PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

General

Miller Industries is the world’s largest manufacturer of vehicle towing and recovery equipment, with executive offices in Ooltewah, Tennessee, domestic manufacturing operations in Tennessee and Pennsylvania, and foreign manufacturing operations in France and the United Kingdom.

Since 1990, we have developed or acquired several of the most well-recognized brands in the towing and recovery equipment manufacturing industry. Our strategy has been to diversify our line of products and increase our presence in the industry by combining internal growth and development with acquisitions of complementary products.

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the words “Miller Industries,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Miller Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries or any of them.

Towing and Recovery Equipment

We offer a broad range of towing and recovery equipment products that meet most customer design, capacity and cost requirements. We manufacture the bodies of wreckers and car carriers, which are installed on truck chassis manufactured by third parties. We frequently purchase the truck chassis for resale to our customers. Wreckers generally are used to recover and tow disabled vehicles and other equipment and range in type from the conventional tow truck to large recovery vehicles with rotating hydraulic booms and 75-ton lifting capacities. Car carriers are specialized flat bed vehicles with hydraulic tilt mechanisms that enable a towing operator to drive or winch a vehicle onto the bed for transport. Car carriers transport new or disabled vehicles and other equipment and are particularly effective over longer distances. We also manufacture a line of transport trailers.

Our products primarily are sold through independent distributors that serve all 50 states, Canada and Mexico, and other foreign markets including Europe, the Pacific Rim, the Middle East, South America and Africa, and through prime contractors to governmental entities. Additionally, as a result of our ownership of Jige in France and Boniface in the United Kingdom, we have substantial distribution capabilities in Europe. While most of our distributor agreements do not contain exclusivity provisions, management believes that approximately 65% of our independent distributors sell our products on an exclusive basis. In addition to selling our products to towing operators, our independent distributors provide parts and service. We also utilize sales representatives to exclusively market our products and provide expertise and sales assistance to our independent distributors. Management believes the strength of our distribution network and the breadth of our product offerings are two key advantages over our competitors.

Product Lines

We manufacture a broad line of wrecker, car carrier and trailer bodies to meet a full range of customer design, capacity and cost requirements.

Wreckers. Wreckers are generally used to recover and tow disabled vehicles and other equipment and range in type from the conventional tow truck to large recovery vehicles with 75-ton lifting capacities. Wreckers are available with specialized features, including underlifts, L-arms and scoops, which lift disabled vehicles by the tires or front axle to minimize front end damage to the towed vehicles. Certain heavy duty wrecker models offer rotating booms, which allow heavy duty wreckers to recover vehicles from any angle, and remote control devices for operating wreckers. In addition, certain light duty wreckers are equipped with automatic wheellift hookup devices that allow operators to engage a disabled or unattended vehicle without leaving the cab of the wrecker.

Our wreckers range in capacity from 8 to 75 tons, and are classified as either light duty or heavy duty, with wreckers of 16-ton or greater capacity being classified as heavy duty. Light duty wreckers are used to remove vehicles from accident scenes and vehicles illegally parked, abandoned or disabled, and for general recovery. Heavy duty wreckers are used in towing and recovery applications including overturned tractor trailers, buses, motor homes and other large vehicles.

Car Carriers. Car carriers are specialized flat-bed vehicles with hydraulic tilt mechanisms that enable a towing operator to drive or winch a vehicle onto the bed for transport. Car carriers are used to transport new or disabled vehicles and other equipment and are particularly effective for transporting vehicles or other equipment over longer distances. In addition to transporting vehicles, car carriers may also be used for other purposes, including transportation of industrial equipment. Many professional towing operators have added car carriers to their fleets to complement their towing capabilities.

Transport Trailers. Our multi-vehicle transport trailers are specialized auto transport trailers with upper and lower decks and hydraulic ramps for loading vehicles. These trailers are used for moving multiple vehicles for auto auctions, car dealerships, leasing companies and other similar applications. These trailers are easy to load, transport 6 to 7 vehicles and, with the optional cab rack, can haul up to 8 vehicles. The vehicles can be secured to transport quickly with ratchet and chain tie-downs that are mounted throughout the frame of the transport. Many professional towing operators have added auto transport trailers to their fleets to add to their towing capabilities. Also, we design, engineer and manufacture special-use transport and trailer products to be used primarily in military applications.

Brand Names

We manufacture and market our wreckers, car carriers and trailers under ten separate brand names. Although certain brands overlap in terms of features, prices and distributors, each brand has its own distinctive image and customer base.

Century®. The Century brand is our “top-of-the-line” brand and represents what management believes to be the broadest product line in the industry. The Century line was started in 1974 and produces wreckers ranging from 8-ton light duty to 75-ton heavy duty models, and car carriers in lengths from 20 to 30 feet. Management believes that the Century brand has a reputation as the industry’s leading product innovator.

Vulcan®. Our Vulcan product line includes a range of premium light duty and heavy duty wreckers, ranging from 8-ton light duty to 50-ton heavy duty models, and car carriers. The Vulcan line is sold through its own independent distribution network.

Challenger®. Our Challenger products compete with the Century and Vulcan products and constitute a third premium product line. Challenger products consist of heavy duty wreckers with capacities ranging from 8 to 75 tons. The Challenger line was started in 1975 and is known for high performance heavy duty wreckers and aesthetic design.

Holmes®. Our Holmes product line includes mid-priced wreckers with 8 to 16 ton capacities, a 16-ton rotator and a detachable towing unit (DTU). The Holmes wrecker was first produced in 1916. Historically, the Holmes name has been the most well-recognized and leading industry brand both domestically and internationally.

Champion®. The Champion brand, which was introduced in 1991, includes car carriers which range in length from 19 to 21 feet. The Champion product line, which is generally lower-priced, allows us to offer a full line of car carriers at various competitive price points.

Chevron™. Our Chevron product line is comprised primarily of premium car carriers. Chevron produces a range of premium single-car, multi-car and industrial carriers, as well as wreckers ranging from 8-ton to 16-ton models. The Chevron line is operated autonomously with its own independent distribution network.

Eagle®. Our Eagle products consist of light duty wreckers with the “Eagle Claw” hook-up system that allows towing operators to engage a disabled or unattended vehicle without leaving the cab of the tow truck. The “Eagle Claw” hook-up system was originally developed for the repossession market. Since acquiring Eagle, we have upgraded the quality and features of the Eagle product line and expanded its recovery capability.

Titan®. Our Titan product line is comprised of premium multi-vehicle transport trailers which can transport up to 8 vehicles depending on configuration.

