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, 1996 and
1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. 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 Plan as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
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 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 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.

BITUMINOUS 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
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.
B. Contributions
Participants may contribute up to 6 percent of their annual
compensation on a before-tax basis. Effective January 1, 1997, the
maximum participant contribution was increased to 9 percent. The
Company provides a matching contribution equal to 25 percent of the
participant's contribution on the first 6 percent of earnings.
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.
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. The Fidelity
Advisor Income & 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.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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%
1 10%
2 20%
3 30%
4 40%
5 60%
6 80%
7 or More 100%
F. Participant Loans
Effective January 1, 1996, participants may borrow from their accounts
a maximum amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested
account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from)
the investment account from (to) the Participant Loans account. Loan
terms shall not extend beyond five years. The loans are secured by the
balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate which
is based on the prevailing prime rate as published in The Wall Street
Journal on the first business day of the month in which the loan is
made plus one percentage point. Interest rates range from 9.25 percent
to 9.50 percent.
Principal and interest is paid ratably through bi-weekly payroll
deductions.
G. 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.
H. Basis of Accounting
The Plan presents in the statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits the net appreciation 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.
Net Assets reported in the Form 5500 do not agree to the Statement of
Net Assets Available for Benefits as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 due
to benefits payable to participants which are reflected only in the
Form 5500. These payables, totaling $3,517 for 1996 and $37,450 for
1995, 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 ($33,933)
for 1996 and $28,124 for 1995.
F-6
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
BITUMINOUS 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
I. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make significant
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.
J. 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 at least reasonably 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 plan
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits.
2. Investments
Old Republic International Corporation stock is stated at the closing
market value on the last business day of the year.
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, 1996 and 1995 as reported to
the Plan by CGLIC. Realized investment gains and losses in the separate
investment funds are recognized in the year of sale.
