                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Administration Committee
     of the Old Republic International Corporation
     Employees Savings and Stock Ownership Plan
Chicago, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of Old Republic International Corporation Employees Savings and Stock
Ownership Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the two years in
the period ended December 31, 1993.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based upon our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Old Republic International
Corporation Series B and D preferred shares (D preferred shares only at December
31, 1993) have been valued at fair value as determined by the Board of
Directors, based on appraisals received from an investment banker.  Such
preferred shares amount to $100,711,477 and $129,483,151 at December 31, 1993
and 1992 (66.2% and 75% respectively of total plan assets).  We have reviewed
the procedures applied by the Directors in valuing such securities and have
inspected underlying documentation and in the circumstances, we believe the
procedures are reasonable and the documentation appropriate.  However, because
of the inherent uncertainty of the valuation, the Board of Directors' estimate
of fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been
used had a ready market existed for the securities, and the differences could be
material.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules listed in the
accompanying index are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 and by the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-X.  The
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements, and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                     OLD REPUBLIC INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
                   EMPLOYEES SAVINGS AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   __________

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      A.   Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying financial statements of the Old Republic International
        Corporation Employees Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan)
        include plan assets for employees of Old Republic International
        Corporation (the Corporation), and participating subsidiaries (the
        Companies or Employers).

    B.  Investments

        Investments in the Collective Trust-Short-term Investment Fund of the
        Northern Trust Company (Northern), are valued by the Northern at cost
        which approximates fair value, and consist of short term obligations.
        Investments in the Collective Trust - Intermediate Bond Fund that are
        traded on Security Exchanges are valued by the Trustee at the last
        sales price on the valuation date or, in the absence of any sales, at
        the bid price on the valuation date.  Securities traded
        over-the-counter are valued at the final bid price on the valuation
        date.  Temporary investments in short-term securities are carried at
        cost, which approximates market value.  Investments in Old Republic
        International Corporation Series B and Series D preferred stocks
        (Series D only at December 1993), which have not been registered, are
        stated at an appraised value based on opinions submitted by an
        investment banker.  Old Republic International Corporation common stock
        is stated at closing market value on the last business day of the year.

        The Plan presents in the statements of changes in net assets the net
        appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which
        consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized
        appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. For purposes of
        generally accepted accounting principles the Plan uses the historical
        cost method for determining the basis of its investments, whereas, for
        ERISA reporting purposes the Plan uses the current value method for
        determining the basis of its investments.  Purchases and sales of
        securities are reflected on a trade-date basis.  Gain or loss on sales
        of securities are based on the average cost  method.  Interest income
        is recorded as earned and dividend income is recorded as earned on the
        ex-dividend date.  Investments in securities of Old Republic
        International Corporation have been adjusted to reflect a 2 for 1 stock
        split declared on March 19, 1992, and effective May 8, 1992.

    C.  Contributions

        Contributions from employees (savings) are recorded in the period in
        which the Companies make payroll deductions from Plan participants. 
        Participants elect the amount of contribution which ranges from a
        minimum of 1% to a maximum of 15% of recognized compensation as defined
        in the Plan.  Any employee who does not contribute to the Plan will not
        receive a Company matching contribution.  Employee contributions up to
        6% will be matched.  However, the maximum amount of contribution which
        can be matched per employee cannot exceed $9,000 (6% of $150,000) per
        Plan year.  The maximum amount which can be withheld is 15% limited to
        $22,500 (15% of $150,000).

    C.  Contributions, Continued
      
        There is no penalty for withdrawing a part of accumulated employee
        savings and earnings thereon.  Participants may withdraw the lower of
        $15,000 or 50% of their accumulated savings balance as of the most
        recent calculation date (June 30 or December 31) in any one year
        without penalty.  Such withdrawals are permitted only  on January 1 or
        July 1 of each year.


        The company matching contribution is based on the following formula:


        Percentage of       If the percentage increase in average operating 
        Recognized Compen-  earnings per share for the most recent five year
        sation Contributed  period is:

          .  The percentage increase in average operating earnings per share is
             obtained by comparing the average operating earnings per share for
             the Company for the five years ending with the calculation year,
             with the same average for the five years ending the year prior to
             the calculation year.  Operating earnings per share are determined
             pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles and are equal
             to net income per share exclusive of realized capital gains or
             losses and extraordinary items and income taxes applicable
             thereto.

   C.  Contributions, Continued

         Company matching contributions are allocated on December 31, and a Plan
         participant receives a matching contribution only if:

         .  the Companies meet certain minimum profit objectives;

         .  the participant completes 1,000 or more hours of service during the
year;

         .  the participant is employed by one of the Companies on December 31
            of that year,  died during the year, or retired during the year
            after age 65.

