Item 1 - Report to Shareholders
August 5, 2015
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, 2015. The Fund's net asset value (the "NAV") was $10.19 as of June 30th. The market price for the Fund's shares ended the period at $8.77, representing a market price discount of 13.9%. During the period the Fund's regular monthly dividend remained at $.065 per share. The annualized dividend yield for a common stock purchase at the year-end 2014 price of $8.94 was 8.7%.
Interest rate risk is one of the risks faced by the Fund's shareholders. After a prolonged period of low rates, statements from the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") indicate that the Fed may soon begin to raise interest rates. We do not know the timing or the magnitude of a potential change in interest rates. Fixed income markets have recently experienced increased volatility due, in part, to investors' concerns about the impact of increased interest rates on the prices of fixed income instruments. However, bonds react differently to changing rates. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's price to a change in rates. Duration takes into account a bond's maturity and coupon. A relatively short maturity shortens duration as does a relatively high coupon. A short bond duration indicates less sensitivity to changes in interest rates. High yield bonds have relatively lower durations compared to investment grade bonds, resulting in less price volatility in changing rate environments. It is also noteworthy that a change in Fed policy to higher interest rates indicates confidence in the strength of the U.S. economy. A stable to improving economy is beneficial to high yield companies.
As of June 30th, the Fund had borrowed $90 million through its credit facility (the "Facility") with the Bank of Nova Scotia, unchanged over the last year. Amounts borrowed under the Facility bear interest at an adjustable rate based on a margin above LIBOR. The interest rate on the Facility at the end of the period was 1.08%, which offered an attractive spread relative to the 7.01% market value-weighted average current yield on the Fund's portfolio on June 30th. An increase in the cost of the leverage or reduction in the portfolio's yield will reduce the spread and may reduce the income available for the common dividend. The Fund's leverage contributed approximately 23% of the common stock dividend year-to-date.
As always, we remind shareholders that there is no certainty that the dividend will remain at the current level. The dividend can be affected by portfolio results, the cost and amount of leverage, market conditions, how fully invested the portfolio is and operating expenses among other factors. Leverage magnifies the effect of price movements on the net asset value. The Fund's leverage has increased the Fund's total return in the recent period of positive high yield market performance. Of course the opposite would be true in an unfavorable high yield market.
As discussed below, the Fund's investment advisor has adopted a somewhat cautious outlook on the high yield bond market. There are positive underpinnings to the market, but the Fund's portfolio is not immune to the potential volatility resulting from investors withdrawing assets from high yield mutual funds due to rate concerns and fall-out from political or economic news abroad.

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. The variance between the Fund's total return based on stock price and dividends and the total return based on the Fund's NAV and dividends is due to the widening of the stock price discount to the NAV over the last year.
Market Review
High yield bonds generated gains for the first half of the year, posting a total return of 2.9%, as measured by the Credit Suisse High Yield Index (the "Index"). Continuing a seasonal pattern investors have seen in recent years, high yield bond prices declined late in the second quarter. There is no shortage of factors creating volatility in today's market environment, many of which are recycled from prior months or years. Concerns about the Greek debt crisis, the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies, and weaker oil prices all negatively impacted investors' outlook at the end of the quarter.
The Federal Reserve did not raise interest rates at its June policy meeting; however, many market analysts believe that generally strong U.S. economic data will lead the central bank to begin tightening monetary policy before the end of the year. As a result of these concerns, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note increased from less than 2.00% in March to nearly 2.50% in early Junethe highest level in 2015before falling to 2.35% at the end of the period as demand for safe-haven assets increased.
The energy sector continued its rebound from the first quarter but languished in June while metals and mining names, particularly in the coal industry, have yet to recover from last year's weakness. From a quality perspective, B rated bonds were well positioned to outperform as rising Treasury yields weighed on higher quality issues and general risk-aversion sentiment impacted lower-rated credits. The average yield spread-to-worst for the Index tightened by 29 basis points over the prior six months and finished the period at 535 basis points over U.S. Treasuries. At the end of June, the yield-to-worst on the Index was a relatively attractive 6.86%, compared to the rich valuations in 2013 and the majority of last year.
According to J.P. Morgan, $191.2 billion of new high yield issues was priced in the first half of 2015. Merger and acquisition (M&A) deal volume remained elevated relative to prior years, supporting net new supply to the market while refinancing continues to be a major use of proceeds for new issued debt. High yield bond defaults totaled
2
$13 billion in the first half of 2015, representing 21 issuers. Year-to-date, two-thirds of the companies that defaulted on their debt obligations are energy or metals and mining-related, including credits in the coal industry. The J.P. Morgan par-weighted trailing 12 month default rate increased to 1.88% in June from 1.58% in May, but lower than December's trailing 12 month default rate of 2.96%.
Portfolio Review
Commodity sectors will continue to be an area of focus for the portfolio. After last year's considerable declines, the Fund's investments in the energy industry have been top performers year-to-date. Our primary emphasis on high-quality issuers in the sector has benefited the strategy despite oil price volatility during the first half of the year. Energy industry M&A activity and the portfolio's targeted overweight in names deemed likely to be takeover candidates also resulted in attractive gains. For example, a position in Rosetta Resources, an independent oil and gas producer, traded up sharply following the announcement of its purchase by a strategic investment-grade acquirer. Unlike energy, the metals and mining sector continues to trade lower and an underweight to that sector proved advantageous. Iron ore and the coal industry face headwinds partially stemming from excess global supply and a strong U.S. dollar.
Credit selection in the media/telecom sector also aided relative results. We have positioned our portfolio to benefit from M&A activity in the broad media space. Many media and telecom companies, including wireless, cable, and broadcasting, have executed acquisitions to diversify their service offerings and/or broaden their geographic presence. We believe M&A synergies and credit improvements will likely continue over the next few years, and we continue to overweight media-related sectors to benefit from this trend. Additionally, European names are benefiting from secular growth trends, with many carriers seizing opportunities to bundle multiple service offerings and expand revenues. Charter Communications issued new debt during the period to fund its well-publicized merger with Time Warner Cable and acquisition of Bright House Networks. While there are many moving parts, we believe the combined entity will ultimately be one of significant scale, strong free cash flow generation, and healthier credit profile than the stand-alone Charter Communications is today. Additionally, T-Mobile is benefiting from subscriber growth given its unique marketing strategy and potential as an acquisition target.
Limited exposure to the utilities sector weighed on results. Moreover an overweight to NRG Energy detracted from total return as the bonds traded down alongside natural gas price declines. Regardless, we continue to favor NRG Energy given its geographic diversity and strong free cash flow. Credit selection in the consumer products sector weighed on relative results, largely driven by the Fund's position in Quiksilver. These bonds sold off after weaker than expected second-quarter earnings. The company's profitability remains challenged despite management's claims of future 2016 improvements. We are monitoring the position closely.
Outlook
We are cautious in the near term as several adverse factors are likely to weigh on the high yield market. The market typically experiences reduced liquidity in summer months, and volatile interest rates along with global risks from Greece and China could produce a challenging environment. We believe valuations are attractive at the current high yield market average yields of 7%, and aside from the uncertainty emanating from the energy sector, the fundamentals underpinning the companies in the high yield market appear solid. Issuers have repaired
3
their balance sheets, reduced capital costs, and extended maturities through refinancing activity over the past several years. Increased M&A activity could continue to surprise to the upside given our focus on companies that may be attractive take-over targets, particularly within the energy, health care, and media/telecommunications industries.
We continue to leverage the broad research resources within T. Rowe Price to cast a wide net seeking attractive high yield investment opportunities. As always, we aim to deliver high current income while seeking to limit the impact of volatility inherent in the high yield market on the Fund's portfolio. Our team maintains a commitment to credit research and risk-conscious investing that we believe leads to favorable returns for high yield investors over complete market cycles.
Sincerely,
|

