FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS





This
report contains certain forward-looking statements, including information about
or related to our future results, certain projections and business trends.
Assumptions relating to 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 predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. When
used in this report, the words "estimate," "project," "intend," "believe,"
"expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any or all of the assumptions could
prove inaccurate, and we may not realize the results contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. Management decisions are subjective in many respects
and susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based upon actual
experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter
our business strategy or capital expenditure plans that may, in turn, affect our
results of operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking information included in this report, you should not regard the
inclusion of such information as our representation that we will achieve any
strategy, objectives or other plans. The forward-looking statements contained in
this report speak only as of the date of this report, and we have no obligation
to update publicly or revise any of these forward-looking
statements.





These and
other statements, which are not historical facts, are based largely upon our
current expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, among others, our planned effort to redeploy our assets and use our
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to enhance stockholder value
following the sale of substantially all of our electronic commerce business,
which represented substantially all of our revenue generating operations and
related assets, and the risks and uncertainties set forth in the section headed
"Risk Factors" of Part I, Item 1A of this report and described in "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of
Part II of this report.  We cannot assure you that we will be
successful in our efforts to redeploy our assets or that any such redeployment
will result in Clarus’ future profitability.  Our failure to redeploy
our assets could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our
common stock and our business, financial condition and results of
operations.





OVERVIEW





Clarus
Corporation ("Clarus" or the "Company," which may be referred to as "we," "us,"
or "our") was formerly a provider of e-commerce business solutions until the
sale of substantially all of its operating assets in December 2002. We are
currently seeking to redeploy our cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities to enhance stockholder value and are seeking, analyzing and
evaluating potential acquisition and merger candidates. We were incorporated in
Delaware in 1991 under the name SQL Financials, Inc.  In August 1998,
we changed our name to Clarus Corporation. Our principal corporate office is
located at One Landmark Square, Stamford, Connecticut 06901 and our telephone
number is (203) 428-2000.





BUSINESS





At the
2002 annual meeting of our stockholders held on May 21, 2002, Warren B. Kanders,
Burtt R. Ehrlich and Nicholas Sokolow were elected by our stockholders to serve
on our Board of Directors. Under the leadership of these directors, our Board of
Directors adopted a strategy of seeking to enhance stockholder value by pursuing
opportunities to redeploy our assets through an acquisition of, or merger with,
an operating business that will serve as a platform company, using our cash,
cash equivalents, marketable securities, other non-operating assets (including,
to the extent available, our net operating loss carryforward) and our
publicly-traded common stock to enhance future growth. The strategy also seeks
to reduce significantly our cash expenditure rate by targeting, to the extent
practicable, our overhead expenses excluding transaction expenses to the amount
of our investment income until the completion of an acquisition or
merger.  Management currently believes, however, that the Company's
operating expenses will exceed investment income during 2010 due to declines in
interest rates and earnings on investments.





As part
of our strategy to enhance stockholder value, on December 6, 2002, we
consummated the sale of substantially all of the assets of our electronic
commerce business, which represented substantially all of our revenue generating
operations and related assets, to Epicor Software Corporation ("Epicor"), a
Delaware corporation, for a purchase price of $1.0 million in cash (the "Asset
Sale"). The sale included licensing, support and maintenance activities from our
eProcurement, Sourcing, View (for eProcurement), eTour (for eProcurement),
ClarusNET, and Settlement software products, our customer lists, certain
contracts and certain intellectual property rights related to the purchased
assets, maintenance payments and certain furniture and
equipment.  Epicor agreed to assume certain of our liabilities, such
as executory obligations arising under
certain contracts, agreements and commitments related to the transferred
assets.


1





Upon the
closing of the sale to Epicor, Warren B. Kanders assumed the position of
Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, Stephen P. Jeffery ceased to serve
as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and James J. McDevitt
ceased to serve as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary. Mr. Jeffery
agreed to continue to serve on the Board of Directors and serve in a consulting
capacity for a period of three years. In addition, the Board of Directors
appointed Nigel P. Ekern as Chief Administrative Officer to oversee the
operations of Clarus and to assist with our asset redeployment
strategy.  Mr. Ekern resigned on December 31, 2006.  Philip
A. Baratelli assumed the role of Chief Financial Officer on February 1,
2007.





On
January 1, 2003, we sold the assets related to our Cashbook product, which were
excluded from the Epicor transaction, to an employee group headquartered in
Limerick, Ireland. This completed the sale of nearly all of our active software
operations as part of our strategy to limit operating losses and enable us to
reposition our business in order to enhance stockholder value. In anticipation
of the redeployment of our assets, our cash equivalents and marketable
securities are being held in short-term, highly rated instruments designed to
preserve safety and liquidity and to exempt us from registration as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.





We are
currently working to identify suitable merger partners or acquisition
opportunities. Although we are not targeting specific industries for potential
acquisitions, we plan to seek businesses with substantial operations and free
cash flow, experienced management teams, and operations in markets offering
substantial growth opportunities.  Historically, our investment
criteria generally included a focus on companies with a transaction value of
between approximately $200 million to over $500 million with levels of earnings
before income tax, taxes, depreciation and amortization of approximately $25
million or greater so as to utilize our available net operating loss tax
carryforwards (“NOLs”). However, due to prevailing market conditions, we have
expanded the scope of our investment criteria to include companies with a lower
transaction value.  We believe that our common stock, which has a
strong institutional stockholder base, offers us flexibility as acquisition
currency and will enhance our attractiveness to potential merger or acquisition
candidates. This strategy is, however, subject to certain risks. See "Risk
Factors" below.





At the
Company's annual stockholders meeting on July 24, 2003, the stockholders
approved an amendment (the "Amendment") to our Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation to restrict certain acquisitions of Clarus' securities in order
to help assure the preservation of our NOLs. Although the transfer restrictions
imposed on our securities are intended to reduce the likelihood of an
impermissible ownership change, no assurance can be given that such restrictions
would prevent all transfers that would result in an impermissible ownership
change. The Amendment generally restricts and requires prior approval of our
Board of Directors of direct and indirect acquisitions of the Company's equity
securities if such acquisition will affect the percentage of our capital stock
that is treated as owned by a 5% stockholder. The restrictions will generally
only affect persons trying to acquire a significant interest in our common
stock.





On
February 7, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a Rights Agreement (the
“Rights Agreement”) which provides for a dividend distribution of one preferred
share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock,
payable to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 12,
2008.  Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the
Company one one-hundredth of a share of our Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a purchase price of
$12.00.  The Rights Agreement is designed to assist in limiting the
number of 5% or more owners and thus reduce the risk of a possible “change of
ownership” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as
amended.  A significant penalty is imposed on any person or group that
acquires 4.9% or more (but less than 50%) of our then-outstanding common stock
without the prior approval of our Board of Directors.  There is no
guaranty that the objective of the Rights Agreement of preserving the NOLs will
be achieved.  There is a possibility that certain transactions may be
completed by stockholders or prospective stockholders that could trigger an
“ownership change.”  The parties to the Rights Agreement, dated as of
February 12, 2008 are Clarus and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as
rights agent.





As of
December 31, 2009, our investment portfolio comprising our cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities was valued at approximately $82.4 million
and consists primarily of United States government agency securities and money
market funds held in a custody account at JP Morgan Chase with a weighted
average maturity of 56 days as of February 26, 2010.  Any reduction in
the amount of our investment portfolio may limit our ability to redeploy our
assets and use our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to acquire
an operating business which could have a material adverse effect on the market
price of our common stock and our business, financial condition and results of
operations.





PRIOR
BUSINESS





Prior to
the sale of substantially all of our operating assets in December 2002, we
developed, marketed and supported Internet-based business-to-business e-commerce
software that automated the procurement, sourcing, and settlement of goods and
services. Our software was designed to help organizations reduce the costs
associated with the purchasing and payment settlement of goods and services, and
help to maximize procurement economies of scale.


