In addition, two of our directors, Philip B. Simon and Paul T. Marinelli, are President and Vice President, respectively, of Lawrence Investments, LLC, an entity also controlled by Mr. Ellison. Mr. Ellison could have interests that diverge from those of our other stockholders. This control by Mr. Ellison could depress the market price of our Class A common stock; deter, delay or prevent a change in control of LeapFrog; or affect other significant corporate transactions that otherwise might be viewed as beneficial for other stockholders.

We develop products in the United States and market our products primarily in North America and, to a lesser extent, in Europe and the rest of the world. We are billed by and pay our third-party manufacturers primarily in U.S. dollars. Sales to our international customers are transacted primarily in the countrys local currency. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Beginning in the first quarter of 2004, we began managing our foreign currency transaction exposure by entering into short-term forward contracts. The purpose of this hedging program is to minimize the foreign currency exchange gain or loss reported in our financial statements.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized net gains of approximately $0.1 million resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For the same period in 2004, we experienced a foreign currency exchange gain of approximately $0.8 million.
Cash equivalents and short term investments are presented at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. We invest our excess cash in accordance with our investment policy. Any adverse changes in interest rates or securities prices may harm the valuation of our short term investments and operating results. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our cash was invested primarily in municipal money market funds, short term fixed income auction rate municipal securities and auction rate preferred securities. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, a 50 basis point movement in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of our portfolio at June 30, 2005.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on our outstanding bank debt. The level of a certain financial ratio maintained by us determines interest rates we pay on borrowings. The interest rate will be between prime and prime plus 0.25% or LIBOR plus 1.25% and LIBOR plus 2.00%. Prime rate is the rate publicly announced by Bank of America as its prime rate. The interest cost of our bank debt is affected by changes in either prime rates or LIBOR. Any adverse changes could harm our operating results. As of June 30, 2005, we had no outstanding debt and outstanding letters of credit of $0.2 million.
