Aspreviously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31,2006, Monarch expects to contribute approximately $545,000 to the pension fundin 2007.  As of June 30, 2007, we have contributed about $155,000 andanticipate contributing an additional $390,000 to this plan in 2007 for a totalof $545,000. The other benefits consist ofpostretirement benefits that are self-insured by Monarch and are paid out ofMonarch's general assets.  As previously disclosed in our financial statementsfor the year ended December 31, 2006, Monarch expects to contributeapproximately $1,400,000 to this plan in 2007.  As of June 30, 2007, we havecontributed about $655,000 and anticipate contributing an additional $745,000to this plan in 2007 for a total of $1,400,000.
-  A Monarch subsidiary, Monarch and three of its officers are  involved in a lawsuit with the former officers of that subsidiary and  companies formed by those officers.  All claims against Monarch, its  subsidiary and officers have been dismissed by the court; on the counterclaims  asserted by Monarch and the subsidiary, summary judgment has been granted  against the former officers with damage amounts still to be determined at  trial.  For additional information on this matter, see Item 1, Part II of this  report on Form 10-Q.  

 
-  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 subsidiaries files income tax  returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.   With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal or state  income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003. 
-  The    Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting    Standards ("SFAS") No. 158, *"Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit    Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No.    87, 88, 106, and 132(R)"* on December 31, 2006. The most significant    change was the requirement for the Company to recognize the entire overfunded    or underfunded status of its defined benefit and postretirement plans as  assets or liabilities in its statement of financial position and to recognize  changes, net of taxes, in that funded status in the year in which the changes  occur through comprehensive income. The Company correctly recognized the  funded status of the plans in its statement of financial position in its  December 31, 2006 10-K filing. Subsequently, we have been advised that  adjustments due to the adoption of FAS 158 for pension and postretirement  should not have been included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year of  adoption, but rather should have been a direct adjustment to Accumulated Other  Comprehensive Income. We will so report these adjustments with respect to the  2006 Statement of Comprehensive Income in the next Form 10-K filing. The "as reported"  and "as revised" amounts of Other Comprehensive Income are as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  
**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

       Certain statements under  the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q report filed with the  Securities and Exchange Commission, constitute "forward-looking statements".   Except for historical information, the statements made in this report are  forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  You can  identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "should", "expect",  "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "may", "hope", "forecast" or similar  words.  In particular, statements with respect to variations in future demand  for our products in our market area, the timing, scope, cost and benefits of  our proposed and recently completed capital improvements and expansion plans,  including the resulting increase in production capacity, our forecasted cement  sales, the timing and source of funds for the repayment of our line of credit,  and our anticipated increase in solid fuels and electricity required to  operate our facilities and equipment are all forward-looking statements.  You  should be aware that forward-looking statements involve known and unknown  risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may affect the actual results,  performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking  statements. Such factors include, among others:
-    general  economic and business conditions; 
-    competition; 
-    raw  material and other operating costs; 
-    costs of  capital equipment; 
-    changes in  business strategy or expansion plans; 
-    demand for  our Company's products; 
-    cyclical  and seasonal nature of our business; 
-    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 six  months 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 six months of of 2007 were impacted by abnormally  rainy weather, a longer period  of cold weather and a slowdown in residential construction as compared to 2006.  Volume decreases resulting from  these 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 as  weather conditions allow weather delayed projects to resume.

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

    Consolidated net sales for the three  months ended June 30, 2007, decreased by $3.5 million when compared to the  three months ended June 30, 2006.  Sales in our Cement Business were  lower by $1.1 million and sales in our Ready-Mixed Concrete Business were  lower by $2.4 million.  Cement Business sales decreased $2.7 million due  to decreased volume sold and increased $1.6 million due to price increases.   Ready-mixed concrete sales and other sundry building materials decreased $3  million as a result of decreased volume which was partially offset by a $.6  million increase due to price increases. 

