    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 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.

(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.

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

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.

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.

</TABLE>
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.
