CIGNA CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CIGNA Corporation
and all significant subsidiaries (CIGNA). These consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform with the 1995
presentation.
The interim financial statements are unaudited but include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary, in the opinion of
management, for a fair statement of financial position and results of
operations for the periods reported.
The preparation of interim financial statements necessarily relies heavily on
estimates. This and certain other factors, such as the seasonal nature of
portions of the insurance business as well as competitive and other market
conditions, call for caution in drawing specific conclusions from interim
results.
NOTE 2-NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which provides guidance on
the accounting and disclosure for impaired loans. In October 1994, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income
Recognition and Disclosures," which eliminates the income recognition
requirements of SFAS No. 114. CIGNA adopted SFAS Nos. 114 and 118 in the first
quarter of 1995, which resulted in an $8 million increase in net income.
In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 121
requires write-down to fair value when long-lived assets to be held and used
are impaired. Long-lived assets to be disposed, including real estate held for
sale, must be carried at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.
In addition, SFAS No. 121 prohibits depreciation of long-lived assets to be
disposed. SFAS No. 121 must be implemented by the first quarter of 1996 with
the cumulative effect of implementation for assets being held for disposal
reported in net income. CIGNA has not determined the timing or effect of
adoption of this standard; however, the effect on CIGNA's results of
operations, liquidity and financial condition is not expected to be material.

NOTE 3-INVESTMENTS
REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES
Realized gains and losses on investments, excluding policyholder share, were as
follows:

Income taxes 8 8 46 15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net realized gains $16 $15 $160 $29
------------------------------------------------------========================================================
FIXED MATURITIES
During the second quarter and six months of 1995, proceeds from sales of
available-for-sale fixed maturities and equities, including policyholder share,
were $1.9 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively, compared with $1.4 billion
and $3.1 billion for the same periods last year. The second quarter 1995 sales
resulted in gross gains and gross losses of $93 million and $49 million,
respectively, compared with gains of $51 million and losses of $46 million for
the same period last year. Sales for the six months of 1995 resulted in gross
gains of $273 million and gross losses of $68 million, compared with gains of
$107 million and losses of $93 million for the same period last year.
During the second quarter and six months of 1995, $66 million and $153 million
of fixed maturities classified as held to maturity were transferred to the
available for sale category, resulting in the recognition in Shareholders'
Equity of unrealized depreciation of $5 million and $10 million, net of taxes,
respectively. During the second quarter of 1994, $14 million of
held-to-maturity fixed maturities were sold, resulting in gross proceeds of $12
million and a realized pre-tax loss of $2 million. Such transfers and sales
were the result of significant credit deterioration of the issuers of the
affected investments. There were no sales of held-to-maturity fixed maturities
during the first six months of 1995; and there were no transfers of such
investments in the first six months of 1994.
During the second quarter and six months of 1995, Net Unrealized Appreciation -
Fixed Maturities included in Shareholders' Equity, which is net of policyholder
share and deferred income taxes, increased by $469 million and $682 million,
respectively, compared with decreases of $331 million and $820 million for the
same periods last year.

MORTGAGE LOANS
As of June 30, 1995, CIGNA's total investment in impaired mortgage loans was
$910 million, including $522 million, before valuation reserves totalling $100
million, and $388 million which had no valuation reserves. During the six
months of 1995, valuation reserves for mortgage loans, including policyholder
share, decreased from $179 million as of December 31, 1994 to $100 million as
of June 30, 1995. The net decrease for the six months reflects: (1) a $4
million net decrease in valuation reserves, (2) $29 million of charge-offs, and
(3) $46 million of reserves transferred to real estate for foreclosed mortgage
loans that were reclassified to real estate investments.
For the second quarter and six months of 1995, the average recorded investment
in impaired mortgage loans (average calculated using impaired mortgage loans
before reserves) was approximately $950 million and $1.1 billion, respectively,
and interest income recorded on these loans was approximately $20 million ($16
million on a cash basis and $4 million on an accrual basis) and $37 million
($28 million on a cash basis and $9 million on an accrual basis), respectively.
NOTE 4-EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share were based on net income divided by weighted average common
shares, including common share equivalents, as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, June 30,
(in thousands) 1995 1994 1995 1994
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted average common shares - primary 72,616 72,398 72,529 72,299
Weighted average common shares - fully diluted 76,326 76,090 76,223 75,958
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For purposes of computing fully diluted earnings per share, CIGNA's 8.2%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures are considered to have been converted to
CIGNA common stock (3.6 million shares as of June 30, 1995 and 1994) and the
related interest expense ($4 million after-tax for the quarter ended June 30,
1995 and 1994; $7 million after-tax for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994) has been excluded from net income.
Common shares held as Treasury shares were 10,912,750 and 10,813,125 as of June
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
NOTE 5-INCOME TAXES
CIGNA's federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS), and provisions are made in the financial statements in
anticipation of the results of these audits. The IRS has completed audits of
the years 1982 through 1990. Except for two issues which are being contested,
CIGNA resolved all issues arising out of the audits. One issue, relating only
to years prior to 1989, could result in an assessment of approximately $190
million for those years. The other issue, which relates to years 1989 and
1990, and for years thereafter, could result in an assessment of approximately
$140 million. CIGNA is contesting the first issue in court and appealing the
second issue with the IRS. Although the outcomes of both issues are uncertain,
management believes that CIGNA should prevail.
In management's opinion, adequate tax liabilities have been established for all
years.
As of June 30, 1995, CIGNA had tax basis operating loss carryforwards of $225
million.

