-    the affect  weather has on our business; 
-    the affect  of environmental and other government regulation; and 
-    the affect  of federal and state funding on demand for our products. 

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

    Reference is made to the Management's Discussion  and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Accounting  Policies incorporated herein by reference to Item 7 of the Company's Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for accounting  policies which are considered by management to be critical to an understanding  of the Company's financial statements.

     The Company adopted the provisionsof  the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,"Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB StatementNo. 109" ("FIN 48").  FIN 48 clarifies the application of Statement 109 bydefining a recognition threshold of "more likely than not" that the positionwould be sustained upon examination before any part of the benefit of thatposition be recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. It also providesguidance on the measurement of the tax position. The adoption ofFIN 48 had no material effect on the Company's financial position, operations orcash flows.

    The Company or one of its subsidiariesfiles income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various statejurisdictions.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal or stateincome tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - OVERVIEW**

    Our products are used in residential,  commercial and governmental construction.  In recent years we experienced  the return of increased demand for our products.  The combination of  residential, commercial and governmental construction activities resulted in  the need for increased production to meet our customers' needs.  In  response to those needs, we have made, and continue to make, investments in  our plant and equipment to increase production and improve efficiencies.  

    Operating results for the first quarter vary  considerably from year-to-year.  Sales and the resulting income (loss) are  significantly affected by the length and severity of winter weather and the  corresponding slowdown in construction activity.  Cement and ready-mixed  concrete sales for the first quarter of 2007 were impacted by a longer period  of cold weather as compared to 2006.  Volume decreases resulting from unfavorable weather conditions,  partially offset by increases in price, resulted in a decrease in net  income. We anticipate sales in both the Cement Business and  Ready-Mixed Concrete Business will improve during the balance of 2007.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FIRST QUARTER OF 2007 COMPARED  TO FIRST QUARTER OF 2006**

    Consolidated net sales for the three  months ended March 31, 2007, decreased by $7.0 million when compared to the  three months ended March 31, 2006.  Sales in our Cement Business were  lower by $1.2 million and sales in our Ready-Mixed Concrete Business were  lower by $5.8 million.  Cement Business sales decreased $2.1 million due  to decreased volume sold and increased $.9 million due to price increases.   Ready-mixed concrete sales and other sundry building materials decreased $6.3  million as a result of decreased volume which was partially offset by a $.5  million increase due to price increases. 

    Consolidated cost of sales for the three months  ended March 31, 2007, decreased by $5.9 million when compared to the three  months ended March 31, 2006.  Cost of sales in our Cement Business was  lower  by $.8 million and cost of sales in our Ready-Mixed Concrete Business was  lower by $5.1 million.  Cement Business cost of sales decreased about $1.5  million due to the 19.0% decrease in volume sold which was partially offset by  increased depreciation for new equipment that recently went online. Ready-Mixed Concrete  Business cost of sales decreased due to the decreased volume sold. 

    As a result of the  above sales and cost of sales factors, our overall gross profit rate for the  three months ended March 31, 2007 was 15.4% versus 15.5% for the three months  ended March 31, 2006.

    Selling, general,  and administrative expenses increased by 12.1% during the first quarter of  2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006.  These costs are normally  considered fixed costs that do not vary significantly with changes in sales  volume.  This increase is primarily due to an increase in legal and  professional fees  in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006 due to  expenses related to Sarbanes Oxley compliance efforts and  pending litigation. 

    Other, net increased  approximately $1.3 million during the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the  first quarter of 2006 primarily due to an increase in the amount of gain  realized on the sale of other equity investments.

    Interest expense increased about $.3million for the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006due to an increase in interest rates and an increase in borrowings.  TheCompany utilized these loans for capital improvements and temporary operatingfunds.

    The effective tax rates for the three months  ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were 30.4% and 30.9%, respectively.  The  Company's effective tax rate differs from the federal and state statutory  income tax rate primarily due to the effects of percentage depletion, domestic  production activities deduction, minority  interest in consolidated income (loss) and valuation allowance.  Taxes for the  current year are estimated based on prior year effective tax rates.  

** LIQUIDITY**

**   **  We are able to meet our  cash needs primarily from a combination of operations and bank loans.  Cash  increased during the first three months of 2007 primarily due to the sale of  equity investments and increased borrowings.   

