          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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
Humana Inc.'s (the "Company") Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1993.

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)   Income Tax Settlement and Unusual Charge

During the second quarter ended June 30, 1994, the Company settled certain
income tax disputes with the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and
reduced the net book value of a nonoperational asset to its estimated fair
value.  As a result of the two separate events which are more fully
described below, Humana's net income for the second quarter ending June
30, 1994 was increased by $17 million or $.10 per share.

    Income Tax Settlement

    The Company received $71 million in income tax refunds for the
    settlement of disputes with the IRS regarding the timing of medical
    claims deductions and the deductibility of intangible amortization for
    tax years 1988 through 1991.  The Company had previously prepaid tax
    and interest for these issues for the 1988 and 1989 tax years to stop
    the accrual of interest on the disputed amounts.

    As a result of the settlement, the Company recognized a $29 million
    ($18 million or $.11 per share after tax) reduction of interest
    expense and a $10 million ($.06 per share) reduction of tax expense,
    both of which represented the cumulative effect from 1988 to present
    of amounts provided for the disputed items.  The remainder of the
    refund reduced the deferred tax asset carried on the Company's balance
    sheet.

    Unusual Charge

    The Company reduced the net book value of a nonoperational asset to its
    estimated fair market value.  As a result, the Company recorded a pretax
    charge totaling $18 million ($11 million or $.07 per share after tax).

    (C)  Subsequent Event

    On August 15, 1994, the Company received notification from the National
    Committee for Quality Assurance ("NCQA") that its South Florida health
    plan had been denied accreditation.  The NCQA denial was based upon a site
    visit conducted in July 1993.  In anticipation of the denial, the Company
    and the State of Florida (the "State") developed a corrective action 
    process that Humana is implementing under the supervision of Florida's
    Agency for Health Care Administration.  In additon to assisting in the 
    development of the corrective action process, the State completed its own
    site visit of the South Florida plan in August 1994.  The Health Care
    Financing Administration ("HCFA") has also undertaken an investigation of
    the South Florida plan.  The Company expects no material effects on its
    operations as a result of the denial of accreditation by NCQA or the HCFA
    investigation.

       Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Humana Inc.

The Company offers managed health care products which integrate financing
and management with the delivery of health care services through a network
of providers who share financial risk or who have incentives to deliver
cost-effective medical services.  These products are marketed primarily
through health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and preferred provider
organizations ("PPOs") that encourage, and in most HMO products require,
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 HMO and PPO products of Humana are primarily marketed to employer and
other groups ("Commercial") and Medicare-eligible individuals.  The
products marketed to Medicare-eligible individuals are either HMO products
that provide health care services which include all Medicare benefits and,
in certain circumstances, additional health care services that are not
included in Medicare benefits ("Medicare risk") or indemnity insurance
policies that supplement Medicare benefits ("Medicare supplement").

Results of Operations

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 1994 and 1993

The Company's premium revenues increased 15 percent to $897 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1994, compared to $778 million for the same
period in 1993.  The increase in premium revenues is attributable to same-
store Commercial and Medicare risk membership gains, premium rate
increases of 4.3 percent for the Commercial product and 4.2 percent for
the Medicare risk product, and the February 28, 1994 acquisition of Group
Health Association ("GHA"), an HMO located in Washington, D.C.  GHA
premium revenues during the second quarter of 1994 totaled $50 million.

Same-store Commercial and Medicare risk membership gains for the quarter
ended June 30, 1994, were 6,700 and 4,600, respectively and compare
favorably to the membership declines in the same period a year ago
(decreases of 800 and 400, respectively).  For 1994, the Company
anticipates that same-store Commercial and Medicare risk membership gains
will range between 7 and 10 percent.  Medicare supplement membership
declined during the quarter ended June 30, 1994, continuing the decline
which resulted from management's decision to increase premiums to more
closely approximate competitive levels and to close certain markets.

The medical loss ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, was 81.9
percent compared to 84.8 percent for the same period in 1993.  The loss
ratio improvement was primarily due to decreased hospital utilization in
both the Commercial and Medicare risk products and a reduction in the
Medicare risk product's rate of growth for physician and other medical
services costs.  Patient days per thousand members decreased 7 percent to
271 days per thousand for the Commercial product and 12 percent to 1,388
days per thousand for the Medicare risk product.   Additional improvements
in hospital and other medical services costs are necessary to achieve
further reductions in the medical loss ratio since premium rate increases
in both the Commercial and Medicare risk products are expected to
approximate 4 percent for the remainder of 1994.

       Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Humana Inc.

The administrative cost ratio was 13.6 percent and 13.1 percent for the
quarters ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The increase is the
result of additional spending for the expansion of market service areas,
costs associated with the acquisition of GHA, and increased marketing
efforts.  Additional development spending is anticipated for the remainder
of 1994 as the Company continues its strategy of expanding into contiguous
markets.

The Company's income before income taxes totaled $68 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1994, compared to $30 million for the same period
in 1993.  Income before income taxes in 1994 includes $29 million related
to the favorable settlement of tax disputes with the IRS and an $18
million charge related to the write-down of a nonoperational asset.  Net
income increased from $19 million or $.12 per share to $54 million or $.33
per share for the quarters ended June 30, 1993 and 1994, respectively. 
Included in the second quarter of 1994's net income is $17 million or $.10
per share related to the nonrecurring items described above.  The
prospective beneficial effect of these items will approximate $.04 per
share and $.05 per share in 1994 and 1995, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 and 1993

The Company's premium revenues increased 12 percent to $1.8 billion for
the six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to $1.6 billion for the same
period in 1993.  The increase in premium revenues is attributable to same-
store Commercial and Medicare risk membership gains of 95,300, premium
rate increases of 3.7 percent for the Commercial product and 4.0 percent
for the Medicare risk product, and the acquisition of GHA.  GHA premium
revenues, since the February 28, 1994 acquisition totaled $67 million.

On a same-store basis, Commercial membership increased 57,100 during the
six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to a decrease of 24,600 for the
six months ended June 30, 1993.  During this same period, Medicare risk
membership increased 10,400 compared to an increase of 1,900 members in
the same period a year ago.  Medicare supplement membership declined
during the six months ended June 30, 1994, continuing the decline which
resulted from management's decision to increase premiums to more closely
approximate competitive levels and to close certain markets.

The medical loss ratio for the six months ended June 30, 1994 was 82.2
percent compared to 84.5 percent for the same period in 1993.  The
reduction was primarily attributable to continued improvement in hospital
utilization in both the Commercial and Medicare risk products and a
reduction in the rate of growth for physician and other medical services
costs in the Medicare risk product.  Patient days per thousand members
relative to the same six months ended June 30, 1993, decreased 5 percent
to 279 days per thousand for the Commercial product and 8 percent to 1,490
days per thousand for the Medicare risk product.  Additional improvements
in hospital and other medical services costs are necessary to achieve
further reductions in the medical loss ratio since premium rate increases
in both the Commercial and Medicare risk products are expected to
approximate 4 percent for the remainder of 1994.

       Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Humana Inc.

The administrative cost ratio was 13.5 percent and 13.3 percent for the
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The increase is a
result of additional spending for the expansion of market service areas,
costs associated with the acquisition of GHA, and increased marketing
efforts.  Additional development spending is anticipated for the remainder
of 1994 as the Company continues its strategy of expanding into contiguous
markets.

The Company's income before income taxes totaled $119 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1994 compared to $59 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1993.  Pretax income for 1994 includes $29 million related
to the favorable settlement of tax disputes with the IRS and an $18
million charge related to the write-down of a nonoperational asset.  Net
income increased from $37 million or $.23 per share to $86 million or $.53
per share for the six months ended June 30, 1993 and 1994, respectively. 
Included in net income for the six months ended June 30, 1994, is $17
million or $.10 per share related to the nonrecurring items described
above.  The prospective beneficial effect of these items will approximate
$.04 per share and $.05 per share in 1994 and 1995, respectively.


Liquidity

Cash provided by the Company's operations totaled $132 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1994 compared to cash used by operations of $24
million for the six months ended June 30, 1993.  The timing of the receipt
of Medicare risk premiums reduced cash provided by operations by $110
million and $102 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  Excluding the effect of the timing of Medicare risk
premiums, cash provided by operations was $242 million and $78 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The increase
in cash provided by operations was primarily attributable to increased net
income, the settlement of the tax disputes with the IRS, and the timing of
payments for medical costs and other payables.

