Item 1 -  Report to Shareholders




  August 21, 2007

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

We are pleased to report to our fellow shareholders on the results of The New America High Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") for the period ended June 30, 2007.

Highlights of the first half of 2007 include:

•  The Fund's monthly dividend continued unchanged at $.0175 per share. The regular monthly dividend has been at this level since February 2003. Of course, in the future, the dividend may fluctuate, as it has in the past, depending on portfolio results, market conditions and other factors.

•  While the Fund's net asset value (the "NAV") did fluctuate during the first half of the year, the NAV ended the period at $2.19, unchanged from year-end 2006.

•  The market price for the Fund's shares closed at $2.19 in trading on the New York Stock Exchange at the end of June, at parity with the NAV. Annualizing the Fund's current regular monthly dividend of $.0175, at the opening stock price on January 2, 2007 of $2.26, would have produced a dividend yield of 9.29%.

•  Over the one and three year periods ended June 30, 2007, the Fund's total return based upon its NAV has outperformed the Lipper Closed-End Fund Leveraged High Yield universe, the Credit Suisse High Yield Index, and the Citigroup 10 Year Treasury Index.

While the high yield market has provided positive returns in recent years, since late July, the U.S. financial markets, including the high yield market have experienced a downturn. None of us knows how long the unfavorable conditions will continue. As of August 17, 2007, the Fund's NAV was $2.04 and the stock price closed on the New York Stock Exchange at $1.77, a discount of 13%. During times of market turmoil, it is common for the market price discount to the Fund's NAV to widen.

Due to market conditions, the Fund extended the expiration date of its transferable rights offering (the "Offering") from August 20th to September 17, 2007. Since the issuance of additional common stock through the Offering causes a reduction in the Fund's leverage ratio, the Fund's Board of Directors has authorized action designed to restore the Fund's leverage ratio to approximately 40%, its general level prior to the Offering. As discussed more fully below, the leverage is an important contributor to the Fund's common stock dividend.

It bears remembering that we are shareholders of a Fund that is subject to various risks, including credit and leveraged capital structure risks. For example, the Fund's portfolio of high yield corporate bonds has more credit risk than investment grade debt. In an effort to mitigate the credit risk, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("TRP"), the Fund's investment advisor, has followed a strategy of investing in a highly diversified, relatively high quality portfolio of high yield bonds.

The Fund's leveraged capital structure is a second important source of risk. The use of leverage, in the form of the Fund's Auction Term Preferred Stock (the "ATP"), increases the volatility of the NAV. If the high yield bond market declines sufficiently, the Fund may have to reduce the leverage and reduce the common stock dividend. In favorable market conditions, the leverage enables the Fund to pay a higher common stock dividend than is possible with an unleveraged capital structure. The ATP dividend resets monthly in an auction procedure and has generally floated around one month LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate), a widely used money market reference rate. Fund management entered into an interest rate swap in November 2004 in anticipation of rising interest rates to hedge against an expected increase in the ATP dividend. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Fund pays the swap counterparty a fixed rate of 3.775% on a notional amount equal to the amount of ATP outstanding, and in turn receives from the swap counterparty a payment that fluctuates with one month LIBOR. As a result, to the extent LIBOR exceeds 3.775%, as it did during the period, the Fund receives the difference. If LIBOR is less than 3.775%, the Fund pays the difference to the swap counterparty. The swap agreement is scheduled to terminate in November 2009. Approximately 22% of the Fund's taxable income during the period was attributable to the Fund's leveraged structure and the Fund's interest rate swap.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return assumes the reinvestment of dividends.

The Fund's ratio of total expenses to average net assets applicable to common stock was 1.33% annualized for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The Fund's ratio of total expenses to average net assets applicable to common and preferred stock was .83% annualized for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The Fund's total returns based upon NAV and dividends in the above table reflect returns after accounting for Fund expenses.

*  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.

Below, the Fund's investment adviser, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., reviews the performance of the high yield market and the Fund during the period and its outlook going forward.

High Yield Market Update

As measured by the Credit Suisse High Yield Index (the "Index"), the high yield market generated a return of 3.68% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The market began the year on solid footing, with the Index rallying nicely in January and February. March, however, brought some mild turbulence, despite still delivering a modest contribution. The second quarter was not unlike the first, with the Index up nicely in the first two months before suffering a sharp reversal in June.

The March correction came as a sell-off in Chinese stocks carried over to US equities and the first signs of trouble in the housing and mortgaged-related markets emerged and pushed high yield investors to the sidelines. The market recovered quickly and resumed its ascent through April and May. By the first week of June, spreads for high yield bonds, a measure of their relative yield versus Treasuries, had reached record low levels. The June sell-off was triggered when word came that two hedge funds in the mortgage market were on the verge of collapse just as high yield investors were set to receive several large new bond deals brought to market to fund recent leveraged buyouts. This supply of new issues and the attendant shock waves from the mortgage market sent high yield bonds as an asset class down for the month. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, credit markets have continued to show increased volatility. Finance companies engaged in originating mortgages have lost access to capital with many rendered insolvent and forced to close. This has reduced liquidity and triggered a general re-pricing of risk across the credit markets. U.S. economic data proved to be stronger than expected throughout the first half of 2007, particularly in the labor market, but the recent credit crisis has, in our view, increased the prospects that the economy could soften a few months from now and raised the odds that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this year or in 2008.

