresponds to the 11% increase in
revenues but also includes an increase in fixed expenses due to
the Capitol acquisition and the opening of several new branch
offices. Floor brokerage expenses and other operating expenses
declined 27% and 20% respectively due to efficiencies derived
from management's continued cost cutting efforts. Other expense
categories increased moderately but were primarily in line with
the higher levels of volume for most of the year.
Operating expenses increased 14% in fiscal 1993, from
$140,473,000 to $159,493,000. Approximately 80% of the total
dollar increase was compensation, which increased from
$94,348,000 to $109,748,000. The 16% increase in compensation
closely corresponds to the 15% increase in revenues.
Communications expense increased $2,221,000 or 23% from
$9,791,000 to $12,012,000. A large part of this increase was due
to the installation of a new state-of-the-art personal
computer-based communication and quotation system completed near
the beginning of fiscal 1993.
Earnings per share for fiscal 1994 were $2.19 per share, which
was $.02 more than the $2.17 earnings for fiscal 1993. The
strong market performance for the first 21/2 quarters, coupled
with the entire year's investment banking performance offset the
lower commissions and trading losses incurred in the last
quarter and a half, allowing the Company to post a record year
in spite of some difficult market conditions. It is impossible
to determine how long the difficult markets might continue;
however, the Company plans to build its branch office network
and continue to grow for the long term.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's assets are highly
liquid, consisting mainly of cash or assets readily convertible
into cash. These assets are financed by the Company's equity
capital, short-term bank loans, commercial paper and other
payables. Changes in the amount of securities owned by the
Company and customer and broker receivables affect directly the
amount of the Company's financing requirements.
Total assets of the Company were $43,925,000 higher at July 31,
1994, than July 31, 1993, primarily due to increases in
receivables from customers of $80,131,000 offset by decreases in
securities owned of $22,114,000 and securities purchased under
agreements to resell of $25,827,000. The decrease in securities
owned was primarily to manage and reduce the Company's risk as
of the end of the year in a difficult market.
Liabilities increased $24,895,000 from $420,749,000 to
$445,644,000, primarily con-tributing to the increase in
payables to customers of $63,933,000 and a decrease in
securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $16,625,000.
The increase in customer payables correlated closely with
customer receivables.
Cash used in financing activities increased from $1,806,000 for
fiscal 1993 to $67,860,000 for fiscal 1994. The cash provided
from operating activities allowed a significant reduction in the
Company's short-term borrowings. Also during the year the board
approved a stock repurchase plan and repurchased approximately
1,340,000 shares for $16,778,000.
Cash used in investing activities remained about the same for
fiscal 1994 and 1993. The primary expenditure was the
installation of the communication and quotation system as
previously discussed.
During fiscal 1993, the Board of Directors authorized a
three-for-two stock split. This followed two stock splits in
fiscal 1992; one four-for-three, followed by a three-for-two.
The splits were to allow the shareholders to participate in the
outstanding years and to make the stock more attractive to
investors.
The Company's broker-dealer subsidiary is subject to
requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange relating to
liquidity and capital standards. It has historically operated
well in excess of the minimum requirements. At July 31, 1994,
the net capital of the Company's broker-dealer subsidiary
exceeded the SEC's minimum requirements by more than
$84,000,000, which is up from $72,000,000 at the end of last
year. Continued expansion is not expected to have a
significantly adverse impact on liquidity or capital. Funds
available from operations and lines of credit should provide
sufficient sources to meet capital needs of the foreseeable
future.
Effects of Inflation. The Company's assets are primarily
monetary, consisting of cash, assets convertible into cash,
securities and owned and receivables. Because of their
liquidity, these assets are not significantly affected by
inflation. Management believes that replacement costs of
furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements will not
materially affect operations. However, the rate of inflation
affects the Company's expenses, such as those for employee
compensation and communications, which may not be readily
recoverable in the price of services offered by the Company.
The table below summarizes the changes in the major categories
of revenues and expenses for the past three (3) years.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Morgan Keegan, Inc., and Subsidiaries
July 31, 1994
NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Morgan Keegan, Inc. and its subsidiaries
(collectively referred to as the Company). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The Company is in one principal line of business,
that of providing investment services.
Financial Assets and Liabilities: Substantially all of the
Company's financial assets and liabilities are carried at market
value or at amounts which because of the short-term nature of
the financial instruments, approximate current fair value.
Securities Transactions: Securities transactions and related
commission revenue and expense are recorded on a settlement date
basis, generally the fifth business day following the
transaction date, which is not materially different from a trade
date basis.
Securities: Securities owned are carried at market value and
unrealized gains and losses are reflected in revenues.
Investment Banking: Management fees on investment banking
transactions and selling concessions are recorded on settlement
date, which is not materially different from a trade date basis.
Underwriting fees are generally recorded on the date the
underwriting syndicate is closed.
Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements: Furniture,
equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Reverse Repurchase and Repurchase Agreements: Securities
purchased under agreements to resell (Reverse Repurchase
Agreements) and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
(Repurchase Agreements) are carried at the amounts at which the
securities will be subsequently resold or reacquired as
specified in the respective agreements. Government securities
segregated in a special reserve bank account for the benefit of
customers under rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission relate to a Reverse Repurchase Agreement of
$35,701,000 and $38,801,000 at July 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
Income Taxes: The parent and its subsidiaries file a
consolidated income tax return. Deferred income taxes reflect
the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Effective August 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of
accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the
liability method required by Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." As
permitted under the new rules, prior years' financial statements
have not been restated. The initial adoption of the statement
did not have a material effect on financial position, results of
operations, or liquidity.
Net Income Per Share: Net income per share is computed based on
the weighted average number of shares outstanding including
shares issuable under stock options, when dilutive. All earnings
per share data included in the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto have been adjusted to give effect to all stock
splits.
Accounts with Customers: Accounts with customers include amounts
arising from uncompleted transactions and margin balances.
Securities which are owned by customers but held as collateral
for receivables from customers are not included in the
consolidated financial statements .
Restricted Stock: Amortization of restricted stock is provided
on the straight-line basis over the life of the restriction
which is four or five years.
NOTE 2 SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Short-term borrowings represent bank loans payable on demand
used to finance clearance of securities and to carry customers'
margin accounts. These notes bear interest at the broker loan
rate, which was 5% at July 31, 1994. The notes were
collateralized by securities with approximate market values as
follows, in thousands.
July 31 1994 1993
Firm-owned securities $55,173 $177,183
Customer-owned
securities 0 24,401
$55,173 $201,584
The Company also issues its own commercial paper to investors at
fluctuating interest rates (3.375% at July 31, 1994). The paper
matures over various terms not to exceed nine months.
NOTE 3 SECURITIES

