                   CLARUS ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2003 RESULTS


GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT--NOVEMBER 11, 2003--Clarus Corporation (Nasdaq: CLRS)
today announced financial results for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2003. Clarus reported revenues of $104,000 for the first nine
months of 2003 from the recognition of deferred software service fees compared
to $8.0 million during the comparable period of 2002. Net loss for the first
nine months of 2003 was $4.1 million or $0.26 per diluted share compared to a
net loss of $31.0 million or $1.99 per diluted share during the comparable
period of 2002. As of September 30, 2003, Clarus' cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities were $88.6 million (or $5.37 gross cash per share(1))
compared to $95.1 million as of December 31, 2002. Clarus currently has
approximately $128 million of net operating losses, capital losses and other
U.S. and foreign tax credit carryforwards to offset taxable income that Clarus
may recognize in the future, subject to limitations of applicable tax laws.

Nigel Ekern, Clarus' Chief Administrative Officer stated, "We are seeking to
identify and continue to actively evaluate suitable acquisition and merger
opportunities as part of our strategy to redeploy our cash and utilize our
NOL's, to the extent available. We have seen a pick up in deal activity over the
last couple months and are encouraged by these signs that companies are becoming
more willing to engage in M&A transactions."

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

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 stockholder value.

--------------
(1) Gross cash per share at September 30, 2003 equals cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $88.6 million divided by 16.5 million common shares
outstanding.
