Anhang

Allgemeine Angaben zum Jahresabschluss

Der Jahresabschluss zum 31.12.2021 der brainbits GmbH, Köln (Amtsgericht Köln, HR B 32293) wurde nach den Vorschriften der §§ 242 ff. HGB unter Beachtung der ergänzenden Bestimmungen für Kapitalgesellschaften (§§ 264 ff. HGB) in der Fassung des BilRUG sowie der Vorschriften des GmbHG aufgestellt.

Bei der Gesellschaft handelt es sich nach den in § 267 HGB angegebenen Größenklassen um eine kleine Kapitalgesellschaft. Bei der Aufstellung wurden daher die größenabhängigen Erleichterungen für kleine Kapitalgesellschaften in Anspruch genommen.

Die Erstellung des Jahresabschlusses erfolgt unter Annahme der Unternehmensfortführung (§ 252 Abs. 1 Nr. 2 HGB).

Vermögensgegenstände und Schulden werden zum Abschlussstichtag grundsätzlich einzeln bewertet.

In Ausübung des Wahlrechts werden nicht in der Bilanz oder Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung gemachte Angaben in den Anhang aufgenommen.

Die Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung wurde unverändert nach dem Gesamtkostenverfahren gegliedert.

Angaben zu Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsmethoden

Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsgrundsätze

Entgeltich erworbene immaterielle Vermögensgegenstände wurden zu Anschaffungskosten angesetzt und, sofern sie der Abnutzung unterlagen, um planmäßige Abschreibungen vermindert bzw. mit dem niedrigeren beizulegenden Wert angesetzt.

Das Sachanlagevermögen wurde zu Anschaffungs- bzw. Herstellungskosten angesetzt und, soweit abnutzbar, um planmäßige Abschreibungen vermindert bzw. mit dem niedrigeren beizulegenden Wert angesetzt. Die planmäßigen Abschreibungen wurden nach der voraussichtlichen Nutzungsdauer der Vermögensgegenstände überwiegend linear vorgenommen.

Forderungen und sonstige Vermögensgegenstände wurden zum Nennwert oder zu dem am Bilanzstichtag beizulegenden Wert angesetzt. Allen erkennbaren Risiken wurde Rechnung getragen.

Guthaben bei Kreditinstituten wurden zum Nennwert angesetzt.

In den aktiven Rechnungsabgrenzungsposten sind Ausgaben aktiviert, die vor dem Abschluss-stichtag geleistet wurden und der nachfolgenden Berichtsperiode als Aufwand zuzurechnen sind.

Die Posten des Eigenkapitals sind zu Nennwerten bewertet.

Gemäß § 272 Abs. 1a HGB wurde der Nennbetrag der erworbenen eigenen Anteile vom Posten "gezeichnetes Kapital" abgesetzt.

Die Steuerrückstellungen betreffen das laufende und das vorangegangene Wirtschaftsjahr.

Die sonstigen Rückstellungen wurden für alle weiteren ungewissen Verbindlichkeiten gebildet. Dabei wurden alle erkennbaren Risiken berücksichtigt. Die Rückstellungen wurden mit ihrem nach kaufmännischer Beurteilung notwendigen Erfüllungsbetrag angesetzt.

Verbindlichkeiten wurden zum Erfüllungsbetrag angesetzt.
Sonstige Angaben
