PARK CITY GROUP, INC.

Park City, Utah 84098
The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Park City Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for use at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on October 20, 2011 at 9:00 a.m., local time, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, at The Company’s corporate offices located at 3160 Pinebrook Road, Park City, Utah, 84098. These proxy solicitation materials were mailed on or about September 23, 2011, to all stockholders entitled to vote at our Annual Meeting.
Voting
The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at our Annual Meeting are summarized in the accompanying notice and are described in more detail in this Proxy Statement. On September 20, 2011, the Record Date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, we had outstanding 11,657,901 shares of our Common Stock, 672,670 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”), and 411,927 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”), each of which are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Series A
Preferred and Series B Preferred is convertible into 3.33 and 2.5 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock, and each holder of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred is entitled to 3.33 and 2.5 votes for each share of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred held by such stockholder on September 20, 2011. As of the Record Date, the outstanding shares represented 14,927,710 votes, consisting of 11,657,901 attributable to Common Stock, 2,239,991 attributable to Series A Preferred and 1,029,818 attributable to Series B Preferred.
Quorum
In order for any business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting, the holders of more than 50% of the shares entitled to vote must be represented at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by properly executed proxy. If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, the stockholders who are present may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present. The time and place of the adjourned Annual Meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken, and no other notice will be given. An adjournment will have no effect on the business that may be conducted at the Annual Meeting.
Required Vote
Stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors. For Proposal 1, the seven nominees who receive the greatest number of votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote will be elected. For Proposal 2, the affirmative vote of holders representing a majority of the voting shares represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote will be required for approval of such proposal, as well as for any other matters that are proposed at the Annual Meeting.
Abstentions and Broker Non Votes
Abstentions will be counted as shares that are present for purposes of determining a quorum. For Proposal 1, abstentions are excluded entirely from the vote and do not have any effect on the outcome. For the approval of Proposal 2, and any other proposed matters, abstentions will not be counted as votes cast for or against such proposals.
If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon. If you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions regarding such matters, your proxy will be deemed a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes are included in the determination of the number of shares represented at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. For Proposal 1, broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the election. For the approval of Proposal 2, broker
non-votes will not be counted as votes cast for or against such proposal. For the approval of any other proposed matter, broker non-votes have the practical effect of a vote against such proposal. Whether brokers have discretion to vote on other proposals and, if they do not, the effects of broker non-votes on such other proposals will depend on the nature of such other proposals.
Proxies
If the enclosed form of proxy is properly signed and returned, the shares represented thereby will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions specified thereon. If you sign and return your proxy without specifying how the shares represented thereby are to be voted, the proxy will be voted (i) FOR the election of the directors proposed by our Board, (ii) FOR ratification of the appointment of the independent auditors for fiscal year 2012, and (iii) at the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
You may revoke or change your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by filing with our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices at 3160 Pinebrook Road, Park City, Utah, 84098, a notice of revocation or another signed proxy with a later date. You may also revoke your proxy by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting alone will not revoke your proxy. If you are a stockholder whose shares are not registered in your own name, you will need additional documentation from your broker or record holder to vote personally at the Annual Meeting.
Solicitation
We will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy and any additional solicitation materials furnished to the stockholders. Copies of any solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward this solicitation material to such beneficial owners. In addition, we may reimburse such persons for their costs in forwarding the solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. The original solicitation of proxies by mail
may be supplemented by a solicitation by telephone, facsimile or other means by our directors, officers or employees. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services. Except as described above, we do not presently intend to solicit proxies other than by mail and telephone.
MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT ANNUAL MEETING
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
General
The Company’s Board of Directors currently consists of seven directors, each of whom is nominated to be elected at the Annual Meeting. Each of the nominees has confirmed that he will be able and willing to serve as a director if elected. If any of the nominees become unable or unwilling to serve, your proxy will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee recommended by the current Board of Directors. Upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has nominated for election as directors at our Annual Meeting Randall K. Fields, Robert W. Allen, Peter T. Brennan, C. Manly Molpus, Robert P. Hermanns, James R. Gillis and Robert S.
Krause.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of not less than one member, and that upon any change in the number of members, any newly created directorships or eliminated directorships shall be apportioned by the remaining members of the Board of Directors or by stockholders.
Required Vote and Recommendation
The election of directors requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred. The seven nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Accordingly, under Nevada law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, abstentions and broker non-votes will not have any effect on the election of a particular director. Unless otherwise instructed or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the election of
the nominees.
The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the election of Messrs. Fields, Allen, Brennan, Molpus, Hermanns, Gillis and Krause.
PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF
HJ & ASSOCIATES, LLC TO SERVE AS OUR
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR
Upon recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors appointed HJ & Associates, LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year and hereby recommends that the stockholders ratify such appointment.
The Board of Directors may terminate the appointment of HJ & Associates, LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm without the approval of the Company’s stockholders whenever the Board of Directors deems such termination necessary or appropriate.
Representatives of HJ & Associates, LLC will be present at the Annual Meeting or available by telephone and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
Required Vote and Recommendation
Ratification of the selection of HJ & Associates, LLC as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Under Nevada law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, an abstention will have the same legal effect as a vote against the ratification of HJ & Associates, LLC, and each broker non-vote will reduce the absolute number, but not the percentage, of affirmative votes necessary for approval of the ratification. Unless otherwise instructed
on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the ratification of HJ & Associates, LLC as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.
The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the ratification of the selection of HJ & Associates, LLC as Park City Group’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that Mr. Hermanns’ experience as the former President and Chief Executive Officer of one of the leading suppliers to independent retail supermarkets, as well as his extensive senior executive experience with leading retail food and drug retailers, contributes to the Board of Directors’
understanding of the markets served by the Company, including the Board of Directors’ perspective on the strategic interests of potential clients, and the viability of various commercial strategies.

