                     This Statement constitutes Amendment No. 13 to the
Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by Brynwood Partners II L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
("Brynwood II"), its general partner, Brynwood Management II L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("Brynwood Management II"), Hendrik J. Hartong, Jr. and
Richard T. Niner (collectively, the "Beneficial Owners"), with respect to the
Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), of Hurco Companies, Inc. (the
"Company").

                     Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations.

                     The total amount required by Mr. Niner to effect the
purchases since the date of Amendment No. 12 to the Schedule 13D was $345,625,
all of which was derived from Mr. Niner's personal funds.

                     Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

                     The purchases of shares of Common Stock by Mr. Niner since
the date of Amendment No. 12 to the Schedule 13D were made solely for the
purpose of increasing Mr. Niner's equity position in the Company at prices
deemed favorable. Mr. Niner may purchase additional shares of Common Stock from
time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as and
when appropriate opportunities may arise.

                     Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                     (a)-(b) As of November 17, 1999, the Beneficial Owners
beneficially owned the following shares of Common Stock:

                  (i)      Brynwood II is the direct owner of 278,001 shares of
                           Common Stock. The 278,001 shares represent
                           approximately 4.7% of the 5,950,859 outstanding
                           shares of Common Stock.
