PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(A) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Ohio Casualty Corporation (the Corporation) was incorporated under the laws of
Ohio in August, 1969. The Corporation operates primarily as a holding company
and is principally engaged, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, in the
business of property and casualty insurance and insurance premium finance.
The Corporation has two industry segments: property and casualty insurance and
insurance premium finance. The Corporation conducts its property and casualty
insurance business through The Ohio Casualty Insurance Company ("Ohio
Casualty"), an Ohio corporation organized in 1919, the Ohio Casualty's three
operating property and casualty insurance subsidiaries: West American Insurance
Company ("West American"), an Indiana corporation (originally incorporated under
the laws of the State of California) acquired in 1945; Ohio Security Insurance
Company ("Ohio Security"), an Ohio corporation acquired in 1962; and American
Fire and Casualty Company ("American Fire"), an Ohio corporation (originally
incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida) acquired in 1969. This
group of companies presently underwrites most forms of property and casualty
insurance. The Corporation conducts its premium finance business through Ocasco
Budget, Inc. ("Ocasco"), an Ohio corporation (originally incorporated under the
laws of the State of California) organized in 1960. Ocasco is a direct
subsidiary of Ohio Casualty. On May 31, 1995 the states of domicile of West
American and Ocasco changed to Indiana and Ohio, respectively, in connection
with the withdrawal from property and casualty insurance operations in
California as previously announced and as discussed elsewhere herein.
During 1995, the Corporation's third industry segment, life operations, was
discontinued. We found it increasingly difficult to achieve our required 16%
rate of return in this segment of our business. After extensive analysis, it was
determined that a 16% return could not be achieved without extensive capital
contributions and a dramatic overhaul of the life operations. Since this was a
small segment of our overall business, it was decided that this would not be a
prudent use of our capital. Therefore, on October 2, 1995, the Corporation
signed the final documents to reinsure the existing blocks of business and enter
a marketing agreement with Great Southern Life Insurance Company. This will
provide our agents and policyholders access to quality life insurance products
to meet their financial needs. The existing blocks of business were reinsured
through a 100% coinsurance arrangement with Employer's Reassurance Corporation.
As of December 31, 1995, $16.7 million of the net ceding commission from the
transaction remains unamortized. This will be amortized into income over the
expected life of the underlying reinsured policies, in this case, 15 years. An
assumption is scheduled for January 1, 1997 whereby Great Southern will legally
replace Ohio Life as the primary carrier on these policies at which time the
remaining unamortized gain will be recognized. Net income from discontinued
operations amounted to $4.4 million or $.12 per share in 1995 compared with $5.9
million or $.16 per share in 1994 and $6.8 million or $.19 per share in 1993.
(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
The revenues, operating profit and identifiable assets of each industry segment
for the three years ended December 31, 1995 are set forth in Note 10, Industry
Segment Information, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on
page 33 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995.

(C) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Ohio Casualty Group is represented on a commission basis by approximately
4,367 independent insurance agencies. In most cases, these agencies also
represent other unaffiliated companies which may compete with the Ohio Casualty
Group. The 47 claim and 36 underwriting and service offices operated by the Ohio
Casualty Group assist these independent agencies in the producing and servicing
of the Group's business.

Property and casualty net premiums written decreased 2.8% in 1995. New Jersey
premiums written increased 4.1% primarily as a result of an 11.1% increase in
private passenger automobile, due to continuing legislation requiring insurers
to accept all automobile risks meeting broad underwriting guidelines.
Pennsylvania premiums written decreased 11.8% principally due to a 13.9%
reduction in workers' compensation, as a result of management's decision to
limit writing due to poor underwriting experience.
INVESTMENT OPERATIONS
Each of the Ohio Casualty Group companies must comply with the insurance laws of
its domiciliary state and of the other states in which it is licensed for
business. Among other things, these laws prescribe the kind, quality and
concentration of investments which may be made by insurance companies. In
general, these laws permit investments, within specified limits and subject to
certain qualifications, in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate
bonds, preferred and common stocks, real estate mortgages and real estate.
The distribution of invested assets of the Ohio Casualty Group is determined by
a number of factors, including insurance law requirements, the Corporation's
liquidity needs and taxable position, and general market conditions.
Accordingly, adjustments are made to the asset allocation from time to time. The
Corporation has no investment real estate or commercial mortgages. Assets
relating to property and casualty operations are invested to maximize after-tax
returns with appropriate diversification of risk.
The following table sets forth the carrying values and other data of the
consolidated invested assets of the Ohio Casualty Group as of the end of the
years indicated:

