On March 11, 1985, Bitco merged into a subsidiary of Old Republic International 
Corporation.  The combination resulted in a tax-free exchange of 0.4 (4/10th) 
share of Old Republic International Corporation voting Series E Cumulative 
Convertible Preferred Stock for each share of Bitco common stock included in 
the Bitco Common Stock Fund.  The Old Republic International Corporation 
Series E Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the 
holder into 1.25 shares of Old Republic International Corporation common 
stock.  The Plan exchanged 34,880 shares of Bitco stock on March 11, 1985.

In February 1987, all shares of the Series E Preferred Stock were converted 
to 29,994 shares of Old Republic International Corporation common stock.  
Since March 1987, the ORI Stock Account has invested solely in Old Republic 
International Corporation common stock.  The committee does not anticipate

other than common stock.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


Bituminous 401(k) Savings Plan
Bituminous Casualty Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for 
benefits of the Bituminous 401(k) Savings Plan (the  Plan ) as of December 31, 
1995 and 1994, and the related statements of changes in net assets available 
for benefits for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.  These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility 
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on 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 benefits of the Bituminous 
401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net 
assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, 
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of the Plan 
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 of Reporting and 
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The 
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied 
in the audits 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.  

The schedule of assets held for investment purposes and the schedule of 
reportable transactions that accompany the Plan s financial statements do not 
disclose the historical cost of certain plan assets held by the Plan custodian.
Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of Labor's Rules 
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974.

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  ------------------------------------------
  
  The following description of the Bituminous 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") 
  provides only general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan 
  document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.  
  
  A.   General

  The plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all of the 
  employees of Bituminous Casualty Corporation (the "Company") who have 
  completed one year of service, attained age twenty-one (age twenty-five in 
  1984) and have completed 1,000 hours of service during the 12 month period 
  commencing on their date of hire or during a plan year.  Participation in 
  the Plan is optional.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the 
  Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended from 
  time to time.  Effective as of the close of business of the Company on 
  December 31, 1993, cash and securities having a fair market value of 
  $1,873,255, the portion of the plan attributable to participants employed 
  by Great West, Joe Morten & Son, Inc., Dornberger/Berry & Company, Midwest 
  Insurance, Inc., Motor-Ways, Inc., National Adjustment Company and 
  Truckmen's Underwriters Agency, Inc. (the  Transferred Companies ) were 
  transferred to the Great West Casualty Company Profit Sharing Plan during 
  the first quarter of 1994.  The Plan and the
  Plan's trust shall have no further liability to the participants employed 
  by the Transferred Companies or their beneficiaries.  
  
  B.   Contributions

  Participants may contribute up to 6 percent of their annual compensation on 
  a before-tax basis.  The Company provides a matching contribution equal to 
  25 percent of the participant's contribution.  Effective January 1, 1994, 
  participants may elect to have their voluntary contributions invested in 
  any one or more of the six separate investment funds (CIGNA Guaranteed 
  Long-Term Account, CIGNA Separate Account - Fidelity Advisor Income & 
  Growth Fund, CIGNA Separate Account - Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities 
  Fund, CIGNA Guaranteed Government Securities Account, CIGNA Stock Market 
  Index Account and ORI Stock Account).  The Company's matching contributions 
  commencing in 1985 are invested in the ORI Stock Account.  Prior to January 
  1, 1994 participants could elect to have their voluntary contributions 
  invested in any one or more of the four separate investment funds 
  (Equity Fund, Guaranteed Long-Term Account, Short-Term Fund and ORI Stock 
  Account).  
  
