<P align="center" style="font-size: 8pt"><FONT style="font-size: 16pt"><B>Hawthorn Bancshares First Quarter Earnings</B></FONT>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 16pt"><FONT style="font-size: 10pt"><B>LEE&#146;S SUMMIT, Mo. &#151; May&nbsp;14, 2010 &#151; </B>Hawthorn Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ: HWBK), today reported
consolidated financial results for the Company for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Hawthorn Bank, which is the main operating subsidiary of Hawthorn Bancshares, reported earnings for
the first 3&nbsp;months of 2010 at $1.3&nbsp;million. &#147;Hawthorn Bank has always been a source of strength for
Hawthorn Bancshares and management is pleased that our core operations continue to be profitable in
such a challenging economic cycle.&#148; said Chairman and CEO James E. Smith. The net income available
to common shareholders of Hawthorn Bancshares was reduced by non-bank expenses and preferred
dividends on stock issued to the U.S. Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">On a consolidated basis, Hawthorn Bancshares generated net income for the quarter of $0.5&nbsp;million,
down from $1.1&nbsp;million for the first quarter of 2009. After deducting accrued dividends and
accretion on preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury, consolidated operations were essentially
breakeven with earnings per diluted common share at $0.00 for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010
compared to $0.13 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2009.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Operating Results</B>
<BR>
<B>Net Interest Income</B>
<BR>
Net interest income for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2010 increased 8.2% to $10.3&nbsp;million from $9.5
million for the same period in 2009. The increase is attributed to continued strengthening of the
Company&#146;s net interest margin which increased from 3.32% for the first quarter of 2009 to 3.61% for
the first quarter of 2010.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Non-Interest Income and Expense</B>
<BR>
Non-interest income for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010 was $2.0&nbsp;million compared to $2.8
million for the same period in 2009. The decline is primarily the result of decreased residential
real estate refinancing activity which was spurred in 2009 by the low rate environment.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010 was $9.1&nbsp;million compared to $9.0
million for first quarter 2009. The increase is largely attributed to a $0.3&nbsp;million increase in
expenses related to foreclosed assets.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Loan Loss Reserve</B>
<BR>
Hawthorn&#146;s level of non-performing loans increased to 6.44% of total loans at March&nbsp;31, 2010, up
from 4.27% at year-end 2009. During the quarter, the Company recognized net charge-offs of $2.6
million compared to $1.3&nbsp;million for the first quarter of 2009. As a result, the Company provided
an additional $2.5&nbsp;million to the allowance for loan losses for the first quarter of 2010, compared
to $1.8&nbsp;million for the same period in 2009. The total allowance for loan losses at March&nbsp;31, 2010
was $14.7&nbsp;million, or 1.50% of outstanding loans and 23.36% of non-performing loans as of March&nbsp;31,
2010. At December&nbsp;31, 2009, the total allowance for loan losses was $14.8&nbsp;million, or 1.49% of
outstanding loans and 34.94% of non-performing loans. Management believes based on detailed
analysis of each nonperforming credit and the value of any associated collateral that the allowance
for loan losses at March&nbsp;31, 2010 is sufficient to cover probable losses in nonperforming loans.
<BR>
In commenting on asset quality, Mr.&nbsp;Smith said, &#147;The slow economic recovery continues to impact our
customers. The $20.4&nbsp;million increase in non-performing loans during the first quarter is centered
in three commercial real estate credits which management is closely monitoring as they migrate
through the Company&#146;s foreclosure process. Management&#146;s continued focus on problem loan resolution
is evidenced by a $3.9&nbsp;million increase from March&nbsp;31, 2009 in the volume of foreclosed assets.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Financial Condition</B>
<BR>
Comparing March&nbsp;31, 2010 balances with December&nbsp;31, 2009, total assets increased slightly from $1.2
billion to $1.3&nbsp;billion. Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, decreased 1.8% to $959.5&nbsp;million,
while investment securities increased 4.0% to $159.0&nbsp;million. Total deposits increased 3.5% to
$989.8&nbsp;million. During the same period, stockholders&#146; equity decreased 0.2% to $107.6&nbsp;million or
8.5% of total assets due to common and preferred stock dividends totaling $0.9&nbsp;million. At 16.68%
and 11.20% of total assets, total risk based and leverage capital ratios far exceed regulatory
requirements.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">For the quarter, the annualized return on average common equity was 0.02% and the annualized return
on average assets was 0.16% compared with 2.88% and 0.34%, respectively, for the same period in
2009.
