PART I

Item 1. Business.

     This report and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements, which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. See “Forward Looking Statements” under Item 7 of this report.

General

     Our Company, Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc., is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Hawthorn was incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri on October 23, 1992 as Exchange National Bancshares, Inc. and changed its name to Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. in August 2007. Hawthorn owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Union State Bancshares, Inc., which in turn owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Hawthorn Bank. Hawthorn and Union State Bancshares each received approval from the Federal Reserve and elected to become a financial holding company on October 21, 2001.

     Hawthorn acquired Hawthorn Bank and its constituent predecessor banks, as well as Union State Bancshares, in a series of transactions that are summarized as follows:

	•		On April 7, 1993 our Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of The Exchange National Bank of Jefferson City, a national banking association, pursuant to a corporate reorganization involving an exchange of shares;
	•		On November 3, 1997, our Company acquired Union State Bancshares, Inc., and Union’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Union State Bank and Trust of Clinton;
	•		Following the May 4, 2000 acquisition of Citizens State Bank of Calhoun by Union State Bank, Citizens State Bank merged into Union State Bank to form Citizens Union State Bank & Trust;
	•		On January 3, 2000, our Company acquired Osage Valley Bank;
	•		On June 16, 2000, Hawthorn acquired City National Savings Bank, FSB, which was then merged into Exchange National Bank; and
	•		On May 2, 2005, our Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Bank 10, a Missouri state bank.

     On December 1, 2006, our Company announced its development of a strategic plan in which, among other things, Exchange National Bank, Citizens Union State Bank, Osage Valley Bank and Bank 10 would be consolidated into a single bank under a Missouri state trust charter. This consolidation was completed in October 2007, and our subsidiary bank is now known as Hawthorn Bank.

Except as otherwise provided herein, references herein to “Hawthorn” or our “Company” include Hawthorn and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references herein to our “Bank” refers to Hawthorn Bank and its constituent predecessors.

Description of Business

     Hawthorn. Hawthorn is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act that has elected to become a financial holding company. Our Company’s activities currently are limited to ownership, indirectly through its subsidiary (Union State Bancshares, Inc.), of the outstanding capital stock of Hawthorn Bank. In addition to ownership of its subsidiaries, Hawthorn may seek expansion through acquisition and may engage in those activities (such as investments in banks or operations that are financial in

nature) in which it is permitted to engage under applicable law. It is not currently anticipated that Hawthorn will engage in any business other than that directly related to its ownership of its banking subsidiary or other financial institutions.

     Union. Union State Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act that has elected to become a financial holding company. Union’s activities currently are limited to ownership of the outstanding capital stock of Hawthorn Bank. It is not currently anticipated that Union will engage in any business other than that directly related to its ownership of Hawthorn Bank.

     Hawthorn Bank. Hawthorn Bank was founded in 1932 as a Missouri bank and converted to a Missouri trust company on August 16, 1989. However, its predecessors trace their lineage back to the founding of Exchange National Bank in 1865. Hawthorn Bank has 24 banking offices, including its principal office at 132 East High Street in Jefferson City’s central business district. See “Item 2. Properties”.

     Hawthorn Bank is a full service bank conducting a general banking and trust business, offering its customers checking and savings accounts, internet banking, debit cards, certificates of deposit, trust services, brokerage services, safety deposit boxes and a wide range of lending services, including commercial and industrial loans, single payment personal loans, installment loans and commercial and residential real estate loans.

     Hawthorn Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) to the extent provided by law. Hawthorn Bank’s operations are supervised and regulated by the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Periodic examinations of Hawthorn Bank are conducted by representatives of the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance. Such regulations, supervision and examinations are principally for the benefit of depositors, rather than for the benefit of the holders of Hawthorn Bank’s common stock. See “Regulation Applicable to Bank Holding Companies” and “Regulation Applicable to our Bank”.

     Hawthorn Real Estate. Hawthorn Real Estate, LLC, was formed in December 2008 in order to purchase and hold various nonperforming assets of Hawthorn Bank. The purpose for holding these nonperforming assets in Hawthorn Real Estate is to allow for the orderly disposition of these assets and strengthen Hawthorn Bank’s financial position.

     Real Estate Holdings of Missouri, LLC. Real Estate Holdings of Missouri, LLC, was formed in March 2010 in order to purchase from Hawthorn Bank and hold parcels of foreclosed real property located in and around Kansas City, Missouri. The purpose for acquiring this foreclosed real estate in Real Estate Holdings of Missouri, LLC is to allow for the orderly, and potentially more expeditious, disposition of these assets and strengthen Hawthorn Bank’s financial position.

Employees

     As of December 31, 2010, Hawthorn and its subsidiaries had approximately 309 full-time and 63 part-time employees. None of its employees is presently represented by any union or collective bargaining group, and our Company considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.

