CONDENSED NOTES TO QUARTERLY REPORT — UNAUDITED
NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes of Friedman Industries, Incorporated (the “Company”) included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020 .
NOTE B — NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 establishes a new lease accounting standard that requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and related lease liability for most leases having lease terms of more than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to prior guidance for operating leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new standard. In July 2018, the FASB also issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, to give entities another option for transition and to provide practical expedients to reduce the cost and complexity of implementing the new standard. ASU 2016-02 and all subsequently issued amendments, collectively "ASC 842," is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
The Company adopted ASC 842 on April 1, 2019 using the optional transition method under which the new standard is applied only to the most current period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the new standard to existing lease agreements is recognized at the date of initial application. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recording of initial right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $63,000. The Company elected the package of transition practical expedients related to lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company made the following accounting policy elections: (1) the Company will not separate lease and non-lease components by class of underlying asset and (2) the Company will apply the short-term lease exemption by class of underlying asset. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations or cash flows and did not result in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. See Note E – Leases for additional information.
In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 is intended to simplify and clarify the accounting and disclosure requirements for hedging activities by more closely aligning the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with the underlying risk management activities. We adopted ASU 2017-12 on June 18, 2020 when we entered into our first derivative financial instruments. See Note H – Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires, among other things, the use of a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable. The CECL model requires estimation of lifetime expected credit loss with respect to receivables and recognition of allowances that, when deducted from the balance of the receivables, represent the net amounts expected to be collected. Subsequently, in November 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326), which clarifies that impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. ASU 2016-13 called for an effective date for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. In November 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019-10”). ASU 2019-10 defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, private companies, not-for-profit organizations and employee benefit plans to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt ASU 2016-13. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies accounting for income taxes by revising or clarifying existing guidance in ASC 740, as well as removing certain exceptions within ASC 740. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE C — INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of prime coil, non-standard coil and tubular materials. Prime coil inventory consists primarily of raw materials, non-standard coil inventory consists primarily of raw materials and tubular inventory consists of both raw materials and finished goods. Cost for prime coil inventory is determined using the average cost method. Cost for non-standard coil inventory is determined using the specific identification method. Cost for tubular inventory is determined using the average cost method. All inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

NOTE D – DEBT
In April 2020, the Company received a $1,690,385 loan (the “PPP Loan”) from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), under the Paycheck Protection Program, which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), as modified by the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “PPP Flexibility Act”). The term of the PPP Loan is two years from the funding date of the PPP Loan. The interest rate on the PPP Loan is 0.98%. Under the terms of the PPP Loan, interest accrues from the funding date of the PPP Loan but payment of both principal and interest is deferred for six months. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the Company can apply for and may be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan, if and to the extent that the Company satisfies certain requirements. Such forgiveness is subject to use of the PPP Loan proceeds for qualifying purposes and is also subject to maintenance or achievement of certain employee and compensation levels. While the Company plans to apply for forgiveness of the PPP Loan in accordance with the requirements and limitations under the CARES Act, the PPP Flexibility Act and the Small Business Administration regulations and requirements, no assurance can be given that all or any portion of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. Payments of principal and interest on the loan have been granted further deferment to provide ample time to file the loan forgiveness application.
NOTE E — LEASES
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) on April 1, 2019 using the optional transition method under which the new standard is applied only to the most current period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the new standard to existing lease agreements is recognized at the date of initial application. Under this adoption method, reporting periods beginning after April 1, 2019 are presented under the new standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recording of initial ROU asset and lease liabilities of approximately $63,000 at April 1, 2019.
The Company’s lease of its office space in Longview, Texas is the only operating lease included in the ROU asset and lease liability. The lease calls for monthly rent payments of $4,878 and expires on April 30, 2021. The Company’s other operating leases for items such as IT equipment and storage space are either short-term in nature or immaterial.
In October 2019, the Company received a new heavy-duty forklift under a 5-year finance lease arrangement with a financed amount of $518,616 and a monthly payment of $9,074.
The components of expense related to leases for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 are as follows:

NOTE F — PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
The Company continued the previously announced capital expenditure project at our Decatur, Alabama facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. This project involves the purchase and installation of a stretcher leveler coil processing line. This newly acquired equipment replaces the prior processing equipment at the Decatur plant and will expand both the size range and grade of material that the Decatur plant is able to process. The equipment was purchased from and is being constructed, fabricated and installed by Delta Steel Technologies. The Company currently expects the installation of the new equipment to begin in December 2020 and expects commercial use of the equipment to begin in February 2021. The Company currently estimates the cost of this project to be $7,200,000. This estimated cost is greater than our previously disclosed cost of $5,800,000 due to additional components that have been added to the project to improve the efficiency and output of the equipment.
As of September 30, 2020 , expenditures related to the Decatur project totaled $5,427,263 with this amount reported as Construction in Process on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
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 to whom awards will be granted and shall determine the amount and applicable restrictions of each award. Forfeitures are accounted for upon their occurrence.

