Item 1 -  Report to Shareholders

 



August 13, 2010

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

We are pleased to report to our shareholders on The New America High Income Fund's (the "Fund") results for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Fund's net asset value per share (the "NAV") ended the period at $9.58. The Fund's total return, based on NAV, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 4.94%. The market price for the Fund's shares was $9.25 on June 30, 2010, representing a market price discount to NAV of -3.4%. The Fund continued to pay a monthly dividend of $.065 per share. The annualized dividend yield for a common stock purchase at year-end 2009 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately 8.6%. However, there is no certainty that the dividend will continue at the current level. The common stock dividend can be affected by portfolio results, the cost and amount of leverage, and market conditions, among other factors. The Fund's leverage, which is in the form of Auction Term Preferred Stock (the "ATP"), contributed approximately 27% of the common dividend. It is important to note that leverage is a two-edged sword. Leverage increases the total return to the common shareholders in favorable markets; however the reverse is true in poor markets.

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

After delivering positive results for each of the first four months of 2010, the high yield market's momentum ended in May as several macroeconomic developments led to a quick shift in investor sentiment and an uptick in global market volatility. As measured by the Credit Suisse High Yield Index, May saw a 3.19% decline for the asset class. In June, high yield bonds again returned to positive territory, leaving the Credit Suisse Index up 4.69% for the first six months of 2010. Investors generally shed higher-risk assets, including high yield bonds, during May amid mounting sovereign fiscal concerns in Europe. The euro zone continued to be the center of attention for the global investment community, despite an announcement of the sizable European Union Stabilization Plan. The strength and sustainability of the U.S. economic recovery was also called into question, partly due to a slowdown in employment growth.

The J.P. Morgan Global High Yield Index's spread-to-worst, which is a measure of the differential in rates between high yield bonds and US Treasuries, widened by 141 basis points during May and June to end the period at 730 basis points over Treasuries. Despite the market's nearly 5% return, the average spread-to-worst for the J.P. Morgan Index was 72 basis points wider than where it started the year. U.S. Treasury securities attracted strong


1



demand amid the widespread risk aversion witnessed in May, sending Treasury bond prices up and their yields down. The decline in Treasury rates accounted for a portion of the spread widening seen for high yield bonds. The average yield for J.P. Morgan Index ended the first half of the year at 9.04%, roughly five times higher than the five-year U.S. Treasury yield. This broad difference in absolute yields tempted market participants back to the high yield asset class. High yield bond prices bounced back in June as positive cash inflows resumed, although investors remained cautious and uncertain about prospects for the second half of 2010.

High yield investors may face a potentially challenging summer—a season traditionally characterized by light trading volumes. Second quarter earnings reports may provide some solace, but analysts and portfolio managers will closely examine companies' outlooks for the third and fourth quarters. A strong dose of pessimism seems to have suddenly replaced a guarded sense of optimism that propelled the high yield market higher over the last year and a half. The bearish sentiment seems a bit excessive in our view given the progress many high yield issuers have made to improve their balance sheets and restore their financial health.

Strategy Review

Throughout the first six months of this year, our investment team has made a number of important adjustments to the Fund's portfolio. First, we reduced or eliminated several higher-risk, leveraged buyout positions—notably First Data and Texas Utilities. We also pared back holdings in convertible securities, an area that delivered particularly strong performance over the past year. Proceeds from these sales were redeployed into more traditional BB and B rated bonds with yields between 9% and 10%. One important sector of focus was energy, which underperformed due to the tragic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We sold several companies that will be adversely affected by a moratorium on drilling, but also established a position in convertible bonds for Transocean that are puttable in 2011. While there is tremendous uncertainty with respect to Transocean's share of responsibility for the tragedy in the Gulf, any legal claims will likely be decided well beyond this bond's put date. Our research has concluded the company has ample liquidity and access to capital to fund this potential maturity.

The Fund's major sector weightings remain concentrated in industries that have more defensive characteristics, such as wireless communications, financials, and health care. While the Fund's financials holdings took some hits in the second quarter, we are encouraged by the strong capitalizations and cash flow profiles of the companies we own. A number of these issuers even retain investment-grade credit ratings. For example, CIT, one of our largest positions, announced a $1.2 billion pay down of its high cost term loan at quarter end, funded by a small asset sale and excess cash from its balance sheet. Overall, we sense that most management teams remain committed to further balance sheet improvement in an uncertain economic climate.

Outlook

Even if U.S. economic growth slows in the second half of 2010, we feel the majority of high yield issuers have taken the necessary steps to improve liquidity, extend debt maturities, and rationalize cost structures. Clearly a number of extremely leveraged buyouts will ultimately face eventual restructurings of their bonds and loans, even in a robust growth scenario. We are confident that the Fund's portfolio has minimal exposure to these riskier companies. Our investment team is not currently subscribing to a "double dip" recession forecast, but we will closely monitor


2



the effects of macroeconomic developments on the high yield market and incorporate this view in assessing the overall risk level for the Fund's portfolio. As always, we are committed to the disciplined investment approach and long-term perspective that have helped us generate attractive risk-adjusted performance in past market cycles.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2010 (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.

(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 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.


26



The New America High Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

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" formerly known as SFAS No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements". 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.

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


27



The New America High Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

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.

Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund recognized no significant transfers to/from Level 1 or Level 2.

(2) Tax Matters and Distributions

At June 30, 2010, the total cost of securities (including temporary cash investments) for federal income tax purposes was approximately $290,967,000. Aggregate gross unrealized gain on securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was approximately $14,873,000. Aggregate gross unrealized loss on securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was approximately $5,944,000. Net unrealized gain on investments for tax purposes at June 30, 2010 was approximately $8,929,000.

At December 31, 2009, 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  
$ 45,239,000     December 31, 2010  
  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  
$ 97,534,000      

 

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 $21,050,000 and $23,368,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively, was from ordinary income.

As of December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were approximately:

Unrealized Loss   $ (15,959,000 )  
Post-October Losses   $ (403,000 )  
Preferred Dividend Payable   $ (3,000 )  
Capital Losses Carry Forward   $ (97,534,000 )  

 

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, 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, 2009,


29



The New America High Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

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

Increase (decrease) in:

Undistributed net investment income   $ (47,000 )  
Accumulated net realized loss from
securities transactions
  $ 67,114,000    
Capital in excess of par value   $ (67,067,000 )  

 

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 2006-2008, 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 $533,000 in management fees during the six months ended June 30, 2010. 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, 2010, the fee payable to T. Rowe Price was approximately $88,000, 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, 2010. 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 .08% – .467% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The average dividend rate as of June 30, 2010 was .247%.

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, 2010. 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

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, 2010. 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) 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 made 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. made payments to the Fund on a monthly basis at a variable rate determined with reference to one month LIBOR. The variable rates ranged from .246% – 1.89% for the period January 1, 2009 to November 5, 2009. On that date, the Swap Arrangement matured.

(7) Purchases and Sales of Securities

Purchases and proceeds of sales or maturities of long-term securities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were approximately:

Cost of purchases   $ 118,530,000    
Proceeds of sales or maturities   $ 115,008,000    

 

(8) Related Party Transactions

A partner of Goodwin Procter LLP, counsel to the Fund, served as a Director of the Fund until his death in February, 2010. Fees earned by Goodwin Procter LLP amounted to approximately $223,000 for the two months ended February 28, 2010.

The Fund paid approximately $159,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 to two officers of the Fund for the provision of certain administrative services.
