                          MONROC, INC

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (Unaudited)



Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Monroc,
Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.  In the opinion of
management, all normally recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial information have been
reflected therein.  Because of the seasonality and cyclicality of
the Company's businesses, the operating results for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1996.  The revenues and net earnings for any interim period are
not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for
the entire year.

     These statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995.


Note 2.  Stock Options

     As of July 31, 1996, the Company had granted stock options
under the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan to various officers,
directors and employees of the Company covering the aggregate
amount of 174,300 shares of common stock.  On May 22, 1996, the
shareholders approved the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan which
includes 300,000 shares of Common Stock.  As of July 31, 1996,
the  Company had granted stock options under the 1996 Option Plan
covering 200,000 shares of Common Stock.













                              -6-

Note 3.  Environmental Matters

     The Company is currently the owner of property located in
Murray, Utah, formerly known as the ASARCO Smelter site, which
contains mining slag previously deposited by ASARCO.  The slag
contains certain heavy metals including lead and arsenic which
may have leached from the slag into the environment.  This and
adjoining properties previously owned by ASARCO have been
proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for listing
on the National Priorities List for cleanup of the slag and
potential groundwater contamination.  Although the Company did
not generate the slag material, under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA"), the current owner of a property may be liable for
cleanup costs.  In such case, the Company would have a claim
against the former owner for its respective share of these costs.
Although to date the Company has not been designated a
Potentially Responsible Party by the EPA with respect to cleanup
of any waste at this site, it recently received a CERCLA 104(e)
information request.  The outcome of this matter is uncertain and
it is not possible at this time to estimate the possible
financial impact on the Company, if any.

     Prior to learning of the potential presence of lead in the
slag from this site, the Company sold some of the slag for use in
road base and railroad fill.  The Company may be liable for
cleanup costs if it is determined that the lead from this slag
poses an environmental hazard.  The Company has not received any
notice of government or private action on this matter.  The
potential cost to the Company, if any, is not ascertainable at
the present time.  The Company's management believes that there
are economically reasonable methods of containing the slag should
this become necessary.



Note 4.  Sale of Stock

     On December 28, 1995, the Company issued 1,650,000 shares of
common stock in a private placement to BCCP I, L.P., a California
limited partnership ("BCCP I"), at $5.50 a share for an aggregate
purchase price of $9,075,000.  It also issued a warrant for an
additional 1,500,000 shares exercisable within a five year period
at $6.25 a share. The sole general partner of BCCP I is Building
and Construction Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited
partnership ("BCCP").  The general partner of BCCP is Richard C.
Blum & Associates, L.P..  As part of the transaction, the Company
agreed to pay an annual $200,000 consultants fee to BCCP and has
reimbursed BCCP I $150,000 of its costs related to completing the
transaction.  As part of the transaction, BCCP appointed a
majority of the Company's Board of Directors.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes
included elsewhere in this report.  Also, the discussion should
be read in conjunction with the audited Financial Statements and
related Notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Change in Management

     Ronald D. Davis was elected as President and Chief Executive
Officer effective July 1st, 1996.  Mr. Davis has over 25 years of
management experience in the concrete and construction
industries.  Prior to joining Monroc, Mr. Davis served as vice
president and general manager of CalMat Corporation's central
California division.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30

     Sales increased 46% from $19,632,071 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1995 ("1995 period") to $28,620,417 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 ("1996 period").  Sales for the
Prestress Division were 105% higher in the 1996 period compared
to the 1995 period because of the higher volume related to
production on the $20 million Snake River Correctional Facility
contract in Ontario, Oregon.  Ready mix concrete sales were up
20% due to a 24% increase in volume offset by lower prices.
Also, improved operating rates at the Company's Kearns, Utah pit
resulted in a 91% increase in sales for the Sand and Gravel
division in the 1996 period.

     For the six month period, operating income decreased from an
income of $928,337 in the 1995 period to a loss of $28,403 in the
1996 period.  Adverse winter weather conditions in the earlier
part of the year affected costs.  Start-up costs and lower
initial labor and material efficiencies on the Snake River
Correctional Facility have resulted in lower operating margins in
the Prestress Division.  Ready mix sales prices were down
approximately 2% in the 1996 period versus the 1995 period.
Also, sand and gravel profits were flat on the increased sales
because of start-up costs at the new Point of the Mountain, Utah
pit and a higher proportion of sales of low margin products.

