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:

1.

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 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

3.

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.

4.

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.  All dividends are discretionary and are based on past financial performance and availability of funds.  The Company is not restricted regarding payment of dividends, but does have a financial covenant related to net worth.

The Company does not have any compensation plans or individual compensation arrangements under which equity securities of the registrant are authorized for issuance to employees or non-employees.

The Company did not sell any of its equity securities during 2007 and the Company did not repurchase any of its equity securities 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
