2 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors of Clarus Corporation: We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the Clarus Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related statements of operations and changes in Plan equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan's management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Clarus Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of its operations and changes in its Plan equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ KPMG LLP Atlanta, Georgia April 23, 2004 3 CLARUS CORPORATION EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 2003 2002 ------------ ------------ ASSETS: Participants' payroll deductions receivable from Clarus Corporation (note 1) $ -- $ 15,156 ============ ============ LIABILITIES: Withdrawals payable to participants (note 1) $ -- $ 5,173 PLAN EQUITY -- 9,983 ------------ ------------ LIABILITIES AND PLAN EQUITY $ -- $ 15,156 ============ ============ See accompanying notes to financial statements. 4 CLARUS CORPORATION EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN PLAN EQUITY YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003, 2002 AND 2001 2003 2002 2001 ----------- ----------- ----------- Participants' contributions, net $ -- $ 39,937 $ 185,812 Contributions used for stock purchase (9,983) (60,007) (259,466) ----------- ----------- ----------- Net decrease in Plan equity (9,983) (20,070) (73,654) Plan equity, beginning of year 9,983 30,053 103,707 ----------- ----------- ----------- Plan equity, end of year $ -- $ 9,983 $ 30,053 =========== =========== =========== See accompanying notes to financial statements. 5 Clarus Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 1. Description of the Plan The following description of the Clarus Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") provides general information only. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for more complete information. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage and assist employees of Clarus Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), by giving them the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock at a discount. Generally, eligible employees, as defined in the Plan documents, may elect to have up to 15 % of their annual salary, up to a maximum of $12,500 per six-month purchase period, withheld to purchase the Company's common stock at a price equal to the lower of 85% of the market price of the Company's common stock at either the beginning or the end of the six-month offering period. There were no participants in the Plan at December 31, 2003 and three participants in the Plan at December 31, 2002. Effective January 1, 2001, the Plan was amended and the $12,500 purchase period limitation was removed from the Plan. Each eligible employee who elects to participate in the Plan is deemed to be granted the option at the beginning of each six-month period to purchase shares of newly issued common stock of the Company through regular payroll deductions during the period beginning on the first day of each six month period and ending on the final day of the six month period. The market price used to calculate the purchase price is the lower of 85% of the price at the beginning of the six-month period or 85% of the price at the end of the six-month period. The Plan allows a participant to withdraw all but not less than all payroll deductions credited to their account during a purchase period at any time prior to the applicable purchase date by giving written notice to the Company. The Plan was amended effective August 29, 2001 to require that a withdrawal must be made at least five business days prior to the purchase date. No other changes, including increasing or decreasing the amount of payroll deductions, may be made during the purchase period. No interest will accrue or be payable with respect to any of the payroll deductions of a Participant in the Plan. All employee payroll deductions withheld by the Company under the Plan may be commingled with the general funds and assets of the Company and used by the Company for any corporate purpose. The Company adopted the Plan in June 2000. A maximum of 750,000 shares of common stock may be purchased under the Plan. As of December 31, 2000, no shares had been purchased under the Plan. In January 2001, $103,577 was used to purchase 17,486 shares for the period from June 13, 2000 (inception) to the year ended December 31, 2000. In July 2001, $155,889 was used to purchase 30,214 shares for the period ending June 30, 2001. In January 2002, $30,006 was used to purchase 5,740 shares of common stock for 6 the period ending December 31, 2001. In July 2002, $30,001 was used to purchase 7,059 shares of common stock for the period ending June 30, 2002. During 2003, $9,983 was used to purchase 2,349 shares of common stock and $5,173 was refunded to participants for the period ending December 31, 2002. The amount refunded was the amount due to one participant who reached the Internal Revenue Service $25,000 annual limit of the amount of stock an employee can purchase at fair market value. 2. Accounting Policy The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. 3. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported as assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 4. Administrative Expenses of the Plan The Company pays all administrative expenses of the Plan. The Company pays any brokerage fees for the purchase of shares on behalf of the Plan participants, but the participants pay brokerage fees for the resale of shares by participants. 5. Federal Income Tax The Plan is intended to comply under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under existing federal income tax laws, the Plan is not subject to federal income tax. However, when a participant sells any shares of stock purchased through the Plan, that participant must recognize income taxes on any gain or loss. 6. Plan Termination Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate or amend the Plan at any time, provided, however, that no termination or amendment shall affect or diminish any participant's right to the benefit of contributions made by the participant prior to the date of such amendment or termination. 7 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors of Clarus Corporation: We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the Global Employee Stock Purchase Plan of Clarus Corporation (the "Global Plan") as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related statements of operations and changes in Plan equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003.