     General and administrative costs were $2,911,337 in the 1996
period compared to $2,244,206 in the 1995 period.  Part of this
increase was due to an increase in staff to meet the demands of
the Snake River Correctional Facility contract.  Also included in
general and administrative costs in the 1996 period were the
consulting fees to Building and Construction Capital Partners,
L.P. ("BCCP") and other consulting fees related to improvements
underway within the Company.
                              -8-
<PAGE>
     Interest expense decreased to $339,611 in the 1996 period
compared to $696,545 in the 1995 period due to the use of some of
the proceeds from the private sale of common stock in December,
1995 to BCCP to a pay down of debt owed the CIT Group.  Also,
investment of some of the proceeds resulted in increased interest
income. (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below)

     A net loss of $269,349 or 6 cents per share was incurred in
the 1996 period compared to a net earnings of $245,816 or 9 cents
a share in the comparable 1995 period due to higher costs as
discussed above.  There were 1,650,000 more shares outstanding in
the 1996 period versus the 1995 period.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30

     Sales increased 55% from $12,500,024 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1995 to $19,416,157 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  Most of the increased sales resulted from a
160% increase in revenues in the Prestress Division due to
production on the Company's Snake River Correctional Facility
contract.  Ready mix concrete volumes were up 22% in the 1996
period compared to the 1995 period offset by lower prices in most
markets because of a higher proportion of commercial business.

     General and Administrative expenses increased from
$1,133,977 for the 1995 period to $1,472,199 for the 1996 period
due to the addition of support personnel in the Prestress
Division for the Snake River Correctional Facility contract. In
addition, general and administrative expenses were higher in 1996
due to the payment of the consulting fee to BCCP and other
outside professional services.

     Operating income was $1,269,853 for the 1995 period compared
to $888,028 for the 1996 period. In addition to the increase in
General and Administrative costs discussed above, operating
margins were affected by start-up costs and lower labor and
material efficiencies on the Snake River Correctional Facility
contract and by higher operating costs resulting from more
adverse winter conditions during the 1996 period compared to the
1995 period.

     Net interest expense was $162,099 in the 1996 period, or
$191,296 lower than the 1995 period, due to the application of a
portion of the net proceeds from the private placement of common
stock to a pay down of outstanding loans with the CIT Group and
short term investment of the remaining balances (See "Liquidity
and Capital Resources" below).

     Net earnings for the 1996 period were $771,339 or 17 cents a
share versus $991,321 or 32 cents a share for the 1995 period due
to higher costs as discussed above.  There were 1,650,000 more
shares outstanding in the 1996 period compared to the 1995
period.
                              -9-
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has met its need for liquidity principally
through the use of a credit facility provided by the CIT Group
that includes a line of credit for working capital and term
loans.  The Company's liabilities to the CIT Group are secured by
liens on substantially all of the Company's real and personal
property.  In February 1996, the Company signed a new six year
loan agreement with the CIT Group which increased the total
credit available from $11,000,000 to $15,000,000 and reduced the
interest rate from prime plus 2.5% to prime plus 0.75%.

     On December 28, 1995, $3,350,576 from the proceeds of the
sale of Common Stock to BCCP I were used to pay down the CIT
Group term notes to $4,000,000.  Additional proceeds were used to
reduce the notes to $2,000,000 in March, 1996.  Total borrowings
under the line of credit totalled  $3,859,980 on June 30, 1996.
Total availability under the line of credit was $11,140,020 as of
that date.

     As of June 30, 1996, the Company had positive working
capital of $6,248,316 compared to a positive working capital
balance of $9,428,339 at December 31, 1995.  $2,000,000 of cash
was used to reduce the CIT notes in March, 1996.  Cash used in
operations was $1,599,600 for the 1996 period versus cash
generated of $327,510 in the 1995 period.  In addition to the
decrease in profitability in the 1996 period, accounts receivable
increased with the increased revenues discussed above.  Cash used
in investing activities increased to $2,975,118 in the 1996
period from $735,332 in the 1995 period primarily due to
increased capital spending for the installation of plants at the
Point of the Mountain and the purchase of equipment to service
the Snake River Correctional Facility contract discussed above.
Also, cash provided from financing activities was $254,394 for
the 1996 period compared to $629,585 in the 1995 period due to
the $2,000,000 pay down of the CIT term loans as discussed above
offset by higher levels of financing related to the higher
capital investment.

     During the first six months of 1996, the Company acquired
forty six new Mack front discharge ready mix trucks through
operating leases totalling $6,471,824.  These trucks
significantly upgraded the capability of the Company's delivery
fleet.  In addition, the Company installed a sand and gravel
facility and central ready mix batch plant at its Point of the
Mountain , Utah site at a cost of over $2,000,000 to service
customers in the south end of the Salt Lake Valley.  The Company
has also acquired several long haul tractors, flatbed trailers,
front end loaders, hydro cranes and other equipment to upgrade
its equipment efficiency and capability.


