                         Report of Independent Auditors



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, 2003 and 2002,  and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003 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
December 31, 2003 and 2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 the IRS. Excess contributions to
        be returned  to  participants  based on  qualification  testing  totaled
        $142,684 and  $162,700  for the years ended  December 31, 2003 and 2002,
        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 $465,175 at December 31, 2003.

        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  collateralized  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 unpaid 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. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
        date.

        Benefits and Withdrawals
        Benefits and  withdrawals  are recorded  when paid. At December 31, 2003
        and  2002,  there  were  no  significant   amounts  due  but  unpaid  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  a  proportionate   share  of  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, 2003 and 2002 was  $21,972,863  and
        $17,924,476,  respectively. The average yield and crediting rates ranged
        from 4.7% and 6.00% for 2003 and 2002. The crediting rate is based on an
        agreed-upon formula with the issuer, but cannot be less than 3%.

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 $67,118 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Other
        Plan administrative expenses 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, 2003.
