Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Text Block] | NOTE G — STOCK BASED COMPENSATION The Company maintains the Friedman Industries, Incorporated 2016 Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and continues indefinitely until terminated by the Board or until all shares allowed by the Plan have been awarded and earned. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock eligible for award under the Plan is 500,000 shares. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select the employees, directors or consultants to whom awards will be granted and shall determine the amount and applicable restrictions of each award. Restricted awards entitle recipients to vote and receive non-forfeitable dividends during the restriction period. Because dividends are non-forfeitable, they are reflected in retained earnings. Forfeitures are accounted for upon their occurrence. Because the Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur, the non-forfeitable dividends are reclassified from retained earnings to additional stock compensation for the actual forfeitures that occurred. The following table summarizes the activity related to restricted stock units ("RSUs") for the nine months ended December 31, 2022:
|  |  |  |  |  | Weighted Average |
|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |
Unvested at March 31, 2022 |  |  | 139,523 |  |  | $ | 5.96 |
Cancelled or forfeited |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Granted |  |  | 7,700 |  |  |  | 9.10 |
Vested |  |  | (46,857 | ) |  |  | 7.65 |
Unvested at December 31, 2022 |  |  | 100,366 |  |  | $ | 5.41 |
The Company measures compensation expense for RSUs at the market price of the common stock as of the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period applicable to each award. The Company recorded compensation expense of $224,481 and $375,935 in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, relating to the RSUs issued under the Plan. As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was approximately $391,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years. As of December 31, 2022, a total of 122,485 shares were still available to be issued under the Plan.
