Methods and Procedures of Analysis

technical, financial, and organization and management aspects of the study:

Summary of Findings

a.

Market Aspect

There is an urgent need to organize a credit cooperative among the provincial government employees of
Tabuk since the present and existing sources of credit are not enough to meet the needs and demands of the
Tabuk provincial government employees. The respondents were in dire need of a credit cooperative where they can
save and borrow money at a low rate of interest. This desire is evidenced by majority of the respondents who
signified their approval to the establishment of the credit cooperative and their commitment to patronize the credit
cooperative should it materialize.
b. Technical Aspect
The temporary office of the Tabuk Credit Cooperative among the provincial employees of Tabuk shall be
located at the former KAPGEA canteen. This is situated adjacent to the Office of the Register of Deeds and the Budget
Office. This site is provided by the KAPGEA President since at present, there is no enough fund to finance the
construction of a Credit cooperative Office.
c. Financial Aspect
1. The projected members can raise more than the required initial capitalization of P5,000 to register the cooperative
as a full-fledged cooperative. In shares alone the prospective members will be able to raise P123,000. The
estimated initial financial resources of the project is P125,460 of which P123,000 will come from the members share
of stocks and P2,460 will come from the membership fee.
2. Analysis of the projected financial statements of the proposed cooperative shows that the project would be
profitable and would give the members a modest return on their investment at an average rate of 9.4% during its
first five years of operation.
D. Organization and Management Aspect
1. Of the 250 respondents in the survey, 246 respondents signified their willingness to become members of the
proposed credit cooperative.
2. A modified organizational set-up of the proposed credit cooperative is prepared based on the model by-laws as
prescribed by the Cooperative Development Authority.
3. It is evident in the survey that the majority of the respondents are professionals who would be tapped to become
officers of the proposed credit cooperative.
4. The personnel of the Cooperative Development Authority will prepare the training design of the much-needed premembership seminar and will also conduct a management seminar for the officers of the proposed cooperative.

E. Implications of the Study

The implications of the study are economic and social in nature.

Conclusions
From the findings presented in this study, the researcher as well as the provincial government employees
of Tabuk feel the urgent need of establishing the proposed credit cooperative.

Recommendation
The researcher highly recommends the immediate implementation of the credit cooperative for the
provincial government employees of Tabuk.