9
NOTE 6-REINSURANCE
In the normal course of business, CIGNA's insurance subsidiaries enter into
agreements, primarily relating to short-duration contracts, to assume and cede
reinsurance with other insurance companies. Reinsurance is ceded primarily to
limit losses from large exposures and to permit recovery of a portion of direct
losses, although ceded reinsurance does not relieve the originating insurer of
liability. CIGNA evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and
monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions,
activities or economic characteristics of its reinsurers. Failure of
reinsurers to indemnify CIGNA, as a result of reinsurer insolvencies or
disputes, could result in losses. Allowances for uncollectible amounts were
$450 million and $435 million as of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
respectively. While future charges for unrecoverable reinsurance may
materially affect results of operations in future periods, such amounts are not
expected to have a material adverse effect on CIGNA's liquidity or financial
condition.
For the second quarter and six months of 1995, premiums and fees were net of
ceded premiums of $542 million and $937 million, respectively. For the second
quarter and six months of 1994, premiums and fees were net of ceded premiums of
$487 million and $979 million, respectively. In addition, benefits, losses and
settlement expenses for the second quarter and six months of 1995 were net of
reinsurance recoveries of $349 million and $629 million, respectively.
Benefits, losses and settlement expenses for the second quarter and six months
of 1994 were net of reinsurance recoveries of $508 million and $1.1 billion,
respectively.
NOTE 7-CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS
FINANCIAL GUARANTEES
CIGNA, through its subsidiaries, is contingently liable for various financial
guarantees provided in the ordinary course of business. These include
guarantees for the repayment of industrial revenue bonds as well as other debt
instruments. Although the ultimate outcome of any loss contingencies arising
from CIGNA's financial guarantees may adversely affect results of operations in
future periods, they are not expected to have a material adverse effect on
CIGNA's liquidity or financial condition.
REGULATORY AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS
CIGNA's businesses are subject to a changing social, economic, legal,
legislative and regulatory environment that could affect them. Some of the
changes include initiatives to: revise the system of funding cleanup of
environmental damages; develop standards for estimating currently
unquantifiable liabilities; reinterpret insurance contracts long after the
policies were written to provide coverage unanticipated by CIGNA; restrict
insurance pricing and the application of underwriting standards; reform health
care; restrict investment practices; and expand regulation.
Superfund, originally enacted in 1980, expires this year and new legislation is
expected to be introduced in Congress. Any changes in Superfund relating to:
(1) allocating responsibility; (2) funding cleanup costs; or (3) establishing
cleanup standards could affect the liabilities of potentially responsible
parties and insurers. Due to uncertainties associated with the timing and
content of any future Superfund legislation, the effect on CIGNA's results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition cannot be reasonably estimated at
this time.
7
10
CIGNA expects proposals for federal and state legislation seeking modest health
care insurance reform and limitations on formation and operation of efficient
health care networks. Due to uncertainties associated with the timing and
content of any health care legislation, the effect on CIGNA's future results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition cannot be reasonably estimated at
this time.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has model
solvency-related guidelines ("risk-based capital" rules) that were developed to
strengthen solvency regulation of insurance companies. At June 30, 1995,
CIGNA's life insurance and property and casualty insurance subsidiaries were
adequately capitalized under the risk-based capital rules. As the risk-based
capital guidelines for property and casualty insurers become more stringent in
future years, additional capital for the property and casualty subsidiaries may
be needed; however, the amount and timing of additional capital contributions
will depend on future results of operations.
Also, the NAIC is addressing risk-based capital guidelines for health
maintenance organizations (HMOs) and a proposal that would limit the types and
amounts of investment assets that can be held. CIGNA does not expect such
guidelines to have a material adverse effect on its future results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition.
The eventual effect on CIGNA of the changing environment in which it operates
remains uncertain.
ASBESTOS-RELATED, ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND OTHER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE CLAIMS
Reserving for asbestos-related, environmental pollution and certain other
long-term exposure claims remains subject to significant uncertainties, as
discussed in Note 16 to CIGNA's 1994 Financial Statements and in the 1994 Form
10-K. Developed case law and adequate claim history do not exist for such
claims. CIGNA and the insurance industry dispute coverage for the
environmental pollution and some asbestos-related liabilities of their
policyholders. In addition to the coverage lawsuits, CIGNA shares in the
expense of defending underlying litigation against its policyholders. The
outcome of the coverage litigation will assist in the determination of amounts
that might be paid in the future for similar claims. The legal costs
associated with these coverage lawsuits constitute a significant portion of
CIGNA's losses for these claims to date. Reinsurance for these types of claims
may become subject to similar contested coverage issues. Because of these
significant uncertainties, CIGNA is unable to reasonably estimate its ultimate
liability for these claims.
The American Academy of Actuaries has initiated a project to develop standards
for estimating currently unquantifiable liabilities, such as those for
asbestos-related and environmental pollution claims. In addition, as industry
experience in dealing with these exposures has accumulated, various
industry-related parties recently have begun to evaluate more sophisticated
methods for estimating asbestos-related and environmental pollution liabilities
and have developed data bases to supplement the information that can be derived
from a company's claim files. The methods include market share analyses and
