Item 1 - Report to Shareholders
August 17, 2012
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to report to our shareholders on the results of The New America High Income Fund (the "Fund") for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Fund's net asset value per share (the "NAV") ended the period at $10.14. The market price for the Fund's shares was $10.25 on June 30, 2012, representing a market price premium to NAV of 1.1%. The Fund continued to pay a monthly dividend of $.065 per share. The annualized dividend yield for a share of common stock purchase at year-end 2011 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately 7.60%. However, there is no certainty that the dividend will continue at the current level of $.065 per share per month. The common stock dividend can be affected by portfolio results, the cost and amount of leverage, market conditions, and operating expenses, among other factors.
The Fund's leverage, which is currently in the form of Auction Term Preferred Stock (the "ATP"), contributed approximately 25.8% of the common dividend for the first six months of 2012. As the Fund previously announced, following a change in the methodology used by Moody's Investors Service ("Moodys") to rate securities issued by closed-end funds, in July Moody's downgraded the Fund's ATP, as well as the preferred securities and debt of many other closed-end funds. In response to the action by Moody's, the Fund expects to redeem all outstanding shares of ATP during the fourth quarter at their liquidation preference (par value) plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, as provided by the terms of the ATP. Fund management is reviewing alternative financing available to the Fund to replace the ATP. Alternative financing is expected to be more costly to the Fund than the ATP, which will reduce the net income otherwise available for distribution to common stockholders. Beginning July 12, the dividend rate for the ATP increased from its prior rate of 150% of the 30-day AA composite commercial paper rate to 300% of the 30-day AA composite commercial paper rate, as provided by the terms of the ATP.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return assumes the reinvestment of dividends.
The Credit Suisse High Yield Index and Citigroup 10 Year Treasury Index are unmanaged indices. Unlike the Fund, the indices have no trading activity, expenses or leverage.
* 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
The high yield market generated solid absolute performance through the first six months of 2012 amidst a difficult backdrop that included deteriorating economic trends and increasing drama in Europe. The old adage to "Sell in May and go away" seemed to apply, as a spring correction materialized, but strong results in June more than offset losses for the previous month, leaving the high yield asset class with respectable results through the first half despite the prevailing macro and political headwinds.
1
Higher rated BB and crossover bonds (rated investment grade by at least one of the rating agencies) generated the best performance during the past three months, while CCC's lagged for the first time since the summer of 2011. In a similar vein, bonds of global issuers underperformed U.S. companies as the European crisis intensified late in the spring. With so much uncertainty and low rates across the globe, investors are clamoring to earn yield where ever they can find it, but still showing selectivity in opting for the higher credit quality tiers of the high yield universe.
The increasing uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets also resulted in a sharp decline in high yield new issuance. Underwriters completed only $50 billion of deals during the quarter, about half of the volume generated between January and March. We sense many portfolio managers also raised cash during the quarter in anticipation of trouble ahead, but are now struggling to stay fully invested. This dynamic has been amplified by the broker dealer community, which continues to hold very lean inventories of good quality high yield securities. These technical factors help account for the surprising stability of our market in the face of more bad news from around the world.
Strategy Review
The significant decline in commodity prices during the past twelve months dictated meaningful portfolio shifts in our top down strategy. This was especially relevant in our energy holdings, given that the oil and gas sector is the largest industry in the high yield market. We have meaningfully reduced the portfolio's exposure in this area since the beginning of the year, focusing particularly on selling the higher cost producers. Our underweight in this sector was a big contributor to relative performance as energy was one of the weakest industries in the market from April to June. We worked hard to redeploy the proceeds from these sales into companies that will benefit from lower energy prices. These include autos, airlines and certain consumer related businesses.
We have also been scouring the investment landscape for shorter-dated securities and reducing exposure to CCC's, with the view that this should also help cushion performance if market trends deteriorate later in the year. Many of our shortest bonds are in the financial services sector, which has continued to generate outstanding absolute returns.
Outlook
With half of calendar year 2012 now in the books, we are gratified by the resilience shown thus far by the high yield market, in spite of numerous storm clouds on the horizon. We hesitate to make an educated forecast for the back half of the year given the huge uncertainties that could derail the asset class's nine month winning streak. Investor psychology remains highly unpredictable and skittish. Management teams seem to have hunkered down last quarter, as evidenced by recent poor hiring trends in the United States. The solution to Europe's financial woes remains elusive and the uncertain American political climate will rear its ugly head again during a critical
2
election cycle. In an uncertain world, it is hard to deny the appeal of the semiannual coupon payments promised by high yield issuers, which exceed by a wide margin the yield on all other domestic fixed income strategies.

Notes to Financial Statements

(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 $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 CurrencyInvestment 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
26

Notes to Financial Statements Continued
June 30, 2012 (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 ContractsThe 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 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.
(e) 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.
(f) Fair Value MeasurementThe 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 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.
27
The New America High Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements Continued
June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
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 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.

