              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   GENERAL

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts
of Hurco Companies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We design and
produce interactive, personal computer (PC) based, computer control systems and
software and computerized machine systems for sale through a worldwide sales,
service and distribution network.

The condensed financial information as of January 31, 2002 and 2001 is unaudited
but includes all adjustments which we consider necessary for a fair presentation
of our financial position at those dates and our results of operations and cash
flows for the three months then ended. It is suggested that these condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
October 31, 2001.

2.   LICENSE FEE INCOME, NET

From time to time, our wholly owned subsidiary, IMS Technology, Inc., enters
into agreements for the licensing of its interactive computer numerical control
patents. License fees received or receivable under a fully paid-up license, for
which there are no future performance requirements or contingencies, are
recognized in income, net of legal fees and expenses, at the time the license
agreement is executed. License fees receivable in periodic installments that are
contingent upon the continuing validity of a licensed patent are recognized in
income, net of legal fees and expenses, over the life of the licensed patent.
The licensed patent expired in October 2001 and, as a result, we have no
deferred license fee income at January 31, 2002.

3.   HEDGING

We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts periodically to hedge
certain forecast inter-company sales and forecast inter-company and third-party
purchases denominated in foreign currencies (primarily Pound Sterling, Euro and
New Taiwan Dollar). The purpose of these instruments is to mitigate the risk
that the U.S. Dollar net cash inflows and outflows resulting from the sales and
purchases denominated in foreign currencies will be adversely affected by
changes in exchange rates. These forward contracts have been designated as cash
flow hedge instruments, and are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet at fair value in Other Current Assets and Accrued Liabilities. Gains and
losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these hedge contracts are
deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and recognized as an
adjustment to the related sale or purchase transaction in the period that the
transaction occurs. Net losses on cash flow hedge contracts which we
reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to Cost of Sales in the
quarter ended January 31, 2002 were $450,000.

At January 31, 2002, we had $89,000 of unrealized gains related to cash flow
hedges deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which we expect to
recognize in Cost of Sales within the next twelve months. Cash flow hedge
contracts mature at various dates through October 2002.

We also enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to protect
against the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on receivables and payables
denominated in foreign currencies. These derivative instruments are not
designated as hedges under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, "Accounting Standards for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
(SFAS 133), and as a result, changes in fair value are reported currently as
Other Income (Expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations consistent
with the transaction gain or loss on the related foreign denominated receivable
or payable. Such net transaction gains were $35,000 and $71,000 for the quarters
ended January 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

4.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per common share are based on the weighted average
number of our shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common
share give effect to outstanding stock options using the treasury method. For
the quarter ended January 31, 2002, no effect was given to outstanding options
because of their anti-dilutive effect.

5.   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The allowance for doubtful accounts was $833,000 as of January 31, 2002 and
$907,000 as of October 31, 2001.

6.   INVENTORIES

Inventories, priced at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market,

7.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate in a single segment: industrial automation systems. We design and
produce interactive computer control systems and software and computerized
machine tool systems for sale through our distribution network to the worldwide
metal working market. We also provide software options, computer control
upgrades, accessories and replacement parts for our products, as well as
customer service and training support.

8.  RESTRUCTURING RESERVE

We previously recorded a reserve for anticipated costs associated with the
restructuring of a subsidiary to convert its operations from manufacturing
computer controls to sales and service of computerized machine systems.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we recorded a severance provision of
$356,000 for separation costs related to the changes in senior management.


At January 31, 2002, the restructuring reserve balance was approximately
$358,000 and consisted of the following:

                                                 Charges to        Balance
Description       10/31/01        Provision        Accrual          1/31/02

                  --------        ----------       -------          -------


9.       SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND LOAN AGREEMENT
During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, we entered into agreements with a
private software company to fund development costs related to the integration of
patented, open architecture technology into our computer numerical control
products. We agreed to fund an aggregate of $405,000, over a fifteen-month
period ending in July 2002. We also agreed to fund a secured term loan available
in installments through February 2002 of $1.0 million which is due April 1,
2003. In addition, we have warrants to purchase an equity interest in the
company, which are exercisable on or before December 31, 2002, and 2003. As of
January 31, 2002, our combined investment in the secured loan and warrants was
$918,000 which is reflected in Investments and Other Assets.