2





EMPLOYEES





All of
our employees are based in the United States. As of December 31, 2009, we had a
total of eight employees, all of which are located in our Stamford, Connecticut
headquarters.  Our employees and executive management team devote as
much of their time as is necessary to the affairs of the Company and also serve
in various capacities with other public and private entities.  None of
our employees are represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective
bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider
our relationship with our employees to be good.





Successful
redeployment of our assets is dependent upon the efforts of our executive
management team, in particular Warren B. Kanders, our Executive Chairman of the
Board of Directors. While Mr. Kanders resigned effective July 31, 2007 as
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Armor Holdings, Inc. in connection with
its sale, he and our other employees also serve in various capacities with other
public and private entities, including not-for-profit entities. As previously
disclosed, our employees, including Mr. Kanders devote as much of their time as
is necessary to the affairs of the Company.

ITEM
1A.  RISK FACTORS





In
addition to other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following
risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business because
such factors may have a significant impact on our business, operating results,
liquidity and financial condition. As a result of the risk factors set forth
below, actual results could differ materially from those projected in any
forward-looking statements. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently
known to us, or that we currently consider to be immaterial, may also impact our
business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition. If any of the
following risks occur, our business, operating results, liquidity and financial
condition could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading
price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your
investment.





RISKS
RELATED TO CLARUS CORPORATION





WE
CONTINUE TO INCUR OPERATING LOSSES.





As a
result of the sale of substantially all of our electronic commerce business in
2002, we no longer generate revenue previously associated with the products and
contracts comprising our electronic commerce business. We are not profitable and
have incurred an accumulated deficit of $289.4 million from our inception
through December 31, 2009. Our current ability to generate revenues and to
achieve profitability and positive cash flow will depend on our ability to
redeploy our assets and use our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
to reposition our business whether it is through a merger or acquisition. Our
ability to become profitable will depend, among other things, (i) on our success
in identifying and acquiring a new operating business, (ii) on our development
of new products or services relating to our new operating business, and (iii) on
our success in distributing and marketing our new products or
services.





WE
MAY BE UNABLE TO REDEPLOY OUR ASSETS SUCCESSFULLY.





As part
of our strategy to limit operating losses and enable the Company to redeploy its
assets and use its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to enhance
stockholder value, we sold our electronic commerce business, which represented
substantially all of our revenue generating operations and related assets. We
are pursuing a strategy of identifying suitable merger partners and acquisition
candidates that will serve as a platform company. Although we are not targeting
specific business industries for potential acquisitions, we plan to seek
businesses with operations and free cash flow, experienced management teams, and
operations in markets offering significant growth opportunities. In identifying,
evaluating and selecting a target business for a potential acquisition, we
expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business
objective similar to ours including blank check companies, private equity
groups, venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds, and operating businesses
seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well-established and
have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations
directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess
greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us which give them
a competitive advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target
businesses. We may not be able to successfully identify such a business, obtain
financing for such acquisition, or successfully operate any business that we
identify. Moreover, consummation of a redeployment transaction may result in
loss or limitation of our net operating loss (“NOL”)  carryforwards
and any newly acquired business may not generate sufficient income to fully
utilize the NOL. We have been working without success since December 2002 to
identify a suitable merger partner and consummate an acquisition. Failure to
redeploy our assets successfully will result in our inability to become
profitable.





Even if
we identify an appropriate acquisition opportunity, we may be unable to
negotiate favorable terms for that acquisition or obtain financing on favorable
terms to us for that acquisition. The anticipated results or operational
benefits of any businesses we acquire may not be realized, and we may be unable
to select, manage or absorb or integrate any future acquisitions successfully.
Any acquisition, even if effectively integrated, may not benefit our
stockholders. Any acquisitions that we attempt or complete may involve a number
of unique risks including: (i) executing successful due diligence; (ii) our
exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies; and (iii) our ability
to integrate and absorb the acquired company successfully. We may be unable to
address these problems successfully. If we do effect an acquisition, it is
possible that the financial markets or investors will view the acquisition
negatively. Our failure to redeploy our assets could have a material adverse
effect on the market price of our common stock and our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

RECENT
TURMOIL ACROSS VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE FINANCIAL MARKETS MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT
THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND/OR OPERATING
RESULTS.





Since
2008, the United States as well as global capital and credit markets have been
experiencing a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by the
disruption in credit markets and the availability of credit and other financing,
the failure, bankruptcy, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and
an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States federal
government. While the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, they
may have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain financing necessary
to effectively execute our redeployment strategy and on the market value of our
investment portfolio and otherwise on our ability to redeploy our assets and use
our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to acquire an operating
business, which could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our
common stock and our business, financial condition and results of
operations.





OUR
EFFORTS TO REDEPLOY OUR ASSETS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE
LOSS OF KEY MANAGEMENT OR THE DIVERSION OF OUR MANAGEMENT TO OUTSIDE
INTERESTS.





Our
ability to successfully effect a redeployment of our assets and successfully run
the Company following such a transaction is dependent upon the efforts of key
management, including Warren B. Kanders, our Executive Chairman of the Board of
the Directors. The loss of his services, or the inability of the Company to
continue to retain his services on mutually satisfactory terms, could have a
detrimental effect on the market price of our common stock and our future
business, financial condition and results of operations.





Our
executive employees devote as much of their time as is necessary to the affairs
of the Company and also serve in various capacities with other public and
private entities, including not-for-profit entities affiliated with Kanders
& Company. While management believes these non-exclusive arrangements
benefit the Company by availing itself of certain of the resources of Kanders
& Company, the other business interests of these individuals could limit
their ability to devote time to our affairs.





WE
WILL INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH OUR EVALUATION OF SUITABLE
MERGER PARTNERS AND ACQUISITION CANDIDATES.





As part of our plan to redeploy our
assets, our management is seeking, analyzing and evaluating potential
acquisition and merger candidates. We have incurred and will continue to incur
significant costs, such as legal, accounting, appraisal and other professional
fees incurred for due diligence and preparation and negotiation of
documentation, as part of these redeployment efforts. Notwithstanding these
efforts and expenditures, we cannot give any assurance that we will identify an
appropriate acquisition opportunity in the near term, or at
all.





SINCE
WE HAVE NOT YET SELECTED A PARTICULAR INDUSTRY OR TARGET BUSINESS WITH WHICH TO
REDEPLOY OUR ASSETS, YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO CURRENTLY ASCERTAIN THE MERITS OR
RISKS OF THE INDUSTRY OR BUSINESS IN WHICH WE MAY ULTIMATELY
OPERATE.





Because
we may consummate a merger or acquisition with a company in any industry and are
not limited to any particular type of business there is no current basis for you
to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the particular industry in which we
may ultimately operate or the target business which we may ultimately acquire.
If we complete a merger or acquisition with an entity in an industry
characterized by a high level of risk, we may be affected by the currently
unascertainable risks of that industry. Although our management will endeavor to
evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, we
cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the
significant risk factors. Even if we properly assess those risks, some of them
may be outside of our control or ability to affect. We also cannot assure you
that an investment in our securities will not ultimately prove to be less
favorable to our stockholders than a direct investment, if an opportunity were
available, in a target business.





THE
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER RULES ADOPTED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION RELATING TO SHELL COMPANIES MAY DELAY OR PREVENT US FROM MAKING
CERTAIN ACQUISITIONS.





As a
result of the final rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission on
June 29, 2005, the Company may be deemed to be a shell company. The rules are
designed to ensure that investors in shell companies that acquire operations
have timely access to the same kind of information as is available to investors
in public companies generally. The rules prohibit the use by shell companies of
a Form S-8 and require a shell company to include extensive registration-level
information (similar to the type of disclosure required to register a class of
securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), in
the Form 8-K that the shell company files to report the acquisition of a
business.