Jige™. Our Jige product line is comprised of a broad line of premium light duty and heavy duty wreckers and car carriers marketed primarily in Europe. Jige is a market leader best known for its innovative designs of car carriers and light duty wreckers necessary to operate within the narrow confines of European cities, as well as heavy duty wreckers.

Boniface™. Our Boniface product line is comprised primarily of premium heavy duty wreckers marketed primarily in Europe. Boniface produces heavy duty wreckers specializing in the long underlift technology required to tow modern European tour buses.

Product Development and Manufacturing

Our Holmes and Century brand names are associated with four of the major innovations in the industry: the rapid reverse winch; the tow sling; the hydraulic lifting mechanism; and the underlift with parallel linkage and L-arms. Our engineering staff, in consultation with manufacturing personnel, uses computer-aided design and stress analysis systems to test new product designs and to integrate various product improvements. In addition to offering product innovations, we focus on developing or licensing new technology for our products.

We manufacture wreckers, car carriers and trailers at seven manufacturing facilities located in the United States, France and the United Kingdom. The manufacturing process for our products consists primarily of cutting and bending sheet steel or aluminum into parts that are welded together to form the wrecker, car carrier body or trailer. In addition, during the past several years, we have also begun to produce wrecker bodies using composites and other non-metallic materials. After the frame is formed, components such as hydraulic cylinders, winches, valves and pumps, which are purchased by us from third-party suppliers, are attached to the frame to form the completed wrecker or car carrier body. The completed body is either installed by us, or shipped by common carrier to a distributor where it is then installed, on a truck chassis. Generally, the wrecker or car carrier bodies are painted by us with a primer coat only, so that towing operators can select customized colors to coordinate with chassis colors or fleet colors. To the extent final painting is required before delivery, we generally contract with independent paint shops for such services.

We purchase raw materials and component parts from a number of sources. Although we have no long-term supply contracts, management believes we have good relationships with our primary suppliers. In recent years prices have fluctuated significantly, but we have experienced no significant problems in obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials and component parts to meet the requirements of our production schedules. Management believes that the materials used in the production of our products are available at competitive prices from an adequate number of alternative suppliers. Accordingly, management does not believe that the loss of a single supplier would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Sales, Distribution and Marketing

Management categorizes the towing and recovery market into three general product types: light duty wreckers; heavy duty wreckers; and car carriers. The light duty wrecker market consists primarily of professional wrecker operators, repossession towing services, local and national governmental entities and repair shop or salvage company owners. The heavy duty market includes professional wrecker operators serving the needs of commercial vehicle operators as well as governmental entities. The car carrier market, historically dominated by automobile salvage companies, has expanded to include equipment rental companies that offer delivery service and professional towing operators who desire to complement their existing towing capabilities. Management estimates that there are approximately 30,000 professional towing operators and 80,000 service station, repair shop and salvage operators comprising the overall towing and recovery market.

We have developed a diverse network of independent distributors, consisting of approximately 120 distributors in North America, who serve all 50 states, Canada and Mexico, and approximately 50 distributors that serve other foreign markets. In 2009, no single distributor accounted for more than 10% of our sales. Management believes our broad and diverse network of distributors provides us with the flexibility to adapt to market changes, lessens our dependence on particular distributors and reduces the impact of regional economic factors.

Our sales force services our network of independent distributors and consists of sales representatives whose responsibilities include providing administrative and sales support to the entire base of independent distributors. Sales representatives receive commissions on direct sales based on product type and brand and generally are assigned specific territories in which to promote sales of our products and to maintain customer relationships.

In addition to providing services to our network of independent distributors, our sales force sells our products to various governmental entities, including the U.S. federal government and foreign governments, through prime contractors. In 2009, 19.4% of our consolidated net sales were made to the U.S. federal government through prime contractors.

To support sales and marketing efforts, we produce demonstrator models that are used by our sales representatives and independent distributors. To increase exposure to our products, we also serve as the official recovery team for many automobile racing events, including NASCAR races at Daytona, Talladega, Richmond, Chicago, Kansas, California, Michigan, Darlington and the Rolex Daytona 24 Hour Race, among others.

We routinely respond to requests for proposals or bid invitations in consultation with our local distributors. Our products have been selected by the United States General Services Administration as an approved source for certain federal and defense agencies. We intend to continue to pursue government contracting opportunities.

The towing and recovery equipment industry places heavy marketing emphasis on product exhibitions at national, regional and international trade shows. In order to focus our marketing efforts and to control marketing costs, we concentrate our efforts on the major trade shows each year, and we work with our network of independent distributors to concentrate on various regional shows.

Product Warranties and Insurance

We generally offer a 12-month limited manufacturer’s product and service warranty on our wrecker and car carrier products. Our warranty generally provides for repair or replacement of failed parts or components. Warranty service is usually performed by us or an authorized distributor. Management believes that we maintain adequate general liability and product liability insurance.

Backlog

We produce virtually all of our products to order. Our backlog is based upon customer purchase orders that we believe are firm. The level of backlog at any particular time, however, is not an appropriate indicator of our future operating performance. Certain purchase orders are subject to cancellation by the customer upon notification. Given our production and delivery schedules management believes that the current backlog represents less than three months of production except for follow-on governmental orders which we expect production to continue until the second half of 2010.

Competition

The towing and recovery equipment manufacturing industry is highly competitive for sales to distributors and towing operators. Management believes that competition in this industry focuses on product quality and innovation, reputation, technology, customer service, product availability and price. We compete on the basis of each of these criteria, with an emphasis on product quality and innovation and customer service. Management also believes that a manufacturer’s relationship with distributors is a key component of success in the industry. Accordingly, we have invested substantial resources and management time in building and maintaining strong relationships with distributors. Management also believes that our products are regarded as high quality within their particular price points. Our marketing strategy is to continue to compete primarily on the basis of quality and reputation rather than solely on the basis of price, and to continue to target the growing group of professional towing operators who as end-users recognize the quality of our products.

Traditionally, the capital requirements for entry into the towing and recovery manufacturing industry have been relatively low. Management believes a manufacturer’s capital resources and access to technological improvements have become a more integral component of success in recent years. Certain of our competitors may have greater financial and other resources and may provide more attractive dealer and retail customer financing alternatives than we do.

Employees

We employed approximately 680 people as of December 31, 2009. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, though our employees in France and the United Kingdom have certain similar rights provided by their respective government’s employment regulations. We consider our employee relations to be good.

