PR Newswire (US)
STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Clarus
Corporation (OTC:CLRS.PK) today announced financial results for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006. Clarus reported no revenues for the
quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net loss for
the second quarter of 2006 was $24,000 or $0.00 per diluted share
compared to a net loss of $516,000 or $0.03 per diluted share
during the comparable period of 2005. As of June 30, 2006, Clarus'
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $83.5 million
(or $4.88 gross cash per share) compared to $84.9 million as of
December 31, 2005. Gross cash per share at June 30, 2006 equals
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $83.5 million
divided by 17.1 million common shares outstanding. Clarus has
provided this Non-GAAP measure because it believes that it is
useful to investors assessing the extent of Clarus' assets
available for redeployment. Clarus is unaware of any comparable
GAAP measure. The results of operations for the quarter ending June
30, 2006 includes a charge of approximately $108,000 for
transaction expenses arising out of negotiations related to an
acquisition process that terminated in June 2006 without Clarus
consummating the acquisition. Transaction expenses represent the
costs incurred during due diligence and negotiation of potential
acquisitions such as legal, accounting and other professional fees
and related expenses. Clarus estimates that it has available net
operating loss, research and experimentation credit and alternative
minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax
purposes of approximately $222.3 million, $1.3 million and $53,000,
respectively, which expire in varying amounts beginning in the year
2009 to the extent not limited under Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Company also has a capital loss carryforward of
$15.2 million which expires in varying amounts beginning in the
year 2007. Nigel Ekern, Clarus' Chief Administrative Officer
stated, "We are pleased with the progress that we have made in
managing administrative and professional expenses in connection
with the continued administration of the public company and
continue our efforts to identify and evaluate suitable acquisition
and merger opportunities as part of our strategy to redeploy our
cash and utilize our NOL's, to the extent available." Clarus does
not currently intend to hold conference calls to discuss quarterly
earnings releases unless and until it consummates an acquisition in
connection with its redeployment strategy. At such time, Clarus
plans to resume holding quarterly conference calls to review
earnings and 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 and
marketable securities to enhance stockholder value. This press
release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934.

intentions and strategies regarding Clarus, its future and its
products and services. Assumptions relating to the 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

results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks including
our inability to execute successfully our planned effort to
redeploy our assets to enhance stockholder value, the
unavailability of our net operating loss carry forward, and that
the unaudited financial information provided in this press release
may be adjusted as a result of the year end audit. Clarus cannot
