Item 1 - Report to Shareholders
August 14, 2009
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
Despite the continuing world-wide economic recession, the high yield market roared back in the first half of 2009, as investors regained an appetite for risk. Measured by the Credit Suisse High Yield Index, the first six months witnessed a stunning 27.22% return for the asset class, with a 20.23% gain coming in the second quarter. The strategy of the Fund's investment adviser, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., proved to be a good match for the exceptional high yield market conditions during the period. The Fund's total return, based on net asset value ("NAV"), for the first half of 2009 was 43.09%.
The Fund paid monthly dividends totaling $0.325 per share during the first half of 2009. Of course, in the future, the Fund's performance and the common dividend may fluctuate, as it has in the past, depending upon portfolio results, the cost of leverage, market conditions, and other factors.
The Fund's leverage, which is in the form of Auction Term Preferred Stock (the "ATP"), and a related interest rate swap contributed approximately 25% of the common stock dividend for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Of course, the Fund's use of leverage is not without risk. The Fund's leverage increases the volatility of the Fund's NAV. In the positive market environment of the first half of the year, the leverage increased the NAV. However, if the high yield bond market declines, the leverage will exacerbate the decline in the NAV. If there is a significant decline in the portfolio's value, the Fund may have to reduce the leverage and the common stock dividend. The Fund was approximately 32% leveraged on June 30, 2009, compared with 39% leveraged as of December 31, 2008.
While high yield bonds have rallied sharply and there are signs that the economy may be stabilizing, the financial markets and the economy remain distressed. No one can be certain at this point that the markets will not suffer another setback. According to JP Morgan, in the first half of 2009 the high yield bond default rate reached 8.63%, with 76 high yield issuers defaulting on more than $130 billion of debt. Some market analysts forecast a 2009 default rate in double digits. In the first six months of 2009, four of the Fund's portfolio securities defaulted.
The Fund has not identified a solution to the liquidity crisis affecting the holders of the ATP following the failure of the auction process for most auction rate securities beginning in February 2008, but has been and is in compliance with the terms of the ATP. The Board remains mindful that in considering any proposed action to address ATP liquidity issues, it must determine that action to be in the best interest of the Fund as a whole.
Performance Update
The Fund's NAV ended the period at $7.84. The market price for the Fund's shares on the New York Stock Exchange closed at $7.35 on June 30, 2009, representing a market price discount of approximately 6% from the NAV. Twenty six of the thirty four funds in the Lipper Closed-End Fund Leveraged High Yield category were trading at market price discounts to their NAVs at the end of the period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return assumes the reinvestment of dividends.
* Because the Fund's shares may trade at either a discount or premium to the Fund's net asset value per share, returns based upon the stock price and dividends will tend to differ from those derived from the underlying change in net asset value and dividends.

