See accompanying notes. 5 HUMANA INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited (A) Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or those normally made in an annual report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, for further information, the reader of this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the Form 10-K of Humana Inc. (the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 1994. The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the Company's customary accounting practices and has not been audited. In the opinion of management, the information presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of interim results. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. (B) Contingencies The Company provides medical services to Medicare risk members under contracts with the Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA") that are renewed for a one-year term each December 31 unless terminated 90 days prior thereto. The loss of these contracts or significant changes in the Medicare program as a result of legislative action, including reductions in payments or increases in benefits without corresponding increases in payments, would have a material adverse effect on the revenues, profitability and business prospects of the Company. Although pending legislation could significantly lower the actual rate of increase, the Company's January 1, 1996 average rate of increase as reported by HCFA (weighted average for the members and markets served) under these contracts approximates 9 percent. Over the last five years, annual increases have ranged from as low as 2 percent in January 1991 to as high as 12 percent in January 1993, with an average of 6 percent. During 1994, the Company's South Florida health plan (the "Plan") was denied accreditation by the National Committee for Quality Assurance ("NCQA"). The Company has implemented various corrective action procedures developed to resolve the issues identified and expects no material effects on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows as a result of the NCQA accreditation denial. Resolution of various loss contingencies, including litigation pending against the Company in the ordinary course of business, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 6 HUMANA INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED Unaudited (C) Subsequent Events On August 16, 1995, the Company began an all cash tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of EMPHESYS Financial Group, Inc. ("EMPHESYS"). On October 11, 1995, as a result of all conditions of the tender offer being met, including obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals and the attainment by EMPHESYS of certain specified financial and operational targets, the tender offer was closed and all shares tendered (16,890,756 or 99 percent of EMPHESYS shares outstanding) were acquired. Under Delaware law, the remaining stockholders are entitled to receive the same merger consideration as those who tendered their shares. The aggregate purchase price of approximately $650 million was funded by the Company through available cash and bank borrowings. The bank borrowings, which totalled approximately $250 million, were pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of September 26, 1995, among the Company, Chemical Bank, as agent, and several other banks (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement, which expires September 25, 2000, provides for a $600 million revolving line of credit at terms generally more favorable than those existing under the prior agreement. On October 19, 1995, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire certain operating subsidiaries of Coastal Physician Group, Inc. ("Coastal") for approximately $50 million which is to be funded with available cash. The subsidiaries to be acquired operate 47 primary care centers, which serve approximately 75,000 Commercial and Medicare risk members of the Company, in South Florida and Tampa. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1995. 7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Humana Inc. ("Humana" or the "Company") offers managed health care products which integrate management with the delivery of health care services through a network of providers who share financial risk or who have incentives to deliver quality, cost-effective medical services. These products are marketed primarily through health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and preferred provider organizations ("PPOs") that encourage or require the use of contracting providers. HMOs and PPOs also control health care costs by various means including the use of utilization controls such as pre-admission approval for hospital inpatient services and pre-authorization of outpatient surgical procedures. The Company's HMO and PPO products are marketed primarily to employer and other groups ("Commercial") as well as Medicaid and Medicare- eligible individuals. The products marketed to Medicare-eligible individuals are either HMO products that provide managed care services which include all Medicare benefits and, in certain circumstances, additional managed care services that are not included in Medicare benefits ("Medicare risk") or indemnity insurance policies that supplement Medicare benefits ("Medicare supplement"). On October 11, 1995, the Company completed its acquisition of EMPHESYS Financial Group, Inc. ("EMPHESYS"), a commercial group health insurer, for a total purchase price of approximately $650 million. EMPHESYS is a leading provider of a broad range of managed care medical products to small businesses, and also provides group life, dental and disability income insurance. EMPHESYS' revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995, were approximately $1.6 billion. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, EMPHESYS' medical loss ratio was 75.1 percent and its administrative cost ratio was 21.7 percent. For the same six-month period, Humana's medical loss ratio was 81.3 percent and its administrative cost ratio was 13.5 percent. EMPHESYS' medical loss and administrative cost ratios were different from Humana's because of differences in the nature of each entity's products, customer base and the manner in which its products and services are distributed to those customers. At September 30, 1995, EMPHESYS had 1.3 million medical members. Results of Operations _____________________ Third Quarter Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 The Company's premium revenues increased 18.4 percent to $1.1 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, compared to $906 million for the same period in 1994. This growth was due to same-store Commercial membership gains, a 4.6 percent increase in Medicare risk premium rates and the December 1994 acquisition of CareNetwork, Inc. Premium revenues associated with this acquisition totaled approximately $41 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. Partially reducing these increases was the effect of a 2.0 percent reduction of Commercial premium rates. Including EMPHESYS, management anticipates that Commercial premium rates will continue to decrease at approximately the same rate for the remainder of 1995. 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued Membership in the Company's Commercial products increased 60,900 or 3.5 percent during the third quarter ended September 30, 1995. On a same- store basis, Commercial membership for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, increased 59,000 compared to 22,700 for the same period in 1994. The Company also added 7,700 Medicare risk members. Medicare supplement membership declined 2,800 members during the quarter ended September 30, 1995. For all of 1995, management anticipates same-store Commercial product membership gains approximating 19 to 20 percent and Medicare risk product membership gains approximating 7 percent. It is anticipated that EMPHESYS' medical and specialty product membership will remain flat for the remainder of 1995. The medical loss ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, was 82.6 percent compared to 81.3 percent for the same period in 1994. The increase was due primarily to an increase in non-hospital and outpatient services costs associated with the Company's Commercial product. Although the medical loss ratio for the third quarter of 1995 increased over the third quarter of 1994, medical costs per member per month during the third quarter of 1995 were flat with those of the second quarter of 1995. Patient days per thousand members for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, decreased 2.7 percent from the same period a year ago to 252 days per thousand for the Commercial product and decreased 1.0 percent to 1,327 days per thousand for the Medicare risk product. With the inclusion of EMPHESYS, the medical loss ratio of the Company for the fourth quarter of 1995 is expected to be below that of Humana prior to the EMPHESYS acquisition. The administrative cost ratio was 13.3 percent and 13.7 percent for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The reduction is the result of increased premium revenues as well as efforts to control administrative cost spending. With the inclusion of EMPHESYS, the administrative cost ratio of the Company is expected to be above that of Humana prior to the EMPHESYS acquisition. Interest income totaled $20 million and $17 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase is attributable to higher yields earned in the third quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994, as well as increased levels of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The tax equivalent yield on invested assets approximated 8.1 percent and 6.6 percent for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company's income before income taxes totaled $65 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Net income increased to $43 million or $.27 per share from $42 million or $.27 per share for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued Management anticipates that the inclusion of EMPHESYS will be accretive to the fourth quarter of 1995 net income and earnings per share (after consideration of depreciation, amortization and interest costs associated with the acquisition). Nine months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 The Company's premium revenues increased 18.4 percent to $3.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $2.7 billion for the same period in 1994. This growth was due to same-store membership gains, a 5.1 percent increase in Medicare risk premium rates and the 1994 acquisitions of CareNetwork, Inc. and Group Health Association. Premium revenues associated with these acquisitions totaled approximately $257 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to approximately $116 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. Partially reducing these increases was the effect of a 1.3 percent reduction of Commercial premium rates. Including EMPHESYS, management anticipates that Commercial premium rates will continue to decrease at approximately the same rate for the remainder of 1995. Membership in the Company's Commercial products increased 251,900 or 16.5 percent during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. On a same-store basis, Commercial membership for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, increased 239,900 compared to 78,100 for the same period in 1994. The Company also added 16,900 Medicare risk members and 169,300 members in its administrative services product. Medicare supplement membership declined 12,600 members during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. For all of 1995, management anticipates same- store Commercial product membership gains approximating 19 to 20 percent and Medicare risk product membership gains approximating 7 percent. It is anticipated that EMPHESYS' medical and specialty product membership will remain flat