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

2

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, 2011, Hawthorn and its subsidiaries had approximately 310 full-time and 55 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

3

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 second largest (in terms of deposits) of the thirteen banks within Cole county, the largest (in terms of deposits) of the nine banks within Henry county, the third largest (in terms of deposits) of the eighteen 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. Hawthorn also is subject to a number of restrictions and requirements imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, loans to directors or executive officers of the Hawthorn and its subsidiaries, the preparation and certification of the Hawthorn’s consolidated financial statements, the duties of Hawthorn’s audit committee, relations with and functions performed by Hawthorn’s independent auditors, and various accounting and corporate governance matters.

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.

4

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.

5

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, 2011, Hawthorn was in compliance with all of the FRB’s capital adequacy guidelines. Hawthorn’s capital ratios on December 31, 2011 are shown below:

Leverage Ratio (3% minimum requirement)	Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio (4% minimum requirement)			Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio (8% minimum requirement)
11.52%		15.16	%		18.03	%

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

6

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 classify an insured financial institution in one of the following five categories, depending upon the amount of its regulatory capital:

• “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 capital ratio);

• “adequately capitalized” if it has a total Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% or greater (or a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% or greater, if the bank has a Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management, Liquidity, and Sensitivity to market risk (CAMELS) rating of 1), a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater;

• “undercapitalized” if it has a total Tier 1 leverage ratio that is less than 4% (or a Tier 1 leverage ratio that is less than 3%, if the bank has a CAMELS rating of 1), a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4% or a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8%;

• “significantly undercapitalized” if it has a total Tier 1 leverage ratio that is less than 3%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3% or a total risk-based ratio that is less than 6%; and

• “critically undercapitalized” if it has a Tier 1 leverage ratio that is equal to or less than 2%.

The federal regulatory agencies are required to take prompt corrective action against undercapitalized financial institutions. On December 31, 2011, 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, 2011 are shown on the following chart.

Leverage Ratio (5% minimum requirement)	Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio (6% minimum requirement)			Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio (10% minimum requirement)
10.45%		13.74	%		15.00	%

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

7

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 Company’s primary source of funds is dividends from our Bank, and 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. 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). 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. It also creates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which will overtake supervision of most providers of consumer financial products and services, and will be empowered to declare acts or practices related to the delivery of a consumer financial product or service to be “unfair, deceptive or abusive.” This law will

8

continue to change banking regulation and the operating environment of Hawthorn in substantial and unpredictable ways. These changes 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 necessarily 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 earn 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.

10

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 the first quarter of 2012. 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.

11

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;

12

• 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 scope of 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, 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. We are prohibited from repurchasing any common, junior preferred or pari passu shares if we are in arrears on the dividends payable to the Treasury on the preferred stock.

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:

•	other commercial banks	•	mortgage banking companies
•	savings banks	•	finance companies
•	savings and loan associations	•	credit unions

Competition for deposits comes principally from:

•	other commercial banks	•	brokerage firms
•	savings banks	•	insurance companies
•	savings and loan associations	•	money market mutual funds
•	credit unions	•	mutual funds (such as corporate and government securities funds)

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

14

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

15

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:

•	telecommunications	•	Internet-based banking
•	data processing	•	telebanking
•	automation	•	debit cards and so-called “smart cards”

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.

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,

20

2011, the rate shock scenario models indicated that annual net interest income could change by as much as (25.4)% to 36.0% should interest rates rise or fall within 400 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, 2011. 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,

21

as of December 31, 2011, 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, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2011, 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, 2011 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, 2011, 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.

22

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, 2011, 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, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011, and our report dated March 30, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Exhibit 13

2011

ANNUAL REPORT

TO

SHAREHOLDERS

HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC.

Lee’s Summit, Missouri

March 30, 2012

Dear Investors:

Given the significantly harsh market conditions we faced, 2011 was a difficult year for your company; but it was nevertheless a successful one. The banking industry is recovering. For 2011, our company reported a net profit of $2.9 million compared to a net loss of $3.6 million for 2010. Income available to common shareholders for 2011 was $0.9 million compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $5.5 million for 2010. On a per share basis, this equates to a net profit of $0.19 per common share for 2011 compared to a net loss of $1.19 for 2010. Although we have made significant progress, persistent challenges remain and our operating results are clearly below the level for which we are striving. We are working through our credit issues in a methodical process and have seen incremental improvements.

The $6.4 million improvement in earnings results largely from reductions in other real estate expenses (which included impairment valuation write-downs in 2010) and lower loan loss provisions. Credit quality remains unacceptable with non-performing assets equaling 8.11% of loans and foreclosed assets. Nonperforming loans declined from $56.3 million in 2010 to $53.7 million in 2011 while other real estate owned increased $2.3 million reflecting the migration of nonperforming loans to assets closer to cash. Provision expense was reduced from $15.3 million in 2010 to $11.5 million in 2011.

As we evaluate our loan portfolio today, we are not seeing the same level of continual deterioration in our portfolio that we have seen in the recent past. A significant portion of our reserves is allocated to loans of customers who are trying to work through their problems but have seen serious deterioration in the value of their collateral — which requires a reserve. Our philosophy is to try and work with our customers who are willing to work with us. It may be a longer path, but we believe it will lead to less long-term loss for both the customer and the bank.

Hawthorn’s core earnings remain strong due to further net interest margin strengthening despite a lower volume of earning assets. For 2011, a 9% decline in average loan volume resulted in a $54.1 million decline in earning assets; however, Hawthorn’s net interest margin increased from 3.78% at 2010 to 3.92% for 2011 mostly offsetting the decline in earning assets. Maintaining a strong core earnings base has enabled Hawthorn to absorb the negative financial impact of the recession to a large extent.

Capital was built slightly through earnings and proportionately through balance sheet discipline. Hawthorn’s total risk-based capital ratio was 18.03% at year end 2011 and our leverage capital ratio was 11.52% for the same period. As such, Hawthorn continues to be well-capitalized by regulatory definitions. We are disappointed that 2011 earnings were not higher; however, we are working to improve asset quality which will equate to greater shareholder value in the long-term. In 2008, we participated in the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (commonly called TARP) which added $30.3 million in additional capital to the company. It is our intent to fully repay TARP by the end of 2013. Hawthorn has both the capacity and ability to repay the TARP debt without having to raise additional capital. As of December 31, 2011, inclusion of the TARP funds in Hawthorn’s capital structure increased total risk-based capital from 14.71% to 18.03%. As such, Hawthorn would continue to exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels after repaying the TARP funds.

I am pleased, though not entirely satisfied, to report the results which reflect an improved, profitable 2011 at Hawthorn Bank. Despite facing significant economic headwinds, we reported positive net income for 2011, continued to pay our regular quarterly dividends to shareholders, and increased our regulatory and tangible common capital ratios. Hawthorn Bank has a solid future.

Sincerely,

David T. Turner

Chairman, Chief Executive Officer,

and President

A WORD CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, 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 under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in other reports that we file with the SEC from time to time, additional factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. 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 they were made.

HAWTHORN BANCSHARES, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Through the branch network of its subsidiary bank, our Company, Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc., provides a broad range of commercial and personal banking services, including certificates of deposit, individual retirement and other time deposit accounts, checking and other demand deposit accounts, interest checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts. We also provide a wide range of lending services, including real estate, commercial, installment, and other consumer loans. Other financial services that we provide include automatic teller machines, trust services, credit related insurance, and safe deposit boxes. The geographic areas in which we provide our products and services include the communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, Branson and Lee’s Summit, Missouri. The products and services are offered to customers primarily within these geographical areas.

Our Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income derived primarily from lending and deposit taking activities. A secondary source of revenue is investment income. Our Company also derives income from trust, brokerage, credit card and mortgage banking activities and service charge income.

Much of our Company’s business is commercial, commercial real estate development, and mortgage lending. Our Company has experienced soft loan demand in the communities within which we operate during the current economic slowdown. Our Company’s income from mortgage brokerage activities is directly dependent on mortgage rates and the level of home purchases and refinancings.

The successes of our Company’s growth strategy depends 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies are considered most critical to the understanding of our Company’s financial condition and results of operations. These critical accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Because these estimates and judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experiences. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition and/or results of operations could reasonably be expected. The impact and any associated risks related to our critical accounting policies on our business operations is discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to our Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We have identified the accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses as critical to the understanding of our Company’s results of operations, since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates that could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change. Further discussion of the methodology used in establishing the allowance and the impact of any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is provided in Note 1 to our Company’s consolidated financial statements and is also discussed in the Lending and Credit Management section below. Many of the loans are deemed collateral dependent for purposes of the measurement of the impairment loss, thus the fair value of the underlying collateral and sensitivity of such fair values due to changing market conditions, supply and demand, condition of the collateral and other factors can be volatile over periods of time. Such volatility can have an impact on the financial performance of our Company.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset / liability method by recognizing the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing our Company’s future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns such as realization of the effects of temporary differences, net operating loss carry forwards and changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. A valuation allowance is established when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable. In this case, our Company would adjust the recorded value of our deferred tax asset, which would result in a direct charge to income tax expense in the period that the determination was made. Likewise, our Company would reverse the valuation allowance when the realization of the deferred tax asset is expected. In addition, our Company is subject to the continuous examination of our tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Our Company accrues for penalties and interest related to income taxes in income tax expense. At December 31, 2010, total accrued interest was $31,000 and total interest expense recognized for the year ended 2010 was $24,000. As of December 31, 2011, our Company released $28,000 of interest accrued related to the release of $221,000 of uncertain tax provisions.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets consist of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Other real estate owned assets are initially recorded as held for sale at the lower of the loan balance or fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Any adjustment is recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses. Our Company relies on external appraisals and assessment of property values by internal staff. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgment based on experience and expertise of internal specialists. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. The write-downs are recorded as other real estate expense. Our Company establishes a valuation allowance related to other real estate owned on an asset-by-asset basis. The valuation allowance is created during the holding period when the fair value less cost to sell is lower than the “cost” of a parcel of other real estate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ANALYSIS

Our Company has prepared all of the consolidated financial information in this report in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, our Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Noninterest income decreased $1,281,000 or 12.2% to $9,200,000 for 2011 compared to $10,481,000 for 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of a $844,000 decrease in the gains on sales of mortgage loans and a $544,000 decrease in other income. Our Company’s loans sold decreased from $106,547,000 for 2010 to $74,983,000 for 2011. A decrease in refinancing activity impacted both the volume of loans sold and gains recognized. Our Company was servicing $307,016,000 of mortgage loans at December 31, 2011 compared to $298,325,000 at December 31, 2010. The decrease in other noninterest income was primarily due to a $268,000 refund of prior year’s processing fees received in 2010 and a $139,000 decrease in credit card income. Our Company had no sales of debt securities during 2011 or 2010.

Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

Noninterest income decreased $221,000 or 2.1% to $10,481,000 for 2010 compared to $10,702,000 for 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of a $481,000 decrease in the gains on sales of mortgage loans and a $310,000 decrease in service charges on deposit accounts. Although refinancing activity substantially increased during the last half of 2010, our Company experienced more refinancing activity throughout 2009, impacting both volumes of loans sold and gains recognized. Our Company was servicing $298,325,000 of mortgage loans at December 31, 2010 compared to $269,475,000 at December 31, 2009. The decrease in noninterest income was partially offset by an increase in other income that included a $268,000 refund of prior year’s processing fees and a $227,000 increase in credit card income, of which $167,000 was due to a nonmaterial correction. Our Company recognized $606,000 in gain on sales and calls of debt securities during 2009. Our Company had no sales of debt securities during 2010.

Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Noninterest expense decreased $8,007,000, or 17.9%, to $36,844,000 for 2011 compared to $44,851,000 for 2010. The decrease primarily resulted from a $7,068,000, or 72.1%, decease in other real estate expense, a $544,000, or 32.9%, decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance assessment, and an $144,000, or 1.0% decrease in salary expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $227,000, or 5.7%, increase in employee benefits expense. Our Company recorded a $1,252,000 provision for other real estate owned, included in other real estate expense on foreclosed property for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $6,158,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Our Company recognized $18,000 in losses on sales on foreclosed properties for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2,071,000 in losses for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in FDIC insurance assessments was due to amendments made by the FDIC effective for the third quarter of 2011 to implement revisions to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The last six months of 2011 reflect a new assessment base using assets and tier one capital in the assessment calculation. A slight decrease in the number of employees for 2011 compared to 2010 primarily resulted in the decrease in salary expense that was offset by an increase in employee benefits primarily due to an increase in medical insurance premiums.

Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

Noninterest expense increased $8,121,000, or 22.1%, to $44,851,000 for 2010 compared to $36,730,000 for 2009. Other real estate expense increased $8,615,000, or 724.6%, legal, examination, and professional fees increased $219,000, or 17.9%, partially offset by a decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance assessment of $868,000, or 34.5%. The increase in other real estate expense reflects expenses incurred related to the increase in our Company’s foreclosed property for 2010. $6,158,000 of this expense was incurred for the fourth quarter when our Company recorded a provision to the valuation allowance for other real estate owned based on current appraisals received on two commercial real estate properties. The increase in legal, examination, and professional fees primarily resulted in an increase in accrued expenses representing our Company’s estimated obligation in a suit filed against Hawthorn Bank found in favor of the customer. See Note 17 Commitments and Contingencies for further explanation in the consolidated financial statements. The decrease in the FDIC insurance assessment is a result of a decrease in the estimated expense accrued for 2010 in comparison to 2009 and an increase in special assessments for 2009.

Fourth Quarter Results for 2011

Comparing fourth quarter 2011 to third quarter 2011:

Our Company’s net loss of ($1,522,000) for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 decreased $2,540,000, compared to net income of $1,018,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011. Net interest income decreased to $10,548,000 from $10,804,000 over the same period. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in average interest earning assets from $1,092,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011 to $1,082,000 for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011.

The fourth quarter 2011 provision for loan losses of $5,880,000 was $3,870,000 higher than third quarter 2011’s provision of $2,010,000 and was based upon management’s determination of the loan loss reserve required to cover probable losses in the loan portfolio at year-end.

