STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT — August 4, 2008 — Clarus Corporation (OTC:CLRS.PK) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Clarus reported no revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net loss for the second quarter of 2008 increased $864,000 to $783,000 or $(0.05) per diluted share compared to a net income of $81,000 or $0.00 per diluted share during the comparable period of 2007. The increase in net loss was primarily a result of a $520,000 reduction in interest income due to lower interest rates on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and a $354,000 increase in general and administrative costs, which included $131,000 in non-cash equity compensation expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, our investment yield was 2.60% compared to 5.12% in the comparable period of 2007. The increase in general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008, was primarily attributable to increases in non-cash equity compensation expense, employment compensation and benefits, investment management fees and other professional fees.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Clarus reported net loss of $1,200,000 or $(0.07) per diluted share compared to net income of $283,000 or $0.02 per diluted share for the same period in 2007. The increase in net loss was primarily a result of a decrease in interest income of $775,000 due to lower interest rates on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and an increase of $720,000 in general and administrative costs, which included $262,000 of non-cash equity compensation expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, our investment yield was 3.20% compared to 5.13% in the comparable period of 2007. Our current yield is 2.34% as of July 15, 2008. The increase in general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was primarily attributable to increases in non-cash equity compensation expense, employment compensation and benefits, investment management fees and other professional fees.

As of June 30, 2008, Clarus’ cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $86.3 million, (or $4.96 gross cash per share) compared to $87.1 million as of December 31, 2007. Gross cash per share at June 30, 2008 equals cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $86.3 million divided by 17.4 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 $224.1 million, $1.3 million and $56,000, 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 $224.1 million of net operating loss carryforwards available to offset taxable income, approximately $207.1 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 $1.6 million which expire in 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.