NOTE 5 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At July 31, 1994, the Company was obligated under commercial
letters of credit of approximately $8,035,000 drawn in favor of
certain clearing organizations which were collateralized by
customer-owned securities of $5,409,000 and firm-owned
securities of $13,270,000. These obligations normally settle
through the clearance of the related securities transactions
with the respective organizations.
The Company is named as one of many defendants in class action
complaints that are part of the Multi-District Litigation (MDL)
involving the underwriting and sale of taxable municipal bonds
issued by several issuing authorities in 1986 and described in
previous share holder reports. On August 31, 1994, the Court
gave tentative approval to a class settlement of $21.2 million
to be paid by the underwriters in all taxable bond syndicates
involved in the MDL and certain other defendants. The Company is
responsible for a small percentage of the settlement, and while
the settlement is subject to a number of pre-conditions,
including final approval by the Court, management is of the
opinion that the litigation will be effectively settled and that
such a settlement will have no material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial condition. In the
event a settlement is not achieved, management is of the opinion
that it has meritorious defenses and has advised its counsel to
vigorously defend all claims arising from the MDL.
In addition to the matters described above, the Company is named
in various proceedings 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 Company's consolidated
financial condition.

Stock Option Plans of 1983 and 1985. Under provisions of the
Restricted Stock and the Incentive Stock Option Plans, benefits

NOTE 8 REPURCHASE AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Company enters into sales of securities under agreements to
repurchase, which substantially mature in less than 30 days,
with the obligation to repurchase the securities sold reflected
as a liability in the consolidated statement of financial
condition. The majority of the repurchase agreements are matched
with a reverse repurchase agreement.
Repurchase agreement information as of July 31, 1994 is
summarized as follows, in thousands:
Assets Sold Repurchase Liability
Carrying Market Interest
Amount Value Amount Rate
Mortgage-backed certificates $13,573 $13,627 $13,152

The Company also enters into purchases of securities under
agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements). The
amounts advanced under these agreements represent short-term
loans and are reflected as a receivable in the consolidated
statement of financial condition. Securities purchased under
agreements to resell are held in safekeeping in the Company's
name. Should the market value of the underlying securities
decrease below the amount recorded, the counterparty is required
to place an equivalent amount of additional securities in
safekeeping in the name of the Company.

NOTE 9 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company makes discretionary contributions to its 401K
defined contribution plan and its profit sharing plan covering
substantially all employees. The Company also has a defined
retirement plan covering certain executives. Total provisions
for expenses under all plans for each of the years ended July
31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 totaled $916,000, $917,000 and
$1,212,000, respectively.
NOTE 10 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
The Company's broker/dealer subsidiary, Morgan Keegan & Company,
Inc., is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's
(SEC) uniform net capital rule. The subsidiary broker/dealer
company has elected to operate under the alternate 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 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 July 31, 1994, the subsidiary had net capital of
$89,849,110 which was 36% of its aggregate debit balances and
$84,811,408 in excess of the 2% net capital requirement. At July
31, 1993, the subsidiary had net capital of $76,040,640 which
was 45% of its aggregate debit balances and $72,623,838 in
excess of the 2% net capital requirement.
NOTE 11 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH
OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
In the normal course of business, the Company's activities
involve the execution, settlement and financing of various
securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company
to risk in the event the customer is unable to fulfill its
contractual obligations. The Company maintains cash and margin
accounts for its customers located throughout the United States
but primarily in the Southeast.
The Company, as part of its normal brokerage activities,
assumes short positions on securities. The establishment of
short positions exposes the Company to off-balance sheet risk in
the event prices change, as the Company may be obligated to
cover such positions at a loss. The Company manages its exposure
to these instruments by entering into offsetting or other
positions in a variety of financial instruments.
As a securities broker/dealer, a substantial portion of the
Company's transactions are collateralized. The Company's
exposure to credit risk associated with nonperformance in
fulfilling contractual obligations pursuant to securities
transactions can be directly impacted by volatile trading
markets which may impair the customer's or contra party's
ability to satisfy their obligations to the Company. Where
considered necessary, the Company requires a deposit of
additional collateral, or a reduction of securities positions.
The Company has reserved $85,000 to recognize its credit risk on
unsecured debits.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into
underwriting and forward and future commitments. At July 31,
1994, the contract amount of future contracts to purchase and
sell U.S. government securities was approximately $20 million
and $11 million, respectively. At July 31, 1993, the contract
amount of future contracts to purchase and sell U.S. government
securities was approximately $46 million and $10 million,
respectively. The Company typically settles its position by
entering into equal but opposite contracts and, as such, the
contract amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. (Transactions relating to such commitments were
subsequently settled and had no material effect on financial
position.)

Board of Directors
Morgan Keegan, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of

statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1994. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. These standards require that we plan and
perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An

significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Morgan Keegan, Inc. and subsidiaries at
July 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
