Item 1 -  Report to Shareholders

 



August 19, 2011

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

We are pleased to report on the results of The New America High Income Fund (the "Fund") for the period ending June 30, 2011. The portfolio's performance, under the management of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., continued to reap the benefits of a positive market environment during the period. The Fund's net asset value (the "NAV") was $10.45 on June 30th. Based upon the NAV, the Fund's total return for the first six months of 2011 was 5.99%, slightly higher than the 5.97% total return of the Lipper Closed-End Fund Leveraged High Yield Index. The Fund's total return based on stock price was 12.48% for the period. As of June 30th, the Fund's market price was $10.86, representing a premium of 3.9% to the NAV on the same date. The Fund continued to pay a dividend of $.065 per share per month. The annualized common stock dividend yield for a purchase of stock at year-end 2010 for the six months ending June 30th was 7.8%. As we always remind our shareholders, there is no assurance that the common stock dividend will remain at the current level.

The Fund has benefited by being invested in an asset class with strong relative performance and having a historically low cost of leverage. These conditions are unlikely to continue indefinitely. It is particularly important to recognize the impact of leverage on the Fund's results. The Fund's leverage has been beneficial in the recent positive high yield bond market environment, increasing the NAV and the common stock dividend. However, in a market decline, leverage is detrimental to Fund's total return. The ATP contributed approximately 25% of the common dividend in the first half of 2011.

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.

Market Review

High yield bonds continued to deliver compelling returns through the first six months of the year. The gains for the asset class came despite what felt like an endless series of momentous events playing out across the globe. The last few months have brought revolutions and protests throughout the Middle East, a tragic earthquake, tsunami and devastating nuclear crisis in Japan and continued angst across fixed income markets relating to the financial viability of several European countries, led by Greece. While those macro forces contributed to an unsteady backdrop, high yield companies continued to deliver solid operating performance and demonstrate healthy liquidity, rewarding investors with gains. The lowest rated bonds within the asset class had delivered the


1



biggest returns as 2010 came to a close, whereas more recently performance leadership moved to the higher quality tier, with crossover bonds — those on the cusp of returning to investment grade — delivering the biggest gains as the first half of 2011 came to a close.

Strategy Review

Financials continued to provide rewarding gains for the portfolio as New America's holdings from this sector returned 27% over the last year. The former GM finance subsidiary, now called Ally Financial, led the results, but the Fund benefited from many financial services credits, with positions in American International Group, CIT, Nuveen and E-Trade having rallied nicely. The portfolio has long maintained an out-sized position in issues related to the wireless industry and was rewarded in the first half with attractive performance from Sprint, Clearwire and NII Holdings (Nextel International). The wireless industry continues to enjoy the benefits of consumer resiliency, demonstrated asset value and merger and acquisition activity.

One industry that shares a high degree of consumer dependency that has not fared well in recent months is the retail sector. The Fund has faced modest losses in a few names through exposure to credits represented by Gymboree, J. Crew and Claire's. Gymboree and J. Crew have had to grapple with severely elevated prices in the cotton markets which investors suspect may crimp margins in the quarters ahead. Claire's is working to expand its European footprint, but has run head long into soft conditions in new markets it would like to enter. In all three cases, while the underlying businesses have encountered some near term setbacks, the companies generate compelling amounts of cash flow and each looks capable of generating the liquidity necessary to service underlying debt.

Outlook

Many of the macro events that have proved a challenge over the first six months of the year remain unresolved and are expected to continue to be of concern in the months ahead. Most pressing, perhaps, in the coming weeks and months will be negotiations on the U.S. budget. Natural disasters, political tensions and occasional financial dislocations are all but certain to occur from time to time. Whether any particular crisis alone or in concert will be enough of a factor to disrupt the larger economy to a degree that upsets high yield performance remains an open question. We believe that the portfolio's concentrations in defensive sectors including energy, services, health care and wireless should provide some stability should turbulence arrive. It is also important to recognize that high yield as an asset class has come a very long way since the depths of the financial crisis in late 2008. To be sure, such gains are largely behind us, for now. Even so, the Fund's adviser believes there continue to be opportunities to find companies with liquid balance sheets and healthy underlying businesses whose bonds offer attractive yields, even among low-B and CCC-rated credits.

The first half of 2011 did not lack for attention grabbing, sometimes disconcerting headlines and we expect the second half of the year to be very likely to offer more of the same. Our best defense for these sometimes adverse macro forces remains careful fundamental credit selection. As always, T. Rowe Price is committed to the


2



disciplined investment approach and long-term perspective that have helped the Fund generate attractive risk-adjusted performance in the past.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 (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 Investments—Investments 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 $0 and a value of $0, are valued in good faith at fair market value using methods determined by the Board of Directors. Fair value measurement is further discussed in section (f) of this footnote.

(b)  Foreign Currency—Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U. S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign


27



The New America High Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transaction, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(c)  Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts—The Fund may enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed upon price on an agreed future date. The Fund's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the statement of assets and liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the statement of operations. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk or both kinds of risks, in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates.

(d)  Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income—Securities 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.

(e)  Federal Income Taxes—It 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.

