<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>SAN ANTONIO&#150;August 28, 2013&#150;</B>U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (<U>NASDAQ</U>: <U>GROW</U>), a boutique registered investment advisory firm
specializing in natural resources and emerging markets, today reported a net loss of $194,212, or (0.01) cent per share, on revenues of $18.7 million for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2013. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, the
company had a net loss of $450,164, or (0.02) cents per share, on operating revenues of $3.7 million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the fiscal year 2012, U.S. Global recorded net
income of $1.5 million, or 10 cents per share, on operating revenues of $24.0 million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During fiscal 2013, average assets under management were $1.55
billion, compared to $2.06 billion in fiscal 2012. Assets under management at period end stood at $1.16 billion. As of June&nbsp;30, 2012, assets under management were $1.62 billion. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;This year has been extremely challenging for gold equities, emerging markets and long-term bonds, which have negatively impacted our revenues. Our
reflexive cost structure cannot adapt as swiftly as the 35 percent decline in gold equities, 8 percent decline in emerging markets and 3 percent decline in 10-year bonds that we saw in the first half of 2013,&#148; says Frank Holmes, CEO of U.S.
Global Investors, Inc. &#147;During the same time period, there was no increase in yields on short-term Treasuries, creating a financial drain to support the yield of the money market funds. Therefore, we made the strategic decision to get out of
the money market fund business, streamline costs and reposition our products and services to focus on our core competencies and passion.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Over
the longer term, we believe these are very positive changes, even though the cost to restructure products and services will be in excess of $600,000. After these changes are implemented, they should lower fixed costs and improve cash flow, with a
potential annual cost savings of approximately $1.2 million going forward,&#148; says Holmes. </P>

 </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">August 28, 2013 </P> <p STYLE="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt ; font-size:8pt">&nbsp;</P>
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Repositioning Fund Offerings to Focus on Core Competencies </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With respect to the fund offerings, the funds&#146; board approved converting the U.S. Government Securities Savings Fund from a money market fund into an
ultra-short U.S. government bond fund (pending shareholder approval) and merging the Tax Free Fund into the Near-Term Tax Free Fund. In addition, the funds&#146; board approved the liquidation of the U.S. Treasury Securities Cash Fund. The company
intends to provide investors with an alternative money market fund offered by a third party. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;In June, following the Federal Reserve&#146;s
announcement that it may reduce its monetary easing, emerging markets, gold and resources sold off. From the beginning of 2013 through August&nbsp;27, we saw the yield on the 30-year Treasury rise about 25 percent from 2.95 percent to 3.69 percent.
The yield on a 30-year mortgage increased 30 percent over the same time, from 3.40 percent to 4.45 percent,&#148; says Holmes. &#147;Yet money market rates stayed near zero, essentially unchanged, remaining unattractive to savers and creating a
financial burden to continue to support money market funds in the anticipation that rates will rise.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company expects to continue streamlining
and liquidating small funds that are unprofitable or merging them with other funds for economies of scale. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Unless you have economies of scale, the
costs of opening, maintaining and closing open-end funds have become exceedingly expensive,&#148; says Holmes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the company filed to enter
the exchange-traded fund business, with the intention of launching enhanced index ETFs that use dynamic factor models. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;This filing allows the
company to enter a relatively new and growing market and offer products that are in high demand. ETFs have been a disruptive technology to the mutual fund industry, especially for resources and emerging markets funds. Over the past five years,
we&#146;ve seen a massive shift into ETFs, with assets growing 151 percent, compared to mutual fund assets, which have increased only 36 percent,&#148; says Holmes. &#147;We believe our extensive expertise in investing in gold and resources brings
an uncommon perspective to the ETF platform.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Transfer Agency to be Outsourced </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company recommended and, on August&nbsp;23, 2013, the board of trustees of U.S. Global Investors Funds approved that the transfer agency services be
outsourced to a third party via a conversion that is projected to be complete by December 2013. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We expect the transition to be relatively seamless
to the funds&#146; shareholders as the transfer agency platform will not change. Moreover, our fund investors will be able to benefit from economies of scale, as the ongoing regulatory and compliance costs are onerous,&#148; says Holmes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Share Repurchase Program and Continued Strong Cash Position </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of June&nbsp;30, 2013, the company continued repurchasing outstanding stock, totaling 55,052 class A shares using cash of $173,608. The company is using an
algorithm to purchase shares on down days, following the rules and regulations that restrict the amounts and times when shares can be purchased on any one day, such as at the opening of the day and in the last half-hour of trading. The share
