Take a look at preceding sec filings of this, and other companies in the business, to discover historic relationships in the costs required to sell and manufacture the products they make. If you can read an accounting statement with some confidence, sometimes it can help to measure more precisely what it costs to deliver a particular product or service, and of course then, to determine how much of the product was actually sold and accounted for. From there, it takes a bit of guess work to establish the material affect other items in many of the sec published, and other public documents, may impart to a scheduled earnings report, but with a little luck, you may be able to establish whether an "estimated earnings projection" is close to your mark, or simply bunk. Good luck with your enterprises.
