CLARUS CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Clarus Corporation and subsidiaries ("Clarus" or the "Company," which may be referred to as "we," "us," or "our") as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information in notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2007. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

As part of our previously announced strategy to limit operating losses and enable the Company to redeploy its assets and use its substantial cash, cash equivalent assets and marketable securities to enhance stockholder value, on December 6, 2002, we sold substantially all of our electronic commerce business, which represented substantially all of our revenue-generating operations and related assets. During January 2003, we sold the assets relating to our Cashbook product representing the remainder of our operating assets.

The Company did not recognize any transaction expenses in the third quarter of 2007. The Company recognized approximately $25,000 of transaction expenses in the third quarter of 2006, arising out of an acquisition negotiation and due diligence process that terminated without the consummation of the acquisition. Transaction expense consists primarily of professional fees and expenses related to due diligence, negotiation and documentation of acquisition, financing and related agreements.

We are currently working to identify suitable merger partners or acquisition opportunities. Although we are not targeting specific business industries for potential acquisitions, we plan to seek businesses with substantial cash flow, experienced management teams, and operations in markets offering substantial growth opportunities.

NOTE 3. EARNINGS INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by including the effect of all potentially dilutive securities, including options, warrants, restricted stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders if their effect is anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders included the dilutive effect of options to purchase 1,068,750 shares of the Company’s common stock and 500,000 shares of restricted stock as these securities were potentially dilutive in computing net income per share. Diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 excluded the anti-dilutive effect of options to purchase 555,000 shares of the Company’s common stock whose exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock.

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders included the dilutive effect of options to purchase 663,750 shares of the Company’s common stock as these securities were potentially dilutive in computing net income per share. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive in computing diluted net loss per share for these periods.

Options to acquire 1,010,000 shares of common stock during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 were outstanding, but not included in the calculation of weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding because the option exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company's common stock during that period.

NOTE 4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

The Company adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan"), which was approved by stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting in June 2005. Under the 2005 Plan, the Board of Directors has flexibility to determine the type and amount of awards to be granted to eligible participants, who must be employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, directors, officers or consultants to the Company. The 2005 Plan provides for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted units. As of September 30, 2007, the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan is 4.2 million, subject to an automatic annual increase equal to 4% of the total number of shares of Clarus’ common stock outstanding. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted through awards under the 2005 Plan to any employee in any calendar year may not exceed 500,000 shares. The 2005 Plan will continue in effect until June 2015 unless terminated sooner. As of September 30, 2007, 135,000 stock options awarded under the plan are vested and eligible for exercise.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123R”), requiring recognition of expense related to the fair value of stock option awards. The Company recognizes the cost of the share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock option plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accountant Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under SFAS 123R, compensation cost recognized during the third quarter of 2007 and 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R. The Company recorded total non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $67,000 and $73,000, related to unvested restricted stock under SFAS 123R for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 the Company recorded total non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $201,000 and $222,000, respectively. The Company incurred no compensation expense related to options under SFAS 123R for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

As of January 1, 2006, the Company had no unvested stock options that would have been affected by the implementation of FAS 123R. For this reason, the implementation of this standard had no effect on the Company’s income statement or earnings per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
 
5


We will continue to estimate the fair value of our option awards granted after January 1, 2006, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life of the options granted is management’s estimate and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. We currently do not pay dividends. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock price. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. No options were granted during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 or 2006.

Outstanding options, consisting of incentive and non-qualified stock options, generally vest and become exercisable over a three- to five-year period from the date of grant. Other options granted are immediately vested, but are subject to lock-up provisions that do not permit the recipient from selling the shares until the lock-up expires, which is generally staggered over a three- to five-year period. The outstanding options generally expire ten years from date of grant or upon retirement from the Company, respectively, and are contingent upon continued employment during the applicable ten-year period.

A summary of the status of stock option grants as of September 30, 2007, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, is presented below:

The fair value of unvested shares is determined based on the market price of our shares on the grant date. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, there were no unvested shares and no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options.

