CLARUS ANNOUNCES STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF STOCK ACQUISITION RESTRICTIONS FOR
          PROTECTION OF NOL; SECOND QUARTER 2003 EARNINGS RELEASE DATE


GREENWICH, Conn., Jul 25, 2003 -- Clarus Corporation (Nasdaq: CLRS) is pleased
to announce the approval by its stockholders at its annual stockholders meeting
of a proposal to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to restrict certain
acquisitions of Clarus' securities in order to help assure the preservation of
its tax net operating loss carryforward (NOL). Stockholders also approved the
election of Tench Coxe, Donald L. House, Stephen P. Jeffery, Warren B. Kanders,
Burtt R. Ehrlich, and Nicholas Sokolow to its Board of Directors and the
ratification of KPMG LLP as Clarus' independent auditors for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2003.

Because the benefit of Clarus' NOL can be reduced or eliminated if it undergoes
an ownership change of more the 50 percent, Clarus sought approval of the
charter amendment which is designed to prevent such an ownership change. Once
the amendment is filed Clarus' Certificate of Incorporation will generally
restrict direct and indirect acquisitions of its equity securities if such
acquisition will affect the percentage of Clarus capital stock that is treated
as owned by a 5% Stockholder. Executive Chairman Warren B. Kanders stated: "In
addition to our sizable cash position, the tax net operating loss carryforward
is Clarus' most valuable asset. The approval of this amendment is designed to
enhance our ability to preserve the value of the NOL in an effort to maximize
any cash flow generated through our redeployment efforts."

Mr. Kanders continued: "We are pleased that the stockholders have voted
overwhelmingly to support the Board of Directors in our efforts to enhance the
value of their investment, both through the endorsement of the entire slate of
nominees to the Board and through the approval of the proposal to amend our
Certificate of Incorporation. We continue to actively seek targets for
acquisition or merger as part of our previously announced redeployment
strategy."

Clarus plans to release its earnings for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2003
on Friday, August 15, 2003 before the market opens. Management does not plan to
hold a conference call to discuss the earnings release.
