                     INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



Plan Committee
Orion Capital Corporation Employees' 
  Stock Savings and Retirement Plan
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Orion Capital Corporation Employees' Stock Savings and
Retirement Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of
the three 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 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Orion Capital
Corporation Employees' Stock Savings and Retirement Plan as of December
31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules
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.  These schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in
our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                Years Ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991

Note 1 - Plan Description

     The following description of the Orion Capital Corporation
Employees' Stock Savings and Retirement Plan (the "Plan") provides only
general information.  The Plan agreement provides a complete description
of the Plan's provisions.

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan that is qualified under
Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 401(a), with a cash or deferred
arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k).  All United States
employees of the Company participate in the retirement benefits of the
Plan, and all such employees who have completed one year (three months
effective January 1, 1994) of service may elect to participate in the
savings portion of the Plan ("savings employees").

     Subject to the restrictions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, employees' savings contributions are restricted to
the following maximum amounts:

     (1)  Salary Reduction (Pre-Tax) Contributions from 1% up to 16% of   
          base pay plus up to 20% of any bonus and overtime compensation;

     (2)  After-Tax Contributions from 1% up to 10% of base pay plus up   
          to 20% of any bonus and overtime compensation;

     (3)  Rollover Contributions as to all or part of a qualifying
          distribution.

     Any participant contribution made to the Plan of bonus or overtime
compensation (either as a Salary Reduction [Pre-Tax] or After-Tax
Contribution or both) may not exceed, in the aggregate, 20% of such
compensation.  Participant contributions to the Plan are also limited
under federal income tax law.

     Savings employees may elect to deposit their contributions in any,
or a combination of, four funds:  Fund I - Company Common Stock Fund
consisting of common stock of Orion Capital Corporation;  Fund II - Fixed
Income Fund consisting of fixed income investments guaranteed by
contracts with an unaffiliated insurance company; Fund III - Mutual Fund
consisting of an open-end mutual fund, the Windsor Fund; and Fund V - a
money market fund invested in United States government backed investments
(See Note 5 - Investments).  The Company matches the first 6% of a
savings employee's Pre-Tax or After-Tax contribution (base pay only) to
the Plan in an amount equal to 100% of the amount contributed by a
savings employee to Fund I and 25% (50% effective January 1, 1994) of the
amount contributed by a savings employee to either Fund II, Fund III or
Fund V.  All Company matching contributions are invested in Fund I.  

                                   -5-

                          ORION CAPITAL CORPROATION
                EMPLOYEES' STOCK SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Effective for 1994 the Company will make an additional annual
contribution ("Special Savings Contribution") of 1.5% of annual earnings
for all non "highly compensated" (as defined in the IRC) employees to be
invested as directed by the employee.  Savings employees may apply to
borrow a portion of their vested account balances.  Their account
balances in Funds I, II, III and V are reduced by the amount borrowed and
notes receivable from these employees are held in Fund VI.  As of
December 31, 1993, 908, 409, 304 and 44 plan participants had investments
held in Funds I, II, III and V, respectively.

     Fund IV - Retirement Fund was established in 1987 to deposit Company
retirement contributions for the purpose of providing a defined
contribution retirement benefit for substantially all eligible employees
of the Company.  This fund consists of a pooled trust of fixed income
investments guaranteed by contracts with unaffiliated insurance companies
(See Note 5 - Investments).  Each year the Company contributes to this
fund on behalf of each eligible employee an amount equal to 2.7% of his
or her annual salary (base pay plus overtime and regular bonuses), plus
2.3% of his or her annual salary which is in excess of the Social
Security maximum wage base.  Contributions to the Plan are limited under
federal tax law.

     Subject to significant restrictions of the IRC, a savings employee
has a non-forfeitable right to withdraw his or her own contributions
including any earnings or loss thereon.  Employees are immediately 100%
vested in the Company's Special Savings Contribution.  A savings
employee's rights to the Company's matching contributions, net of any
earnings or loss thereon, and an eligible employee's rights to Company
retirement contributions and earnings thereon, become vested in
accordance with the following schedule:

       Number of Completed Months               Percentage of Company
      of Service with the Company               Contributions Vested 
      ---------------------------               ---------------------
                 0 - 24                                   0%
                25 - 36                                  40%
                37 - 48                                  55%
                49 - 60                                  70%
                61 - 72                                  85%
                73 or more                              100%

