ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

     On February 6, 1998, HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and Hopkinsville
Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") completed the conversion of the Bank to a
stock savings bank as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Common Stock
of the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "HFBC"
on February 9, 1998. The final appraisal of the pro forma market value of the
Common Stock the Company indicated a value of $40,336,250, or 4,033,625 shares
of Common Stock, at a price of $10.00 per share.

     The initial Subscription and Community Offering terminated on November 19,
1997. Subsequent thereto, an amended appraisal was prepared in accordance with
the Bank's Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") and federal regulations, and the
Company and the Bank resolicited all subscribers in the Subscription and
Community Offerings ( the "Resolicitation").

     In the conversion, shares were allocated among the subscribing Eligible
Account Holders in accordance with the Plan and federal regulations. The
allocation was based on the respective Qualifying Deposits of Eligible Account
Holders, as compared to the total Qualifying Deposits of all subscribing
Eligible Account Holders. Thus, the number of shares subscribed for was relevant
only if it was less than the number of shares available for allocation to the
Eligible Account Holder; an increase in an order did not otherwise result in an
increase in the allocation.

     The Company's Prospectus Supplement dated December 23, 1997 included
information regarding the approximate number of shares of Common Stock intended
to be purchased by directors and officers of the Bank, including their
associates. The following table updates such information to disclose shares
purchased by such persons.