High Yield Market Update
Strong demand from investors allowed many high yield companies to successfully undertake initiatives to restore and repair balance sheets by issuing new debt. During the first quarter, these recapitalizations were mainly confined to the higher quality issuers in the high yield universe. In April, May and June, however, the refinancing wave spread to medium and lower quality credits. Even a number of the most aggressively structured leveraged buyouts enjoyed success in the new issue market and extended near and intermediate term maturities.
During the June quarter, the best performance came in leveraged loans and CCC-rated issues, traditionally the highest and lowest rated sectors of the high yield bond market, respectively, with each significantly outpacing the gains in BB and B-rated credits. The results for levered loans were particularly rewarding, especially in higher risk loans. Another striking development was the recovery of bonds in some of the market's most stressed industries, including autos, broadcasting, gaming and financials. Even with General Motors bankruptcy filing, auto industry related bonds returned over 30%, as measured by the JP Morgan Global High Yield Index.
Strategy Review
We continued to deploy the Fund's assets in the first quarter of 2009, and many of the purchases generated significant capital appreciation in the June quarter. Sirius/XM Satellite Radio and Univision Communications were the biggest winners among the Fund's broadcasting holdings, as both companies tapped the new issue market to refinance senior secured liabilities. At the beginning of 2009, both companies appeared headed for Chapter 11, but recent initiatives have, in our analysis, dramatically reduced each company's near term risk of bankruptcy. Even if the U.S. economy remains weak into 2010, each organization has taken important steps to extend their financial flexibility, giving these businesses more time to improve profitability.
The biggest winner in the portfolio during the quarter was E*Trade Financial, one of the country's major online brokerage firms. The Fund's position in E*Trade bonds rose dramatically in the quarter as the company successfully completed a creative recapitalization of its balance sheet. The Fund also enjoyed significant appreciation in other financials, notably Nuveen, Hub Insurance Group and Bank of America convertible preferred.
Our traders and analysts worked closely with the major underwriters of new issues that have provided the catalyst for improved credit quality at many of these companies. Pricing and structural terms proved critical to the performance of the bonds bought on behalf of the Fund. We expect that the calendar for new deals will remain robust throughout 2009 and we will continue to evaluate opportunities with an eye toward the right balance between yield and risk.
Outlook
The fear phase of this high yield cycle seemed to draw to a decisive close during the first half of 2009. High yield investors appear to have regained their courage as flows into the asset class were put in pursuit of both new issues and secondary opportunities. This is a huge paradigm shift from late 2008 and suggests to us that the asset class is moving into a new phase. Fundamentals will now receive more scrutiny as portfolio managers and analysts look for signs of improving earnings and cash flow from high yield credits. Disappointments will likely result in the coming months and the market could give back some of its gains. Notwithstanding short term setbacks,
2
however, we remain constructive longer term on high yield bonds, and urge patience as the U.S. economy continues its road to recovery.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
(1) Significant Accounting and Other Policies
The New America High Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was organized as a corporation in the state of Maryland on November 19, 1987 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a diversified, closed-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund commenced operations on February 26, 1988. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide high current income while seeking to preserve stockholders' capital through investment in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of "high yield" fixed-income securities.
The Fund invests primarily in fixed maturity corporate debt securities that are rated less than investment grade. Risk of loss upon default by the issuer is significantly greater with respect to such securities compared to investment grade securities because these securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer and because these issuers usually have high levels of indebtedness and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as a recession, than are investment grade issuers. In some cases, the collection of principal and timely receipt of interest is dependent upon the issuer attaining improved operating results, selling assets or obtaining additional financing.
The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a Fund that is more diversified. See the schedule of investments for information on individual securities as well as industry diversification and credit quality ratings.
The Fund's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for investment companies that require the management of the Fund to, among other things, make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund, which are in conformity with those generally accepted in the investment company industry.
(a) Valuation of InvestmentsInvestments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value, which is determined by using the most recently quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service or principal market maker. Independent pricing services provide market quotations based primarily on quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, accessing data from quotations services, offering sheets obtained from dealers and various relationships between securities. Investments whose primary market is on an exchange are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Short-term investments with original maturities of 60 days or less are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Following procedures approved by the Board of Directors, investments for which market quotations are not readily available (primarily fixed-income corporate bonds and notes) are stated at fair value on the basis of subjective valuations furnished by securities dealers and brokers. Other investments, for which market quotations are not readily available with a cost of approximately $2,826,000 and a value of $150,000, are valued in good faith at fair market value using methods determined by the Board of Directors.
(b) Securities Transactions and Net Investment IncomeSecurities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis. Discount on short-term investments is amortized to investment income. Premiums or discounts on corporate debt securities are amortized based on the interest method for financial reporting purposes. All income on original issue

discount and step interest bonds is accrued based on the effective interest method. The Fund does not amortize market premiums or discounts for tax purposes. Dividend payments received in the form of additional securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date.
(c) Federal Income TaxesIt is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders each year. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.
Management has reviewed the Fund's tax positions for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2005-2008) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements.
(d) Fair Value MeasurementIn September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"). This standard establishes the definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 was effective for the Fund's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:
Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund's major asset categories is as follows.
Debt securities (corporate, convertible & bank debt). The fair value of debt securities is provided by independent pricing services using quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, data from quotations services, offering sheets and various relationships between securities. While most corporate bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, there may be instances where less observable inputs necessitate a level 3 categorization.

June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
Equity securities (preferred and common stock). Equity securities for which the primary market is on an exchange will be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Other equity securities traded in inactive markets or valued by independent pricing services using methods similar to debt securities are categorized in level 2. The fair value of equity securities in which observable inputs are unavailable are categorized in level 3.
Short-term investments. Short-term investments are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely the values would be categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2009 in valuing the Fund's investments:

(2) Tax Matters and Distributions
At June 30, 2009, the total cost of securities (including temporary cash investments) for federal income tax purposes was approximately $283,290,000. Aggregate gross unrealized gain on securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was approximately $9,286,000. Aggregate gross unrealized loss on securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was approximately $28,546,000. Net unrealized loss on investments for tax purposes at June 30, 2009 was approximately $19,260,000.
At December 31, 2008, the Fund had approximate capital loss carryovers available to offset future capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations:
Carryover Available | Expiration Date | ||||||
$ | 67,043,000 | December 31, 2009 | |||||
45,239,000 | December 31, 2010 | ||||||
7,387,000 | December 31, 2011 | ||||||
125,000 | December 31, 2012 | ||||||