       In December 2006, we  renewed and modified our line of credit with our current lender.  Our current unsecured  credit commitment consists of a $25 million advancing term loan maturing  December 31, 2009 and a $15 million line of credit maturing December 31,  2007.  The term loan bears a floating interest rate based on JP Morgan Chase  prime rate less .75% and the line of credit bears a floating interest rate  based on lender's national prime rate less 1.00%.  The loan agreement contains  a financial covenant related to net worth which the Company was in compliance  with at the end of the first quarter of 2007.  As of March 31, 2007, we had  borrowed $20.9 million on the advancing term loan and $9.8 million on the line  of credit leaving a balance available on the line of credit of $5.2 million.   The annual weighted average interest rate we paid on the advancing term loan  during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 was 7.5% and 6.67%, respectively.   The annual weighted average interest rate we paid on the line of credit during  the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 was 7.25% and 6.42%, respectively.  At the  end of the quarter, the applicable interest rate was 7.5% on the advancing  term loan and 7.25% on the line of credit. The advancing term loan was used to  help finance the expansion project at our cement manufacturing facility.   The line of credit was used to cover operating expenses during the first  quarter of the year when we build inventory due to the seasonality of our  business. Our board of  directors has given management the authority to borrow an additional $10  million for a maximum of $50 million. 

         The Company plans further capital expenditures,  including changes to our quarrying and grinding operation to supply the raw  materials required by the increased kiln capacity, improvements to our fuel  handling system and installation of an overland conveyor system to improve  efficiencies in moving raw materials. However, we do not anticipate capital expenditures for 2007 to be at the level  of 2006 and we do not anticipate the need for additional bank financing other than that available  under existing lines of credit.

      For several years the  Company has paid a $.20 per share dividend in January, March, June and  September.  Beginning with the April 2006 Board of Directors meeting, the Board elected to  increase these dividends to $.21 per share and at the April 2007 Board of  Directors meeting, the Board increased the dividend to $.22 per share. Although  dividends are declared at the Board's discretion, we project future earnings  will support the continued payment of dividends at the current level.

**FINANCIAL  CONDITION**

    Total assets as of March 31, 2007 were $167.4  million, an increase of $4.9 million since December 31, 2006 due to increases  in receivables and inventories of approximately $.7 million and $5.3 million,  respectively.  These variations are common during the first quarter of  the year due to the seasonality of our business (see Seasonality below).  

    Accounts payable increased about $2.0 million as  of March 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 primarily due to the expenses  related to increased sales volume in March over December.

    Indebtedness increased about $2.9 million during  the first three months of 2007 primarily due to funding the increases in receivables  and inventories of approximately $.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

**CAPITAL  RESOURCES**
    The Company  regularly invests in miscellaneous equipment and facility improvements in both  the Cement Business and Ready-Mixed Concrete Business.  Capital expenditures  during the first quarter of 2007 included expenditures to improve efficienciesin moving raw materials. We also invested in routine equipment purchases during the first  quarter of 2007, primarily in the Ready-Mixed Concrete Business. During the  first quarter of 2007, cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment  totaled approximately $1.1 million, excluding the amounts that are included in  accounts payable.  
    Preliminary plans under  consideration for 2007 include changes to our quarrying and grinding operation  to supply the raw materials required by the increased kiln capacity. TheCompany also plans to invest in other miscellaneous equipment and facilityimprovements in both the Cement Business and Ready-Mixed Concrete Business in2007.  It is expected that the Company's capital expenditures willapproximate $14 million during 2007 and will be funded with a mixture of cashfrom operations and temporary bank loans. We  do not anticipate the need for additional bank financing beyond the amount  available through our existing line of credit.

**MARKET RISK**     

    Market risks  relating to the Company's operations result primarily from changes in demand  for our products.  A significant increase in interest rates could lead to  a reduction in construction activities in both the residential and commercial  market.  Budget shortfalls during economic slowdowns could cause money to  be diverted away from highway projects, schools, detention facilities and  other governmental construction projects.  Reduction in construction  activity lowers the demand for cement, ready-mixed concrete, concrete products  and sundry building materials.  As demand decreases, competition to  retain sales volume could create downward pressure on sales prices.  The  manufacture of cement requires a significant investment in property, plant and  equipment and a trained workforce to operate and maintain this equipment.  These costs do not materially vary with the level of production.  As a  result, by operating at or near capacity, regardless of demand, companies can  reduce per unit production costs.  The continual need to control  production costs encourages overproduction during periods of reduced demand.

