NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries
January 31, 1998
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 six months ended January 31, 1998, are not necessarily
indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending
July 31, 1998. 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, 1997.
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 January 31, 1998, M.K. & Co. had net capital of
$146,741,276 which was
34% of its aggregate debit balances and $138,154,973
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 D - EFFECT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 128
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Statement No. 128 replaced the
previously reported primary
and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted
earnings per share.
Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per
share excludes any dilutive
effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
Diluted earnings per share
is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted
earnings per share.
All earnings per share amounts for all periods have
been presented, and
where necessary, restated to conform to the Statement
No. 128 requirements.

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.
This Form 10-Q may contain or incorporate by reference statements which
may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Prospective investors are
cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees for
future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual
results may differ materially from those contemplated by such
forward-looking statements.
The Registrant is evaluating Year 2000 compliance issues including vendors,
software and other systems to determine that internal and external concerns
are addressed to meet the Year 2000 deadline. A committee has been setup
to over see this evaluation and implementation includes key personnel from
various aspects of the Registrant's business activities. The committee is
projecting full compliance by the end of current fiscal year with on going
testing throughout 1999. The cost of implementing Year 2000 compliance
issues is not expected to be material to the Registrant's consolidated
results of operations or financial condition.
Results of Operations
The Registrant recognized the second highest level of revenues and
net income for the quarter ended January 31, 1998. Revenues for the
quarter were $96,572,000--16% higher than the second quarter of fiscal
1997 when revenues were $83,527,000. The largest component of the
increase was a 40% increase in investment banking revenues. Follow-on
offering activity remained high throughout the quarter as many of the
Registrant's clients took advantage of the current markets to finance
their expansion efforts.
Operating expenses increased to $78,570,000 compared to $68,854,000
in the same period a year ago. This $9,716,000 increase is attributable
to a 14% increase in compensation and an 11% increase in interest expense.
Both increases are in proportion to the increase in trading volume.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries
Results of Operations (continued)
Net income for the quarter increased to $11,402,000, or $.35 per share,
versus $9,274,000, $.30 per share a year ago. Market conditions
continued to be favorable throughout the quarter with the Dow Jones
Industrial Average hovering at 8000.
Total revenues for the six months ended January 31, 1998, totaled
$197,769,000 or 25% higher than the same period of the previous year
when revenues were $157,942,000. The most significant increases
were noted in commission income, investment banking revenues and
investment advisory revenues. These increases are the result of the
bullish market conditions and continued growth of the Registrant's
retail branch system.
Year-to-date operating expenses increased 21% to $159,080,000 from
$131,519,000 for the six months ended January 31, 1997. Factors
contributing to this increase include a 24% increase in compensation
and a 16% increase in interest cost. These increases are relative to
the increase in revenues and trading volumes.
Net income for the six months was $24,189,000 or $.75 per share
which is well ahead of last year's record pace when net income
equaled $16,623,000 or $.54 per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
High liquidity is reflected in the Registrant's statement of financial
condition with approximately 93% 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 month period
ended January 31, 1998, cash flows used for operating activities were
$87,162,000 primarily due to a $59,833,000 increase in receivables
from customers.
Cash flows from financing activities were $49,504,000 for the six
months ended January 31, 1998. Changes in securities owned,
customer receivables and broker receivables directly affect the
financing activities.
Investing activities resulted in a $29,730,000 increase in cash flows
for the current period versus a $6,813,000 decrease in the previous
year. The increase is a result of the sale of the home office building
in the month of October 1997 for approximately $36 million dollars.
At January 31, 1998, the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary, which
is regulated under the SEC's uniform net capital rule, had net capital
of $146,741,276 which was $138,154,973 in excess of the 2% net
capital requirement. During the quarter, the Registrant declared
and paid cash dividends of $.06 per share on the shares outstanding.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries
Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
As previously disclosed in Form 10-Q filed for the quarter ended
October 31, 1997, the Registrant declared and paid a 3-for-2
stock split accounted for as a stock dividend. This stock split
increased the number of shares outstanding by 10,756,101 shares.
All per share information has been restated for the stock split.
The Registrant is authorized to repurchase its own stock under
the stock repurchase program begun in November 1993. No
stock has been repurchased under the plan year-to-date. Since
inception of the repurchase program, the Registrant has
repurchased 5,158,184 shares for $30,801,989.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal proceedings
