Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan
Jefferson City, Missouri
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for benefits of Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan
as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule of
Assets (Held at End of Year) has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial
statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
financial statements but includes supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
. The supplemental information is the
responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles
to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the
completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental
information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is
presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Description of the Plan
|
The following description of the Hawthorn Bancshares,
Inc. Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan (“Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Document
and
Summary Plan Description
for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions, which are available from the
Plan Administrator.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored
by Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) for the benefit of the employees of
the Company who have at least 90 days of service and are age 21 or older. An eligible employee becomes a participant in the Plan
on the first day of each quarter of the Plan year. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974
(ERISA). Capital Bank and Trust Company is the trustee of the Plan.
Contributions
The Company profit-sharing contributions are discretionary
as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. All employer contributions are allocated to a participant’s account
based on that participant’s compensation compared to the total compensation of all eligible participants. In addition, the
Company matches the participant’s salary deferral into the plan dollar for dollar up to 3 percent of the participant’s
annual salary. All contributions are made conditioned upon their deductibility for federal income tax purposes.
Participants have the option to make voluntary contributions
to the Plan up to the annual limit set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Participant Investment Account Options
Investment account options available include various
mutual funds and common stock of the Company. Each participant has the option of directing his/her contributions into any of the
separate investment accounts and may change the allocation daily.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with
the participant’s contribution, the Company’s contribution, plan earnings and forfeitures of terminated participants’
nonvested accounts. Allocations are based on participant earnings. The benefits to which a participant is entitled is the benefit
that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Vesting
Participant
contributions and earnings thereon are 100 percent vested at all times. Employer contributions and earnings thereon vest according
to the following schedule:

Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
Forfeited accounts
At the time a participant terminates his/her employment,
the nonvested portion of the employer contribution account is forfeited and allocated to eligible participants on a pro rata allocation
method. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, plan assets include $19,302 and $15,954, respectively, of forfeitures to be allocated to
eligible participants on a pro rata allocation method.
Payment of Benefits
Under the terms of the Plan, participants are entitled
to receive the amount credited to their accounts upon normal retirement at the age of 65 or disability retirement. Participants
terminating employment prior to retirement are entitled to receive that portion of their account that is vested. In the event of
death, the participant’s account becomes fully vested and the balance is paid to the designated beneficiary. Distributions
under the Plan are payable in a lump sum or through installments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements are prepared
on the accrual basis of accounting except for benefits, which are recorded upon distribution, and present the net assets available
for plan benefits and changes in those net assets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of net assets and changes in net assets and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value
is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. Quoted market prices, if available, are used to value investments. Mutual funds are valued at net asset
value (NAV) of shares held by the Plan at year end. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade-date
basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net (depreciation) appreciation
includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits payments are recorded to participants upon
distribution.
Administrative Expenses
The administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by
the Company.

New Accounting Standards
In July 2015, Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued ASU 2015-12,
Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans
(Topic 960),
Defined Contribution Pension Plans
(Topic 962),
Health and Welfare Benefit Plans
(Topic 965):
(Part I) Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts; (Part
II) Plan Investment Disclosures; and (Part III) Measurement Date Practical Expedient.
The amendments in Part II of ASU 2015-12
require plans to disaggregate their investments measured using fair value only by general type, either on the financial statements
or in the notes. Part II also eliminated the requirement to disclose the net appreciation/depreciation in fair value of investments
by general type and the requirements to disclose individual investments that represent 5% or more of net assets available for benefits.
The amendments in ASU 2015-12 are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.
The Company elected to early adopt Part II of ASU 2015-12 for the December 31, 2015 plan year end. Parts I and III are not applicable
to the Plan. As such the accounting and disclosures in the Company’s financial statements and notes were applied retrospectively
to all periods presented.

Fair Value of Plan Assets
|
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820,
Fair Value
Measurements
, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level
3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC
820 are described as follows:
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Inputs to the valuation
methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan can access at the
measurement date.
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
Inputs other than quoted
prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as:
|
|
|
·
|
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
|
|
|
·
|
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
|
|
|
·
|
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
|
|
|
·
|
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
|
|
|
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must
be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
Unobservable inputs
supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets.
|
Following is a description of
the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in methodologies used at December
31, 2015 and 2014.
Mutual funds:
Shares
held in mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the Plan at year end. Mutual funds held by the Plan
are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish
their daily NAV and transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the plan are deemed to be actively traded.
Common Stock:
The Company’s
common stock is valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded.

Party-in-interest Transactions
|
The Plan held an investment of 323,363 and 299,704
shares of common stock of the Company with a fair value of $5,080,028 and $4,270,778 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively,
and received dividends of $61,360 and $57,166 on such shares during 2015 and 2014, respectively. These investments are considered
allowable party-in-interest transactions under ERISA guidelines.
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds
selected by the Company’s retirement committee and managed by the participants
.
Capital Bank and Trust Company is
the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees incurred
by the Plan for the investment management services are included in net appreciation in fair value of the investment, as they are
paid through revenue sharing, rather than a direct payment. The Plan Sponsor pays directly any other fees related to the Plan’s
operations.
The IRS issued its latest determination letter on
March 3, 2006, which stated that the Plan and its underlying trust qualify under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code and, therefore, are exempt from federal income taxes. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
However, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, we believe the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as
of the financial statement date. With a few exceptions, the Plan is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years
before 2012.
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so,
the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to provision
of ERISA. In such an event, the participants’ accounts become fully vested and are not subject to forfeiture.

Risks and Uncertainties
|
The Plan invests in various
investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due
to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values
of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the participants’ account
balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