analyses of profiles of specific policyholders and the policy coverages and
limits issued to them historically.
CIGNA continues to evaluate these and other methods, applying additional data
available from an external data base, to determine if they can be used to
reasonably estimate reserves for asbestos-related or environmental pollution
claims to a greater extent than has been possible in the past. CIGNA's
evaluation process includes more comprehensive analyses of internal and
external claims data and settlement history using enhancements to its systems.
Separately, an
8
11
outside actuarial firm has been retained by a state insurance department in
conjunction with a quadrennial NAIC zone examination of certain of CIGNA's
property and casualty subsidiaries. The firm will apply its methods to develop
possible outcomes of asbestos-related and environmental pollution liability.
That work is not yet complete. CIGNA expects to complete its own analysis
during the third or fourth quarter of 1995, and the outcome could be material
to CIGNA's results of operations and financial condition.
LITIGATION
CIGNA is continuously involved in numerous lawsuits arising, for the most part,
in the ordinary course of business, either as a liability insurer defending
third-party claims brought against its insureds or as an insurer defending
coverage claims brought against it by its policyholders or other insurers.
While the outcome of all litigation involving CIGNA, including
insurance-related litigation, cannot be determined, litigation (other than that
related to asbestos, environmental pollution and other long-term exposure
claims, which is discussed above) is not expected to result in losses that
differ from recorded reserves by amounts that would be material to results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition. Also, reinsurance recoveries
related to claims in litigation, net of the allowance for uncollectible
reinsurance, are not expected to result in recoveries that differ from recorded
recoverables by amounts that would be material to results of operations,
liquidity or financial condition.
RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES
As a result of premium declines in its domestic property and casualty
operations, CIGNA is currently developing a plan to reduce operating expenses.
The plan is expected to be completed and approved during the third quarter and
could result in a pre-tax charge to earnings of as much as $75 million,
resulting in a comparable amount of pre-tax annual cost savings.
In addition, CIGNA is developing a plan to reduce expenses for the Employee
Life and Health Benefits segment. The plan is also expected to be completed
and approved during the third quarter and could result in a pre-tax charge to
earnings of as much as $30 million, resulting in pre-tax annual cost savings of
at least twice the charge.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion addresses the financial condition of CIGNA Corporation
(CIGNA) as of June 30, 1995, compared with December 31, 1994, and its results
of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with
the same periods last year. This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the Management's Discussion and Analysis section included in CIGNA's 1994
Annual Report to Shareholders (pages 8 through 23) and in CIGNA's report on
Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 1995, to which the reader is directed for
additional information. Due to the seasonality of certain aspects of CIGNA's
business, caution should be used in estimating results for the full year based
on interim results of operations.
CIGNA's businesses are subject to a changing social, economic, legal,
legislative and regulatory environment that could affect them. Some of the
changes include initiatives to: revise the system of funding cleanup of
environmental damages; develop standards for estimating currently
unquantifiable liabilities; reinterpret insurance contracts long after the
policies were written to provide coverage unanticipated by CIGNA; restrict
insurance pricing and the application of underwriting standards; reform health
care; restrict investment practices; and expand regulation. The eventual
effect on CIGNA of the changing environment in which it operates remains
uncertain. For more detailed information on these and other contingencies, see
Note 7 to the Financial Statements and see page 21 regarding CIGNA's
comprehensive evaluation of asbestos-related and environmental pollution
liabilities. Such evaluation is expected to be completed in the third or fourth
quarter, the outcome of which could be material to CIGNA's results of
operations and financial condition. Also, see Note 5 regarding proposed IRS
assessments of approximately $330 million. CIGNA is currently contesting the
assessments and believes it should prevail.
In early 1995, A.M. Best Company, Inc. ("Best") assigned the rating of A-,
which is under review with "developing implications," to CIGNA's new domestic
property and casualty pool group and downgraded its other pool of companies to
a B+ rating, which is under review with "negative implications". CIGNA is
working to remove the "under review" status of the ratings for its property and
casualty companies.
During 1993, CIGNA restructured the operations of the Property and Casualty
segment (both the domestic and international operations) and the Employee Life
and Health Benefits segment. These actions were taken to reduce operating
expenses by the elimination of certain payroll and lease costs in future years.
As of June 30, 1995, there were no material changes to the costs associated
with, or the anticipated annual savings related to, these initiatives.
As a result of premium declines in its domestic property and casualty
operations, CIGNA is currently developing a plan to reduce operating expenses.
The plan is expected to be completed and approved during the third quarter and
could result in a pre-tax charge to earnings of as much as $75 million,
resulting in a comparable amount of pre-tax annual cost savings.
In addition, CIGNA is developing a plan to reduce expenses in the Employee Life
and Health Benefits segment. The plan is also expected to be completed and
approved during the third quarter and could result in a pre-tax charge to
earnings of as much as $30 million, resulting in pre-tax annual cost savings of
at least twice the charge.
Based on a review of its business strategies, CIGNA substantially withdrew from
the property and casualty reinsurance business in late 1994. CIGNA continues
to conduct strategic and financial reviews of its businesses in order to deploy
its capital most effectively. Such reviews could result in future actions;
however, no determinations have been made at this time.

