                    TRIGON HEALTHCARE, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements prepared by Trigon
     Healthcare, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Trigon or the Company)
     are unaudited, except for the balance sheet information as of December 31,
     1999, which is derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial
     statements, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do
     not include all of the information and the footnotes required by generally
     accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These
     consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
     with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the
     Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
     recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such
     consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of
     operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
     current period presentation.

2.   LONG TERM DEBT AND COMMERCIAL PAPER

     The Company has a $300 million revolving credit agreement with a syndicate
     of banks, which expires February 2002. The credit agreement provides for
     various borrowing options and rates and requires the Company to pay a
     facility fee on a quarterly basis. The credit agreement also contains
     certain financial covenants and restrictions including minimum net worth
     requirements as well as limitations on dividend payments. In conjunction
     with the issuance of commercial paper notes during the first quarter of
     2000, the Company repaid the $245 million outstanding on the revolving
     credit agreement. There were no amounts borrowed under this agreement as of
     and for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The weighted average interest
     rate for the period the borrowings were outstanding during the three months
     and six months ended June 30, 1999 was 5.15% and 5.23%, respectively.

     In March 2000, the Company commenced a private placement commercial paper
     program providing for the issuance of up to $300 million in aggregate
     maturity value of commercial paper notes. The notes were issued at par less
     a discount representing an interest factor. Under the program, they may
     also be issued at par as interest bearing notes. The notes may be issued
     with varying maturities up to a maximum of one year from issuance. As of
     June 30, 2000, outstanding notes under the commercial paper program totaled
     approximately $244.9 million with an average maturity of 25 days. The
     weighted-average discount yield on the outstanding commercial paper notes

                                       5
<PAGE>

     was 6.77% as of June 30, 2000. The commercial paper is backed by the
     revolving credit agreement. The commercial paper notes have been classified
     as long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
     condition based on the Company's ability and intent to maintain borrowings
     of at least this amount for more than one year.

3.   INCOME TAXES

     The effective tax rate on income before income taxes and minority interest
     for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was 24.6% and 32.9%,
     respectively. The effective tax rate on income before income taxes and
     minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was 28.8%
     and 33.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months and
     six months ended June 30, 2000 includes a $2.7 million tax benefit realized
     during the second quarter of 2000 related to the sale of its Mid-South
     subsidiary (note 8). Excluding this tax benefit, the effective tax rate for
     the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 was 31.5% and 32.1%,
     respectively. The effective tax rates for 2000 and 1999, excluding the $2.7
     million tax benefit, differ from the statutory tax rate of 35% primarily
     due to the Company's investments in tax-exempt municipal bonds which
     reduces the effective tax rate by the effect of the tax-exempt investment
     income earned.

     In conjunction with the Demutualization, the Company was required to make a
     payment of $175 million to the Commonwealth of Virginia (Commonwealth
     Payment) which was expensed and paid in prior years. The Company claimed
     the $175 million Commonwealth Payment as a deduction. The Internal Revenue
     Service has denied this deduction during the course of its audit of the
     Company. The Company continues to pursue the deduction. In addition, the
     Company has filed a lawsuit claiming deductions for losses incurred on the
     termination of certain customer and provider contracts. See note 7.
     Favorable resolution of these claims is subject to various uncertainties,
     including whether the deductions will be allowed at all and, in the case of
     the claim for losses on the termination of customer and provider contracts,
     the amount of the deductions, if any, that will be allowed. While the
     Company believes that its claims have merit, it cannot predict the ultimate
     outcome of the claims. The Company has not recognized the impact of the
     claims, if any, in the consolidated financial statements.

4.   CAPITAL STOCK

     The Company commenced its previously announced second stock repurchase
     program in February 2000 following completion of its first stock repurchase
     program. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company purchased and
     retired 19,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately
     $929,000 bringing the total shares purchased during 2000 to 555,906 at a
     cost of approximately $17.3 million. The excess of the cost of the acquired
     shares over par value is charged on a pro rata basis to capital in excess
     of par and retained earnings.

