ASU 2011-08 updated guidance on the periodic testing of goodwill for impairment. This guidance will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances.  We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-08 in the first quarter of 2012.  The adoption of this update does not materially impact our financial statements.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, <font style="font-style: italic; display: inline;">“Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” </font>(“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 amended existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. ASU No. 2011-05 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of 2012.  The adoption of this update does not materially impact our financial statements.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, <font style="font-style: italic; display: inline;">“Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” </font>(“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 generally provides a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2011-04 in the first quarter of 2012.  The adoption of this update does not materially impact our financial statements.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 0pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">There are no other new accounting pronouncements adopted or enacted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our financial statements.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div></div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure of changes in accounting principles, including adoption of new accounting pronouncements, that describes the new methods, amount and effects on financial statement line items.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Regulation S-X (SX) -Number 210 -Section 01 -Paragraph b -Subparagraph 6 -Article 10 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 270 -SubTopic 10 -Section 45 -Paragraph 13 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6372559&loc=d3e765-108305 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 270 -SubTopic 10 -Section 45 -Paragraph 12 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6372559&loc=d3e725-108305 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 250 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=28359718&loc=d3e22499-107794 Reference 5: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 250 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 2 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=28359718&loc=d3e22580-107794 Reference 6: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Glossary Direct Effects of a Change in Accounting Principle -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6510796 Reference 7: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Glossary Indirect Effects of a Change in Accounting Principle -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6515603 Reference 8: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Glossary Accounting Change -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6503790 Reference 9: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Glossary Change in Accounting Principle -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6507316 Reference 10: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 270 -SubTopic 10 -Section S99 -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph (SX 210.10-01.(b)(6)) -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=27015980&loc=d3e46468-122699 Reference 11: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Glossary Retrospective Application -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6523989 Reference 12: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 250 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=28359718&loc=d3e22583-107794 false0THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDSfalseTHE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDSUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://uluruinc.com/role/EffectOfRecentlyIssuedAccountingStandards12
