THE COMPANY
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1986 and is the
successor to a Utah corporation which was incorporated in 1920. The Company
was organized in 1986 to purchase the assets of its predecessor corporation
through a leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
The Company produces and sells to the construction industry,
ready-mix concrete, prestressed and precast concrete building components, sand
and gravel products, and accessories for the concrete trade. The Company owns
18 plants in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. Its products are sold in Utah, Idaho,
Wyoming and adjoining states, including Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Montana and
New Mexico and, to a lesser extent, Washington, Oregon and California.
The Company's Wyoming operations, purchased in 1994, are also
equipped to do certain construction projects, such as irrigation ditch lining,
road grading and excavation, and to rent equipment for such projects. In
addition, the Company sells concrete accessories for use in the finishing of
concrete primarily through its Idaho and Wyoming operations. The revenues
generated by the foregoing construction activities in connection with the
Company's Wyoming operations and the sale of concrete accessories account for
only a small percentage of the Company's total revenues.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Shares are being offered for the respective accounts of the
Selling Shareholders. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale
of any Shares by the Selling Shareholders. The Company will receive an amount
equal to the exercise prices of any options which are exercised by the Selling
Shareholders.
The Selling Shareholders have advised the Company that all or a
portion of the Shares offered hereby may be offered for sale, from time to
time, in the NASDAQ National Market System, or otherwise, at prices and terms
then available in brokers' transactions, negotiated transactions or otherwise.
There is no assurance that any of the Selling Shareholders will sell any or
all of the Shares offered by them.
In connection with the sale of Shares offered hereby, the Selling
Shareholders and any dealers that participate with the Selling Shareholders in
the distribution of such Shares may be deemed to be underwriters and any
commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of Common Shares
positioned by them might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
The following summary of the terms and provisions of the Company's
Common Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the pertinent sections of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and its By-laws.
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, $.01 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.01 par
value. At June 30, 1997, 4,467,000 shares of Common Stock were issued and
outstanding and 600,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon
the exercise of options pursuant to the Plan. No shares of Preferred Stock
were outstanding on such date.
Common Stock
Subject to the rights and preferences of any shares of Preferred
Stock which may be issued by the Company, as described below, the holders of
shares of Common Stock of the Company are entitled to share equally on a per
share basis in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out
of funds legally available therefor. There are presently no plans to pay
dividends with respect to the shares of Common Stock. Upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Company, after payment of creditors and the
holders of any senior securities of the Company, the assets of the Company
will be divided pro rata on a per share basis among the holders of the shares
of Common Stock. There are no conversion or redemption privileges with
respect to the Common Stock.
Holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company are entitled to
cast one vote for each share held at all stockholders' meetings for all
purposes, including the election of directors. The Common Stock does not have
cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the
Common Stock can elect 100% of the Directors of the Company if they choose to
do so. The By-laws of the Company require that only a majority of the issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company need be represented to
constitute a quorum and to transact business at a stockholders' meeting.
Preferred Stock
The Company's authorized shares of Preferred Stock can be issued
with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time
to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is
empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with
dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could
adversely affect the voting power or other rights of holders of the Company's
Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could be
utilized, under certain circumstance, as a method of discouraging, delaying or
preventing a change in control of the Company. The Company has no present
intention to issue any shares of its Preferred Stock.
Dividends
For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that earnings, if
any, which may be generated from the operations of the Company, will be used
to finance the growth of the Company and that cash dividends will not be paid
to stockholders.

INDEMNIFICATION
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that all
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company shall be entitled to
be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
LEGAL OPINIONS
The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed
upon for the Company by Van Cott, Bagley, Cornwall & McCarthy, Salt Lake City,
Utah.

The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that all

be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
Certificate of Incorporation also provides as follows:
II-1
<PAGE>
A director, or former director, shall not be liable to the
corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that this
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law; (iii) under section 174 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, pertaining to the
liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or
unlawful stock purchase or redemption; or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL")
authorizes the indemnification of directors and officers against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interest of the corporation, and in the case of actions by or in the
right of the corporation, if the officer or director acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the corporation, unless, despite the adjudication of liability, a
court otherwise determines. Indemnification also is authorized with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding where, in addition to the above, the
officer or director has no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
The above discussion of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
and Section 145 of the DGCL is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety
by the full text of each of the foregoing.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) Rule 415 Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information
in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) Subsequent Exchange Act Filings Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(c) Indemnification Undertakings.
Reference is made to the provisions of the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation and the Delaware General Corporation Law, described in Item 6
hereof, which provide for certain rights of indemnification for officers and
directors of the Registrant.
II-3
<PAGE>
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Monroc, Inc. 1996 Stock Option Plan
Gentlemen:
In our capacity as special counsel to Monroc, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), you have requested our opinion in connection with
the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), with respect to the issuance of up to 600,000 shares of Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Shares") under the Company's
1996 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Plan").
In connection with the preparation of this opinion letter, and as
the basis for the opinion set forth below, we have made such investigations of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as we have deemed
relevant and necessary, and we have examined such documents and records as we
have deemed relevant and necessary.
