                                    EXHIBIT 1

     U.S.  (United  Services)  Global   Investors,   Inc.  (the  "Company")  has
reclassified  its  existing  Class A Common  Stock as Class C Common  Stock  and
reclassified its existing Preferred Stock as Class A Common Stock with no change
in existing rights, privileges, or preferences in either class of stock.

     The  Company  reclassified  its  stock  in  order  to  better  reflect  the
expectations of investors.  The Company has, on a regular basis,  been contacted
by brokers,  investors,  and shareholders who have asked,  amongst other things,
for the stated rate of dividends on the Company's  Preferred Stock,  whether the
dividends  cumulate,  and whether the Preferred Stock is convertible.  While the
Preferred  shares  do  carry a 5%  preference  as to  dividend  and  liquidation
distributions,  they do not have the  features  many  investors  associate  with
preferred stock -- namely,  regular dividends at a stated rate, which may or may
not be cumulative.  To avoid any confusion or misunderstanding,  the Corporation
has reclassified its "Preferred Stock."

     Shareholders  approved  the  reclassification  on  May  9,  1996,  and  the
reclassification  became  effective  June 4,  1996  when  the  Company's  Second
Restated and Amended  Articles of  Incorporation  were accepted and filed by the
Office of the Secretary of State in the state of Texas.