Noninterest income of $2,612,000 for fourth quarter 2011 increased $254,000 from third quarter 2011’s noninterest income of $2,358,000. This increase was primarily a result of gains on sales of mortgages increased $325,000 to $756,000 for the fourth quarter of 2011 from $431,000 in the third quarter of 2011. Our Company’s loans sold were $31,491,000 for three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $22,543,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Noninterest expense of $9,533,000 for fourth quarter 2011 increased by $608,000 from third quarter 2011’s noninterest expense of $8,925,000. This increase primarily resulted from a $647,000 increase in other real estate expenses from $524,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $1,171,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Included in this increase was a $370,000 increase to the provision for the valuation allowance for other real estate owned. Partially offsetting this increase was a $277,000 decrease in the FDIC insurance assessment calculated for the fourth quarter of 2011 using the results from the third quarter call report.

Comparing fourth quarter 2011 to fourth quarter 2010:

Our Company’s net loss of ($1,522,000) for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 decreased $5,230,000, compared to a net loss of ($6,752,000) for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010. Net interest income of $10,548,000 decreased $154,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in average interest earning assets from $1,132,000 for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 to $1,082,000 for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011.

The fourth quarter 2011 provision for loan losses of $5,880,000 was $2,270,000 less than the fourth quarter 2010 provision of $8,150,000 and was based upon management’s determination of the loan loss reserve required to cover probable losses in the loan portfolio at year-end.

Noninterest income of $2,612,000 for the fourth quarter 2011 decreased by $503,000 from noninterest income of $3,115,000 for the fourth quarter 2010. This decrease was a result of $756,000 in gains on sales of mortgages for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $960,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Our Company’s loans sold were $38,001,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $31,491,000 for three months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in noninterest income was also a result of our Company receiving a $268,000 refund of prior year’s processing fees during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Noninterest expense of $9,533,000 for the fourth quarter 2011 decreased $6,501,000 from the fourth quarter 2010 noninterest expense of $16,035,000. This decrease primarily resulted from a $6,158,000 provision to the valuation allowance for other real estate owned based on current appraisals received on two commercial real estate properties for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Income taxes (benefit)

Income taxes as a percentage of earnings (loss) before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements were 17.2% for 2011, compared to 46.5% for 2010, and 27.3% for 2009. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2011 in comparison to 2010 was due to the recognition of tax benefits during the fourth quarter of 2011 as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitation on our Company’s 2007 state tax return. The increase in the effective tax rate for 2010 in comparison to 2009 is primarily the result of tax exempt income and other tax benefits increasing the overall income tax benefit related to the pre-tax loss. As a result, these calculated tax benefits increase the statutory tax rate in a year where our Company has a pre-tax loss versus a decrease in the statutory tax rate in years with positive pre-tax income. In addition, 2009 tax expense reflects the recognition of tax benefits as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations on our Company’s 2005 state tax return during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Lending and Credit Management

Interest earned on the loan portfolio is a primary source of interest income for our Company. Net loans represented 70.8% of total assets as of December 31, 2011 compared to 73.7% as of December 31, 2010.

Lending activities are conducted pursuant to an established loan policy approved by our Bank’s Board of Directors. The Bank’s credit review process is comprised of a regional loan committee with an established approval limit. In addition, a senior loan committee reviews all credit relationships in aggregate over an established dollar amount. The senior loan committee meets weekly and is comprised of senior managers of the Bank.

A summary of loans, by major class within our Company’s loan portfolio as of the dates indicated are as follows:

	Balance at December 31,
(In thousands)	2011		2010		2009		2008		2007
	Amount		Amount		Amount		Amount		Amount
Commercial, financial, and agricultural	$	128,555	$	131,382	$	151,399	$	153,386	$	151,488

Total loans	$	842,930	$	898,472	$	991,614	$	1,009,103	$	911,278

Our Company’s loan portfolio decreased $55,542,000, or 6.2%, from 2010 to 2011, primarily due to repayments, charge-offs and transfers to other real estate owned. Due to reduced loan demand during the year 2011, loan repayments exceeded new originations. This reduction in demand was seen throughout our Company’s loan portfolio. Contributing to the decline of our loan portfolio were gross loans charged-off in the amount of $13,206,000 and $10,904,000 of assets transferred from loans to other real estate owned and repossessed assets.

Our Company’s loan portfolio decreased $93,142,000, or 9.4% from 2009 to 2010. This decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in commercial loans of $20,017,000, or 13.2%, a decrease in real estate mortgage — residential loans of $24,498,000, or 10.5%, a decrease in real estate mortgage — commercial loans of $14,907,000, or 3.3%, and a decrease in real estate construction — commercial loans of $21,884,000, or 28.1%. The decrease in commercial loans and real estate mortgage loans primarily reflects the payoff of four large commercial credits and three large real estate mortgage loans. The decrease in individual consumer loans reflects the payoff of one large consumer loan which was secured by a Bank certificate of deposit. Also contributing to the decrease in total loans were gross charge-offs of $16,190,000 and $23,677,000 of assets transferred from loans to other real estate owned and repossessed assets.

During the current down-turn in the economy, management continues to focus on the improvement of asset quality. Management has tightened underwriting standards and is focused on lending to credit worthy borrowers with the capacity to service their debts. Where appropriate, management actively works with existing borrowers to modify loan terms and conditions in order to assist the borrowers in servicing their debt obligations to our Company. The decrease in lending activities in the real estate construction market also reflects the slowdown in the housing industry and residential construction industry as well as foreclosures on various residential construction properties. Construction lending will continue to be closely monitored.

Our Company extends credit to its local community market through traditional real estate mortgage products. Our Company does not participate in extending credit to sub-prime residential real estate markets. Our Company does not lend funds for the type of transactions defined as “highly leveraged” by bank regulatory authorities or for foreign loans. Additionally, our Company does not have any concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans that are not otherwise disclosed in the loan portfolio composition table. Our Company does not have any interest-earning assets which would have been included in nonaccrual, past due, or restructured loans if such assets were loans.

Our Company generally does not retain long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loans in its portfolio. Fixed rate loans conforming to standards required by the secondary market are offered to qualified borrowers, but are not funded until our Company has a non-recourse purchase commitment from the secondary market at a predetermined price. For the year ended December 31, 2011 our Company sold $74,983,000 loans to investors. At December 31, 2011 our Company was servicing approximately $307,016,000 of loans sold to the secondary market.

Real estate mortgage loans retained in our Company’s portfolio generally include provisions for rate adjustments at one to three year intervals. Commercial loans and real estate construction loans generally have maturities of less than one year. Installment loans to individuals are primarily fixed rate loans with maturities from one to five years.

Management along with the senior loan committee, and internal loan review, formally review all loans in excess of certain dollar amounts (periodically established) at least annually. Currently, loans in excess of $2,000,000 in aggregate and all adversely classified credits identified by management as containing more than usual risk are reviewed. In addition, loans below the above scope are reviewed on a sample basis. On a monthly basis, the senior loan committee reviews and reports to the Board of Directors past due, classified, and watch list loans in order to classify or reclassify loans as loans requiring attention, substandard, doubtful, or loss. During this review, management also determines which loans should be considered impaired. Management follows the guidance provided in the FASB’s ASC Topic 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, in identifying and measuring loan impairment. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. These loans are evaluated individually for impairment, and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, specific reserves are estimated as further discussed below. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type, delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan risk ratings and industry concentration. Management believes, but there can be no assurance, that these procedures keep management informed of potential problem loans. Based upon these procedures, both the allowance and provision for loan losses are adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered necessary by management to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Nonperforming assets to loans and foreclosed assets		8.11	%		7.71	%		5.08	%		3.21	%		0.92	%

Nonperforming loans, defined as loans on nonaccrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing, and restructured loans totaled $53,674,000 or 6.37% of total loans at December 31, 2011 compared to $56,303,000 or 6.27% of total loans at December 31, 2010.

It is our Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when management believes that the borrower’s financial condition, after consideration of business conditions and collection efforts, is such that the collection of interest is doubtful, or upon which principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more and the asset is not both well secured and in the process of collection. Subsequent interest payments received on such loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectibles of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income on a cash basis. Interest on nonaccrual loans, which would have been recorded under the original terms of the loans, was approximately $1,963,000, $2,552,000 and $1,726,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Approximately $11,000, $22,000 and $158,000 was actually recorded as interest income on such loans for the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Total non-accrual loans at December 31, 2011 decreased $4,184,000 from December 31, 2010. The decrease from December 31, 2010 consisted of a $1,464,000 decrease in commercial, financial, and agricultural non-accrual loans, a $2,439,000 decrease in real estate construction — residential non-accrual loans, a $2,200,000 decrease in real estate construction — commercial non-accrual loans, and a $1,519,000 decrease in real estate mortgage — residential non-accrual loans. This decrease was partially offset by a $3,396,000 increase in real estate mortgage — commercial non-accrual loans. The decreases primarily resulted from the foreclosure of several loans with balances totaling $10,904,000 that had been in

18

nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2010. Loan charge-offs resulted in an additional decline of approximately $9,203,000. The increase in real estate mortgage — commercial non-accrual loans resulted primarily from four significant loan relationships with balances totaling $7,700,000 at December 31, 2011 that were put on non-accrual status during 2011. At December 31, 2011, real estate mortgage — commercial non-accrual loans made up 67% of total non-accrual loans compared to 55% at December 31, 2010.

Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest increased $21,000 from $33,000 at December 31, 2010 to $54,000 at December 31, 2011. Foreclosed real estate and other repossessions increased $2,011,000 from $14,009,000 at December 31, 2010 to $16,020,000 at December 31, 2011 primarily due to construction and land real estate foreclosures and real estate mortgage — commercial foreclosures.

At December 31, 2011, loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDR) totaled $32,165,000, of which $24,948,000 was on non-accrual status and $7,217,000 was on accrual status. At December 31, 2010, loans classified as TDR totaled $22,080,000, of which $16,397,000 was on non-accrual status and $5,683,000 was on accrual status. Current economic conditions negatively impact our borrowers’ ability to keep their debt payments current.

The following table summarizes our Company’s TDR’s at the dates indicated:

(Dollars in thousands)	December 31, 2011						December 31, 2010

Total TDRs		66	$	32,165	$	1,522		46	$	22,080	$	1,359

As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 approximately $11,673,000 and $19,658,000, respectively, of loans not included in the nonperforming asset table were identified by management as potential problem loans having more than normal risk which raised doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms. The $7,566,000 decrease in such substandard loans primarily resulted from four significant loan relationships totaling $7,700,000 that are now included in the impaired totals. Several borrowers are continuing to experience cash flow problems and as well as some deterioration in collateral value. Management believes the general allowance was sufficient to cover the risks and probable losses related to such loans at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses decreased $3,732,000 or 24.5% to $11,523,000 for 2011 compared to $15,255,000 for 2010 and followed a $6,901,000 or 82.6% increase for 2010 compared to 2009.

The current economy has contributed to the deterioration of collateral values. The economic downturn and elevated unemployment rates in our market area have impaired the ability for certain of our customers to make payments on our loans in accordance with contractual terms.

Our Company has taken an active approach to obtain current appraisals and has adjusted the provision to reflect the amounts management determined necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level necessary to cover

19

probable losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses decreased to $13,809,000 or 1.6% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2011 compared to $14,565,000 or 1.6% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2010. Charge-offs taken during 2011 and 2010 contributed to the decrease in the allowance for loan losses without being fully offset by new provisions as our Company works through its problem loans.

The following table summarizes loan loss experience for the years indicated:

Net charge-offs to average loans outstanding		1.42			1.63			0.62			0.50			0.10

As shown in the table above, our Company’s net loan charge-offs were $12,279,000, or 1.42% of average loans, for 2011. In comparison net loan charge-offs were $15,487,000, or 1.63% of average loans, for 2010, and $6,224,000, or 0.62% of average loans, for 2009. Net charge-offs for 2011 continued to include significant write-downs on foreclosed properties to reflect current collateral values. Real estate construction — commercial net charge-offs decreased $4,272,000 to $262,000 for 2011 from $4,534,000 for 2010. Real estate mortgage — residential net charge-offs decreased $2,531,000 to $1,775,000 for 2011 from $4,306,000 for 2010. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2010 included $2,020,000, or 13% of total charge-offs for 2010, related to two significant loan relationships collateralized by section eight properties. Partially offsetting these decreases, real estate mortgage — commercial loan net charge-offs increased $2,505,000 to $6,317,000 at December 31, 2011, or 51% of total net charges-offs for 2011. One significant commercial loan relationship in the process of foreclosure for 2012 represented $3,800,000, or 31% of total net charge-offs for 2011. Additionally, real estate construction — residential net charge offs increased $890,000 to $1,793,000 for 2011 from $903,000 for 2010. The increase in real estate construction — residential net charge–offs was primarily due to charge-offs taken on two credits management had specifically reserved $2,000,000 as of December 31, 2010. Since these credits were fully reserved at December 31, 2010, no additional provision for these credits was required for 2011, and as a result, total net charge-offs exceeded the provision for 2011. Net loan charge-offs for 2010 primarily reflected write-downs taken on various loans and foreclosed properties to reflect current collateral values.

The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable loan losses regardless of the category of loans to be charged off. The allowance for loan losses consists of asset-specific reserves, and general reserves based on expected loss estimates and unallocated reserves.

The asset-specific reserve component applies to loans evaluated individually for impairment and is primarily based on management’s best estimate of proceeds from liquidating collateral. The majority of our nonperforming loans are secured by real estate collateral. The actual timing and amount of repayments and the ultimate realizable value of the collateral may differ from management’s estimate.

The general reserve component is determined by applying percentages to pools of loans by asset type. These percentages are determined by using historical loss percentages. These expected loss estimates are sensitive to changes in delinquency status, realizable value of collateral, and other risk factors.

The unallocated portion of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of conditions that are not directly reflected in the determination of the asset-specific component and the expected loss component discussed above. The evaluation of inherent loss with respect to these qualitative conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they may not be identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. Conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated portion of the allowance include general economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas, credit quality trends (including trends in substandard loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, bank regulatory examination results, and findings of our internal loan review department. Management believes that based on detailed analysis of each credit risk inherent to our loan portfolio and the value of any associated collateral, that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 is a reasonable estimate of probable losses incurred at that date.

The underlying assumptions, estimates and assessments used by management to determine these components are continually evaluated and updated to reflect management’s current view of overall economic conditions and relevant factors impacting credit quality and inherent losses. Changes in such estimates could significantly impact the allowance and provision for credit losses. Our Company could experience credit losses that are different from the current estimates made by management.

