              KANDERS NOMINEES PLEASED BY PUBLIC SUPPORT FROM MAJOR
                               CLARUS STOCKHOLDER


         Greenwich, Connecticut, May 9, 2002 - Warren B. Kanders, Burtt R.
Ehrlich and Nicholas Sokolow (the "Kanders Nominees"), collectively the holders
of approximately 5.5% of the outstanding common stock of Clarus Corporation
(NASDAQ: CLRS) (the "Company"), commented on a Dow Jones Newswire which reported
that a major Clarus stockholder, Nightwatch Capital Partners LLC, intends to
support the Kanders slate of nominees at the Clarus Annual Meeting scheduled to
be held on May 21, 2002. According to the Dow Jones Newswire, which appeared on
May 7, 2002, Nightwatch currently has a stake of 250,000 shares, which
represents 1.6% of the shares outstanding.

         Commenting on the current state of the Clarus Board, John Nemelka of
Nigthwatch, stated that "there needs to be an independent board and because of
that we intend to support Kanders' slate." Referring to recent SEC filings made
by the Kanders Nominees, Mr. Nemelka added that"Mr. Kanders makes a pretty
convincing argument."

         "We are very pleased that Nightwatch has publicly supported our
independent slate of directors and look forward to more Clarus stockholders,
both institutional and individual, coming out in support of our nominees,"
Warren Kanders said. Kanders added that "My fellow nominees and I would feel
privileged to serve on the Clarus Board and work towards helping to revive a
Company which, we believe, has the potential to perform much better in a
competitive marketplace."

THE KANDERS NOMINEES STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE TO PROTECT YOUR INTEREST
AS A CLARUS STOCKHOLDER BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE GREEN PROXY CARD.
