Item 1 Report to Shareholders
August 4, 2006
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
We are pleased to present to our shareholders the semi-annual report for the period ending June 30, 2006. The first half of 2006 has been relatively uneventful.
The market price of the Fund's shares increased from $2.03 to $2.15 during the six month period. Annualizing the monthly dividend during the period of $.0175 at the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") closing market price of $2.15 on June 30th would produce a dividend yield of 9.77%. Based upon the Fund's market price and dividends earned for the six month period, the Fund's shares earned a total return of 10.28%. The Credit Suisse High Yield Index had a total return of 3.49% for the six months ended June 30th.
The Fund's monthly dividend was unchanged at $.0175 per share. The regular monthly dividend has continued unchanged for forty one months. Of course, future portfolio results and market conditions will determine the actual dividend paid. As our long-time shareholders know, the Fund has paid a special dividend in lieu of a regular monthly dividend in January for a number of years. Our policy in the past and currently is to pay dividends derived solely from the income earned by the portfolio during the year.
The Fund's net asset value (the "NAV") declined from $2.13 at the beginning of the year to $2.11 on June 30th. Based upon the Fund's NAV and the dividends earned during the six month period, the Fund's total return was 3.17%, slightly behind the Credit Suisse High Yield Index total return of 3.49% for the period.
As of August 4, 2006, the Fund's closing stock price on the NYSE was $2.20, which represented a 4.2% premium to the NAV of $2.11.
The Fund's use of leverage, in the form of Auction Term Preferred Stock (the "ATP"), is a key part of its strategy. In normal market conditions, leverage enables the Fund to pay a higher common stock dividend than it would otherwise be able to pay because the dividends paid to the ATP shareholder are lower than the income earned on the high yield bonds purchased with the funds derived from the issuance of the ATP. The ATP dividend is set in an auction process each month and generally floats around one month LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate), a widely used money market reference rate. The difference between the ATP dividend and the earnings on the high yield portfolio varies with changes in market conditions. In the first six months of the year, the dividend paid on the ATP has increased from 4.25% to 5.20%. Fortunately, the Fund has been largely shielded from this increase in ATP dividend expense by an interest rate swap that Fund management entered into in November 2004 in anticipation of higher interest rates. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Fund pays 3.775% on a notional amount equal to the amount of the ATP outstanding and receives a floating rate of one month LIBOR. To the extent LIBOR exceeds 3.775%, as it did during the period, the Fund receives the difference, which can be used to offset increases in the ATP dividend. If LIBOR is less than 3.775%, the Fund pays the difference to the swap counterparty. The swap agreement expires in November 2009.
Approximately 23% of taxable income is derived from the successful use of leverage and the interest rate swap. As of June 30th, the Fund had total net assets of approximately $330 million of which $130 million are assets applicable to the Fund's ATP and the remainder are assets applicable to the Fund's common stock.
The ATP has a AAA rating by Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and Fitch, Inc. (the "Rating Agencies"). In order to maintain these ratings, the Fund must adhere to very strict quality and diversification guidelines, among other restrictions. As noted above, in favorable conditions, leverage enables the Fund to pay a higher common stock dividend. Leverage also magnifies the volatility of the NAV. In a strong high yield market, the Fund's NAV may increase more than it would if the Fund had no leverage. However, in poor market conditions, the Fund's NAV may decline more than the high yield market due to the leverage . In such an environment, the Fund may have to reduce its leverage and perhaps the common stock dividend as well in order to maintain compliance with the Rating Agencies' requirements.