The following table is a summary of the allocation of the allowance for loan losses as of the dates indicated:

Our Company’s allowance for loan losses decreased $756,000 from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The overall decline of the allowance for loan losses primarily consisted of a $1,127,000 decrease in the allocation for commercial, financial, and agricultural loans, a $879,000 decrease in the allocation of real estate construction — residential loans, a $671,000 decrease in the allocation for real estate mortgage — residential loans, and was partially offset by a $2,276,000 increase in the allocation for real estate mortgage — commercial loans. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming was 25.73% at December 31, 2011 compared to 25.87% at December 31, 2010. The percentage of allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding increased to 1.64% at December 31, 2011 compared to 1.62% at December 31, 2010 as a result of the decrease in period end loan balances of 6.2%.

21

At December 31, 2011, management determined that $13,806,000 of the $13,809,000 total allowance for loan losses comprised of the asset-specific and expected loss components and $3,000 was unallocated. This is compared to $13,948,000 of the $14,565,000 total allowance for loan losses allocated to asset-specific and expected loss components and $617,000 that was unallocated at December 31,2010. The increase in the portion of the allowance for loan losses related to non asset-specific reserves is the result of management analyzing and assessing this portion of the allowance for loan losses on a detailed level by homogeneous loan categories for loans not considered impaired. Such analysis measured reserve requirements based on historical loss experiences of loans in those individual categories. Such reserve methodology considers the loss experience for certain types of loans and loan grades for the past twelve quarters.

The following table is a summary of the general and specific allocations within the allowance for loan losses:

	December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2011		2010
Allocation of allowance for loan losses:
Specific reserve allocation for impaired loans	$	3,747	$	6,376
General reserve allocation for all other non-impaired loans		10,062		8,189
Total	$	13,809	$	14,565

The asset-specific reserve component of our allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 was determined by using fair values of the underlying collateral through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. The general reserve component of our allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 was determined by calculating historical loss percentages for various loan categories over the previous twelve quarters. Management determined that the previous twelve quarters were reflective of the loss characteristics of our Company’s loan portfolio during the recent economic downturn. Management realizes there are inherent weaknesses in relying solely on historical loss percentages and also considers qualitative factors in determining the allowance for loan losses. Prior to the third quarter of 2011, qualitative factors, internally and externally not directly related to the asset-specific component and the expected loss component, were considered within the unallocated portion of the reserve. Internal factors management considers consist of underwriting standards, nature and volume of loans, lending staff experience, volume and severity of delinquencies and classified loans, loan review quality, value of underlying collateral, and concentrations of credit. Management also considers external factors such as economic conditions, market segments, regulatory and legal considerations, and competition. Beginning with the third quarter of 2011 analysis, management elected to further refine the methodology by distributing the previous quarter’s unallocated reserve throughout the call report classes of loans by adding qualitative adjustments in addition to the historical loss rate applied to determine the expected probable loss requirement for the current portfolio. The specific and general allocations represent management’s best estimate of probable losses contained in the loan portfolio at the evaluation date. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations, the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses.

At December 31, 2011, the asset-specific reserve component decreased $2,629,000 due to a comparable decrease in the volume of impaired loans as well as the charge-off of two credits during the first quarter of 2011 for which management had specifically reserved approximately $2,000,000 as of December 31, 2010. During the same period, the general reserve component increased from $8,189,000 at December 31, 2010 to $10,062,000 at December 31, 2011 due to usage of a historical loss experience and qualitative measures reflective of our Company’s loss characteristics.

The net carrying value of impaired loans is generally based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. Once the impairment amount is calculated, a specific reserve allocation is recorded. At December 31, 2011, $3,747,000 of our Company’s allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $53,619,000 compared to $6,376,000 of our Company’s allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans totaling approximately $56,271,000 at December 31, 2010. Based upon detailed analysis of all impaired loans, management has determined that $23,223,000, or 43%, of impaired loans required no reserve allocation at December 31, 2011 compared to $26,038,000, or 46%, at December 31, 2010.

Investment Portfolio

Our Company classifies its debt and equity securities into one of the following two categories:

Held-to-Maturity — includes investments in debt securities which our Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. Available-for-Sale — includes investments in debt and equity securities not classified as held to maturity or trading (i.e., investments which our Company has no present plans to sell in the near-term but may be sold in the future under different circumstances). Our Company’s investment portfolio consists of available-for-sale securities.

22

Debt securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, while debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at estimated market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses from available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported, net of applicable taxes, as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized.

Our Company does not engage in trading activities and accordingly does not have any debt or equity securities classified as trading securities. Historically our Company’s practice had been to purchase and hold debt instruments until maturity unless special circumstances exist. However, since the investment portfolio’s major function is to provide liquidity and to balance our Company’s interest rate sensitivity position, all debt securities are classified as available-for-sale.

At December 31, 2011, our investment portfolio classified as available-for-sale represented 18.3% of total consolidated assets. Future levels of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment securities can be expected to vary depending upon liquidity and interest sensitivity needs as well as other factors.

The following table presents the composition of the investment portfolio by major category for the periods presented:

	December 31,
(In thousands)	2011		2010
U.S. treasury	$	2,054	$	1,028
Government sponsored enterprises		70,314		53,342
Asset-backed securities		107,329		90,176
Obligations of states and political subdivisions		34,109		34,432
Total available for sale debt securities	$	213,806	$	178,978

As of December 31, 2011 the maturity of debt securities in the investment portfolio was as follows:

(In thousands)	One Year Or Less			Over One Through Five Years			Over Five Through Ten Years			Over Ten Years			Total			Weighted Average Yield (1)
U.S. treasury	$	—		$	2,054		$	—		$	—		$	2,054			1.64	%

(1) Weighted average yield is based on amortized cost.

(2) Asset-backed securities have been included using historic repayment speeds. Repayment speeds were determined from actual portfolio experience during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 calculated separately for each mortgage-backed security. These repayment speeds are not necessarily indicative of future repayment speeds and are subject to change based on changing mortgage interest rates.

(3) Rates on obligations of states and political subdivisions have been adjusted to fully taxable equivalent rates using the statutory Federal income tax rate of 34%.

At December 31, 2011 $131,000 of debt securities classified as available-for-sale in the table above had variable rate provisions with adjustment periods ranging from one week to twelve months.

23

The following non-marketable securities are restricted securities which, lacking a market, are carried at cost. These securities are reported in other assets. At December 31, 2011, $2,738,000 of the total included Federal Home Loan Bank (Des Moines) stock held by the Bank in accordance with debt and regulatory requirements. Other non-marketable securities include an $1,486,000 equity investment in our Company’s unconsolidated Exchange Statutory Trusts. (See Note 8 to our Company’s consolidated financials for further explanation on the Exchange Statutory Trusts.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Management

The role of liquidity management is to ensure funds are available to meet depositors’ withdrawal and borrowers’ credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of those funds. Liquidity to meet the demands is provided by maturing assets, short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash and the ability to attract funds from external sources, principally depositors. Due to the nature of services offered by our Company, management prefers to focus on transaction accounts and full service relationships with customers. Management believes it has the ability to increase deposits at any time by offering rates slightly higher than the market rate.

Our Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), primarily made up of senior management, has direct oversight responsibility for our Company’s liquidity position and profile. A combination of daily, weekly and monthly reports provided to management detail the following: internal liquidity metrics, composition and level of the liquid asset portfolio, timing differences in short-term cash flow obligations, available pricing and market access to the financial markets for capital and exposure to contingent draws on our Company’s liquidity.

Our Company has a number of sources of funds to meet liquidity needs on a daily basis. Our Company’s most liquid assets are comprised of available for sale investment securities, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, and excess reserves held at the Federal Reserve as follows:

	December 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2011		2010
Federal funds sold	$	75	$	126
Federal Reserve - excess reserves		19,997		29,286
Available for sale investments securities		213,806		178,978
Total	$	233,878	$	208,390

Federal funds sold and resale agreements normally have overnight maturities and are used for general daily liquidity purposes. The fair value of the available for sale investment portfolio was $213,806,000 at December 31, 2011 and included an unrealized net gain of $5,582,000. The portfolio includes maturities of approximately $9,521,000 over the next twelve months, which offer resources to meet either new loan demand or reductions in our Company’s deposit base.

Our Company pledges portions of its investment securities portfolio to secure public fund deposits, federal funds purchase lines, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank, and for other purposes required by law.

At December 31, 2011, total investment securities pledged for these purposes were as follows:

	December 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2011		2010
Investment securities pledged for the purpose of securing:
Federal Reserve Bank borrowings	$	1,819	$	3,262
Repurchase agreements		29,656		45,929
Other Deposits		140,972		98,908
Total pledged, at fair value	$	172,447	$	148,099

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, our Company’s unpledged securities in the available for sale portfolio totaled approximately $41,359,000 and $30,879,000, respectively.

24

Liquidity is available from our Company’s base of core customer deposits, defined as demand, interest, checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts. At December 31, 2011, such deposits totaled $543,786,000 and represented 56.7% of our Company’s total deposits. These core deposits are normally less volatile and are often tied to other products of our Company through long lasting relationships. Time deposits and certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over totaled $414,438,000 at December 31, 2011. These accounts are normally considered more volatile and higher costing representing 43.3% of total deposits at December 31, 2011.

	December 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2011		2010
Core deposit base:
Non-interest bearing demand	$	159,187	$	137,750
Interest checking		169,452		160,225
Savings and money market		215,147		218,912
Total	$	543,786	$	516,887

Other components of liquidity are the level of borrowings from third party sources and the availability of future credit. Our Company’s outside borrowings are comprised of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, and subordinated notes as follows:

	December 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2011		2010
Borrowings:
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase	$	24,516	$	30,068
FHLB advances		28,410		66,986
Subordinated notes		49,486		49,486
Total	$	102,412	$	146,540

Federal funds purchased are overnight borrowings obtained mainly from upstream correspondent banks with which our Company maintains approved credit lines. As of December 31, 2011, under agreements with these unaffiliated banks, the Bank may borrow up to $15,000,000 in federal funds on an unsecured basis and $19,918,000 on a secured basis. There were no federal funds purchased outstanding at December 31, 2011. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally borrowed overnight and are secured by a portion of our Company’s investment portfolio. At December 31, 2011 there was $24,516,000 in repurchase agreements. Our Company may periodically borrow additional short-term funds from the Federal Reserve Bank through the discount window; although no such borrowings were outstanding at the year end. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB). As a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to credit products of the FHLB. As of December 31, 2011, the Bank had $28,410,000 in outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. In addition, our Company has $49,486,000 in outstanding subordinated notes issued to wholly-owned grantor trusts, funded by preferred securities issued by the trusts.

Our Company pledges certain assets, including loans and investment securities to the Federal Reserve Bank, FHLB, and other correspondent banks as security to establish lines of credit and borrow from these entities. Based on the type and value of collateral pledged, our Company may draw advances against this collateral. The following table reflects the advance equivalent of the assets pledged, borrowings, and letters of credit outstanding, in addition to the estimated future funding capacity available to our Company at December 31, 2011:

	December 31, 2011
(dollars in thousands)	FHLB			Federal Reserve Bank		Federal Funds Purchased Lines
Advance equivalent	$	259,081		$	1,783	$	33,135
Advances outstanding		(28,410	)		—		—
Letters of credit issued		(206	)		—		—
Total	$	230,465		$	1,783	$	33,135

At December 31, 2011, loans with a market value of $426,274,000 were pledged at the Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for borrowings and letters of credit. At December 31, 2011, investments with a market value of $24,687,000 were pledged to secure federal funds purchase lines and borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank.

Sources and Uses of Funds

As loan demand has declined and overnight borrowing rates remain at historic lows, management has expanded our investment portfolio to keep excess cash minimized. A deposit reclassification program was implemented in January of 2011 that lowered the Federal Reserve account requirement, improving liquidity, and enabling our Company to lower cash balances maintained at the Federal Reserve and invest in higher yielding investment securities.

Cash and cash equivalents were $43,210,000 at December 31, 2011 compared to $50,980,000 at December 31, 2010. The $7,770,000 decrease resulted from changes in the various cash flows produced by operating, investing, and financing activities of our Company, as shown in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011. Cash flow provided from operating activities consists mainly of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Operating activities provided cash flow of $20,832,000 for the year ended 2011.

Investing activities consisting mainly of purchases, sales and maturities of available for sale securities, and changes in the level of the loan portfolio, provided cash flow of $6,381,000. The cash inflow primarily consisted of a $32,298,000 decrease in the loan portfolio, $91,108,000 in proceeds from maturities, calls, and pay-downs of investment securities, and $7,435,000 in proceeds from sales of other real estate owned and repossessions, partially offset by $122,871,000 purchases of investment securities and $3,393,00 purchases of premises and equipment.

Financing activities used total cash of $34,983,000, resulting primarily from a $38,576,000 net repayment of FHLB advances, a decrease of $5,552,000 of federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, a net $9,876,00 decrease in time deposits and interest-bearing transaction accounts, partially offset by a $21,437,000 increase in demand deposits. Future short-term liquidity needs arising from daily operations are not expected to vary significantly during 2012.

In the normal course of business, our Company enters into certain forms of off-balance sheet transactions, including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. These transactions are managed through our Company’s various risk management processes. Management considers both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet transactions in its evaluation of our Company’s liquidity. In the section entitled, Commitments, Contractual Obligations, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, below we disclose that our Company had $120,163,000 in unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2011. While this commitment level would be difficult to fund given our Company’s current liquidity resources, we know that the nature of these commitments are such that the likelihood of such a funding demand is very low.

Our Company is a legal entity, separate and distinct from the Bank, which must provide its own liquidity to meet its operating needs. On December 19, 2008, as part of our Company’s participation in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program (CPP), our Company issued 30,255 shares of senior preferred stock and a ten year warrant to purchase approximately 265,471 shares of common stock to the U.S. Department of Treasury in exchange for $30,255,000. See Note 12 to our Company’s consolidated financial statements. Our Company’s ongoing liquidity needs primarily include funding its operating expenses and paying cash dividends to its common and preferred shareholders. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, our Company paid cash dividends to its common and preferred shareholders totaling $2,417,000 and $2,898,000. A large portion of our Company’s liquidity is obtained from the Bank in the form of dividends. For the year ended December 31, 2011 the Bank declared and paid $5,000,000 of dividends to our Company. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, our Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $13,282,000 and $12,449,000 respectively.