Intellectual Property Rights

Our development of the underlift parallel linkage and L-arms is considered one of the most innovative developments in the wrecker industry. This technology is significant primarily because it allows the damage-free towing of newer aerodynamic vehicles made of lighter weight materials. This technology, particularly the L-arms, is used in a majority of commercial wreckers today. We hold a number of utility and design patents covering other of our products, including the Vulcan “scoop” wheel-retainer and the car carrier anti-tilt device. We have also obtained the rights to use and develop certain technologies owned or patented by others. Management believes that, until the patents on our technology expire, utilization of our patented technology without a license is an infringement of such patents. We have successfully litigated infringement lawsuits in which the validity of our patents on our technology was upheld, and successfully settled other lawsuits. Pursuant to the terms of a consent judgment entered into in 2000 with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, we are required to offer non-exclusive royalty-bearing licenses to certain of our key patents to all tow truck and car carrier manufacturers.

Our trademarks “Century,” “Holmes,” “Champion,” “Challenger,” “Formula I,” “Pro Star,” “Street Runner,” “Vulcan,” “Right Approach” and “Extreme Angle,” among others, are registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Management believes that our trademarks are well-recognized by dealers, distributors and end-users in their respective markets and are associated with a high level of quality and value.

Government Regulations and Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment. Management believes that we are in substantial compliance with all applicable federal, state and local provisions relating to the protection of the environment. The costs of complying with environmental protection laws and regulations has not had a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations in the past and is not expected to have a material adverse impact in the future.

We are also subject to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act which regulates the description of warranties on products. The description and substance of our warranties are also subject to a variety of federal and state laws and regulations applicable to the manufacturing of vehicle components. Management believes that continued compliance with various government regulations will not materially affect our operations.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

There are many factors that affect our business and the results of our operations, some of which are beyond our control. The following is a description of some of the important factors that may cause the actual results of our operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired. We encourage you to read this section carefully.

Our business is subject to the cyclical nature of our industry and changes in consumer confidence and in economic conditions in general. Adverse changes or continued uncertainty with respect to these factors may lead to a downturn in our business.

The towing and recovery industry is cyclical in nature and historically the industry has been affected by changes in consumer confidence and in economic conditions in general. The current global recession and continued volatility and disruption in domestic and international capital and credit markets have caused significant erosion in consumer confidence. As a result, the overall demand for our products has been materially and negatively affected, and the level of future sales of our products is uncertain. A prolonged economic downturn, and slow or negative growth in the domestic and global economy, may continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations for the foreseeable future.

Our demand from our customers and towing operators is affected by the availability of capital and access to credit.

The ability of our customers and of towing operators to purchase our products is affected by the availability of capital and credit to them. Our customers rely on floor plan financing in connection with the purchase of our products, and the availability of that financing on acceptable terms has a direct effect on the volume of their purchases. Additionally, in many cases, a towing operator’s decision to purchase our products from one of our distributors is dependent upon their ability to obtain financing upon acceptable terms. Volatility and disruption in the capital and credit markets, principally in the U.S. and Europe, has decreased the availability of capital to, and credit capacity of, our customers and of towing operators. In addition, at least one provider of floor plan financing has exited the market, making floor plan financing increasingly difficult for our customers to secure. This reduced availability of capital and credit has negatively affected the ability and capacity of our customers and of towing operators to purchase towing and related equipment. This, in turn, has negatively impacted sales of our products. If customers are unable to access capital or credit, it could materially and adversely affect our ability to sell our products, and as a result, could negatively affect our business and operating results.

Our dependence upon outside suppliers for our raw materials, including aluminum, steel, petroleum-related products and other purchased component parts, leaves us subject to changes in price and delays in receiving supplies of such materials or parts.

We are dependent upon outside suppliers for our raw material needs and other purchased component parts, and although we believe that these suppliers will continue to meet our requirements and specifications, and that alternative sources of supply are available, events beyond our control could have an adverse effect on the cost or availability of raw materials and component parts. Shipment delays, unexpected price increases or changes in payment terms from our suppliers of raw materials or component parts could impact our ability to secure necessary raw materials or component parts, or to secure such materials and parts at favorable prices. To partially offset price increases for raw materials and component parts, we have, from time to time, implemented general price increases and cost surcharges. While we have attempted to pass these increased costs on to our customers, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so. Additionally, demand for our products could be negatively affected by the unavailability of truck chassis, which are manufactured by third parties and are frequently supplied by us, or are purchased separately by our distributors or by towing operators. Although we believe that sources of our raw materials and component parts will continue to be adequate to meet our requirements and that alternative sources are available, shortages, price increases or delays in shipments of our raw materials and component parts could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, competitive position and reputation.

Overall demand from our customers may be affected by increases in their fuel and insurance costs and changes in weather conditions.

In recent years, our customers have experienced substantial increases in fuel and other transportation costs, and in the cost of insurance, and while many of these costs moderated in 2009, there can be no assurance that these costs will not continue to be volatile, or again increase, for our customers in the future. Additionally, our customers also have, from time to time, been subject to unpredictable and varying weather conditions which could, among other things, impact the cost and availability of fuel and other materials. Any of these factors could negatively affect the ability of our customers to purchase, and their capacity for purchasing, towing and related equipment, and, consequently, have a material negative effect upon our business and operating results.

Our international operations are subject to various political, economic and other uncertainties that could adversely affect our business results, including by restrictive taxation or other government regulation and by foreign currency fluctuation.

A significant portion of our net sales and production in 2009 were outside the United States, primarily in Europe. As a result, our operations are subject to various political, economic and other uncertainties, including risks of restrictive taxation policies, changing political conditions and governmental regulations. Also, a substantial portion of our net sales derived outside the United States, as well as salaries of employees located outside the United States and certain other expenses, are denominated in foreign currencies, including the British pound and the Euro. We are, therefore, subject to risk of financial loss resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates of these currencies against the U.S. dollar.

Our competitors could impede our ability to attract or retain customers.

The towing and recovery equipment manufacturing industry is highly competitive. Competition for sales exists domestically and internationally at the manufacturer, distributor and towing-operator levels and is based primarily on product quality and innovation, reputation, technology, customer service, product availability and price. Competition for sales also comes from the market for used towing and recovery equipment. Certain of our competitors may have substantially greater financial and other resources and may provide more attractive dealer and retail customer financing alternatives than us. If these competitors are able to make it more difficult for us to attract or retain customers, it could have a negative impact on our sales, revenue and financial performance.

The loss of, or a significant reduction in sales to, our largest customer could adversely affect our results of operations.