5





Such
extensive registration-level information includes a detailed description of a
company’s business and properties, management, executive compensation, related
party transactions, legal proceedings and historical market price information,
as well as audited historical financial statements and management’s discussion
and analysis of results of operations. The revised Form 8-K rules also require a
shell company to file pro forma financial statements giving effect to the
acquisition not later than four business days after completion of the
acquisition, instead of 75 days as required by non-shell companies.





If the
Company were to be deemed a shell company, any increased difficulty in the
Company’s ability to identify and consummate an acquisition with an appropriate
merger candidate can materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to
successfully implement its redeployment strategy.  The time and
additional costs that may be incurred by some acquisition prospects to prepare
such detailed disclosures and obtain audited financial statements may
significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an otherwise
desirable acquisition by the Company, or deter potential targets from
negotiating with the Company.





WE
WILL LIKELY HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY IN OUR NEW LINE OF BUSINESS, WHICH IS YET
TO BE DETERMINED, AND THEREFORE WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE RISKS INHERENT IN
ESTABLISHING A NEW BUSINESS.





We have
not identified what our new line of business will be; therefore, we cannot fully
describe the specific risks presented by such business. It is likely that we
will have had no operating history in the new line of business and it is
possible that the target company may have a limited operating history in its
business. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our future operations will
generate operating or net income, and as such our success will be subject to the
risks, expenses, problems and delays inherent in establishing a new line of
business for the Company. The ultimate success of such new business cannot be
assured.





OUR
ABILITY TO BE SUCCESSFUL AFTER A REDEPLOYMENT OF OUR ASSETS MAY BE DEPENDENT
UPON THE CONTINUED EFFORTS OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM AND KEY PERSONNEL WHO MAY JOIN
US FOLLOWING A REDEPLOYMENT OF OUR ASSETS.





The role
of our management team and key personnel from the target business we acquire
cannot presently be ascertained. While we intend to closely scrutinize any
individuals we engage after a redeployment of our assets, we cannot assure you
that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct. These
individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public
company which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping them
become familiar with such requirements. This could be expensive and
time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues which may adversely
affect our operations.





AS A RESULT OF AN ASSET REDEPLOYMENT WE
MAY BE REQUIRED TO SUBSEQUENTLY TAKE WRITE-DOWNS OR WRITE-OFFS, RESTRUCTURING,
AND IMPAIRMENT OR OTHER CHARGES THAT COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE EFFECT ON
OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND OUR STOCK PRICE, WHICH COULD
CAUSE YOU TO LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT.





We must conduct a due diligence
investigation of the target businesses we intend to acquire. Intensive due
diligence is time consuming and expensive due to the operations, accounting,
finance and legal professionals who must be involved in the due diligence
process. Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a target business with
which we combine, we cannot assure you that this diligence will reveal all
material issues that may affect a particular target business, or that factors
outside the control of the target business and outside of our control will not
later arise. If our diligence fails to identify issues specific to a target
business, industry or the environment in which the target business operates, we
may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our
operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our
reporting losses. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have
an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this
nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our common
stock. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or
other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing
debt held by a target business or by virtue of our obtaining post-combination
debt financing.





WE
MAY BE UNABLE TO REALIZE THE BENEFITS OF OUR NOL AND TAX CREDIT
CARRYFORWARDS.





NOLs may
be carried forward to offset federal and state taxable income in future years
and eliminate income taxes otherwise payable on such taxable income, subject to
certain adjustments. Based on current federal corporate income tax rates, our
NOL and other carryforwards could provide a benefit to us, if fully utilized, of
significant future tax savings. However, our ability to use these tax benefits
in future years will depend upon the amount of our otherwise taxable income. If
we do not have sufficient taxable income in future years to use the tax benefits
before they expire, we will lose the benefit of these NOL carryforwards
permanently. Consequently, our ability to use the tax benefits associated with
our substantial NOL will depend significantly on our success in identifying
suitable merger partners and/or acquisition candidates, and once identified,
successfully consummate a merger with and/or acquisition of these
candidates.


6




Additionally,
if we underwent an ownership change, the NOL carryforward limitations would
impose an annual limit on the amount of the taxable income that may be offset by
our NOL generated prior to the ownership change. If an ownership change were to
occur, we may be unable to use a significant portion of our NOL to offset
taxable income. In general, an ownership change occurs when, as of any testing
date, the aggregate of the increase in percentage points of the total amount of
a corporation's stock owned by "5-percent stockholders" within the meaning of
the NOL carryforward limitations whose percentage ownership of the stock has
increased as of such date over the lowest percentage of the stock owned by each
such "5-percent stockholder" at any time during the three-year period preceding
such date is more than 50 percentage points. In general, persons who own 5% or
more of a corporation's stock are "5-percent stockholders," and all other
persons who own less than 5% of a corporation's stock are treated together as a
public group.





The
amount of NOL and tax credit carryforwards that we have claimed has not been
audited or otherwise validated by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).
The IRS could challenge our calculation of the amount of our NOL or our
determinations as to when a prior change in ownership occurred and other
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code may limit our ability to carry forward
our NOL to offset taxable income in future years. If the IRS was successful with
respect to any such challenge, the potential tax benefit of the NOL
carryforwards to us could be substantially reduced.





CERTAIN
PROTECTIVE MEASURES IMPLEMENTED BY US TO PRESERVE OUR NOL MAY NOT BE EFFECTIVE
OR MAY HAVE SOME UNINTENDED NEGATIVE EFFECTS.





On July
24, 2003, at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved an
amendment (the "Amendment") to our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to restrict certain acquisitions of our securities in order to
help assure the preservation of our NOL. The Amendment generally restricts
direct and indirect acquisitions of our equity securities if such acquisition
will affect the percentage of the Company’s capital stock that is treated as
owned by a "5% stockholder." Additionally, on February 7, 2008, our Board of
Directors approved a Rights Agreement which is designed to assist in limiting
the number of 5% or more owners and thus reduce the risk of a possible “change
of ownership” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as
amended.





Although
the transfer restrictions imposed on our capital stock and the Rights Agreement
are intended to reduce the likelihood of an impermissible ownership change,
there is no guarantee that such protective measures would prevent all transfers
that would result in an impermissible ownership change. These protective
measures also will require any person attempting to acquire a significant
interest in us to seek the approval of our Board of Directors. This may have an
"anti-takeover" effect because our Board of Directors may be able to prevent any
future takeover. Similarly, any limits on the amount of capital stock that a
stockholder may own could have the effect of making it more difficult for
stockholders to replace current management. Additionally, because protective
measures implemented by us to preserve our NOL will have the effect of
restricting a stockholder's ability to acquire our common stock, the liquidity
and market value of our common stock might suffer.





IF
WE EFFECT AN ACQUISITION OR MERGER WITH A COMPANY LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED
STATES, WE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO A VARIETY OF ADDITIONAL RISKS THAT MAY NEGATIVELY
IMPACT OUR FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.





We may
effect an acquisition or merger with a company that has operations located
outside of the United States. If we did, we would be subject to any special
considerations or risks associated with companies operating in the target
business’ home jurisdiction, including any of the following:





• rules
and regulations or currency conversion or corporate withholding taxes on
individuals;





• tariffs
and trade barriers;





•
regulations related to customs and import/export matters;





• longer
payment cycles;





• tax
issues, such as tax law changes and variations in tax laws as compared to the
United States;





•
currency fluctuations and exchange controls;





•
challenges in collecting accounts receivable;





•
cultural and language differences;





•
employment regulations;


7





• the
possibility of our assets being nationalized;





• crime,
strikes, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist attacks and wars; and





•
deterioration of political relations with the United States.





We cannot
assure you that we would be able to adequately address these additional risks
which
could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and
our business, financial condition and results of operations.





