Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as a business company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of this offering and the private placement of the private placement units, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial business combination, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.

The Merger Agreement amended and restated the Original Merger Agreement to effect a change in structure of the Business Combination without affecting any underlying economic interests, whereby (a) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity (the "First SPAC Merger") and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BTG, (b) immediately following the First SPAC Merger, we will merge with and into Merger Sub 2 with Merger Sub 2 being the surviving entity (the "Second SPAC Merger", and together with the First SPAC Merger, the "Initial Mergers"), and (c) following the Initial Mergers, Merger Sub 3 will merge with and into Bitdeer (the "Acquisition Merger" and together with the Initial Mergers, the "Mergers"), with Bitdeer being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of BTG. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company, BTG, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Merger Sub 3, Merger Sub and Bitdeer.

The Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (Business Combination) are expected to be consummated after obtaining the required approval by the shareholders of the Company, BTG, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Merger Sub 3, Merger Sub, and Bitdeer and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions. For more information, see the Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 15, 2021.

On May 30, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Amendment", and the Original Merger Agreement as amended by such Amendment, the "Amended Merger Agreement") with BTG, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Merger Sub 3, Merger Sub and Bitdeer, to amend the Original Merger Agreement. The Amendment extends the termination date upon which either we or Bitdeer may terminate the Amended Merger Agreement, from May 31, 2022 to September 1, 2022.

In addition, pursuant to the Amendment, Bitdeer will provide certain interest-free loans with an aggregate principal amount of US$1,993,000 to us to fund any amount that may be required in order to extend the period of time available for us to consummate a business combination and for our working capital. Such loans will only become repayable upon the Acquisition Closing. As of June 30, the Company received $1,226,000 under such loan.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2022 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, and, following our initial public offering, identifying a target business with which to engage in a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $785,849, which consists of operation costs amounting to $864,613, partially offset by the interest income earned on Trust and operating accounts amounting to $78,764.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $2,862,839, which consists of operation costs amounting to $2,947,451, partially offset by the interest income earned on Trust and operating accounts amounting to $84,612.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $95,585, which mainly was formation and operation costs.

For the period from February 23, 2021 (inception) to June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $103,595, which mainly was formation and operation costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 9, 2021, Blue Safari Group Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") consummated the IPO of 5,000,000 units (the "Units"). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share ("Ordinary Share") and one right ("Right") to receive one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. We granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, which the underwriters exercised in full simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. The total aggregate issuance by us of 5,750,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in a total gross proceeds of $57,500,000.

As of June 9, 2021, a total of $58,075,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (as defined below) were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company's public shareholders. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement ("Private Placement") with BSG First Euro Investment Corp., the Company's sponsor, of 292,500 units (the "Private Units") at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,925,000. The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO. Additionally, such initial purchasers agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until 30 days after the completion of the Company's initial business combination. Such initial purchasers were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Units. The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.

Following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units, a total of $58,075,000 was placed in the Trust Account, and the Company had $884,500 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. The Company incurred $4,158,799 in transaction costs, including $1,150,000 of underwriting fees, $2,012,500 of deferred underwriting fees, the fair value of the representative shares of $478,857, and $517,442 of other offering costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was $718,049 of cash used in operating activities. Net loss of $2,862,839 was offset by changes in current assets and liabilities of $2,229,402 and interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account amounting to $84,612.

For the Period from February 23, 2021 (Inception) to June 30, 2021, there was $445,562 of cash used in operating activities. Net loss of $103,595 was affected by changes in current assets and liabilities of $349,136 used in cash, offset by formation costs paid by the Company's sponsor of $7,169.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $346,368 of cash on hand and working capital deficit of $4,056,717.

The Company expect to incur increased expenses since becoming a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses in connection with the initial business combination.

On June 1, 2022, using the loan amount received to date, the Company deposited into the Company's trust account an additional $575,000 (representing $0.10 per Class A ordinary share) to extend the combination period from June 14, 2022 to September 14, 2022. It is uncertain that the Company will be able consummate a business combination by this date. If a business combination is not consummated by the required dates, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern", management has determined that mandatory liquidation, and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a business combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after September 14, 2022 (or December 14, 2022 if extended).

Based upon the above analysis, management determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non- financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on June 14, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the business combination and our liquidation.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $2,012,500. The deferred fee will be payable in cash to the underwriters solely in the event that we complete a business combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Pursuant to the Amendment, Bitdeer will provide certain interest-free loans with an aggregate principal amount of US$1,993,000 to us to fund any amount that may be required in order to extend the period of time available for us to consummate a business combination and for our working capital. Such loans will only become repayable upon the Acquisition Closing. As of June 30, we received $1,226,000 under such loan.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