Capital Management

Risk-based capital guidelines for financial institutions were adopted by regulatory authorities effective January 1, 1991. These guidelines are designed to relate regulatory capital requirements to the risk profiles of the specific institutions and to provide more uniform requirements among the various regulators. Our Company is required to maintain a minimum risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, with at least 4.00% being “Tier 1” capital. In addition, a minimum leverage ratio, Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets, of 3.00% must be maintained. However, for all but the most highly rated financial institutions, a leverage ratio of 3.00% plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points is expected.

Commitments, Contractual Obligations, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The required payments of time deposits and other borrowed money, not including interest, at December 31, 2011 are as follows:

	Payments due by Period
(Dollars in thousands)	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		Over 5 Years
Time deposits	$	414,439	$	266,517	$	127,939	$	19,983	$	—
Other borrowed money		28,410		8,284		10,126		—		10,000

In the normal course of business, our Company is party to activities that contain credit, market and operational risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in our Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such activities include traditional off-balance sheet credit related financial instruments.

Our Company provides customers with off-balance sheet credit support through loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Summarized credit-related financial instruments, including both commitments to extend credit and letters of credit at December 31, 2011 are as follows:

	Amount of Commitment Expiration per Period
(Dollars in thousands)	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		Over 5 Years
Unused loan commitments	$	117,171	$	94,255	$	13,932	$	2,083	$	6,901
Standby letters of credit		2,992		2,693		60		217		22

Since many of the unused commitments are expected to expire or be only partially used, the total amount of commitments in the preceding table does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Sensitivity

Our Company’s exposure to market risk is reviewed on a monthly basis by our Company’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, 2011, the rate shock scenario models indicated that annual net interest income could change by as much as (25.4)% to 36.0% should interest rates rise or fall, respectively, within 400 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. Management further believes this is an acceptable level of risk.

The following table represents the estimated interest rate sensitivity and periodic and cumulative gap positions calculated as of December 31, 2011. Significant assumptions used for this table included: loans will repay at historic repayment rates; certain interest-bearing demand accounts are interest sensitive due to immediate repricing, and fixed maturity deposits will not be withdrawn prior to maturity. A significant variance in actual results from one or more of these assumptions could materially affect the results reflected in the table.

Other Comprehensive Income In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for periods beginning January 1, 2012 and requires retrospective application. The ASU does not change the components of other comprehensive income, the timing of items reclassified to net income, or the net income basis for income per share calculations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (Topic 220), which defers the requirement within ASU No. 2011-05 to present the reclassification amounts from other comprehensive income to net income as a separate component on the income statement. Until the FASB has reached a resolution, entities are required to report reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05.

Fair Value Measurements In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, to substantially converge the guidance in U.S. GAAP and IFRS on fair value measurements and disclosures. The amended guidance changes several aspects of the

28

fair value measurement guidance ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, and includes several new fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Repurchase Agreements In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Consideration of Effective Control on Repurchase Agreements, which deals with the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 changes the rules for determining when these transactions should be accounted for as financings, as opposed to sales. The guidance in ASU 2011-03 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Troubled Debt Restructurings In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 provide a creditor additional guidance in determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring by concluding that both the following conditions exist (1) a creditor has granted a concession, and (2) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. A provision in ASU No. 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 were adopted for our Company’s reporting period ending September 30, 2011 and required retrospective application to all restructurings occurring during 2011 along with additional required disclosures. Under the guidance for identifying TDR’s provided in the ASU, our Company identified 10 additional loans as a result of the adoption. See Note 2 for further discussion.

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20 — Receivables (ASC Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This ASU requires expanded credit risk disclosures intended to provide investors with greater transparency regarding the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. Under this ASU, companies are required to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements, such as aging information, credit quality indicators, changes in the allowance for credit losses, and the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings and their effect on the allowance for credit losses. Both new and existing disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class based on the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing its allowance for credit losses and managing its credit exposure. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activities that occur during a reporting period are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures required by this update are reported in the notes to our Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effects of Inflation

The effects of inflation on financial institutions are different from the effects on other commercial enterprises since financial institutions make few significant capital or inventory expenditures which are directly affected by changing prices. Because bank assets and liabilities are virtually all monetary in nature, inflation does not affect a financial institution as much as do changes in interest rates. The general level of inflation does underlie the general level of most interest rates, but interest rates do not increase at the rate of inflation as do prices of goods and services. Rather, interest rates react more to changes in the expected rate of inflation and to changes in monetary and fiscal policy.

Inflation does have an impact on the growth of total assets in the banking industry, often resulting in a need to increase capital at higher than normal rates to maintain an appropriate capital to asset ratio. In the opinion of management, inflation did not have a significant effect on our Company’s operations for the three years ended December 31, 2011.

Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 30, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Hawthorn Bancshares Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) provides a broad range of banking services to individual and corporate customers located within the communities in and surrounding Jefferson City, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, Branson and Lee’s Summit, Missouri. The Company is subject to competition from other financial and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting (U.S. GAAP) principles and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including the determination of the allowance for loan losses, values of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, and fair values of investment securities available-for-sale that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s management has evaluated and did not identify any subsequent events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

On July 1, 2011, the Company paid a special stock dividend of four percent to common shareholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2011. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, have been adjusted retroactively to reflect this change.

The significant accounting policies used by the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are summarized below:

Principles of Consolidation

In December of 2008 and March of 2010, the Company formed Hawthorn Real Estate, LLC, and Real Estate Holdings of Missouri, LLC, respectively, (the Real Estate Companies); both are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Hawthorn Bank (the Bank), and the Real Estate Companies. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Loans

Loans which the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or maturity are held for investment at their stated unpaid principal balance amount less unearned income and the allowance for loan losses. Income on loans is accrued on a simple-interest basis. Loan origination fees and certain direct costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield.

Non-Accrual Loans

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when management believes that the borrower’s financial condition, after consideration of business conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Loans that are contractually 90 day days past due as to principal and/or interest payments are generally placed on non-accrual, unless they are both well-secured and in the process of collection. Subsequent interest payments received on such loans are applied to principal if doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income. A loan remains on nonaccrual status until the loan is current as to payment of both principal and interest and/or the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay and remain current.

Restructured Loans

A modified or restructured loan is accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) for any loans in which concessions are made to the borrower for economic or legal reasons that the Company would not otherwise consider and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Once a loan has been classified as a TDR it remains a TDR for the life of the loan. The Company includes all accruing and non-accruing TDR’s in the impaired and non-performing asset totals. TDR’s are measured for impairment loss by using fair values of the underlying collateral obtained through independent appraisals and internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows.

December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Included in impaired loans are all non-accrual loans and loans whose terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Impaired loans are individually evaluated for impairment based on fair values of the underlying collateral, obtained through independent appraisals or internal valuations for a collateral dependent loan, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows.

Loans Held for Sale

The Bank originates certain loans which are sold in the secondary mortgage market. These long-term, fixed-rate loans are typically classified as held for sale upon origination based upon management’s intent to sell. For loans with servicing rights retained, immediately upon locking in an interest rate, the Company enters into an agreement to sell the mortgage loan without recourse. At December 31, 2011 there were no mortgage loans that were held for sale in comparison to $62,000 at December 31, 2010.

Mortgage loan servicing fees earned on loans sold are reported as income when the related loan payments are collected net of amortization from mortgage servicing rights. Operational costs to service such loans are charged to expense as incurred.

Allowance/ Provision for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable loan losses regardless of the category of loan to be charged off. The allowance for loan losses consists of asset-specific reserves, and reserves based on expected loss estimates.

Management follows the guidance provided in FASB’s ASC Topic 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, in identifying and measuring loan impairment. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. These loans are evaluated individually for impairment, and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, to determine specific reserves as further discussed below. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type, delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan risk ratings and industry concentration.

The asset-specific reserve component of the Company’s allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 was measured by fair values of the underlying collateral through independent appraisals, internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. The general reserve component of the Company’s allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 was determined by calculating historical loss percentages for various loan categories over the previous twelve quarters. Management determined that the previous twelve quarters were reflective of the loss characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio during the recent three year economic downturn. These historical loss percentages were then applied to the various categories of loans to determine an expected loss requirement for the current portfolio. Prior to 2010, the historical loss percentage for non-impaired loans was based on a blend between industry standards and the Company’s five year loss experience.

The unallocated portion of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of conditions that are not directly reflected in the determination of the asset-specific component and the expected loss component discussed above. The evaluation of incurred loss with respect to these qualitative conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they may not be identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. Conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated portion of the allowance include general economic and business conditions affecting the Company’s key lending areas, credit quality trends (including trends in substandard loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, bank regulatory examination results, and findings of the internal loan review department.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009

The underlying assumptions, estimates and assessments used by management to determine these components are continually evaluated and updated to reflect management’s current view of overall economic conditions and relevant factors impacting credit quality and inherent losses. Changes in such estimates could significantly impact the allowance and provision for credit losses. The Company could experience credit losses that are different from the current estimates made by management.

Loans, or portions of loans, are charged off to the extent deemed uncollectible. Loan charge-offs reduce the allowance for loan losses, and recoveries of loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance. Once the fair value for a collateral dependent loan has been determined, any impaired amount is typically charged off unless the loan has other income streams to support repayment. For impaired loans which have other income streams to support repayment, a specific reserve is established for the amount determined to be impaired.

Investment in Debt and Equity Securities

At the time of purchase, debt securities are classified into one of two categories: available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. All debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. The Company’s securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Changes in fair value, excluding certain losses associated with other-than-temporary impairment, are reported in other comprehensive income, net of taxes, a component of stockholders’ equity. Securities are periodically evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with guidance provided in the FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities. For those securities with other-than-temporary impairment, the entire loss in fair value is required to be recognized in current earnings if the Company intends to sell the securities or believes it more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before the anticipated recovery. If neither condition is met, but the Company does not expect to recover the amortized cost basis, the Company determines whether a credit loss has occurred, which is then recognized in current earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method over the lives of the respective securities, with consideration of historical and estimated prepayment rates for mortgage-backed securities, as an adjustment to yield. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are included in earnings based on the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

Capital Stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System administered by the Federal Housing Finance Board, is required to maintain an investment in the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) in an amount equal to 12 basis points of the Bank’s year-end total assets plus 4.45% of advances from the FHLB to the Bank. These investments are recorded at cost, which represents redemption value.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation applicable to buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment is charged to expense using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Such lives are estimated to be 5 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but tested annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives, such as core deposit intangibles and mortgage servicing rights, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Core deposit intangibles are amortized over periods of 7 to 8 years representing their estimated lives using straight line and accelerated methods. Mortgage servicing rights are amortized using straight line over the shorter of 7 years or the life of the loan.

When facts and circumstances indicate potential impairment of amortizable intangible assets, the Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value based upon future cash flows expected to result from the use of the underlying asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the underlying asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. The impairment loss recognized represents the amount by which the carrying value of the underlying asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying asset.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets consist of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Other real estate owned assets are initially recorded as held for sale at the lower of the loan balance or fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Any adjustment is recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses. The Company relies on external appraisals and assessment of property values by internal staff. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgment based on experience and expertise of internal specialists. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. The write-downs are recorded as other real estate expense. The Company establishes a valuation allowance related to other real estate owned on an asset-by-asset basis. The valuation allowance is created during the holding period when the fair value less cost to sell is lower than the “cost” of a parcel of other real estate.

Pension Plan

The Company provides a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all full-time employees. The benefits are based on age, years of service and the level of compensation during the employees highest ten years of compensation before retirement. Net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the retirement benefits. The Company records annual amounts relating to its pension plan based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and may make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plan are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions.

The Company follows authoritative guidance included in the FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Plans under the subtopic Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. ASC Topic 715 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its consolidated balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This guidance also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its fiscal year-end, with limited exceptions. Additional disclosures are required to provide users with an understanding of how investment allocation decisions are made, major categories of plan assets, and fair value measurement of plan assets as defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset / liability method by recognizing the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing the Company’s future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns such as realization of the effects of temporary differences, net operating loss carry forwards and changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. A valuation allowance is established when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable. In this case, the Company would adjust the recorded value of our deferred tax asset, which would result in a direct charge to income tax expense in the period that the determination was made. Likewise, the Company would reverse the valuation allowance when the realization of the deferred tax asset is more likely than not. In addition, the Company is subject to the continuous examination of its tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. The Company accrues for penalties and interest related to income taxes in income tax expense. At December 31, 2010, total accrued interest was $31,000 and total interest expense recognized for the year ended 2010 was $24,000. As of December 31, 2011, the Company released $28,000 of interest accrued related to the release of $221,000 of uncertain tax provisions.

Trust Department

Property held by the Bank in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers is not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, since such items are not assets of the Company. Trust department income is recognized on the accrual basis.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term federal funds sold and securities sold or purchased under agreements to resell, interest earning deposits with banks, cash, and due from banks.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based employee compensation plan is described in Note 11, Stock Compensation. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, the Company measures the cost of the stock-based compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the award, recognizing the cost over the requisite service period. The fair value of an award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expense recognized is based on an estimation of the number of awards for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered, and is included in salaries and employee benefits in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The standard also requires that excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected as financing cash inflows instead of operating cash inflows.

Treasury Stock

The purchase of the Company’s common stock is recorded at cost. Purchases of the stock are made both in the open market and through negotiated private purchases based on market prices. At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost associated with such stock on a first-in-first-out basis.

Comprehensive Income

The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).

Reclassifications

Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

Other Comprehensive Income In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for periods beginning January 1, 2012 and requires retrospective application. The ASU does not change the components of other comprehensive income, the timing of items reclassified to net income, or the net income basis for income per share calculations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (Topic 220), which defers the requirement within ASU No. 2011-05 to present the reclassification amounts from other comprehensive income to net income as a separate component on the income statement. Until the FASB has reached a resolution, entities are required to report reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05.

Fair Value Measurements In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, to substantially converge the guidance in U.S. GAAP and IFRS on fair value measurements and disclosures. The amended guidance changes several aspects of the fair value measurement guidance ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, and includes several new fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Repurchase Agreements In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Consideration of Effective Control on Repurchase Agreements, which deals with the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 changes the rules for determining when these transactions should be accounted for as financings, as opposed to sales. The guidance in ASU 2011-03 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Troubled Debt Restructurings In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 provide a creditor additional guidance in determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring by concluding that both the following conditions exist (1) a creditor has granted a concession, and (2) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. A provision in ASU No. 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 were adopted for the Company’s reporting period ending September 30, 2011 and required retrospective application to all restructurings occurring during 2011 along with additional required disclosures. Under the guidance for identifying TDR’s provided in the ASU, the Company identified 10 additional loans as a result of the adoption. See Note 2 for further discussion.