The consolidated fixed income portfolio (identified as "Total Bonds" in the
foregoing table) of the Ohio Casualty Group had a weighted average Standard &
Poor rating of "AA-" and an average stated maturity of ten years as of December
31, 1995. The mortgage-backed portfolio, which represents 16.7% of fixed
maturity investments, has experienced a significantly increased level of
prepayments over the last few years causing reinvestment of proceeds at the
lower rates prevalent at that time. As rates have risen, prepayments have slowed
and the fair value of the lower yielding bonds has decreased.
Investments in taxable high yield (less than investment grade, Standard & Poor
rated below "BBB-") and unrated securities had an aggregate carrying value of
$490.2 million and an aggregate amortized cost of $475.0 million at year-end
1995. At year-end 1994 and 1993, respectively, carrying values were $306.6
million and $206.0 million and market values were $322.7 million and $220.6
million. The taxable high yield securities had a weighted average Standard &
Poor rating of "BB-" and an average maturity of ten years.

ITEM 1. CONTINUED
Approximately 99.7% of the Corporation's high yield and unrated investments
(based on carrying value) are performing in accordance with contractual terms
and are making principal and interest payments as required. The securities in
the Corporation's high yield and unrated portfolio have been issued by 171
corporate borrowers in approximately 46 industries. At December 31, 1995, the
Corporation's five largest investments in high yield and unrated securities
totaled $37.1 million, and had an approximate amortized cost of $34.3 million.
None of these holdings individually exceeded $8.9 million.
At December 31, 1995, the fixed income portfolio relating to property and
casualty operations totaled $2.3 billion which consisted of 90.5% investment
grade securities and 9.5% high yield securities. At December 31, 1995, the fixed
income portfolio relating to discontinued operations totaled $80.1 million which
consisted of 93.8% investment grade securities and 6.2% high yield securities.
Investments in high yield and, in many instances, unrated securities have
greater risks than investments in investment grade securities. The risk of
default by borrowers which issue high yield securities is significantly greater
because these securities are generally unsecured and often subordinated to other
debt and these borrowers are often highly leveraged and are more sensitive to
adverse economic conditions such as a recession or a sharp increase in interest
rates. Furthermore, the market for high yield and unrated securities is often
thinly traded and market quotations may be unavailable or available only from a
small number of dealers. Investment grade securities are also subject to
significant adverse risks including the risks of re-leveraging and changes in
control of the issuer. In most instances, investors are unprotected with respect
to such risks, the effects of which can be substantial. The Corporation has no
investment with a single issuer exceeding 3.1% of shareholders' equity.
Yield (based on cost of investments) for the taxable fixed income portfolio was
8.7% and 8.6% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Unrated and high
yield securities were yielding 10.1% and 9.5% at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, while investment grade securities were yielding 7.5% in 1995 and
8.4% in 1994. Yield for tax exempt securities was 6.3% at December 31, 1995 and
6.7% at December 31, 1994; however, this yield is not directly comparable to
taxable yield due to the complexity of federal taxation of insurance companies.
High yield and unrated corporate debt securities provided approximately 19.3% of
consolidated net investment income before tax in 1995 and 12.7% in 1994. Because
the Corporation has generally purchased high yield and unrated securities with
the intention of holding them to maturity and has managed its investment
portfolio so as to not be dependent on these securities to meet its liquidity
needs, the Corporation has been willing to accept the relative lack of liquidity
for these securities.
Investment income is affected by the amount of new investable funds and
investable funds arising from maturities, prepayments, calls and exchanges as
well as the timing of receipt of such funds. In addition, other factors such as
interest rates at time of investment and the maturity, income tax status, credit
status and other risks associated with new investments are reflected in
investment income. Future changes in the distribution of investments and the
factors described above could affect overall investment income in the future;
however, the amount of any increase or decrease cannot be predicted. Further
details regarding investment distribution and investment income are described in
Note 2, Investments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages
29 and 30 of the 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders.