Strategy Update

Throughout the first half of the year, we viewed many of the newly issued offerings that came to market as unattractive from an investment standpoint. In recent years, borrowers have enjoyed the advantages brought by an ample supply of credit, including looser lending standards, less restrictive covenants and low interest rates. With the June sell-off, and a very large supply of announced, but not yet completed, leveraged buyouts in need of funding, high yield investors — like the Fund — are regaining more attractive terms on new issues and second chances to

revisit deals previously passed on, but now at more attractive prices and terms. During the first six months, we continued to emphasize the middle and upper quality credit tiers of the high yield market, while limiting our exposure to the most speculative segment (those securities rated CCC or below by the major rating agencies). Throughout the first half, we have also continued to increase the Fund's exposure to bank debt and floating rate notes.

From a sector perspective, the best performing segments in the portfolio included wireless telecommunications, utilities, and metals and mining. The Fund's top performing holding was Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold, the world's largest copper producer. The bond generated solid gains as copper prices rose sharply. Other top contributors included low-cost wireless provider MetroPCS and independent power producer NRG Energy. On the downside, some of the Fund's lower coupon holdings weighed on performance with the upward move in Treasury rates. Generally, bonds with lower coupons exhibit greater price sensitivity to a change in rates than higher coupon bonds. Examples include Ball Corp and Omnicare. Both issues have coupons of 6.875% and were more sensitive to the upward move in Treasury rates than the Fund's other holdings.

Outlook

We believe the current leveraged buyout boom could eventually plant the seeds for the next bear market in high yield bonds. In June, a few of those seeds began sprouting — four large, aggressively structured private equity deals hit the high yield market simultaneously, and investors responded with overwhelmingly negative sentiment. Some of these deals were downsized or came under significantly revised terms, while some were cancelled for the time being. In the aftermath, investors were left wondering how the market will fare when a wave of even larger bond deals is expected to be issued this fall. Despite the increased volatility since the end of the quarter, we believe that global economic growth is generally intact and the fundamentals of our holdings continue to be positive. While it is never pleasant to experience the re-pricing now underway, it should ultimately lead to better terms for the bonds we consider and provide us with some attractive opportunities in the secondary market to pursue on behalf of the Fund. We have the Fund defensively positioned through exposure to bank debt, floating rate notes and BB and B-rated credits and will take a cautious and conservative approach to investing in both new issues and other opportunities we uncover.

Thank you for your continued interest in the Fund.

Sincerely,

The New America High Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(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. 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 $7,214,000 and a value of $90,000, are valued in good faith at fair market value using methods determined by the Board of Directors.

(b)  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.

(c)  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.

(d)  New Accounting Pronouncements—Effective June 29, 2007, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, a clarification of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 establishes financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 applies to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the financial statements of the Fund.

In September 2006, the FASB released the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 ("FAS 157"), Fair Value Measurements. FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value and establishes the framework for measuring fair value, as well as proper disclosure of this methodology in the financial statements. It will be effective for the Fund's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. Management is evaluating the effects of FAS 157; however it is not expected to have a material impact on the Fund's net assets or results of operations.

(2) Tax Matters and Distributions

At June 30, 2007, the total cost of securities (including temporary cash investments) for federal income tax purposes was approximately $339,411,000. Aggregate gross unrealized gain on securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was approximately $4,882,000. Aggregate unrealized loss on securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was approximately $11,753,000. Net unrealized loss on investments for tax purposes at June 30, 2007 was approximately $6,871,000.

At December 31, 2006, 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  
$ 35,581,000     December 31, 2007  
  21,821,000     December 31, 2008  
  67,043,000     December 31, 2009  
  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  
$ 179,631,000      

 

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 $26,777,000 and $24,790,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively, was from ordinary income.

As of December 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were approximately:

Undistributed Net Investment Income   $ 411,000    
Undistributed Long-Term Gain        
Unrealized Gain   $ 1,946,000    
Capital Losses Carry Forward   $ (179,631,000 )  

 

The difference between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in


25



The New America High Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — Continued
June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)

the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to market discount adjustments, and deductibility of preferred stock dividends. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund reclassed $1,412,000 between undistributed income and accumulated net realized losses from transactions relating to permanent differences between financial and tax reporting.

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 beginning January 1, 2001. This new accounting policy 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.

