Asp MVC optional redirect not working

C#

I have an ActionResult method for which I want to redirect to two other Action methods but this will depend on the value of a certain variable that is being passed in. When I attempt to run the action method it is not redirecting according to the logic but rather the else portion of the loop always.

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult PushBatch(FormCollection formcollection)
{
     ......
     ......

    NewCodesCount();

    int count = NewCodesCount();

    if (count > 1)
    {
        return RedirectToAction("ActionRequired");
    }
    else
    {
        return RedirectToAction("BatchProcessing");
    }
}

When the code above runs it is always redirecting to the BatchProcessing action method even when the value of count is greater than 1.

What am I missing and why is the logic skipping the If part of the loop ?

What I have tried:

I have tried to use the variant below but then the code complains that my method now has no return value :

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult PushBatch(FormCollection formcollection)
{
     ......
     ......

    NewCodesCount();

    int count = NewCodesCount();

    if (count > 1)
    {
        return RedirectToAction("ActionRequired");
    }
    else if (count < 1)
    {
        return RedirectToAction("BatchProcessing");
    }
}