  C.   Participant Accounts

  Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, 
  an allocation of the Company's contribution and Plan earnings.  Interest 
  will be credited to the Guaranteed Long-Term Account and Guaranteed 
  Government Securities Account (the  General Accounts ) daily.  Interest 
  will be credited to each dollar in the General Accounts from the 
  valuation date on which it is allocated to the General Accounts until the 
  valuation date as of which it is transferred, distributed or disbursed from 
  the General Accounts.  Prior to January 1, 1994, Guaranteed Long-Term 
  Account earnings were allocated by CIGNA, based on the percentage of total
  contributions of each participant.  The Fidelity Advisor Income and Growth 
  Fund, Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund and Stock Market Index

  Account (the  Separate  Accounts ) are each divided into units of 
  participation.  When an amount is allocated or transferred to the Separate 
  Accounts, the number of units is increased and when an amount is withdrawn 
  from the Separate Accounts, the number of units is decreased.  Such 
  increase or decrease in the number of units is determined by dividing the 
  amount allocated to or withdrawn from the Separate Accounts by the then 
  current Separate Account unit value.  Cash dividends received with respect 
  to Old Republic International Corporation stock previously credited to 
  participants shall be applied to purchase additional shares of Old Republic
  International Corporation stock in the ORI Stock Account.  Such dividends 
  and the additional shares (including fractional shares) subsequently 
  purchased with the dividends shall be allocated and credited to the 
  accounts of participants, pro rata, according to the shares (including 
  fractional shares) credited to the accounts of participants on the 
  applicable dividend record date.  Any Old Republic International 
  Corporation stock received as a stock split or stock dividend or as a 
  result of a reorganization or recapitalization of Old Republic International
  Corporation shall be allocated and credited to the accounts of participants 
  in proportion to the Old Republic International Corporation stock previously 
  credited to their accounts. Participant's units are calculated on a daily 
  basis.  Quarterly participant unit values for these investment funds are 
  as follows:

  The percentage of any resigning or dismissed participant's employer 
  contribution account balance which is not vested at the settlement 
  date will be applied against future employer contributions.  
  
  D.   Expenses

  It is the policy of Bituminous Casualty Corporation (a wholly-owned 
  subsidiary of Bitco Corporation) to provide administrative support for the 
  plan and to pay for administrative and trustee fees.  
  
  E.   Vesting

  Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus 
  actual earnings thereon.  Participants are immediately vested in the 
  remainder of their accounts upon death, disability, attainment of normal 
  retirement age or based on the participant s number of years of service 
  using the following table:  

                  Years of Service          Vested Percentage
                    Fewer than 1                    0%

                        4                          40%
                        5                          60%
                        6                          80%
                     7 or More                    100%

  F.   Benefits Paid

  On termination of service, retirement, or death, distribution of the net 
  balance in the participant's accounts will be made for the benefit of the 
  participant or his beneficiary, by one or more of the following methods:
  
       *  By payment in a lump sum.  
       *  By purchase of a retirement annuity from an insurance company.  
  
  G.   Basis of Accounting
  
  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.  Net Assets reported in the Form 5500 
  do not agree to the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits as of 
  December 31, 1995 and 1994 due to benefits payable to participants which 
  are reflected only in the Form 5500.  These payables, totaling $37,450 for
  1995 and $9,326 for 1994, represent 4th quarter withdrawals not made until 
  the next year.  Similarly, benefits paid as reported in the Form 5500 
  differs from the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits 
  by $28,124 for 1995 and $9,326 for 1994.

2.Investments
  -----------

  Old Republic International Corporation stock is stated at the closing market 
  value on the last business day of the year. The Plan presents in the 
  statements of changes in net assets available for benefits the net 
  appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of the ORI Stock Account, 
  which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation
  (depreciation) of this investment.  The Plan entered into a group annuity 
  contract with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CGLIC).  CGLIC 
  maintains contributions in a contract holder's account and such contributions 
  are allocated to separate investment funds (see note 3) according to 
  participant elections.  The accounts are credited with earnings on the 
  underlying investments and charged for Plan benefits paid and deductions 
  for investment expenses, risk, profit and annual management fees charged by 
  CGLIC.  The General Accounts are included in the financial statements at 
  contract value and the Separate Accounts are included in the financial
  statements at fair value at December 31, 1995 and 1994 as report to the 
  Plan by CGLIC. Realized investment gains and losses in the separate 
  investment funds are recognized in the year of sale.  
  
3.Allocation of Net Assets for Benefits and Changes in Net Assets 
  Available for Benefits
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Six separate investment funds are maintained under the Plan for the benefit 
  of participants. The allocation of net assets available for benefits to the 
  separate investment funds is as follows:
