EXPLANATORY NOTES
 

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 2, 2003, and was amended by those statements on Schedule 13D/A filed with the Commission on January 28, 2004, February 17, 2004, March 21, 2005 and June 1, 2005 (collectively, the “Statement”), with respect to the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Miller Industries, Inc. (the “Issuer”).
 
This Amendment No. 5 is being filed to report the following:
 
 
1.
The entry of an Order for a property settlement between the Reporting Person and his wife pursuant to which shares of common stock of the Issuer will be transferred to his wife on November 30, 2006; and
 
 
2.
The sale, pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan, of 109,288 shares of common stock of the Issuer by the Miller Family Foundation, Inc., a Georgia nonprofit corporation of which the Reporting Person is the sole director.
 
This Amendment No. 5 amends the Statement as specifically set forth herein. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each capitalized term used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Statement.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
(a) and (b) Please see Items 7 through 11 and 13 of the cover sheet for the Reporting Person.
 
(c) In May 2006, the Miller Family Foundation, Inc., a Georgia nonprofit corporation of which the Reporting Person is the sole director, entered into a 10b5-1 trading plan with a financial institution pursuant to which all of the Foundation’s 109,288 shares of common stock of the Issuer would be sold at the best possible price, but in no event less than $20.00 per share. On August 16 and 17, 2006, the financial institution sold all of these shares at the minimum price of $20.00 per share. Although the Reporting Person had no control over the sale of such shares as a result of the Foundation having entered into the 10b5-1 trading plan, such shares were deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Person pursuant to Rule 13(d)-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission because of the Reporting Person’s service as a director of the Foundation.
 
The number shares of common stock of the Issuer reflected as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person in this Amendment No. 5 no longer includes 2,800 shares held by the Reporting Person’s son, who has reached the age of majority and no longer shares the Reporting Person’s household.
 
(d) Not applicable.
 
(e) Not applicable.
 
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
 
On October 31, 2006, the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, issued an Order for a property settlement between the Reporting Person and his wife pursuant to which shares of common stock of the Issuer with a value equal to $3,000,000 will be transferred to his wife on November 30, 2006. The exact number of shares to be transferred will be based on the closing market price of the Issuer’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on that day.
 
In May 2006, the Miller Family Foundation, Inc., a Georgia nonprofit corporation of which the Reporting Person is the sole director, entered into a 10b5-1 trading plan with respect to all of the Foundation’s 109,288 shares of common stock of the Issuer. The trading plan is described in further detail under Item 5(c) of this Amendment No. 5.
