Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Organization, Ownership and Business American International Holdings Corp. (“AMIH”) is a 93.2% owned subsidiary of American International Industries, Inc. (“American”, “AMIN”) (OTCBB: AMIN). |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash Equivalents Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value of Financial Instruments FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. FASB ASC 825 defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying value of certain financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses.) approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments or interest rates, which are comparable with current rates. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Net Loss Per Common Share We compute net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Management’s Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements There are no recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, that, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. |