     In February 2000, the Board of Directors granted 87,681 shares of the
     Company's common stock as restricted stock awards in accordance with the
     provisions of the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan). The shares
     vest on a pro rata basis over three years. The recipients of the restricted
     stock awards generally may not dispose or otherwise transfer the restricted
     stock until vested. For grants of restricted stock, unearned compensation

                                       6
<PAGE>

     equivalent to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant is
     recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity and subsequently
     amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period. A total of
     104,848 restricted shares were outstanding as of June 30, 2000.
     Amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $708,000
     and $301,000, respectively and $2 million and $465,000 for the six months,
     respectively.

7.   LITIGATION

     On June 9, 2000, the Company's subsidiary, Trigon Insurance Company, filed
     a lawsuit against the federal government for the recovery of federal income
     tax overpayments for the years 1989 through 1995. If successful, the
     Company expects to recover approximately $60 million in cash refunds plus
     interest of about $40 million and to receive tax refunds for the years 1996
     through 1999 of about $15 million. In addition, if the Company is
     successful it could receive substantial additional tax credits that could
     lower federal income tax liability in future years.

     The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern
     District of Virginia, relates to the initial valuation and deductibility of
     the Company's assets when, along with other Blue Cross Blue Shield
     organizations, it became subject to federal income taxation in 1987. As
     part of this change in tax status, Congress provided that if a Blue Cross
     or Blue Shield organization disposed of an asset that it had acquired while
     tax-exempt, its taxable gain or loss would be computed by reference to the
     asset's fair market value at the time the organization became subject to
     tax. The Company is seeking deductions for losses incurred on the
     termination of certain customer and provider contracts that were held by it
     on January 1, 1987, based on the fair market value of the contracts on that
     date.

     The Internal Revenue Service asserts that the Company is not entitled to
     deduct losses incurred on the termination of these contracts. The
     resolution of the Company's refund claim is subject to uncertainties,
     including whether the court will allow the deductions and, if so, the
     amount of the deductions that will be allowed. While the Company believes
     that its claim is meritorious, it cannot predict the ultimate outcome of
     the claim.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various other
     legal actions occurring in the normal course of their business. While the
     ultimate outcome of such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, in
     the opinion of Company management, after consultation with counsel
     responsible for such litigation, the outcome of those actions is not
     expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and
     results of operations of the Company.

8.   MID-SOUTH EXIT OF HEALTH INSURANCE MARKET AND SALE OF COMPANY

     During the second quarter of 2000, the Company charged $6.4 million against
     the claim reserves for future losses and charged $0.5 million against the
     accrual of certain other exit costs for payments related to the Mid-South
     exit accrual, bringing the year-to-date charges against the claim reserves
     for future losses and accrual of certain other exit costs to $12.2 million
     and $1.1 million, respectively.

     On June 1, 2000, the sale all of the issued and outstanding shares of
     Mid-South was completed. The purchase price approximated net book value.
     The Company retained responsibility for certain medical claims and other
     exit costs incurred prior to the sale on June 1, 2000. The stock purchase
     agreement also included a purchase price adjustment provision tied to the
     financial performance of the Mid-South individual business for the period
     from June 1, 2000 through December 31, 2002. The remaining accrual for
     future losses on this business is expected to be sufficient to satisfy any
     potential payments under this provision of the stock purchase agreement.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

GENERAL

Substantially all of the revenues of Trigon Healthcare, Inc. and subsidiaries
(collectively, Trigon or the Company) are generated from premiums and fees
received for health care services provided to its members and from investment
income. Trigon's expenses are primarily related to health care services provided
which consist of payments to physicians, hospitals and other providers. A
portion of medical costs expense for each period consists of an actuarial
estimate of claims incurred but not reported to Trigon during the period. The
Company's results of operations depend in large part on its ability to
accurately predict and effectively manage health care costs.

