U.S. Global Investors, Inc.

The presenters for today's program are Frank Holmes, U.S. Global Investors, CEO and Chief Investment Officer, Lisa Calicott, Chief Financial Officer, and myself, Holly Schoenfeld, Director of Marketing. Now let's move to slide number three. This is forward-looking statements. So during this webcast, we may make forward-looking statements about our relative business outlook, Any forward-looking statements and all other statements made during this webcast that don't pertain to historical facts are subject to risks and uncertainties that may materially affect actual results. Please refer to our press release and the corresponding Form 10-Q filing for more detail on factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any described today in forward-looking statements. Any such statements are made as of today, and U.S. Global accepts no obligation to update them in the future. On the next slide, as always, we would love to offer anyone tuned in today one of our JETS, GOAU, or CHATs. In addition, we do have JETS luggage tags available. All you have to do is send us an email with your physical mailing address to info at usfunds.com.

And don't forget the GOAU.

And the GOAU hats, yes. All right, so on this slide, I want to quickly review our company. U.S. Global Investors is an innovative investment manager with vast experience in global markets and specialized sectors. It was originally founded as an investment club, becoming a registered investment advisor in 1968. The company has a longstanding history of global investing and launching first-of-their-kind investment products, including the first no-load gold fund. We are well known for expertise in gold and precious metals, natural resources, airlines, and luxury goods. And now, on the next slide, this is where I want to hand the presentation over to CEO Frank Holmes to review what we believe is one of the most helpful and also one of the most telling visuals when it comes to investing, not only for Grow, but for any major asset class.