Competition

     Bank holding companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates encounter intense competition from nonbanking as well as banking sources in all of their activities. Our Bank’s competitors include other commercial banks, thrifts, savings banks, credit unions and money market mutual funds. Thrifts and credit unions now have the authority to offer checking accounts and to make corporate and agricultural loans and were granted expanded investment authority by recent federal regulations. In addition, large national and

multinational corporations have in recent years become increasingly visible in offering a broad range of financial services to all types of commercial and consumer customers. In our Bank’s service areas, new competitors, as well as the expanding operations of existing competitors, have had, and are expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on our Bank’s market share of deposits and loans in such service areas.

     Our Bank experiences substantial competition for deposits and loans within both its primary service areas of Jefferson City, Clinton, Lee’s Summit, Warsaw, Springfield, and Branson, Missouri and its secondary service area of the nearby communities in Cole, Henry, Cass, Benton and Greene counties of Missouri. Hawthorn Bank’s principal competition for deposits and loans comes from other banks within its primary service areas and, to an increasing extent, other banks in nearby communities. Based on publicly available information, management believes that Hawthorn Bank is the fourth largest (in terms of deposits) of the thirteen banks within Cole county, the largest (in terms of deposits) of the eight banks within Henry county, the third largest (in terms of deposits) of the seventeen banks within Cass county, and the largest (in terms of deposits) of the five banks within Benton county. The main competition for Hawthorn Bank’s trust services is from other commercial banks, including those of the Kansas City metropolitan area.

Regulation Applicable to Bank Holding Companies

     General. As a registered bank holding company and a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act (the “BHC Act”) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), Hawthorn is subject to supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”). The FRB has authority to issue cease and desist orders against bank holding companies if it determines that their actions represent unsafe and unsound practices or violations of law. In addition, the FRB is empowered to impose civil money penalties for violations of banking statutes and regulations. Regulation by the FRB is intended to protect depositors of our Bank, not the shareholders of Hawthorn.

     Limitation on Activities. The activities of bank holding companies are generally limited to the business of banking, managing or controlling banks, and other activities that the FRB has determined to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In addition, under the GLB Act, a bank holding company, all of whose controlled depository institutions are “well capitalized” and “well managed” (as defined in federal banking regulations) with “satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act ratings, may declare itself to be a “financial holding company” and engage in a broader range of activities. As noted above, Hawthorn is registered as a financial holding company.

     A financial holding company may affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature or incidental or complementary to activities that are financial in nature. “Financial in nature” activities include:

	•		securities underwriting, dealing and market making;
	•		sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies;
	•		insurance underwriting and insurance agency activities;
	•		merchant banking; and
	•		activities that the FRB determines to be financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity or which is complementary to a financial activity and does not pose a safety and soundness risk.

     A financial holding company that desires to engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity but not previously authorized by the FRB must obtain approval from the FRB before engaging in such activity. Also, a financial holding company may seek FRB approval to engage in an activity that is complementary to a financial activity, if it shows, among other things, that the activity does not

pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of its insured depository institutions or the financial system.

     A financial holding company generally may acquire a company (other than a bank holding company, bank or savings association) engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature without prior approval from the FRB. Prior FRB approval is required, however, before the financial holding company may acquire control of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of a bank holding company, bank or savings association. In addition, under the FRB’s merchant banking regulations, a financial holding company is authorized to invest in companies that engage in activities that are not financial in nature, as long as the financial holding company makes its investment with the intention of limiting the duration of the investment, does not manage the company on a day-to-day basis, and the company does not cross-market its products or services with any of the financial holding company’s controlled depository institutions.

     If any subsidiary bank of a financial holding company ceases to be “well-capitalized” or “well-managed” and fails to correct its condition within the time period that the FRB specifies, the FRB has authority to order the financial holding company to divest its subsidiary banks. Alternatively, the financial holding company may elect to limit its activities and the activities of its subsidiaries to those permissible for a bank holding company that is not a financial holding company. If any subsidiary bank of a financial holding company receives a rating under the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”) of less than “satisfactory”, then the financial holding company is prohibited from engaging in new activities or acquiring companies other than bank holding companies, banks or savings associations until the rating is raised to “satisfactory” or better.

     Limitation on Acquisitions. The BHC Act requires a bank holding company to obtain prior approval of the FRB before:

	•		taking any action that causes a bank to become a controlled subsidiary of the bank holding company;
	•		acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of voting shares of any bank or bank holding company, if the acquisition results in the acquiring bank holding company having control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of such bank or bank holding company, and such bank or bank holding company is not majority-owned by the acquiring bank holding company prior to the acquisition;
	•		acquiring substantially all of the assets of a bank; or
	•		merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.

     Regulatory Capital Requirements. The FRB has issued risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to United States banking organizations. If a bank holding company’s capital falls below minimum required levels, then the bank holding company must implement a plan to increase its capital, and its ability to pay dividends and make acquisitions of new bank subsidiaries may be restricted or prohibited. The FRB’s risk-based guidelines define a two-tier capital framework. Tier 1 capital generally includes common shareholders’ equity, a limited amount of trust preferred securities, minority interests and qualifying preferred stock, less goodwill and other adjustments. Tier 2 capital generally consists of preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1 capital, mandatory convertible debt, limited amounts of subordinated debt, other qualifying term debt and the allowance for credit losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and other adjustments. The sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital less investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries represents our total capital.

