               This constitutes Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment”) to the statement on Schedule 13D, filed on behalf of Lloyd I. Miller, III (“Mr. Miller”), dated April 3, 2006, as amended (the “Statement”), relating to the common stock, par value $0.03 per share (the “Shares”) of Pharmos Corporation (the “Company”). The Company has its principal executive offices at 99 Wood Avenue South, Suite 311, Iselin, New Jersey 08830. Unless specifically amended or modified hereby, the disclosure set forth in the Statement shall remain unchanged.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
          Mr. Miller is an advisor to the trustee of Trust A-4. Trust A-4 was created pursuant to a Declaratory Judgment, signed by the Honorable Wayne F. Wilke for the Court of Common Pleas, Probate Division, Hamilton County, Ohio, on October 27, 1992, pursuant to which Trust A was split into four separate trusts. Trust A was created pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement, dated September 20, 1983 (the “Trust Agreement”). Mr. Miller was named as the advisor to PNC Bank, Ohio, N.A., the trustee named in the Trust Agreement. All of the Shares Mr. Miller is deemed to beneficially own as the advisor to the trustee of Trust A-4 were purchased by funds generated and held by Trust A-4. The amount of funds used for the purchase of the Shares in Trust A-4 was $841,004.56.
          Mr. Miller is the manager of Milfam LLC, an Ohio limited liability company established pursuant to the Operating Agreement of Milfam LLC, dated as of December 10, 1996. Milfam LLC is the general partner of Milfam II L.P., a Georgia limited partnership established pursuant to the Partnership Agreement for Milfam II L.P., dated December 11, 1996. All of the Shares Mr. Miller is deemed to beneficially own as the manager of the general partner of Milfam II L.P. were purchased with money contributed to Milfam II L.P. by its partners, or money generated and held by Milfam II L.P. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares in Milfam II L.P. was $3,323,448.12.
          All of the Shares purchased by Mr. Miller on his own behalf, were purchased with personal funds generated and held by Mr. Miller. The purchase price for the Shares purchased by Mr. Miller on his own behalf was $24,500.00. The Convertible Debenture (as defined below) was purchased with personal funds generated and held by Mr. Miller. The purchase price for the Convertible Debenture purchased by Mr. Miller on his own behalf was $1,000,000.00.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
          As previously reported on Amendment No. 4 to the Statement, dated November 8, 2006, Mr. Miller was elected to the Company’s board of directors on October 25, 2006. Mr. Miller is still currently a director of the Company’s board. Mr. Miller is filing this Amendment to report that on January 3, 2008, Mr. Miller entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), dated as of even date therewith, with the Company and certain other investors set forth therein. In connection with the SPA, the Company issued to Mr. Miller a 10% Convertible Debenture due November 2012 in the outstanding principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Convertible

Debenture”). In connection with the SPA and the Convertible Debenture, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors party to the SPA.
          The Convertible Debenture matures on the earlier of November 1, 2012 or the sale of the Company. In addition, the Convertible Debenture, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, may be repaid, without premium or penalty, commencing on November 1, 2011. Starting on November 1, 2009 (or earlier upon the sale of the Company), the Convertible Debenture may be converted at the option of Mr. Miller into Shares, at a fixed conversion price equal to $0.70 per share. The Convertible Debenture bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually either in cash or common stock of the Company at the option of the Company. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company will, subject to the terms thereof, register the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture and the Shares issuable, at the Company’s option, in lieu of cash interest payments on the Convertible Debenture.
          In connection with the transaction referenced above, the Company also amended a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Amendment”) to exclude the acquisition of securities by the purchasers pursuant to the SPA and the Convertible Debenture from triggering a distribution of rights dividends to holders of Shares under the Rights Agreement. Additionally, Mr. Miller entered into a separate backstop letter agreement with the Company whereby Mr. Miller agreed, subject to the terms therein, to purchase additional Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of up to $166,667.00 no later than 45 days from the date of the first closing described herein.
          Further reference is hereby made to that certain Form 8-K/A filed by the Company on January 9, 2008, whereby the Company more specifically described the terms of the SPA, the Convertible Debenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Rights Amendment. The aforementioned documents were filed as exhibits on that certain Form 8-K filed by the Company on January 4, 2007. The aforementioned description of the above-referenced transaction documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety to reference to such documents, and such documents are hereby incorporated by reference as if attached hereto.
          Except as described above in this Item 4 and in connection with his activities as a board member, Mr. Miller does not have any specific plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the activities or events specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of this Schedule 13D. Mr. Miller reserves the right to change plans and take any and all actions that Mr. Miller may deem appropriate to maximize the value of his investments, including, among other things, purchasing or otherwise acquiring additional securities of the Company, selling or otherwise disposing of any securities of the Company beneficially owned by him, in each case in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, or formulating other plans or proposals regarding the Company or its securities to the extent deemed advisable by Miller in light of his general investment policies, market conditions, subsequent developments affecting the Company and the general business and future prospects of the Company. Miller may take any other action with respect to the Company or any of the Company’s debt or equity securities in any manner permitted by applicable law.
