FEBRUARY 28, 1997 AND MARCH 3, 1997 SALE OF SECURITIES

     U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (the "Registrant" or "U.S. Global") reduced its
investment in certain  government notes ("Notes") financed by reverse repurchase
agreements  with various  broker-dealers  when the two  remaining  Notes it held
matured.  The Notes,  with par values of $10.75  million  and  $15.975  million,
matured  on  February  28,  1997,  and  March  3,  1997,   respectively.   These
transactions strengthen the Registrant's balance sheet and improve its financial
ratios and cash flow.  Going forward,  the Registrant is expected to save annual
interest costs of $335,000.
