Report of Independent Accountants
To the Retirement and Savings Plan Committee
Humana Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets
available for benefits and the related statements of changes in
net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the
Humana Retirement and Savings Plan (the Plan) at December 31,
1998 and 1997 and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes
and of reportable transactions 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. The fund information in the notes to the statements of
net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes
in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes
of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of each fund. These supplemental schedules and fund
information are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedules and fund information 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 (the Company) and
is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA). The Company is the sponsor of the Plan and offers
managed health care products that integrate medical management
with the delivery of health care services through a network of
providers.
a. Contributions: 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.
Any employee of the Company 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. Effective after
January 1, 1998 on the date the Company so elects, an automatic
contribution in the amount of 3% of the participant's
compensation shall be made beginning on the employee's date of
hire, unless the employee elects not to participate in the
Pretax Savings Account or elects a different percentage up to
6%. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had not elected to
begin this automatic contribution. An amount equal to 50% of the
participant's contribution is contributed by the Company 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 the Company, 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. All matching contributions
shall be invested in the Humana Common Stock Fund.
After an employee completes two years of service with a
sponsoring employer and has complied with certain other service
requirements, the Company 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.
On September 15, 1998 the Company announced a one time special
$1,000 contribution to each eligible employee of the Company,
tied to each associate's vesting, who was employed on September
15, 1998. The total employer cost for the special contribution
was $15,403,000.
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
1. Summary of Plan, continued:
a. Contributions, continued: 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
(IRC) of 1986 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.
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: Invests primarily in contracts with banks
and insurance companies. The fund may also invest in cash and
cash equivalents.
Stock Index Fund: Invests primarily in units of the State
Street Flagship Domestic Index Commingled Trust Fund which
invests exclusively in securities which make up the Standard and
Poor's 500 Stock Price Index.
Humana Common Stock Fund: Invests primarily in the Company's
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 the Company's common stock, or a
combination thereof. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, this fund
included $61,138,490 and $57,226,125, respectively, of
nonparticipant directed funds related to the 401(k) employer
match.
Aggressive Growth Fund: Invests primarily in shares of Fidelity
Contrafund which invests in common stocks and securities
convertible into common stock which are undervalued in
comparison to their future growth potential. The Fidelity
Contrafund may also invest in preferred stocks, foreign
securities, covered call options, put options, repurchase
agreements, and cash equivalent securities.
Balanced Fund: Invests primarily in shares of Invesco Value
Trust which invests in a diversified mix of securities including
common and preferred stocks, corporate and U.S. Government
bonds, and cash and cash equivalents, the objective of which is
to emphasize current income while secondarily striving to attain
capital growth.
International Fund: Invests primarily 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
nonconvertible 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 U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper and
certificates of deposit.
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
1. Summary of Plan, continued:
a. Contributions, continued:
Small Capitalization Fund: Invests primarily in shares of
Blackrock Small Cap Fund which invests in equity securities
consisting primarily of emerging growth companies and companies
with high growth potential. The Blackrock Small Cap Fund may
also temporarily invest in cash and cash equivalents.
Long-Term Bond Fund: Invests primarily in shares of Pimco Fund
which invests primarily in fixed income securities with average
maturities of 9 to 12 years. These may include bonds issued by
corporations and the U.S. Government, mortgage-backed
securities, certificates of deposit, foreign securities and
other types of fixed income investments.
Large Capitalization Fund: Invests primarily in shares of IDS
New Dimensions Fund which invests primarily in common stocks of
U.S. companies that operate in fields where dynamic economic or
technological changes are taking place or that have excellent
technologies, marketing or management.
A participant may allocate his/her contributions to the Pretax
Savings Account and the Company'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 the Company'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.
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
the Company 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 the Company. 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.
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
1. Summary of Plan, continued:
a. Contributions, continued: 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.
There were approximately 24,000 and 18,500 participants at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, who had allocated
their contributions to one or more funds as follows:
1998 1997
Interest Income Fund 15,449 14,204
Humana Common Stock Fund 20,242 13,917
Aggressive Growth Fund 10,400 8,776
Stock Index Fund 9,625 8,494
Small Capitalization Fund 7,151 6,478
Balanced Fund 6,377 5,585
International Fund 5,859 5,342
Large Capitalization Fund 3,710 1,727
Long-Term Bond Fund 1,617 678
b. Withdrawals: 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 after attaining age 55; (2) a determination by the
Company 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 (3) the participant's death.
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. In the event funds are
needed because of extreme financial hardship, as defined by law,
the participant may be allowed to make a withdrawal of his/her
vested account balance. In addition, the Plan contains
restrictions relating to minimum withdrawals and the frequency
of withdrawals.
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
1. Summary of Plan, continued:
b. Withdrawals, continued: 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 paid monthly or quarterly, or
d. A life annuity with guaranteed payments for a period of 5,
10, 15 or 20 years.
The Plan permits the employee to roll over contributions from
another qualified plan. An employee must make a written request
to the Plan for a rollover contribution. These contributions
must comply with certain requirements before the Plan will
authorize the rollover contribution.
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 various investment funds 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 the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
ERISA, as determined by the Plan Administrator. Principal and
interest are repaid ratably through payroll deductions.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
a. Basis of Accounting: The financial statements of the Plan are
prepared under the accrual method of accounting. Benefits are
recorded when paid. 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.
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
b. Valuation of Investments: Investments in securities traded on
a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported
sales price on the last business day of the year; 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 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.
The Plan presents in the accompanying statements of changes in
net assets 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.
c. Management Estimates: 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 net assets available for benefits
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
additions to and deductions from net assets during the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Investments:

by the Humana Retirement and Savings Master Trust (Master
Trust). Earnings of the Master Trust are allocated between the
Plan and the Humana Puerto Rico 1165(e) Retirement Plan based on
each plan's investment balance to the total Master Trust
investment balance. Earnings are further allocated to the
respective participants based on each participant's respective
asset total to total plan assets.
