                        Report of Independent Accountants



To the Participants and Administrator of
  The Republic Mortgage Insurance Company and
  Affiliated Companies Profit Sharing Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the  related  statement  of  changes in net assets  available  for  benefits
present fairly, in all material respects,  the net assets available for benefits
of The Republic  Mortgage  Insurance  Company and  Affiliated  Companies  Profit
Sharing Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 2002 and 2001,  and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002 in conformity
with accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United States of America.
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
auditing  standards  generally  accepted in the United States of America,  which
require that we plan and perform the audits 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 our opinion.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole.  The Supplemental  Schedule H, line 4i -
Schedule  of  Assets  (Held at End of  Year) is  presented  for the  purpose  of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is 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. This  Supplemental  Schedule is the  responsibility of the
Plan's management.  The Supplemental Schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures  applied in the audits of the basic financial  statements and, in our
opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material  respects  in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements

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

1.   Description of Plan

     The following  description of The Republic  Mortgage  Insurance Company and
     Affiliated  Companies  Profit  Sharing  Plan (the  "Plan")  is a  qualified
     defined  contribution  plan  covering all  employees  of Republic  Mortgage
     Insurance  Company,  RMIC  Corporation,  and  Republic  Mortgage  Insurance
     Company of North  Carolina  (the  "Sponsor").  Employees  are  eligible for
     coverage at the start of their  employment  and must elect to enroll in the
     plan.  The Plan is subject to the  provisions  of the  Employee  Retirement
     Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

     See the Summary Plan Description for additional  information  regarding the
     Plan.

     Contributions
     -------------
     The  Sponsor  makes  contributions  to the  Plan at the  discretion  of the
     Sponsor's  Board of  Directors  at a sum  determined  by the Board  without
     regard to current and  accumulated  profits for the taxable year, for years
     ending with or within such Plan year. Participants may contribute up to 25%
     of their  compensation  pre-tax and 25% after-tax for a combined maximum of
     50% of  compensation  any Plan year.  Contributions  are subject to certain
     limitations as prescribed by ERISA. Excess  contributions to be returned to
     participants  based on qualification  testing totaled $162,700 and $132,589
     for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     Vesting
     -------
     Participant's  account  balances  provided  by  Sponsor  contributions  and
     related  allocated  earnings  become 40% vested  after one year of service.
     Vesting  percentages  increase by 10% for each  additional  year, with full
     vesting after seven years of service.

     Account balances  provided by participant  contributions and allocated Plan
     earnings are always fully vested.

     Participant Accounts
     --------------------

     A  separate  account  balance is  maintained  for each  participant  and is
     credited  with  participant   contributions   and  allocations  of  Sponsor
     contributions,  Plan earnings, and forfeitures of terminated  participants'
     nonvested accounts. Allocations of Plan earnings are based on participants'
     daily account balances. Sponsor contributions and forfeitures are allocated
     based on  annual  compensation  of  participants.  Unallocated  forfeitures
     totalled $407,636 at December 31, 2002.

     Payment of Benefits
     -------------------
     In the event of  retirement,  disability,  or death,  accumulated  benefits
     become  vested  and  are   distributed   to   participants   or  designated
     beneficiaries by lump-sum payment or through various annuity options.

     In the event of termination of employment,  participants have the option of
     receiving  vested  accumulated  benefits  through  lump-sum  distributions,
     leaving the vested value of their accounts in the Plan until retirement, or
     transferring amounts into an individual retirement account.

     Participants may withdraw their voluntary contributions at anytime.

     Participants may elect to take early withdrawals of employer  contributions
     if they have  participated in the Plan for at least five years.  Such early
     withdrawals  will not  result  in  suspension  of  allocations  of  Sponsor
     contributions.

     Participant Loans
     -----------------
     Participants  may borrow a minimum of $1,000  from their  accounts  up to a
     maximum  equal to the  lesser of  $50,000  or 50% of their  vested  account
     balance.  Participants  may have no more than two loans  outstanding at one
     time.  Loans plus interest must be repaid within five years through payroll
     deductions.  These loans bear interest at the prevailing  prime rate at the
     loan  inception  date.  The loans are secured by the vested  balance in the
     participant's account.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     General
     -------

     The Plan  prepares its financial  statements  under  accounting  principles
     generally accepted in the United States of America.

     Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
     -------------------------------------------
     The  Plan's  guaranteed  interest  account  is  valued at  contract  value.
     Insurance  separate  accounts  are  reported by  Massachusetts  Mutual Life
     Insurance  Company  (the  "Trustee")  at the fair  value of the  underlying
     investments.  The pooled account  invests solely in the common stock of Old
     Republic  International  ("ORI"),  the ultimate parent of the Sponsor.  The
     value of the  pooled ORI common  stock  account is based on the  underlying
     quoted market value of the ORI common stock.  Participant  loans are valued
     at principal  balance,  which  approximates  fair value.  Net  appreciation
     (depreciation)  in  fair  value  of  investments  includes  unrealized  and
     realized  gains and  losses.  Interest  income is  recorded  on the accrual
     basis.

     Benefits and Withdrawals
     ------------------------
     Benefits and  withdrawals  are recorded when paid. At December 31, 2002 and
     2001, there were no significant amounts owed to participants.

     Income Tax Status
     -----------------
     The Plan  obtained  its latest  determination  letter on April 3, 1995,  in
     which the Internal  Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,
     was in compliance with the applicable  requirements of the Internal Revenue
     Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the  determination  letter.
     However,  the  Plan  administrator  believes  that  the  Plan is  currently
     designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable  requirements
     of the Internal Revenue Code.

     Use of Estimates

     The  presentation  of financial  statements in conformity  with  accounting
     principles  generally  accepted  in the United  States of America  requires
     management  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the  reported
     amounts of assets,  liabilities,  and changes  therein,  and  disclosure of
     contingent  assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

3.   Investments

     The Plan is invested in a group  annuity  contract  with the  Trustee.  The
     contract allows for a participant-directed investment program in commingled
     subaccounts  sponsored by the Trustee.  Investment  options  include  fixed
     income, asset allocation,  domestic equity, flexible equity,  international
     equity subaccount option and a guaranteed interest fund. In addition to the
     investment  options  offered  through the  Trustee,  participants  may also
     invest in a pooled  account  that  invests  solely  in common  stock of the
     Sponsor's parent, Old Republic International.

4.   Guaranteed Interest Fund

     The Plan  holds an  investment  contract  with  Massachusetts  Mutual  Life
     Insurance  Company.  Massachusetts  Mutual Life Insurance Company maintains
     the  contributions  in a pooled  account.  The  account  is  credited  with
     earnings on the underlying investments,  charges for Plan withdrawals,  and
     administrative  expense  charges by  Massachusetts  Mutual  Life  Insurance
     Company.  The contract is included in the financial  statements at contract
     value,  (which  represents  contributions  made  under the  contract,  plus
     earnings,  less  withdrawals  and  administrative  expenses)  because it is
     considered  fully   benefit-responsive.   For  example,   participants  may
     ordinarily  direct the  withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their
     investment at contract value.  There are no reserves against contract value
     for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.  The contract value of
     the investment  contract at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was  $17,924,476 and
     $14,194,942,  respectively.  The average yield and  crediting  rates ranged
     from 6.00% and 6.75% for 2002 and 2001.  The crediting  rate is based on an
     agreed-upon formula with the issuer, but cannot be less than five percent.

5.   Related Party Transactions

     Certain Plan  investments  are  insurance  separate  accounts  sponsored by
     Massachusetts  Mutual Life  Insurance  Company.  Massachusetts  Mutual Life
     Insurance  Company is the  Trustee  as defined by the Plan and,  therefore,
     these transactions qualify as party-in-interest  transactions. Fees paid by
     the Sponsor on behalf of the Plan for the  investment  management  services
     amounted to $61,554 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Expenses incurred
     in the administration of the Plan are also paid by the Sponsor.

6.   Plan Termination

     Although  it has not  expressed  any intent to do so, the  Sponsor  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 Plan termination,  participants would become 100% vested in
     their employer contributions.

7.   Reconciliation to Form 5500

     There are no  reconciling  items from  these  financial  statements  to the
     Plan's Form 5500 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