                              -10-
<PAGE>

Seasonality

     The Company services the construction industry principally
in areas where construction activity is restricted during the
winter.  As a result, the Company experiences reduced revenues
from December through March and realizes the substantial part of
its revenues during the other months of the year.  The Company
generally incurs losses during the winter months and must have
sufficient working capital to fund operations at a reduced level.

     Financial performance of the Company in any one quarter of
the year should not be considered a reliable indicator of the
anticipated current year results.  The seasonality and
variability of weather conditions as well as the cyclicality of
demand in response to factors such as interest rate changes can
cause significant fluctuations in financial results from quarter
to quarter and from year to year.

Directors of the Company (the "Board"), serve as, and have all
power and authority inherent in the office of Chief Executive
Officer of the Company during his employment and, as such, shall
supervise, control and be responsible for the general management
and operations of the Company and have such other executive
powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the
Board.  The Executive shall also serve as a member of the Board
and its Executive Committee and Compensation Committee, if any,
during his employment.  While sitting on the Compensation
Committee, if any, he may make any presentation concerning his
own compensation but shall not otherwise participate in the
consideration of his own compensation.  The Executive shall
devote his business time and efforts to the business of the
Company.

          4.   Compensation and Other Provisions.

               (a)   Base Salary.  The Company shall pay to the 
Executive a base salary at the rate of $150,000.00 per annum from 
and after the Commencement Date, payable in substantially equal semi-
monthly installments (such amount, as it may be increased from
time to time, hereinafter referred to as the "Base Salary").  The
Base Salary and the Executive's other compensation will be
reviewed by the Board at least annually and may be increased or
maintained as the Board may determine.

               (b)   Signing Bonus.  The Company shall pay to the 
Executive a one-time signing bonus of $50,000, which shall be 
payable in full within 30 days after the Commencement Date.

               (c)   Annual Incentive Bonus.  Beginning with the
calendar year ending December 31, 1997, the Company shall pay the
Executive with respect to each calendar year during his
employment an annual incentive bonus in such amount as the Board
shall determine.  The incentive bonus shall be paid no later than
March 31 following the end of each calendar year.

               (d)   Participation in Benefit Plans.  The 
Executive shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit 
plans and arrangements now in effect or which may hereafter be 
established which are generally applicable to other senior executive 
officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or divisions, 
including without limitation, the Company's Employee Stock Ownership 
Plan ("ESOP"), all life, group insurance and medical care plans and
all disability, retirement and other employee benefit plans of
the Company, so long as any such plan or arrangement remains
generally applicable to other senior executives of the Company or
any of its divisions or subsidiaries.  The Company shall purchase
and, during the term of this Agreement, pay the premiums with
respect to a one-million dollar term life insurance policy on the
life of the Executive, which policy shall designate the
Executive's wife as the beneficiary of the policy.

               (e)   Vacation, Expenses, etc.  The Executive shall 
be entitled to the same vacation benefits as are generally available
to other senior executives of the Company.  He shall be
reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred by him in the
discharge of his duties, including but not limited to expenses
for entertainment and travel.  The Executive shall account to the
Company for all such expenses.

               (f)   Other Benefits.  The Executive shall be 
entitled to receive the following non-salary benefits including, 
an automobile, a country club membership, and such other benefits 
as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.  In the
event any expenses provided under this subparagraph shall not be
deductible to the Company under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as the same shall hereinafter be amended, then the Company
shall pay to the Executive additional compensation equal to the
expense thereof and the Executive shall pay such expenses
directly.  All such additional compensation to the Executive
shall be subject to applicable withholding taxes.

               (g)   Stock Options.  The Company shall grant to 
the Executive stock options ("Options") to purchase an aggregate 
of 200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the
Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").  The Options shall
be granted as of the Commencement Date and shall expire on July
1, 2001; provided, however, the Options shall terminate eighty-
nine (89) days after the Executive's employment has been
terminated.  On each anniversary of this Agreement twenty percent
(20%) of the Options shall vest and become exercisable at the
prices indicated below, so that all of the Options will become
exercisable over a period of four years:

       July 1, 1996 - 40,000 shares at a price of $5.00 per share
       July 1, 1997 - 40,000 shares at a price of $5.75 per share
       July 1, 1998 - 40,000 shares at a price of $6.60 per share
       July 1, 1999 - 40,000 shares at a price of $7.60 per share
       July 1, 2000 - 40,000 shares at a price of $8.75 per share

Provided, however, in the event of a "change in control" of the
Company, as defined in the Plan, all of the outstanding Options
shall vest and become immediately exercisable, and the exercise
price for the previously unvested Options shall be the exercise
price of the most recently vested Options (for example, if the
Company is sold during Year 2, the 120,000 unvested Options shall
become immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $5.75 per
share); further provided, however, if the Executive elects to
have the Options qualify as incentive stock options under Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company will make such
changes in the terms and provisions of the Options, including the
exercise prices thereof, as may be necessary in order for the
Options to qualify as incentive stock options.

