<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>SAN ANTONIO&#150;May 12, 2014&#150;</B>U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (<U>NASDAQ</U>: <U>GROW</U>), a boutique registered investment advisory firm
specializing in natural resources, emerging markets, domestic equities and municipal bonds, recorded a net loss of $27,979, or $0.00 per share, on operating revenues of $2.74 million for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Net income for the same quarter of the previous year was $41,167, or $0.00 per share, on operating revenues of $4.47 million. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Average assets under management were $1 billion for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2014, compared to an average of $1.6 billion for the same quarter a year
ago. Total assets under management were $1 billion as of March&nbsp;31, 2014, versus $1.5 billion under management as of March&nbsp;31, 2013. The decline in assets was predominately in the natural resources and emerging markets funds. &#147;Those
market sectors have seen a challenging three-year decline which has negatively affected GROW&#146;s revenues,&#148; says Frank Holmes, U.S. Global Investors CEO. Additionally, investor sentiment has been negative toward emerging markets, especially
China. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;There have been starts and stops in the markets, but no sustained positive global trend,&#148; says Holmes. Global real GDP growth peaked in
2010 at 5.2 percent, then slowed for the next three years, to 3 percent. Global growth in 2014 is likely to accelerate, for the first time in four years, to 3.5 percent, according to ISI. Global industrial production is also pointing to global
growth acceleration. &#147;Historically, our funds&#146; performance has been highly correlated with global growth trends, which appear to be turning up.&#148; says Holmes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This has been a transitional fiscal year for the company as it accomplished strategic objectives in simplifying its operations and product lineup. Those
changes required expensive and time- consuming legal and regulatory processes. &#147;The costs of change are mostly behind us and operating expenses decreased significantly in the third quarter due to the company&#146;s ongoing efforts to streamline
costs and operations,&#148; says Holmes. &#147;Our organization is lean and nimble, our product line is streamlined and our focus is on our core competency of money management.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company has made significant strides in developing new exchange-traded fund (ETF) products that the company is planning to launch in 2014. ETFs have seen
tremendous growth in assets and market share as more investors and their financial advisors turn to this investment vehicle. &#147;We are excited about competing in this high demand space with innovative and dynamic ETF products,&#148; said Holmes.

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Additional Investment in Galileo Global Equity Advisors </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;17, Toronto-based Galileo Global Equity Advisors, of which U.S. Global owns 50 percent, agreed to sell an additional 15 percent of the company.
U.S. Global plans to proceed with the purchase in the fourth fiscal quarter. After this additional purchase, U.S Global will own 65 percent of the outstanding shares of Galileo. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;I&#146;m pleased for U.S. Global to be in partnership with a growing and high-performing Canadian asset manager,&#148; says Holmes. &#147;Galileo&#146;s
flagship fund continues to be highly rated by Morningstar for its long-term track record of solid performance and managed risk.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Share Repurchase
Program, Continued Strong Balance Sheet, and Monthly Dividends </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company continued repurchasing outstanding stock in the third fiscal quarter
totaling 35,065 class A shares using cash of $120,610. 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 given day, such as
at the opening of the day and in the last half-hour of trading. The share repurchase plan is set to expire at the end of calendar year 2014 but may be suspended or discontinued at any time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of March&nbsp;31, 2014, the company had net working capital of approximately $24.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.1 million and marketable
securities totaled $24.9 million as of the end of the quarter. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The change in cash and cash equivalents compared to June&nbsp;30, 2013, was due to the
company&#146;s investment in the U.S. Government Securities Ultra-Short Bond Fund. This is the fund that converted in December from a money market fund to an ultra-short bond fund. Therefore, on the balance sheet, the amount invested in this fund in
December 2013, approximately $14 million, was transferred from cash and cash equivalents to trading securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the company has had no
long-term debt since 2004 and owns its headquarters building. The company has also continued to pay monthly dividends for more than six years. </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">During 2013, commodities experienced a turbulent year, with gold posting its first annual decline since 2000 and gold equities declining
for a third year in a row, as measured by the Philadelphia Gold&nbsp;&amp; Silver Index (XAU). &#147;There were only three times in three decades that gold stocks had a losing streak of three years,&#148; says Holmes. Additionally, in 2013 investors
shifted out of the energy sector and emerging markets as they underperformed the U.S. market. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the spectacularly performing domestic equities market of
2013, the energy sector lacked some of the outstanding performance seen in other sectors, but recently energy has turned up and outperformed the S&amp;P 500 Index, catching the attention of the market again. This bodes well for the company&#146;s
Global Resources Fund (PSPFX/PIPFX). </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">One reason the energy sector is climbing back to the top could be due to the broader market rotation taking

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectus. The expense ratio after waivers is a voluntary limit on total fund
operating expenses (exclusive of any acquired fund fees and expenses, performance fees, taxes, brokerage commissions and interest) that U.S. Global Investors, Inc. can modify or terminate at any time, which may lower a fund&#146;s yield or return.
Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Results reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The
principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance does not include the effect of any direct fees described in the fund&#146;s
prospectus (e.g., short-term trading fees of 0.05%) which, if applicable, would lower your total returns. Performance quoted for periods of one year or less is cumulative and not annualized. Obtain performance data current to the most recent
month-end at www.usfunds.com or 1-800-US-FUNDS. </I></P>

public disclosure, as well as economic and political risk. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Galileo Mutual Funds are not offered for sale in the United States. They are represented
