Explanatory Note

Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) to amend the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended November 30, 2013 (the “Original Form 20-F”), as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 18, 2014 (the “Original Filing Date”). This Amendment No. 1 is being filed solely to amend Exhibit 4.64 (the “Exhibit”) originally filed with the Original Form 20-F. The Company had sought confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and 17 C.F.R. Section 200.80(b)(4), for portions of the Exhibit and, following correspondence and conversations with the Staff of the Commission's Division of Corporate Finance, is re-filing the Exhibit to address comments the Company received from the Staff in response to its request for confidential treatment.

The Exhibit filed herewith supersedes in its entirety the Exhibit originally filed with the Original Form 20-F. Except for the revised Exhibit, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend any other information set forth in the Original Form 20-F. This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the Original Filing Date, does not reflect any events that may have occurred subsequent to the Original Filing Date, and does not modify or update in any way any disclosures made in the Original Form 20-F. Additionally, in connection with the filing of this Amendment No. 1, the Company is including new certifications of the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) or Rule 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act. The Company is not including certifications pursuant to Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C.1350) as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment No. 1.