     The risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing Tier 1 and total capital by risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities). The FRB’s capital adequacy guidelines require that bank holding companies maintain a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 4% of its risk-weighted assets

and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to at least 8% of its risk-weighted assets. In addition, the FRB has established a minimum leverage ratio for bank holding companies. The FRB’s capital adequacy guidelines require that bank holding companies meeting specified criteria (including having the highest regulatory rating) maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio equal to at least 3% of its average total consolidated assets. All other bank holding companies generally will be required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4%.

     On December 31, 2010, Hawthorn was in compliance with all of the FRB’s capital adequacy guidelines. Hawthorn’s capital ratios on December 31, 2010 are shown below:

		Tier 1 Risk-Based		Total Risk-Based
Leverage Ratio		Capital Ratio		Capital Ratio
(3% minimum requirement)		(4% minimum requirement)		(8% minimum requirement)
11.00%		14.25%		17.05%

     Interstate Banking and Branching. Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “Riegle-Neal Act”), a bank holding company is permitted to acquire the stock or substantially all of the assets of banks located in any state regardless of whether such transaction is prohibited under the laws of any state. The FRB will not approve an interstate acquisition if, as a result of the acquisition, the bank holding company would control more than 10% of the total amount of insured deposits in the United States or would control more than 30% of the insured deposits in the home state of the acquired bank. The 30% of insured deposits state limit does not apply if the acquisition is the initial entry into a state by a bank holding company or if the home state waives such limit. The Riegle-Neal Act also authorizes banks to merge across state lines, thereby creating interstate branches. The Bank and Savings Association Holding Company and Depository Institution Regulatory Improvements Act of 2010, a subset of the Dodd-Frank Act discussed below, permits banks to acquire and establish de novo branches in other states if a state bank in that other state would be permitted to establish the branch.

     Under the Riegle-Neal Act, individual states may restrict interstate acquisitions in two ways. A state may prohibit an out-of-state bank holding company from acquiring a bank located in the state unless the target bank has been in existence for a specified minimum period of time (not to exceed five years). A state may also establish limits on the total amount of insured deposits within the state which are controlled by a single bank holding company, provided that such deposit limit does not discriminate against out-of-state bank holding companies.

     Source of Strength. FRB policy requires a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. Under this “source of strength doctrine,” a bank holding company is expected to stand ready to use its available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity, and to maintain resources and the capacity to raise capital which it can commit to its subsidiary banks. Furthermore, the FRB has the right to order a bank holding company to terminate any activity that the FRB believes is a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any subsidiary bank.

     Liability of Commonly Controlled Institutions. Under cross-guaranty provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”), bank subsidiaries of a bank holding company are liable for any loss incurred by the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”), the federal deposit insurance fund for banks, in connection with the failure of any other bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.

     Missouri Bank Holding Company Regulation. Missouri prohibits any bank holding company from acquiring ownership or control of any bank or Missouri depository trust company that has Missouri deposits if, after such acquisition, the bank holding company would hold or control more than 13% of total Missouri deposits. Because of this restriction, among others, a bank holding company, prior to acquiring control of a

bank or depository trust company that has deposits in Missouri, must receive the approval of the Missouri Division of Finance.

Regulation Applicable to our Bank

     General. Hawthorn Bank, a Missouri state non-member depository trust company, is subject to the regulation of the Missouri Division of Finance and the FDIC. The FDIC is empowered to issue cease and desist orders against our Bank if it determines that any activities of our Bank represent unsafe and unsound banking practices or violations of law. In addition, the FDIC has the power to impose civil money penalties for violations of banking statutes and regulations. Regulation by these agencies is designed to protect the depositors of the Bank; not shareholders of Hawthorn.

     Bank Regulatory Capital Requirements. The FDIC has adopted minimum capital requirements applicable to state non-member banks, which are similar to the capital adequacy guidelines established by the FRB for bank holding companies. Federal banking laws require the federal regulatory agencies to take prompt corrective action against undercapitalized financial institutions. A bank is identified as being “well-capitalized” if it has a total Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater (and is not subject to any order or written directive requiring the bank to adhere to a higher ratio).

     On December 31, 2010, our Bank was classified as “well-capitalized,” which is required for Hawthorn to remain a financial holding company. The capital ratios and classifications of our Bank as of December 31, 2010 are shown on the following chart.

		Tier 1 Risk-Based		Total Risk-Based
Leverage Ratio		Capital Ratio		Capital Ratio
(5% minimum requirement)		(6% minimum requirement)		(10% minimum requirement)
9.99%		12.93%		14.18%

     Limitations on Interest Rates and Loans to One Borrower. The rate of interest a bank may charge on certain classes of loans is limited by state and federal law. At certain times in the past, these limitations have resulted in reductions of net interest margins on certain classes of loans. Federal and state laws impose additional restrictions on the lending activities of banks. Generally, the maximum amount that a Missouri state-chartered bank may lend to any one person or entity is generally limited to 15% of the unimpaired capital of the bank located in a city having a population of 100,000 or more, 20% of the unimpaired capital of the bank located in a city having a population of less than 100,000 and over 7,000, and 25% of the unimpaired capital of the bank if located elsewhere in the state. In the case of Missouri state-chartered banks with a composite rating of 1 or 2 under the Capital, Assets, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and Sensitivity (CAMELS) rating system, the maximum amount is the greater of (i) the limits listed in the foregoing sentence or (ii) 25% of the unimpaired capital of the bank.