Of the 281,000 unvested shares at September 30, 2020 , 160,000 shares have five year cliff vesting restrictions with vesting occurring on January 4, 2022, 20,000 shares have five year cliff vesting restrictions with vesting occurring on April 1, 2024, 20,000 shares have two year cliff vesting restrictions with vesting occurring on March 13, 2021, 11,000 shares have one year cliff vesting restrictions with vesting occurring on April 1, 2021 and 70,000 shares will vest in equal amounts each year for five years commencing on April 1, 2020. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period applicable to each award. The Company recorded compensation expense of $221,627 and $166,472 in the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, relating to the stock awards issued under the Plan. As of September 30, 2020 , unrecognized compensation expense related to stock awards was approximately $688,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.9 years. Subsequent to September 30, 2020 , restricted stock awards of 78,625 shares were granted with a grant date fair value of $5.80 per share. These shares have a range of vesting restrictions from one to four years.
NOTE H — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In June 2020, the Company implemented its first commodity price risk management activities by transacting hot-rolled coil futures. From time to time, we expect to use derivative financial instruments to minimize our exposure to commodity price risk that is inherent in our business. At the time derivative contracts are entered into, we will assess whether the nature of the instrument qualifies for hedge accounting treatment according to the requirements of ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). By using derivatives, the Company is exposed to credit and market risk. The Company’s exposure to credit risk includes the counterparty’s failure to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of the derivative contract. The Company minimizes its credit risk by entering into transactions with high quality counterparties. Market risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in commodity prices. The Company manages market risk by continually monitoring exposure within its risk management strategy and portfolio. For those transactions designated as hedging instruments, we document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the various hedge transactions. We also assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or fair value of hedged items.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020 , the Company recognized gains from hedging instruments of $4,000. The Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 included the $4,000 gain within costs of goods sold for the hedging activity. As of September 30, 2020 the Company did not have any open future positions. We reported a margin requirement of $118,125 that is included in “Other current assets” on the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2020 .
NOTE I — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards provide a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. Levels within the hierarchy are defined as follows:
●
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
●
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
●
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
At September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 , the Company did not have any financial instruments that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.
9
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
At March 31, 2020 , our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were categorized as follows:

NOTE K — REVENUE
Revenue is generated primarily from contracts to manufacture or process steel products. Most of the Company’s revenue is generated by sales of material out of the Company’s inventory, but a portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from processing of customer owned material. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, control of our products is transferred, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time, when title transfers to our customer for product shipped or when services are provided. Revenues are recorded net of any sales incentives. Shipping and other transportation costs charged to customers are treated as fulfillment activities and are recorded in both revenue and cost of sales at the time control is transferred to the customer. Costs related to obtaining sales contracts are incidental and expensed when incurred. Because customers are invoiced at the time title transfers and the Company’s rights to consideration are unconditional at that time, the Company does not maintain contract asset balances. Additionally, the Company does not maintain contract liability balances, as performance obligations are satisfied prior to customer payment for product. The Company offers industry standard payment terms.
The Company has two reportable segments: Coil and Tubular. Coil primarily generates revenue from temper passing and cutting to length hot-rolled steel coils. Coil segment revenue consists of three main product types: Prime Coil, Non-Standard Coil and Customer Owned Coil. Tubular primarily generates revenue from the manufacture, distribution and processing of steel pipe. Tubular segment revenue consists of three main product or service types: Manufactured Pipe, Mill Reject Pipe and Pipe Finishing Services. The Company did not generate any revenue from pipe finishing services during any of the three month or six month periods ended September 30, 2020 or September 30, 2019. The pipe finishing facility is currently idled due to market conditions. The following table disaggregates our revenue by product for each of our reportable business segments for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 , respectively:
