 FUTUREFUEL CORP. ANNOUNCES THE APPOINTMENT OF RUBINBROWN LLP AS THE COMPANY'S
                   NEW INDEPENDENT PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FIRM


St. Louis, MO - February 20, 2008 - FutureFuel Corp. (AIM: FFU) announced today
that the company has selected RubinBrown LLP ("RubinBrown") as its principal
independent accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The
selection of RubinBrown was made by the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors and became effective on February 13, 2008. RubinBrown replaces the
company's previous principal accounting firm, KPMG LLP ("KPMG").

As reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 20, 2008, the Audit Committee directed
management to engage in a competitive request for proposal process in December
of 2006 for independent auditing services for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Upon the completion of this process, the Audit Committee selected RubinBrown as
FutureFuel's new independent principal accountants. The Audit Committee believes
that the selection of RubinBrown will not only result in the selection of an
independent accounting firm that possesses the appropriate skill set for the
company's audit work but also a reduction in the expense associated with this
work.

Based in St. Louis, Missouri, RubinBrown is a certified public accounting firm
that is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a private
sector, non-profit corporation, created by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to
oversee the auditors of public companies in order to protect the interests of
investors and further the public interest in the preparation of informative,
fair, and independent audit reports. Additionally, RubinBrown is an independent
member of Baker Tilly International, an association of 138 independent regional
accounting and business consulting firms with affiliates in 104 countries and a
leading service provider to AIM. The Chairman of RubinBrown is currently the
Chairman of Baker Tilly International.

There were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure during
the periods that they provided auditing services to FutureFuel. KPMG will
continue to provide services to the company in the transition process and in the
future as mutually agreed. The management of FutureFuel thanks KPMG for their
efforts in providing the professional services that they have rendered.
