**PART I**

**ITEM 1.     BUSINESS**

  We refer to pages 1, 2 and 31through 33 of The Monarch Cement  Company's 2007 annual report to stockholders (filed herewith as Exhibit 13)  for a description of the Company's business, including information regarding  lines of business.  Such description is hereby incorporated herein by  reference.  In addition, we submit the following information:                The  Company did not introduce any new products nor begin to do business in a new  industry segment during 2007.

  The  Company owns and operates quarries located near its Humboldt, Kansas plant.   Such quarries contain all essential raw materials presently used by the  Company.  The Company's total reserves, including these quarries and other  property located near the plant, are estimated to be sufficient to maintain  operations at the Humboldt plant's present capacity for more than 50 years.   While these raw materials are accessible to the Company, we have determined  that additional capital expenditures will be needed to improve the movement of  raw materials to our plant.  We refer you to the disclosure under the  heading "Capital Resources" in our 2007 annual report to stockholders (filed  herewith as Exhibit13), which is incorporated herein by reference. 

The  Company's products are marketed under registered trademarks using the name  "MONARCH".  The Company's operations are not materially dependent on any  trademarks, franchises, patents or on any licenses relating to the use  thereof.

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.

It is  necessary for the Company to invest a significant portion of its working  capital in inventories.  At December 31, 2007 the Company had inventories as  follows:
Cement
$  6,110,974Work in process2,569,641Building products4,518,379Fuel, gypsum and other materials4,606,447Operating and maintenance supplies                    9,759,949Total$ 27,565,390

The  Company is heavily dependent upon the construction industry and is directly  affected by the level of activity in that industry.  However, no customer  accounted for 10% or more of the Company's consolidated net revenue during  2007, 2006, or 2005. 

Backlog  of customers' orders is not a material factor in the Company's business. 

The  Company has no contracts that are subject to renegotiation of profits or  termination thereof at the election of the government.

The  manufacture and sale of cement and ready‐mixed concrete are extremely  competitive enterprises.  A number of producers, including several nationwide  manufacturers, compete for business with the Company in its market area.  The  Company is not a significant factor in the nationwide portland cement or  ready-mixed concrete business but does constitute a significant market factor  for cement in its market area.  Cement generally is produced to meet standard  specifications and there is little differentiation between the products sold  by the Company and its competitors.  Accordingly, competition exists primarily  in the areas of price and customer service.

The  Company did not spend a material amount in the last three fiscal years on  Company sponsored research and development.  However, the Company is a member  of the Portland Cement Association which conducts research for the cement  industry.

The  Company has, during the past several years, made substantial capital  expenditures for pollution control equipment.  The Company also incurs normal  operating and maintenance expenditures in connection with its pollution  control equipment.

At  December 31, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries employed approximately  595  employees including 455 hourly employees and 140 salaried employees, which included plant supervisory  personnel, sales and executive staff.  Of the 595 total employees,  approximately 38% are union employees.  None of the union contracts  covering the Company's union employees expire in 2008.  The Company believes it has a good working  relationship with its employees and has been successful in negotiating  multiyear union contracts without work stoppages. 

All of  the Company's operations and sales are in one geographic area consisting  primarily of the State of Kansas, the State of Iowa, southeast Nebraska,  western Missouri, northwest Arkansas and northern Oklahoma.

The  Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current  Reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed with or  furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, are available free of  charge through the "SEC Filings" link of the Company's website,  http://www.monarchcement.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after filing  with or furnished to the SEC.

**ITEM 1A.  RISK  FACTORS**

  We refer to pages 9  and 10 of The Monarch Cement Company's 2007  annual report to stockholders (filed herewith as Exhibit 13) for a description  of the Company's market risk.  Such information is hereby incorporated herein  by reference.

**ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFFCOMMENTS**

None.

**ITEM 2.     PROPERTIES**

The Company's corporate office and cement plant,  including equipment and raw materials are located at Humboldt, Kansas,  approximately 110 miles southwest of Kansas City, Missouri.  The Company owns  approximately 5,000 acres of land on which the Humboldt plant, offices and all  essential raw materials are located.  Construction completed in 2006  increased our plant's capacity allowing us to produce in excess of one million  tons of cement per year.  Producing at that level, raw material reserves are  estimated to be sufficient to maintain operations at this plant for more than  50 years.  The Company believes that this plant and equipment  are suitable and adequate for its current level of operations and provides for  increases in market demand.  However, the Company is involved in the  planning and design phases for improvements to our fuel handling system and  the installation of an overland conveyer system to improve efficiency in  moving raw materials.  We refer to pages 8 and 9 of the Company's 2007 annual report to  stockholders (filed herewith as Exhibit 13) for a more detailed description of the Company's  capital resources and improvements under consideration.  Such information is hereby incorporated  herein by reference.

The  Company also owns approximately 250 acres of land in Des Moines, Iowa on which  it operates a cement terminal.  The Company transfers cement produced in  Humboldt, Kansas to this terminal for distribution to Iowa customers.  The  Company also owns a rock quarry located near  Earlham, Iowa, approximately 30 miles west of Des Moines, Iowa.  Approximately  300 acres of this 400 acre tract has been quarried and the Company has  contracted with a third party to quarry and sell the remaining rock.  This quarry  operation will not have a material effect on the Company's overall operations.

The  Company owns various companies which sell ready-mixed concrete, concrete  products and sundry building materials in metropolitan areas within the  Humboldt cement plant's primary market.  Various equipment and facility  improvements in this line of business ensure these plants are suitable and  adequate for their current level of operations and provide for increases in  market demand.  Individual locations do not have a material effect on the  Company's overall operations.

**ITEM 3.     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.  Because of  the failure of certain plaintiffs to participate in a pretrial conference the  proceedings are now bifurcated.  Markle and Evilsizer have filed bankruptcy.  A  hearing on actual and punitive damages against Parking Builders, GBS and ENCO  was held on February 1, 2008.  On February 29, 2008, TDI was awarded  $3,117,574 in actual damages and an additional $3,117,574 in punitive damages  against GBS and ENCO; TDI was awarded $1,614,720 in actual damages and an  additional $1,614,720 in punitive damages against Parking Builders.   No assurances can be given as to the collectability of these damage awards.   A jury  trial to establish damages against Martin and Bobbitt on some claims and  liability and damages on other claims is set for April 14, 2008.  No  assurances can be given as to the outcome of this litigation.

**ITEM 4.     SUBMISSION OF  MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY  HOLDERS**

The  Company did not submit any matter to a vote of security holders, through the  solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of 2007.

**ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE  DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET  RISK**

The  Company is exposed to various market risks, including equity investment  prices.  The Company had $13,468,319 of equity securities as of December 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.  Equity securities whose fair  value is not readily determinable are carried at cost.  The aggregate  carrying amount of securities carried at cost in investments was $2.1 million  as of December 31, 2007.  The Company is not aware of any events or  changes in circumstances that occurred during 2007 that had a significant  adverse effect on the fair value of the investments carried at cost.  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 an $808,000 effect on  comprehensive income.

                  The Company also has $19,357,963 of bank loans as of December 31, 2007.   Interest rates on the Company's advancing term loan are variable and are based  on the JP Morgan Chase