    Consolidated cost of sales for the three months  ended June 30, 2007, decreased by $1.3 million when compared to the three  months ended June 30, 2006.  Cost of sales in our Cement Business was  higher  by $.8 million and cost of sales in our Ready-Mixed Concrete Business was  lower by $2.1 million.  Cement Business cost of sales increased primarily  due to 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 June 30, 2007 was 23.3% versus 26.6% for the three months  ended June 30, 2006. 

    Other, net increased  approximately $1.2 million during the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the  second quarter of 2006 primarily due to an increase in the gains  realized on the sale of other equity investments.

    The effective tax rates for the three months  ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 31.4% 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.  

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2007 COMPARED  TO THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2006**

    Consolidated net  sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007, decreased by $10.5 million  when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Sales in our Cement  Business were lower by $2.3 million and sales in our Ready-Mixed Concrete  Business were lower by $8.2 million.  Cement Business sales decreased $4.8  million due to decreased volume sold which was partially offset by $2.5  million due to price increases.  Sales in the Ready-Mixed Concrete  Business decreased $9.3 million due to decreased volume which was partially  offset by $1.1 million due to price increases primarily in  sales of ready-mixed concrete.

    Consolidated cost of sales for the six months  ended June 30, 2007, decreased by $7.1 million when compared to the six  months ended June 30, 2006.  Cost of sales in our Cement Business was  relatively unchanged and cost of sales in our Ready-Mixed Concrete Business was  lower by $7.1 million.  Cement Business cost of sales decreased due to a  14.9% decrease in volume sold which was completely offset by higher production  costs primarily related to increased depreciation for new equipment that  recently went online. Ready-Mixed Concrete  Business cost of sales decreased due to a 28% decrease in volume sold. The  decrease in cost of sales was partially offset by  an average 10.8% increase in costs for raw materials, including cement, rock,  sand and sundry building materials purchased for resale, due in large part to higher  fuel prices.  

    As a result of the  above sales and cost of sales factors, our overall gross profit rate for the  six months ended June 30, 2007 was 20.3% versus 22% for the six months  ended June 30, 2006.

    Selling, general,  and administrative expenses increased by 7.9% during the first half of  2007 compared to the first half 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 $2.5 million for the first half of 2007 as compared to the first  half of 2006 primarily due to an increase  in the gains  realized on the sale of other equity investments.

    Interest expense increased about $.3million for the first half of 2007 as compared to the first half 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 six months  ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 31.3% 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, the sale of equity  investments and bank loans.

       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 second quarter of 2007.  As of June 30, 2007, we had  borrowed $20.4 million on the advancing term loan and $9.0 million on the line  of credit leaving a balance available on the line of credit of $6.0 million.   The annual weighted average interest rate we paid on the advancing term loan  during the second quarter of 2007 and 2006 was 7.5% and 7.1%, respectively,  and for the first six months of 2007 and 2006 was 7.5% and 6.9%, respectively.   The annual weighted average interest rate we paid on the line of credit during  the second quarter of 2007 and 2006 was 7.25% and 6.9%, respectively, and for  the first six months of 2007 and 2006 was 7.25% and 6.7%, respectively.   As of June 30, 2007, 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  six months 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 as  great as 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  June 30, 2007 were $170.1  million, an increase of $7.6 million since December 31, 2006 due to increases  in receivables and inventories of approximately $4.8 million and $4.9 million,  respectively.  These variations are common during the first six months of  the year due to the seasonality of our business (see Seasonality below).  

    Accounts payable increased about $1.7 million as  of June 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 primarily due to the expenses  related to increased sales volume in June over December.

    Indebtedness increased about $1.5 million during  the first six months of 2007 primarily due to funding the increases in receivables  and inventories.

**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 six months of 2007 included expenditures to improve efficienciesin moving raw materials. We also invested in routine equipment purchases during the first  half of 2007, primarily in the Ready-Mixed Concrete Business. During the  first half of 2007, cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment  totaled approximately $4.1 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 $12 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 $15.3 million of equity  securities, primarily publicly traded entities, as of June 30, 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 $29.5 million of bank loans  as of June 30, 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-15(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-15(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 June 30, 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.