     Payment of Dividends. Our Bank is subject to federal and state laws limiting the payment of dividends. Under the FDIA, an FDIC-insured institution may not pay dividends while it is undercapitalized or if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized. The National Bank Act and Missouri banking law also prohibit the declaration of a dividend out of the capital and surplus of the bank. Our Bank will be required to receive regulatory approval prior to paying dividends to our Company until such time as the Bank’s unappropriated retained earnings balance is restored to a positive balance. In addition to the above limitations, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock is limited by our participation in the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (or CPP). Prior to December 19, 2011, unless we have redeemed the Series A preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury in the CPP or the U.S. Treasury has transferred the Series A preferred stock to a third party, we must receive the consent of the U.S. Treasury before we can pay quarterly dividends on our common stock of more than $0.20 per share. Furthermore, if we are not current in

the payment of quarterly dividends on the Series A preferred stock, we cannot pay dividends on our common stock.

     Community Reinvestment Act. Our Bank is subject to the CRA and implementing regulations. CRA regulations establish the framework and criteria by which the bank regulatory agencies assess an institution’s record of helping to meet the credit needs of its community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. CRA ratings are taken into account by regulators in reviewing certain applications made by Hawthorn and its banking subsidiary.

     Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. Hawthorn and its non-bank subsidiaries are “affiliates” within the meaning of the Federal Reserve Act. The amount of loans or extensions of credit which our Bank may make to non-bank affiliates, or to third parties secured by securities or obligations of the non-bank affiliates, are substantially limited by the Federal Reserve Act and the FDIA. Such acts further restrict the range of permissible transactions between a bank and an affiliated company. A bank and its subsidiaries may engage in certain transactions, including loans and purchases of assets, with an affiliated company only if the terms and conditions of the transaction, including credit standards, are substantially the same as, or at least as favorable to the bank as, those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies or, in the absence of comparable transactions, on terms and conditions that would be offered to non-affiliated companies.

     Other Banking Activities. The investments and activities of our Bank are also subject to regulation by federal and state banking agencies regarding, among other things, investments in subsidiaries, investments for their own account (including limitations on investments in junk bonds and equity securities), loans to officers, directors and their affiliates, security requirements, anti-tying limitations, anti-money laundering, financial privacy and customer identity verification requirements, truth-in-lending, the types of interest bearing deposit accounts which it can offer, trust department operations, brokered deposits, audit requirements, issuance of securities, branching and mergers and acquisitions.

Changes in Laws and Monetary Policies

     Recent Legislation. Various pieces of legislation, including proposals to change substantially the financial institution regulatory system, are from time to time introduced and considered by the Missouri state legislature and the United States Congress. In July 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which enacted substantial changes to the legal framework of the entire financial services industry. The Dodd-Frank Act mandates the passage of numerous rules and regulations by various regulatory agencies over the next few years. This law will change banking regulation and the operating environment of Hawthorn in substantial and unpredictable ways. It could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions and other financial institutions. Hawthorn cannot predict the impact that the Dodd-Frank Act, and the various regulations issued thereunder will have on its business.

     Fiscal Monetary Policies. Hawthorn’s business and earnings are affected significantly by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies. Hawthorn is particularly affected by the policies of the FRB, which regulates the supply of money and credit in the United States. Among the instruments of monetary policy available to the FRB are:

	•		conducting open market operations in United States government securities;
	•		changing the discount rates of borrowings of depository institutions;
	•		imposing or changing reserve requirements against depository institutions’ deposits; and
	•		imposing or changing reserve requirements against certain borrowings by bank and their affiliates.

     These methods are used in varying degrees and combinations to directly affect the availability of bank loans and deposits, as well as the interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The policies of the FRB have a material effect on Hawthorn’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

     The references in the foregoing discussion to various aspects of statutes and regulation are merely summaries, which do not purport to be complete and which are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risk Factors

     We are identifying important risks and uncertainties that could affect our Company’s results of operations, financial condition or business and that could cause them to differ materially from our Company’s historical results of operations, financial condition or business, or those contemplated by forward-looking statements made herein or elsewhere, by, or on behalf of, our Company. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those factors described below. The risk factors highlighted below are not the only ones that our Company faces.

     Because We Primarily Serve Central And West Central Missouri, A Decline In The Local Economic Conditions Could Lower Our Profitability. The profitability of Hawthorn is dependent on the profitability of its banking subsidiary, which operates out of central and west central Missouri. The financial condition of this bank is affected by fluctuations in the economic conditions prevailing in the portion of Missouri in which its operations are located. Accordingly, the financial conditions of both Hawthorn and its banking subsidiary would be adversely affected by deterioration in the general economic and real estate climate in Missouri.

