next quarterly predictions

for those of us that like to predict the future and run a spreadsheet,

how are you going to estimate receipts for next quarterly? last quarterly was easy because we had 3 quarters and a figure of 22million of guidance (which they actually didn't hit anyway but it was a figure to use for estimates) to subtract from.

this time not so easy.

i have taken an average ratio of cogs to receipts from the last 6 quarters with the average margin of 26% which gives us receipts of around 6675000. i do however think it will be higher as this would be the lowest increase in receipts in the last 6 quarters.

id love to hear other peoples methods, figures and reasoning for predicting next quarters receipts.

cheers.
