REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Retirement and Savings Plan Committee
Humana Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Humana Retirement and Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed on
page 2 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Plan:
The Humana Retirement and Savings Plan (the "Plan") is a qualified,
trusteed plan established for the benefit of the employees of Humana Inc. and
its subsidiaries ("Humana") and is subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The Plan maintained two accounts, the Thrift
Account and the Retirement Account, prior to January 1,
1994. No further contributions were accepted into the Thrift Account
subsequent to December 31, 1993, as a new Pretax Savings Account was added
to the Plan effective January 1, 1994. All Thrift Account balances as of
December 31, 1993 remained in the Plan.
The Plan's Sponsor, Humana Inc., offers managed health care products that
integrate medical management with the delivery of health care services through
a network of providers.
Any employee of Humana who is employed with a sponsoring employer is eligible
to participate in the Plan's Pretax Savings Account. A participant, through
payroll deductions, may contribute not less than 1% nor more than 6% of the
participant's compensation per pay period. An amount equal to 50% of the
participant's contributions is contributed by Humana for any participating
employee who has completed at least one year of service with at least 1,000
hours of service. The Board of Directors of Humana, at its option, may
increase this matching percentage up to 100%. Participants who contribute the
maximum 6% amount are eligible to make voluntary contributions of amounts
which do not exceed an additional 8% of their annual compensation. These
voluntary contributions are not subject to employer matching contributions.
After an employee completes two years of service with a sponsoring employer
and has complied with certain other service requirements, Humana makes annual
contributions to the Retirement Account of the Plan equal to 4% of each
participating employee's qualifying compensation earned during the Plan year,
plus 4% of any compensation that exceeds the Social Security taxable wage
base. Contribution amounts are computed as of the end of each Plan year and
are nonforfeitable.
Contributions to the Plan by or on behalf of employees may be restricted in
amount and as to timing so as to meet various requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 ("IRC") as amended.
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions
and the Company's contributions and the allocations of Plan earnings and
charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based
on participants' account balances. Forfeited balances of terminated
participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company
contributions. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit
that can be provided from the participant's vested account.
Contributions to the Plan are invested by National City Trust Company (the
"Trustee") in nine separate participant directed investment funds as follows:
Interest Income Fund: In obligations of the United States and United States
Government agencies, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness,
shares of preferred stock and any other property, the rate of return from
which is established by the instruments evidencing the investments, including
principal and interest contracts.

1. Summary of Plan, continued:
Stock Index Fund: In units of the State Street Flagship Domestic Index
Commingled Trust Fund which invests exclusively in securities which attempt
to match the return of the Standard and Poor's 500 Index.
Humana Common Stock Fund: In Humana common stock, or in U.S. Treasury Bills,
commercial paper, certificates of deposit and money market funds as determined
by the Trustee. All employer contributions to the Pretax Savings Account are
invested in this fund. Employer contributions may be made in cash, in shares
of Humana common stock, or a combination thereof. At December 31, 1997 and
1996, this fund included $57,226,125 and $51,466,809, respectively, of
non-participant directed funds related to the 401(k) employer match.
Aggressive Growth Fund: In shares of Fidelity Contrafund which invests in
common stocks and securities convertible into common stock which have market
values appearing low relative to underlying value or future earnings and
growth potential. The Fidelity Contrafund may also invest in, among other
investments, convertible securities, warrants, preferred stock, bonds, foreign
securities, covered call options, put options, repurchase agreements, and cash
equivalent securities.
Balanced Fund: In shares of Invesco Value Trust which invests in common and
preferred stocks, straight debt issues (including government securities) or
debt securities with equity conversion or purchase rights and in cash and cash
equivalents, the objective of which is to emphasize current income while
secondarily striving to attain capital growth.
International Fund: In shares of Harbor International Fund which invests in
equity securities, American Depositary Receipts, European Depositary Receipts,
securities convertible into common stock, government securities, and
non-convertible preferred stocks of issuers domiciled outside the United
States so as to achieve long-term growth of capital. The Harbor International
Fund may also invest in cash equivalent securities, such as Treasury bills,
commercial paper and certificates of deposit.
Small Capitalization Fund: In shares of Compass Small Cap Fund which invests
in equity securities consisting primarily of emerging growth companies and
companies selected for investment because of their unique situation. The
Compass Small Cap Fund may also invest in cash equivalent securities, such as
U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper and certificates of deposit.
Long Term Bond Fund: In shares of Pimco Fund which invests primarily in fixed
income securities. These may include bonds issued by corporations and the
U.S. Government; mortgage-backed securities, certificates of deposit; foreign
securities; and other types of fund income investments.
Large Capitalization Fund: In shares of IDS New Dimensions Fund which invests
primarily in common stock of large U.S. companies whose stock prices tend to
vary less than those of small companies. The IDS New Dimensions Fund may also
invest in cash equivalent securities, such as Treasury bills, commercial paper
and certificates of deposit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
1. Summary of Plan, continued:
A participant may allocate his/her contributions to the Pretax Savings Account
and Humana's contribution to the Retirement Account among the various funds in
increments of not less than 1%. In the absence of such allocation, these
contributions are invested in the Interest Income Fund. In connection with a
change in allocation of a participant's or Humana's future contributions among
the nine Plan funds and a change in the investment of existing accounts
("Transfers"), the value of Transfers to or from the Humana Common Stock Fund
will reflect the price or prices at which all shares are purchased, sold or
transferred before, on or after the participant's monthly election rather than
transferring strictly based on the value at the monthly closing price.
The value of a participant's interest, including employer contributions, is
generally payable upon the occurrence of one of the following events:
(1) the participant's retirement on or after the date he/she attains age 65;
(2) the participant's early retirement after attaining age 55 and having been
credited with two years of service; (3) a determination by Humana upon
competent medical or other evidence that, by reason of permanent and total
disability, the participant is incapable of performing the duties of his/her
work; or (4) the participant's death.
Employee contributions are nonforfeitable. Participants who withdraw from the
Pretax Savings Account prior to being credited with four years of
participation or five years of service with Humana are eligible to receive
generally the value of employer contributions at the withdrawal date,
exclusive of those made during the two years preceding withdrawal. Employer
contributions become totally nonforfeitable after the participant is credited
with four years of participation in the Plan or five years of service with
Humana.
Employer contributions forfeited as a result of withdrawal following
termination of employment will be available to reduce the amount of subsequent
employer contributions to the Pretax Savings Account. If a former participant
is re-employed prior to five consecutive one-year breaks in service and repays
the amount of his/her distribution, then any forfeited employer contributions
are restored to his/her account.
A participant may generally withdraw an amount from the Thrift Account equal
to the value of the participant's account as of the valuation date following
the date the withdrawal request is received by the Plan Administrator.
Effective January 1, 1994, in the event funds are needed because of extreme
financial hardship, as defined by law, the participant may be allowed to make
a withdrawal from his/her Pretax Savings Account. In addition, the Plan
contains restrictions relating to minimum withdrawals and the frequency of
withdrawals.
Benefits under the Plan are payable to withdrawing participants including
retirees as follows:
(a) A lump sum distribution in cash or, in the event of a distribution from
the Humana Common Stock Fund, partially or totally in Humana Common
Stock, or
(b) Monthly, quarterly or annual installments for a period of 5, 10, 15 or 20
years not to exceed the life expectancy of the participant, or the joint
and last survivor expectancy of the participant and designated
beneficiary, or
(c) A life annuity form of payment, or
(d) A life annuity with guaranteed payments.