The Company divides its business into four reportable segments: health
insurance, government programs, investments and all other. Its health insurance
segment offers several network products, including health maintenance
organizations (HMO), preferred provider organizations (PPO) and traditional
indemnity products with access to the Company's participating provider network
(PAR) as well as Medicare supplement plans. The government programs segment
includes the Federal Employee Program (FEP) and claims processing for Medicare.
Through its participation in the national contract between the Blue Cross and
Blue Shield Association and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the
Company provides health benefits to federal employees in Virginia. FEP revenues
represent the reimbursement by OPM of medical costs incurred including the
actual cost of administering the program, as well as a performance-based share
of the national program's overall profit. The Company discontinued its role as a
claims processing intermediary for the federal government with the Medicare Part
A program in Virginia and West Virginia, effective August 31, 1999.
Additionally, the Company discontinued its role as the primary provider of
computer processing capabilities for Medicare Part A claims processing to
certain other Blue Cross and Blue Shield organizations during November 1999. As
an administrative agent for Medicare, the Company allocated operating expenses
to determine reimbursement due for services rendered in accordance with the
contract. Medicare claims processed were not included in the consolidated
statements of operations and the reimbursement of allocated operating expenses
was recorded as a reduction of the Company's selling, general and administrative
expenses. All of the investment portfolios of the consolidated subsidiaries are
managed and evaluated collectively within the investment segment. The Company's
other health-related business, including disease management programs,
third-party administration for medical and workers' compensation, health
promotion and similar products, is reflected in an "all other" category.

Within the Company's health insurance network product offerings, employer groups
may choose various funding options ranging from fully-insured to partially or
fully self-funded financial arrangements. While self-funded customers
participate in Trigon's networks, the customers bear all or portions of the
claims risk.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

Premium and fee revenues increased 10.0% to $618.8 million in the second quarter
of 2000 from $562.8 in the second quarter of 1999. The $56.0 million increase is
due to a combination of rate increases and enrollment growth in the Company's
health insurance segment's HMO and PPO networks, offset by expected declines in
the segment's PAR network enrollment and the third quarter 1999 Mid-South market
exit. Commercial revenue from the Virginia HMO, PPO and PAR networks increased
20.4% to $462.4 million in the second quarter of 2000 from $384.0 million in the
second quarter of 1999. This increase is attributed to a 14.3% increase in
member months and a 5.4% increase in revenue per member. The Mid-South market
exit resulted in a $32.9 million decrease in commercial revenue. Overall,
premium revenues on a per member per month basis for the Company's commercial
business increased 8.4% to $148.73 for the second quarter of 2000 from $137.19
for the second quarter of 1999. Self-funded margins increased $4.3 million or
12.0% due to an 8.5% increase in margin per member per month. The government
segment's FEP revenues increased 5.7% to $116.6 million from $110.3 million in
the second quarter of last year. The increase is due to increased medical costs
to be reimbursed by OPM and a 2.5% increase in enrollment.

Total enrollment increased to 1,968,705 as of June 30, 2000 from 1,934,301 as of
June 30, 1999. The increase of 34,404 was a result of a 29,019 increase in the
Company's health insurance segment, reflecting an increase of 155,590 members in
the Virginia enrollment offset by a decrease of 126,571 members due to the
Mid-South market exit, and a 5,385 increase in the government segment. The
Virginia enrollment increase was the result of a 132,686 increase in commercial
enrollment, a 14.5% increase, and a 22,493 increase in self-funded enrollment.
Enrollment in the HMO network increased by 8.7% over the prior year and accounts
for 32.5% of the total commercial enrollment. Enrollment in the PPO network as
of June 30, 2000 increased 36.0% over June 30, 1999 and accounts for 42.2% of
the Company's commercial enrollment. Growth in PPO was offset by an expected
decline of 7.8% in the Company's PAR network as members migrate into more
tightly managed networks. The PAR network enrollment represents 13.8% of the
Company's commercial enrollment. Self-funded enrollment increased 3.4% as of
June 30, 2000.

Investment income increased 19.5% to $28.0 million in the second quarter of 2000
from $23.4 million in the second quarter of 1999. Net realized losses were $7.3
million in the second quarter of 2000 as compared to $4.2 million in the second
quarter of 1999. The increase in investment income is due to growth in
investment assets caused by positive operating cash flow, favorable total return
on investments and an increase in long-term debt during the second quarter of
1999. The increase in net realized losses for the second quarter of 2000 is due
to a shift in asset allocation from medium quality to investment grade bonds.