* Debt Securities All are level 2. Type of debt and industries are shown on the Schedule of Investments.
The Fund owns one Level 3 security with a value of zero at June 30, 2012. The Valuation Committee at the Fund's investment Advisor, T. Rowe Price, confirmed that there has been no company-specific news or filings to indicate that the current valuation of zero should be changed. The techniques used to arrive at this valuation have taken into account litigation involving the security with no settlement expected for the foreseeable future. The security is not trading and there is no guarantee that holders will receive any distribution. The security will continue to be valued at zero until trading commences, the occurrence of company-specific or industry events, or other market factors suggest the value should be changed.
The following is a reconciliation of Fund investments using Level 3 inputs for the period:
Equity Securities |

Balance, June 30, 2012 | $ | |
Level 1 and Level 2 assets are evaluated on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
Transfers between levels are recognized at the value at the end of the reporting period. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Fund recognized approximately $1,806,000 of transfers to Level 1 from Level 2.
(2) Tax Matters and Distributions
At June 30, 2012, the total cost of securities (including temporary cash investments) for federal income tax purposes was approximately $310,134,000. Aggregate gross unrealized gain on securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was approximately $13,303,000. Aggregate gross unrealized loss on securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was approximately $4,648,000. Net unrealized gain on investments for tax purposes at June 30, 2012 was approximately $8,655,000.
At December 31, 2011, 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 | ||||||
$ | 125,000 | December 31, 2012 | |||||
954,000 | December 31, 2013 | ||||||
1,481,000 | December 31, 2014 | ||||||
15,500,000 | December 31, 2016 | ||||||
26,830,000 | December 31, 2017 | ||||||
$ | 44,890,000 |
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 $24,188,000 and $24,216,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively, was from ordinary income.

The New America High Income Fund, Inc.

June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
As of December 31, 2011, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were approximately:
Undistributed Ordinary income | $ | 611,000 | |||||
Unrealized Gain | 260,000 | ||||||
Post-October Losses | (566,000 | ) | |||||
Preferred Dividend Payable | (7,000 | ) | |||||
Capital Losses Carry Forward | (44,890,000 | ) | |||||
$ | (44,592,000 | ) |
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, 2011, permanent differences between book and tax accounting have been reclassified as follows:
Increase (decrease) in:
Undistributed net investment income | $ | 666,000 | |||||
Accumulated net realized loss from securities transactions |
$ | (524,000 | ) | ||||
Capital in excess of par value | $ | (142,000 | ) |
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 2008-2010, or expected to be taken in the Fund's 2011 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 $550,000 in management fees during the six months ended June 30, 2012. 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, 2012, the fee payable to T. Rowe Price was approximately $90,000, 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, 2012. The ATP's dividends are cumulative at a rate designed to be 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

The New America High Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements Continued
June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
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 .045% .497% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The weighted average dividend rate on June 30, 2012 was .215%.
On July 12, 2012, Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"), one of two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (an "NRSO") currently rating the Auction Term Preferred Stock ("ATP") of The New America High Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), announced that it has downgraded the ATP from Aaa to Aa3. This action occurred following a review by Moody's of its ratings of the securities of all closed-end registered investment companies, which was undertaken in conjunction with the adoption of changes to the methodology Moody's uses to rate securities issued by closed-end funds. The Fund's ATP continues to have a credit rating in the highest rating category from Fitch Ratings, which affirmed its rating on March 1, 2012.
Under the terms of the ATP, the Fund is required to maintain a rating in the highest category from two NRSOs. From the date of the downgrade until the ATP is redeemed, the dividend rate for the ATP has been increased to 300% of the 30-day AA composite commercial paper rate. Since July 12, 2012 through the date of this report, dividend rates have ranged from .300% .453%.
The ATP is redeemable, at the option of the Fund, or subject to mandatory redemption (if the Fund is in default of certain coverage and ATP ratings requirements) at a redemption price equal to $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. In response to the action by Moody's, it is anticipated the Fund will redeem all outstanding shares of ATP at their liquidation preference (par value) of $25,000 per share plus accumulated but unpaid dividends within 120 days of the downgrade, as provided by the terms of the ATP. Fund management is reviewing alternative financing available to the Fund to replace the ATP.
None of the ATP auctions successfully closed during the period and the approximate market value of the ATP is not determinable at June 30, 2012. The Fund is required to maintain certain asset coverages with respect to the ATP under the Fund's Charter and the 1940 Act to maintain the Fund's Aaa/AAA ratings by Moody's Investors Service and Fitch, Inc., respectively. At June 30, 2012, 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 $44,000 for service charges for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This amount is included under the caption preferred and auction fees in the accompanying statement of operations.

June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
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 of .15% 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 that 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 was used to determine the amount of all dividends payable on each series from the end of its Supplemental Dividend Period until July 12, 2012 when Moody's downgraded the ATP (see Note 4).
(7) Purchases and Sales of Securities
Purchases and proceeds of sales or maturities of long-term securities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were approximately:
Cost of purchases | $ | 99,555,000 | |||||
Proceeds of sales or maturities | $ | 112,394,000 |
(8) Related Party Transactions
The Fund paid approximately $162,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 to two officers of the Fund for the provision of certain administrative services.
(9) Legal Expenses
For the years ended December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Fund incurred legal expenses in the course of responding to inquiries from the staff of the SEC's Division of Enforcement (the "Staff") in connection with the Staff's investigation of matters relating to the Fund's ATP, which expenses were materially higher than the legal expenses incurred in comparable periods prior to 2010. The Fund has reached a settlement in principle with the Staff with respect to these matters, and accordingly does not anticipate incurring comparable amounts of related legal expenses in future periods. The settlement remains subject to the approval of the SEC. The failure to obtain such approval could result in the Fund continuing to incur additional related legal expenses.