1. Summary of Plan, continued:
Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan and allocated to the
participants' accounts.
There were approximately 18,500 and 17,800 participants at December 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively, who had allocated their contributions to one or more
funds as follows:
1997 1996
Interest Income Fund 14,204 14,554
Humana Common Stock Fund 13,917 13,616
Aggressive Growth Fund 8,776 7,914
Stock Index Fund 8,494 7,896
Small Capitalization Fund 6,478 5,898
Balanced Fund 5,585 5,415
International Fund 5,342 4,537
Large Capitalization Fund 1,727 -
Long Term Bond Fund 678 -
Effective January 1, 1994, participants may borrow from their fund accounts.
The aggregate of the loans to a participant shall not exceed the lesser of
$50,000 or 50% of the vested portion of his/her participant contribution
accounts, voluntary contribution accounts plus his/her employer thrift and
pretax savings accounts to which he/she would be entitled to if he/she
incurred a termination of employment. The minimum a participant may borrow
is $500. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment
fund from (to) the Participant Notes Fund. Loan terms range from one to four
years or up to ten years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans
are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at
a reasonable rate in accordance with Department of Labor rules and
regulations, as determined by the Plan Administrator. Principal and interest
are repaid ratably through payroll deductions.
Humana has the right, under the Plan, to discontinue its contribution at any
time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. If the
Plan is terminated, the interest of each participant would continue to be
nonforfeitable and would be distributed as determined by Humana.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of
accounting.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 financial statements in
order to conform to the 1997 classifications. The changes had no effect on
previously reported net assets available for benefits.
Benefits are recorded when paid.
The Plan presents in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Asset
Available for Benefits the net appreciation or depreciation in fair value of
investments which consists of both realized gains or losses and unrealized
appreciation or depreciation.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on
the ex-dividend date.
Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued
at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the period;
securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for
which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the mean between the
last reported bid and asked prices.
The fair values of units in the Armada Government Funds and the Armada Money
Market Fund are determined by the Trustee based upon the securities comprising
the funds. The fair values for those securities represent the last recorded
sale of the year. In the absence of recorded sales, and for securities not
listed on a national securities exchange, the fair values represent the mean
of bid and asked prices obtained from certified investment brokers.
The Interest Income Fund investments include, among others, investment
contracts, collateralized mortgage obligations, bonds, asset-backed securities
and other fixed income obligations such as commercial paper.
Investment contracts with insurance companies are fully benefit-responsive and
are carried at contract value, which represents contributions plus interest
earned at specified rates less withdrawals and administrative expenses.
Investment contracts with banks are carried at fair value. Included in these
investment contracts are synthetic GIC's which are fully benefit-responsive
and are carried at contract value. The collateralized mortgage obligations,
bonds and asset-backed securities are recorded at fair value. These
securities are not listed on a national securities exchange. The fair values
represent the mean of bid and asked prices obtained from certified investment
brokers.
3. Merger:
Effective March 3, 1997, the assets of Med-Pay, Inc.'s, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Humana, Med-Pay, Inc. Employee 401(k) Plan were merged with
the Plan. The market value of the assets transferred was $234,410.
On April 1, 1996, June 30, 1996 and September 17, 1996, the assets of
Employers Health Insurance Profit Sharing Plan, Centerstone Insurance and

6. Income Tax Status:
The Internal Revenue Service has determined, and informed Humana by a letter
dated May 19, 1994, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance
with applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving
the determination letter. However, the Plan Administrator and the Plan's
tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated
in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
7. Subsequent Events:
On May 28, 1998, United HealthCare Corporation and Humana reached a definitive
agreement to merge. The proposed merger will be accounted for as a pooling of
interest in which one United HealthCare share will be exchanged for every two
Humana shares. The transaction will require shareholder and regulatory
approvals and is expected to close in the third quarter of 1998.