IF
WE EFFECT AN ACQUISITION OR MERGER WITH A COMPANY LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED
STATES, THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO SUCH COMPANY WILL LIKELY GOVERN ALL OF OUR
MATERIAL AGREEMENTS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ENFORCE OUR LEGAL
RIGHTS.





If we
effect an acquisition or merger with a company located outside of the United
States, the laws of the country in which such company operates will govern
almost all of the material agreements relating to its operations. We cannot
assure you that the target business will be able to enforce any of its material
agreements or that remedies will be available in this new jurisdiction. The
system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws in such jurisdiction may not
be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The
inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could
result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.
Additionally, if we acquire a company located outside of the United States, it
is likely that substantially all of our assets would be located outside of the
United States and some of our officers and directors might reside outside of the
United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors in the United
States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon our
directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated
upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of our directors and officers
under Federal securities laws.





COMPLIANCE
WITH THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002 WILL REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL AND
MANAGEMENT RESOURCES AND MAY INCREASE THE TIME AND COSTS OF COMPLETING AN
ACQUISITION.





Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we evaluate and report on
our system of internal controls and requires that we have such system of
internal controls audited. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal
controls, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal
penalties and/or stockholder litigation. Any inability to provide reliable
financial reports could harm our business. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
also requires that our independent registered public accounting firm report on
management’s evaluation of our system of internal controls. An acquisition
target may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal
controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such acquisition.
Furthermore, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or
difficulties encountered in the implementation of adequate controls over our
financial processes and reporting in the future, could harm our operating
results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal
controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial
information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our
stock.





THE
COMPANY’S INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO CONSISTS OF SHORT-TERM, UNSECURED UNITED STATES
AGENCY DEBT AND MONEY MARKET FUNDS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO CREDIT RISK.





The
Company’s investment portfolio includes a significant amount of short-term,
unsecured debt issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie
Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) as well as
money market funds. Although Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been chartered by
the United States Congress and are most commonly referred to as
government-sponsored enterprises, their guarantees are not by backed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. government. As a result of the subprime mortgage
crisis of late 2007 and 2008, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were adversely affected
and on September 8, 2008 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed into
conservatorship by the U.S. government and also took other related actions to
prevent the collapse of both corporations. If these government actions prove to
be inadequate and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to suffer losses or cease
to exist, the value of the Company’s investment portfolio could be materially
adversely affected.





While the
Company continues to monitor the value of its investment portfolio and its
investment in government-sponsored enterprises, we cannot give any assurance
that we will not suffer any future losses to our investment portfolio as a
result of our ownership of government-sponsored enterprises. Any reduction in
the amount of our investment portfolio may limit our ability to redeploy our
assets and use our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to acquire
an operating business which could have a material adverse effect on the market
price of our common stock and our business, financial condition and results of
operations.


8





WE
COULD BE REQUIRED TO REGISTER AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT
COMPANY ACT OF 1940, WHICH COULD SIGNIFICANTLY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE AND
ACQUIRE AN ESTABLISHED BUSINESS.





The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"Investment Company Act") requires registration, as an investment company, for
companies that are engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting,
owning, holding or trading securities. We have sought to qualify for an
exclusion from registration including the exclusion available to a company that
does not own "investment securities" with a value exceeding 40% of the value of
its total assets on an unconsolidated basis, excluding government securities and
cash items. This exclusion, however, could be disadvantageous to us and/or our
stockholders. If we were unable to rely on an exclusion under the Investment
Company Act and were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment
Company Act, we would be forced to comply with substantive requirements of the
Investment Company Act, including: (i) limitations on our ability to borrow;
(ii) limitations on our capital structure; (iii) restrictions on acquisitions of
interests in associated companies; (iv) prohibitions on transactions with
affiliates; (v) restrictions on specific investments; (vi) limitations on our
ability to issue stock options; and (vii) compliance with reporting, record
keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations. Registration
as an investment company would subject us to restrictions that would
significantly impair our ability to pursue our fundamental business strategy of
acquiring and operating an established business. In the event the Securities and
Exchange Commission or a court took the position that we were an investment
company, our failure to register as an investment company would not only raise
the possibility of an enforcement action by the Securities and Exchange
Commission or an adverse judgment by a court, but also could threaten the
validity of corporate actions and contracts entered into by us during the period
we were deemed to be an unregistered investment company. Moreover, the
Securities and Exchange Commission could seek an enforcement action against us
to the extent we were not in compliance with the Investment Company Act during
any point in time.





IF
WE CANNOT OBTAIN DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY INSURANCE IN ACCEPTABLE AMOUNTS
FOR ACCEPTABLE RATES, WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY RECRUITING AND RETAINING QUALIFIED
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.





Like most
other public companies, we carry insurance protecting our officers and directors
against claims relating to the conduct of our business. This insurance covers,
among other things, the costs incurred by companies and their management to
defend against and resolve claims relating to management conduct and results of
operations, such as securities class action claims. These claims typically are
expensive to defend against and resolve. We pay significant premiums to acquire
and maintain this insurance, which is provided by third-party insurers, and we
agree to underwrite a portion of such exposures under the terms of the insurance
coverage. One consequence of the current economic downturn and decline in stock
prices has been a substantial increase in the number of securities class actions
and similar claims brought against public corporations and their management,
including the company and certain of its current and former officers and
directors. Consequently, insurers providing director and officer liability
insurance have in recent periods sharply increased the premiums they charge for
this insurance, raised retentions (that is, the amount of liability that a
company is required to pay to defend and resolve a claim before any applicable
insurance is provided), and limited the amount of insurance they will provide.
We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to obtain sufficient
director and officer liability insurance coverage at acceptable rates and with
acceptable deductibles and other limitations. Failure to obtain such insurance
could materially harm our financial condition in the event that we are required
to defend against and resolve any future or existing securities class actions or
other claims made against us or our management arising from the conduct of our
operations. Furthermore, the inability to obtain such insurance in adequate
amounts may impair our future ability to retain and recruit qualified officers
and directors, which could have a material adverse effect on the market price of
our common stock and our business, financial condition and results of
operations.





RISKS
RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK





OUR
COMMON STOCK IS NO LONGER LISTED ON THE NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET.





On
October 5, 2004, our common stock was delisted from the NASDAQ National Market.
The delisting followed a determination by the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications
Panel that the Company was a "public shell" and should be delisted due to policy
concerns raised under NASDAQ Marketplace Rules 4300 and 4300(a)(3). Additional
information concerning the delisting is set forth in the Company's Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October
4, 2004. The Company's common stock is now quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets
Electronic Quotation Service under the symbol "CLRS.PK." As a result of the
delisting, stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain
accurate quotations as to the price of, our common stock, the liquidity of our
stock may be reduced, making it difficult for a stockholder to buy or sell our
stock at competitive market prices or at all, we may lose support from
institutional investors and/or market makers that currently buy and sell our
stock and the price of our common stock could decline.





WE
ARE VULNERABLE TO VOLATILE MARKET CONDITIONS.





The
market prices of our common stock have been highly volatile. The market has from
time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are
unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies, especially over
the last few years. Please see the table contained in Item 5 of Part II of this
Report which sets forth the range of high and low closing prices of our common
stock for the calendar quarters indicated.

WE
DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE.





Although
our stockholders may receive dividends if, as and when declared by our Board of
Directors, we do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not purchase our common stock if you
need immediate or future income by way of dividends from your
investment.





OUR
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AUTHORIZES THE ISSUANCE OF
SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK.





Our
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that our Board of
Directors will be authorized to issue from time to time, without further
stockholder approval, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more
series and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series,
including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights,
terms of redemption, including sinking fund provisions, redemption price or
prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series
or designations of any series. Such shares of preferred stock could have
preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends and liquidation
rights. We may issue additional preferred stock in ways which may delay, defer
or prevent a change in control of the Company without further action by our
stockholders. Such shares of preferred stock may be issued with voting rights
that may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock by
increasing the number of outstanding shares having voting rights, and by the
creation of class or series voting rights.





