U.S. Global Investors, Inc. By:/s/ Susan B. McGee ------------------------ Susan B. McGee President/General Counsel Dated: November 15, 2004 EX-99 2 exh99a.txt PRESS RELEASE Contact: Rolf Gatlin Public/Media Relations 210.308.1268 rmgatlin@usfunds.com Valerie Kimball Investor Relations 888.917.5109 vkimball@epochfinancial.com For Immediate Release U.S. Global Investors Reports Positive Net Income of $0.03 Per Share For First Quarter ************************************************************************ SAN ANTONIO -November 15, 2004 - U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (NASDAQ: GROW), a registered investment advisory firm, announced it posted net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, of approximately $240,000, or $0.03 income per share, unaudited, compared to net income of approximately $688,000, or $0.09 income per share, unaudited, for the comparable period last year. Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 were approximately $2.96 million, or 13 percent higher than the revenues of approximately $2.63 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Although the Company's earnings per share decreased quarter-over-quarter, its investment management services were more robust this quarter as shown by a $733,000, or 45%, increase in investment advisory fees and a $122,000, or 21%, increase in transfer agent fees, for a total increase of $855,000, or 39% from those revenue streams. The increased investment advisory fees were a result of a 27 percent increase in the average assets under management for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 over the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Increased transfer agent fees were primarily a result of a 7 percent increase in shareholder accounts over the same period. Fluctuations in the Company's investments were an offsetting factor to its favorable trend in operations. This decrease in investment income was due to a decrease in unrealized gains on trading securities for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 versus the same quarter in 2003. "Although the Company's investments have declined over the past quarter, we continue to see increases in management fees due to substantial growth in assets in the Company's gold, natural resource and foreign equity mutual funds," says Frank Holmes, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Global Investors. "The current market conditions tend to benefit the alternative asset classes in which we focus." Expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 were approximately $685,000 higher than the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Consistent with increased fund assets and strong fund performance, certain sub-advisory fees, platform distribution costs, and performance-driven compensation costs contributed to the increases in expenses. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities have increased from September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2004 by approximately $3.0 million, or 90.6 percent, to a total of $6.2 million, or 62.6 percent of total assets.