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20 — Receivables (ASC Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This ASU requires expanded credit risk disclosures intended to provide investors with greater transparency regarding the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. Under this ASU, companies are required to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements, such as aging information, credit quality indicators, changes in the allowance for credit losses, and the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings and their effect on the allowance for credit losses. Both new and existing disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class based on the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing its allowance for credit losses and managing its credit exposure. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occur during a reporting period are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures required by this update are reported in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(2) Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

The Bank grants real estate, commercial, installment, and other consumer loans to customers located within the communities surrounding Jefferson City, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, Branson and Lee’s Summit, Missouri. As such, the Bank is susceptible to changes in the economic environment in these communities. The Bank does not have a concentration of credit in any one economic sector. Installment and other consumer loans consist primarily of the financing of vehicles. At December 31, 2011, loans with a carrying value of $432,478,000 were pledged at Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for borrowings and letters of credit.

The following is a summary of activity in 2011 of loans made by the Bank to executive officers and directors or to entities in which such individuals had a beneficial interest. Such loans were made in the normal course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral requirements, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other persons, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present unfavorable features.

Balance at December 31, 2010	$	2,263,065

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009

The following table provides the balance in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related loan balance by impairment methodology. Loans evaluated under ASC 310-10-35 include loans on non-accrual status, which are individually evaluated for impairment, troubled debt restructurings, and other impaired loans deemed to have similar risk characteristics. All other loans are collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC 450-20. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations, the entire allowance is available to absorb credit losses.

Loans, or portions of loans, are charged off to the extent deemed uncollectible. Loan charge-offs reduce the allowance for loan losses, and recoveries of loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance. Once the fair value for a collateral dependent loan has been determined, any impaired amount is typically charged off unless the loan has other income streams to support repayment. For impaired loans which have other income streams to support repayment, a specific reserve is established for the amount determined to be impaired.

Impaired loans

Impaired loans totaled $53,619,534 and $56,270,543 at December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, and are comprised of loans on non-accrual status and loans which have been classified as troubled debt restructurings.

The categories of impaired loans at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

	2011		2010
Non-accrual loans	$	46,402,747	$	50,586,887
Troubled debt restructurings continuing to accrue interest		7,216,787		5,683,656

December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009

Interest income recognized on loans in non-accrual status and contractual interest that would have been recorded had the loans performed in accordance with their original contractual terms is as follows:

	2011		2010		2009
Contractual interest due on non-accrual loans	$	1,962,972	$	2,551,645	$	1,726,395
Interest income recognized on loans in non-accrual status		10,588		22,356		158,124
Net reduction in interest income	$	1,952,384	$	2,529,289	$	1,568,271

The specific reserve component of the Company’s allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was determined by using fair values of the underlying collateral obtained through independent appraisals and internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. The recorded investment varies from the unpaid principal balance primarily due to partial charge-offs taken resulting from current appraisals received. The amount recognized as interest income on impaired loans continuing to accrue interest, primarily related to troubled debt restructurings, was $274,519, $662,348, and $436,787, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans is calculated on a monthly basis during the years reported.

Delinquent and Non-Accrual Loans

The delinquency status of loans is determined based on the contractual terms of the notes. Borrowers are generally classified as delinquent once payments become 30 days or more past due. The following table provides aging information for the Company’s past due and non-accrual loans at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Credit Quality

The following table provides information about the credit quality of the loan portfolio using the Company’s internal rating system reflecting management’s risk assessment. Recent reviews by the Company’s 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. Loans are placed on watch status when (1) one or more weaknesses which could jeopardize timely liquidation exits; or (2) the margin or liquidity of an asset is sufficiently tenuous that adverse trends could result in a collection problem. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified may have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Such loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the company may sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when management believes such that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when (1) deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower exists for which payment of full principal and interest is not expected, or (2) upon which principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more and the asset is not both well secured and in the process of collection. Subsequent interest payments received on such loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income on a cash basis.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

At December 31, 2011, loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) totaled $32,165,238, of which $24,948,451 was on non-accrual status and $7,216,787 was on accrual status. At December 31, 2010, loans classified as TDRs totaled $22,080,431, of which $16,397,775 was on non-accrual status and $5,683,656 was on accrual status. When an individual loan is determined to be a TDR, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable selling costs. Accordingly, specific reserves of $1,522,422 and $1,359,079 were allocated to the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As a result of adopting the amendments in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-02 — Receivables (ASC Topic 310) — A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after January 1, 2011 for identification as TDRs. Based upon the provisions of this standard, the Company determined that 10 loans totaling $10,377,700 not previously classified as troubled debt restructurings met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring set forth under the ASU 2011-02. In all cases, these loans had previously been, and continue to be, classified as impaired. As each loan had been previously identified as impaired, an impairment review had been performed with respect to each loan and appropriate provisions for loan loss had been provided in prior periods.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009

The following table summarizes loans that were modified as TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	The Year Ended December 31, 2011
	Recorded Investment (1)
	Number of Contracts		Pre- Modification		Post- Modification
Troubled Debt Restructurings
Commercial, financial and agricultural		9	$	3,500,192	$	3,485,661
Real estate construction - commercial		8		6,616,223		6,227,302
Real estate mortgage - residential		7		1,157,063		1,009,716
Real estate mortgage - commercial		9		9,552,474		9,215,406
Total		33	$	20,825,952	$	19,938,085

(1) The amounts reported post-modification are inclusive of all partial pay-downs and charge-offs, and no portion of the debt was forgiven. Loans modified as a TDR that were fully paid down, charged-off or foreclosed upon during the period ended are not reported.

According to guidance provided in ASC subtopic 310-40, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, a loan restructuring or modification of terms is a TDR if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the borrowers financial difficulties grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The Company’s portfolio of loans classified as TDRs include concessions such as interest rates below the current market rate, deferring principal payments, and extending maturity dates. Once a loan becomes a TDR, it will continue to be reported as a TDR until it is ultimately repaid in full, charged-off, or foreclosed and sold. The Company considers a loan in TDR status in default when the borrowers payment according to the modified terms is at least 90 days past due or has defaulted due to expiration of the loans maturity date. During the year ended December 31, 2011, thirty-three loans were modified meeting the criteria for troubled debt restructurings. During this time period none of these 2011 TDRs have subsequently defaulted based on their restructured terms.

The Company’s available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 365 securities at December 31, 2011. One of these securities with an unrealized loss of $294 had been in the loss position for 12 months or longer. The $42,000 unrealized loss included in other comprehensive income at December 31, 2011 was caused by interest rate fluctuations. The Company’s available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 333 securities at December 31, 2010. None of these securities had been in the loss position for 12 months or longer. The $1,136,000 unrealized loss included in other comprehensive income at December 31, 2010 was caused by interest rate fluctuations. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality these investments were not considered other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are amortized over the shorter of 7 years or the life of the loan. They are periodically reviewed for impairment and if impairment is indicated, recorded at fair value. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, no temporary impairment was recognized. The fair value of MSRs is based on the present value of expected cash flows, as further discussed in Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Mortgage loans serviced for others totaled approximately $307,016,000 and $298,325,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Included in other noninterest income were real estate servicing fees for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 of $863,000, $927,000, and $888,000, respectively.

The Company’s amortization expense on intangible assets in any given period may be different from the estimated amounts depending upon the acquisition of intangible assets, changes in mortgage interest rates, prepayment rates and other market conditions. The following table shows the estimated future amortization expense based on existing asset balances and the interest rate environment as of December 31, 2011 for the next five years:

	Core Deposit Intangible Asset		Mortgage Servicing Rights

on collateral type) of the outstanding advance balance, to secure amounts borrowed by the Bank. The outstanding balance of $28,410,000 includes $10,000,000 which the FHLB may call for early payment within the next year. The FHLB has also issued letters of credit totaling $206,000 at December 31, 2011. Based upon the collateral pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines at December 31, 2010, the Bank could borrow up to an additional $230,465,000 under the agreement.

On March 17, 2005, Exchange Statutory Trust II, a business trust issued $23,000,000 of 30-year floating rate Trust Preferred Securities (TPS) to a TPS Pool. The floating rate is equal to a three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.83% and reprices quarterly (2.39% at December 31, 2011). The TPS can be prepaid without penalty at any time after five years from the issuance date.

The TPS represent preferred interests in the trust. The Company invested approximately $712,000 in common interests in the trust and the purchaser in the private placement purchased $23,000,000 in preferred interests. The proceeds were used by the trust to purchase from the Company its 30-year deeply subordinated debentures whose terms mirror those stated above for the TPS. The debentures are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a subordinated guarantee. Distributions on the TPS are payable quarterly on March 17, June 17, September 17, and December 17 of each year that the TPS are outstanding. The trustee for the TPS holders is U.S. Bank, N.A.. The trustee does not have the power to take enforcement action in the event of a default under the TPS for five years from the date of default. In the event of default, however, the Company would be precluded from paying dividends until the default is cured.

On March 17, 2004, Exchange Statutory Trust I, a Delaware business trust and subsidiary of the Company issued $25,000,000 of floating TPS to a TPS Pool. The floating rate is equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 2.70% and reprices quarterly (3.26% at December 31, 2011). The TPS are fully, irrevocably, and unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis by the Company. The proceeds of the TPS were invested in junior subordinated debentures of the Company. Distributions on the TPS are payable quarterly on March 17, June 17, September 17, and December 17 of each year that the TPS are outstanding. The TPS mature on March 17, 2034. That maturity date may be shortened if certain conditions are met.

The Exchange Statutory Trusts are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. Accordingly, the Company does not report the securities issued by the Exchange Statutory Trusts as liabilities, and instead reports the subordinated notes issued by the Company and held by the Exchange Statutory Trusts as liabilities. The amount of the subordinated notes as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $49,486,000. The Company has recorded the investments in the common securities issued by the Exchange Statutory Trusts aggregating $1,486,000, and the corresponding obligations under the subordinated notes, as well as the interest income and interest expense on such investments and obligations in its consolidated financial statements.

Total deferred tax liabilities		4,138,981		2,672,293
Net deferred tax asset	$	10,822,354	$	11,635,494

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these temporary differences at December 31, 2011 and, therefore, has not established a valuation reserve.

December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009

At December 31, 2011, the accumulation of prior years’ earnings representing tax bad debt deductions of the Bank was $2,931,503. If these tax bad debt reserves were charged for losses other than bad debt losses, the Bank would be required to recognize taxable income in the amount of the charge. It is not contemplated that such tax-restricted retained earnings will be used in a manner that would create federal income tax liabilities.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which addresses the accounting for uncertain tax positions. As a result of the lapse of the statue of limitations for the 2007 tax year, the Company recognized $340,351 of gross unrecognized tax benefits and $30,969 of accrued interest. This resulted in a decrease of the effective tax rate for the year-ended December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any uncertain tax provisions.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	2011			2010			2009
Unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1,	$	340,351		$	562,076		$	748,942

The Company’s profit-sharing plan includes a matching 401k portion, in which the Company matches the first 3% of eligible employee contributions. The Company made annual contributions in an amount up to 6% of income before income taxes and before contributions to the profit-sharing and pension plans for all participants, limited to the maximum amount deductible for Federal income tax purposes, for each of the years shown. In addition, employees were able to make additional tax-deferred contributions.

December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009

An employer is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Under the Company’s funding policy for the defined benefit pension plan, contributions are made to a trust as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities over a reasonable period. To the extent that these requirements are fully covered by assets in the trust, a contribution might not be made in a particular year. The Company made a $1,243,000 contribution to the defined benefit plan through March 30, 2012, of which $310,000 relates to the 2010 plan year and $933,000 relates to the 2011 plan year. The minimum required contribution for the 2012 plan year is estimated to be $1,048,000. The Company has not determined whether it will make any contributions other than the minimum required funding contribution for 2012.

The estimated prior service cost for the defined benefit pension plan that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic cost in 2012 is $78,628. During 2012, $92,378 is the estimated amount of actuarial loss subject to amortization into net periodic pension cost.

Assumptions utilized to determine benefit obligations as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and to determine pension expense for the year then ended are as follows:

	2011			2010			2009
Determination of Benefit obligation at year end:
Discount rate		4.75	%		5.75	%		6.00	%
Annual rate of compensation increase		4.50	%		4.50	%		4.50	%
Determination of Pension expense for year ended:
Discount rate for the service cost		5.75	%		5.75	%		6.00	%
Annual rate of compensation increase		4.50	%		4.50	%		4.50	%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets		7.00	%		7.00	%		7.00	%

The assumed overall expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets used in calculating 2011 pension expense was 7%. Determination of the plan’s rate of return is based upon historical returns for equities and fixed income indexes. During the past five years the Company’s plan assets have experienced the following annual returns: 0.1% in 2011, 12.4% in 2010, 22.0% in 2009, (32.6)% in 2008, and 7.4% in 2007. The rate used in plan calculations may be adjusted by management for current trends in the economic environment. With a traditional investment mix of over half of the plan’s investments in equities, the actual return for any one plan year may fluctuate significantly with changes in the stock market. Due to a decline in the economy and a decrease in discount rates used in the actuarial calculation of plan income, the Company expects to incur $1,320,000 expense in 2012 compared to $907,000 in 2011.

Plan Assets

The investment policy of the pension plan is designed for growth in value while minimizing risk to the overall portfolio. The Company diversifies the assets through investments in domestic and international fixed income securities and domestic and international equity securities. The assets are readily marketable and can be sold to fund benefit payment obligations as they become payable. The Company’s long-term investment target mix for the plan is 70% equity securities and 30% fixed income. The Company regularly reviews its policies on the investment mix and may make changes depending on economic conditions and perceived investment mix.

The fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 by asset category are as follows:

Options have been adjusted to reflect a 4% stock dividend paid on July 1, 2011.

Options outstanding at December 31, 2011 had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 3.5 years and no intrinsic value. Options outstanding at December 31, 2010 had a remaining contractual life of approximately 4.5 years and no intrinsic value. No stock options were granted during in the years presented above.

Options exercisable at December 31, 2011 had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 3.3 years and no intrinsic value. Options exercisable at December 31, 2010 had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 4.1 years and no intrinsic value. No stock options were exercised during the years presented above.

Total stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $58,000, $87,000, and $130,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards was $99,000 and the related weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 3 years.