Medical costs increased 8.9% to $485.5 million in the second quarter of 2000
from $445.8 million in the second quarter of 1999. The $39.8 million increase is
a result of growth in the Virginia health insurance segment's commercial
enrollment partially offset by Mid-South's market exit in the third quarter of
1999, expected levels of medical cost inflation and an increase in the
government segment's FEP medical costs reimbursed by OPM. The medical cost per

                                       14
<PAGE>

member per month for the Company's commercial business increased 7.4% to $120.63
in the second quarter of 2000 from $112.29 in the second quarter of 1999.
Combined with an 8.4% increase in commercial premium revenues per member per
month, the loss ratio on commercial business decreased to 81.1% in the second
quarter of 2000 from 81.9% in the second quarter of 1999. As a result of medical
cost management initiatives, cost and utilization trends have been maintained at
levels consistent with current pricing and margin objectives. The implementation
of the "three-tier" drug benefit co-pay program continues to positively impact
pharmacy costs with a cost trend of 7.1% for the twelve month period ended June
30, 2000 compared to 10.2% for the twelve month period ended June 30, 1999. The
Company has negotiated a new pharmacy contract to be effective January 1, 2001
that will improve the existing contractual arrangement. Outpatient cost per
member increased 2.1% for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2000 as
outpatient fee schedules continue to benefit cost trends. The Company continues
to take an active role in working with physicians through peer-to-peer
communication and implementation of national medical management guidelines.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased by 2.7% to $116.0
million in the second quarter of 2000 from $113.0 million in the second quarter
of 1999. This increase is attributed to the incremental commissions and
operations costs resulting from the enrollment increase offset by the reduction
of expenses due to Mid-South. The SG&A ratio decreased to 12.5% in the second
quarter of 2000 from 13.4% in the second quarter of 1999. The decrease in the
SG&A ratio, due to the increased enrollment and revenue, provides the
opportunity to leverage the increased revenue with long-range investments
including e-commerce technology, systems infrastructure and customer service
enhancements. These investments, while impacting the SG&A ratio, will contribute
operational improvements and efficiencies. The Company expects the SG&A ratio to
increase throughout the remainder of the year as these investments occur.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2000 was $4.1 million compared to $1.2
million in the second quarter of 1999. The increase is primarily the result of a
net increase in long-term debt of approximately $160 million beginning in the
third quarter of 1999.

Income before income taxes and minority interest increased $11.6 million to
$39.6 million in the second quarter of 2000 from $28.0 million in the second
quarter of 1999. The increase is a result of higher investment income of $4.6
million and a $13.1 million increase in operating income (defined as premium and
fee revenues and other revenues less medical and other benefit costs and
selling, general and administrative expenses), offset by higher interest expense
of $2.9 million and increased net realized losses of $3.1 million. Operating
income increased primarily due to growth in the health insurance segment.

The effective tax rate on income before income taxes and minority interest for
the second quarter of 2000 and 1999 was 24.6% and 32.9%, respectively. The
effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to
the Company's investments in tax-exempt municipal bonds and a $2.7 million tax
benefit recorded during the second quarter of 2000 related to the sale of
Mid-South.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

Premium and fee revenues increased 10.1% to $1.2 billion in the first six months
of 2000 from $1.1 billion in the first six months of 1999. The $111.6 million
increase is due to a combination of rate increases and enrollment growth in the
Company's health insurance segment's HMO and PPO networks, offset by expected
declines in the segment's PAR network enrollment and the third quarter 1999
Mid-South market exit. Commercial revenue from the Virginia HMO, PPO and PAR
networks increased 20.7% to $904.7 million in the first six months of 2000 from
$749.6 million in the first six months of 1999. This increase is attributed to a
14.4% increase in member months and a 5.5% increase in revenue per member. The
Mid-South market exit resulted in a $68.0 million decrease in commercial
revenue. Overall, premium revenues on a per member per month basis for the
Company's commercial business increased 8.5% to $147.62 for the first six months
of 2000 from $136.05 for the first six months of 1999. Self-funded margins
increased $10.8 million or 15.7% due to a 12.5% increase in margin per member
per month. The government segment's FEP revenues increased 6.3% to $227.9
million from $214.3 million in the first six months of last year. The increase
is due to increased medical costs to be reimbursed by OPM and a 2.5% increase in
enrollment.