         Additional amounts from consolidated annual net profits after taxes or
accumulated   earnings as the Board of Directors of the Companies may determine
from time to time may be added to the contributions resulting from the above
formula.  The amount of the Companies' contributions are subject to the
following limitations:

        .   No contribution shall be made if the Companies' consolidated annual
            net profit  before extraordinary items and taxes is less than
            $2,500,000.

        .   No contribution shall be made by any Employer for any fiscal year
            which exceeds  the maximum amount currently deductible by that
            Employer under section 404 of the  Internal Revenue Code.

        .   No contribution shall be made by any Employer for any fiscal year
            which would cause its total contribution to exceed the amount of its
            annual net profit before taxes and its accumulated earnings.

         The above, not-withstanding for 1993 only the company matching
         contribution has been calculated in the normal fashion and is
         represented by interest recoveries on previous years' advances from
         Plan Sponsor (See Note 9).  As a result, 1993 Plan participants
         benefitted from an extra contribution stemming from such interest
         recoveries.  This extra contribution of $588,013 has been allocated to
         Plan participants as regular earnings.  Coupled with the normal
         contribution amount of $1,272,075, participants were allocated to their
         Employer Account a total of $1,860,088 or about 46% more than the
         amount allocable under normal circumstances.

         Office personnel, space and equipment are furnished by the Companies at
         no charge to the Plan.  All other administrative expenses of the Plan
         are paid by and reflected as expenses of the Plan.

2.  Benefits

     The benefits a Plan participant receives depends upon amounts allocated to
     his accounts under the Plan.  Amounts in his accounts are affected by the
     amount of employee contributions he makes, his vested interest in his
     matching contributions and discretionary contributions, forfeitures, and
     earnings.

     When a Plan participant makes employee contributions, his employee
     contributions are allocated to his "Employee Account."  Earnings are
     allocated to each Plan participant's Employee Account on a semi-annual
     basis, based upon the performance of the investment fund that the Plan
     participant has selected.  Upon termination of service for any reason, a
     Plan participant receives all amounts in his Employee Account.

     Each year, the matching contributions and discretionary contributions are
     allocated to the "Company Accounts" of Plan participants.  If a Plan
     participant terminates service with the Companies, the amount that he
     receives from his Employer Account depends upon his vested interest in such
     account.  A Plan participant vests in his Company Account based on his
     "Years of Service," according to the following table:


              Years of Service       Vesting Schedule            
              ----------------       ---------------

2.  Benefits, Continued

     A Plan participant earns a Year of Service for each year prior to January
     1, 1978 in which he was employed full-time by a Company.  On and after
     January 1, 1978, a Plan participant earns a Year of Service for each
     calendar year during which he completes 1,000 or more hours of service for
     the Companies.  However, a Plan participant will become 100% vested in his
     Employer Account prior to seven years of service if:

        .   the Plan participant has reached age 65, or
        .   termination is caused by death, or
        .   termination is caused by total and permanent disability which
            renders the employee incapable of performing satisfactory service
            for the Companies.

     The amount a Plan participant receives from his Employer Account is also
     affected by forfeitures, earnings, and released shares.  If a Plan
     participant terminates service prior to full vesting, the non-vested
     portion of his Employer Account is forfeited.  Forfeited amounts are re-
     allocated to remaining participants who made employee contributions,
     completed 1,000 or more hours of service for the companies during the year,
     and are employed by the Companies on December 31 or terminated service due
     to retirement on or after age 65, death,or total and permanent disability. 
     Forfeitures are allocated based upon the ratio of the Plan participant's
     recognized compensation to the recognized compensation of all Plan
     participants.  In addition to forfeitures, the balance in a Plan
     participant's Employer Account is affected by the net cash revenues over
     expenses of the Corporation's stock fund plus the market value of shares
     released to participants from payment of loan principal and/or interest
     during the year.

4. ERISA Compliance

     The Plan became effective January 1, 1978, and accordingly, was drafted, as
     were subsequent amendments and restatements, to comply with the provisions
     of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA" or "the
     ACT"), as amended from time to time.

5.  Termination Priorities

     The Corporation reserves the right, either with or without formal action,
     to terminate the Plan.  Each Employer reserves the right to permanently
     discontinue its contributions to the Plan.  In the event that an Employer
     permanently discontinues its contributions to the Plan, or the Corporation
     terminates the Plan, or the Plan is partially terminated under operation of
     law, the accounts of the affected participants shall be fully vested and
     non-forfeitable.  In addition, because the Plan is a defined contribution
     plan and not a defined benefit plan, no termination priorities apply to the
     Plan under ERISA.