In April 2003, the Company granted 500,000 shares of restricted stock to Warren B. Kanders, the Executive Chairman of the Board. The shares vest over ten years or earlier upon the satisfaction of various conditions including performance based conditions relating to the price of the Company's common stock. Under the provisions of APB Opinion 25, the Company recognized compensation expense for this award over the vesting period. Compensation expense was re-measured on a quarterly basis based upon the current market value of the underlying stock at the end of the period. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant and is recognized over the requisite service period of ten years resulting in a charge of $67,000 and $201,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The Company utilizes SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income (loss) and its components of net income (loss) and "Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)." "Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" refers to revenues, expenses and gains and losses that are not included in net income (loss) but rather are recorded directly in stockholders' equity. The components of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, were as follows:

NOTE 6. CONTINGENCIES

We are not a party to nor are any of our properties subject to any pending legal, administrative or judicial proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to our business.

NOTE 7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB No. 115,” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows a company to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” or FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty  in  income  taxes recognized  in an enterprise’s financial statements  in accordance  with  SFAS  No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN  48  prescribes  a recognition  threshold  and  measurement  attribute  for  the  financial  statement  recognition  and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.    There  was  no  change  to  the  net  amount  of  assets  and  liabilities recognized in the statement of financial condition as a result of our adoption of FIN 48.

The  following  disclosures,  which  are  generally  not  required  in  interim  period  financial statements, are included herein as a result of our adoption of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in various state jurisdictions. With  few exceptions, we are no  longer subject  to  federal, state and  local  income tax  examinations  by  tax  authorities  for  years  prior  to  2003.  At January 1, 2007, we had no unrecognized tax benefits.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In September 2003, the Company and Kanders & Company, Inc. (“Kanders & Company”), an entity owned and controlled by the Company's Executive Chairman, Warren B. Kanders, entered into a 15-year lease with a five-year renewal option, as co-tenants to lease approximately 11,500 square feet in Stamford, Connecticut. The Company and Kanders & Company have initially agreed to allocate the total lease payments of $33,542 per month on the basis of Kanders & Company renting 2,900 square feet for $8,386 per month, and the Company renting 8,600 square feet for $25,156 per month, which are subject to increases during the term of the lease. Rent expense is recognized on a straight line basis. The lease provides the co-tenants with an option to terminate the lease in years eight and ten in consideration for a termination payment. The Company and Kanders & Company agreed to pay for their proportionate share of the build-out construction costs, fixtures, equipment and furnishings related to preparation of the space. In connection with the lease, the Company obtained a stand-by letter of credit in the amount of $850,000 to secure lease obligations for the Stamford facility. Kanders & Company reimburses the Company for a pro rata portion of the approximately $5,000 annual cost of the letter of credit.

The Company provides certain telecommunication, administrative and other office services as well as accounting and bookkeeping services to Kanders & Company that are reimbursed by Kanders & Company. Such services aggregated $79,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and $26,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, such services aggregated $221,300 and $46,500, respectively.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had a receivable of $79,000 from Kanders & Company. The amount due from Kanders & Company is included in prepaids and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding amount was paid in November 2007. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had an outstanding receivable of $26,200 to Kanders & Company. The outstanding amount was paid in October 2006.

The Company provides certain telecommunication, administrative and other office services to Stamford Industrial Group, Inc., formerly known as Net Perceptions, Inc. (“SIG”) that are reimbursed by SIG. Warren B. Kanders, our Executive Chairman, also serves as the Non-Executive Chairman of SIG. Such services aggregated $15,800 during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and $11,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, such services aggregated $71,000 and $16,400, respectively.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding a receivable of $15,700 from SIG. The amount due from SIG is included in prepaids and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding amount was paid in November 2007. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had outstanding a receivable of $11,400 from SIG. The outstanding amount was paid by SIG in October 2006.

The Company did not incur any expenses or payments for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 with Kanders Aviation LLC, an affiliate of the Company’s Executive Chairman, Warren B. Kanders. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company incurred charges of approximately $21,500 for payments to Kanders Aviation LLC relating to aircraft travel by directors and officers of the Company for potential redeployment transactions, pursuant the Transportation Services Agreement, dated December 18, 2003 between the Company and Kanders Aviation LLC. As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no outstanding receivables from or payables to Kanders Aviation.

In the opinion of management, the rates, terms and considerations of the transactions with the related parties described above approximate those that the Company would have received in transactions with unaffiliated parties.

The Board of Directors has a general practice of requiring directors interested in a transaction not to participate in deliberations or to vote upon transactions in which they have an interest, and to be sure that transactions with directors, executive officers and major shareholders are on terms that align the interests of the parties to such agreements with the interests of the stockholders.

