Note 8 – Contingencies

On November 6, 2014, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington on behalf of a putative class comprising purchasers of BBSI securities between February 12, 2013 and October 29, 2014, inclusive (Case No. 14-5884). The complaint names as defendants the Company and two of its officers. The lawsuit alleges violations of federal securities laws and seeks compensatory damages (in an amount to be determined at trial), plus interest, and costs and expenses (including attorney fees and expert fees).

Several additional lawsuits based on similar allegations have been announced as having been filed since November 6, 2014.
