Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
	In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Universal Electronics Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries contain all the adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation. Information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As used herein, the terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Universal Electronics Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates to the contrary.
	Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the "Risk Factors," "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," and the "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and notes thereto included in Items 1A, 7, 7A, and 8, respectively, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranties, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. Actual results may differ from our expectations. Based on our evaluation, our estimates, judgments and assumptions may be adjusted as more information becomes available. Any adjustment may be material.
	See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." This standard requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance became effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which will supersede most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. This new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 contains expanded disclosure requirements relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and permits the use of either the full retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. We have not yet selected a transition method and are evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

	Sales Returns
	The allowance for sales returns at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 included reserves for items returned prior to period-end that were not completely processed, and therefore had not yet been removed from the allowance for sales returns balance. If these returns had been fully processed, the allowance for sales returns balance would have been approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The value of these returned goods was included in our inventory balance at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	Significant Customers
	Net sales to the following customers totaled more than 10% of our net sales:
		Three Months Ended June 30,

	DIRECTV	$	—		—	%		$	42,984	17.1	%
	The loss of these customers or any other customer, either in the United States or abroad, due to their financial weakness or bankruptcy, or our inability to obtain orders or maintain our order volume with them, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

	-1	The additions charged to costs and expenses do not include inventory directly written-off that was scrapped during production totaling $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are production waste and are not included in management’s reserve for excess and obsolete inventory.
	-2	These amounts represent the reversal of reserves associated with inventory items that were sold during the period. Sell through is the result of differences between our judgment concerning the saleability of inventory items during the excess and obsolete inventory review process and our subsequent experience.
	Significant Supplier
	We purchase integrated circuits, components and finished goods from multiple sources. We had purchases from the following significant supplier that totaled more than 10% of our total inventory purchases as follows:

	Our payable terms and pricing with this vendor are consistent with the terms offered by other vendors in the ordinary course of business. The accounting policies that we apply to our transactions with our related party vendor are consistent with those applied in transactions with independent third parties. Corporate management routinely monitors purchases from our related party vendor to ensure these purchases remain consistent with our business objectives.

Management believes that the net book value represents the fair value of our patents, trademarks and trade names.

Line of Credit	'
	Line of Credit
	On October 2, 2012, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") which provides for a $55.0 million line of credit ("Credit Line") that may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures. Amounts available for borrowing under the Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were $13 thousand at June 30, 2014. The Amended Credit Agreement expires on November 1, 2014. We are presently in negotiations with U.S. Bank to extend the term of the Amended Credit Agreement and expect to have an extension or replacement credit facility in place prior to the scheduled expiration date. The size, rate and other key terms of the extension or replacement credit facility have yet to be determined.
	All obligations under the Credit Line are secured by substantially all of our U.S. personal property and tangible and intangible assets as well as 65% of our ownership interest in Enson Assets Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary which controls our manufacturing factories in the People's Republic of China ("PRC").
	Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we may elect to pay interest on the Credit Line based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 1.75%) or base rate (based on the prime rate of U.S. Bank or as otherwise specified in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (varying from -0.25% to +0.25%). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on our leverage ratio as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. There are no commitment fees or unused line fees under the Amended Credit Agreement.
	The Amended Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and minimum liquidity levels. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement.
	We had no interest expense on borrowings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 nor during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Our total interest expense on borrowings was $23 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