**INFLATION**

      Inflation  directly affects the Company's operating costs.  The manufacture of cement  requires the use of a significant amount of energy.  The Company burns  primarily solid fuels, such as coal and petroleum coke, and to a lesser extent  natural gas, in its kilns and uses a significant amount of electricity to  operate our cement manufacturing equipment.  An increase in such manufacturing  components could adversely affect us.  Prices of the specialized replacement  parts and equipment the Company must continually purchase tend to increase  directly with the rate of inflation causing manufacturing costs to increase. 

**SEASONALITY**

    Portland cement is the basic material used in  the production of ready-mixed concrete that is used in highway, bridge and  building construction.  These construction activities are seasonal in nature.   During winter months when the ground is frozen, groundwork preparation cannot  be completed.  Cold temperatures affect concrete set-time, strength and  durability, limiting its use in winter months.  Dry ground conditions are also  required for construction activities to proceed.  During the summer, winds and  warmer temperatures tend to dry the ground quicker creating fewer delays in  construction projects.

    Variations in weather conditions from  year-to-year significantly affect the demand for our products during any  particular quarter; however, our Company's highest revenue and earnings  historically occur in its second and third fiscal quarters, April through  September.

 

Item 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures  about Market Risk

    The Company owns $15.4 million of equity  securities, primarily publicly traded entities, as of March 31, 2007.  These  investments are not hedged and are exposed to the risk of changing market  prices.  The Company classifies these securities as "available-for-sale" for  accounting purposes and marks them to market on the balance sheet at the end  of each period.  Management estimates that its investments will generally be  consistent with trends and movements of the overall stock market excluding any  unusual situations.  An immediate 10% change in the market price of our equity  securities would have a $.9 million effect on comprehensive income.

    The Company also has $30.7 million of bank loans  as of March 31, 2007.  Interest rates on the Company's advancing term loan and  line of credit are variable and are based on the JP Morgan Chase prime rate  less .75% and lender's national prime rate less 1.00%, respectively. 

Item 4.          Controls and Procedures 

    The Company maintains disclosure controls and  procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-5(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act)  that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the  Company's reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized  and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the  Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated  and communicated to the Company's management, including its President and  Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding  required disclosures.  Any controls and procedures, no matter how well  designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the  desired control objectives.

    As of the end of the period covered by this  report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company's management, including  its President and Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Financial  Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as  defined in Rules 13a-5(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Based  upon that evaluation, the Company's President and Chairman of the Board of  Directors and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls  and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this  report.

    There were no changes in our internal control  over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007  that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our  internal control over financial reporting. 

  PART  II.   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

    The Company and Tulsa Dynaspan, Inc. ("TDI")  a subsidiary of the Company, are defendants in a case brought by David Markle,  Richard Evilsizer, and five other named plaintiffs, filed in the District  Court of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, on December 29, 2004 and amended on January  19, 2005, January 6, 2006, August 18, 2006, and January 12, 2007. Prior to the  August 18, 2006 amendment, Plaintiffs dismissed claims they had previously  asserted for defamation and various business torts, derivative claims brought  on behalf of the Company, and claims to ownership of an invention relating to  parking garage construction. Markle and Evilsizer remain as Plaintiffs; the  five other original Plaintiffs remain in the action only as counterclaim  defendants. Plaintiffs seek an award of actual and exemplary damages from the  Company, one of its directors and four of TDI's directors for alleged breach  of fiduciary duties owed to TDI, based upon derivative and breach of contract  claims. The Company has asserted a counterclaim based upon breach of contract  against Markle and TDI has asserted counterclaims based upon breach of  fiduciary duty, misappropriation, violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse  Act and the Oklahoma Trade Secrets Act, unjust enrichment, and various  business torts against all of the original plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also seek an  order from the Court that the Company purchase Plaintiffs' shares of TDI stock  for fair value. On April 10, 2007, the Court heard arguments on various  motions and subsequently entered the following orders: Monarch and the  individual directors' motion for summary judgment dismissing all of  Plaintiffs' claims was granted; Monarch's motion for summary judgment on its  pre-termination competition claim against Markle was granted; TDI's motion for  summary judgment against Plaintiffs for unjust enrichment and breach of  fiduciary duty was granted; Markle's motion for partial summary judgment on  the non-compete agreement executed by the parties was denied. Additional  hearings to establish TDI's and Monarch's damages will be necessary; all of  Plaintiffs' claims have now been dismissed. No assurances can be given as to  the outcome of this litigation.