6.   Notes Payable to Banks

     The following table sets forth certain data with respect to debt assumed by
     the Plan  and guaranteed by the Corporation:

                                                             ===========

     Except for loan proceeds of $100,037, all proceeds were used by the Plan to
     acquire preferred and common shares of the Corporation, as indicated above,
     at appraised values.  Remaining funds were utilized to meet periodic cash
     needs or to refinance existing loans. Series "B" preferred shares acquired
     with proceeds of the 1979 loan, carry an annual cumulative dividend rate of
     $.148 per share, have a minimum redemption value of $2.47 per share in 1994
     and subsequent years, have one vote per share and are convertible into
     common stock of the Corporation commencing in 1994, under certain
     circumstances, at the rate of five shares of Series "B" preferred stock for
     one common share.  The Series "D" preferred stock has a cumulative annual
     dividend rate of $.130 per share, has a minimum redemption value of $1.30
     after July 1, 1987, and subsequent years at the option of the Corporation,
     has one vote per share and is convertible into common stock of the
     Corporation  at any time at the rate of five shares of Series"D" preferred
     stock for one common share.

     On January 26, 1993, the Plan converted all remaining Series B
     preferred.shares into common stock of the Corporation (See Note 3).

6.   Notes Payable to Bank, Continued

     It is anticipated that principal and interest payments on the Plan's loans
     are to be met by the Companies' annual profit sharing contributions,
     interest on funds invested, and dividends on the Corporation's preferred
     and common stock.

     During 1988, a number of loans with an aggregate outstanding principal
     balance of $23,374,234 were refinanced.  $11,084,234 was refinanced with
     the Corporation and $12,290,000 was refinanced with a bank.  The
     refinancing resulted in the extension of loan payments into 1998.

     In January 1994, the Plan refinanced a portion of its borrowings. The net
     effect of the refinancing was to decrease the 1994 principal repayment by
     $2,700,000 while increasing the 1997 and 1998 principal repayments by
     $1,700,000 and $1,000,000, respectively.

     The interest rate on loans with the Corporation is set at 1.5% in excess of
     the current rate on six month certificates of deposit.  The new Bank loans
     carry an interest rate at 75% of the Prime Rate.  The interest rates on
     other Bank loans are set at 1.5% in excess of the current rate on six month
     certificates of deposit or at 80% to 84% of the Prime Rate.

7.   Tax Status

     The Internal Revenue Service on April 4, 1986, issued a determination
     letter stating that the Plan, as amended, was qualified under Section 401
     of the Internal Revenue Code and the Plan was exempt under the provisions
     of Section 501(a).

     In-service withdrawals which were previously available on employees'
     contributions only, are now partially taxable once they have exceeded an
     employees' gross contributions through December 31, 1986.  This taxability
     arises because the Act now considers withdrawals to include earnings as
     well as contributions.

     Distributions made prior to a Plan participant's death, disability, or
     attainment of age 59.5 may be subject to a 10% penalty unless such
     distributions are rolled over into another qualified retirement plan or
     individual retirement account ("IRA").  All such distributions are subject
     to penalty except for distributions that are part of a series of
     substantially equal periodic payments made over the life of the Plan
     participant or the joint lives of the Plan participant and his beneficiary,
     distributions to a Plan participant after separation from service and
     attainment of age 55, and distributions to pay certain medical expenses.

     No federal income tax consequences result to a Plan participant,
     beneficiary, or estate by reason of participation in the Plan until a
     distribution is made.  Unless the distribution qualifies for special tax
     treatment for lump sum distributions described in the following paragraphs,
     the amount received including the fair market value of any common stock on
     the date of distribution will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates in the
     same manner as an annuity.  This means that a portion of each distribution
     is excluded from tax.  The excluded portion is that part of the payment
     that bears the same ratio to the whole payment as the Plan Participant's
     employee contributions bear to the total value of his accounts.

                        EMPLOYEES SAVINGS AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
                                        __________
7.   Tax Status, Continued

     The distribution will qualify as a "lump-sum distribution" if the Plan
     participant receives the entire balance of his accounts within one taxable
     year, the Plan participant has participated in the Plan for five or more
     taxable years before the taxable year of distribution, and the distribution
     results from the Plan participant's separation from service with the
     Company or after the Plan participant has attained age 59-1/2.  A
     distribution received by a beneficiary will also qualify as a "lump-sum
     distribution" if the entire balance of the Plan participant's account is
     received within one taxable year by the beneficiary by reason of the Plan
     participant's death.

     If a distribution qualifies as a "lump sum distribution" under the Internal
     Revenue Code, and if no part of the distribution is rolled over, a Plan
     participant may elect to have the entire amount of the distribution taxed
     as ordinary income or under the special 5-year averaging rule.  The special
     5-year averaging rule generally may be used only if the individual is age
     59.5 at the time of the distribution and may be used only once.  A special
     phase-out rule allows limited use of capital gains treatment between 1987
     and 1991.  By 1992, capital gains treatment will be entirely eliminated,
     except for certain individuals who have reached age 50 by January 1, 1986.

