| INCOME TAXES | 10. INCOME TAXES As described in Note 1, during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company changed its accounting policy for transferable Section 48 investment tax credits ITCs and Section 45Z clean fuel production tax credits 45Z credits. Previously, these credits were recognized within income tax benefit or deferred income taxes under the flow-through method. The Company now accounts for these credits as government grants by analogy to ASU 2025-10. Under this policy, ITCs are recognized over the useful lives of the related qualifying assets as a reduction of depreciation expense, while 45Z credits are recognized in the periods in which the related qualifying production occurs and associated costs are incurred. The change in accounting policy was applied retrospectively, and prior-period amounts have been adjusted accordingly. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
