(c) Exhibits

             Exhibit 99.1 *  Form  12b-25,  Notification  of  Late Filing, dated
             August 9, 2004.


             * Filed herewith


As provided by the safe harbor provisions of the Private  Securities  Litigation
Reform  Act  of  1995,  Financial  Industries   Corporation  cautions  that  the
statements in this Form 8-K,  including but not limited to,  statements found in
Item 7 - "Financial  Statements  and Exhibits"  relating to matters that are not
historical  factual  information are  forward-looking  statements that represent
management's  belief and assumptions based on currently  available  information.
The  information  contained in this report  relating to trends in the  Company's
operations and financial  results and the  contingencies  and  uncertainties  to
which the Company may be subject,  as well as other  statements  including words
such as "anticipate,"  "believe," "plan,"  "estimate,"  "expect,"  "intend," and
other  similar  expressions  constitute  forward-looking  statements  under  the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are made based
upon  management's  current  expectations  and beliefs  concerning the financial
results,  economic  conditions  and are  subject  to known  and  unknown  risks,
uncertainties and other factors contemplated by the forward-looking  statements.
Should  one or more of  these  risks or  uncertainties  materialize,  or  should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect,  actual results may vary materially from
those indicated.  Investors  should not place undue reliance on  forward-looking
statements.  Each  forward-looking  statement  speaks only as of the date of the
particular  statement,  and the Company  undertakes  no  obligation  to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements.  There can be no assurance that
other factors not currently  anticipated by management  will not also materially
and adversely affect the Company.
