(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On June 13, 2022, the board of directors of Statera Biopharma, Inc. (the "Company") approved the engagement of BF Borgers CPA, PC ("BF Borgers") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective as of June 13, 2022. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and from January 1, 2022 through June 13, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted BF Borgers regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that BF Borgers concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable event as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Item 304(a)(1)(v) except as follows:

The Company consulted with BF Borgers regarding the matters raised by the Company's former auditor Turner, Stone & Company, LLP's ("Turner Stone") in its April 11, 2022 letter to the Company wherein Turner Stone indicated its determination to resign as the Company's auditor (the "Resignation Letter").

BF Borgers consulted with Turner Stone regarding the matters raised in the Resignation Letter and is of the view that the circumstances giving rise to Turner Stone's resignation can be adequately addressed by the Company.

The Company has provided a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K to BF Borgers, as successor to Turner Stone, and asked that BF Borgers furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304(a)(2)(ii)(D) of Regulation S-K.
