CORRECTION - CLARUS NOL'S $126 MILLION GREENWICH, Conn., Aug 19, 2003, Clarus Corporation (Nasdaq: CLRS) today corrected a typographical error included in its August 18, 2003 press release issued yesterday announcing results for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, which erroneously stated the amount of its net operating loss, capital loss and other tax credit carryforwards. Clarus has approximately $126 million of net operating loss, capital loss and other tax credit carryforwards to offset, to the extent then available, taxable income that Clarus may recognize in the future. The August 18th press release inadvertently reported net operating loss, capital loss and other tax credit carryforwards of $180 million. 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. This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934. Information in this release includes Clarus' beliefs, expectations, intentions and strategies regarding Clarus, its future and its products and services.
