Humana Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
As of December 31, 2004, we maintained aggregate statutory capital and surplus of $1,185.5 million in our
state regulated health insurance subsidiaries. Each of these subsidiaries was in compliance with applicable
statutory requirements which aggregated $717.2 million. Although the minimum required levels of equity are
largely based on premium volume, product mix, and the quality of assets held, minimum requirements can vary
significantly at the state level. Certain states rely on risk-based capital requirements, or RBC, to define the
required levels of equity. RBC is a model developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners to
monitor an entity’s solvency. This calculation indicates recommended minimum levels of required capital and
surplus and signals regulatory measures should actual surplus fall below these recommended levels. If RBC were
adopted by all states at December 31, 2004, each of our subsidiaries would be in compliance and we would have
$405.6 million of aggregate capital and surplus above any of the levels that require corrective action under RBC.
