NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 months ended March 31, 2010, 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 months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2010. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2. ASSET REDEPLOYMENT STRATEGY

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 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. During January 2003, we sold the assets relating to our Cashbook product representing the remainder of our operating assets.

The Company incurred $1,509,000 and zero, respectively, for transaction expenses in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009. Transaction expense consists primarily of professional fees and expenses related to due diligence, negotiation and documentation of acquisition, financing and related agreements for asset redeployment activities.

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 (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net (loss) per share was computed by dividing earnings (loss) on common stock by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share were computed by dividing earnings on common stock by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus the effect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock grants. The diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 excludes incremental shares calculated using the treasury stock method, assumed from the conversion of stock options and 500,000 shares of restricted stock due to the net loss for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, 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 the period. Options to acquire 1,845,000 shares of common stock and 500,000 shares of restricted stock during the three months ended March 31, 2010, were outstanding, but not included in the calculation of weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding because the option and stock grant prices were higher than the average market price of the Company's common stock during the period. In addition, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders would have excluded the potentially dilutive effect of options whose exercise prices were lower than the average market price of the Company's common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and restricted stock, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive because the Company incurred losses during the period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, 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 the period. Options to acquire 1,908,750 shares of common stock and 500,000 shares of restricted stock during the three months ended March 31, 2009, were outstanding, but not included in the calculation of weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding because the option and stock grant prices were higher than the average market price of the Company's common stock during the period. In addition, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders would have excluded the potentially dilutive effect of options whose exercise prices were lower than the average market price of the Company's common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and restricted stock, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive because the Company incurred losses during the period.

The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted shares outstanding used in the calculation of earnings per share:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
	2010			2009

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 March 31, 2010, the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan is 5.7 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 March 31, 2010, 748,750 stock options have been awarded under the plan, of which 90,000 are unvested and 658,750 are vested and eligible for exercise.

The Company recorded total non-cash stock compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock as follows:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
	2010		2009

Restricted Stock	$	67,000	$	67,000
Stock Options		51,000		72,000
Total	$	118,000	$	139,000

No options or restricted stock were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.

A summary of the status of stock option grants as of March 31, 2009, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2009, is presented below:

	Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price

Outstanding at December 31, 2009		1,968,750	$	7.01
Granted		-
Exercised		-
Forfeited		-
Outstanding at March 31, 2010		1,968,750	$	7.01

Options exercisable at March 31, 2010		1,878,750	$	7.06

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2010:

Exercise Price Range	Outstanding		Exercisable		Remaining Life In Years		Weighted Average Exercise Price
$3.85 - $ 4.45		123,750		123,750		5.7	$	4.03
$4.46 - $10.00		1,845,000		1,755,000		5.3	$	6.89
Total		1,968,750		1,878,750		5.5	$	6.71

The fair value of unvested shares is determined based on the market price of our shares on the grant date. As of March 31, 2010, there were 90,000 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of $213,000 related to unvested stock options.

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 months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
(in thousands)	2010			2009

Net loss	$	(2,355	)	$	(601	)
Decrease in unrealized gain on marketable securities		(4	)		(302	)
Comprehensive loss	$	(2,359	)	$	(903	)

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 PRONOUNCEMENTS

There were no new accounting pronouncements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 that materially impacted the financial results or disclosures of the Company.

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In September 2003, the Company and 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 with Kanders & Company to lease approximately 11,500 square feet in Stamford, Connecticut. Presently the Company pays $29,218 a month for its 75% portion of the lease. Kanders & Company pays $9,739 month for its 25% portion 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 $4,500 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 $35,700 during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and $57,500 during the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had a net receivable of $12,100 from Kanders & Company. The amount due to and from Kanders & Company is included in prepaids and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding amount was paid in April 2010. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a net receivable of $52,000 from Kanders & Company. The amount due to and from Kanders & Company is included in prepaids and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding amount was paid and received in the first quarter of 2010.