WE
MAY ISSUE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE FUTURE, WHICH COULD
CAUSE DILUTION TO CURRENT INVESTORS AND OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK
PRICE.





A key
element of our growth strategy is to make acquisitions. As part of our
acquisition strategy, we may issue additional shares of common stock as
consideration for such acquisitions. These issuances could be significant. To
the extent that we make acquisitions and issue our shares of common stock as
consideration, your equity interest in us will be diluted. Any such issuance
will also increase the number of outstanding shares of common stock that will be
eligible for sale in the future. Persons receiving shares of our common stock in
connection with these acquisitions may be more likely to sell off their common
stock, which may influence the price of our common stock. In addition, the
potential issuance of additional shares in connection with anticipated
acquisitions could lessen demand for our common stock and result in a lower
price than might otherwise be obtained. We may issue common stock in the future
for other purposes as well, including in connection with financings, for
compensation purposes, in connection with strategic transactions or for other
purposes.

PERFORMANCE
GRAPH





Set forth
below is a line graph comparing the yearly percentage change in the cumulative
total stockholder return on our common stock to the cumulative total return of
the NASDAQ National Market Composite and The Russell 2000 Index for the period
commencing on December 31, 2004 and ending on December 31, 2009 (the “Measuring
Period”).  The graph assumes that the value of the investment in our
common stock and each index was $100 on December 31, 2004.  The yearly
change in cumulative total return is measured by dividing (1) the sum of (i) the
cumulative amount of dividends for the Measuring Period, assuming dividend
reinvestment, and (ii) the change in share price between the beginning and end
of the Measuring Period, by (2) the share price at the beginning of the
Measuring Period.





The
Company considered providing a comparison consisting of a group of peer
companies in an industry or line-of-business similar to us, but could not
reasonably identify a group of comparable peer companies that the Company
believed would provide our stockholders with a meaningful
comparison.  The stock price performance on the following graph is not
necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS





This
Report contains certain forward-looking statements, including information about
or related to our future results, certain projections and business trends.
Assumptions relating to 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 predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. When
used in this Report, the words "estimate," "project," "intend," "believe,"
"expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any or all of the assumptions could
prove inaccurate, and we may not realize the results contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. Management decisions are subjective in many respects
and susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based upon actual
experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter
our business strategy or capital expenditure plans that may, in turn, affect our
results of operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking information included in this Report, you should not regard the
inclusion of such information as our representation that we will achieve any
strategy, objectives or other plans. The forward-looking statements contained in
this report speak only as of the date of this Report, and we have no obligation
to update publicly or revise any of these forward-looking
statements.





These and
other statements, which are not historical facts, are based largely upon our
current expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, among others, our planned effort to redeploy our assets and use our
substantial cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to enhance
stockholder value following the sale of substantially all of our electronic
commerce business, which represented substantially all of our revenue generating
operations and related assets, and the risks and uncertainties set forth in the
section headed "Risk Factors" of Part I, Item 1A of this Report and described in
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" of Part II of this Report.  We cannot assure you that we
will be successful in our efforts to redeploy our assets or that any such
redeployment will result in Clarus’ future profitability.  Our failure
to redeploy our assets could have a material adverse effect on the market price
of our common stock and our business, financial condition and results of
operations.





OVERVIEW





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.  RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND ANY FUTURE
PERIODS PRIOR TO A REDEPLOYMENT OF OUR ASSETS ARE EXPECTED PRIMARILY TO REFLECT
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES AND TRANSACTION EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE
CONTINUING ADMINISTRATION OF THE COMPANY AND ITS EFFORTS TO REDEPLOY ITS
ASSETS.





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.




15


- 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.





COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BETWEEN THE
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008





On
December 6, 2002, the Company completed the disposition of substantially all of
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.





REVENUES





Total
revenues for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were zero.





GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE





General
and administrative expenses decreased $920,000 or 20%, to $3.6 million during
the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $4.5 million during the year ended
December 31, 2008.  The decrease in general and administrative expense
for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31,
2008 was primarily attributable to decreases in employment compensation and
benefits thru head count and certain salary reductions, non-cash equity
compensation expense, consulting fees, accounting fees, travel expenses,
investment custody fees, and other non-transaction related professional services
offset by increases in state and local non income based
taxes.  Management expects that the Company will incur a net loss in
fiscal 2010 based on our current level of expenses and low projected investment
yields on our investment portfolio.





TRANSACTION
EXPENSE





During
the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized $1.6 million in
transaction expenses arising out of a significant negotiation and due diligence
review of a proposed transaction relating to the Company’s redeployment
strategy, which involved an acquisition of several major assets and a financing
component, that terminated without consummation.  The transaction
expenses include legal, accounting and other professional fees incurred for due
diligence, and preparation and negotiation of documentation.  The
Company did not incur any transaction expenses for the year ended December 31,
2008.





DEPRECIATION
EXPENSE





Depreciation
expense decreased $14,000 or 4%, to $342,000 for the year ended December 31,
2009, compared to $356,000 in the year ended December 31,
2008.   The decrease is primarily attributable to the disposal of
computer equipment and reduced capital expenditures.





16




OTHER
INCOME (LOSS)





The
Company did not record any other income or loss for the year ended December 31,
2009.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a
loss of $2,000 from the disposal of equipment.





INTEREST
INCOME





Interest
income decreased $1.8 million or 72%, to $0.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2009 compared to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, includes $0.5
million and $1.9 million in discount amortization, respectively.  The
decrease in interest income was due primarily to lower rates of return on
investments as well as lower levels of cash available for
investment.   The weighted average interest rate for our
investments for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 0.83% compared to 2.89% for
the year ended December 31, 2008.  The current earnings rate as of
December 31, 2009 is 0.13%.





As of
March 5, 2010, the current yield on the Company’s portfolio is
0.10%.





INCOME
TAXES





For the
year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded a benefit from federal income
taxes of $6,000 that resulted from credits incurred with the processing of the
2008 federal income tax return which was filed in March 2009.  There
was no provision or benefit for income taxes recorded in the year ended December
31, 2008.





COMPARISON
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BETWEEN THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND
2007





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.





REVENUES





Total
revenues for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were zero.





GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE





General
and administrative expenses increased $750,000 or 20%, to $4.5 million during
the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $3.8 million during the year ended
December 31, 2007.  The increase in general and administrative expense
for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31,
2007 was primarily attributable to increases in non-cash equity compensation
expense, investment custody fees, employment compensation and benefits, and
consulting fees offset by decreases in state and local non income based taxes,
rent, and insurance expense.





TRANSACTION
EXPENSE





Transaction
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were zero compared to a credit
balance of $13,000 during the same period in 2007.  During the year
ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred approximately $12,000 in expenses
and credits of $25,000 related to acquisition negotiations and due diligence
processes that terminated without the consummation of an
acquisition.





DEPRECIATION
EXPENSE





Depreciation
expense decreased $3,000 or 1%, to $356,000 for the year ended December 31,
2008, compared to $359,000 in the year ended December 31,
2007.   The decrease is primarily attributable to the disposal of
computer equipment.





OTHER
INCOME (LOSS)





For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a loss of $2,000 from the
disposal of equipment compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 when the
Company recorded a loss of $6,000 from the disposal of equipment.





17




INTEREST
INCOME





Interest
income decreased $1.7 million or 42%, to $2.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2008 compared to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, includes $1.9
million and $2.9 million in discount accretion and premium amortization,
respectively.  The decrease in interest income was due primarily to
lower rates of return on investments as well as lower levels of cash available
for investment.   The weighted average interest rate for our
investments for the year ended December 31, 2008 was 2.89% compared to 4.95% for
the year ended December 31, 2007.  The current earnings rate as of
December 31, 2008 was 2.58%.