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 share price and dividends will tend to differ from those derived from the underlying change in net asset value and dividends.
While the recent past has been a period of relative stability and satisfactory results, there is no guarantee we will continue to enjoy such a favorable market environment.
We wish to advise our shareholders that the Fund's Board of Directors and employees are independent of the Fund's investment adviser, T. Rowe Price Associates ("TRP"). None of the directors or employees receives any compensation from the investment adviser. TRP presents an update on the high yield market and its strategy below.
High Yield Market Update
As measured by the Credit Suisse High Yield Index (the "Index"), the high yield market posted a 3.49% gain for the first six months of 2006. After delivering a 3.0% return in the first quarter, results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 were closer to breakeven, with the asset class negatively impacted by higher interest rates and widening credit spreads. The first-quarter's momentum extended into April as the yield spread between the Index and US Treasury bonds reached a low point of 300 basis points. The yield spread between the Index and US Treasuries is a measure of the compensation investors require to accept the credit risk and illiquidity of high yield bonds. In May and June, however, investors began to grow increasingly concerned that higher interest rates would eventually begin to slow the U.S. economy. This caused spreads for below-investment grade bonds to readjust to 355 basis points on average by quarter-end. In spite of these negative developments, performance for the high yield market was respectable relative to other volatile, high risk asset classes such as emerging markets bonds and small cap stocks.
Lower quality bonds in our universe continued to outpace higher rated securities, as market participants remained confident in near-term credit trends for the vast majority of high yield issuers. The supply of new issues picked up in the second quarter, although the volume was not sufficient to cover demand driven by coupon payments and bonds which have been matured, called or upgraded to investment grade. More volatile sectors like autos delivered positive returns, and very few companies in the high yield market ran into any serious financial problems. Year-to-date only four high yield issuers have defaulted on their bonds. Although there is no assurance, if this pace continues through year-end, the high yield market default rate may fall to 1% for all of 2006.
Strategy Update
Private equity activity brought what we viewed as a number of good opportunities for the portfolio during the second quarter. We added four major leveraged buyout (LBO) positions with the most significant new name being Nordic Telecom (TDC). TDC is the incumbent phone carrier in Denmark, and was taken private by a consortium of leading sponsors late last year. Its strong competitive position and high quality assets make it an attractive high
2
yield investment in our opinion. Other deals we purchased include Nutro, a producer of high-end pet food; Education Management, an owner and operator of for-profit colleges and universities; and IPayment, a financial services company that provides credit card processing to small businesses.
While we continue to be encouraged by the health of our companies from a credit perspective, we have become more cautious about the asset class as a whole. For the last three years, we have run the portfolio with a significant overweighting in medium quality B-rated bonds. This part of the market has provided high current income as well as meaningful capital appreciation during the bull market cycle. BB-rated bonds, by contrast, have lagged significantly as interest rates have moved up, and today, the yield spread between BB-rated and B-rated bonds is at a historical low. In short, we feel investors are not being sufficiently compensated for taking added credit risk with lower quality bonds. We have therefore begun to incrementally rotate the portfolio into a larger allocation to BB-rated credits. One of the reasons we like many BB-rated bonds today is that the recent vintage of higher quality new deals has traded down five to ten percent in principal value, and they can be acquired at attractive discounts versus prices that prevailed just a few months ago.
Outlook
U.S. investors may spend the next several months pondering whether our economy will experience a hard or soft landing, caused by higher interest rates and energy prices. Recent economic data, particularly related to employment trends and the real estate market, indicate that some softness is already evident. Given how important the appreciation of housing values has been to U.S. consumers in this current expansion, the recent cooling in residential real estate is a cause for concern. We think it's still too early to sound the warnings about a recession or a sharp correction in the high yield market. In fact, a move to a more conservative strategy may be premature. However, our job is to manage the portfolio from a long-term perspective, and recognizing the bull market in high yield bonds will celebrate its fourth anniversary in September, a more sober approach seems prudent for the remainder of 2006.
Thank you for your continued interest in the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
(1) Significant Accounting and Other Policies
The New America High Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was organized as a corporation in the state of Maryland on November 19, 1987 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a diversified, closed-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund commenced operations on February 26, 1988. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide high current income while seeking to preserve stockholders' capital through investment in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of "high yield" fixed-income securities.
The Fund invests primarily in fixed maturity corporate debt securities that are rated less than investment grade. Risk of loss upon default by the issuer is significantly greater with respect to such securities compared to investment grade securities because these securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer and because these issuers usually have high levels of indebtedness and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as a recession, than are investment grade issuers. In some cases, the collection of principal and timely receipt of interest is dependent upon the issuer attaining improved operating results, selling assets or obtaining additional financing.
The Fund may focus its investments in certain industries, subjecting it to greater risk than a Fund that is more diversified. See the schedule of investments for information on individual securities as well as industry diversification and credit quality ratings.
The Fund's financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for investment companies that require the management of the Fund to, among other things, make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund, which are in conformity with those generally accepted in the investment company industry.
(a) Valuation of InvestmentsInvestments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value, which is determined by using the most recently quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service or principal market maker. Independent pricing services provide market quotations based primarily on quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, accessing data from quotations services, offering sheets obtained from dealers and various relationships between securities. 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 $0, are valued in good faith at fair market value using methods determined by the Board of Directors.
(b) Securities Transactions and Net Investment IncomeSecurities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is accrued on a daily basis. Discount on short-term investments is amortized to investment income. Premiums or discounts on corporate debt securities are amortized based on the interest method for financial reporting purposes. All income on original issue
22
The New America High Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements Continued
June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
discount and step interest bonds is accrued based on the effective interest method. The Fund does not amortize market premiums or discounts for tax purposes. Dividend payments received in the form of additional securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date.
(c) Federal Income TaxesIt is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders each year. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.
(2) Tax Matters and Distributions
At June 30, 2006, the total cost of securities (including temporary cash investments) for federal income tax purposes was approximately $334,581,000. Aggregate gross unrealized gain on securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was approximately $2,465,000. Aggregate unrealized loss on securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was approximately $15,894,000. Net unrealized loss on investments for tax purposes at June 30, 2006 was approximately $13,429,000
At December 31, 2005, 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 | ||||||
$ | 178,150,000 |
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 $24,790,000 and $23,725,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively, was from ordinary income.
As of December 31, 2005, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were approximately:
Undistributed Net Investment Income | $ | 584,000 | |||||
Undistributed Long-Term Gain | | ||||||
Unrealized Loss | $ | (5,155,000 | ) | ||||
Capital Losses Carry Forward and Post October Losses Deferred | $ | (178,680,000 | ) |
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, and deductibility of preferred stock dividends. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Fund reclassed $1,420,000 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
23
The New America High Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements Continued
June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
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 $571,000 in management fees during the six months ended June 30, 2006. 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, 2006, the fee payable to T. Rowe Price was approximately $94,000, 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, 2006. 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 4.25% 5.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average dividend rate as of June 30, 2006 was 5.13%.
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 $167,000 for service charges for the six months ended June 30, 2006. 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 rates ranged from 4.31% to

5.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. 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, 2006, the Fund's obligations under the swap agreements were less than the amount received from Fleet by approximately $641,000 and such amount is included in the accompanying statement of operations.
The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreement at June 30, 2006 amounted to approximately $7,079,000 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, 2006 were approximately:
Cost of purchases | $ | 99,076,000 | |||||
Proceeds of sales or maturities | $ | 93,611,000 |
(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 $60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The Fund paid approximately $143,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to two officers of the Fund for the provision of certain administrative services.

The Fund intends to effect such redemptions and/or repurchases to the extent necessary to maintain applicable asset coverage requirements.
