                       REPORT TO INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the
Great West Casualty Company Profit Sharing Plan:


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the  related  statements  of changes in net assets  available  for  benefits
present fairly, in all material respects,  the net assets available for benefits
of the Great West Casualty  Company Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") at December
31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in net assets  available for benefits for the
years then ended 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  resonsibility  is to express an opnion 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 audit to
obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free of
material  missstatement.  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 opnion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental 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  Regultions  for Reporting and
Disclosure  under the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974.  The
supplemental  schedule has been subjected to the auditing  procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opnion, is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial  statements taken as
a whole.

                 GREAT WEST CASUALTY COMPANY PROFIT SHARING PLAN
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The  following  brief  description  of the Great West  Casualty  Company  Profit
Sharing 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  profit-sharing plan sponsored by Great West
Casualty  Company  (the  "Company"),  covering  all  eligible  employees  of the
Company, as well as its affiliates. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.

(b) Contributions and Participant Accounts

Participants  may  contribute  1/2% to 15% of their annual wages to the Plan. In
2002 and 2001, the Company made matching  contributions to the Plan equal to 25%
of the first 6% of the employees' pre-tax contribution amount.  Participants may
elect  to have  their  contributions  invested  in any one or more of  seventeen
separate  investment  funds.  The Company  may also  contribute  an  additional,
nonmatching  amount  out of its  current  or  accumulated  profits,  if any,  as
determined by the Company.

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's  contributions and
an allocation of (a) the Company's contributions as described above and (b) Plan
earnings.  Allocations are based on participant account balances as defined. The
benefit to which a  participant  is entitled is the benefit that can be provided
from the participant's account.

(c) Eligibility and Vesting

Under the terms of the Plan, an employee shall become  eligible for inclusion in
the Plan 30 days following the first day he/she completes an hour of service and
upon  reaching  age  21.  An  employee   shall  become   eligible  for  employer
discretionary  contributions  upon reaching age 21 and after completion of 1,000
hours of service in any one Plan year,  beginning with the date of hire. Minimum
age for vesting service is 18 years.

All employee and employer  matching  contributions  are immediately 100% vested.
Participants become fully vested in the value of the discretionary contributions
after 7 years of credited  service for  participants  starting before January 1,
2002,  and after 6 years of  credited  service for  participants  starting on or
after January 1, 2002.

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

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN, Continued

(d) Payment of Benefits

On  termination  of  service,  retirement  or death,  a  participant  or his/her
beneficiary  may elect to leave funds in the Plan or receive either a single-sum
payment or purchase of a single  premium  life annuity  contract.  Net assets at
December 31, 2002 and 2001,  include  funds  totaling  $896,800 and  $3,713,505,
respectively,  which  represent  the account  balance of retired and  terminated
participants  who have elected to leave the funds in the Plan upon retirement or
termination.

(e) Forfeitures

All  forfeitures  are  segregated  until the employee has attained a break(s) in
service totaling five years. At that time, forfeitures are allocated pro-rata to
each participant  account according to their respective  earnings for that year.
There were  unallocated  assets of $1,189,695 and  $1,123,029,  respectively  at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, related to these forfeitures.

(f) Loans

Participants may elect to borrow from the Plan based upon specified  conditions.
A participant  may have two outstanding  loans at any time.  Minimum single loan
amount is $1,000.  In no case shall the aggregate amount loaned to a participant
exceed the lesser of the  following:  (a)  $50,000  reduced by the excess of the
highest  outstanding  balance of loans from the Plan  during the one year period
ending on the date before the date of the loan to the participant; or (b) 50% of
the participant's vested account balance. The interest rate on such loans is the
prime  rate as  declared  in the Wall  Street  Journal  plus 1%.  Principal  and
interest is repaid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions.

(g) Administrative Expenses

The Company  provides  administrative  support for the Plan and pays for certain
administrative and trustee fees.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation 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 net assets
available for benefits and  disclosure 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.

(c) 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  possible  that  changes  in  risks  in the  near

term could  materially  affect  participants'  account  balances and the amounts
reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement
of changes in net assets available for benefits.

(d) Investments

The Plan has a contract with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CGLIC),
where  CGLIC  maintains  contributions  in a  contractholder's  account and such
contributions are allocated to seventeen separate  investment funds 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 CGLIC general  account is included in the  financial  statements at contract
value.  The other  separate  investment  funds  are  included  in the  financial
statements  at fair market value at December  31, 2002 and 2001,  as reported to
the  Plan by  CGLIC.  Realized  investment  gains  and  losses  in the  separate
investment  funds  are  recognized  in the year of sale.  Four  pooled  separate
accounts are included in the  financial  statements  at market value at December
31, 2002 and 2001, and are no longer investment options.

ORI common stock is stated at the closing  market value on the last business day
of the year.  The Plan  presents  in the  statements  of  changes  in net assets
available for benefits the net appreciation  (depreciation) in the fair value of
the ORI stock  account,  which  consists  of  realized  gains or losses  and the
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of this investment.