The
current earnings rate as of January 31, 2009 was 2.08%.  As of
February 12, 2009, the current yield on the Company’s portfolio was 2.01% down
0.07% from January 31, 2009, due to declining interest rates.





INCOME
TAXES





As a
result of the operating losses incurred since the Company's inception, no
provision or benefit for income taxes was recorded in the year ended December
31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007, when the Company recorded
a provision of $3,000 for income taxes.  The income tax provision in
2007 was a result of the federal alternative minimum tax
provisions.





LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES





The
overall combined decrease of $3.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities from $86.0 million to $82.4 million is primarily due to
the increase in transaction expenses and decrease in interest income partially
offset by a decline in operating expenses for the twelve month period ended
December 31, 2009.  The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased
to $58.4 million at December 31, 2009 from $19.3 million at December 31, 2008
due to a shift in the composition of the investment portfolio to marketable
securities.  Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a
shorter duration, less than three months.  Marketable securities
decreased to $24.1 million at December 31, 2009 from $66.7 million at December
31, 2008.





Cash used
in operating activities was approximately $3.7 million during the year ended
December 31, 2009 compared to cash used by operating activities of approximately
$3.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2008.  The increase in
cash used by operations was primarily attributable to the Company’s net loss and
an increase accrued interest receivable, prepaids and other current assets
offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, discount
amortization and deferred rent and other non-cash items.  Management
currently believes, however, that the Company's operating expenses will exceed
investment income during 2010, due to the low interest rate
environment.





Cash
provided by investing activities was approximately $42.7 million during the year
ended December 31, 2009.  The cash was provided by the maturity of
marketable securities partially offset by the purchase of marketable
securities.  Cash used by investing activities was approximately $19.1
million during the year ended December 31, 2008.  The cash was used
for the purchase of marketable securities and additions to computer and office
equipment partially offset by the maturity of marketable
securities.





There was
no cash provided by financing activities during the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008.  There were no stock option exercises during the years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.





We
believe our working capital will continue to be sufficient to fund our
operations until such time we identify an appropriate acquisition opportunity as
part of our asset redeployment strategy.  However, we may need to
obtain financing to effectively execute our redeployment strategy and consummate
a merger or acquisition.  Additionally, following the redeployment of
our assets, if our cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain
additional financing in order to meet such future working capital
obligations.





The
Company recorded total non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately
$268,000 related to unvested restricted stock for the years ended December 31,
2009, 2008 and 2007.  For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and
2007, the Company incurred compensation expense of approximately $222,000,
$409,000 and $176,000 respectively, related to stock options.





On July
1, 2009, the Company accelerated the vesting of 100,000 options originally
issued December 13, 2007 to a terminated employee.  As part of the
severance agreement, the expiration period of these options was extended until
June 30, 2010.  The total decrease to non-cash equity compensation
related to these options was $90,000 which was recorded in general and
administrative expenses.





On May
28, 2009 and June 18, 2009, the Company issued 63,750 and 60,000 stock options,
respectively, under the Company’s 2005 Plan, to directors of the
Company.  The options issued on May 28, 2009 were fully vested on the
date of grant and the vesting period for the options granted June 18, 2009 is
quarterly beginning June 30, 2009 over one year.  For computing the
fair value of the stock- based
awards, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following

Using
these assumptions, the fair value of the stock options granted was approximately
$125,500 which was expensed immediately or will be amortized over the vesting
period of the options.





On
September 24, 2008, the Company issued 60,000 stock options, under the Company’s
2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), to directors of the
Company.  The stock options vested and became exercisable in four
equal consecutive quarterly tranches commencing on September 30,
2008.  For computing the fair value of the stock-based awards, the
fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions:

Using
these assumptions, the fair value of the stock options granted during the year
ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $96,750 which was amortized over the
vesting period of the options.





On
December 13, 2007, the Company issued 430,000 stock options, under the Company’s
2005 Plan, to directors and employees of the Company.  The vesting
period for 150,000 options issued to directors was one year and four years for
the remaining 280,000 options issued to employees.  For computing the
fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has
been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following assumptions:

                    $
                    2.77





Using
these assumptions, the fair value of the stock options granted during the year
ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $1.1 million which will be amortized
over the vesting period of the options.





The
expected life in years is based on the “simplified” calculation provided for in
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The simplified method determines the
expected life in years based on the vesting period and contractual terms as set
forth when the award is made. The Company continues to use the simplified method
for awards of stock-based compensation after January 1, 2008 as permitted
by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 110 (“SAB No. 110”), since it does not
have the necessary historical exercise and forfeiture data to determine an
expected life for stock options.





At
December 31, 2009, 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 $231.9 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 $228.3 million of the $231.9 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 $228.3
million of net operating losses available to offset taxable income,
approximately $211.9 million does not begin to expire until 2020 or later,
subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as indicated
by the following schedule:

Our
corporate headquarters is currently located in Stamford, Connecticut where we
lease approximately 8,600 square feet for $29,218 a month during 2009, pursuant
to a lease that includes annual rent escalations, which expires on March 31,
2019.





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.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK





We do not
hold derivative financial investments, derivative commodity investments, engage
in foreign currency hedging or other transactions that expose us to material
market risk.  Our investment portfolio consists primarily of United
States government agency securities and money market funds held in a custody
account at JP Morgan Chase with a weighted average maturity of 59 days as of
March 5, 2010.  The Company has continued to monitor its investment in
U.S. Government Agency securities and money market funds and has not incurred
any losses.  The Company’s investment portfolio includes a significant
amount of short-term, unsecured debt issued by the Federal National Mortgage
Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(“Freddie Mac”).  We believe investments in U.S. Government Agency
securities and money market funds are stable and provide an increased yield over
similar duration U.S. Treasury securities.  As a result of the
subprime mortgage crisis of late 2007 and 2008, on September 8, 2008, Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac were placed into conservatorship by the U.S. government which
gives the U.S. government control and oversight over management of Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac and the U.S. government also took other related actions to
prevent the collapse of both corporations. If these government actions prove to
be inadequate and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to suffer losses or cease
to exist, the value of the Company’s investment portfolio could be materially
adversely affected.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




The
Board of Directors and Stockholders


of
Clarus Corporation:





We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Clarus Corporation and
subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and
comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2009. We also have audited the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these
consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting based on our audits.




We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting
included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinions.




A
company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of
the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.




Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.




In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in
our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on
criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO).

CLARUS
CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


December
31, 2009, 2008 and 2007





1.
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





ORGANIZATION





Clarus
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, (the "Company") prior
to the sale of substantially all of its operating assets in December 2002,
developed, marketed, and supported Internet-based business-to-business
electronic commerce solutions that automated the procurement and management of
operating resources.





During
2002, the Company adopted a strategic plan to sell or abandon all active
software operations and redeploy Company capital to enhance stockholder value.
On December 6, 2002, the Company sold substantially all of its software
operations (comprised of the eProcurement, Sourcing and Settlement product
lines) to Epicor Software Corporation for $1.0 million in cash. Separately, on
January 1, 2003, the Company sold the assets related to the Cashbook product,
which were excluded from the Epicor transaction, to an employee group
headquartered in Limerick, Ireland. Therefore, as of December 31, 2002, the
Company had discontinued or abandoned substantially all software
operations.





Management
now consists of three corporate officers and a support staff of five, all of
whom are located in Stamford, Connecticut. Management is now engaged in
analyzing and evaluating potential acquisition and merger candidates as part of
its strategy to redeploy its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to
enhance stockholder value.





BASIS
OF PRESENTATION





The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated. The Company's subsidiaries previously included Clarus CSA, Inc.,
Clarus International, Inc., SAI Recruitment Limited, SAI (Ireland) Limited,
Clarus eMEA Ltd., i2Mobile.com Limited, SAI America Limited, REDEO Technologies,
Inc., Software Architects International, Limited and SAI America
LLC.  As of December 31, 2009, all of these subsidiaries have been
dissolved.