(12) Preferred Stock

On December 19, 2008, the Company announced its participation in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program (CPP), a voluntary program that provides capital to financially healthy banks. This program is designed to attract broad participation by banking institutions to help stabilize the financial system by encouraging lending. The Company has used the funds received, as discussed below, to continue to provide loans to its customers and to look for ways to deploy additional funds to benefit the communities in the Company’s market area.

Participating in this program included the Company’s issuance of 30,255 shares of senior preferred stock (with a par value of $1,000 per share) and a ten year warrant to purchase approximately 276,090 shares of common stock (see below for additional information) to the U.S. Department of Treasury in exchange for $30,255,000. The proceeds received were allocated between the preferred stock and the common stock warrant based upon their relative fair values. This resulted in the recording of a discount on the preferred stock upon issuance that reflects the value allocated to the warrant. The discount on the preferred stock will be accreted over five years, consistent with managements’ estimate of the life of the preferred stock. Such accretion will be treated as additional dividends on the preferred stock. The allocated carrying values of the senior preferred stock and common stock warrant at December 31, 2011 were $29,318,000 and $2,382,000, respectively.

The preferred shares carry a 5% cumulative dividend for the first five years and 9% thereafter if not redeemed. The preferred shares are redeemable after three years at par plus accrued dividends, or before three years if the Company raises Tier 1 capital in an amount equal to the preferred stock issued. The preferred stock generally does not have any voting rights, subject to an exception in the event the Company fails to pay dividends on the preferred stock for six or

more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive. Under such circumstances, the Treasury will be entitled to vote to elect two directors to the board until all unpaid dividends have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. The Company is prohibited from paying any dividends with respect to shares of common stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid in full on the senior preferred stock for all past dividend periods. The Treasury Department may also transfer the senior preferred stock to a third party at any time.

The common stock warrant is exercisable immediately with a ten year term, in whole or in part, at an exercise price of $16.44 per share. The preferred stock and warrant are classified as stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet and qualify, for regulatory capital purposes, as Tier I capital. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company had declared and paid $1,513,000 of dividends and amortized $476,000 of accretion of the discount on preferred stock.

(13) Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the year. The calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

	2011		2010			2009
Basic earnings (loss) per common share:
Net income (loss)	$	2,857,270	$	(3,551,740	)	$	4,955,757

Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.19	$	(1.19	)	$	0.64

Under the treasury stock method, outstanding stock options are dilutive when the average market price of the Company’s common stock, when combined with the effect of any unamortized compensation expense, exceeds the option price during the period, except when the Company has a loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders. In addition, proceeds from the assumed exercise of dilutive options along with the related tax benefit are assumed to be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price of such stock during the period.

The following options to purchase shares during the fiscal years ended 2011, 2010, and 2009 were not included in the respective computations of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the exercise price of the option, when combined with the effect of the unamortized compensation expense, was greater than the average market price of the common shares and were considered anti-dilutive.

(14) Capital Requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of the Company and the Bank are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to adjusted-average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2011, the most recent notification from the regulatory authorities categorized the bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since the notifications that management believes have changed the Bank’s categories.

(15) Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for the measurement of fair value, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies whenever other standards require (permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. In this standard, FASB clarified the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, the standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no transfers into or out of Level 2.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009

Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and significant to the fair value. These may be internally developed using the Company’s best information and assumptions that a market participant would consider.

ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased and on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.

The Company is required to disclose assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis separate from those measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis would include foreclosed real estate, long-lived assets, and core deposit intangible assets, which are reviewed when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

Available-for-sale securities

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Available-for-sale securities is the only balance sheet category the Company is required to prepare in conformity with U.S. GAAP to carry at fair value on a recurring basis. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Impaired Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis other than loans that are considered impaired. The net carrying value of impaired loans is generally based on fair values of the underlying collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. Once the fair value of the collateral has been determined and any impairment amount calculated, a specific reserve allocation is made. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3. As of December 31, 2011, the Company identified $30.4 million in impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating $3.7 million. Related to these loans, there was $11.3 million in charge-offs recorded during 2011.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets consist of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Other real estate owned assets are recorded as held for sale initially at the lower of the loan balance or fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. The Company relies on external appraisals and assessment of property values by our internal staff. In the case of non-real

estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgment based on experience and expertise of internal specialists. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3.

(16) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Loans

The fair values of loans are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The net carrying amount of impaired loans is generally based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. This method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit-price concept of fair value prescribed by ASC Topic 820.

Investment Securities

A detailed description of the fair value measurement of the debt instruments in the available for sale sections of the investment security portfolio is provided in the Fair Value Measurement section above. A schedule of investment securities by category and maturity is provided in the notes on Investment Securities.

Federal Funds Sold, Cash, and Due from Banks

The carrying amounts of short-term federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, interest earning deposits with banks, and cash and due from banks approximate fair value. Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell classified as short-term generally mature in 90 days or less.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows utilizing servicing rate, constant prepayment rate, servicing cost, and discount rate factors. Accordingly, the fair value is estimated based on a valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, market discount rates, cost to service, float earnings rates, and other ancillary income, including late fees.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

For accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short maturity for these financial instruments.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand, NOW accounts, savings, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase and Interest-bearing Demand Notes to U.S. Treasury

For securities sold under agreements to repurchase and interest-bearing demand notes to U.S. Treasury, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as such instruments reprice in a short time period.

Subordinated Notes and Other Borrowings

The fair value of subordinated notes and other borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for other borrowed money of similar remaining maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counterparties drawing on such financial instruments, and the present creditworthiness of such counterparties. The Company believes such commitments have been made on terms, which are competitive in the markets in which it operates. See Note 17 for further discussion.

Limitations

The fair value estimates provided are made at a point in time based on market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates.

(17) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company issues financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2011 no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses for these financial instruments.

The contractual amount of off-balance-sheet financial instruments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 as follows:

	2011		2010
Commitments to extend credit	$	117,170,561		94,114,449
Standby letters of credit		2,992,497		3,446,527

Commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain of the commitments and letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, furniture and equipment, and real estate.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support contractual obligations of the Company’s customers. The approximate remaining term of standby letters of credit range from one month to five years at December 31, 2011.

Pending Litigation

The Company and its subsidiaries, are defendants in various legal actions incidental to the Company’s past and current business activities. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included liabilities for these legal actions of $161,000 and $275,000, respectively. Based on the Company’s analysis, and considering the inherent uncertainties associated with litigation, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that these legal actions will materially adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations in the near term.

On November 18, 2010, a suit was filed against the Company and its subsidiary, Hawthorn Bank (the Bank) in the Circuit Court of Jackson County for the Eastern Division of Missouri state court by a customer alleging that the fees associated with the Bank’s automated overdraft program in connection with its debit card and ATM cards constitute unlawful interest in violation of Missouri’s usury laws. The suit seeks class-action status for Bank customers who have paid overdraft fees on their checking accounts. The suit seeks forefeiture and refund of twice the amount of improper overdraft fees assessed and collected. The court has denied the Bank’s motion to dismiss the suit. At this early stage of the litigation, it is not possible for management of the Bank to determine the probability of a material adverse outcome or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss.

On December 17, 2009, a suit was filed against Hawthorn Bank (the Bank) in Circuit Court of Jackson County for the Eastern Division of Missouri state court by a customer alleging that the Bank had not followed through on its commitment to fund a loan request. A jury found in favor of the customer and awarded $630,000 in damages to the plaintiffs, including $200,000 in punitive damages. After hearing post-judgment motions, the trial court struck the punitive damage award and entered an amended judgment for a total of $510,000 against the Bank. As of December 31, 2011, the Company carried a liability of $161,000 with respect to this matter. The Company is in the early stages of the appeals process and the probable outcome is presently not determinable.

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON EQUITY SECURITIES AND RELATED MATTERS

Market Price. Our Company’s common stock trades on Nasdaq’s global select market under the stock symbol of “HWBK.” The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid prices of our Company’s common stock by quarter for each quarter in 2011 and 2010 in which the stock was traded.

2011	High		Low
First Quarter	$	9.33	$	8.06
Second Quarter	$	8.89	$	7.29
Third Quarter	$	8.50	$	5.80
Fourth Quarter	$	8.10	$	5.50
2010	High		Low
First Quarter	$	12.50	$	9.08
Second Quarter	$	13.20	$	11.06
Third Quarter	$	13.37	$	8.69
Fourth Quarter	$	10.21	$	8.26

Shares Outstanding. As of March 5, 2012, our Company had issued 4,814,852 shares of common stock, of which 4,652,944 shares were outstanding. The outstanding shares were held of record by approximately 1,749 shareholders. Our Company has a warrant outstanding for the purchase of 276,090 shares of common stock. In addition, our Company has 30,255 shares of cumulative, perpetual preferred stock outstanding. The warrant and preferred shares were issued pursuant to the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (or CPP).

Dividends. The following table sets forth information on dividends paid by our Company in 2011 and 2010.

Month Paid	Dividends Per Share
January, 2011	$	0.05
April, 2011		0.05
July, 2011		0.05
October, 2011		0.05
Total for 2011	$	0.20
January, 2010	$	0.11
April, 2010		0.11
July, 2010		0.05
October, 2010		0.05
Total for 2010	$	0.32

Our Board of Directors intends that our Company will continue to pay quarterly dividends. The actual amount of quarterly dividends and the payment, as well as the amount, of any special dividend ultimately will depend on the payment of sufficient dividends by our subsidiary Bank to our Company. The payment by our Bank of dividends to our Company will depend upon such factors as our Bank’s financial condition, results of operations and current and anticipated cash needs, including capital requirements. In addition to the above limitations, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock is limited by our participation in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (or CPP). If we are not current in the payment of quarterly dividends on the Series A preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury in CPP, we cannot pay dividends on our common stock.

Stock Performance Graph. The following performance graph shows a comparison of cumulative total returns for our Company, the Nasdaq Stock Market (U.S. Companies), and a peer index of financial institutions having total assets of between $1 billion and $5 billion for the period from December 31, 2006, through December 31, 2011. The cumulative total return on investment for each of the periods for our Company, the Nasdaq Stock Market (U.S. Companies) and the peer index is based on the stock price or index at December 31, 2006. The performance graph

assumes that the value of an investment in our common stock and each index was $100 at December 31, 2006 and that all dividends were reinvested. The information presented in the performance graph is historical in nature and is not intended to represent or guarantee future returns.

The comparison of cumulative total returns presented in the above graph was plotted using the following index values and common stock price values:

The Bank grants real estate, commercial, installment, and other consumer loans to customers located within the communities surrounding Jefferson City, Clinton, Warsaw, Springfield, Branson and Lee’s Summit, Missouri. As such, the Bank is susceptible to changes in the economic environment in these communities. The Bank does not have a concentration of credit in any one economic sector. Installment and other consumer loans consist primarily of the financing of vehicles. At December 31, 2011, loans with a carrying value of $432,478,000 were pledged at Federal Home Loan Bank as collateral for borrowings and letters of credit.

The following is a summary of activity in 2011 of loans made by the Bank to executive officers and directors or to entities in which such individuals had a beneficial interest. Such loans were made in the normal course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral requirements, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other persons, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present unfavorable features.

The following table provides the balance in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related loan balance by impairment methodology. Loans evaluated under ASC 310-10-35 include loans on non-accrual status, which are individually evaluated for impairment, troubled debt restructurings, and other impaired loans deemed to have similar risk characteristics. All other loans are collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC 450-20. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and general allocations, the entire allowance is available to absorb credit losses.

Loans, or portions of loans, are charged off to the extent deemed uncollectible. Loan charge-offs reduce the allowance for loan losses, and recoveries of loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance. Once the fair value for a collateral dependent loan has been determined, any impaired amount is typically charged off unless the loan has other income streams to support repayment. For impaired loans which have other income streams to support repayment, a specific reserve is established for the amount determined to be impaired.

Impaired loans

Impaired loans totaled $53,619,534 and $56,270,543 at December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, and are comprised of loans on non-accrual status and loans which have been classified as troubled debt restructurings.

The categories of impaired loans at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

	2011		2010
Non-accrual loans	$	46,402,747	$	50,586,887

Interest income recognized on loans in non-accrual status and contractual interest that would have been recorded had the loans performed in accordance with their original contractual terms is as follows:

	2011		2010		2009
Contractual interest due on non-accrual loans	$	1,962,972	$	2,551,645	$	1,726,395

Net reduction in interest income	$	1,952,384	$	2,529,289	$	1,568,271

The specific reserve component of the Company’s allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was determined by using fair values of the underlying collateral obtained through independent appraisals and internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. The recorded investment varies from the unpaid principal balance primarily due to partial charge-offs taken resulting from current appraisals received. The amount recognized as interest income on impaired loans continuing to accrue interest, primarily related to troubled debt restructurings, was $274,519, $662,348, and $436,787, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans is calculated on a monthly basis during the years reported.

Delinquent and Non-Accrual Loans

The delinquency status of loans is determined based on the contractual terms of the notes. Borrowers are generally classified as delinquent once payments become 30 days or more past due. The following table provides aging information for the Company’s past due and non-accrual loans at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Credit Quality

The following table provides information about the credit quality of the loan portfolio using the Company’s internal rating system reflecting management’s risk assessment. Recent reviews by the Company’s 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. Loans are placed on watch status when (1) one or more weaknesses which could jeopardize timely liquidation exits; or (2) the margin or liquidity of an asset is sufficiently tenuous that adverse trends could result in a collection problem. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified may have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. Such loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the company may sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans when management believes such that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when (1) deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower exists for which payment of full principal and interest is not expected, or (2) upon which principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more and the asset is not both well secured and in the process of collection. Subsequent interest payments received on such loans are applied to principal if any doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income on a cash basis.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

At December 31, 2011, loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) totaled $32,165,238, of which $24,948,451 was on non-accrual status and $7,216,787 was on accrual status. At December 31, 2010, loans classified as TDRs totaled $22,080,431, of which $16,397,775 was on non-accrual status and $5,683,656 was on accrual status. When an individual loan is determined to be a TDR, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral less applicable selling costs. Accordingly, specific reserves of $1,522,422 and $1,359,079 were allocated to the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As a result of adopting the amendments in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-02 — Receivables (ASC Topic 310) — A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after January 1, 2011 for identification as TDRs. Based upon the provisions of this standard, the Company determined that 10 loans totaling $10,377,700 not previously classified as troubled debt restructurings met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring set forth under the ASU 2011-02. In all cases, these loans had previously been, and continue to be, classified as impaired. As each loan had been previously identified as impaired, an impairment review had been performed with respect to each loan and appropriate provisions for loan loss had been provided in prior periods.