For 2009, 19.4% of our consolidated net sales were made to the U.S. federal government through prime contractors. Prior to 2009, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales in any fiscal year. The loss of our U.S. government work, in whole or in part, or the failure to secure follow-on orders from the U.S. government could adversely affect our results of operations. Our U.S. government business is subject to the following risks, among others: (i) this business is susceptible to changes in U.S. government spending, which may reduce future revenues; (ii) most of our contracts with governmental entities are fixed-price contracts, and our actual costs on any of these contracts could exceed our projected costs, (iii) competition for the award of these contracts is intense, and we may not be successful in bidding on future contracts, and (iv) the products we sell to governmental entities are subject to highly technical requirements, and any failure to comply with these requirements could result in unanticipated retrofit costs, delayed acceptance of products, late or reduced payment or cancellation of the contract.

Our future success depends upon our ability to develop or acquire proprietary products and technology.

Historically, we have been able to develop or acquire patented and other proprietary product innovations which have allowed us to produce what management believes to be technologically advanced products relative to most of our competition. However, certain of our patents have expired, and others will expire in the next few years, and as a result, we may not have a continuing competitive advantage through proprietary products and technology. In addition, pursuant to the terms of a consent judgment entered into in 2000 with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, we are required to offer non-exclusive royalty-bearing licenses to certain of our key patents to all wrecker and car carrier manufacturers. If we are unable to develop or acquire new products and technology in the future, our ability to maintain market share, and, consequently, our revenues and operating results, may be negatively affected.

The requirements and restrictions imposed by our senior credit facility restrict our ability to operate our business, and failure to comply with these requirements and restrictions could adversely affect our business.

The terms of our senior credit facility restrict our ability and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments or investments in certain situations, consummate certain asset sales, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, incur liens, or merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our or their assets. Our senior credit facility also requires us to meet certain financial tests, and to comply with certain other reporting, affirmative and negative covenants.

If we fail to comply with the requirements of our senior credit facility, such non-compliance would result in an event of default. If not waived by the lending group, such event of default would result in the acceleration of the amount due under the senior credit facility, and may permit our lenders to foreclose on our assets that secure the senior credit facility.

The revolver under our senior credit facility is scheduled to expire on June 17, 2010, and the term loan under such facility is scheduled to mature on June 15, 2010. We are currently in negotiations regarding a revolving credit facility and expect to have such a revolving facility in place prior to the expiration of the current revolver, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all.

Our ability to service our credit arrangements may be affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

Interest on our obligations outstanding under our senior credit facility and other credit arrangements is connected to the LIBOR rate or prime rate. Therefore, an increase in the LIBOR rate or the prime rate would increase interest expense and could have an effect on our ability to satisfy our obligations under those arrangements outstanding at any particular time. Our liquidity and access to capital resources could be affected by increasing interest rates.

We depend upon skilled labor to manufacture our products, and if we experience problems hiring and retaining skilled labor, our business may be negatively affected.

The timely manufacture and delivery of our products requires an adequate supply of skilled labor, and the operating costs of our manufacturing facilities can be adversely affected by high turnover in skilled positions. Accordingly, our ability to increase sales, productivity and net earnings will be limited to a degree by our ability to employ the skilled laborers necessary to meet our requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain an adequate skilled labor force necessary to efficiently operate our facilities. In addition, while our employees are not currently members of a union, there can be no assurance that the employees at any of our facilities will not choose to become unionized in the future.

We are subject to certain retained liabilities related to the wind down of our towing services operations.

We sold or closed all remaining towing services businesses during 2003. As a result, almost all of our former towing services businesses now operate under new ownership, and in general the customary operating liabilities of these businesses were assumed by the new owners. Our subsidiaries that sold these businesses may be subject to some continuing liabilities with respect to their pre-sale operations, including, for example, liabilities related to litigation. Miller Industries, Inc. may be subject to some of such continuing liabilities by virtue of certain direct contractual parent guarantees.

In October 2005, our subsidiary, RoadOne, Inc., filed for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of Tennessee and a trustee was appointed. In December 2006, the trustee’s final report was approved by the United States trustee, and the final decree was entered on June 19, 2007.

Any loss of the services of our key executives could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

Our success is highly dependent on the continued services of our management team. The loss of services of one or more key members of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on us.

A product liability claim in excess of our insurance coverage, or an inability to acquire or maintain insurance at commercially reasonable rates, could have a material adverse effect upon our business.

We are subject to various claims, including product liability claims arising in the ordinary course of business, and may at times be a party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business. We maintain reserves and liability insurance coverage at levels based upon commercial norms and our historical claims experience. A successful product liability or other claim brought against us in excess of our insurance coverage, or the inability of us to acquire or maintain insurance at commercially reasonable rates, could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our stock price may fluctuate greatly as a result of the general volatility of the stock market.

From time to time, there may be significant volatility in the market price for our common stock. Our quarterly operating results, changes in earnings estimated by analysts, if any, changes in general conditions in our industry or the economy or the financial markets or other developments affecting us could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.

Our Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer and his children own, in total, a substantial interest in our common stock. They may vote their shares in ways with which you disagree.

William G. Miller, our chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns approximately 4.12% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Mr. Miller’s adult children, Christopher Charles Miller, Sarah Louise Miller and William G. Miller, II, beneficially own, in total, approximately 7.74% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Any of these shareholders could vote their shares in ways with which you do not agree, including in connection with the election of directors or the approval of a business combination involving the Company. Mr. Miller does not exercise any voting, investment or other authority with respect to, and has no pecuniary interest in, the shares of our common stock that are held by his children, and he expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.

Our charter and bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that may make it more difficult or expensive to acquire us in the future or may negatively affect our stock price.

Our charter and bylaws contain restrictions that may discourage other persons from attempting to acquire control of us, including, without limitation, prohibitions on shareholder action by written consent and advance notice requirements regarding amendments to certain provisions of our charter and bylaws. In addition, our charter authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The rights and preferences for any series of preferred stock may be set by the board of directors, in its sole discretion and without shareholder approval, and the rights and preferences of any such preferred stock may be superior to those of common stock and thus may adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock.

PROPERTIES

We operate four manufacturing facilities in the United States. The facilities are located in Ooltewah, Tennessee; Hermitage, Pennsylvania; Mercer, Pennsylvania; and Greeneville, Tennessee. The Ooltewah plant, containing approximately 302,000 square feet, produces light and heavy duty wreckers and trailers; the Hermitage plant, containing approximately 118,000 square feet, produces car carriers; the Mercer plant, containing approximately 110,000 square feet, produces car carriers and light duty wreckers; and the Greeneville plant, containing approximately 112,000 square feet, produces car carriers, heavy duty wreckers and trailers.

