Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

1)	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by FutureFuel Corp. (“FutureFuel” or “the Company”) in accordance and consistent with the accounting policies stated in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, inclusive of the audited consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with these consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of FutureFuel, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and do include amounts that are based upon management estimates and judgments. Future actual results could differ from such current estimates. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of FutureFuel and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries; namely, FutureFuel Chemical Company; FFC Grain, L.L.C.; FutureFuel Warehouse Company, L.L.C.; and Legacy Regional Transport, L.L.C. The majority of FFC Grain, L.LC.'s assets were disposed of during the current three-month period as the idle subsidiary is being dissolved. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

The Company had no recently adopted accounting standards updates (“ASU”).

Accounting Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted as of September 30, 2024

ASU No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures: The FASB issued this update in November 2023 which aims to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments. These changes will affect the Company’s segment reporting beginning with its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024, and will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The amendments in this ASU require public business entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and are included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. This update does not change how an entity identifies or aggregates its reportable segments or how it applies the quantitative thresholds to determine them. Management believes the adoption of this ASU will have a minimal impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

ASU No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: The FASB issued this update in December 2023 which aims to address requests for improved income tax disclosures from investors that use the financial statements to make capital allocation decisions. The amendments in this ASU address the investor requests for more transparency of income tax information and apply to all entities that are subject to income taxes. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024, but early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard effective for the year ended December 31, 2025, and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: The FASB issued this update in November 2024 which aims to provide investors with more useful information about an entity’s expenses by improving disclosures on income statement expenses. The amendments in this ASU require all public business entities to disclose disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating this accounting standard and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