repurchase plan expires at the end of the calendar year 2013 but may be suspended or discontinued at any time. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;In addition to buying back GROW shares, we continue to look for future accretive acquisition and
investment opportunities to strengthen our business, focusing on improving our return on capital,&#148; says Holmes. &#147;We&#146;re pleased with the partnership that we&#146;ve made with Toronto-based Galileo Global Equity Advisors, as its
flagship fund continues to be attractive to investors because of its 5-star rating from Morningstar and monthly dividends.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">U.S. Global&#146;s
strong cash position as a percentage of the capital structure provides adequate liquidity, buffers the company from market volatility and allows the company to pursue potential investment opportunities. The company had net working capital of
approximately $23.3 million at the end of fiscal year 2013. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $18.1 million and marketable securities totaled $13.8 million as of June&nbsp;30, 2013. The company has had no long-term debt since 2004 and owns its
headquarters building. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>U.S. Global Continues GROW Dividends During Fourth Calendar Quarter of 2013 </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company will continue its payment of monthly dividends in the fourth calendar quarter of 2013. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company&#146;s board of directors approved payment of the $0.005 per share per month dividend beginning in October 2013 and continuing through December
2013. The record dates are October&nbsp;7,&nbsp;November&nbsp;11 and December&nbsp;9, and the payment dates will be October&nbsp;22,&nbsp;November&nbsp;25 and December&nbsp;23. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the end of this period, the company will have paid monthly dividends for more than six years. At the July&nbsp;30, 2013, closing price of $2.11, the $0.005
monthly dividend equals a 2.8 percent yield on an annualized basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The continuation of future cash dividends will be determined by U.S. Global&#146;s
board of directors, at its sole discretion, after review of the company&#146;s financial performance and other factors, and is dependent on earnings, operations, capital requirements, general financial condition of the company and general business
conditions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Market Commentary </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Commodities
remain one of the most unappreciated areas of the market today, with fund managers holding an extremely underweight position that hasn&#146;t been seen since late 2008,&#148; says Holmes. &#147;However, data suggests that as expectations of an
economic recovery grow, rates will rise and in this environment, commodities and energy and materials stocks have historically rallied.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As outlined
in U.S. Global&#146;s <U>Special Commodities Report</U>, research from William O&#146;Neil&nbsp;&amp; Co. has found that six months prior to the initiation of rate increases, as well as during the period of rate increases, energy and materials
stocks historically have been among the best performers compared to individual U.S. sectors and the broader market indices. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Investors&#146; current underweight in commodities bears a striking resemblance to late 2008 and early
2009, which was shortly before commodities and commodities stocks experienced a dramatic recovery,&#148; says Holmes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the first half of the year,
investors also sold out of financial gold, as $18 billion left the SPDR Gold Shares ETF. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Gold moved from the weak hands of ETF investors to the
strong hands of buyers who prefer the physical metal,&#148; says Holmes. &#147;All over the world we saw a record level of gold coins and bars get scooped up.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On one day alone in April, 63,500 ounces were purchased from the U.S. Mint. At the same time, in Bangkok, Thailand, crowds of buyers were filling stores,
eagerly waiting in multiple lines to purchase gold jewelry and coins. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The most impressive data came from China. Over the first six months of the year,
gold imports into China totaled 1,098 metric tons, compared to 1,139 tons for 2012. In fact, China&#146;s gold demand was so significant that the physical gold delivered on the Shanghai Gold Exchange through June totaled almost all of the official
gold reserves in China and about half of the world&#146;s gold production for the year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;I believe millions of people across Asia and the Middle
East will continue to express their love for the precious metal through the giving of gold coins and jewelry for momentous occasions,&#148; says Holmes. &#147;We look forward to the reigniting of gold&#146;s Love Trade as the yellow metal enters its
historical period of seasonal strength with Ramadan in July, followed by the Indian Festival of Lights, wedding season, Christmas and Chinese New Year. We have often published on the impact of this powerful seasonal pattern on
<U>www.usfunds.com</U>.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When such a precipitous plummet happens, fear sometimes overrides the fundamental reasons to own gold. Gold is a portfolio
diversifier and a store of value. It is a finite resource with increasing global demand. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;I co-authored a book on gold five years ago based on a
lifetime of experience with the metal. My advice hasn&#146;t changed: When it comes to gold, moderation is key. Don&#146;t try to get rich with the metal because the corresponding risk is simply too high,&#148; says Holmes.&#148; &#147;Limit your
exposure to gold as an asset class to 10 percent of your portfolio&#151;no more than 5 percent in bullion and 5 percent in equities. Rebalance each year to keep that level of exposure and use volatility to your advantage.&#148; </P>