     An increase in unemployment, a decrease in profitability of regional businesses or real estate values or an increase in interest rates are among the factors that could weaken the local economy. With a weaker local economy:

	•		customers may not want or need the products and services of our Bank,
	•		borrowers may be unable to repay their loans,
	•		the value of the collateral security of our Bank’s loans to borrowers may decline,
	•		the number of loan delinquencies and foreclosures may increase, and
	•		the overall quality of our Bank’s loan portfolio may decline.

     Making mortgage loans and consumer loans is a significant source of profits for Hawthorn’s banking subsidiary. If individual customers in the local area do not want or need these loans, profits may decrease. Although our Bank could make other investments, our Bank may earn less revenue on these investments than on loans. Also, our Bank’s losses on loans may increase if borrowers are unable to make payments on their loans.

     Interest Rate Changes May Reduce Our Profitability And Our Banking Subsidiary’s. The primary source of earnings for Hawthorn’s banking subsidiary is net interest income. To be profitable, our Bank has to earn more money in interest and fees on loans and other interest-earning assets than it pays as interest on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities and as other expenses. If prevailing interest rates decrease, the amount of interest our Bank earns on loans and investment securities may decrease more rapidly than the amount of interest our Bank has to pay on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. This would result in a decrease in the profitability of Hawthorn and its banking subsidiary.

     Changes in the level or structure of interest rates also affect

	•		our Bank’s ability to originate loans,
	•		the value of our Bank’s loan and securities portfolios,
	•		our Bank’s ability to realize gains from the sale of loans and securities,
	•		the average life of our Bank’s deposits, and
	•		our Bank’s ability to obtain deposits.

     Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately affect both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of our Bank’s assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets, other than interest-earning assets that mature in the short term. Our Bank’s interest rate management strategy is designed to stabilize net interest income and preserve capital over a broad range of interest rate movements by matching the interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities. Although Hawthorn believes that its Bank’s current mix of loans, mortgage-backed securities, investment securities and deposits is reasonable, significant fluctuations in interest rates may have a negative effect on the profitability of our Bank.

     Our Profitability Depends On Our Bank’s Asset Quality And Lending Risks. Success in the banking industry largely depends on the quality of loans and other assets. The loan officers of Hawthorn’s banking subsidiary are actively encouraged to identify deteriorating loans. Loans are also monitored and categorized through an analysis of their payment status. For example, recent reviews by our credit officer identified areas of concern that resulted in heightened attention being given to reducing concentrations of credit and, in particular, to strengthening credit quality and administration. Our Bank’s failure to timely and accurately monitor the quality of its loans and other assets could have a materially adverse effect on the operations and financial condition of Hawthorn and its banking subsidiary. There is a degree of credit risk associated with any lending activity. Our Bank attempts to minimize its credit risk through loan diversification. Although our Bank’s loan portfolio is varied, with no undue concentration in any one industry, substantially all of the loans in the portfolio have been made to borrowers in central, west central, and southwest Missouri. Therefore, the loan portfolio is susceptible to factors affecting the central, west

central, and southwest Missouri area and the level of non-performing assets is heavily dependent upon local conditions. There can be no assurance that the level of our Bank’s non-performing assets will not increase above current levels. High levels of non-performing assets could have a materially adverse effect on the operations and financial condition of Hawthorn and its banking subsidiary.

     Our Provision For Probable Loan Losses May Need To Be Increased. Hawthorn’s banking subsidiary makes a provision for loan losses based upon management’s estimate of probable losses in the loan portfolio and its consideration of prevailing economic conditions. The amount of future loan losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, which may be beyond our control, and these losses may exceed current estimates. We cannot fully predict the amount or timing of losses or whether the loss allowance will be adequate in the future. Our Bank may need to increase the provision for loan losses through additional provisions in the future if, among other things, the financial condition of any of its borrowers deteriorates, if its borrower fails to perform its obligations to it, or if real estate values decline. Furthermore, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our Bank’s loan portfolio, provision for loan losses, and real estate acquired by foreclosure. Such agencies may require our Bank to recognize additions to the provision for loan losses based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of the examination. Any additional provision for probable loan losses, whether required as a result of regulatory review or initiated by Hawthorn itself, may materially alter the financial outlook of Hawthorn and its banking subsidiary and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

     The Continuation Of Adverse Market Conditions In The U.S. Economy And The Markets In Which We Operate Could Adversely Impact Our Business. Negative developments beginning in the latter half of 2007 in the sub-prime mortgage market and the securitization markets for such loans, together with substantial volatility in oil prices and other factors, have resulted in uncertainty in the financial markets in general and a related general economic downturn, which have continued through 2009 and 2010 and in the first quarter of 2011. Dramatic declines in the housing market, with decreasing home prices and increasing delinquencies and foreclosures, have negatively impacted the credit performance of mortgage and construction loans and resulted in significant write-downs of assets by many financial institutions. In addition, the values of real estate collateral supporting many loans have declined and may continue to decline. General downward economic trends, reduced availability of commercial credit and increasing unemployment have negatively impacted the credit performance of commercial and consumer credit, resulting in additional write-downs. Concerns over the stability of the financial markets and the economy have resulted in decreased lending by financial institutions to their customers and to each other. This market turmoil and tightening of credit has led to increased commercial and consumer deficiencies, lack of customer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction in general business activity. Competition among depository institutions for deposits has increased significantly. Financial institutions have experienced decreased access to deposits or borrowings.