The following table summarizes loans that were modified as TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	The Year Ended December 31, 2011
	Recorded Investment (1)
	Number of Contracts		Pre- Modification		Post- Modification
Troubled Debt Restructurings
Commercial, financial and agricultural		9	$	3,500,192	$	3,485,661
Real estate construction - commercial		8		6,616,223		6,227,302
Real estate mortgage - residential		7		1,157,063		1,009,716
Real estate mortgage - commercial		9		9,552,474		9,215,406
Total		33	$	20,825,952	$	19,938,085

(1) The amounts reported post-modification are inclusive of all partial pay-downs and charge-offs, and no portion of the debt was forgiven. Loans modified as a TDR that were fully paid down, charged-off or foreclosed upon during the period ended are not reported.

According to guidance provided in ASC subtopic 310-40, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, a loan restructuring or modification of terms is a TDR if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the borrowers financial difficulties grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The Company’s portfolio of loans classified as TDRs include concessions such as interest rates below the current market rate, deferring principal payments, and extending maturity dates. Once a loan becomes a TDR, it will continue to be reported as a TDR until it is ultimately repaid in full, charged-off, or foreclosed and sold. The Company considers a loan in TDR status in default when the borrowers payment according to the modified terms is at least 90 days past due or has defaulted due to expiration of the loans maturity date. During the year ended December 31, 2011, thirty-three loans were modified meeting the criteria for troubled debt restructurings. During this time period none of these 2011 TDRs have subsequently defaulted based on their restructured terms.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(16) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Loans

The fair values of loans are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The net carrying amount of impaired loans is generally based on the fair values of collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. This method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit-price concept of fair value prescribed by ASC Topic 820.

Investment Securities

A detailed description of the fair value measurement of the debt instruments in the available for sale sections of the investment security portfolio is provided in the Fair Value Measurement section above. A schedule of investment securities by category and maturity is provided in the notes on Investment Securities.

Federal Funds Sold, Cash, and Due from Banks

The carrying amounts of short-term federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, interest earning deposits with banks, and cash and due from banks approximate fair value. Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell classified as short-term generally mature in 90 days or less.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows utilizing servicing rate, constant prepayment rate, servicing cost, and discount rate factors. Accordingly, the fair value is estimated based on a valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, market discount rates, cost to service, float earnings rates, and other ancillary income, including late fees.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

For accrued interest receivable and payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short maturity for these financial instruments.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand, NOW accounts, savings, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase and Interest-bearing Demand Notes to U.S. Treasury

For securities sold under agreements to repurchase and interest-bearing demand notes to U.S. Treasury, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value, as such instruments reprice in a short time period.

Subordinated Notes and Other Borrowings

The fair value of subordinated notes and other borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for other borrowed money of similar remaining maturities.

A summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

	2011				2010
	Carrying amount		Fair value		Carrying amount		Fair value

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counterparties drawing on such financial instruments, and the present creditworthiness of such counterparties. The Company believes such commitments have been made on terms, which are competitive in the markets in which it operates. See Note 17 for further discussion.

Limitations

The fair value estimates provided are made at a point in time based on market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair value estimates.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting (U.S. GAAP) principles and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including the determination of the allowance for loan losses, values of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, and fair values of investment securities available-for-sale that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s management has evaluated and did not identify any subsequent events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

On July 1, 2011, the Company paid a special stock dividend of four percent to common shareholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2011. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, have been adjusted retroactively to reflect this change.

The significant accounting policies used by the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are summarized below:

Principles of Consolidation

In December of 2008 and March of 2010, the Company formed Hawthorn Real Estate, LLC, and Real Estate Holdings of Missouri, LLC, respectively, (the Real Estate Companies); both are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Hawthorn Bank (the Bank), and the Real Estate Companies. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Loans

Loans which the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or maturity are held for investment at their stated unpaid principal balance amount less unearned income and the allowance for loan losses. Income on loans is accrued on a simple-interest basis. Loan origination fees and certain direct costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to yield.

Non-Accrual Loans

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when management believes that the borrower’s financial condition, after consideration of business conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Loans that are contractually 90 day days past due as to principal and/or interest payments are generally placed on non-accrual, unless they are both well-secured and in the process of collection. Subsequent interest payments received on such loans are applied to principal if doubt exists as to the collectability of such principal; otherwise, such receipts are recorded as interest income. A loan remains on nonaccrual status until the loan is current as to payment of both principal and interest and/or the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay and remain current.

Restructured Loans

A modified or restructured loan is accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) for any loans in which concessions are made to the borrower for economic or legal reasons that the Company would not otherwise consider and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Once a loan has been classified as a TDR it remains a TDR for the life of the loan. The Company includes all accruing and non-accruing TDR’s in the impaired and non-performing asset totals. TDR’s are measured for impairment loss by using fair values of the underlying collateral obtained through independent appraisals and internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows.

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Included in impaired loans are all non-accrual loans and loans whose terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Impaired loans are individually evaluated for impairment based on fair values of the underlying collateral, obtained through independent appraisals or internal valuations for a collateral dependent loan, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows.

Loans Held for Sale

The Bank originates certain loans which are sold in the secondary mortgage market. These long-term, fixed-rate loans are typically classified as held for sale upon origination based upon management’s intent to sell. For loans with servicing rights retained, immediately upon locking in an interest rate, the Company enters into an agreement to sell the mortgage loan without recourse. At December 31, 2011 there were no mortgage loans that were held for sale in comparison to $62,000 at December 31, 2010.

Mortgage loan servicing fees earned on loans sold are reported as income when the related loan payments are collected net of amortization from mortgage servicing rights. Operational costs to service such loans are charged to expense as incurred.

Allowance/ Provision for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable loan losses regardless of the category of loan to be charged off. The allowance for loan losses consists of asset-specific reserves, and reserves based on expected loss estimates.

Management follows the guidance provided in FASB’s ASC Topic 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, in identifying and measuring loan impairment. If management determines that it is probable that all amounts due on a loan will not be collected under the original terms of the loan agreement, the loan is considered to be impaired. These loans are evaluated individually for impairment, and in conjunction with current economic conditions and loss experience, to determine specific reserves as further discussed below. Loans not individually evaluated are aggregated and reserves are recorded using a consistent methodology that considers historical loan loss experience by loan type, delinquencies, current economic conditions, loan risk ratings and industry concentration.

The asset-specific reserve component of the Company’s allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 was measured by fair values of the underlying collateral through independent appraisals, internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. The general reserve component of the Company’s allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 was determined by calculating historical loss percentages for various loan categories over the previous twelve quarters. Management determined that the previous twelve quarters were reflective of the loss characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio during the recent three year economic downturn. These historical loss percentages were then applied to the various categories of loans to determine an expected loss requirement for the current portfolio. Prior to 2010, the historical loss percentage for non-impaired loans was based on a blend between industry standards and the Company’s five year loss experience.

The unallocated portion of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of conditions that are not directly reflected in the determination of the asset-specific component and the expected loss component discussed above. The evaluation of incurred loss with respect to these qualitative conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they may not be identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. Conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated portion of the allowance include general economic and business conditions affecting the Company’s key lending areas, credit quality trends (including trends in substandard loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, bank regulatory examination results, and findings of the internal loan review department.

The underlying assumptions, estimates and assessments used by management to determine these components are continually evaluated and updated to reflect management’s current view of overall economic conditions and relevant factors impacting credit quality and inherent losses. Changes in such estimates could significantly impact the allowance and provision for credit losses. The Company could experience credit losses that are different from the current estimates made by management.

Loans, or portions of loans, are charged off to the extent deemed uncollectible. Loan charge-offs reduce the allowance for loan losses, and recoveries of loans previously charged off are added back to the allowance. Once the fair value for a collateral dependent loan has been determined, any impaired amount is typically charged off unless the loan has other income streams to support repayment. For impaired loans which have other income streams to support repayment, a specific reserve is established for the amount determined to be impaired.

Investment in Debt and Equity Securities

At the time of purchase, debt securities are classified into one of two categories: available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. All debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. The Company’s securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Changes in fair value, excluding certain losses associated with other-than-temporary impairment, are reported in other comprehensive income, net of taxes, a component of stockholders’ equity. Securities are periodically evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with guidance provided in the FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities. For those securities with other-than-temporary impairment, the entire loss in fair value is required to be recognized in current earnings if the Company intends to sell the securities or believes it more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before the anticipated recovery. If neither condition is met, but the Company does not expect to recover the amortized cost basis, the Company determines whether a credit loss has occurred, which is then recognized in current earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method over the lives of the respective securities, with consideration of historical and estimated prepayment rates for mortgage-backed securities, as an adjustment to yield. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are included in earnings based on the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

Capital Stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System administered by the Federal Housing Finance Board, is required to maintain an investment in the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) in an amount equal to 12 basis points of the Bank’s year-end total assets plus 4.45% of advances from the FHLB to the Bank. These investments are recorded at cost, which represents redemption value.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation applicable to buildings and improvements and furniture and equipment is charged to expense using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Such lives are estimated to be 5 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but tested annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives, such as core deposit intangibles and mortgage servicing rights, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Core deposit intangibles are amortized over periods of 7 to 8 years representing their estimated lives using straight line and accelerated methods. Mortgage servicing rights are amortized using straight line over the shorter of 7 years or the life of the loan.

When facts and circumstances indicate potential impairment of amortizable intangible assets, the Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value based upon future cash flows expected to result from the use of the underlying asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the underlying asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. The impairment loss recognized represents the amount by which the carrying value of the underlying asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying asset.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets consist of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Other real estate owned assets are initially recorded as held for sale at the lower of the loan balance or fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Any adjustment is recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses. The Company relies on external appraisals and assessment of property values by internal staff. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgment based on experience and expertise of internal specialists. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. The write-downs are recorded as other real estate expense. The Company establishes a valuation allowance related to other real estate owned on an asset-by-asset basis. The valuation allowance is created during the holding period when the fair value less cost to sell is lower than the “cost” of a parcel of other real estate.

Pension Plan

The Company provides a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all full-time employees. The benefits are based on age, years of service and the level of compensation during the employees highest ten years of compensation before retirement. Net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the retirement benefits. The Company records annual amounts relating to its pension plan based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and may make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plan are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions.

The Company follows authoritative guidance included in the FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Plans under the subtopic Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. ASC Topic 715 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its consolidated balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This guidance also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its fiscal year-end, with limited exceptions. Additional disclosures are required to provide users with an understanding of how investment allocation decisions are made, major categories of plan assets, and fair value measurement of plan assets as defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset / liability method by recognizing the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing the Company’s future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns such as realization of the effects of temporary differences, net operating loss carry forwards and changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. A valuation allowance is established when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable. In this case, the Company would adjust the recorded value of our deferred tax asset, which would result in a direct charge to income tax expense in the period that the determination was made. Likewise, the Company would reverse the valuation allowance when the realization of the deferred tax asset is more likely than not. In addition, the Company is subject to the continuous examination of its tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. The Company accrues for penalties and interest related to income taxes in income tax expense. At December 31, 2010, total accrued interest was $31,000 and total interest expense recognized for the year ended 2010 was $24,000. As of December 31, 2011, the Company released $28,000 of interest accrued related to the release of $221,000 of uncertain tax provisions.

Trust Department

Property held by the Bank in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers is not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, since such items are not assets of the Company. Trust department income is recognized on the accrual basis.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term federal funds sold and securities sold or purchased under agreements to resell, interest earning deposits with banks, cash, and due from banks.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based employee compensation plan is described in Note 11, Stock Compensation. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, the Company measures the cost of the stock-based compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the award, recognizing the cost over the requisite service period. The fair value of an award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expense recognized is based on an estimation of the number of awards for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered, and is included in salaries and employee benefits in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The standard also requires that excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected as financing cash inflows instead of operating cash inflows.

Treasury Stock

The purchase of the Company’s common stock is recorded at cost. Purchases of the stock are made both in the open market and through negotiated private purchases based on market prices. At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost associated with such stock on a first-in-first-out basis.

Comprehensive Income

The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).

Reclassifications

Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

Other Comprehensive Income In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for periods beginning January 1, 2012 and requires retrospective application. The ASU does not change the components of other comprehensive income, the timing of items reclassified to net income, or the net income basis for income per share calculations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (Topic 220), which defers the requirement within ASU No. 2011-05 to present the reclassification amounts from other comprehensive income to net income as a separate component on the income statement. Until the FASB has reached a resolution, entities are required to report reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05.

Fair Value Measurements In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, to substantially converge the guidance in U.S. GAAP and IFRS on fair value measurements and disclosures. The amended guidance changes several aspects of the fair value measurement guidance ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, and includes several new fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Repurchase Agreements In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Consideration of Effective Control on Repurchase Agreements, which deals with the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 changes the rules for determining when these transactions should be accounted for as financings, as opposed to sales. The guidance in ASU 2011-03 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Troubled Debt Restructurings In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 provide a creditor additional guidance in determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring by concluding that both the following conditions exist (1) a creditor has granted a concession, and (2) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. A provision in ASU No. 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 were adopted for the Company’s reporting period ending September 30, 2011 and required retrospective application to all restructurings occurring during 2011 along with additional required disclosures. Under the guidance for identifying TDR’s provided in the ASU, the Company identified 10 additional loans as a result of the adoption. See Note 2 for further discussion.

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20 — Receivables (ASC Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This ASU requires expanded credit risk disclosures intended to provide investors with greater transparency regarding the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. Under this ASU, companies are required to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements, such as aging information, credit quality indicators, changes in the allowance for credit losses, and the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings and their effect on the allowance for credit losses. Both new and existing disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class based on the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing its allowance for credit losses and managing its credit exposure. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occur during a reporting period are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures required by this update are reported in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Preferred Stock [Abstract]

Preferred Stock

(12) Preferred Stock

On December 19, 2008, the Company announced its participation in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program (CPP), a voluntary program that provides capital to financially healthy banks. This program is designed to attract broad participation by banking institutions to help stabilize the financial system by encouraging lending. The Company has used the funds received, as discussed below, to continue to provide loans to its customers and to look for ways to deploy additional funds to benefit the communities in the Company’s market area.