In the first quarter of 1995, CIGNA adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,"
and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income
Recognition and Disclosures," which resulted in an $8 million increase in
after-tax realized investment results. SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
was issued in the first quarter of 1995, and is effective for 1996 financial
statements. CIGNA has not yet determined the timing or effect of adoption of
this standard; however, the effect on CIGNA's results of operations, liquidity
and financial condition is not expected to be material. See Note 2 to the
Financial Statements for additional information.

CIGNA's 1995 consolidated net income increased 52% and 99% for the second
quarter and six months of 1995 from the same periods last year. Excluding
after-tax realized investment gains, income for the second quarter and six
months of 1995 was $189 million and $335 million, compared with $120 million
and $220 million for the same periods last year. These improvements primarily
reflect lower losses in the Property and Casualty segment.
After-tax realized investment gains for the second quarter were comparable with
gains for the same period last year. For the six months of 1995, after-tax
realized investment gains increased significantly due to higher gains on sales
of equity securities resulting from a restructuring of a portion of CIGNA's
investment portfolio into fixed income securities. For additional information,
see Note 3 to the Financial Statements.
Consolidated revenues, excluding realized investment gains, for the second
quarter and six months of 1995 increased 5% and 3% from the same periods last
year, primarily reflecting higher premiums and fees for the Employee Life and
Health Benefits segment and higher net investment income for the Individual
Financial Services segment, partially offset by lower premiums and fees for the
Property and Casualty segment.
Full year results for 1995 are expected to improve, compared with 1994.
However, results could be materially adversely affected by the outcome of the
previously mentioned evaluation of asbestos-related and environmental pollution
liabilities and major catastrophes.

Net income for the Employee Life and Health Benefits segment increased 9% for
the second quarter and 28% for the six months of 1995, compared with the same
periods last year. Excluding after-tax realized investment gains, income was
$129 million and $233 million for the second quarter and six months of 1995,
compared with $130 million and $249 million for the same periods last year.
Earnings for the segment's indemnity operations declined by $1 million in the
second quarter and $14 million for the six months, compared with the same
periods last year, reflecting higher claims in the group medical and life
operations. The decline for the quarter was partially offset by improved
earnings of $5 million after-tax for long-term disability (LTD) business.
Earnings for the segment's HMO operations were level for the second quarter and
declined by $2 million for the six months, compared with the same periods last
year. These results reflect the favorable effects of membership growth offset
by higher operating expenses associated with business growth and investments in
service initiatives, medical cost pressures in certain locations, lower margins
resulting from higher than expected medical care costs and, to a lesser extent,
mandated California Medicaid rate reductions. Earnings for the remainder of
1995 are expected to be constrained due to these factors.
Premiums and fees for the second quarter and six months of 1995 increased 8%
and 6%, compared with the same periods last year. The improvements reflect an
increase of $47 million and $121 million in group indemnity businesses due to
new sales and rate increases for the medical line of business ($84 million for
the quarter and $130 million for the six months), partially offset by declines
in the LTD line of business ($28 million for the quarter and $33 million for
the six months). For the second quarter and six months, the increase also
reflects higher premiums and fees for HMOs of $95 million and $118 million
primarily due to membership growth. Growth in premiums is expected to be
constrained by competitive pressures in both the medical indemnity and HMO
markets.
Total HMO membership increased 16%, compared with June 30, 1994, and 9%
compared with December 31, 1994. Approximately 80% of membership growth for
1995 has been in HMO alternative funding programs under which the customer
assumes all or a portion of the responsibility for funding claims. Such
programs generally have lower margins than traditional HMO plans.
13
16
Management believes that adding premium equivalents to premiums and fees
(adjusted premiums and fees) produces a more meaningful measure of business
volume. Adjusted premiums and fees for the second quarter and six months of
1995 were approximately $4.5 billion and $9.0 billion, compared with $4.2
billion and $8.7 billion for the same periods last year. These increases
primarily reflect the factors noted previously for premiums and fees as well as
growth in HMO alternative funding programs, partially offset by declines in
medical premium equivalents reflecting cancellations and conversions to HMOs.
Premium equivalents, as a percentage of total adjusted premiums and fees, were
55% for the six months of 1995 and 1994. Administrative Services Only (ASO)
plans accounted for 45% of total adjusted premiums and fees for the six months
of 1995 and 1994.
Net investment income for the second quarter and six months increased 15% and
11%, compared with the same periods last year primarily reflecting a change in
investment asset mix to include more fixed maturities and less equity
securities.

Net income for the Employee Retirement and Savings Benefits segment decreased
6% for the second quarter and increased 2% for the six months of 1995, compared
with the same periods of 1994. Excluding after-tax realized investment
results, income was $46 million and $95 million for the second quarter and six
months of 1995, compared with $44 million and $92 million for the same periods
last year. The second quarter and six month increases primarily reflect the
favorable effects on earnings from asset growth.
Premiums and fees decreased 11% and 7% for the second quarter and six months of
1995, compared with the same periods last year, primarily reflecting lower
annuity sales. Net investment income increased 3% for the second quarter,
compared with the same period last year, reflecting income from leveraged
capital fund investments. The 2% decline in net investment income for the six
months of 1995, compared with the same period last year, reflects lower yields,
partially offset by income from leveraged capital fund investments.
Assets under management is generally a key determinant of earnings for this
segment. For the six months ended June 30, assets under management and related
activity, including amounts attributable to separate accounts, were as follows:
=====================================================================================================
(in millions) 1995 1994
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=====================================================================================================

18
Approximately 60% and 53% of the premiums and deposits for 1995 and 1994,
respectively, were from new customers. The higher level of premiums and
deposits in the first six months of 1995, compared with the same period last
year reflects increased sales. The changes in the fair value of assets for
1995 and 1994 primarily reflect market value fluctuations for both equity
securities and fixed maturities.
Management expects asset growth for the remainder of 1995 to continue to be
constrained resulting from decisions by plan sponsors to diversify assets and
fund management. In addition, the fair value of assets under management will
be affected by any future change in interest rates.