Investment income increased 23.3% to $56.0 million in the first six months of
2000 from $45.4 million in the first six months of 1999. Net realized losses
decreased to $5.4 million in the first six months of 2000 from $14.1 million in
the first six months of 1999. The increase in investment income is due to growth
in investment assets caused by positive operating cash flow, favorable total
return on investments and an increase in long-term debt during the second
quarter of 1999. The decline in net realized losses for the first six months of
2000 is due to more favorable market conditions for fixed income securities.

Medical costs increased 9.3% to $957.5 million in the first six months of 2000
from $875.8 million in the first six months of 1999. The $81.7 million increase
is a result of growth in the Virginia health insurance segment's commercial
enrollment partially offset by Mid-South's market exit in the third quarter of
1999, expected levels of medical cost inflation and an increase in the
government segment's FEP medical costs reimbursed by OPM. The medical cost per
member per month for the Company's commercial business increased 8.1% to $120.77
in the first six months of 2000 from $111.70 in the first six months of 1999.
Combined with an 8.5% increase in commercial premium revenues per member per
month, the loss ratio on commercial business decreased to 81.8% in the first six
months of 2000 from 82.1% in the first six months of 1999. As a result of
medical cost management initiatives, cost and utilization trends have been
maintained at levels consistent with current pricing and margin objectives. The
implementation of the "three-tier" drug benefit co-pay program continues to
positively impact pharmacy costs with a cost trend of 7.1% for the twelve month
period ended June 30, 2000 compared to 10.2% for the twelve month period ended
June 30, 1999. The Company has negotiated a new pharmacy contract to be
effective January 1, 2001 that will improve the contractual arrangement.
Outpatient cost per member increased 2.1% for the twelve month period ended June
30, 2000 as outpatient fee schedules continue to benefit cost trends. The
Company continues to take an active role in working with physicians through
peer-to-peer communication and implementation of national medical management
guidelines.

SG&A expenses increased by 3.3% to $226.5 million in the first six months of
2000 from $219.3 million in the first six months of 1999. This increase is
attributed to the incremental commissions and operations costs resulting from
the enrollment increase offset by the reduction of expenses due to Mid-South.
The SG&A ratio decreased to 12.4% in the first six months of 2000 from 13.4% in
the first six months of 1999. The decrease in the SG&A ratio, due to the
increased enrollment and revenue, provides the opportunity to leverage the
increased revenue with long-range investments including e-commerce technology,
systems infrastructure and customer service enhancements. These investments,
while impacting the SG&A ratio, will contribute operational improvements and
efficiencies. The Company expects the SG&A ratio to increase throughout the
remainder of the year as these investments occur.

Interest expense in the first six months of 2000 was $8.1 million compared to
$2.4 million in the first six months of 1999. The increase is primarily the
result of a net increase in long-term debt of approximately $160 million
beginning in the third quarter of 1999.

Income before income taxes and minority interest increased $35.4 million to
$82.3 million in the first six months of 2000 from $46.9 million in the first
six months of 1999. The increase is a result of decreased net realized losses of
$8.7 million, higher investment income of $10.6 million and a $21.8 million
increase in operating income (defined as premium and fee revenues and other
revenues less medical and other benefit costs and selling, general and
administrative expenses), offset by higher interest expense of $5.7 million.
Operating income increased primarily due to growth in the health insurance
segment.

The effective tax rate on income before income taxes and minority interest for
the first six months of 2000 and 1999 was 28.8% and 33.1%, respectively. The
effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to
the Company's investments in tax-exempt municipal bonds and a $2.7 million tax
benefit recorded during the second quarter of 2000 related to the sale of
Mid-South.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of cash are premiums and fees received and
investment income. The primary uses of cash include health care benefit expenses
and capitation payments, brokers' and agents' commissions, administrative
expenses, income taxes and repayment of long-term debt. Trigon generally
receives premium revenues in advance of anticipated claims for related health
care services.