	Income Taxes
	We utilize our estimated annual effective tax rate to determine our provision for income taxes for interim periods. The income tax provision is computed by taking the estimated annual effective tax rate and multiplying it by the year-to-date pre-tax book income.
	We recorded income tax expense of $2.8 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 24.7% and 30.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was due to the recording of $0.4 million of additional tax reserves in the second quarter of 2013 resulting from a tax audit in Hong Kong for years preceding our acquisition of Enson Assets Limited. In addition, foreign earnings, which have a lower tax rate than the United States, represented a higher percentage of our pre-tax income during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Partially offsetting these favorable items was the expiration of the "Look-Through" rule, which expired as of December 31, 2013 and resulted in an increase of Subpart F income for the three months ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the federal research and development ("R&D") tax credit for 2014 has not been passed; therefore, the benefit is not included in our estimated tax rate for the current year.
	We recorded income tax expense of $4.1 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 24.5% and 24.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was due to the recording of $0.4 million of additional tax reserves in the second quarter of 2013 resulting from a tax audit in Hong Kong for years preceding our acquisition of Enson Assets Limited. In addition, foreign earnings, which have a lower tax rate than the United States, represented a higher percentage of our pre-tax income during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Partially offsetting these favorable items was the expiration of the "Look-Through" rule, which expired as of December 31, 2013 and resulted in an increase of Subpart F income for the six months ended June 30, 2014. In addition, the federal R&D tax credit for 2014 has not been passed; therefore, the benefit is not included in our estimated tax rate for the current year.
	On June 30, 2014, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $3.7 million, including interest and penalties, of which $3.2 million would affect the annual effective tax rate if these tax benefits are realized. Further, we are unaware of any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within the next twelve months. However, based on federal, state and foreign statute expirations in various jurisdictions, we anticipate a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.2 million within the next twelve months.
	We have elected to classify interest and penalties as a component of tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties of $0.2 million and $0.1 million on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are included in our unrecognized tax benefits.
	We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. On June 30, 2014, the open statutes of limitations in our significant tax jurisdictions were as follows: federal 2010 through 2013, state 2009 through 2013, and foreign 2007 through 2013. On June 30, 2014, of our gross unrecognized tax benefits of $3.7 million, which included $0.2 million of interest and penalties, $1.5 million are classified as current and $2.2 million are classified as long term.

	(1)	Effective January 1, 2008, the Chinese Labor Contract Law was enacted in the PRC. This law mandated that PRC employers remit the applicable social insurance payments to their local government. Social insurance is comprised of various components such as pension, medical insurance, job injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and a housing assistance fund, and is administered in a manner similar to social security in the United States. This amount represents our estimate of the amounts due to the PRC government for social insurance on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	(2)	Accrued bonus includes an accrual for an extra month of salary ("13th month salary") to be paid to employees in certain geographies where it is the customary business practice. This 13th month salary is paid to these employees if they remain employed with us through December 31st. The total accrued for the 13th month salary was $0.5 million and $0.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

