Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events [Text Block] | 14) Subsequent event On July 29, 2013, FutureFuel received notice from its customer for the intermediate anode powder that the customer will terminate the contract in accordance with its terms effective August 9, 2014. FutureFuel does not expect additional material to be produced or sold in 2013 or 2014 under that agreement. Termination of this sales contract also may affect the terms of the grant received by FutureFuel from the U.S. Department of Energy related to construction of the equipment utilized to produce the intermediate anode powder. While FutureFuel is unable to predict or estimate the impact of this notice from its customer at this time, FutureFuel does not presently believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its overall financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