We also have manufacturing operations at two facilities located in the Lorraine region of France, which have, in the aggregate, approximately 180,000 square feet, and manufacturing operations in Norfolk, England, with approximately 48,000 square feet.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of our business. Litigation is subject to various inherent uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could be resolved unfavorably to us, which could result in substantial damages against us. We have established accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintain product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in excess of available insurance coverage and accruals will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The approximate number of holders of record and beneficial owners of common stock as of December 31, 2009 was 552 and 3,000, respectively.

Prior to March 2010, we had never declared cash dividends on our common stock. On March 8, 2010, our board of directors adopted a dividend policy to consider and pay annual cash dividends subject to our ability to satisfy all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements and our continued financial strength, and declared the first such annual cash dividend of $0.10 per share payable to shareholders of record as of March 18, 2010. Any future determination as to the payment of cash dividends will depend upon such factors as earnings, capital requirements, our financial condition, restrictions in financing agreements and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Covenants under our senior credit facility restrict the payment of cash dividends if a default or event of default under our credit agreement has occurred or would result from the payment of dividends or if we would be in violation of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio test in our credit agreement as a result of the payment of dividends, among various other restrictions.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

There were no share repurchases during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

We did not sell any unregistered securities during the year ended December 31, 2009.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

Executive Overview

Miller Industries, Inc. is the world’s largest manufacturer of vehicle towing and recovery equipment, with domestic manufacturing subsidiaries in Tennessee and Pennsylvania, and foreign manufacturing subsidiaries in France and the United Kingdom. We offer a broad range of equipment to meet our customers’ design, capacity and cost requirements under our Century®, Vulcan®, Challenger®, Holmes®, Champion®, Chevron™, Eagle®, Titan®, Jige™ and Boniface™ brand names.

Our management focuses on a variety of key indicators to monitor our overall operating and financial performance. These indicators include measurements of revenue, operating income, gross margin, income from continuing operations, earnings per share, capital expenditures and cash flow.

We derive revenues primarily from product sales made through our network of domestic and foreign independent distributors. Our revenues are sensitive to a variety of factors including general economic conditions as well as demand for, and price of, our products, our technological competitiveness, our reputation for providing quality products and reliable service, competition within our industry and the cost of raw materials (including aluminum, steel and petroleum-related products).

Our industry is cyclical in nature and over the course of 2009 the overall demand for our products and our resulting revenues continued to be negatively affected by:

●	wavering levels of consumer confidence;

●	volatility and disruption in domestic and international capital and credit markets and the resulting decrease in the availability of financing, including floor plan financing, for our customers and towing operators;

●	significant periodic increases in fuel and insurance costs and their negative effect on the ability of our customers to purchase towing and related equipment; and

●	the overall effects of the global economic downturn.

We remain concerned about the continuing effects of these factors on the towing and recovery industry, and with the cooperation of our employees have taken specific steps to reduce our production levels and lower costs in response to these uncertainties. These steps included reductions in production hours through reduced work weeks and furloughs at all facilities and headcount reductions for certain non-production personnel. In addition, we have reduced certain administrative expenses. We will continue to monitor our cost structure to ensure that it remains in line with business conditions.

In addition, we have been and will continue to be affected by changes in the prices that we pay for raw materials, particularly aluminum, steel, petroleum-related products and other raw materials, which represent a substantial part of our total cost of operations. Aluminum and steel prices were at historically high levels for the first three quarters of 2008, but moderated during the fourth quarter of 2008 and continuing throughout 2009. In the past, as we have determined necessary, we have implemented price increases to offset these higher costs. We also developed alternatives to some of the components used in our production process that incorporate these raw materials, and our suppliers have implemented these alternatives in the production of our component parts. We continue to monitor raw material prices and availability in order to more favorably position the Company in this dynamic market.

During the second half of 2008, we began to secure follow-on governmental orders through prime contractors for which we now expect production to continue into the second half of 2010. Through these follow-on governmental orders, along with continued performance in the governmental and international marketplace, we were able to somewhat offset significantly lower demand from our commercial customers during the second half of 2008 and throughout 2009. We continue to work to fulfill these orders, and to secure additional export and governmental orders, but we cannot predict the success or timing of any such orders. In 2009, 19.4% of our consolidated net sales were made to the U.S. federal government through prime contractors.

In June 2009, we repaid the remaining balance outstanding under the term loan portion of our senior credit facility with Wachovia and there were no borrowings under the revolver portion of such facility at December 31, 2009. Having no debt outstanding under these facilities represents a significant decrease in our overall indebtedness from prior periods.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require us to make estimates. Certain accounting policies are deemed “critical,” as they require management’s highest degree of judgment, estimates and assumptions. A discussion of critical accounting policies, the judgments and uncertainties affecting their application and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions follows:

Accounts receivable

We extend credit to customers in the normal course of business. Collections from customers are continuously monitored and an allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained based on historical experience and any specific customer collection issues. While such bad debt expenses have historically been within expectations and the allowance established, there can be no assurance that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in the past.

Inventory

Inventory costs include materials, labor and factory overhead. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value), determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, valuation and other factors in determining net realizable value. Revisions of these estimates could result in the need for adjustments.

Valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill

Long-lived assets and goodwill are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. When a determination has been made that the carrying amount of long-lived assets and goodwill may not be fully recovered, the amount of impairment is measured by comparing an asset’s estimated fair value to its carrying value. The determination of fair value is based on projected future cash flows discounted at a rate determined by management, or if available independent appraisals or sales price negotiations. The estimation of fair value includes significant judgment regarding assumptions of revenue, operating costs, interest rates, property and equipment additions, and industry competition and general economic and business conditions among other factors. We believe that these estimates are reasonable, however, changes in any of these factors could affect these evaluations. Based on these estimations, we believe that our long-lived assets are appropriately valued.

Warranty reserves

We estimate expense for product warranty claims at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. We review trends of warranty claims and take actions to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. We believe the warranty reserve is adequate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the accrual.