In July 2010, the Company issued a total of 10,000, 349,626, and 52,301 shares of its Series B Preferred to Julie Fields, Riverview Financial Corp (“Riverview”), and Robert Allen, respectively (collectively, the “Related Parties”), in consideration for the termination of certain notes issued to the Related Parties by the Company in the amounts set forth below (the “Series B Exchange”), which amounts represent principal (the “Related Party Notes”) due and payable under the Related Party Notes. Ms. Fields is the spouse of Randy Fields, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Riverview Financial Corp. is an
entity controlled by Mr. Fields. Robert Allen is a director of the Company.
The Related Party Notes were originally issued in September 2008, in the case of the Related Party Notes issued to Mr. Allen and Riverview Financial Corp., and December 2008 in the case of the Related Party Note issued to Ms. Fields, and were issued principally to finance a portion of the purchase price of shares of Series E Preferred Stock of Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc. (“Prescient”) purchased by the Company. The purchase transaction was the first step in a plan to acquire Prescient in a merger transaction consummated in January 2009. In addition, the Related Party Note issued to Riverview Financial Corp. partially reflected certain fees owed
to Riverview by the Company in the amount of $35,124 for guaranteeing amounts owed by the Company under a line of credit with the Bank, and $5,263 representing certain late fees owed Riverview by the Company resulting from the failure by the Company to pay certain amounts to Riverview under the terms of a Services Agreement between the Company and Riverview, dated July 1, 2005. The amounts under the Related Party Notes that were terminated in consideration for the issuance of the Series B Preferred, and the number of shares of Series B Preferred issued in connection with the Series B Exchange, is set forth below:

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 3 (Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership), 4 (Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities) and 5 (Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities). Directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s
Common Stock are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, each of our directors failed to report the issuance of shares to them in consideration for the payment of director fees owed to them during such fiscal year, and one of our directors, Peter Brennan, failed to file a Form 3 upon appointment to our Board of Directors. In addition, we had one late filing for Mr. Fields relating to the acquisition of shares of Series A Preferred.