The Company's investment policies are designed to provide liquidity to meet
anticipated payment obligations and preserve capital. Trigon fundamentally
believes that concentrations of investments in any one asset class are unwise
due to constantly changing interest rates as well as market and economic
conditions. Accordingly, the Company maintains a diversified investment
portfolio consisting both of fixed income and equity securities, with the
objective of producing a consistently growing income stream and maximizing
risk-adjusted total return. The fixed income portfolio includes government and
corporate securities, both domestic and international, with an average quality

                                       17
<PAGE>

rating of "A" as of June 30, 2000. The portfolio had an average contractual
maturity of 7.4 years as of June 30, 2000. A portion of the fixed income
portfolio is designated as a short-term fixed income portfolio and is intended
to cover near-term cash flow needs and to serve as a buffer for unanticipated
business needs. The equity portfolios contain readily marketable securities
ranging from small growth to well-established Fortune 500 companies. The
international portfolio is diversified by industry, country and currency-related
exposure. As of June 30, 2000, the Company's equity exposure, comprised of
direct equity as well as equity-indexed investments, was 12% of the total
portfolio, as compared to 14% as of December 31, 1999.

The Company has a $300 million revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of
banks, which expires February 2002. In conjunction with the issuance of
commercial paper notes during the first quarter of 2000, the Company repaid the
outstanding balance of $245 million during the first quarter of 2000. There were
no amounts borrowed under this agreement as of and for the three months ended
June 30, 2000.

In March 2000, the Company commenced a private placement commercial paper
program providing for the issuance of up to $300 million in aggregate maturity
value of commercial paper notes. As of June 30, 2000, outstanding notes under
the commercial paper program totaled approximately $244.9 million with an
average maturity of 25 days. The commercial paper is backed by the revolving
credit agreement. The commercial paper notes have been classified as long-term
debt in the consolidated statements of financial condition based on the
Company's ability and intent to maintain borrowings of at least this amount for
more than one year.

The Company commenced its previously announced second stock repurchase program
in February 2000 following completion of its first stock repurchase program.
During the second quarter of 2000, the Company purchased and retired 19,000
shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $929,000 bringing the
total shares purchased during 2000 to 555,906 at a cost of approximately $17.3
million.

The Company believes that cash flow generated by operations and its cash and
investment balances will be sufficient to fund continuing operations, capital
expenditures and debt repayment costs for the foreseeable future. The nature of
the Company's operations is such that cash receipts are principally premium
revenues typically received up to three months prior to the expected cash
payment for related health care services. The Company's operations are not
capital intensive, and there are currently no commitments for major capital
expenditures to support existing business.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a result of its investing and borrowing activities, the Company is exposed to
financial market risks, specifically those resulting from changes in interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates and marketable equity security prices. No
material changes have occurred in the Company's exposure to financial market
risks since December 31, 1999. A discussion of the Company's market risk is
incorporated by reference in Part II, Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

(a)  On June 9, 2000, the Company's subsidiary, Trigon Insurance Company, filed
     a lawsuit against the federal government for the recovery of federal income
     tax overpayments for the years 1989 through 1995. If successful, the
     Company expects to recover approximately $60 million in cash refunds plus
     interest of about $40 million and to receive tax refunds for the years 1996
     through 1999 of about $15 million. In addition, if the Company is
     successful it could receive substantial additional tax credits that could
     lower federal income tax liability in future years.

     The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern
     District of Virginia, relates to the initial valuation and deductibility of
     the Company's assets when, along with other Blue Cross Blue Shield
     organizations, it became subject to federal income taxation in 1987. As
     part of this change in tax status, Congress provided that if a Blue Cross
     or Blue Shield organization disposed of an asset that it had acquired while
     tax-exempt, its taxable gain or loss would be computed by reference to the
     asset's fair market value at the time the organization became subject to
     tax. The Company is seeking deductions for losses incurred on the
     termination of certain customer and provider contracts that were held by it
     on January 1, 1987, based on the fair market value of the contracts on that
     date.

     The Internal Revenue Service asserts that the Company is not entitled to
     deduct losses incurred on the termination of these contracts. The
     resolution of the Company's refund claim is subject to uncertainties,
     including whether the court will allow the deductions and, if so, the
     amount of the deductions that will be allowed. While the Company believes
     that its claim is meritorious, it cannot predict the ultimate outcome of
     the claim.

     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various other
     legal actions occurring in the normal course of their business. While the
     ultimate outcome of such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, in
     the opinion of Company management, after consultation with counsel
     responsible for such litigation, the outcome of those actions is not
     expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and
     results of operations of the Company.
