ITEM 2.02   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

On October 27, 2005, U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (the "Company") reported its
results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005. A copy
of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The press release
contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under Regulation G of
the rules and regulations of the SEC. The non-GAAP financial measures contained
in the presentation include presentation of results excluding gain related to
sold clinics and certain costs related to CEO severance and recruiting fees.
Management believes providing this non-GAAP financial information to investors
is useful information for comparing the Company's period-to-period results
because the excluded amounts were material in amount and generally non-recurring
in nature and did not occur in the current periods.

to EBITDA. Management believes providing this non-GAAP financial information to
investors is useful information for comparing the Company's period-to-period
results.
