ITEM 2.02  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

On August 2, 2005, U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. reported its results for the
second quarter and six months ended June 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.