Income taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Differences between the effective tax rate and the expected tax rate are due to changes in deferred tax assets. We consider the need to record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We consider tax loss carryforwards, reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning and estimates of future taxable income in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. If unrecognized tax positions exist, we record interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Revenues

Under our accounting policies, revenues are recorded when the risk of ownership for products has transferred to independent distributors or other customers, which generally occurs on shipment. From time to time, revenue is recognized under a bill and hold arrangement. Recognition of revenue on bill and hold arrangements occurs when risk of ownership has passed to the customer, a fixed written commitment has been provided by the customer, the goods are complete and ready for shipment, the goods are segregated from inventory, no performance obligation remains, and a schedule for delivery has been established. While we manufacture only the bodies of wreckers, which are installed on truck chassis manufactured by third parties, we frequently purchase the truck chassis for resale to our customers. Sales of company-purchased truck chassis are included in net sales. Margins are substantially lower on completed recovery vehicles containing company-purchased chassis because the markup over the cost of the chassis is nominal.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for our foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, historical rates for equity and the weighted average exchange rate during the period for revenue and expense accounts. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in shareholders’ equity. Intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income and expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, the components of the consolidated statements of income expressed as a percentage of net sales.

	2009			2008			2007
Net Sales		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%
Costs and expenses:
Costs of operations		85.1	%		87.6	%		86.0	%
Selling, general and administrative		10.5	%		9.6	%		6.9	%
Interest expense		0.4	%		0.5	%		0.9	%
Other (Income) Expense		(0.2	)%		0.2	%		(0.1	)%
Total costs and expenses		95.8	%		97.9	%		93.7	%
Income before income taxes		4.2	%		2.1	%		6.3	%

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008

Net sales were $237.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $271.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of 12.3%. This decrease is attributable to decreased demand due to the factors discussed under Executive Overview above.

Costs of operations decreased 14.8% to $202.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $237.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, which was attributable to lower overall production levels, including labor hours worked, in connection with the economic downturn described above. Overall, costs of operations decreased from 87.6% for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 85.1% for the year ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to product mix as well as lower costs for raw material, including aluminum, steel and other petroleum-related products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased to $24.9 million from $25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease is attributable to cost reduction efforts as well as the impact of lower sales volume. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 10.5% for 2009 from 9.6% for 2008 due to the fixed nature of many of these expenses being spread over a lower sales base.

Interest expense decreased to $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Decreases in interest expense were primarily due to lower debt levels, decreases in interest on chassis purchases together with interest on distributor floor plan financing.

Other income and expense relates to foreign currency transaction gains and losses. During 2009, the net gain was $0.4 million compared to a net loss of $0.7 million for 2008. The change relates to the weakening of the US dollar against most major currencies.

The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 reflects a combined federal, state and foreign tax rate of 39.4% and 37.8%, respectively.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007

Net sales were $271.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $400.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of 32.3%. This decrease is attributable to lower production levels in response to decreased demand due to deteriorating economic conditions and limited customer access to capital and credit, as well as the absence during the first half of 2008 of significant follow-on orders under certain governmental and military orders through prime contractors that were completed in 2007.

Costs of operations decreased to $237.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $343.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, which was attributable to lower overall production levels in 2008 compared to 2007 as described above. As a percentage of sales, costs of operations increased from 86.0% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 87.6% for the year ended December 31, 2008 because of product mix as well as volatility of raw material costs, including aluminum, steel and other petroleum-related products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased to $25.9 million from $27.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 because of reductions made in our cost structure. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.6% for 2008 from 6.9% for 2007 due to the fixed nature of many of these expenses.

Interest expense decreased to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Decreases in interest expense were primarily due to decreases in interest on chassis purchases together with interest on distributor floor plan financing as well as declining interest rates in 2008.

Other income and expense relates to foreign currency transaction gains and losses. During 2008, the net loss was $0.7 million compared to a net gain of $0.3 million for 2007. The change relates to the strengthening of the US dollar against most major currencies, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 reflects a combined federal, state and foreign tax rate of 37.8% and 36.3%, respectively.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities was $19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, and $28.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The cash provided by operating activities for 2009 reflects decreases in accounts receivable and inventory due to lower sales volume offset by decreases in accounts payable.

Cash used in investing activities was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, and $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The cash used in investing activities for 2009 was primarily for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Cash used in financing activities was $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, and $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The cash used in financing activities in 2009 was used to repay the term loan under our senior credit facility, mortgage notes payable, and other outstanding long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

Over the past year, we generally have used available cash flow from operations to reduce the outstanding balance on our credit facility, to pay down other long-term debt obligations, and to pay for capital expenditures.

As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $36.2 million, exclusive of unused availability under our senior credit facility. Our primary cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, the funding of any declared cash dividends and interest and principal payments on indebtedness, if any, under our senior credit facility. We expect our primary sources of cash to be cash flow from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2009, with borrowings under our senior credit facility being available if needed. We expect these sources to be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs during 2010 and for the next several years. However, our ability to satisfy our cash needs will substantially depend upon a number of factors including our future operating performance, taking into account the economic and other factors discussed above and elsewhere in this Annual Report, as well as financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Contractual Obligations

The following is a summary of our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2009.

	Payment Due By Period (in thousands)
Contractual Obligations(1)	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Equipment Notes Payable (Capital Lease Obligations)	$	241	$	185	$	56	$	–	$	–

Total	$	19,590	$	18,726	$	637	$	166	$	61

(1)	Amounts do not include potential contingent obligations of $11.3 million under repurchase commitments with third-party lenders in the event of customer default.

(2)	Purchase obligations represent open purchase orders for raw materials and other components issued in the normal course of business.

Credit Facilities and Other Obligations

Senior Credit Facility

We are party to a Credit Agreement with Wachovia Bank National Association for a $27.0 million senior secured credit facility. The senior credit facility, as amended, consists of a $20.0 million revolving credit facility, and a $7.0 million term loan. The senior credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets, and contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants for secured facilities of this type. Covenants under the senior credit facility restrict the payment of cash dividends if a default or event of default under the Credit Agreement has occurred or would result from the payment of dividends or if the Company would be in violation of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio test in the Credit Agreement as a result of the payment of dividends, among various other restrictions.

