"Conversion of opportunities in our sales funnel, now at $125 million, should start to accelerate in the third and fourth quarters, providing upside to our sales growth estimate of 30%.  This continued growth would put us on track to report positive non-GAAP operating income in both the third and fourth quarters and for the full year."
