Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

This Form SD of Hurco Companies, Inc. (“Hurco,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.

 

We design and produce computerized machine tools, interactive computer control systems and software, machine tool components, and accessories for the worldwide metal cutting and metal forming industry.

 

We have determined that certain of our products contain columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten, that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products (such minerals are referred to as “necessary conflict minerals”).

 

We conducted a good faith inquiry that was reasonably designed to determine whether any necessary conflict minerals contained in our products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the “Covered Countries”), or were from recycled or scrap sources. As part of this inquiry, we conducted a supply chain survey of our direct suppliers using a customized questionnaire as a common means for the collection of sourcing information related to necessary conflict minerals in our products.

 

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

 

With respect to necessary conflict minerals in our products, based on the results of our inquiry, we had reason to believe that such conflict minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, we exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such necessary conflict minerals, as described in the Conflict Minerals Report attached as Exhibit 1.02 to this Form SD.

 

A copy of this Form SD, including the Conflict Minerals Report attached hereto as Exhibit 1.02, is publicly available at http://www.hurco.com/en-us/about-hurco/investors/Documents/Conflict_Minerals_Policy.pdf.