Until September 30, 2009, the Company previously provided certain telecommunication, administrative and other office services to Stamford Industrial Group, Inc. (“SIG”) that were reimbursed by SIG. Warren B. Kanders, our Executive Chairman, also served as the Non-Executive Chairman of SIG. There were no services provided in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Such services aggregated $11,300 during the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding receivables from or payable to SIG. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had no outstanding receivables from or payables to SIG.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred charges of approximately $27,000 related to Kanders Aviation LLC (“Kanders Aviation”), an affiliate of the Company’s Executive Chairman, Warren B. Kanders, relating to aircraft travel by officers of the Company for potential redeployment transactions, pursuant to the Transportation Services Agreement, dated December 18, 2003 between the Company and Kanders Aviation. There were no charges incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had a net payable of $27,000 from Kanders Aviation. The amount due to Kanders Aviation is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding amount was paid in April 2010. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a no outstanding receivables from or payable 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 March 31, 2010, 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 $232.6 million, $1.3 million and $56,000, respectively. 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 $230.6 million of the $232.6 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 $230.6 million of net operating losses available to offset taxable income, approximately $212.5 million does not expire until 2020 or later, subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as indicated by the following schedule:

The foregoing description of the Gregory Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Item 1.01 of the Form 8-K and to the Gregory Merger Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2.2 to the Form 8-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES

The Company's discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these 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 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, 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 consolidated financial statements. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements.

- The Company accounts for 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.

- The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded for those deferred tax assets for which it is not more likely than not that realization will occur.

- The Company records compensation expense for all share-based awards granted based on the fair value of the award at the time of the grant. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable. The Company recognizes the cost of the share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

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 cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which is reported as interest income in the Company's statement of operations.

OPERATING EXPENSES

General and administrative expense include salaries and employee benefits, non-cash equity compensation, rent, insurance, legal, accounting, investment management fees 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 FIRST QUARTER 2010 TO FIRST QUARTER 2009

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 decreased $134,000 or 15% to $789,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2010, compared to $923,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in general and administrative expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2009, was primarily attributable to decreases in employment compensation and benefits, non-cash equity compensation expense offset by increases in state and local non-income based taxes and travel expenses. Management believes we will incur a net loss in 2010 as a result of our current level of expenses and due to low projected investment yields on our investment portfolio. 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 EXPENSES

Transaction expenses increased $1,509,000 or 100% during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 related to asset redeployment activities. The Company did not incur any transaction expenses during the three month period ended March 31, 2009. Transaction expense consists primarily of professional fees and expenses related to due diligence, negotiation and documentation of acquisition, financing and related agreements.

DEPRECIATION EXPENSE

Depreciation expense decreased $10,000 or 11% to $79,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to $89,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in depreciation expense was primarily due to more assets being fully depreciated partially offset by the purchase of new equipment that was not utilized during the quarter.

OTHER EXPENSE

There was no other expense incurred for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income decreased $389,000 or 95% to $22,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 from $411,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Interest income for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, includes $11,000 and $300,000 in discount accretion, respectively. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to lower rates of return on investments. The weighted average interest rate for our investments for the period ended March 31, 2010 was 0.11% compared to 1.94% for same period in 2009. The current earnings rate on our portfolio as of March 31, 2010 is 0.11%.

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 March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The overall combined decrease of $1.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities from $82.4 million to $80.6 million is primarily due to the increase in transaction costs and a decrease in interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2010. Marketable securities decreased to $23.7 million at March 31, 2010 from $24.1 million at December 31, 2009.

Cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to approximately $0.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The $1.8 million consisted primarily of the Company's net loss, a decrease in accounts payables and accrued liabilities, discount amortization offset by non-cash expenses and an increase in interest receivable, prepaids and other current assets.

Cash provided by investing activities was approximately $0.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to approximately $37.9 million provided by investing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to the movement by the Company of additional money from investments to higher yielding money market funds in the prior year, as compared to a smaller shift in capital from marketable securities to cash and cash equivalents in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, cash was provided by the maturity of marketable securities partially offset by additions to equipment.

There was no cash provided by or used in financing activities during the quarters ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our exposures to market risk since December 31, 2009.

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 March 31, 2010, 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 March 31, 2010 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2010 evaluation that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