1,481,000 | December 31, 2014 | ||||||
15,500,000 | December 31, 2016 | ||||||
$ | 137,729,000 |
It is the policy of the Fund to reduce future distributions of realized gains to shareholders to the extent of the unexpired capital loss carry forward.
The tax character of distributions paid to common and preferred shareholders of approximately $23,368,000 and $28,257,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively, was from ordinary income.
As of December 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were approximately:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | $ | 354,000 | |||||
Undistributed Long-Term Gain | | ||||||
Unrealized Loss | $ | (85,054,000 | ) | ||||
Post-October Losses | $ | (11,295,000 | ) | ||||
Preferred Dividend Payable | $ | (10,000 | ) | ||||
Capital Losses Carry Forward | $ | (137,729,000 | ) |
27
The New America High Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements Continued
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
The difference between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to market discount adjustments, deductibility of preferred stock dividends, wash sales and post-October losses. The Fund has recorded several reclassifications in the capital accounts to present undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized losses on a tax basis. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2008, permanent differences between book and tax accounting have been reclassified as follows:
Increase (decrease) in:
Undistributed net investment income | $ | 261,000 | |||||
Accumulated net realized loss from securities transactions |
$ | 21,560,000 | |||||
Capital in excess of par value | $ | (21,821,000 | ) |
Distributions on common stock are declared based upon annual projections of the Fund's investment company taxable income. The Fund records all dividends and distributions payable to shareholders on the ex-dividend date and declares and distributes income dividends monthly.
The Fund was required to amortize market discounts and premiums for financial reporting purposes. This results in additional interest income in some years and decreased interest income in others for financial reporting purposes only. The Fund does not amortize market discounts or premiums for tax purposes. Therefore, the additional or decreased interest income for financial reporting purposes does not result in additional or decreased common stock dividend income.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2005-2008, or expected to be taken in the Fund's 2009 tax returns. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
(3) Investment Advisory Agreement
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price), the Fund's Investment Advisor, earned approximately $426,000 in management fees during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Management fees paid by the Fund to T. Rowe Price were calculated at 0.50% on the first $50,000,000 of the Fund's average weekly net assets, 0.40% on the next $50 million and 0.30% on average weekly net assets in excess of $100 million. T. Rowe Price's fee is calculated based on assets attributable to the Fund's common and auction term preferred stock. At June 30, 2009, the fee payable to T. Rowe Price was approximately $77,000, which was included in accrued expenses on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities.
(4) Auction Term Preferred Stock (ATP)
The Fund had 3,417 shares of ATP issued and outstanding at June 30, 2009. The ATP's dividends are cumulative at a rate determined at an auction, and dividend periods will typically be 28 days unless notice is given for periods to be longer or shorter than 28 days. Dividend rates ranged from .193% .602% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The average dividend rate as of June 30, 2009 was .262%.
The ATP is redeemable, at the option of the Fund, or subject to mandatory redemption (if the Fund is in default of certain coverage requirements) at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The ATP has a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverages with respect to the ATP under the Fund's Charter and the 1940 Act in order to maintain the Fund's