     Individuals who have reached age 50 by January 1, 1986, may, in general: 
     elect to use the 5-year averaging provisions (using the tax rates in effect
     in the year of distribution) or the 10-year averaging provisions (using the
     1986 tax rates), and elect to apply the pre-1986 capital gains rules (using
     a 20 percent rate).  A Plan participant that elects to use the averaging
     methods under this transitional rule on a lump sum received prior to
     attainment of age 59.5 may not use either the 5-year or 10-year averaging

     For distributions that exceed $150,000 in any one year, there may be an
     additional 15% excise tax.  If five year forward averaging is used, the
     excise tax, if any, will be applied to distributions that exceed five times
     $150,000.  The distribution limitation applies to the total of
     distributions from all qualified retirement plans and IRA's not only the
     Plan.

     If a participant or the spouse of a deceased participant receives a
     distribution from the Plan that qualifies for "lump-sum distribution" tax
     treatment, or receives a distribution that would qualify for such treatment
     except for failure to meet the five years of participation requirement, the
     individual may "roll over" the distribution in excess of his employee
     contributions to an IRA in which case the individual would not have to pay
     a tax at the time of the distribution on the amount transferred to the 
     IRA.  At the time of receipt of a distribution from the IRA, the individual
     will have to pay a tax at ordinary income tax rates ( subject to the
     tax on personal service income) on the amount distributed.

     This summary of the federal tax laws presents only a brief general
     statement of complex tax laws and regulations which are subject to change
     at any time.  Specific federal and state tax treatment relating to a
     distribution should be carefully considered by a participant (or
     beneficiary) or reviewed with a tax advisor prior to making any elections
     and filing returns for a tax year in which the distribution is made.

8.   Alternative Investment Funds

     In November, 1982, the Plan was amended to permit participants to transfer
     monies from Fund "A", the primary goal of which is protection of capital
     and stability of income through investments in high-grade, liquid
     investments, into a newly created Fund "O", and to elect to have their
     future contributions to the Plan invested, in whole or in part, in Fund
     "O".

                                        __________

8.   Alternative Investment Funds, Continued

     Under the terms of the Plan, Fund "O" may be invested by the Trustee upon
     the direction of the Plan's Administration Committee ("Committee") in any
     property, real or personal and shares of stock, whether common or
     preferred, voting trust certificates, bonds, mortgages, secured or
     unsecured obligations, notes, annuity and life insurance contracts, whether
     group or individual, and other securities and property of every kind and
     description as the Committee selects (including securities of the Company
     or any Employer under the Plan and any subsidiary or affiliate of the
     Company or an Employer). Fund "O" may, as a result, be more speculative and
     may incur a higher degree of risk than Fund "A" since the Committee is
     permitted to direct the Trustee to invest in private offerings, joint
     ventures, small, unseasoned or embryonic companies without a record of
     earnings, companies not traded on an established market, and other
     investments.  The Committee has the authority to direct the Trustee to
     borrow, pledging Fund "O" assets.

     At December 31, 1993 there were 1,397 participants in Fund "O" and 3,323
     participants in Fund "A".

     Effective January 1, 1989, the Tax Reform Act provided that plan
     participants who reach age 55 and have 10 years of service in the Plan are
     provided with the option of diversifying a portion of their companies'
     account balance out of company stock and into alternative investment funds.

 
     The diversification is limited to 25% of all company stock acquired after
     December 31, 1986.  After age 60 (and with 10 years of service in the
     plan), such participants have the right to diversify up to 50% of all
     company stock acquired after December 31, 1986.  The period to make the
     election to diversify is during the first 90 days of the calendar year in
     which a participant attains age 55 and has completed 10 years of service in
     the plan.

     The investment options available for diversification at December 31, 1993
     are:

     Fund "E" -   Short-term investment fund composed of high grade money
                  market investments with very short-term maturities.
     Fund "F" -   Intermediate-term fund composed of high-grade securities with
                  maturities of five years or less.
     Fund "G" -   Open ended no load mutual fund with primary objective being
                  capital appreciation.

     At December 31, 1993, there were 13 participants in Fund "E", 11
     participants in Fund "F" and 42 participants in Fund "G".

9.   Advances from Plan Sponsor

     On March 2, 1993, following a regular audit of the ESSOP, the Department of
     Labor informally questioned whether the advances made by the Corporation to
     the Plan were prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA.  Although
     ERISA generally prohibits loans between a plan and its sponsor, several
     exceptions are recognized which the Corporation and the Plan believe to be
     applicable to the advances in question.  Nevertheless, in order to resolve
     the issue as expeditiously as possible, the Plan repaid all advances owed
     to the Corporation and, as of the end of March, 1993, the Corporation
     repaid to the Plan all interest on advances paid to the Corporation (with
     interest thereon) by the Plan, since 1986.