USE
OF ESTIMATES





The
preparation of these financial statements requires 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 financial statements.
Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions
including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets,
the fair value and 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.





CASH
AND CASH EQUIVALENTS





The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had
approximately $58.4 million in cash and cash equivalents included in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2009 of
which zero represents cash equivalents.  For the period ended December
31, 2008 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the Company had $19.3
million in cash and cash equivalents of which zero represented cash
equivalents.





MARKETABLE
SECURITIES





Marketable
securities for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, consist of
government notes and bonds.  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.





FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS





The
Company’s financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, marketable
securities and payables, all of which are short-term in nature and accordingly
approximate fair value.  Fair value is defined by the ASC as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date.  The ASC also establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The valuation
techniques required by


29





ASC are
based upon observable and unobservable inputs.  Observable inputs
reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs
reflect our market assumptions.  These two types of inputs create the
following fair value hierarchy:




Level
      1 -
              Quoted
      prices identical instruments in active marketsLevel
      2 -
              Quoted
      prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for
      identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
      model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant
      value drivers are observable.





Level
      3 -
            Significant
      inputs to the valuation model are
unobservable.





All of
the Company’s marketable securities are Level 1 type assets.





The
Company uses financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The
carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable approximates
fair value. Marketable securities are Level 1 type assets and carried at fair
value as determined by an observable market value. The fair value of the
Company's investments in privately held companies is not readily available. The
Company believes the fair values of these investments in privately held
companies approximated their respective carrying values of zero at December 31,
2009 and 2008.





PROPERTY
AND EQUIPMENT





Property
and equipment consists of furniture and fixtures, computers and other office
equipment and leasehold improvements. These assets are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over periods ranging from one to eight years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life or the term of
the lease.





Property
and equipment are summarized as follows (in thousands):

expense related to property and equipment totaled $342,000, $356,000 and
$359,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.





INVESTMENTS





Prior to
2002, the Company made several equity investments in privately held companies.
The Company's equity ownership in these entities ranged from 2.5% to 12.5%.
These investments were accounted for using the cost method of accounting. The
Company did not recognize any income from these companies during 2009, 2008 or
2007. The Company continues to retain ownership interest in several of the
companies although they have been written down to a zero cost basis in the
Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.





LONG-LIVED
ASSETS





Long-lived
assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles assets
subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an
asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Assets to


30





be
disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and would be no
longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as
held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and
liability sections of the balance sheet.

STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION PLAN





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.





INCOME
TAXES





Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.  We continually assess the need for a tax valuation allowance
based on all available information.  As of December 31, 2009, and as a
result of this assessment, we do not believe that our deferred tax assets are
more likely than not to be realized.





NET
(LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE





Basic net
income (loss) per share was computed by dividing earnings (loss) on common stock
by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the
year.  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 the year, plus the effect of outstanding
stock options and restricted stock grants.  The diluted net income
(loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 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 years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The effects of the
incremental shares are as follows (in thousands):

Options
to purchase 123,750 shares of common stock at $4.00 to $4.06 per share were
outstanding as of December 31, 2009, but were not included in the computation of
diluted EPS because the options were anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2009.  Options to purchase 1,845,000 shares of
common stock at $5.01 to $10.00 were outstanding as of December 31, 2009, but
were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were
anti-dilutive as their market price was greater than the average market price of
the common shares of $4.19 for the year ended December 31, 2009.





Options
to purchase 450,000 shares of common stock at $5.01 to $5.50 per share were
outstanding as of December 31, 2008, but were not included in the computation of
diluted EPS because the options were anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2008.  Options to purchase 1,458,750 shares of
common stock at $5.98 to $10.00 were outstanding as of December 31, 2008, but
were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options were
anti-dilutive as their market price was greater than the average market price of
the common shares of $5.52 for the year ended December 31, 2008.





For
fiscal 2007, diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders
included the dilutive effect of options to purchase 1,298,750 shares of the
Company’s common stock and 500,000 shares of restricted stock as these
securities were potentially dilutive in computing net income per
share.  Diluted net income per share for fiscal 2007 excluded the
anti-dilutive effect of options to purchase 550,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock whose exercise prices were higher than the average market price of
the Company’s common stock of $7.80 for the year ended December 31,
2007.





COMPREHENSIVE
INCOME (LOSS)





Comprehensive
income (loss) primarily consists of net income (loss) and unrealized gains and
losses from available-for-sale marketable securities.  Comprehensive
income (loss) is presented in the consolidated statements of stockholders'
equity and comprehensive loss.





SEGMENT
AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION





The
Company has determined that during 2009, 2008 and 2007 the Company operated in
one principal business segment.  Due to the sale of our operating
assets as discussed in “Prior Business”, the Company is a holding
company.





Geographically,
property and equipment as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were all located
in the United States.  The carrying value of property and equipment
net, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively,
were $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.





NEW
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS





Effective
for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009, The FASB
Accounting Standards CodificationTM became the source of authoritative
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles recognized by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to be applied to nongovernmental
entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of
federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP to SEC
registrants.  On the effective date, the Codification superseded, but did
not change, all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards, and
all other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
codification became nonauthoritative.  Transition to the Codification did
not affect Clarus’ results of operations, cash flows or financial
positions.  This Form 10-K reflects the implementation of the
Codification.




In May
2009, the FASB issued updated guidance that establishes general standards of
accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or available to be
issued.  Specifically, the updated guidance provides: the period after
the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should
evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity
should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date
in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity should make
about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet
date.  The Company adopted the updated guidance in June
2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.




In April
of 2009, the Company adopted new guidance which amended previous
other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the
guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of
other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial
statements. This guidance modified previous requirements recognizing
other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities but did not amend existing
recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments
of equity securities.   The adoption did not have an impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.




32


In
September 2006, the FASB issued guidance on Fair Value Measurements which
establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements.  The guidance related to financial instruments
that are already required or permitted to be recognized or disclosed at fair
value on a recurring basis was effective for the Company on January 1,
2008.  The guidance related to fair value measurement and disclosure
requirements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities was effective for the
Company on January 1, 2009.  The partial adoption of this
pronouncement in 2008 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.  Adopting the remainder of the provisions in 2009 did not have
an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.




On
January 1, 2009, Clarus adopted guidance related to business combinations. 
This guidance establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a
business combination: (1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements
the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (2) recognizes and measures the
goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase;
and (3) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination.  In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance further clarifying
the application of the standard.  The guidance primarily relates to
business combinations entered into after December 31, 2009.  The
adoption of this pronouncement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements and is not anticipated to affect the Company until an
acquisition is completed.




2. MARKETABLE
SECURITIES




As of
December 31, 2009, and 2008, those investments with an original maturity of
three months or less are classified as cash equivalents and those investments
with original maturities beyond three months are classified as marketable
securities. The Company has classified all of its marketable securities as
available-for-sale.





At
December 31, 2009, marketable securities consisted of government and government
agency notes and bonds with a fair market value of $24.1 million. The amortized
cost of marketable securities at December 31, 2009 was $24.1 million with an
unrealized gain of $6,000.  The maturities of all securities are less
than 12 months at December 31, 2009.





At
December 31, 2008, marketable securities consisted of government and government
agency notes and bonds with a fair market value of $66.7 million. The amortized
cost of marketable securities at December 31, 2008 was $66.3 million with an
unrealized gain of $403,000.  The maturities of all securities are
less than 12 months at December 31, 2008.





3.
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 $221,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 and $181,600 during
the year ended December 31, 2008.





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.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company had a net receivable of
$21,000 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 2009.





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.   Such services aggregated $18,700 during the year ended
December 31, 2009 and $35,400 during the year ended December 31,
2008.





As of
December 31, 2009, the Company had no outstanding receivables from or payables
to SIG. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had an outstanding receivable of
$8,300 from SIG.  The amount due from SIG is included in prepaids and
other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet.  The outstanding amount was paid in January
2009.


33




During
the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred no charges related to
Kanders Aviation LLC (“Kanders Aviation”), an affiliate of the Company’s
Executive Chairman, Warren B. Kanders.  During the year ended December
31, 2008, the Company incurred charges of approximately $14,000 for payments to
Kanders Aviation, 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.





As of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no outstanding receivables from or
payables to Kanders Aviation.





In the
opinion of management, the rates, terms and considerations of the transactions
with the related parties described above are at least as favorable as those we
could have obtained in arms length negotiations or otherwise are at prevailing
market prices and terms.

The net
change in the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets for 2009 was an
increase of $1.3 million as compared to a decrease of $0.1 million in 2008 and a
decrease in 2007 of $5.1 million. In assessing the realizability of deferred
income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of
deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment. Management has provided a
valuation allowance against net deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2009,
because the ultimate realization of those benefits and assets does not meet the
more likely than not criteria.





At
December 31, 2009, 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 $231.9 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 $228.3 million of the $231.9 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 $228.3
million of net operating losses available to offset taxable income,
approximately $211.9 million does not begin to expire until 2020 or later,
subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as indicated
by the following schedule:

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS





The
Company sponsors a 401(k) Plan (the "Plan"), a defined contribution plan
covering substantially all employees of the Company. Under the Plan's deferred
compensation arrangement, eligible employees who elect to participate in the
Plan may contribute between 2% and 20% of eligible compensation, as defined, to
the Plan. The Company, at its discretion, may elect to provide for either a
matching contribution or discretionary profit-sharing contribution or both. The
Company made matching contributions of approximately $41,000, $39,000 and
$31,000 during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.





6.
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS





The
Company adopted the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan") in 1998. Under
the 1998 Plan, the Board of Directors had the 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 or consultants to the Company. The
1998 Plan provided for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted
units. During 2000, the Board of Directors and stockholders adopted an
amendment, which increased the number of shares authorized and reserved for
issuance from 1.5 million shares to 3.0 million shares. The aggregate number of
shares of common stock that could be granted through awards under the 1998 Plan
to any employee in any calendar year could not exceed 200,000 shares. The 1998
Plan was terminated in June 2005, but 620,000 stock options awarded under the
plan are vested and remained eligible to be exercised at December 31,
2009.

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 the 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. The number of shares
authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan is 5.0 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 December 31, 2009, 748,750 stock options have been
awarded under the plan of which 105,000 are unvested and 643,750 are vested and
eligible for exercise.





In April
2003, the Company granted 500,000 shares of restricted stock to Warren B.
Kanders, the Executive Chairman of the Board. The shares vest in ten years or
earlier upon satisfaction of various conditions including performance based
conditions relating to the price of the Company's common stock. Deferred
compensation of $2.7 million was recorded at the date of grant representing the
fair value of the shares and adjusted as of December 31, 2005 to $4.2 million to
account for the increase in fair market value from grant date through December
31, 2005. With the implementation of ASC 718 on January 1, 2006, the remaining
compensation expense of $2.0 million of this award was expensed on a straight
line basis over the remaining time period of 7.5 years.  During the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, $268,000 was amortized to compensation
expense for this award.





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.  The Company recorded total non-cash stock compensation
expense in general and administrative expense of approximately $268,000 related
to unvested restricted stock for each of fiscal 2009, 2008 and
2007.  For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the
Company incurred compensation expense of approximately $222,000, $409,000 and
$176,000 respectively, related to stock options.





On July
1, 2009, the Company accelerated the vesting of 100,000 options originally
issued December 13, 2007 to a terminated employee.  As part of the
severance agreement, the expiration period of these options was extended until
June 30, 2010.  The total decrease to non-cash equity compensation
related to these options was $90,000 which was recorded in general and
administrative expenses.





On May
28, 2009 and June 18, 2009, the Company issued 63,750 and 60,000 stock options,
respectively, under the Company’s 2005 Plan, to directors of the
Company.  The options issued on May 28, 2009 were fully vested on the
date of grant and the vesting period for the options granted June 18, 2009 is
quarterly beginning June 30, 2009 over one year.  For computing the
fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has
been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following assumptions:

period of the options.





On
September 24, 2008, the Company issued 60,000 stock options, under the Company’s
2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), to directors of the
Company.  The stock options vested and became exercisable in four
equal consecutive quarterly tranches commencing on September 30,
2008.  For computing the fair value of the stock-based awards, the
fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using

Using
these assumptions, the fair value of the stock options granted during the year
ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $96,750 which was amortized over the
vesting period of the options.





On
December 13, 2007, the Company issued 430,000 stock options, under the Company’s
2005 Plan, to directors and employees of the Company.  The vesting
period for 150,000 options issued to directors was one year and four years for
the remaining 280,000 options issued to employees.  For computing the
fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has
been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing

Using
these assumptions, the fair value of the stock options granted during the year
ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $1.1 million which will be amortized
over the vesting period of the options.





The
expected life in years is based on the “simplified” calculation provided for in
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The simplified method determines the
expected life in years based on the vesting period and contractual terms as set
forth when the award is made. The Company continues to use the simplified method
for awards of stock-based compensation after January 1, 2008 as permitted
by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 110 (“SAB No. 110”), since it does not
have the necessary historical exercise and forfeiture data to determine an
expected life for stock options. Originally, the use of the simplified method
was due to expire on December 31, 2007, but SAB No. 110 permits
continued use of the simplified method if the Company concludes that it is not
reasonable to base its estimate of expected term on its experience with
historical exercise patterns.





Total
options available for grant under all plans as of December 31, 2009 were 5.0
million.  A summary of changes in outstanding options during the three
years ended December 31, 2009 is as follows:

RIGHTS AGREEMENT





On
February 7, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a Rights Agreement (the
“Rights Agreement”) which provides for a dividend distribution of one preferred
share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock,
payable to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 12,
2008.  Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the
Company one one-hundredth of a share of our Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a purchase price of
$12.00.  The Rights Agreement is designed to assist in limiting the
number of 5% or more owners and thus reduce the risk of a possible “change of
ownership” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as
amended.  A significant penalty is imposed on any person or group that
acquires 4.9% or more (but less than 50%) of our then-outstanding common stock
without the prior approval of our Board of Directors.  There is no
guaranty that the objective of the Rights Agreement of preserving the NOLs will
be achieved.  There is a possibility that certain transactions may be
completed by stockholders or prospective stockholders that could trigger an
“ownership change.”  The parties to the Rights Agreement, dated as of
February 12, 2008 are Clarus and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as
rights agent.

9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE





There
have been no changes in or disagreements with accountants on accounting or
financial disclosure matters during the periods covered by this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.





ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





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 December
31, 2009, 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 December 31, 2009 are
effective.





Management's
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





Management
of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control over financial reporting
is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company's internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that:





·  pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;





·  provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts
and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and





· provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of the   Company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.





Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management assessed
the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria
set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.





Based on
our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that the Company
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2009.





KPMG LLP,
an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated
financial statements included in this report
and as part of their audit, has issued their report, included herein in Item 8,
on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting.





Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





No
changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting have come to
management's attention during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the
Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Exchange Act.)

The
Board of Directors and Stockholders


of
Clarus Corporation:





Under
date of March 15, 2010, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of Clarus
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive
income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2009, which are included in the 2009 annual report on Form
10-K of Clarus Corporation. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned
consolidated financial statements, we also audited the related financial
statement schedule. This financial statement schedule is the responsibility of
Clarus Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
this financial statement schedule based on our audits.





In our
opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in
all material respects, the information set forth therein.
