EXPLANATORY NOTE
Clearant, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we,” “us” or “our”), is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-KSB/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) to amend our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 1, 2008 (the “Original Report”). The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to revise our discussion of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by the Original Report.
As required by Rule 12b-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the complete text of Part II, Item 8A has been set forth in this Amendment No. 1, including those portions which have not been modified from the Original Report. As a result of these modifications, the certifications pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed as exhibits to the Original Report, have been re-executed and re-filed as of the date of this Amendment No. 1.
Except with respect to our discussion of our conclusion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as set forth in Part II, Item 8A, we have not modified or updated any of our prior disclosure from the Original Report, and this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect the occurrence of any events following the date of the Original Report. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original Report, including any amendments to those filings.

PART II
Item 8A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer who is also our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report (December 31, 2007), as is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our disclosure controls and procedures are intended to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as the principal executive and financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Our management has concluded that the financial statements included in this Form 10-KSB present fairly, in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our 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. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