     A continued deterioration of overall market conditions, a continued economic downturn or prolonged economic stagnation in our markets may have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our common stock. If the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of the economy in areas where we lend continue to decline, this could result in, among other things, a further deterioration in credit quality or a continued reduced demand for credit, including a resultant adverse effect on our loan portfolio and provision for losses on loans. In addition, the severity and duration of the economic downturn is unknown and may exacerbate our exposure to credit risk, impair our ability to assess the creditworthiness of our customers or to estimate the values of our assets and adversely affect the ability of borrowers to perform under the terms of their lending arrangements with us. Negative conditions in the real estate markets where we operate could adversely affect our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans and the value of the underlying collateral. Real estate values are affected by various factors, including general economic conditions, governmental rules or policies and natural disasters. These factors may adversely impact our borrowers’ ability to make required payments, which in turn, may negatively impact our financial

results. As a result of the difficult market and economic conditions referred to above, there is a potential for new federal or state laws and regulations regarding lending and funding practices and liquidity standards, and for bank regulatory agencies to be very aggressive in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations. This increased government action may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue certain business opportunities.

     We do not expect that the difficult market and economic conditions are likely to improve in the near future. A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult conditions on us, our customers and the other financial institutions in our market. As a result, we may experience increases in foreclosures, delinquencies and customer bankruptcies, as well as more restricted access to funds, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price may be adversely affected.

     The Soundness Of Other Financial Institutions Could Adversely Affect Us. Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and we routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, mutual and hedge funds, and other institutional clients. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of our counterparty or client. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the loan or derivative exposure due us. There is no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

     Current And Further Deterioration In The Housing Market Could Cause Further Increases In Delinquencies And Non-Performing Assets, Including Loan Charge-Offs, And Depress Our Income And Growth. The volume of our one-to-four family residential mortgages and home equity lines of credit may decrease during economic downturns as a result of, among other things, a decrease in real estate values, an increase in unemployment, a slowdown in housing price appreciation or increases in interest rates. These factors could reduce our earnings and consequently our financial condition because:

	•		the borrowers may not be able to repay their loans;
	•		the value of the collateral securing our loans to borrowers may decline further;
	•		the quality of our loan portfolio may decline further; and
	•		customers may not want or need our products and services.

Any of these scenarios could cause an increase in delinquencies and non-performing assets, require us to charge-off a higher percentage of our loans, increase substantially our provision for losses on loans, or make fewer loans, which would reduce income.

     Recent Legislative And Regulatory Actions. There can be no assurance as to the actual impact that the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, or any other governmental program will have on the financial markets, including the extreme levels of volatility and limited credit availability currently being experienced. The failure of any such program or the U.S. government to stabilize the financial markets and a continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions and the national and regional economy could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, access to credit or the trading price of our common stock.

     On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act restructures the regulation of depository institutions and contains various provisions designed to enhance the regulation of depository institutions and prevent the recurrence of a financial crisis such as that which occurred in 2008-2009. Included is the creation of a new federal agency to administer and enforce consumer and fair lending laws, a function that is now performed by the depository institution regulators. The federal preemption of state laws currently accorded federally chartered depository institutions will be reduced as well. The full impact of The Dodd-Frank Act on our business and operations will not be known for years until regulations implementing the statute are written and adopted. The Dodd-Frank Act may have a material impact on our operations, particularly through increased compliance costs resulting from possible future consumer and fair lending regulations.

     The FDIC’s Changes in the Calculation of Deposit Insurance Premiums and Ability to Levy Special Assessments Could Increase Our Non-Interest Expense And May Reduce Our Profitability. The range of base assessment rates currently varies from 12 to 45 basis points depending on an institution’s risk category, with newly added financial measures resulting in increased assessment rates for institutions heavily relying on brokered deposits to support rapid asset growth. However, the Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to amend its regulations to redefine the assessment base used for calculating deposit insurance assessments. On February 9, 2011, the FDIC adopted a final rule that defines the assessment base as the average consolidated total assets during the assessment period minus the average tangible equity of the insured depository institution during the assessment period. The FDIC also imposed a new assessment rate scale. Under the new system, banks will pay assessments at a rate between 5 and 35 basis points per assets minus tangible equity, depending upon an institution’s risk category (the final rule also includes progressively lower assessment rate schedules when the FDIC’s reserve ratio reaches certain levels). The rulemaking changes the current assessment rate schedule so the schedule will result in the collection of assessment revenue that is approximately the same as generated under the current rate schedule and current assessment base. Nearly all banks with assets less than $10 billion will pay smaller deposit insurance assessments as a result of the new rule. The majority of the changes in the FDIC’s final rule become effective on April 1, 2011.