	Litigation
	On March 2, 2012, we filed a lawsuit against Universal Remote Control, Inc. ("URC") in the United States District Court, Central District of California (Universal Electronics Inc. v. Universal Remote Control, Inc., SACV12-0039 AG (JPRx)) alleging that URC was infringing, directly and indirectly, four of our patents related to remote control technology. We alleged that this complaint related to multiple URC remote control products, including the URC model numbers UR5U-9000L, WR7 and other remote controls with different model names or numbers, but with substantially the same designs, features, and functionalities. We sought monetary relief for the infringement, including enhanced damages due to the willfulness of URC's actions, injunctive relief to enjoin URC from further infringing, including contributory infringement and/or inducing infringement, and attorney's fees. URC denied infringing our patents and asserted a variety of counterclaims and affirmative defenses including invalidity and unenforceability of our patents, misuse of patents, and a breach of contract action stemming from the settlement by us of an earlier lawsuit against URC. On January 29, 2013, the Court held its "Markman" hearing and on February 1, 2013, the Court issued its ruling that four of the 24 claims we asserted against URC were invalid, effectively removing one of the four patents alleged by us to be infringed by URC from this litigation. In March 2014, the Court further narrowed the scope of this litigation granting URC’s motion for summary judgment with respect to certain issues that effectively removed two additional patents. In March 2014, the Court also granted our motion for summary judgment on certain of URC’s defenses and counterclaims, including URC’s counterclaim for breach of contract. A trial was held from May 6, 2014 through May 20, 2014, and the jury returned a verdict that URC did not infringe on our remaining patent, and found for URC on patent validity and several equitable defenses in the lawsuit, although the jury's verdict on the equitable defenses were advisory in nature. We do not believe that the evidence presented at trial supports the jury verdict and are currently seeking the trial court’s review of the verdict, including the jury's advisory verdict on the equitable defenses. A hearing on motions pertaining to the jury's verdict has been set for August 18, 2014, at which time we expect to obtain a ruling from the Court. However, at this time we cannot predict how the Court will rule. Based on the trial court's decisions on these jury verdict motions, there remain a variety of possible outcomes in this case, including filing further motions with the Court seeking judgment as a matter of law and/or a new trial. Additionally, depending upon how the Court rules at the August 18 hearing, URC may ask the court for reimbursement of its legal fees associated with its defense of this lawsuit and while we are unable to estimate the amount URC may claim or ultimately what amount, if any, the Court may award, such amount could be significant. We intend to oppose any such request and, if awarded, appeal any such decision. In all other respects, this litigation is continuing as scheduled and we expect the Court to enter ruling on all post-trial motions in the fourth quarter of 2014.
	On June 28, 2013, we filed a second lawsuit against URC, also in the United States District Court, Central District of California (Universal Electronics Inc. v. Universal Remote Control, Inc., SACV13-00987 JAK (SHx)). In this second lawsuit, we are alleging that URC is infringing, directly and indirectly, ten additional patents that we own related to remote control technology. As in the first lawsuit, in this second lawsuit we have alleged that this complaint relates to multiple URC remote control products. We are seeking monetary relief for infringement, including enhanced damages due to the willfulness of URC's actions, injunctive relief to enjoin URC from further infringing, including contributory infringement and/or inducing infringement, and attorney's fees. In mid-July 2013, URC filed a Notice of Related Cases seeking to join this lawsuit with the lawsuit we filed against URC on March 2, 2012 and we did not object to this Notice. Consequently, this lawsuit was transferred to the Judge and Magistrate hearing our first lawsuit filed against URC. In addition, URC answered this complaint with a denial of infringement, asserting affirmative defenses, and seeking a ruling that URC has not infringed our patents, that our patents are invalid and unenforceable, that the patents have been licensed to URC, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. In mid-November 2013, we filed a motion to add affiliated URC suppliers, Ohsung Electronics Co, Ltd, a South Korean entity, and Ohsung Electronics USA, Inc., a California entity, (collectively "Ohsung"), to the lawsuit. In February 2014, Ohsung answered and counterclaimed with a general denial of wrongdoing and asserted the standard affirmative defenses of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of our patents and breach of contract action stemming from the settlement by us of an earlier lawsuit against URC. In March 2014, we answered by disputing Ohsung’s defenses and with a general denial of Ohsung’s breach of contract complaint. In late June and early July of 2014, URC and Ohsung requested Inter Partes Review (IPR) with the US Patent and Trademark Office for each of the ten patents pending in the second URC lawsuit. We intend to vigorously defend each patent before the Patent Office. The Patent Office is expected to issue its decisions on URC’s petitions to institute IPRs within 6 months. In the interest of judicial economy and to best utilize our resources, upon the parties’ agreed motion, the Court has stayed this second lawsuit for 6 months pending the conclusion of the IPRs.
	On September 23, 2013, we filed a lawsuit against Peel Technologies, Inc. (“Peel”) in the United States District Court, Central District of California (Universal Electronics Inc. v. Peel Technologies, Inc., SACV13-01484 GAF (RNBx)) alleging that Peel is infringing, directly and indirectly, five of our patents related to remote control technology. We have alleged that this complaint relates to software and hardware used in connection with remote control devices, including Peel’s software products called “TV App” (sometimes referred to as “Sense TV”), “WatchOn App” and “Peel Smart Remote App,” and a product called “Peel Universal Remote” consisting of a Peel “Fruit” hardware device and a software component for use with the iOS operating system. We are seeking monetary relief for the infringement, including enhanced damages due to the willfulness of Peel’s actions, injunctive relief to enjoin Peel from further infringement, including contributory infringement and/or inducing infringement, and attorney’s fees. On November 14, 2013, Peel answered our complaint with a general denial that it is infringing our patents and has filed counter-claims, seeking declaratory judgments that our patents are not infringed and are invalid. They are also seeking attorney’s fees. In our reply to Peel’s counterclaims, which we filed on December 5, 2013, we have asked the Court to deny and dismiss with prejudice Peel’s counterclaims and sought after relief. In April 2014, both parties were granted leave by the court to amend the pleadings in the case. We have added four additional patents related to remote control technology, and Peel has filed a counterclaim against us alleging we are infringing one patent related to remote control technology which they recently acquired. We answered Peel’s counterclaim with a general denial of infringement and added our affirmative defenses of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability. We will seek attorney fees in connection with defending against this countersuit. In all other respects, this litigation is continuing with discovery under way and the parties are currently engaged in the claim construction process with a “Markman” hearing set for August 13, 2014.
	In March 2014, two of our subsidiaries, Gemstar Technology (China) Co. Ltd. and Gemstar Technology (Yangzhou) Co. Ltd., each filed arbitration requests in Hong Kong under the arbitration rules of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) against Dongguan City Liwang Battery Co. Ltd. (“LiWang”). In these requests, our subsidiaries are claiming that LiWang supplied defective batteries and are seeking damages incurred as a result. LiWang is opposing jurisdiction under the HKIAC and has, in turn, filed claims against Gemstar Technology (China) Co. Ltd. in the People’s Court of Panyu District, and against Gemstar Technology (Yangzhou) Co., Ltd. in the People’s Court of Bao Ying District, each alleging breach of contract and that jurisdiction should be in China. We are opposing these claims and are awaiting a ruling by the China Courts.
	There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or of which our respective property is the subject. However, as is typical in our industry and to the nature and kind of business in which we are engaged, from time to time, various claims, charges and litigation are asserted or commenced by third parties against us or by us against third parties arising from or related to product liability, infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights, breach of warranty, contractual relations, or employee relations. The amounts claimed may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claims or the extent of any real risk of court awards assessed against us or in our favor. However, no assurances can be made as to the outcome of any of these matters, nor can we estimate the range of potential losses to us. In our opinion, final judgments, if any, which might be rendered against us in potential or pending litigation would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Moreover, we believe that our products do not infringe any third parties' patents or other intellectual property rights.
	We maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance which insures our individual directors and officers against certain claims, as well as attorney's fees and related expenses incurred in connection with the defense of such claims.
	Defined Benefit Plan
	Our subsidiary in India maintains a defined benefit pension plan ("India Plan") for local employees, which is consistent with local statutes and practices. The pension plan was adequately funded on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 based on its latest actuarial report. The India Plan has an independent external manager that advises us of the appropriate funding contribution requirements to which we comply. At June 30, 2014, approximately 38 percent of our India subsidiary employees had qualified for eligibility. An individual must be employed by our India subsidiary for a minimum of 5 years before becoming eligible. Upon the termination, resignation or retirement of an eligible employee, we are liable to pay the employee an amount equal to 15 days salary for each full year of service completed. The total amount of liability outstanding at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for the India Plan was not material. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the net periodic benefit costs were also not material.

