Item 5 - Other Events and Regulation FD  Disclosure.

(i) On March 16, 2004,  the Company  filed a Form 12b-25,  Notification  of Late
Filing (the  "Notification"),  with  respect to the filing of its report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. A copy of the Form 12b-25 was
attached as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K with a filing
date of March 23, 2004.

Subsequent to the filing of the Notification,  the Company has continued work on
its  consolidated  financial  statements  for the year ended  December 31, 2003.
However,  the Company has  determined  that it will not be able to file the Form
10-K within the 15-day extension  period provided under Rule 12b-25.  Currently,
the Company does not anticipate that it will be able to file its Form 10-K prior
to April 9, 2004.

(ii) George M. Wise,  who has served as Chief  Financial  Officer since November
2002 has agreed to continue his service with the Company until completion of the
10-K filing.  In a Current  Report on Form 8-K filed on March 10,  2004,  it was
reported that Mr. Wise was expected to leave the Company at the end of March.


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 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  anticipated   filing  dates  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  and are  subject to known and unknown  risks,  uncertainties  and other
factors  contemplated by the  forward-looking  statements  including the timing,
completion and results of the Company's reviews and audits. 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.