(3) Investment Advisory Agreement

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price), the Fund's Investment Advisor, earned approximately $586,000 in management fees during the six months ended June 30, 2007. 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 a tributable to the Fund's common and auction term preferred stock. At June 30, 2007, the fee payable to T. Rowe Price was approximately $97,000, which was included in accrued expenses on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities.

(4) Auction Term Preferred Stock (ATP)

The Fund had 5,200 shares of ATP issued and outstanding at June 30, 2007. 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 5.22% – 5.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The average dividend rate as of June 30, 2007 was 5.25%.

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 as auction agent 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 $174,000 for service charges for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This amount is included under the caption preferred and auction fees in the accompanying statement of operations.

(6) Interest Rate Swaps

The Fund entered into an interest payment swap arrangement with Fleet National Bank (Fleet) 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 Fleet on a monthly basis at a fixed annual rate. In exchange for such payment Fleet makes payments to the Fund on a monthly basis at a variable rate determined with reference to one month LIBOR. The variable rate remained constant at 5.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. 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       $130 million       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, 2007, the Fund's obligations under the swap agreements were less than the amount received from Fleet by approximately $1,010,000 and such amount is included in the accompanying statement of operations.

The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreement at June 30, 2007 amounted to approximately $4,203,000 of unrealized gain and is presented in the accompanying balance sheet.

(7) Purchases and Sales of Securities

Purchases and proceeds of sales or maturities of long-term securities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were approximately:

Cost of purchases   $ 124,280,000    
Proceeds of sales or maturities   $ 129,271,000    

 

(8) Related Party Transactions

A partner of Goodwin Procter LLP, counsel to the Fund, serves as a Director of the Fund. Fees earned by Goodwin Procter LLP amounted to approximately $49,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

The Fund paid approximately $146,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to two officers of the Fund for the provision of certain administrative services.

(10) Rights Offering

The Fund issued to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 24, 2007, rights to subscribe for an aggregate of 32,143,181 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of the Fund. One right was issued for each three full shares of common stock beneficially held on the record date. Due to market conditions the Fund extended the expiration date of its transferable rights offering from August 20, 2007 to September 17, 2007. Each right entitles its holder to purchase one new share at a price equal to the lower of: (i) 94% of the average of the last reported sales price of a share on the New York stock Exchange on the expiration date (September 17, 2007) and on the previous 9 business days, and (ii) 94% of the NAV per share as of the close of business on the expiration date. In addition the deferred offering expense of approximately $572,000 will be netted against the rights offering proceeds.

Conflicts of Interest

Portfolio managers at T. Rowe Price typically manage multiple accounts.  These accounts may include, among others, mutual funds, separate accounts (assets managed on behalf of institutions such as pension funds, colleges and universities, foundations), and commingled trust accounts.  Portfolio managers make investment decisions for each portfolio based on the investment objectives, policies, practices and other relevant investment considerations that the managers believe are applicable to that portfolio.  Consequently, portfolio managers may purchase (or sell) securities for one portfolio and not another portfolio.   T. Rowe Price has adopted brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures which it believes are reasonably designed to address any potential conflicts associated with managing multiple accounts for multiple clients.  Also, as disclosed under the “Portfolio Manager’s Compensation” section, our portfolio managers’ compensation is determined in the same manner with respect to all portfolios managed by the portfolio manager.

3




Item 8(a)(3)

Compensation:

Portfolio manager compensation consists primarily of a base salary, a cash bonus, and an equity incentive that usually comes in the form of a stock option grant. Occasionally, portfolio managers will also have the opportunity to participate in venture capital partnerships. Compensation is variable and is determined based on the following factors.

Investment performance over one-, three-, five-, and 10-year periods is the most important input. We evaluate performance in absolute, relative, and risk-adjusted terms. Relative performance and risk-adjusted performance are determined with reference to the broad based index (ex. CS First Boston High Yield) and an applicable Lipper index (ex. High Current Yield Funds Average), though other benchmarks may be used as well. Investment results are also compared to comparably managed funds of competitive investment management firms.

Performance is primarily measured on a pre-tax basis though tax-efficiency is considered and is especially important for tax efficient funds. It is important to note that compensation is viewed with a long term time horizon. The more consistent a manager’s performance over time, the higher the compensation opportunity.  The increase or decrease in a fund’s assets due to the purchase or sale of fund shares is not considered a material factor.

Contribution to our overall investment process is an important consideration as well. Sharing ideas with other portfolio managers, working effectively with and mentoring our younger analysts, and being good corporate citizens are important components of our long term success and are highly valued.

All employees of T. Rowe Price, including portfolio managers, participate in a 401(k) plan sponsored by T. Rowe Price Group. In addition, all employees are eligible to purchase T. Rowe Price common stock through an employee stock purchase plan that features a limited corporate matching contribution. Eligibility for and participation in these plans is on the same basis as for all employees.  Finally, all vice presidents of T. Rowe Price Group, including all portfolio managers, receive supplemental medical/hospital reimbursement benefits.

This compensation structure is used for all portfolios managed by the portfolio manager.