for the remainder of 1995. The medical loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was 81.8 percent compared to 81.9 percent for the same period in 1994. The improvement was the result of decreased hospital utilization in both the Commercial and Medicare risk products and Medicare risk premium rate increases which exceeded the rate of growth of physician and other medical services costs during the first quarter of 1995. During both the second and third quarters of 1995, utilization of non-hospital and outpatient services associated with the Company's Commercial product have increased when compared to the same quarters of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995. However, medical costs per member per month during the third quarter of 1995 were flat with those of the second quarter of 1995. With the inclusion of EMPHESYS, the medical loss ratio of the Company for the fourth quarter of 1995 is expected to be below that of Humana prior to the EMPHESYS acquisition. 10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued The administrative cost ratio was 13.5 percent and 13.6 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The reduction is the result of increased premium revenues as well as efforts to control administrative cost spending. With the inclusion of EMPHESYS, the administrative cost ratio of the Company is expected to be above that of Humana prior to the acquisition of EMPHESYS. Interest income totaled $58 million and $45 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase is attributable to higher yields earned in the nine months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994, as well as increased levels of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The tax equivalent yield on invested assets approximated 7.8 percent and 6.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company's income before income taxes totaled $213 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $173 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. Income before income taxes for 1994 excludes $29 million related to the favorable settlement of tax disputes with the Internal Revenue Service ( the "IRS") and an $18 million charge related to the write-down of a nonoperational asset. Excluding the effects of the nonrecurring items described above, net income increased to $141 million or $.87 per share from $111 million or $.70 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Management anticipates that the inclusion of EMPHESYS will be accretive to the fourth quarter of 1995 net income and earnings per share (after consideration of depreciation, amortization, and interest costs associated with the acquisition). Liquidity _________ Cash provided by the Company's operations totaled $257 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $353 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. The timing of the receipt of Medicare risk premiums increased cash provided by operations by $116 million and $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Excluding the effect of the timing of Medicare risk premiums, cash provided by operations was $141 million and $348 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily attributable to the timing of payments for medical costs and other payables as well as inclusion in 1994 of the settlement of tax disputes with the IRS. In connection with the acquisition of EMPHESYS, the Company borrowed approximately $250 million pursuant to a $600 million credit agreement consummated in September 1995. 11 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued On October 19, 1995, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company agreed to acquire 47 primary care centers in South Florida and Tampa for approximately $50 million, which is to be funded with available cash. The transaction, which is subject to certain regulatory approvals, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1995. The Company's subsidiaries operate in states which require certain levels of equity and regulate the payment of dividends to the parent company. As a result, the Company's ability to use operating subsidiaries' cash flows is restricted to the extent that the subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends to its parent company requires regulatory approval. Management anticipates that borrowings under the line of credit as well as $57 million of debt assumed in the EMPHESYS acquisition will be repaid from future operating cash flows of the Company. In addition, management believes that existing working capital, remaining funds available under the Credit Agreement and future operating cash flows are sufficient to meet liquidity needs, allow the Company to continue to pursue acquisition and expansion opportunities and fund capital requirements. Capital Resources _________________ The Company's ongoing capital expenditures relate primarily to the addition or expansion of medical care facilities used by either employed or affiliated physicians as well as administrative facilities and related computer information systems necessary for activities such as claims processing, billing and collections, medical utilization review and customer service. Excluding acquisitions, planned capital spending in 1995 will approximate $45 to $50 million compared to $39 million in 1994. Management believes that its capital spending program is adequate to expand, improve and equip its existing business. 12 Item 2.

For the purpose of determining earnings in the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges (the "Ratio"), earnings have been increased by the provision for income taxes and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense on borrowings and one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest portion) of rent expense. For purposes of calculating the Ratio, 1994 interest expense excludes the impact of a nonrecurring item related to the second quarter favorable settlement of tax disputes with the Internal Revenue Service. 18