year. Excluding after-tax realized investment results, income was $45 million
and $76 million for the second quarter and six months of 1995, compared with
$37 million and $63 million for the same periods last year. These increases
reflect higher earnings from interest-sensitive products, primarily reflecting
business growth, partially offset by unfavorable mortality. In addition, the
quarter and six month results reflect earnings of $4 million after-tax for
additional proceeds from the 1992 sale of a substantial portion of CIGNA's
mutual fund business.
Premiums and fees declined for both the second quarter and six months of 1995,
compared with the same periods of 1994. These declines reflect lower premiums
for a product that is no longer actively marketed, partially offset by growth
in business, primarily of interest-sensitive products (principally
corporate-owned life insurance).
Net investment income for the second quarter and six months of 1995 increased
32% and 33%, compared with the same periods last year, reflecting sales of
interest-sensitive and annuity products. The increase in benefits and expenses
for the second quarter and six months reflects growth in interest-sensitive
products.

Net income (loss) ($10) ($67) $16 ($147)
========================== ========================
The improvement in "Underlying operations" for the second quarter and six
months of 1995, compared with the same periods last year was primarily driven
by lower current accident year underwriting losses due to favorable claim
experience and rate increases on certain lines of business, and higher net
investment income for both the domestic and international operations. Although
its results are improving, CIGNA's domestic business continues to reflect the
highly competitive pricing environment.
Pre-tax catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance, ("catastrophe losses") were $35
million and $5 million for the second quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Through six months, catastrophe losses were $51 million in 1995, compared with
$135 million for the same period last year. Catastrophe losses for the second
quarter and six months of 1995 include $30 million for Texas hail storms.
Catastrophe losses for the six months of 1994 include $91 million for the Los
Angeles earthquake and $33 million for the severe winter weather. The effects
of reinsurance on catastrophe losses in the second quarter and six months of
1995 and 1994 were not material.
Premiums and fees for the second quarter and the six months of 1995 decreased
3% and 4% from the same periods last year. These declines primarily reflect
reduced premiums of $89 million for the quarter and $187 million for the six
months in CIGNA's domestic commercial business due to continued competition,
the application of stricter underwriting standards and, to a lesser extent,
conversions of workers' compensation business from standard risk transfer to
high-deductible policies, and the ratings downgrade by Best. In addition, the
declines reflect a decrease in premiums and fees from the reinsurance business
of $52 million and $88 million for the quarter and six months, respectively,
due to CIGNA's withdrawal from this business late in 1994. These declines were
partially offset by growth in international lines of business of $114 million
and $185 million for the quarter and six months, respectively. Premiums and
fees are expected to continue to be depressed through 1995 for the reasons
18
21
noted above; however, CIGNA does not expect the premium decline to be material
to its future results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Net investment income for the second quarter and the six months of 1995
increased 17% and 7%, compared with the same periods last year, primarily
reflecting growth in international lines of business, higher investment yields
and $4 million from leveraged capital fund investments, partially offset by
negative cash flows in the domestic property and casualty operations.
LOSS RESERVES AND REINSURANCE RECOVERABLES
CIGNA's reserving methodology and significant issues affecting the estimation
of loss reserves are described in its 1994 Form 10-K.
In summary, CIGNA's loss reserves of $16.6 billion and $16.8 billion as of June
30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively, are an estimate of future
payments for reported and unreported claims for losses and related expenses
with respect to insured events that have occurred. The basic assumption
underlying the many standard actuarial and other methods used in the estimation
of property and casualty loss reserves is that past experience is an
appropriate basis for predicting future events. However, current trends and
other factors that would modify past experience are also considered.
Estimating property and casualty reserves is a complex process that relies
heavily on judgment and is subject to uncertainties that are normal, recurring
and inherent. CIGNA revises its estimate of the liability for insured events
of prior years as new data become available.
CIGNA continually attempts to improve its loss estimation process by refining
its process of analyzing loss development patterns, claims payments and other
information, but there remain many reasons for adverse development of estimated
ultimate liabilities. For example, the uncertainties inherent in estimating
losses have grown in the last decade because of changes in social and legal
trends that expand the liability of insureds, establish new liabilities and
reinterpret insurance contracts long after the policies were written to provide
coverage unanticipated by CIGNA. Such changes from past experience
significantly affect the ability of insurers to estimate liabilities for unpaid
losses and related expenses.
The following table shows the adverse/(favorable) pre-tax effects on CIGNA's
results of operations from prior year development, net of reinsurance, for the
second quarter and six months ended June 30:

CIGNA's reserves for asbestos-related and environmental pollution exposures
were $557 million ($298 million, net of reinsurance) and $706 million ($549
million, net of reinsurance), respectively, as of June 30, 1995, compared with
$594 million ($281 million, net of reinsurance) and $707 million ($542 million,
net of reinsurance) as of December 31, 1994. Asbestos-related and
environmental pollution reserves at June 30, 1994 were $627 million ($271
million, net of reinsurance) and $649 million ($503 million, net of
reinsurance), respectively.
Since the mid-1980's, when CIGNA established a separate unit to handle its
asbestos-related and environmental pollution claims, it has followed an
aggressive resolution strategy for these claims. When appropriate, CIGNA has
settled claims with its policyholders, often obtaining full policy releases.
While CIGNA believes that its ultimate asbestos-related and environmental
pollution exposure has been reduced by this strategy, it has also resulted in
accelerating the recognition of incurred and paid claims and claim adjustment
expenses. The effects in recent years of the resolution strategy have been,
and will continue to be, particularly significant for environmental pollution
claims because of substantial coverage uncertainties associated with such
claims.
Reserves for environmental pollution claims and related incurred expense and
payment activity include internal costs to manage such claims and disputes with
policyholders over insurance coverage issues as well as external
litigation-related costs for such disputes. Costs associated with disputed
coverage issues will decline in the future, and eventually end, as the disputes
or related issues are resolved. To present CIGNA's environmental reserves and
related activity that more directly relates to indemnity costs and costs to
defend policyholders against environmental pollution claims for the six months
ended June 30, the following table excludes internal costs and external
litigation-related costs for insurance coverage disputes.

