Part III – Narrative

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Motive, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 (the “Quarterly Report”) within the time period prescribed for such report.

As previously disclosed, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has been conducting a review of (i) the Company’s revenue recognition practices related to certain reseller transactions and (ii) whether the Company recognized in the proper periods revenue associated with certain license and services arrangements. In addition, as previously disclosed, the Company’s management has concluded that insufficient evidence existed to support the Company’s prior determination that vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value existed for the maintenance element for the majority of the Company’s software arrangements. Also as previously disclosed, the Company will restate its previously issued financial statements for periods beginning with fiscal 2001 as a result of findings from the Audit Committee review and management’s VSOE determination. As a result of the Company’s ongoing restatement activities, the Company is unable to complete the preparation of the Quarterly Report within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company anticipates that it will file the Quarterly Report as promptly as possible after the completion of its ongoing restatement activities.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).    ¨  Yes    x  No

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

 

 

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    x  Yes    ¨  No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

Because, as discussed in Part III above, the Company’s restatement activities are still ongoing, the Company is unable at this time to make a reasonable estimate of the change in its results of operations in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