In the absence of default, all borrowings under the revolver and term loan bear interest at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus a margin of between 0.75% to 1.50% per annum that is subject to adjustment from time to time based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The revolver is scheduled to expire on June 17, 2010, and the term loan is scheduled to mature on June 15, 2010.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. In June 2009, we repaid the remaining outstanding balance under the term loan.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Changes in interest rates affect the interest paid on indebtedness under our senior credit facility because the outstanding amounts of indebtedness under our senior credit facility are subject to variable interest rates. Under our senior credit facility, the non-default rate of interest is equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus a margin of between 0.75% to 1.50% per annum (for a rate of interest of 0.98% at December 31, 2009). Because there were no amounts outstanding under our senior credit facility, a one percent change in the interest rate on our variable-rate debt would not have materially impacted our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Outstanding Borrowings

Outstanding borrowings under the senior credit facility as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows (in thousands):

	2009		2008
Revolving Credit Facility	$	–	$	–
Term Loan		–		2,100
Total Outstanding Borrowings	$	–	$	2,100

Other Long-Term Obligations

We had approximately $0.2 million of equipment notes payable and other long-term obligations at December 31, 2009. In February 2009, approximately $1.7 million of mortgage notes payable was repaid and the related obligation was terminated. We also had approximately $1.4 million in non-cancellable operating lease obligations at December 31, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Standards

In December 2007, the FASB issue d authoritative guidance under Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 805. which requires the acquisition method of accounting to be applied for all business combinations. The guidance establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The impact of the Company’s adoption of the guidance under ASC 805 as of January 1, 2009 was not material; but will impact any future business combinations of the Company.

In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance under ASC 810 requiring all entities to report minority interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements, and requiring that transactions between entities and noncontrolling interests be treated as equity. The adoption of the guidance under ASC 810 as of January 1, 2009 did not have an effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted authoritative guidance under ASC 820. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements and the effect on earnings. The impact of the Company’s adoption of the provisions of ASC 820 related to certain “nonfinancial” assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2009 was not material.

In March 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance under ASC 815 which requires expanded disclosure requirements about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC 815 did not have an effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance under ASC 350 and ASC 275 that amends the factors considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. This guidance also enhances disclosures related to renewal and extension assumptions. The guidance is to be applied prospectively for any intangible assets acquired after December 31, 2008. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance under ASC 855. This guidance incorporates into authoritative accounting literature certain guidance that already existed within generally accepted auditing standards, with the requirements concerning recognition and disclosure of subsequent events remaining essentially unchanged. This guidance addresses events which occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements. Under ASC 855, as under previous practice, an entity must record the effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date and must disclose but not record the effects of subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of our business, we are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our results of operations and financial position.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the interest paid on indebtedness under our senior credit facility because the outstanding amounts of indebtedness under our senior credit facility are subject to variable interest rates. Under our credit facility, the non-default rate of interest is equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus a margin of between 0.75% to 1.50% per annum (for a rate of interest of 0.98% at December 31, 2009). Because there were no amounts outstanding under our senior credit facility, a one percent change in the interest rate on our variable-rate debt would not have materially impacted our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are subject to risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our international operations in Europe. We manage our exposure to our foreign currency exchange rate risk through our regular operating and financing activities, and not through the use of any financial or derivative instruments, forward contracts or hedging activities. Because we report in U.S. dollars on a consolidated basis, foreign currency exchange fluctuations could have a translation impact on our financial position. At December 31, 2009, we recognized $2.9 million increase in our foreign currency translation adjustment account compared with December 31, 2008 because of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies. During the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on our results of operations and cash flows was a gain of approximately $0.4 million and loss of approximately $0.7 million, respectively.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive and chief financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Miller Industries, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may be inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework.” Based on our assessment under those criteria, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

Joseph Decosimo and Company, PLLC, the independent registered public accounting firm who audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this report, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Miller Industries, Inc.

Ooltewah, Tennessee

We have audited Miller Industries, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Miller Industries, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Miller Industries, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the COSO criteria.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Miller Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, and our report dated March 10, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Miller Industries, Inc.

Ooltewah, Tennessee

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Miller Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Miller Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 10, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

MILLER INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Miller Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) is the world’s largest manufacturer of vehicle towing and recovery equipment. The principal markets for the Company’s towing and recovery equipment are approximately 120 independent distributors and the users of towing and recovery equipment located primarily throughout North America, and other customers throughout the world. The Company’s products are marketed under the brand names of Century®, Challenger®, Holmes®, Champion®, Eagle®, Titan®, JigeTM, BonifaceTM, Vulcan®, and ChevronTM. Unless otherwise specifically stated, all disclosures in the following notes relate only to the Company’s continuing operations.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Miller Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Cash and Temporary Investments

Cash and temporary investments include all cash and cash equivalent investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and temporary investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying values of long-term obligations are reasonable estimates of their fair values based on the rates available for obligations with similar terms and maturities.

F-7

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment, which include amounts recorded under capital leases, are recorded at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Accelerated depreciation methods are used for income tax reporting purposes. Estimated useful lives range from 20 to 30 years for buildings and improvements and 5 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, and software costs. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Internal labor is used in certain capital projects.

Property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2009 and 2008 consisted of the following (in thousands):

	2009			2008

Land and improvements	$	4,796		$	4,739
Buildings and improvements		29,994			29,591
Machinery and equipment		22,983			22,424
Furniture and fixtures		7,196			6,766
Software costs		7,118			6,935
		72,087			70,455
Less accumulated depreciation		(39,884	)		(35,698	)
	$	32,203		$	34,757

The Company recognized $3,475,000, $3,440,000 and $3,134,000, in depreciation expense in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In 2008, $75,000 of interest costs were capitalized for construction period interest.

The Company capitalizes costs related to software development in accordance with established criteria, and amortizes those costs to expense on a straight-line basis over five years. System development costs not meeting proper criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred.

Basic and Diluted Income Per Common Share

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share takes into consideration the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options resulting in approximately 291,000, 29,000 and 99,000 potential dilutive common shares in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Options to purchase approximately 6,000 and 76,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during 2008 and 2007, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For 2009, none of the outstanding stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets and goodwill to determine if those assets may be recoverable based upon the future operating cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. Management believes that its long-lived assets are appropriately valued.

Patents, Trademarks and Other Purchased Product Rights

The cost of acquired patents, trademarks and other purchased product rights is capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over various periods not exceeding 20 years. Total accumulated amortization of these assets was $1,547,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, all intangible assets subject to amortization were fully amortized. As acquisitions and dispositions of intangible assets occur in the future, the amortization amounts may vary.

F-8

Deferred Financing Costs

All deferred financing costs are included in other assets and are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective obligations. Total accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $364,000 and $397,000, respectively. Amortization expense in 2009, 2008 and 2007, was $39,000, $76,000 and $123,000, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Based on the current amount of deferred financing costs subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense in future years is not significant.