====================================================================================================================================
CIGNA continues to receive asbestos-related, environmental pollution and other
long-term exposure claims asserting a right to recovery under insurance
policies issued by CIGNA.
The majority of CIGNA's losses and legal expenses for asbestos-related,
environmental pollution and other long-term exposure claims arise from its
domestic property and casualty operations. As of June 30, 1995 and December
31, 1994, approximately 1,225 and 1,175 policyholders, respectively, had
asbestos-related claims outstanding with the domestic operations. CIGNA
continues to litigate certain asbestos-related coverage issues, with 31
lawsuits pending which involve 22 insureds as of June 30, 1995, compared with
37 lawsuits pending which involve 22 insureds as of December 31, 1994. It is
not possible to determine CIGNA's potential liability for asbestos-related
claims based on the number of policyholders with claims outstanding because
additional information (which is not known for unreported claims) would be
needed for such determination.
The domestic operations had approximately 15,150 environmental pollution files
outstanding at June 30, 1995, compared with 15,000 at December 31, 1994. A
file represents each policyholder involved at a site, regardless of the number
or type of claims asserted against the policyholder or the number or type of
insurance policies (primary or excess) under which coverage is asserted. CIGNA
disputes coverage for essentially all environmental pollution claims, and is
involved in 434 coverage lawsuits with 353 insureds as of June 30, 1995,
compared with 450 coverage lawsuits involving 411 insureds as of December 31,
1994. Accordingly, and because of the many unresolved legal and factual issues
related to environmental pollution cases, liabilities for these types of claims
cannot be estimated from the number of environmental pollution files
outstanding.
20
23
Superfund, originally enacted in 1980, expires this year and new legislation is
expected to be introduced in Congress. Any changes in Superfund relating to:
(1) allocating responsibility; (2) funding cleanup costs; or (3) establishing
cleanup standards could affect the liabilities of potentially responsible
parties and insurers. Due to uncertainties associated with the timing and
content of any future Superfund legislation, the effect on CIGNA's results of
operations, liquidity or financial condition cannot be reasonably estimated at
this time.
Standard actuarial methods cannot be used in the estimation of liabilities for
asbestos-related, environmental pollution and certain other long-term exposure
claims because developed case law and adequate history do not exist for such
claims. In addition, CIGNA and the insurance industry are litigating issues
that will ultimately determine, in many cases, whether insurance coverage
exists. Determination that coverage exists would result in the emergence of
additional liabilities. CIGNA has been a major writer of commercial insurance
policies, which are subject to these types of claims.
Reserving for asbestos-related, environmental pollution and certain other
long-term exposure claims remains subject to significant uncertainties, as
discussed in Note 16 to CIGNA's 1994 Financial Statements and in the 1994 Form
10-K. Because of these uncertainties, CIGNA is unable to reasonably estimate
its ultimate liability for these claims. The American Academy of Actuaries has
initiated a project to develop standards for estimating currently
unquantifiable liabilities, such as those for asbestos-related and
environmental pollution claims. In addition, as industry experience in dealing
with these exposures has accumulated, various industry-related parties recently
have begun to evaluate more sophisticated methods for estimating
asbestos-related and environmental pollution liabilities and have developed
data bases to supplement the information that can be derived from a company's
claim files. The methods include market share analyses and analyses of
profiles of specific policyholders and the policy coverages and limits issued
to them historically.
CIGNA continues to evaluate these and other methods, applying additional data
available from an external data base, to determine if they can be used to
reasonably estimate reserves for asbestos-related or environmental pollution
claims to a greater extent than has been possible in the past. CIGNA's
evaluation process includes more comprehensive analyses of internal and
external claims data and settlement history using enhancements to its systems.
Separately, an outside actuarial firm has been retained by a state insurance
department in conjunction with a quadrennial NAIC zone examination of certain
of CIGNA's property and casualty subsidiaries. The firm will apply its methods
to develop possible outcomes of asbestos-related and environmental pollution
liability. That work is not yet complete. CIGNA expects to complete its own
analysis during the third or fourth quarter of 1995, and the outcome could be
material to CIGNA's results of operations and financial condition.
The increase in workers' compensation loss development primarily reflects
unfavorable claim experience for experience-rated and high deductible
coverages.
Other prior year development in 1995 was primarily attributable to favorable
reserve development on commercial packages and commercial fire lines of
business, partially offset by other long-term exposures. For the comparable
period in 1994, other prior year development was primarily attributable to
other long-term exposures and reinsurance, partially offset by favorable
development on the commercial fire line of business.
