To Our Clients:

           Enclosed for your consideration is an Offer to Purchase, dated June
3, 2003 (the white document in your package), and the related Letter of
Transmittal (the blue document in your package) which together constitute the
"Offer," in connection with the offer by Hurco Companies, Inc. ("Hurco"), to
purchase shares of its common stock (the "Shares") held by holders of 99 or
fewer Shares at a purchase price of $3.35 per Share, upon the terms and
conditions set forth in the Offer.

           We are the owner of record of Shares held for your account.
Therefore, we are the only ones who can tender your Shares, and then only
pursuant to your instructions. We are sending you the Letter of Transmittal for
your information only; you cannot use it to tender Shares we hold for your
account.

           Please instruct us as to whether you wish us to tender the Shares we
hold for your account on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

           We call your attention to the following:

                     1. Only those stockholders owning 99 or fewer Shares are
           eligible to participate in this tender offer;

                     2. If you decide to accept the tender offer, you must
           tender all of the Shares that you own, either in your name or
           beneficially. Partial tenders will not be accepted.

                     3. Hurco intends to deregister its common stock with the
           Securities and Exchange Commission and become a private company if,
           after the completion of the tender offer, it has fewer than 300
           stockholders of record.

                     4. The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
           on Tuesday, July 1, 2003; and

                     5. Once you tender your Shares in the Offer, you may not
           withdraw them.

           If you wish to have us tender your Shares, please so instruct us by
completing, executing and returning to us the instruction form set forth below.
An envelope to return your instruction form to us is enclosed.

           YOUR INSTRUCTION FORM SHOULD BE FORWARDED TO US IN AMPLE TIME TO
PERMIT US TO SUBMIT A TENDER ON YOUR BEHALF ON OR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE OF
THE OFFER. THE OFFER EXPIRES AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON TUESDAY, JULY
1, 2003.
