Clarus Announces Second Quarter 2007 Results

STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT — August 8, 2007 — Clarus Corporation (OTC:CLRS.PK) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Clarus reported no revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net income for the second quarter of 2007 increased $105,000 to $81,000 or $0.00 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $24,000 or $0.00 per diluted share during the comparable period of 2006. The increase in net income was primarily a result of a $100,000 reduction in transaction expenses, a $85,000 increase in interest income due to higher interest rates on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities partially offset by an $80,000 increase in general and administrative costs. Prior year transaction expenses relate to an acquisition process that terminated without Clarus consummating the acquisition and include the costs incurred during due diligence and negotiation of potential acquisitions such as legal, accounting and other professional fees and related expenses.

As of June 30, 2007, Clarus’ cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $85.3 million, (or $4.96 gross cash per share) compared to $84.4 million as of December 31, 2006. Gross cash per share at June 30, 2007 equals cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $85.3 million divided by 17.2 million common shares outstanding. Clarus has provided this non-GAAP measure because it believes that it is useful to investors assessing the extent of Clarus’ assets available for redeployment. Clarus is unaware of any comparable GAAP measure.

Clarus estimates that it has available net operating loss, research and experimentation credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $222.9 million, $1.3 million and $53,000, respectively, which expire in varying amounts between 2009 and 2026, after application of the limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Of the approximately $222.9 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to offset taxable income, approximately $206.4 million does not expire until 2020 or later, subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Clarus also has capital loss carryforwards of $14.0 million which expire in 2007 and 2008.

Clarus does not currently intend to hold conference calls to discuss quarterly earnings releases unless and until it consummates an acquisition in connection with its redeployment strategy. At such time, Clarus plans to resume holding quarterly conference calls to review earnings and operating performance.

Clarus, formerly a provider of e-commerce business solutions, is seeking to redeploy its assets and use its substantial cash, cash equivalent assets and marketable securities to enhance stockholder value.