(f)  Fair Value Measurement—The Fund applies ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". This standard establishes the definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2—Observable 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.


28



The New America High Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Level 3—Unobservable 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 and liability 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.

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.

Forwards are valued at the unrealized gain or loss on the contract as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the date of entry into the contract and the forward rates at the reporting date. Forwards are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(2) Tax Matters and Distributions

At June 30, 2011, the total cost of securities (including temporary cash investments) for federal income tax purposes was approximately $302,936,000. Aggregate gross unrealized gain on securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was approximately $17,350,000. Aggregate gross unrealized loss on securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was approximately $2,249,000. Net unrealized gain on investments for tax purposes at June 30, 2011 was approximately $15,101,000.

At December 31, 2010, 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  
$ 7,387,000     December 31, 2011  
  125,000     December 31, 2012  
  954,000     December 31, 2013  
  1,481,000     December 31, 2014  
  15,500,000     December 31, 2016  
  26,848,000     December 31, 2017  
$ 52,295,000          

 

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 $24,216,000 and $21,050,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively, was from ordinary income.

As of December 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were approximately:

Undistributed Ordinary income   $ 399,000    
Unrealized Gain     21,157,000    
Post-October Losses     (310,000 )  
Preferred Dividend Payable     (8,000 )  
Capital Losses Carry Forward     (52,295,000 )  
    $ (31,057,000 )  

 

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, expiration of capital loss carryforwards, 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, 2010,

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued

permanent differences between book and tax accounting have been reclassified as follows:

Increase (decrease) in:

Undistributed net investment income   $ (278,000 )  
Accumulated net realized loss from
securities transactions
  $ 34,271,000    
Capital in excess of par value   $ (33,993,000 )  

 

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 is 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 2007-2009, or expected to be taken in the Fund's 2010 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 $564,000 in management fees during the six months ended June 30, 2011. 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, 2011, the fee payable to T. Rowe Price was approximately $93,000, 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, 2011. The ATP's dividends are cumulative at a rate determined using an auction process, the terms of which are set forth in the Fund's charter. Dividend periods will typically be 28 days unless notice is given for periods to be longer or shorter than 28 days. If, as has been the case since February 2008, the auction process does not yield a rate based on orders submitted, then the ATP dividend rate is set using formulas based on a specified percentage of the 30-day AA composite commercial paper rate, which was 150% of such rate for each series' most recent dividend period. Dividend rates ranged from .105% – .332% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The weighted average dividend rate on June 30, 2011 was .142%.

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. None of the ATP auctions successfully closed during the period and the approximate market value of ATP is not determinable at June 30, 2011. The Fund is

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued

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. At June 30, 2011 the Fund was in compliance with these asset coverage requirements.

(5) ATP Auction-Related Matters

Deutsche Bank (DB) serves as the ATP's auction agent pursuant to an agreement entered into on January 4, 1994 with Bankers Trust Company (BTC). BTC was later acquired by DB. The term of the agreement is unlimited and may be terminated by either party. DB 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 DB as auction agent at any time.

After each auction, DB 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 $50,000 for service charges for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This amount is included under the caption preferred and auction fees in the accompanying statement of operations.

The Fund is currently not paying a service charge on series A, B and C ATP because the broker-dealer is not participating in the auctions. A service charge is being paid on series D.

(6) Supplemental Dividend for Series A, B and C ATP

The Fund's Board of Directors determined in October 2010 that it would be appropriate to adjust the dividends payable to holders of each of the Fund's Series A, B and C Auction Term Preferred Stock (ATP) beginning with the dividend period starting on September 23, 2008 (or for each Series with no dividend period beginning on September 23, 2008, that Series' dividend period next commencing after September 23, 2008) and ending with the dividend period concluding on November 16, 2010 (or for each Series with no dividend period concluding on November 16, 2010, that Series' dividend period concluding most immediately before November 16, 2010), using a formula more favorable than the one applied during those dividend periods. (The span of such dividend periods for each Series is referred to as its "Supplemental Dividend Period.") This more favorable formula is referred to in the Fund's charter documents as the "Maximum Applicable Rate" and is equal to 150% of the 30-day AA composite commercial paper rate during a dividend period. Dividend rates during each series' Supplemental Dividend Period had previously been determined using a formula referred to in the Fund's charter documents as the "Minimum Applicable Rate," which is equal to 80% of the 30-day AA composite commercial paper rate during the dividend period. The Directors approved a supplemental dividend for each holder of Series A, B or C ATP that represents the difference between the amount actually paid as dividends during the Supplemental Dividend Period for that series and the amount that would have been paid as dividends had the Maximum Applicable Rate been used in calculating the dividends during that series' Supplemental Dividend Period, plus interest on that amount. The aggregate supplemental dividend for all three series was approximately $413,000, which was distributed on December 27, 2010. The Maximum Applicable Rate has been used to determine the amount of all dividends payable on each series since the end of its Supplemental Dividend Period.

(11) New Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements" in GAAP and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU No. 2011-04 amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact these amendments may have on the Fund's financial statements.

(12) Subsequent Events

The Fund has evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no adjustments were required to the financial statements as of June 30, 2011.