NOTE 9. NET OPERATING LOSS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD EXPIRATION

At September 30, 2007, the Company has net operating loss, research and experimentation credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $228.4 million, $1.3 million and $53,000, respectively, which expire in varying amounts beginning in the year 2009. The Company also has a capital loss carryforward of $14.0 million which expires in varying amounts in 2007 and 2008. The Company's ability to benefit from certain net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to a prior ownership change of greater than 50%. Accordingly, approximately $222.8 million of the $228.4 million of U.S. net operating loss carryforward is currently available to offset taxable income that the Company may recognize in the future. Of the approximately $222.8 million of net operating losses available to offset taxable income, approximately $206.4 million does not begin to expire until 2020 or later, subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain forward-looking statements, including information about or related to our future results, certain projections and business trends. Assumptions relating to forward-looking statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. When used in this report, the words "estimate," "project," "intend," "believe," "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any or all of the assumptions could prove inaccurate, and we may not realize the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Management decisions are subjective in many respects and susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based upon actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our business strategy or capital expenditure plans that may, in turn, affect our results of operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in this report, you should not regard the inclusion of such information as our representation that we will achieve any strategy, objectives or other plans. The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report, and we have no obligation to update publicly or revise any of these forward-looking statements.

These and other statements, which are not historical facts, are based largely upon our current expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, our planned effort to redeploy our assets and use our substantial cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to enhance stockholder value following the sale of substantially all of our electronic commerce business, which represented substantially all of our revenue generating operations and related assets, and the risks and uncertainties as set forth in "Risk Factors" found in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and described below.

We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our efforts to redeploy our assets or that any such redeployment will result in Clarus’ future profitability. Our failure to redeploy our assets could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
OVERVIEW
 
As part of our previously announced strategy to limit operation losses and enable the Company to redeploy its assets and use its substantial cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to enhance stockholder value, on December 6, 2002 we sold substantially all of our electronic commerce business, which represented substantially all of our revenue-generating operations and related assets. The information appearing below, which relates to prior periods, is therefore not indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period. Results for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 primarily reflects, and any future periods prior to a redeployment of our assets are expected to primarily reflect, general and administrative expenses and transaction expenses associated with the continuing administration of the company and its efforts to redeploy its assets. Successful redeployment of our assets is dependent upon the efforts of our executive management team, in particular Warren B. Kanders, our Executive Chairman of the Board of the Directors. While Mr. Kanders recently resigned as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Armor Holdings in connection with its recent sale, he and our other employees also serve in various capacities with other public and private entities, including blank check companies. As previously disclosed, our employees, including Mr. Kanders, Philip A., Baratelli, our Chief Financial Officer, and Gary M. Julien, our Vice President of Corporate Development, devote as much of their time as is necessary to the affairs of the Company.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES

The Company's discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based on the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company continually evaluates its estimates and assumptions including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of investments, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies include the more significant estimates and assumptions used by management in the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

- The Company accounts for its marketable securities under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 115, the  Company has classified its marketable securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities have been recorded at fair value and related unrealized gains and losses have been excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized.
 
10

 
- The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under the asset and liability method specified thereunder, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities are offset by deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards and deductible temporary differences. Recognition of deferred tax assets is based on management’s belief that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit associated with temporary differences and operating and capital loss carryforwards will be utilized. A valuation allowance is recorded for those deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the realization will not occur.

SOURCES OF REVENUE
 
Until a redeployment of the Company's assets occurs, the Company's principal income will consist of interest, dividend and other investment income from short-term investments, which is reported as interest income in the Company's statement of operations.
 
OPERATING EXPENSES

General and administrative expense includes salaries and employee benefits, rent, insurance, legal, accounting and other professional fees, state and local non-income based taxes, board of director fees as well as public company expenses such as transfer agent and listing fees and expenses.

Transaction expense consists primarily of professional fees and expenses related to due diligence, negotiation and documentation of acquisition, financing and related agreements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE THREE- AND NINE-MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006

On December 6, 2002, the Company completed the disposition of substantially all its operating assets, and the Company is now evaluating alternative ways to redeploy its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities into new businesses. The discussion below is therefore not meaningful to an understanding of future revenue, earnings, operations, business or prospects of the Company following such a redeployment of its assets.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses increased $111,000, or 13%, to $961,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $850,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The increase in general and administrative expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to increases in employment compensation and benefits and rent offset by decreases in investment custody fees and other professional fees. General and administrative expenses increased $87,000, or 3%, to $2,644,000 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to $2,557,000 during the same period in 2006. The increase in general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to increases in employment compensation and benefits, rent and legal fees offset by decreases in investment custody fees, accounting fees, stock administrative fees and other professional fees. This trend is consistent with management's intention to maintain our expenditure rate, to the extent practicable, near the level of our investment income until the completion of an acquisition or merger.