     The FDIC has the statutory authority to impose special assessments on insured depository institutions in an amount, and for such purposes, as the FDIC may deem necessary. The change in the calculation methodology for deposit insurance premiums and the possible emergency special assessments could increase our non-interest expense and may adversely affect our profitability.

     Due To Our Participation In The Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, We Are Subject To Several Restrictions Including Restrictions On Our Ability To Declare Or Pay Dividends And Repurchase Our Shares. In December 2008, we elected to participate in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program by issuing and selling to the Treasury shares of our Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock. As a result of this participation, our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock is limited. Specifically, until December 19, 2011 we will not be permitted to increase dividends on our common stock without the Treasury’s approval unless the preferred stock issued to the Treasury has been redeemed or transferred. Further, we will not be able to declare dividends payments on common, junior preferred or pari passu shares if we are in arrears on the dividends on the preferred stock issued to the Treasury. In addition, our ability to repurchase our common stock and other securities is restricted. The Treasury’s consent generally will be required for us to repurchase any of our common stock or other securities until December 19, 2011 unless the preferred stock issued to the Treasury has been redeemed or transferred. Further, common, junior preferred or pari passu shares may not be repurchased if we are in arrears on the dividends payable to the Treasury on the preferred stock.

     The Failure Of Our Bank To Restore Unappropriated Retained Earnings To A Positive Balance Or Receive Regulatory Approval To Pay Dividends Could Impair Our Company’s Liquidity And Ability To Pay Dividends. Bank dividends are the principal source of funds for payment of dividends by our Company to our shareholders. Our Bank is subject to regulations which require the maintenance of

minimum capital requirements. As a result of our Bank paying out dividends to us in excess of its 2010 earnings, our Bank’s unappropriated retained earnings balance at December 31, 2010 was negative. As a result, our Bank must obtain regulatory approval prior to paying dividends to our Company until such time as the unappropriated retained earnings balance is restored to a positive balance. There can be no assurance that such approval will be obtained for the payment of dividends at levels previously paid by our Bank, if at all, and there can be no assurance that our Bank’s unappropriated retained earnings balance will be restored to a positive balance.

     We May Elect Or Be Compelled To Seek Additional Capital In The Future, But That Capital May Not Be Available When It Is Needed. We are required by our regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. In addition, we may elect to raise additional capital to support the growth of our business or to finance acquisitions, if any, or we may elect to raise additional capital for other reasons. In that regard, a number of financial institutions have recently raised considerable amounts of capital as a result of a deterioration in their results of operations and financial condition arising from the turmoil in the mortgage loan market, deteriorating economic conditions, declines in real estate values and other factors. Should we elect or be required by regulatory authorities to raise additional capital, we may seek to do so through the issuance of, among other things, our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock, which could dilute your ownership interest in the Company. Although we remain “well-capitalized” and have not had a deterioration in our liquidity, the future cost and availability of capital may be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets, economic conditions and a number of other factors, many of which are outside of our control. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of our ability to raise additional capital if needed or on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed or on terms acceptable to us, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

     If We Are Unable To Successfully Compete For Customers In Our Market Area, Our Financial Condition And Results Of Operations Could Be Adversely Affected. Hawthorn’s banking subsidiary faces substantial competition in making loans, attracting deposits and providing other financial products and services. Our Bank has numerous competitors for customers in its market area.

Such competition for loans comes principally from:

     Many of these competitors have greater financial resources and name recognition, more locations, more advanced technology and more financial products to offer than our Bank. Competition from larger institutions may increase due to an acceleration of bank mergers and consolidations in Missouri and the rest of the nation. In addition, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act removes many of the remaining restrictions in federal banking law against cross-ownership between banks and other financial institutions, such as insurance companies and securities firms. The law will likely increase the number and financial strength of companies that compete directly with our Bank. The profitability of our Bank depends of its continued ability to attract new customers and compete in Missouri. New competitors, as well as the expanding operations of existing

competitors, have had, and are expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on our Bank’s market share of deposits and loans in our Bank’s service areas. If our Bank is unable to successfully compete, its financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

     We May Experience Difficulties In Managing Our Growth And In Effectively Integrating Newly Acquired Companies. As part of our general strategy, Hawthorn may continue to acquire banks and businesses that it believes provide a strategic fit with its business. To the extent that our Company does grow, there can be no assurances that we will be able to adequately and profitably manage such growth. Acquiring other banks and businesses will involve risks commonly associated with acquisitions, including:

	•		potential exposure to liabilities of the banks and businesses acquired;
	•		difficulty and expense of integrating the operations and personnel of the banks and businesses acquired;
	•		difficulty and expense of instituting the necessary systems and procedures, including accounting and financial reporting systems, to manage the combined enterprises on a profitable basis;
	•		potential disruption to our existing business and operations;
	•		potential diversion of the time and attention of our management; and
	•		impairment of relationships with and the possible loss of key employees and customers of the banks and businesses acquired.

The success of our internal growth strategy will depend primarily on the ability of our banking subsidiary to generate an increasing level of loans and deposits at acceptable risk levels and on acceptable terms without significant increases in non-interest expenses relative to revenues generated. There is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our internal growth strategy.

