NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries
October 31, 1998
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, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending July 31, 1999. 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, 1998.
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, 1998, M.K. &
Co. had net capital of $148,183,076 which was 36% of its aggregate debit
balances and $139,886,271 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
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for annual and
interim periods beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement
established standards for the method that public entities use to report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographical areas and major customers. Management has not completed its
review of the statement, but does not anticipate its adoption will have a
significant effect on the Registrant's annual or interim reporting.

MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries
NOTE E - OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 years beginning after June
15, 1999. 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 were $96,416,000 for the 3 months ended October
31, 1998 and 5% less than the same 3-month period of the previous year
when revenues were $101,198,000. The largest components of this decrease
included a 37% decrease in investment banking and a 5% decrease in
commissions. During the quarter the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped
approximately 1800 points stunting expansion in the equity markets noted
in the previous quarters.
Operating expenses totaled $80,370,000 for the quarter ended October 31,
1998 versus $80,510,000 for the same period in the previous year.
Employee compensation decreased 2% while travel and promotional expenses
increased 30%. Changes in employee compensation are in-line with changes
in revenues and additional travel and promotional expenses increased as a
result of additional investor conferences and additional employee training
efforts.
Net income was $9,746,000, or $.30 per share, and $12,788,000, or $.40 per
share, for the quarters ended October 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MORGAN KEEGAN, INC. and Subsidiaries
Impact of Year 2000
A significant portion of the Registrant's operations and information systems
are provided by third-party service providers. The Registrant's interface
systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their
own year 2000 issues. The Registrant has developed a plan to analyze how the
Year 2000 will impact its operations, including monitoring the status of
its service providers and evaluating alternatives. Given the Registrant's
exposure to third-party service providers, management does not believe the
internal costs to address the Year 2000 issue will have a material impact
on future operations other than the impact such event will have on the cost
of services provided by its vendors which is unknown at this time. There is
no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Registrant's
systems rely will be timely converted and will not have an adverse effect
on the Registrant's information systems. The Registrant is well into the
testing phase of its Year 2000 plan and will participate in the industry
wide testing in March, 1999. The interdependent nature of securities
transactions and the success of the Registrant's external counterparties
and vendors in dealing with this issue could significantly influence the
Registrant's estimate of the impact the Year 2000 will have on its business.
The Registrant is reviewing the most reasonably likely worst-case effects of
Year 2000 and has a preliminary contingency plan in place for any such
unanticipated negative effects. It is expected this plan will be updated
and finalized by December 31, 1998.
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 94% 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, 1998, cash flows used for operating activities were
$97,228,000 primarily due to the decrease in securities sold, not yet
purchased.
Cash flows from financing activities were $96,651,000 for the quarter ended
October 31, 1998, compared to $229,405,000 in the same period of the
previous year. The largest component of this change relates to utilizing
more cost effective borrowing vehicles to finance the Registrant's
operations.
Cash flows used for investing activities totaled $2,616,000 for the current
period versus a $32,589,000 increase in cash flows for the previous year's
same quarter. The increase in cash flows for the prior year was the
result of selling the homeoffice building in October 1997 for
approximately $36 million.
At October 31, 1998, the Registrant's broker/dealer subsidiary, which is
regulated under the SEC's uniform net capital rule, had net capital of
$148,183,076, which was $139,886,271 in excess of the 2% net capital
requirement. During the quarter the Registrant declared and paid cash
dividends of $0.07 per share on the shares outstanding.
In November 1993 the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase
program. During the quarter the Registrant repurchased 540,500 shares of
its common stock for $8,929,000. Since inception of the plan, 5,871,184
shares have been repurchased. The Registrant announced in fiscal 1998
that it would repurchase approximately 600,000 shares annually to
accommodate restricted stock and employee stock purchase programs.
Forward Looking Statements
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.

Item 1. Legal proceedings
Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. is subject to various claims

resolution of pending litigation and claims cannot be

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 or results
of operations.