     An employee who leaves the Company due to retirement, disability or
death is 100% vested in his or her Company savings contributions.  An
employee who leaves the Company for any other reason vests in (or
forfeits) his or her Company savings contributions based on the vesting
percentages set forth above.  An employee must be employed on the last
business day of the fiscal year to be eligible for a Company retirement
contribution for that year and, effective in 1994, the Company's Special
Savings Contribution.  Any forfeitures under the Plan will be used to
reduce amounts of future Company savings or retirement contributions to
the Plan.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Financial Statement Presentation - The financial statements
include the accounts of six investment funds (See Note 1 - Plan
Description).  The financial statements are presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and exclude all material
interfund balances and transactions.       

     Investments - The common stock of the Company and shares of the
mutual fund and money market fund held by the Plan are carried at market
value determined by quoted market prices.  The guaranteed investment
contract portfolio pooled trust and the guaranteed investment contracts
with an insurance company are carried at the amounts contributed plus
interest at the underlying contract rates.  Realized investment gains
(losses) are recognized using the average cost method.  Dividend income
is accrued on the ex-dividend date.

     Reclassifications - The 1992 and 1991 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the classifications used in 1993.

Note 3 - Priorities upon Termination of the Plan

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has
the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time,
and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the
event of termination of the Plan, all employees will be fully vested in
their rights to the Company's contributions under the Plan.

Note 4 - Plan Amendments

     In 1993 the Plan was amended to increase plan benefits effective in
1994 including a special Company contribution to the savings plan of 1.5%
of annual earnings for all non "highly compensated" employees, an
increase in the employer match of employees savings contributions to Fund
II, Fund III and Fund V from 25% to 50% and a change in the waiting
period for participation in the savings portion of the Plan from one year
to three months of service.  The Plan was also amended to permit Canadian
employees to withdraw their vested assets from the Plan.

Note 5 - Investments

     United States Trust Company of New York is the Plan Trustee.  The
Plan Trustee invests all employee and Company  contributions, as well as
earnings thereon, pursuant to the terms of the Plan.  The Plan Trustee

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

     Contributions to Fund I, including the Company's contributions, are
used to purchase common stock of the Company.  Contributions to Fund II
are invested with New England Mutual Life Insurance Company ("New England
Mutual") under guaranteed investment contracts which provide for fixed
minimum annual investment returns.  These group contracts will continue
in effect for succeeding years unless terminated by the Plan or New
England Mutual.  Contributions to Fund III are transferred to the Windsor
Fund, a no-load mutual fund which seeks long-term growth of capital and
income by investing primarily in common stocks.  Fund IV contributions
are invested in the GIC Portfolio of the PW Trust Company Pooled Trust
for Employee Benefit Plans which is primarily comprised of guaranteed
investment contracts.  Contributions to Fund V are used to purchase
Vanguard Money Market Reserves - U.S. Treasury Portfolio, a money market
fund which invests in United States government backed investments.

     The Plan held 669,265 shares and 638,471 shares (adjusted to give

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Note 6 - Contributions

     The Company's contributions to the Plan are reduced by any
forfeitures under the Plan (See Note 1 - Plan Description).  The
Company's contributions to the retirement portion of the Plan were
reduced by forfeitures of $158,040 in 1993, $131,912 in 1992 and $141,888
in 1991.  Company contributions to the savings portion of the Plan were
reduced by forfeitures of $62,438, $62,090 and $55,453 in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively.

Note 7 - Benefits Payable

     As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, net assets available for benefits
included benefits of $312,393 and $253,193, respectively, due to
participants who have withdrawn from the Plan.

Note 8 - Administration

     The Plan is administered by the Company through the Plan Committee. 
All expenses of administration, including Plan Trustee fees, brokerage
commissions and compensation of experts employed by the Plan Committee,
are paid by the Company, except for loan application fees which are paid
by participants.

Note 9 - Tax Status

     The Plan obtained its latest determination letter in July, 1987 in
which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then
designed, was in compliance with the applicable qualification
requirements of the IRC.  The Plan has been amended since receiving the
determination letter.  However, the plan administrator believes that the
Plan is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
qualification requirements of the IRC.  Therefore, no provision for
income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

Note 10 - Fund Allocations

     The Plan assets available for benefits by fund for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits by fund for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 are
as follows:
