               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
------   ---------------------------------------

               The following documents filed by Clarus Corporation (the
"Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are
incorporated herein by reference:

               (a)  The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for
     the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, filed with the Commission on March
     20, 2000, and April 28, respectively;

               (b)  The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
     ended March 31, 2000, filed with the Commission on May 15, 2000;

               (c)  The Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the
     Commission on January 6, 2000, March 20, 2000, June 12, 2000 and June 13,
     2000;

               (d)  The description of the Company's Common Stock, $.0001 par
     value, contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed
     pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
     amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any amendment or report filed for
     the purpose of updating such description; and

               (e)  All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
     of the Exchange Act since the date of the document referred to in (a),
     above.

               All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have
been sold or which deregisters all securities remaining unsold shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of
the filing of such documents.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.
------   -------------------------

               Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
------   --------------------------------------

               The legality of the securities offered hereby has been passed
upon by the firm of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC, counsel to the
Company. Members of the firm hold approximately 3,000 shares of Common Stock.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
------  -----------------------------------------

               The Restated Bylaws of the Company (the "Restated Bylaws") and
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated Certificate") of the
Company provide that the directors and officers of the Company shall be
indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as
it now exists or may in the future be amended, against all expenses and
liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with service for or on behalf of
the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the
Restated Bylaws, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. The Company has obtained insurance which insures
the directors and officers of the Company against certain losses and which
insures the Company against certain of its obligations to indemnify such
directors and officers. In addition, the Restated Certificate of the Company
provides that the directors of the Company will not be personally liable for
monetary damages to the Company for breaches of their fiduciary duty as
directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law,
authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper personal
benefit from their action as directors. Such limitations of personal liability
under the Delaware Business Corporation law do not apply to liabilities arising
out of certain violations of the federal securities laws. While non-monetary
relief such as injunctive relief, specific performance

                                      II-1
<PAGE>

and other equitable remedies may be available to the Company, such relief may be
difficult to obtain or, if obtained, may not adequately compensate the Company
for its damages.

               There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company where indemnification by the
Company will be required or permitted. The Company is not aware of any
threatened litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such
indemnification.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
------   ------------

(a)      The Company hereby undertakes:

         (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
               made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                    (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
                          of the Securities Act;

                    (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                          arising after the effective date of the Registration
                          Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
                          thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
                          represent a fundamental change in the information set
                          forth in the Registration Statement;

                                      II-2
<PAGE>

                    (iii)  To include any material information with respect to
                           the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
                           the Registration Statement or any material change to
                           such information in the Registration Statement;

     provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
     --------  -------
     the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
     those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
     to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
     the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
     Statement.

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
          Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
          be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
          therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
          deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
          of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
          termination of the offering.

(b)  The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
     liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual
     report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
     is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
     may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
     Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has
     been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
     against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
     unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
     liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
     paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
     successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
     director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
     being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
     the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
     against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
     governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
------   ---------------------------------------

               The following documents filed by Clarus Corporation (the
"Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are
incorporated herein by reference:

               (a)  The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for
     the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, filed with the Commission on March
     20, 2000, and April 28, respectively;

               (b)  The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
     ended March 31, 2000, filed with the Commission on May 15, 2000;

               (c)  The Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the
     Commission on January 6, 2000, March 20, 2000, June 12, 2000 and June 13,
     2000;

               (d)  The description of the Company's Common Stock, $.0001 par
     value, contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed
     pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
     amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any amendment or report filed for
     the purpose of updating such description; and

               (e)  All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
     of the Exchange Act since the date of the document referred to in (a),
     above.

               All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have
been sold or which deregisters all securities remaining unsold shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of
the filing of such documents.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.
------   -------------------------

               Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
------   --------------------------------------

               The legality of the securities offered hereby has been passed
upon by the firm of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC, counsel to the
Company. Members of the firm hold approximately 3,000 shares of Common Stock.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
------  -----------------------------------------

               The Restated Bylaws of the Company (the "Restated Bylaws") and
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated Certificate") of the
Company provide that the directors and officers of the Company shall be
indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as
it now exists or may in the future be amended, against all expenses and
liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with service for or on behalf of
the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the
Restated Bylaws, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. The Company has obtained insurance which insures
the directors and officers of the Company against certain losses and which
insures the Company against certain of its obligations to indemnify such
directors and officers. In addition, the Restated Certificate of the Company
provides that the directors of the Company will not be personally liable for
monetary damages to the Company for breaches of their fiduciary duty as
directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law,
authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper personal
benefit from their action as directors. Such limitations of personal liability
under the Delaware Business Corporation law do not apply to liabilities arising
out of certain violations of the federal securities laws. While non-monetary
relief such as injunctive relief, specific performance

                                      II-1
and other equitable remedies may be available to the Company, such relief may be
difficult to obtain or, if obtained, may not adequately compensate the Company
for its damages.

               There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company where indemnification by the
Company will be required or permitted. The Company is not aware of any
threatened litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such
indemnification.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
------   ------------

(a)      The Company hereby undertakes:

         (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
               made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                    (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
                          of the Securities Act;

                    (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                          arising after the effective date of the Registration
                          Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
                          thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
                          represent a fundamental change in the information set
                          forth in the Registration Statement;

                                      II-2
(iii)  To include any material information with respect to
                           the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
                           the Registration Statement or any material change to
                           such information in the Registration Statement;

     provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
     --------  -------
     the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
     those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
     to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
     the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
     Statement.

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
          Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
          be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
          therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
          deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
          of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
          termination of the offering.

(b)  The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
     liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual
     report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
     is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
     may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
     Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has
     been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
     against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
     unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
     liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
     paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
     successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
     director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
     being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
     the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
     against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
     governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