Aaa/AAA ratings by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch, Inc., respectively.
(5) ATP Auction-Related Matters
Bankers Trust Company (BTC) serves as the ATP's auction agent pursuant to an agreement entered into on January 4, 1994. The term of the agreement is unlimited and may be terminated by either party. BTC may resign upon notice to the Fund, such resignation to be effective on the earlier of the 90th day after the delivery of such notice and the date on which a successor auction agent is appointed by the Fund. The Fund may also replace BTC as auction agent at any time.
After each auction, BTC will pay to each broker-dealer, from funds provided by the Fund, a maximum service charge at the annual rate of 0.25 of 1% or such other percentage subsequently agreed to by the Fund and the broker-dealers, of the purchase price of shares placed by such broker-dealers at such auction. In the event an auction scheduled to occur on an auction date fails to occur for any reason, the broker-dealers will be entitled to service charges as if the auction had occurred and all holders of shares placed by them had submitted valid hold orders. The Fund incurred approximately $12,000 for service charges for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This amount is included under the caption preferred and auction fees in the accompanying statement of operations.
The Fund is currently not paying commissions on series A, B and C ATP because the broker-dealer is not participating in the auctions.
(6) Interest Rate Swaps
The Fund entered into an interest payment swap arrangement with Bank of America, N.A. for the purpose of partially hedging its dividend payment obligations with respect to the ATP. Pursuant to the Swap Arrangement the Fund makes payments to Bank of America, N.A. on a monthly basis at a fixed annual rate. In exchange for such payment Bank of America, N.A. makes payments to the Fund on a monthly basis at a variable rate determined with reference to one month LIBOR. The variable rates ranged from .319% 1.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The effective date, notional amount, maturity and fixed rate of the swap is as follows:
Effective Date |
Notional Contract Amount |
Maturity |
Fixed Annual Rate |
||||||||||||
11/5/04 | $ | 85,425,000 | 11/5/09 | 3.775 | % | ||||||||||
Swap transactions, which involve future settlement, give rise to credit risk. Credit risk is the amount of loss the Fund would incur in the event counterparties failed to perform according to the terms of the contractual commitments. In the event of nonperformance by the counterparty, the Fund's dividend payment obligation with respect to the ATP would no longer be partially hedged. Therefore, the ATP dividend would no longer be partially fixed. In an unfavorable interest rate environment, the Fund would be subject to higher net ATP dividend payments, resulting in less income available for the common share dividend. The Fund does not anticipate nonperformance by any counterparty. While notional contract amounts are used to express the volume of interest rate swap agreements, the amounts potentially subject to credit risk, in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, are substantially smaller.
The Fund recognizes all freestanding derivative instruments in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and measures them at fair value. Any change in the unrealized gain or loss is recorded in current earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund's obligation under the swap agreement was more than the amount received from Bank of America, N.A. by approximately $1,420,000 and such amount is included in the accompanying statement of operations.
The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreement at June 30, 2009 amounted to approximately $1,020,000 of unrealized loss and is presented in the accompanying balance sheet.

(11) New Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active ("FSP 157-3"), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in an inactive market and provides an illustrative example to demonstrate how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is not active. The guidance provided by FSP 157-3 did not have an impact on the Fund's approach to valuing financial assets.

The New America High Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements Continued
June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
In April 2009, the FASB Staff issued Position No. 157-4 Determining Fair Value when the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly ("FSP 157-4"). FSP 157-4 clarifies the process for measuring the fair value of financial instruments when the markets become inactive and quoted prices may reflect distressed transactions. FSP 157-4 provides a non-exclusive list of factors a reporting entity should consider when determining whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal market activity. Under FSP 157-4, if a reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities), transactions or quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value. Further analysis of the transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157 Fair Value Measurement. FSP157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The guidance provided by FSP 157-4 did not have an impact on the Fund's approach to valuing financial assets.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS ("SFAS165"). SFAS 165 provides authoritative accounting literature related to evaluating subsequent events that was previously addressed only in the auditing literature, and is largely similar to the current guidance in the auditing literature with some exceptions that are not intended to result in significant changes in practice. SFAS 165 defines subsequent events and also requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date SFAS 165 is effective on a prospective basis for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of its financial statements on August 21, 2009.
(12) Reverse Stock Split
The Fund implemented a reverse stock split of 1-for-5 effective after the close of business on January 22, 2009. As a result of the reverse stock split, every five outstanding Fund shares were converted into one share, thereby reducing the number of outstanding shares by a factor of five.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)
Availability of Portfolio Holdings
The Fund provides a complete schedule of its portfolio holdings quarterly. The lists of holdings as of the end of the second and fourth quarters appear in the Fund's semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders, respectively. The schedules of portfolio holdings as of the end of the first and third quarters are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form N-Q (the "Forms") within 60 days of the end of the first and third quarters. Shareholders can look up the Forms on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. The Forms may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. You may call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information about the SEC's web site and their public reference room. In addition, the Forms may be reviewed on the Fund's web site at www.newamerica-hyb.com.
Compliance Certifications
On May 20, 2009, your Fund submitted a CEO annual certification to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on which the Fund's principal executive officer certified that he was not aware, as of that date, of any violation by the Fund of the NYSE's Corporate Governance listing standards. In addition, as required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC rules, the Fund's principal executive and principal financial officers have made quarterly certifications, included in filings with the SEC on Forms N-CSR and N-Q, relating to, among other things, the Fund's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
Common and Auction Term Preferred Stock Transactions
From time to time in the future, the Fund may effect redemptions and/or repurchases of its ATP as provided in the applicable constituent instruments or as agreed upon by the Fund and sellers. The Fund may effect such redemptions and/or repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage requirements.
The Fund may purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market when the Common Stock trades at a discount to net asset value or at other times if the Fund determines such purchases are in the best interest of its stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Fund will take such action in the event of a market discount to net asset value or that Fund purchases will reduce a discount.
