U.S. PHYSICAL THERAPY INVESTIGATION INITIATED by Former Louisiana Attorney General: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates the Officers and Directors of U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. - USPHFormer Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF"), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (NYSE: USPH). On March 16, 2017, U.S. Physical Therapy revealed an accounting error related to "the Company's historical accounting for redeemable non-controlling interests of acquired partnerships … due to the fact that those partnership agreements contain a provision that makes the non-controlling interests mandatorily redeemable and, thus incorrectly classified." The Company further stated that "this error will result in the reporting of a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting" requiring "the restatement of previously issued financial statements." Thereafter, U.S. Physical Therapy and certain of its executives were sued in a class actionlawsuit, charging them with violations of federal securities laws. KSF's investigation is focusing on whether U.S. Physical Therapy's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
