                        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, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. 
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, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Old Republic International
Corporation Series D preferred shares 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 $94,590,890 and
$100,711,477 at December 31, 1994 and 1993 (64.8% and 66.2% 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.

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). 
      These financial statements and accompanying notes together provide only
      general information about the Plan.  Participants should refer to the Plan
      agreement for a complete description of the Plan's provision.

    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.  Investment in Old Republic International
      Corporation Series D preferred stock, which has not been registered, is
      stated at an appraised value based on an opinion 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.

    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).

           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.

       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 contri-
       bution 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 
       of $1,272,088, participants were allocated to their Employer Account a
       total of $1,860,088 or about 46% more than the amount allocable under 
       normal circumstances.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

   D.  Administrative and Operating Expenses

       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 received 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 
   received 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 Services," 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 
   by the Companies on December 31 or terminated service due to retirement on or
   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 affted 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.
 
   Unallocated net assets,in the Companies' Account, available for plan benefits
   at December 31, are comprised of items not allocated to participants, as

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.  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.

6.  Notes Payable to Bank, Continued

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

    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.

    The Plan renegotiated its loans with the Banks in early 1995.  As a
    result of these renegotiations, the loan principal payments will be
    payable as follows on February 1:

       1995       $ 2,150,000
       1996         2,815,000
       1997         2,785,000
       1998         3,234,234
       1999         2,600,000
       2000         2,500,000
                  -----------
                  $16,084,234
                  ===========

    The interest rates on the renegotiated bank loans range from 75% to 85%
    of prime.


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).  The Plan has been amended since receiving the
    determination letter.  However, the Plan Administrator and the Plan's
    Counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in
    compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. 
    Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related Trust
    was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.

    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.

7.  Tax Status, Continued

    Distributions made prior to a Plan participant's death, disability, or
    attainment of age 59-1/2 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.

    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 59-1/2 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 59-1/2 may not use either the 5-year or 10-year
    averaging again after age 59-1/2.

    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.

7.  Tax Status, Continued

    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 maximum 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".

    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 by pledging Fund "O" assets.

    At December 31, 1994 there were 1,600 participants in Fund "O" and 3,377
    participants in Fund "A".

    Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan set up new Funds which offer
    participants the opportunity to further diversify their future and
    accumulated contributions (savings) and earnings thereon.  The new Funds
    are designated as "H", "I", "J", "K" and "L".  Directions to change the
    Funds to which savings can be directed or transfers from Fund "A" and "O"
    can be done on January 1, or July 1 of each year.

8.  Alternative Investment Funds, Continue

    A description of the new investment options, all of which are Mutual
    Funds, available for diversification on January 1, 1995, are:

    Fund "H" -    The Oakmark Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. 
                  The Fund invests in common stocks and other equity-type
                  securities.  The Fund is appropriate for long-term
                  investors who can accept the fluctuations in portfolio
                  value and other risks associated with seeking long-term
                  capital appreciation through investments in common stocks
                  and other equity-type securities.

    Fund "I" -    Fidelity Fund seeks long-term capital growth.  To provide
                  a current return, the fund also seeks current income.  The
                  fund invests mainly in common stock and securities that
                  are convertible into common stock.

    Fund "J" -    Vanguard/Windsor II seeks to provide long-term growth of
                  capital and income.  The Fund's secondary objective is to
                  provide current income.  These investment objectives are
                  fundamental and cannot be changed without the approval of
                  a majority of the Fund's shareholders.

    Fund "K" -    T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund seeks long-term
                  growth of capital through investments primarily in common
                  stocks of established, non-U.S. companies.  The fund
                  expects to invest substantially all of its assets outside
                  the U.S. and to diversify broadly among countries
                  throughout the world, both developed, newly
                  industrialized, and emerging.

    Fund "L" -    Benchmark Short-Intermediate Bond Portfolio Fund in
                  pursuing its investment objective, the Short-Intermediate
                  Bond Portfolio invests in a broad range of bonds and other
                  fixed income securities.  The Portfolio's dollar weighted
                  average maturity will be between two and five years.  The
                  Portfolio will invest primarily in investment-grade fixed
                  income securities of all types and in any proportion, and
                  may include obligations of the U.S. Government, its
                  agencies or instrumentalities, obligations of foreign
                  governments, obligations of U.S. and foreign corporations
                  and obligations of U.S. and foreign banks.  Under normal
                  market conditions, at least 65% of the Portfolio's total
                  assets will be invested in bonds, debentures, mortgage and
                  other asset-related securities, zero coupon bonds and
                  convertible debentures.  The Portfolio may also invest in
                  short-term notes, bills, commercial paper and certificates
                  of deposit.

    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.

8.  Alternative Investment Funds, Continue

    The investment options available for diversification at December 31, 1994
    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, 1994, there were 12 participants in Fund "E", 17
    participants in Fund "F" and 74 participants in Fund "G".

    Individual statements for each fund described above are contained in
    Supplemental Schedules II and III which are included herein by reference.


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.