ITEM 1. CONTINUED
Purchases of taxable fixed income securities in 1995 were as follows: $480.9
million of investment grade securities, $56.7 million of high yield securities
and $53.8 million of unrated securities. Purchases of tax-exempt and equity
securities in 1995 totaled $352.7 million and $86.5 million, respectively.
Disposals (including maturities, calls, exchanges and scheduled prepayments) of
taxable fixed income securities in 1995 were as follows: $850.6 million of
investment grade securities, $132.9 million of high yield securities and $39.4
million of unrated securities. Dispositions of tax-exempt and equity securities
in 1995 totaled $39.6 million and $137.4 million, respectively. During 1993, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". This statement was adopted on January 1, 1994, and required the
Corporation to classify equity securities and debt securities into the following
categories: 1) held to maturity securities; 2) trading securities; 3) available
for sale.
All fixed income holdings were placed in the available for sale category. This
accounting change increased shareholders' equity $116.1 million in 1994.
Consolidated net realized investment gains in 1995 totaled $6.1 million, $.17
per share. Included in this amount are approximately $16.0 million in writedowns
of the carrying values of certain securities the Corporation determined had an
other than temporary decline in value.
SHARE REPURCHASES
During 1990 the Board of Directors of Ohio Casualty Corporation authorized the
additional purchase of as many as 3,000,000 (as adjusted for 1994 stock split)
shares of its common stock through open market or privately negotiated
transactions. 613,900 shares were repurchased during 1995 for $20.9 million.
50,000 shares were repurchased during 1994 for $1.4 million. No shares were
repurchased during 1993. The remaining repurchase authorization is 2,336,100
shares as of December 31, 1995.
LIABILITIES FOR UNPAID LOSS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES
Liabilities for loss and loss adjustment expenses are established for the
estimated ultimate costs of settling claims for insured events, both reported
claims and incurred but not reported claims, based on information known as of
the evaluation date. As more information becomes available and claims are
settled, the estimated liabilities are adjusted upward or downward with the
effect of increasing or decreasing net income at the time of adjustments. Such
estimated liabilities include direct costs of the loss under terms of insurance
policies as well as legal fees and general expenses of administering the claims
adjustment process. The liabilities for claims incurred in accident years 1994,
1993 and 1992 were reduced in the subsequent year as shown below:

In the normal course of business, the Ohio Casualty Group is involved in
disputes and litigation regarding terms of insurance contracts and the amount of
liability under such contracts arising from insured events. The liabilities for
loss and loss adjustment expenses include estimates of the amounts for which the
Ohio Casualty Group may be liable upon settlement or other conclusion of such
litigation.
Because of the inherent future uncertainties in estimating ultimate costs of
settling claims, actual loss and loss adjustment expenses may deviate
substantially from the amounts recorded in the Corporation's consolidated
financial statements. Furthermore, the timing, frequency and extent of
adjustments to the estimated liabilities cannot be accurately predicted since
conditions and events which established historical loss and loss adjustment
expense development and which serve as the basis for estimating ultimate claims
cost may not occur in the future in exactly the same manner, if at all.
The anticipated effect of inflation is implicitly considered when estimating the
liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses based on historical loss
development trends adjusted for anticipated changes in underwriting standards,
policy provisions and general economic trends.
The following table presents an analysis of property and casualty losses and
loss adjustment expenses and related liabilities for the periods indicated. The
accounting policies used to estimate liabilities for losses and loss adjustment
expenses are described in Note 1, Accounting Policies, paragraph E, in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 28 of the 1995 Annual Report to
Shareholders.