CIGNA's reinsurance recoverables were approximately $7 billion and $7.1 billion
as of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, net of allowances of $450 million
and $435 million, respectively.
CIGNA expects to continue to have significant recoveries from its reinsurance
arrangements, including recoveries of asbestos-related and environmental
pollution losses. However, the extent of recoveries in the aggregate,
including for asbestos-related and environmental pollution losses, will depend
on future gross loss experience and the particular reinsurance arrangements to
which future losses relate.
21
24
Losses for unrecoverable reinsurance are principally due to the failure of
reinsurers to indemnify CIGNA, primarily because of reinsurer insolvencies and
disputes under reinsurance contracts. Reinsurance disputes have increased in
recent years, particularly on larger and more complex claims such as those
related to professional liability, asbestos and London reinsurance market
exposures. Reinsurance disputes may increase in the future, and are likely to
include disputes related to environmental pollution. Allowances have been
established for amounts deemed uncollectible. While future charges for
unrecoverable reinsurance may materially affect results of operations in future
periods, such amounts are not expected to have a material adverse effect on
CIGNA's liquidity or financial condition.
In management's judgement, information currently available has been
appropriately considered in estimating CIGNA's loss reserves and reinsurance
recoverables.
22
25
OTHER OPERATIONS
Other Operations primarily includes unallocated investment income, expenses
(principally debt service) and taxes. Also included in Other Operations are
the results of CIGNA's settlement annuity business and non-insurance operations
engaged primarily in investment and real estate activities.
Other Operations had losses of $21 million and $26 million for the second
quarter and six months of 1995, compared with losses of $24 million and $29
million for the same periods last year. After-tax realized investment results
for the second quarter and six months of 1995 were losses of $2 million and
gains of $12 million, respectively. There were no net after-tax realized
investment results in the second quarter of 1994. After-tax realized
investment results for the six months of 1994 were losses of $6 million.
Excluding after-tax realized investment results and a $20 million after-tax
gain from the 1994 sale of a business, losses were $19 million and $24 million
for the second quarters of 1995 and 1994; losses for the six months of 1995 and
1994 were $38 million and $43 million. The declines in losses reflect overall
lower expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity for CIGNA and its insurance subsidiaries has remained strong as
evidenced by significant amounts of short-term investments and cash and cash
equivalents in the aggregate. Generally, CIGNA has met its operating
requirements by maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity in its investment
portfolio and through utilization of overall positive cash flows.
During 1995, cash and cash equivalents increased slightly from $1.7 billion as
of December 31, 1994. This increase primarily reflects deposits and interest
credited, net of withdrawals, to contractholder deposit funds ($1.5 billion);
the issuance of long-term debt ($88 million); and cash flows from operating
activities ($718 million), primarily resulting from earnings and the timing of
cash receipts and cash disbursements. The increase in cash flows was partially
offset by cash used for investing activities ($2.2 billion), primarily net
investment purchases ($2.1 billion); and payments of dividends on CIGNA common
stock ($108 million). In addition, cash flow from operating activities was
constrained by negative cash flow of approximately $270 million from the
property and casualty business, reflecting claim payments related to insurance
reserves established in prior periods, and operating losses.
CIGNA's capital resources represent funds available for long-term business
commitments and primarily consist of retained earnings and proceeds from the
issuance of long-term debt and equity securities. CIGNA's financial strength
provides the capacity and flexibility to enable it to raise funds in the
capital markets through the issuance of such securities. CIGNA continues to be
well capitalized, with sufficient borrowing capacity to meet the anticipated
needs of its businesses.
CIGNA had $1.47 billion of long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 1995,
compared with $1.39 billion at December 31, 1994. This increase primarily
reflects issuance of $25 million of 7.17% Notes due in 2002, $25 million of
8.16% Notes due in 2000 and $36 million of medium-term notes. The proceeds
from these issuances were used for general corporate purposes. As of June 30,
1995, CIGNA had approximately $800 million remaining under shelf registration
statements that may be issued as debt, equity securities or both, depending
upon market conditions and CIGNA's capital requirements.
At June 30, 1995, CIGNA's short-term debt, primarily commercial paper, amounted
to $249 million, a decrease of $22 million from December 31, 1994.
CIGNA contributed approximately $250 million of capital during 1994 to the
domestic property and casualty operations, as a result of continued losses. In
1995, CIGNA committed to contribute $125 million of capital to its domestic
property and casualty operations by the end of the year. Also, additional
amounts may be needed depending upon the extent of property and casualty
losses; however, such amounts and timing are not reasonably estimable at this
time.