TRANSACTION EXPENSES

Transaction expenses decreased $25,000, or 100%, to zero during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $25,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, arising out of an acquisition, negotiation and due diligence process that terminated without the consummation of the acquisition. Transaction expenses decreased $1.41 million, or 99%, to $8,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1.4 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006.
 
11

 
DEPRECIATION

Depreciation expense increased $3,000, or 3%, to $89,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $86,000 in the same period ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, depreciation expense increased $11,000, or 4%, to $270,000, compared to $259,000 in the same period ended September 30, 2006. The increases are primarily attributable to additional depreciation of office equipment.

OTHER INCOME

For the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not record any gains or losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a loss from the disposal of equipment compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 when the Company recorded gains and losses that offset.
 
INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased $26,000, or 2%, to $1,086,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 from $1,060,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Interest income for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, includes $992,000 and $662,000 in discount accretion and premium amortization, respectively. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in the yields that we received on our cash, cash equivalent assets and marketable securities. The weighted average interest rate for our investments for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 was 5.12% compared to 5.11% for same period in 2006.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, interest income increased $320,000, or 11%, to $3.2 million from $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, includes $2.6 million and $1.8 million in discount accretion and premium amortization, respectively. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in the yields that we received on our cash, cash equivalent assets and marketable securities. The weighted average interest rate for our investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 5.13% compared to 4.70% for same period in 2006.

The current earnings rate as of September 30, 2007 is 4.96%. As of October 31, 2007, the current yield on the Company’s portfolio is 4.81%, down 0.15% due to declining interest rates. On October 31, 2007, the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate from 4.75% to 4.50%. We expect this interest rate reduction to negatively impact our reinvestment rate on cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities for the fourth quarter of 2007.
 
INCOME TAXES

As a result of the operating losses incurred since the Company's inception, no provision or benefit for income taxes was recorded during the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased to $20.7 million at September 30, 2007 from $1.7 million at December 31, 2006. Marketable securities decreased to $65.1 million at September 30, 2007 from $82.6 million at December 31, 2006. The overall combined increase of $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities is primarily due to an increase in net income, proceeds from the exercise of stock options partially offset by an increase in operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Cash used by operating activities was approximately $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to cash used by operating activities of approximately $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in cash used by operations was primarily attributable to the Company's higher net income, and a decrease in accrued interest receivable, prepaids and other current assets, offset by an increase in discount amortization.

Cash provided by investing activities was approximately $19.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The cash was provided primarily by the maturity of marketable securities partially offset by the purchase of marketable securities. Cash used by investing activities was approximately $19.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The cash was used primarily for the purchase of marketable securities partially offset by the maturity of marketable securities. Capital expenditures were $47,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to $8,000 for the same period in 2006. The increase was for the purchase of computer and office equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities was $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. There was no cash provided by or used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was attributable to proceeds from the exercise of stock options. There were no stock option exercises during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
 
12

 
At September 30, 2007, the Company has net operating loss, research and experimentation credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $228.4 million, $1.3 million and $53,000, respectively, which expire in varying amounts beginning in the year 2009. The Company also has a capital loss carryforward of $14.0 million which expires in varying amounts in 2007 and 2008. The Company's ability to benefit from certain net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is limited under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to a prior ownership change of greater than 50%. Accordingly, approximately $222.8 million of the $228.4 million of U.S. net operating loss carryforward is currently available to offset taxable income that the Company may recognize in the future. Of the approximately $222.8 million of net operating losses 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s cash, cash equivalent assets and marketable securities. There is a market rate risk for changes in interest rates earned on these investments as well as an inherent rollover risk in the investments as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates. However, there is minimal risk of loss of principal in the cash, cash equivalent assets or marketable securities, only a risk related to potential reduction in future interest income. The Company does not hold derivative financial investments, derivative commodity investments, engage in foreign currency hedging or other transactions that expose us to material market risk.

ITEM 4. PROCEDURES AND CONTROLS

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Financial Officer, its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2007, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007 are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have come to management’s attention during the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 evaluation that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.
