Opinion on the Financial Statements
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, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred
to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
Basis of Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of
the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting 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 included performing procedures to assess the risks
of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to
those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

Report on Supplemental Information
The supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule of
Assets (Held at End of Year) for the year ended December 31, 2017, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction
with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management.
Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule 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 schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental
schedule, 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 Schedule of
Delinquent Participant Contributions is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements
taken 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).
Effective July 1, 2016, an automatic
deferral feature was added to the Plan. Accordingly, the Company will automatically withhold a portion of the participant’s
compensation from each payroll period and contribute that amount to the Plan as a pre-tax 401(k) deferral unless a contrary election
is made.
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.

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, 2017 and 2016, plan assets include $66,826 and $42,017, 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 appreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

|
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, 2017 and 2016.
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
365,471 and 343,641 shares of common stock of the Company with a fair value of $7.6 million and $6.1 million at December 31, 2017
and 2016, respectively, and received dividends of $91,075 and $65,915 on such shares during 2017 and 2016, 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 2014.
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.
|
(7)
|
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.