The Company's current assets exceeded current liabilities by $159 million
and $231 million at June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively. 
The reduction in net working capital is primarily attributable to Humana's
policy of classifying unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities as long-term to conform with their intended use.

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.  At June 30,
1994, the Company had approximately $300 million of unrestricted cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities compared to $247 million at
December 31, 1993.

Management believes that existing working capital, including the
aforementioned unrestricted funds, cash flows from operations and the
availability of the Company's $200 million line of credit will be
sufficient to meet future liquidity needs.

       Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Humana Inc.

Capital Resources

The Company's ongoing capital expenditures relate primarily to 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 1994 will approximate
$45 million to $50 million compared to $28 million in 1993.  The increase
in 1994 capital spending relates primarily to the refurbishing and
equipping of the Company's staff model primary care facilities, including
those located in Washington D.C.  Management believes that its capital
spending program is adequate to expand, improve and equip its existing
business.


Other Information

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
program, 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. 
HCFA's Office of the Actuary recently announced the projected national
average rate of increase for 1995 under these contracts to be 7.9 percent. 
The final rate of increase for 1995 will be announced September 7, 1994. 
When the final rate increase is determined, geographic and other
adjustments could significantly affect the Company's actual 1995 increase.

Congress is in the process of evaluating a number of legislative proposals
that would effect major changes in the United States health care system. 
Legislative reform is not anticipated before the latter part of 1994 and
implementation of any reform package could take several additional years. 
In general, managed care is being considered as a means by which health
care costs may be reduced.  At this time, it is not possible to predict
the final form these proposals will take or the effect these proposals may
have on the Company, although management believes the Company is well
positioned to take advantage of the opportunities which will be afforded
by health care reform.  

In addition to federal reform, various states in which the Company
operates have implemented or are in the process of implementing changes in
the delivery of health care.  Again, it is not possible to predict the
final form these proposals will take or the effect these changes may have
on the Company.

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 financial position or results of
operations.

Part II:  Other Information

Item 1:  Legal Proceedings

         A class action law suit styled Mary Forsyth, et al v. Humana
         Inc., et al, Case #CV-5-89-249-PMP (L.R.L.), was filed on March
         29, 1989, in the United States District Court for the District of
         Nevada (the "Forsyth" case).  The claims asserted by the
         plaintiffs included an ERISA count seeking $49,440,000 of damages
         plus approximately $15,396,000 of interest, a RICO count seeking
         $103,562,165 of damages (before trebling) plus approximately
         $31,800,000 of interest, and an antitrust count for an
         unspecified amount of damages which appeared to be similar to
         those sought in the RICO count.  Despite allegations made by the
         plaintiffs, the Company considered the substance of these claims
         to be a dispute concerning the calculation of health insurance
         benefits and believed the claimed damages were greatly in excess
         of any possible recovery even if the plaintiffs were successful.

         On July 21, 1993, summary judgment was entered in favor of the
         Company on all counts, although the court granted the co-payer
         class until August 24, 1993, to file a third amended complaint in
         which its members could seek to recover the difference between
         their co-insurance payments and what those payments would have
         been if co-insurance obligations of the co-payer class had
         originally been based on the discounted payments made by Humana
         Health Insurance Company of Nevada to Sunrise Hospital and
         Medical Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, (now owned by Columbia/HCA
         Healthcare Corporation).

         On August 24, 1993, a third amended complaint styled Marietta
         Cade, et al v. Humana Health Insurance of Nevada, Inc., et al was
         filed seeking damages as described above.  On January 28, 1994,
         summary judgment was entered in favor of plaintiffs on this third
         amended complaint and the Court subsequently approved a schedule of
         damages in the total amount of $1.6 million, plus $700,000 in
         prejudment interest.  On July 1, 1994, the plaintiff's filed a
         Notice of Appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit,
         seeking reinstatement of all previously dismissed counts.  The
         Company believes the final resolution of this litigation will not
         have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial
         position.

Ratio of earnings to fixed charges     25.9      12.4    23.2       12.1



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 rents.  For purposes of calculating
the Ratio, 1994 earnings and interest expense exclude the impact of nonrecurring
items related to the favorable settlement of tax disputes with the Internal
Revenue Service and the write-down of a nonoperational asset.