10.      DEBT AGREEMENT

We are in active discussions with other lenders for a long-term credit facility
to replace our current credit facilities, which expire December 31, 2002. While
we believe that we will be able to obtain a replacement facility in fiscal 2002
under acceptable terms, no such assurance can be given.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, our German subsidiary obtained a 3.0
million Euro working capital credit facility that is available through December
31, 2002. As a result, our domestic credit facility was reduced by $2.7 million
to $19.8 million.

We were in compliance with all loan covenants at January 31, 2002, and had an
additional credit availability of $9.3 million.

11.  LEASEHOLD REPAIRS CONTINGENCY

The lease for our facility located in England expires in April 2002 and requires
that we make certain repairs to the facility at the conclusion of the lease
resulting from dilapidation of the facility that occurred during the lease term.
At January 31, 2002, we accrued approximately $60,000 to repair the facility. In
February 2002, the landlord claimed payment of $1.0 million for his estimated
repairs. We have rejected the landlord's claim and intend to vigorously contest
the matter. As a result, our final cost for the dilapidation repairs cannot be
determined at this time.


12.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141,
"Business Combinations" (SFAS 141) and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Under SFAS 142, amortization of goodwill will cease and the goodwill
carrying values will be tested periodically for impairment. We are required to
adopt SFAS 142, effective November 1, 2002 for goodwill and intangible assets
acquired prior to July 1, 2001. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired after
June 30, 2001 will be subject immediately to the goodwill non-amortization and
intangible provisions of this statement. The impact on our financial statements
will be immaterial.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS
144), which is effective for the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2002. SFAS
144 establishes a single model to account for impairment of assets to be held or
disposed of, incorporating guidelines for accounting and disclosure of
discontinued operations. We believe the impact on our financial statements will
be immaterial.


Item 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -------        ----------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
Certain statements made in this report may constitute "forward-looking
statements". For a description of risks and uncertainties related to
forward-looking statements, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended October 31, 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended January 31, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended
January 31, 2001
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The net loss was attributable primarily to substantially lower sales in the
U.S., along with a one-time severance expense of $356,000 related to a
previously announced change in senior management.

Sales and service fees for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 were $18.5 million,
approximately $7.4 million, or 29%, lower than those recorded in the 2001
period. First quarter sales and service fees in the U.S. market declined 52% to
$5.4 million and represented 30% of worldwide sales compared to 44% in the prior
year period. Sales in Europe declined 9% to $12.5 million and represented 67% of
total revenues, as compared to 53% a year ago.

Net sales of computerized machine tool systems in the U.S. fell 61% in the
quarter, as compared to the prior year period, coupled with a 35% decline in
sales of retrofit computer controls, spare parts and service fees. These results
reflect the continuation of the dramatic decline in machine tool consumption in
the U.S. which began in late 2000 and worsened in the aftermath of September 11.
This decline is the result of weak economic conditions in most industrial
market sectors in the U.S. and directly impacts sales of our products.  In
Europe, sales of computerized machine tool systems were 9% below the prior year
level, reflecting weaker market conditions.

New order bookings for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 were $15.8 million, a
decline of 44% as compared to $28.1 million recorded in the prior year period.
New orders for computerized machine tool systems in the U.S. declined 50% in
units and 63% in dollars, and were particularly impacted by a marked decrease in
the number of large model machines in the total sales mix. New orders in Europe
declined 46% in units and 38% in current dollars from the record level achieved
in the first quarter of 2001.

Gross profit margin declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to 21.6% from
25.5% in the same period a year ago, due in large part to the reduced sales of
spare parts and lower service revenues, as well as the effect of lower machine
sales.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 of $5.2 million were
$872,000, or 14% below those of the corresponding 2001 period, due to previously
announced cost reduction programs.

License fee income included a favorable adjustment of $130,000 due to the
reversal of a reserve for a potential refund related to a license. We have
determined that the liability no longer exists.

