                        Report of Independent Accountants


To the Administrative Committee of
Great West Casualty Company Profit Sharing Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of the Great
West Casualty  Company Profit Sharing Plan (the 'Plan') at December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for 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 on our  audits.  We  conducted  our audits of these
statements  in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  which
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,  assessing the  accounting  principles
used and  significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes at December 31, 1998 and reportable transactions for the
year ended  December  31,  1998 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.  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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Great West Casualty Company Profit Sharing Plan
(Plan) is provided for general  information  purposes only.  Participants should
refer  to the Plan  agreement  for a more  complete  description  of the  Plan's
Provisions.

(a) General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible employees of Great
West Casualty Company (the Company), as well as its affiliates, American General
Agency,   Central  Data  Services,   Great  West  Services,   Inc.,  Great  West
Underwriters,  Joe Morten & Son,  Inc.,  Lawson & Company  Risk  Management  and
Insurance,  Inc.,  Midwest  Insurance,  Inc.,  Motor-Ways,  Inc.,  and  Truckmen
Underwriters  Agency, Inc. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended form time to time.

(b) Contributions and Participants Accounts

Participants  may contribute 1% to 6% of their annual wages to the Plan. In 1998
and 1997,  the Company made matching  contributions  to the Plan equal to 25% of
the employees' pre-tax contribution amount. Participants may elect to have their
contributions  invested in any one or more of the ten separate  investment funds
(CIGNA Guaranteed Long-Term Account,  CIGNA Guaranteed Short-Term Account, CIGNA
Stock Market Index Account,  CIGNA Separate Account - Fidelity Balanced Account,
CIGNA Separate  Account - Fidelity Growth  Opportunities  Account,  Old Republic
International  Corporation (ORI) Stock Account, CIGNA Separate Account - INVESCO
Total Return Account, CIGNA Separate Account - Neuberger & Berman Guardian Trust
Account,  CIGNA  Separate  Account - PBHG  Growth  Account,  and CIGNA  Separate
Account  -  Janus  Worldwide  Account).  The  Company  may  also  contribute  an
additional nonmatching amount out of its current or accumulated profits, if any,
as determined by the Company.

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's  contribution,  an
allocation of the Company's  contributions  and Plan earnings.  Allocations  are
based on  participant  account  balances  as  defined.  The  benefit  to which a
participant   is  entitled  is  the  benefit  that  can  be  provided  from  the
participant's account.

(c) Eligibility and Vesting

Under the terms of the Plan, an employee shall become  eligible for inclusion in
the Plan upon reaching age 21 with  completion of 1,000 hours of service  during
the twelve month  period  beginning  with date of hire.  Minimum age for vesting
service is 18 years.

All employee and employer  matching  contributions  are immediately 100% vested.
Participants become fully vested in the value of the discretionary contributions
after 7 years of credited service.

(d) Payment of Benefits

On  termination  of  service,   reitrement,  or  death,  a  participant  or  his
beneficiary  may elect to leave  funds in the Plan or receive  either a lump-sum
payment or purchase of a single  premium  life annuity  contract.  Net assets at
December  31, 1998 and 1997,  include  funds  totaling  $397,513  and  $380,121,
respectively,  which  represent  the account  balance of retired and  terminated
participants  who have elected to leave the funds in the Plan upon retirement or
termination.

(e) Forfeitures

All  forfeitures  are  segregated  until the  employee  has attained a five year
break-in-service.  At that  time  forfeitures  are  allocated  pro-rata  to each
participant  account according to their respective earnings for that year. There
were unallocated  assets of $586,602 and $464,807 at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively related to these forfeitures.

(f) Loans

Participants may elect to borrow from the Plan based upon specified  conditions.
A participant may have only one  outstanding  loan at any time which must be for
at least $1,000.  In no case shall the aggregate  amount loaned to a participant
exceed the lesser of the  following:  (a)  $50,000  reduced by the excess of the
highest  outstanding  balance of loans from the Plan  during the one year period
ending on the date  before the date of the loan to the  participant;  (b) 50% of
the participant's vested interest; or (c) 100% of the sum of the balances in the
participant's pre-tax contribution and matching contribution accounts.  Interest
rates range from 7.00 percent to 10.00  percent.  Principal and interest is paid
ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions.

(g) Administrative Expenses

The  Company  provides   administrative  support  for  the  Plan  and  pays  for
administrative and trustee fees.

(h) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(i) Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various  investment  options in any combination of stocks,
bonds, fixed income securities,  mutual funds, and other investment  securities.
Investment  securities  are exposed to various  risks,  such as  interest  rate,
market and credit.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain  investment
securities  and the level of  uncertainty  related  to  changes  in the value of
investment  securities,  it is possible  that  changes in risks in the near term
would materially affect participants'  account balances and the amounts reported
in the  statement of net assets  available  for  benefits  and the  statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Presentation

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

(b) Investments

ORI common 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
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
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,  1998 and 1997 as  reported  to the  Plan by  CGLIC.  Realized
investment  gains and losses in the separate  investment funds are recognized in
the year of sale.

NOTE 3 - ASSETS GREATER THAN 5% OF PLAN ASSETS

Investments that represent 5% or more of the plan assets are as follows:

Company  by a  letter  dated  March  20,  1995,  that the  Plan is  designed  in

under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