Participating in this program included the Company’s issuance of 30,255 shares of senior preferred stock (with a par value of $1,000 per share) and a ten year warrant to purchase approximately 276,090 shares of common stock (see below for additional information) to the U.S. Department of Treasury in exchange for $30,255,000. The proceeds received were allocated between the preferred stock and the common stock warrant based upon their relative fair values. This resulted in the recording of a discount on the preferred stock upon issuance that reflects the value allocated to the warrant. The discount on the preferred stock will be accreted over five years, consistent with managements’ estimate of the life of the preferred stock. Such accretion will be treated as additional dividends on the preferred stock. The allocated carrying values of the senior preferred stock and common stock warrant at December 31, 2011 were $29,318,000 and $2,382,000, respectively.

The preferred shares carry a 5% cumulative dividend for the first five years and 9% thereafter if not redeemed. The preferred shares are redeemable after three years at par plus accrued dividends, or before three years if the Company raises Tier 1 capital in an amount equal to the preferred stock issued. The preferred stock generally does not have any voting rights, subject to an exception in the event the Company fails to pay dividends on the preferred stock for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive. Under such circumstances, the Treasury will be entitled to vote to elect two directors to the board until all unpaid dividends have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. The Company is prohibited from paying any dividends with respect to shares of common stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid in full on the senior preferred stock for all past dividend periods. The Treasury Department may also transfer the senior preferred stock to a third party at any time.

The common stock warrant is exercisable immediately with a ten year term, in whole or in part, at an exercise price of $16.44 per share. The preferred stock and warrant are classified as stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet and qualify, for regulatory capital purposes, as Tier I capital. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company had declared and paid $1,513,000 of dividends and amortized $476,000 of accretion of the discount on preferred stock.

Balance at December 31, 2011	$	542,746		$	2,308,377

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are amortized over the shorter of 7 years or the life of the loan. They are periodically reviewed for impairment and if impairment is indicated, recorded at fair value. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, no temporary impairment was recognized. The fair value of MSRs is based on the present value of expected cash flows, as further discussed in Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Mortgage loans serviced for others totaled approximately $307,016,000 and $298,325,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Included in other noninterest income were real estate servicing fees for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 of $863,000, $927,000, and $888,000, respectively.

The Company’s amortization expense on intangible assets in any given period may be different from the estimated amounts depending upon the acquisition of intangible assets, changes in mortgage interest rates, prepayment rates and other market conditions. The following table shows the estimated future amortization expense based on existing asset balances and the interest rate environment as of December 31, 2011 for the next five years:

	Core Deposit Intangible Asset		Mortgage Servicing Rights

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

(17) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company issues financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business of meeting the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s extent of involvement and maximum potential exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial instruments included on its consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2011 no amounts have been accrued for any estimated losses for these financial instruments.

The contractual amount of off-balance-sheet financial instruments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 as follows:

	2011		2010
Commitments to extend credit	$	117,170,561		94,114,449
Standby letters of credit		2,992,497		3,446,527

Commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain of the commitments and letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, furniture and equipment, and real estate.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support contractual obligations of the Company’s customers. The approximate remaining term of standby letters of credit range from one month to five years at December 31, 2011.

Pending Litigation

The Company and its subsidiaries, are defendants in various legal actions incidental to the Company’s past and current business activities. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included liabilities for these legal actions of $161,000 and $275,000, respectively. Based on the Company’s analysis, and considering the inherent uncertainties associated with litigation, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that these legal actions will materially adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations in the near term.

On November 18, 2010, a suit was filed against the Company and its subsidiary, Hawthorn Bank (the Bank) in the Circuit Court of Jackson County for the Eastern Division of Missouri state court by a customer alleging that the fees associated with the Bank’s automated overdraft program in connection with its debit card and ATM cards constitute unlawful interest in violation of Missouri’s usury laws. The suit seeks class-action status for Bank customers who have paid overdraft fees on their checking accounts. The suit seeks forefeiture and refund of twice the amount of improper overdraft fees assessed and collected. The court has denied the Bank’s motion to dismiss the suit. At this early stage of the litigation, it is not possible for management of the Bank to determine the probability of a material adverse outcome or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss.

On December 17, 2009, a suit was filed against Hawthorn Bank (the Bank) in Circuit Court of Jackson County for the Eastern Division of Missouri state court by a customer alleging that the Bank had not followed through on its commitment to fund a loan request. A jury found in favor of the customer and awarded $630,000 in damages to the plaintiffs, including $200,000 in punitive damages. After hearing post-judgment motions, the trial court struck the punitive damage award and entered an amended judgment for a total of $510,000 against the Bank. As of December 31, 2011, the Company carried a liability of $161,000 with respect to this matter. The Company is in the early stages of the appeals process and the probable outcome is presently not determinable.

Earnings (loss) per Share [Abstract]

Earnings (loss) per Share

(13) Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the year. The calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

	2011		2010			2009
Basic earnings (loss) per common share:
Net income (loss)	$	2,857,270	$	(3,551,740	)	$	4,955,757

Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.19	$	(1.19	)	$	0.64

Under the treasury stock method, outstanding stock options are dilutive when the average market price of the Company’s common stock, when combined with the effect of any unamortized compensation expense, exceeds the option price during the period, except when the Company has a loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders. In addition, proceeds from the assumed exercise of dilutive options along with the related tax benefit are assumed to be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price of such stock during the period.

The following options to purchase shares during the fiscal years ended 2011, 2010, and 2009 were not included in the respective computations of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the exercise price of the option, when combined with the effect of the unamortized compensation expense, was greater than the average market price of the common shares and were considered anti-dilutive.

	Years Ended December 31,

Net deferred tax asset	$	10,822,354	$	11,635,494

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these temporary differences at December 31, 2011 and, therefore, has not established a valuation reserve.

At December 31, 2011, the accumulation of prior years’ earnings representing tax bad debt deductions of the Bank was $2,931,503. If these tax bad debt reserves were charged for losses other than bad debt losses, the Bank would be required to recognize taxable income in the amount of the charge. It is not contemplated that such tax-restricted retained earnings will be used in a manner that would create federal income tax liabilities.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which addresses the accounting for uncertain tax positions. As a result of the lapse of the statue of limitations for the 2007 tax year, the Company recognized $340,351 of gross unrecognized tax benefits and $30,969 of accrued interest. This resulted in a decrease of the effective tax rate for the year-ended December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any uncertain tax provisions.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	2011			2010			2009
Unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1,	$	340,351		$	562,076		$	748,942

The Bank subsidiary of the Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) and has access to term financing from the FHLB. These borrowings are secured under a blanket agreement which assigns all investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines stock, as well as mortgage loans equal to 125% to 175% (based on collateral type) of the outstanding advance balance, to secure amounts borrowed by the Bank. The outstanding balance of $28,410,000 includes $10,000,000 which the FHLB may call for early payment within the next year. The FHLB has also issued letters of credit totaling $206,000 at December 31, 2011. Based upon the collateral pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines at December 31, 2010, the Bank could borrow up to an additional $230,465,000 under the agreement.

On March 17, 2005, Exchange Statutory Trust II, a business trust issued $23,000,000 of 30-year floating rate Trust Preferred Securities (TPS) to a TPS Pool. The floating rate is equal to a three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.83% and reprices quarterly (2.39% at December 31, 2011). The TPS can be prepaid without penalty at any time after five years from the issuance date.

The TPS represent preferred interests in the trust. The Company invested approximately $712,000 in common interests in the trust and the purchaser in the private placement purchased $23,000,000 in preferred interests. The proceeds were used by the trust to purchase from the Company its 30-year deeply subordinated debentures whose terms mirror those stated above for the TPS. The debentures are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a subordinated guarantee. Distributions on the TPS are payable quarterly on March 17, June 17, September 17, and December 17 of each year that the TPS are outstanding. The trustee for the TPS holders is U.S. Bank, N.A.. The trustee does not have the power to take enforcement action in the event of a default under the TPS for five years from the date of default. In the event of default, however, the Company would be precluded from paying dividends until the default is cured.

On March 17, 2004, Exchange Statutory Trust I, a Delaware business trust and subsidiary of the Company issued $25,000,000 of floating TPS to a TPS Pool. The floating rate is equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 2.70% and reprices quarterly (3.26% at December 31, 2011). The TPS are fully, irrevocably, and unconditionally guaranteed on a subordinated basis by the Company. The proceeds of the TPS were invested in junior subordinated debentures of the Company. Distributions on the TPS are payable quarterly on March 17, June 17, September 17, and December 17 of each year that the TPS are outstanding. The TPS mature on March 17, 2034. That maturity date may be shortened if certain conditions are met.

The Exchange Statutory Trusts are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. Accordingly, the Company does not report the securities issued by the Exchange Statutory Trusts as liabilities, and instead reports the subordinated notes issued by the Company and held by the Exchange Statutory Trusts as liabilities. The amount of the subordinated notes as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $49,486,000. The Company has recorded the investments in the common securities issued by the Exchange Statutory Trusts aggregating $1,486,000, and the corresponding obligations under the subordinated notes, as well as the interest income and interest expense on such investments and obligations in its consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s profit-sharing plan includes a matching 401k portion, in which the Company matches the first 3% of eligible employee contributions. The Company made annual contributions in an amount up to 6% of income before income taxes and before contributions to the profit-sharing and pension plans for all participants, limited to the maximum amount deductible for Federal income tax purposes, for each of the years shown. In addition, employees were able to make additional tax-deferred contributions.

Pension

The Company also provides a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all full-time employees.

An employer is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Under the Company’s funding policy for the defined benefit pension plan, contributions are made to a trust as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities over a reasonable period. To the extent that these requirements are fully covered by assets in the trust, a contribution might not be made in a particular year. The Company made a $1,243,000 contribution to the defined benefit plan through March 30, 2012, of which $310,000 relates to the 2010 plan year and $933,000 relates to the 2011 plan year. The minimum required contribution for the 2012 plan year is estimated to be $1,048,000. The Company has not determined whether it will make any contributions other than the minimum required funding contribution for 2012.

The estimated prior service cost for the defined benefit pension plan that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic cost in 2012 is $78,628. During 2012, $92,378 is the estimated amount of actuarial loss subject to amortization into net periodic pension cost.

Assumptions utilized to determine benefit obligations as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and to determine pension expense for the year then ended are as follows:

	2011			2010			2009
Determination of Benefit obligation at year end:
Discount rate		4.75	%		5.75	%		6.00	%
Annual rate of compensation increase		4.50	%		4.50	%		4.50	%
Determination of Pension expense for year ended:
Discount rate for the service cost		5.75	%		5.75	%		6.00	%
Annual rate of compensation increase		4.50	%		4.50	%		4.50	%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets		7.00	%		7.00	%		7.00	%

The assumed overall expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets used in calculating 2011 pension expense was 7%. Determination of the plan’s rate of return is based upon historical returns for equities and fixed income indexes. During the past five years the Company’s plan assets have experienced the following annual returns: 0.1% in 2011, 12.4% in 2010, 22.0% in 2009, (32.6)% in 2008, and 7.4% in 2007. The rate used in plan calculations may be adjusted by management for current trends in the economic environment. With a traditional investment mix of over half of the plan’s investments in equities, the actual return for any one plan year may fluctuate significantly with changes in the stock market. Due to a decline in the economy and a decrease in discount rates used in the actuarial calculation of plan income, the Company expects to incur $1,320,000 expense in 2012 compared to $907,000 in 2011.

Plan Assets

The investment policy of the pension plan is designed for growth in value while minimizing risk to the overall portfolio. The Company diversifies the assets through investments in domestic and international fixed income securities and domestic and international equity securities. The assets are readily marketable and can be sold to fund benefit payment obligations as they become payable. The Company’s long-term investment target mix for the plan is 70% equity securities and 30% fixed income. The Company regularly reviews its policies on the investment mix and may make changes depending on economic conditions and perceived investment mix.

The fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 by asset category are as follows:

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

(15) Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for the measurement of fair value, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies whenever other standards require (permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. In this standard, FASB clarified the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, the standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no transfers into or out of Level 2.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and significant to the fair value. These may be internally developed using the Company’s best information and assumptions that a market participant would consider.

ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased and on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.

The Company is required to disclose assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis separate from those measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis would include foreclosed real estate, long-lived assets, and core deposit intangible assets, which are reviewed when circumstances or other events indicate that impairment may have occurred.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

Available-for-sale securities

Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Available-for-sale securities is the only balance sheet category the Company is required to prepare in conformity with U.S. GAAP to carry at fair value on a recurring basis. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Valuation methods for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Impaired Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis other than loans that are considered impaired. The net carrying value of impaired loans is generally based on fair values of the underlying collateral obtained through independent appraisals or internal evaluations, or by discounting the total expected future cash flows. Once the fair value of the collateral has been determined and any impairment amount calculated, a specific reserve allocation is made. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3. As of December 31, 2011, the Company identified $30.4 million in impaired loans that had specific allowances for losses aggregating $3.7 million. Related to these loans, there was $11.3 million in charge-offs recorded during 2011.

Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets

Other real estate owned and repossessed assets consist of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure. This collateral is comprised of commercial and residential real estate and other non-real estate property, including autos, manufactured homes, and construction equipment. Other real estate owned assets are recorded as held for sale initially at the lower of the loan balance or fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. The Company relies on external appraisals and assessment of property values by our internal staff. In the case of non-real estate collateral, reliance is placed on a variety of sources, including external estimates of value and judgment based on experience and expertise of internal specialists. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically, and the assets may be written down to reflect a new cost basis. Because many of these inputs are not observable, the measurements are classified as Level 3.

The Company’s available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 365 securities at December 31, 2011. One of these securities with an unrealized loss of $294 had been in the loss position for 12 months or longer. The $42,000 unrealized loss included in other comprehensive income at December 31, 2011 was caused by interest rate fluctuations. The Company’s available for sale portfolio consisted of approximately 333 securities at December 31, 2010. None of these securities had been in the loss position for 12 months or longer. The $1,136,000 unrealized loss included in other comprehensive income at December 31, 2010 was caused by interest rate fluctuations. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality these investments were not considered other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Deposits and Capital Requirements [Abstract]

Capital Requirements

(14) Capital Requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of the Company and the Bank are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to adjusted-average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2011, the most recent notification from the regulatory authorities categorized the bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since the notifications that management believes have changed the Bank’s categories.

The actual and required capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Actual					Minimum Capital  requirements					Well-Capitalized Capital Requirements
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
