Barrett Business Services, Inc. (the “Company”), has experienced unexpected delays in preparing its financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, due to the time required to analyze and reflect the effects of a change in estimate relating to the Company’s workers’ compensation reserves in its financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014. As a result, the Company is not able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q no later than November 17, 2014.
