         CLARUS ANNOUNCES THE CLOSING OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE ASSET SALE

    STOCKHOLDER ENDORSEMENT OF ASSET REDEPLOYMENT STRATEGY ALLOWS COMPANY TO
                   CONTINUE PUSH TO ENHANCE STOCKHOLDER VALUE

     ATLANTA, GA., DECEMBER 6, 2002 - Clarus Corporation (NASDAQ: CLRS)
announced today that it completed the sale of substantially all of its
electronic commerce business to Epicor Software Corporation, a provider of
integrated enterprise and eBusiness software solutions for midmarket companies,
for $1.0 million in cash. Separately, Clarus continues to make progress toward
the sale of the assets related to its Cashbook product to an employee group
headquartered in Limerick, Ireland, representing substantially all of the
remainder of the Company's electronic commerce operations.

Upon the closing of the Epicor transaction, Warren B. Kanders assumed the
position of Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, Stephen P. Jeffery
ceased to serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and James
J. McDevitt ceased to serve as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary.
Mr. Jeffery has, however, agreed to continue to serve on the Board of Directors
and serve the Company in a consulting capacity for a period of three years.
Also, Said Mohammadioun resigned his position as a Director of the Company. In
addition, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Nigel P. Ekern as
Chief Administrative Officer to oversee the interim operations of Clarus and to
assist with the Company's asset redeployment strategy.

Mr. Kanders stated: "The completion of the sale of our electronic commerce
business continues our efforts to reposition Clarus' business in order to
enhance stockholder value." Mr. Kanders continued: "We are pleased that the
Company's stockholders have

again endorsed the Company's strategy of redeploying its assets through an
acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business and the use of our
substantial cash, other non-operating assets and our publicly-traded stock to
seek new opportunities. The disposition of the Company's electronic commerce
assets is expected to limit our operating losses and cash expenditure rate and
allow the Company to focus on using its assets to increase stockholder value."
As previously reported, as of September 30, 2002, the Company's balance of cash
and marketable securities was $102.6 million. As part of the redeployment
strategy, the Company is relocating its corporate headquarters to Greenwich, CT.

Mr. Kanders added "We would like to thank the outgoing management team for their
efforts in bringing this transaction to a close, transferring the e-commerce and
procurement business to Epicor and enabling a smooth transition for both Epicor
and Clarus."

Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc., a New York based investment banking firm serving
middle market companies, retained by the Company to assist in implementing the
asset redeployment strategy, is in the process of identifying suitable merger
partners or acquisition candidates.

The closing of the sale to Epicor followed a special meeting of stockholders in
which stockholders approved the sale transaction as well as: 1) the
reimbursement of expenses incurred by Warren B. Kanders on behalf of himself,
Burtt Ehrlich, and Nicholas Sokolow in connection with their successful
solicitation of proxies; and 2) the elimination of the classification of the
Company's Board of Directors.

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