Accrued Liabilities and Other

Accrued liabilities and other consisted of the following at December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

	2009		2008

Accrued wages, commissions, bonuses and benefits	$	4,497	$	3,975
Accrued products warranty		1,995		878
Accrued income taxes		1,202		1,197
Other		3,807		5,283
	$	11,501	$	11,333

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes as deferred income tax assets and liabilities the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company considers the need to record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Tax loss carryforwards, reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning and estimates of future taxable income are considered in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. If unrecognized tax positions exist, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions are recorded as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock compensation expense was $399,000 for 2009, $143,000 for 2008 and $308,000 for 2007. The stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants in 2004: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 43%; risk-free interest rate of 2.94%; and expected life of 5.5 years. Using these assumptions, the fair value of options granted in 2004 is approximately $1,242,000, which was amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the options. No options were granted during 2009 or 2007. The fair value of options granted in 2008 has been estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 44%; risk-free interest rate of 1.71%; and expected life of four years. Using these assumptions, the fair value of options granted in 2008 was $1,596,000, which is being amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had $1,130,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, with $399,000 to be expensed in 2010, and 2011 and the remainder of $332,000 to be expensed in 2012. The Company issued approximately 19,000 and 200 shares of common stock during 2009 and 2008, respectively, from the exercise of stock options.

F-9

Product Warranty

The Company generally provides a one-year limited product and service warranty on certain of its products. The Company provides for the estimated cost of this warranty at the time of sale. Warranty expense in 2009, 2008 and 2007, was $2,295,000, $1,995,000 and $1,881,000, respectively.

The table below provides a summary of the warranty liability for December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

	2009			2008

Accrual at beginning of the year	$	878		$	864
Provision		2,295			1,995
Settlement and Other		(1,178	)		(1,981	)
Accrual at end of year	$	1,995		$	878

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash investments with high-quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. The Company’s trade receivables are primarily from independent distributors of towing and recovery equipment. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses. Collections from customers are continuously monitored and an allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained based on historical experience and any specific customer collection issues. The Company maintains security agreements on substantially all of its trade receivables.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recorded by the Company when the risk of ownership for products has transferred to the independent distributors or other customers, which is generally upon shipment. From time to time, revenue is recognized under a bill and hold arrangement. Recognition of revenue on bill and hold arrangements occurs when risk of ownership has passed to the customer, a fixed written commitment has been provided by the customer, the goods are complete and ready for shipment, the goods are segregated from inventory, no performance obligation remains, and a schedule for delivery has been established.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Cost

The Company records revenues earned for shipping and handling as revenue, while the cost of shipping and handling is classified as cost of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, historical rates for equity and the weighted average exchange rate during the period for revenue and expense accounts. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from such translations are included in shareholders’ equity. Intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense).

F-10

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance under Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 805. which requires the acquisition method of accounting to be applied for all business combinations. The guidance establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The impact of the Company’s adoption of the guidance under ASC 805 as of January 1, 2009 was not material; but will impact any future business combinations of the Company.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation, with no impact on previously reported shareholders’ equity or net income.

F-11

3.	LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

Long-Term Obligations

Long-term obligations consisted of the following at December 31, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

	2009			2008

Outstanding borrowings under Senior Credit Facility	$	–		$	2,100
Mortgage notes payable		–			1,665
Equipment notes and capital leases payable, weighted average interest rate of 6.2%, payable in monthly installments, maturing 2010 to 2011		241			501
		241			4,266
Less current portion		(185	)		(1,849	)
	$	56		$	2,417

Certain equipment and manufacturing facilities are pledged as collateral under the mortgage and equipment notes payable.

In February 2009, approximately $1.7 million mortgage notes payable was repaid and the related obligation was terminated.

Credit Facilities

Senior Credit Facility. The Company is a party to a Credit Agreement (the “Senior Credit Agreement”) with Wachovia Bank, National Association, for a $27.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Senior Credit Facility, as amended, consists of a $20.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), and a $7.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Senior Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, and contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants for secured facilities of this type. Covenants under the Senior Credit Facility restrict the payment of cash dividends if a default or event of default under the Senior Credit Agreement has occurred or would result from the payment of dividends, or if the Company would be in violation of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio test in the Senior Credit Agreement as a result of the payment of dividends, among various other restrictions.

In the absence of a default, all borrowings under the Revolver and Term Loan bear interest at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus a margin of between 0.75% to 1.50% per annum that is subject to adjustment from time to time based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement). The Revolver is scheduled to expire on June 17, 2010, and the Term Loan is scheduled to mature on June 15, 2010. The Company is currently in negotiations regarding a revolving credit facility and expect to have such a revolving facility in place prior to the expiration of the Revolver, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. In June 2009, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance under the Term Loan.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. Changes in interest rates affect the interest paid on indebtedness under our credit facility because the outstanding amounts of indebtedness under our credit facility are subject to variable interest rates. Under our credit facility, the non-default rate of interest is equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus a margin of between 0.75% to 1.50% per annum (for a rate of interest of 0.98% at December 31, 2009). A one percent change in the interest rate on our variable-rate debt would not have materially impacted our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Future maturities of long-term obligations (including capital lease obligations) at December 31, 2009 are as follows (in thousands):

4.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Termination of Junior Credit Facility

William G. Miller was the sole lender under the Company’s former junior credit facility (the “Junior Credit Facility”). The Company paid Mr. Miller approximately $228,000 in interest expense on the Junior Credit Facility for 2007. In May 2007, the Company repaid the remaining $5.0 million of subordinated debt under the Junior Credit Facility. With such payment, all loans from Mr. Miller to the Company were paid in full. This payment was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and by the full Board of Directors with Mr. Miller abstaining due to his personal interest in the transaction. In July 2007, the Junior Credit Facility was terminated.

5.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

In accordance with the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the Company may grant incentive stock options as well as non-qualified and other stock-related incentives to officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company. Options vest ratably over a two to four-year period beginning on the grant date and expire ten years from the date of grant. Shares available for granting options at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were approximately 0.6 million, 0.6 million and 1.2 million, respectively.

The Company has also entered into arrangements with third-party lenders where it has agreed, in the event of a default by the customer, to repurchase from the third-party lender Company products repossessed from the customer. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. The Company’s risk under these arrangements is mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction. The maximum amount of collateral the Company could be required to purchase was approximately $11.3 million and $21.7 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No repurchases of products were required during 2009 or 2008.

Contingencies

The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of its business. Litigation is subject to various inherent uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could be resolved unfavorably to the Company, which could result in substantial damages against the Company. The Company has established accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintains product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in excess of available insurance coverage and accruals will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

7. INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities using the currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