               (h)   Moving and Housing Allowance.  The Company 
shall pay the reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in moving 
his residence from Keene, California to Salt Lake City, Utah.  In
addition, for a period of up to ninety days (90) from and after
the date of this Agreement, the Company will pay or reimburse the
Executive for the payment of: (i) the weekly round-trip airfare
incurred by the Executive in traveling between Salt Lake City,
Utah and Bakersfield, California; and (ii) the sums expended by
the Executive for renting a residence in Salt Lake City, Utah.

          5.   Termination.  The Executive's employment hereunder
shall terminate as a result of any of the following events:

               (a)   Optional Termination by Company.  The Company 
may terminate the Executive's Employment at any time after the third
anniversary of this Agreement by giving the Executive one-hundred
eighty (180) days' prior written notice.

               (b)   Death.  The death of the Executive;

               (c)   Disability.  The Board may terminate the 
Executive's employment in the event the Executive shall have been 
unable to substantially perform his duties hereunder by reason of 
illness, accident or other physical or mental disability for a 
continuous period of at least six months or an aggregate of nine 
months during any continuous twelve month period;

               (d)   Cause.  The Board may terminate the 
Executive's employment for "cause" at any time upon written notice 
to the Executive stating the facts constituting such "cause".  For
purposes of this section, the term "cause" shall mean:

                    (1)  Conviction for commission of a felony by 
the Executive; or

                    (2)  Gross negligence or intentional or 
willful misconduct by the Executive in the performance of his duties 
as determined in good faith by the Board.

               (e)   Termination by Executive.  The Executive may 
terminate his employment at any time after the third anniversary of 
this Agreement by giving the Company one-hundred eighty (180) days'
prior written notice or such lesser notice as the Board shall
approve.

          6.        Representations and Warranties.

               (a)   The Executive represents and warrants to the 
Company that the Executive is under no contractual or other restriction
or obligation which would prevent the performance of his duties
hereunder, or interfere with the rights of the Company hereunder.

               (b)   The Company represents and warrants to the 
Executive that (i) it has all requisite power and authority to 
execute, deliver and perform this Agreement; (ii) all necessary 
corporate proceedings of the Company have been duly taken to 
authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement; 
and (iii) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed, and 
delivered by the Company, is the legal, valid and binding obligation 
of the Company, and is enforceable as to the Company in accordance with
its terms.

          7.   Survival.  The covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall 
survive the Executive's termination of employment.

          8.   Amendment.  This Agreement sets forth the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof, supersedes all existing agreements between them
concerning such subject matter, and may be amended only by a
written instrument duly executed by each party.

          9.   Notice.  Any notice or other communication required 
or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivered
against receipt to the party to whom it is to be given at the
address of such party as set forth in the preamble to this
Agreement (or to such other address as the party shall have
furnished in writing in accordance with the provisions of this
Section).  Notice to the estate of the Executive shall be
sufficient if addressed to the Executive as provided in this
Section.  Any notice or other communication given by certified
mail shall be deemed given at the time of certification thereof,
except for notice changing a party's address, which shall be
deemed given at the time of receipt thereof.

          10.   Waiver.  Any waiver by either party of a breach of 
any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed
to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any
breach of any other provision of this Agreement.  The failure of
a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this
Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a
waiver or deprive that party the right thereafter to insist upon
strict adherence to that term or any other term of this
Agreement.  Any waiver must be in writing.

          11.  Binding Effect.  The provisions of this Agreement 
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Executive 
and his heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding 
upon and inure to the benefit of each of the Company, its successors 
and assigns.

          12.   Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are solely
for convenience of reference and shall be given no effect in the
construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

          13.   Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by 
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah,
without giving effect to rules governing conflicts of law.

          14.   Invalidity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of 
any term of this Agreement shall not invalidity, make unenforceable
or otherwise effect any other term of this Agreement which shall
remain in full force and effect.


          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this
Agreement as of the date first hereinabove written.