We are exposed to market risks from foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. Our foreign currency exposures are primarily concentrated in the Argentinian Peso, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Euro, Hong Kong Dollar, Indian Rupee, and Singapore Dollar. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. We do not use leveraged derivative financial instruments and these derivatives have not qualified for hedge accounting.
	The gains and losses on the derivatives are recorded in other income (expense), net. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The estimated fair values of our derivative financial instruments represent the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices. We have determined that the fair value of our derivatives are derived from level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The following table sets forth the total net fair value of derivatives:
			30-Jun-14													31-Dec-13

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we had a net pre-tax loss of $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Principles of Consolidation	'
	In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Universal Electronics Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries contain all the adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation. Information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As used herein, the terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Universal Electronics Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates to the contrary.
	Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the "Risk Factors," "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," and the "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and notes thereto included in Items 1A, 7, 7A, and 8, respectively, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Estimates and Assumptions Policy	'
	Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranties, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. Actual results may differ from our expectations. Based on our evaluation, our estimates, judgments and assumptions may be adjusted as more information becomes available. Any adjustment may be material.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Policy	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." This standard requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance became effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which will supersede most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. This new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 contains expanded disclosure requirements relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and permits the use of either the full retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. We have not yet selected a transition method and are evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

	(1)	Effective January 1, 2008, the Chinese Labor Contract Law was enacted in the PRC. This law mandated that PRC employers remit the applicable social insurance payments to their local government. Social insurance is comprised of various components such as pension, medical insurance, job injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and a housing assistance fund, and is administered in a manner similar to social security in the United States. This amount represents our estimate of the amounts due to the PRC government for social insurance on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	(2)	Accrued bonus includes an accrual for an extra month of salary ("13th month salary") to be paid to employees in certain geographies where it is the customary business practice.

[1]	Effective JanuaryB 1, 2008, the Chinese Labor Contract Law was enacted in the PRC. This law mandated that PRC employers remit the applicable social insurance payments to their local government. Social insurance is comprised of various components such as pension, medical insurance, job injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and a housing assistance fund, and is administered in a manner similar to social security in the United States. This amount represents our estimate of the amounts due to the PRC government for social insurance on JuneB 30, 2014 and DecemberB 31, 2013.
[2]	Accrued bonus includes an accrual for an extra month of salary ("13th month salary") to be paid to employees in certain geographies where it is the customary business practice. This 13th month salary is paid to these employees if they remain employed with us through DecemberB 31st. The total accrued for the 13th month salary was $0.5 million and $0.6 million at JuneB 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