Total investment assets $54,906 $50,919
====================================================================================================================
Additional information regarding CIGNA's investment assets is included in Note
3 to the second quarter 1995 Financial Statements and Notes 1, 3, 4 and 18 to
the 1994 Financial Statements as well as the 1994 Form 10-K.
Significant amounts of CIGNA's investment assets are attributable to
experience-rated contracts with policyholders (policyholder contracts).
Approximate percentages of investments attributable to policyholder contracts
were as follows:
====================================================================================================================
June 30, December 31,
1995 1994
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed maturities 31% 32%
Mortgage loans 57% 57%

FIXED MATURITIES
Investments in fixed maturities (bonds) include publicly traded and private
placement debt securities; asset-backed securities, including collateralized
mortgage obligations (CMOs); and redeemable preferred stocks. As of June 30,
1995, fixed maturities classified as available for sale, including policyholder
share, had an aggregate fair value that was greater (less) than amortized cost
by approximately $1.2 billion, compared with approximately ($378) million as of
December 31, 1994. The increase in unrealized appreciation primarily reflects
the downward movement in interest rates since December 31, 1994.
QUALITY RATINGS
Quality ratings for bonds were as follows (shown as a percentage of bonds):
====================================================================================================
June 30, December 31,
1995 1994
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment grade 95% 94%
Below investment grade:
Available for sale 2 1
Held to maturity 3 5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 100% 100%
====================================================================================================
The quality ratings of CIGNA's below investment grade bonds (BA and below, or
equivalent) are concentrated toward the higher end of the non-investment grade
spectrum. Approximately 30% of below investment grade securities relate to
policyholder contracts.
PROBLEM BONDS
Bonds that are delinquent or restructured as to terms, typically interest rate
and, in certain cases, maturity date, are considered problem bonds. Problem
bonds, including amounts attributable to policyholder contracts, and related
cumulative write-downs were as follows:
====================================================================================================

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem bonds $327 $307
====================================================================================================
POTENTIAL PROBLEM BONDS
Potential problem bonds are fully current but judged by management to have
certain characteristics that increase the likelihood of problem classification.
Potential problem bonds, including amounts attributable to policyholder
contracts, were $145 million as of June 30, 1995, compared with $141 million as
of December 31, 1994. There were no cumulative write-downs for potential
problem bonds as of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994.

Included in the total ending balances above as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 as
well as the balance at December 31, 1994 were $4 million for bonds no longer
classified as problem or potential problem bonds.
The adverse after-tax effect of write-downs on CIGNA's net income for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995 was $4 million and $6 million,
respectively, compared with $6 million and $7 million for the same periods of
1994.
During the six months of 1995 and 1994, bonds with a carrying value of $2
million and $23 million, respectively, were restructured into equity
securities. As of June 30, 1995 and 1994, CIGNA had cumulative write-downs for
equity securities of $58 million (including $16 million attributable to
policyholder contracts), compared with $68 million (including $27 million
attributable to policyholder contracts). As of December 31, 1994, cumulative
write-downs were $57 million (including $14 million attributable to
policyholder contracts).
26
29
EFFECT OF NON-ACCRUALS FOR BONDS
Interest income is recognized on problem bonds only when payment is received.
The adverse effect of non-accruals for bonds (in total and by type) on
policyholder contracts and on CIGNA's net income is shown in the following

======================================================================================================
CIGNA's investment strategy requires diversification of the mortgage loan
portfolio. This strategy includes guidelines relative to property type,
location and borrower to reduce its exposure to potential losses.
Adverse conditions in real estate markets and more stringent lending practices
by financial institutions have affected scheduled maturities of mortgage loans.
During the six months of 1995, $500 million of mortgage loans was scheduled to
mature, of which $97 million was paid in full, $134 million was extended at
existing loan rates for a weighted average of nine months and $213 million was
refinanced at current market rates. Mortgage loan extensions and refinancings
are loans in good standing. The remainder of the scheduled maturities was
problem mortgage loans ($29 million -- foreclosed; $17 million -- restructured;
and $10 million -- delinquent). The effect of not receiving timely cash
payments on maturing mortgage loans is not expected to have a material adverse
effect on CIGNA's future results of operations, liquidity or financial
condition.
28
31
PROBLEM MORTGAGE LOANS
CIGNA's problem mortgage loans include delinquent and restructured mortgage
loans. Delinquent mortgage loans include those on which payment is overdue
generally 60 days or more. Restructured mortgage loans are those whose basic
financial terms have been modified, typically to reduce the interest rate or
extend the maturity. As of June 30, 1995, restructured mortgage loans with a
carrying value of approximately $336 million had their original maturity dates
extended, with an average extension of four years. Restructured mortgage loans
generated annualized cash returns averaging approximately 7 1/2% as of June 30,
1995. During the six months of 1995, approximately $70 million of restructured
mortgage loans were reclassified to loans in good standing since they were
performing under the terms of the restructured loan agreement and, at the time
of restructure, such terms were generally equivalent to terms that CIGNA was
willing to accept for a comparable new loan.
Problem mortgage loans, including amounts attributable to policyholder
contracts, and related valuation reserves were as follows:
==========================================================================================================

513 605
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem mortgage loans $619 $796
==========================================================================================================
POTENTIAL PROBLEM MORTGAGE LOANS
Potential problem mortgage loans include: 1) fully current loans that are
judged by management to have certain characteristics that increase the
likelihood of problem classification, 2) fully current loans for which the
borrower has requested restructuring and 3) loans that are 30 to 59 days
delinquent with respect to interest or principal payments. As of June 30,
1995, all potential problem mortgage loans were fully current under their
original terms. Potential problem mortgage loans, including amounts
attributable to policyholder contracts, and related valuation reserves were as
follows:
==========================================================================================================
June 30, December 31,
(In millions) 1995 1994
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential problem mortgage loans before reserves $220 $405
Less valuation reserves 29 55
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Potential problem mortgage loans $191 $350
==========================================================================================================
As discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements, CIGNA adopted SFAS Nos. 114
and 118. CIGNA's problem and potential problem mortgage loans are considered
impaired under this guidance. Implementation of these standards as of January
1, 1995 resulted in a decline of $29 million in valuation reserves for
potential problem mortgage loans, $16 million attributable to policyholder
contracts and $13 million attributable to CIGNA.

====================================================================================================================================
Economic conditions, including real estate market conditions, have improved.
However, additional losses from problem investments are expected to occur for
specific investments in the normal course of business, particularly due to
continuing weak conditions in certain office building markets. CIGNA does not
expect additional non-accruals, write-downs and reserves to materially affect
future results of operations, liquidity or financial condition, or to result in
a significant decline in the aggregate carrying value of its assets.