ITEM 1. CONTINUED
COMPETITION
More than 2,600 property and casualty insurance companies compete in the United
States and no one company or company group has a market share greater than
approximately 15.0%. The Ohio Casualty Group ranked as the forty-fifth largest
property and casualty insurance groups in the United States based on net
insurance premiums written in 1994, the latest year for which statistics are
available. The Ohio Casualty Group competes with other companies on the basis of
service, price and coverage.
STATE INSURANCE REGULATION
General. The Corporation and the Ohio Casualty Group are subject to regulation
under the insurance statutes, including the holding company statutes, of various
states. Ohio Casualty, American Fire and Ohio Security are all domiciled in
Ohio. West American is domiciled in Indiana. Collectively, the Ohio Casualty
Group is authorized to transact the business of insurance in the District of
Columbia and all states except Maine. The Ohio Casualty Group is subject to
examination of their affairs by the insurance departments of the jurisdictions
in which they are licensed.
The insurance holding company laws and regulations vary from state to state, but
generally require insurance holding companies to register and file with the
state regulatory authority certain reports, including information concerning
their capital structure, ownership, financial condition and general business
operations.
State laws also require prior notice or regulatory agency approval of changes in
control of an insurer or its holding company and of certain material
intercorporate transfers of assets within the holding company structure. Under
applicable provisions of the Indiana insurance statutes ("Indiana Insurance
Law") and the Ohio insurance statutes (the "Ohio Insurance Law"), a person would
not be permitted to acquire direct or indirect control of the Corporation or any
of the Ohio Casualty Group companies domiciled in such state, unless such person
had obtained prior approval of the Indiana Insurance Commissioner and the Ohio
Superintendent of Insurance, respectively, for such acquisition. For the
purposes of the Indiana Insurance Law and the Ohio Insurance Law, any person
acquiring more than 10% of the voting securities of a company is presumed to
have acquired "control" of such company.
Proposition 103 was passed in the State of California in 1988 in an attempt to
legislate premium rates for that state. Even after considering investment
income, total returns in California have been less than what would be considered
"fair" by any reasonable standard. During the fourth quarter of 1994, the State
of California billed the Corporation $59.9 million for Proposition 103
assessment. In February 1995, California revised this billing to $47.3 million
due to California Senate Bill 905 which permits reduction of the rollback due to
commissions and premium taxes paid. The billing was revised again in August of
1995 and at present the State has indicated the Corporation should not be
required to pay in excess of $42.1 million plus interest as a Proposition 103
assessment. As a result, the Corporation's reserve for this alleged liability is
$70.2 million. The Corporation will continue to challenge the validity of any
rollback and plans to continue negotiations with Department officials. It is
uncertain when this will be resolved.
12
13
ITEM 1. CONTINUED
The State of New Jersey has historically been a profitable state for the
Corporation. In recent years, however, the legislative environment in that state
has deteriorated. Due to legislative rules and regulations designed to make
insurance less expensive and more easily obtainable for New Jersey residents,
our results have been adversely impacted. In order to meet our state imposed
assessment obligations under the Fair Automobile Insurance Reform Act, the
Unsatisfied Claim and Judgment fund, the New Jersey Surtax and the Market
Transition Facility, the Corporation has incurred expenses of $3.7 million in
1995, $6.4 million in 1994 and $19.1 million in 1993. These assessments have
negatively affected our combined ratios by .3, .5 and 1.4 points in the three
years, respectively.
National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The National Association of
Insurance Commissioners (the "NAIC") annually calculates a number of financial
ratios to assist state insurance regulators in monitoring the financial
condition of insurance companies. A "usual range" of results for each ratio is
used as a benchmark. Departure from the usual range on four or more of the
ratios could lead to inquiries from individual state insurance commissioners as
to certain aspects of a company's business. None of the property and casualty
companies of the Ohio Casualty Group had more than one NAIC financial ratio that
was outside the usual range in the last five calendar years.
Beginning in 1994, the NAIC requires inclusion of a risk-based capital
calculation in the Annual Statements. The risk-based capital model is used to
establish standards which will relate insurance company statutory surplus to
risks of operations and assist regulators in determining solvency requirements.
The model is based on four risk factors in two categories: asset risk,
consisting of investment risk and credit risk; and underwriting risk, composed
of loss reserves and premiums written risks. Based on current calculations, all
of the Ohio Casualty Group companies have at least twice the necessary capital
to conform with the risk-based capital model.
The NAIC has developed a model law limiting dividend payments by insurance
companies. This model law allows dividends to equal the greater of 10% of
policyholders surplus or net income determined as of the preceding year end
without prior approval of the Insurance Department. The State of Ohio signed
this model into law on September 30, 1993. For 1995, $116.3 million of
policyholder surplus are not subject to restrictions or prior dividend approval.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1995, the Ohio Casualty Group had approximately 3,681 employees
of which approximately 1,372 were located in Hamilton, Ohio.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Ohio Casualty Group owns and leases office space in various parts of the
country. The principal office building consists of an owned facility in
Hamilton, Ohio.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ohio Casualty Corporation
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Ohio Casualty
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 and for the
years then ended, which financial statements are included on pages 24 through 35
of the 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders of Ohio Casualty Corporation and
incorporated by reference herein. We have also audited the financial statement
schedules listed in the index on page 17 of this Form 10-K. These financial
statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial statement schedules 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 consolidated financial position of Ohio Casualty
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition,
in our opinion, the financial statement schedules referred to above, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be
included therein.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Corporation changed its method of accounting for debt and equity securities and
post-employment benefits in 1994.
