Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, the Audit Committee of Motive’s Board of Directors has been conducting a review of various financial accounting issues and matters in connection with Motive’s ongoing restatement efforts. On December 20, 2006, Motive’s Audit Committee determined that its review should include certain financial accounting aspects of Motive’s acquisition of (i) all of the outstanding capital stock of Ventix Systems, Inc. in January 2000, and (ii) certain assets of Question Technologies, Inc. in November 2001.

The efforts of Motive’s Audit Committee and management are ongoing. It is possible that these efforts may identify additional or different issues that could impact the Company’s previously issued financial statements, and that these issues and their impact on such financial statements could be material.