     We May Be Adversely Affected By Changes In Laws And Regulations Affecting The Financial Services Industry. Banks and bank holding companies such as Hawthorn are subject to regulation by both federal and state bank regulatory agencies. The regulations, which are designed to protect borrowers and promote certain social policies, include limitations on the operations of banks and bank holding companies, such as minimum capital requirements and restrictions on dividend payments. The regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervision and enforcement activities and their examination policies, including the imposition of restrictions on the operation of a bank, the classification of assets by an institution and requiring an increase in a bank’s allowance for loan losses. These regulations are not necessarily designed to maximize the profitability of banking institutions.

     In July 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act, which enacted substantial changes to the legal framework of the entire financial services industry. The Dodd-Frank Act mandates the passage of numerous rules and regulations by various regulatory agencies over the next few years. This legislation will change banking regulation and the operating environment of Hawthorn in substantial and unpredictable ways. It could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions and other financial institutions. Hawthorn cannot predict the impact that the Dodd-Frank Act, and the various regulations issued thereunder will have on its business.

     In December 2008, we elected to participate in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. Congress has held hearings on implementation of, and the use of funds received in, the Capital Purchase Program and may adopt further legislation impacting financial institutions that have obtained funding under the program. The Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program has requested information from Capital Purchase Program participants, including a description of past and anticipated uses of the funds received and plans for addressing executive compensation requirements. We have responded to the Special Inspector

General’s request, but it is unclear at this point what the ramifications of such disclosure are or may be in the future.

     These, and other future changes in the banking laws and regulations, could have a material adverse effect on the operations and financial condition of Hawthorn and its banking subsidiary.

     Our Success Largely Depends On The Efforts Of Our Executive Officers. The success of Hawthorn and its banking subsidiary has been largely dependent on the efforts of David Turner, Chairman, CEO, and President and the other executive officers. These individuals are expected to continue to perform their services. However, the loss of the services of Mr. Turner, or any of the other key executive officers could have a materially adverse effect on Hawthorn and its subsidiary bank.

     We Cannot Predict How Changes In Technology Will Affect Our Business. The financial services market, including banking services, is increasingly affected by advances in technology, including developments in:

     Our ability to compete successfully in the future will depend on whether they can anticipate and respond to technological changes. To develop these and other new technologies our Bank will likely have to make additional capital investments. Although our Bank continually invests in new technology, there can be no assurance that our Bank will have sufficient resources or access to the necessary proprietary technology to remain competitive in the future.

     Additional Factors. Additional risks and uncertainties that may affect the future results of operations, financial condition or business of our Company and its banking subsidiary include, but are not limited to: (i) adverse publicity, news coverage by the media, or negative reports by brokerage firms, industry and financial analysts regarding our Bank or our Company; and (ii) changes in accounting policies and practices.

Forward-Looking Statements

     This report, including information included or incorporated by reference in this report, contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, strategy, future performance and business of our Company and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation:

	•		statements that are not historical in nature, and
	•		statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends” or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the following factors:

	•		competitive pressures among financial services companies may increase significantly,
	•		changes in the interest rate environment may reduce interest margins,
	•		general economic conditions, either nationally or in Missouri, may be less favorable than expected and may adversely affect the quality of our loans and other assets,
	•		increases in non-performing assets in our loan portfolios and adverse economic conditions may necessitate increases to our provisions for loan losses,
	•		costs or difficulties related to the integration of the business of Hawthorn and its acquisition targets may be greater than expected,
	•		legislative or regulatory changes may adversely affect the business in which Hawthorn and its subsidiaries are engaged, and
	•		changes may occur in the securities markets.

We have described additional factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements, which factors are identified in Item 1A of this report under the heading “Risk Factors.” Other factors that we have not identified in this report could also have this effect. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, which speak only as of the date such statement is made. Except as otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

     Our Company’s exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by our Bank’s asset/liability committee and board of directors. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize those risks. Tools used by our Bank’s management include the standard GAP report subject to different rate shock scenarios. At December 31, 2010, the rate shock scenario models indicated that annual net interest income could change by as much as (18.4)% to 22.2% should interest rates rise or fall within 300 basis points from their current level over a one year period. However there are no assurances that the change will not be more or less than this estimate.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

     Our Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. It should be noted that any system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of any such system, there can be no assurance that any design will always succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.

     Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

     Our Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including controls over the preparation of the schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in accordance with the instructions to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C), as of December 31, 2010, based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based upon its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including controls over the preparation of the schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in accordance with the instructions to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C), is effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

     Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, including controls over the preparation of the schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in accordance with the instructions to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C), as of December 31, 2010, has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

     Changes in Internal Controls.

     There has been no change in our Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc.:

     We have audited Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc.’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the

design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because management’s assessment and our audit were conducted to also meet the reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA), management’s assessment and our audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting included controls over the preparation of the schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in accordance with the instructions to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9 C). A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

     Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

     In our opinion, Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

     We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, and our report dated March 30, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