Foreign Currency Risk Management

We manage our foreign currency exposure through the use of foreign currency
forward exchange contracts. We do not speculate in the financial markets and,
therefore, do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes. We also
moderate our currency risk related to significant purchase commitments with
certain foreign vendors through price adjustment agreements that provide for a
sharing of, or otherwise limit, the potential adverse effect of currency
fluctuations on the costs of purchased products. See Item 3 below and Note 3 to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At January 31, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.0 million compared
to $3.5 million at October 31, 2001. Cash provided by operations totaled $1.3
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to cash used for operations
of $1.0 million in the prior year.

Net working capital, excluding short-term debt of $10.1 million, was $28.7
million at January 31, 2002 compared to $31.5 million at October 31, 2001. The
decrease in working capital was the result of a $1.4 million reduction in
accounts receivable due to lower sales, and a $2.8 million planned reduction in
inventory offset by a $2.5 million reduction in accounts payable due to reduced
levels of production.

Capital investments for the first quarter ended January 31, 2002 consisted
principally of expenditures for software development projects and purchases of
equipment. Cash used for investing activities during the quarter was funded by
cash flow from operations and our bank credit facilities.

At January 31, 2002, outstanding borrowings of $9.9 million under our domestic
bank credit facility were classified as Current Portion of Long Term Debt
because the facility matures December 31, 2002. We are in active discussions
with other lenders for a new domestic credit facility. While we believe that we
will be able to obtain a replacement facility in fiscal 2002 under reasonable
terms, no such assurance can be given.

During the first quarter, our German subsidiary obtained a 3.0 million Euro
unsecured working capital credit facility that is available through December 31,
2002. As a result, our domestic credit facility commitment was reduced by $2.7
million to $19.8 million. We were in compliance with all loan covenants at
January 31, 2002, and had an additional credit availability of $9.3 million,
including the European facility.


Our cash flow from operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was
consistent with our fiscal 2002 business plan. Our business plan for fiscal 2002
includes planned reductions of operating expenses and working capital. If market
demand and sales in the U.S. and Europe continue to decline, or if there are
adverse currency movements, or if we do not realize anticipated cost reductions
and cash from planned inventory reductions, our actual results may differ from
our business plan. During the first quarter of fiscal 2002, order rates
deteriorated from fourth quarter order rates, both in the U.S. and Europe and
weakened further in the month of February 2002. We anticipate a continued
operating loss in our second fiscal quarter based on these reduced order rates.
We have initiated additional cost reduction actions in March 2002, which will
involve a 20% reduction in our domestic workforce and generate an annual cost
savings of approximately $2.2 million. We will record approximately $150,000 of
severance cost in our second fiscal quarter related to these actions. We are
also examining additional steps to further reduce operating costs and improve
cash flow from operations over the remainder of fiscal 2002.  We believe that
cash flow generated from operations and borrowings available to us under our
credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements
in fiscal 2002.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- -------  ----------------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Risk

Interest on our bank borrowings is affected by changes in prevailing U.S. and
European interest rates and/or Libor. At January 31, 2002, outstanding
borrowings under our bank credit facilities were $9.9 million and our total
indebtedness was $10.7 million. The interest rate on the Libor portion of our
bank debt was Libor plus 2%.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

In fiscal 2002, approximately 72% of our sales and service fees, including
export sales, were derived from foreign markets. All of our computerized machine
systems and computer numerical control systems, as well as certain proprietary
service parts, are sourced by our U.S.-based engineering and manufacturing
division and re-invoiced to our foreign sales and service subsidiaries,
primarily in their functional currencies.

Our products are sourced from foreign suppliers or built to our specifications
by either our wholly owned subsidiary in Taiwan, or contract manufacturers
overseas. These purchases are predominantly in foreign currencies and in many
cases our arrangements with these suppliers include foreign currency risk
sharing agreements, which reduce (but do not eliminate) the effects of currency
fluctuations on product costs. The predominant portion of our exchange rate risk
associated with product purchases relates to the New Taiwan Dollar.

We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts from time to time to hedge the
cash flow risk related to forecast inter-company sales, and forecast
inter-company and third-party purchases denominated in, or based on, foreign
currencies. We also enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to
provide a natural hedge against the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on
receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. We do not speculate
in the financial markets and, therefore, do not enter into these contracts for
trading purposes.

Forward contracts for the sale or purchase of foreign currencies as of January
31, 2002 which are designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 were as
follows:

                                                                      Contract Amount at Forward
