Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On October 13, 2005, Kana Software, Inc. (“KANA”) received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) has determined that KANA’s common stock will be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market effective at the open of business on October 17, 2005 for its non-compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

As previously reported by KANA in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 29, 2005, the Panel granted KANA’s request for an extension to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 by October 7, 2005. KANA was unable to meet this deadline and filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s next business day, October 11, 2005.

KANA may request the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council to review the decision of the Panel and plans to apply for re-listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market as soon as it is in compliance with all necessary listing requirements.

On October 14, 2005, KANA issued a press release attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.01 announcing the delisting of KANA’s common stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market.