The New America High Income Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2015 (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 follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services Investment Companies". 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 InvestmentsExcept as otherwise described below, the Fund's investments are valued based on evaluated bid prices provided by an independent pricing service. Independent pricing services provide prices based primarily on quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, data accessed from quotations services, offering sheets obtained from dealers and various relationships among similar 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 the fair value of such investments. Following procedures approved by the Board of Directors, investments for which market prices are not yet provided by an independent pricing service (primarily newly issued fixed-income corporate bonds and notes) shall be valued at the most recently quoted bid price provided by a principal market maker for the security. Other investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued in good faith at fair value using methods approved 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 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 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.
29

Notes to Financial Statements Continued
June 30, 2015 (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.

Notes to Financial Statements Continued
June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
The Fund owned one Level 3 security at June 30, 2015. This security appears under Corporate Debt Securities, Chemicals and has a value of zero. The value was determined by the Valuation Committee of the Fund's investment Advisor, T. Rowe Price, under procedures approved by the Board of Directors. The techniques used to arrive at this valuation have taken into account the interim non-tradable position and the uncertainty surrounding the remaining distribution(s), if any. The security will continue to be valued at zero until a distribution has been determined, 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:

|
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, 2015, the Fund recognized no transfers between Levels 1 and 2.
(2) Tax Matters and Distributions
At June 30, 2015, the total cost of securities (including temporary cash investments) for federal income tax purposes was approximately $326,193,000. Aggregate gross unrealized gain on securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was approximately $5,500,000. Aggregate gross unrealized loss on
securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was approximately $9,264,000. Net unrealized loss on investments for tax purposes at June 30, 2015 was approximately $3,764,000.
At December 31, 2014, the Fund had approximate capital loss carryovers available to offset future capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by regulations:

Expiration Date |
||||||
$ |

|||||
26,830,000 |
December 31, 2017 |
||||||
$ |
28,903,000 |
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 shareholders in 2014 and 2013 of approximately $19,513,000 and $20,097,000, respectively, was from ordinary income.
As of December 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were approximately:
Undistributed Ordinary income |
$ |
843,000 |
|||||
Unrealized Loss |
(2,664,000 |
) |
|||||
Capital Losses Carry Forward |

) |
|||||
Investments and Currencies Loss Deferrals |
(2,287,000 |
) |
|||||
$ |
(33,011,000 |
) |
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, 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
31

Notes to Financial Statements Continued

ended December 31, 2014, permanent differences between book and tax accounting have been reclassified as follows:
Increase (decrease) in:
Undistributed net investment income |
$ |
1,881,000 |
|||||
Capital in excess of par value |
$ |
91,000 |
|||||
Accumulated net realized loss from securities transactions |
$ |
(1,972,000 |
) |
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 2011-2013, or expected to be taken in the Fund's 2014 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 $567,000 in management fees during the six months ended June 30, 2015. 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 stock and senior securities. At June 30, 2015, 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) Bank Credit Agreement
The Fund has a credit agreement with The Bank of Nova Scotia pursuant to which the Fund may borrow up to an aggregate amount of $100,000,000. On May 9, 2014 the Fund reduced the facility by $10,000,000 and on June 30, 2015 the total amount outstanding on the loan was $90,000,000. The term of the facility has been extended to October 2015. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at an adjustable rate based on a margin above LIBOR. The rate paid on these borrowings is approximately 1.08% and will be in effect until July 8, 2015 at which time the rate will be reset. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 the weighted average rate on the loan was approximately 1.08% and the maximum amount borrowed during the period was $90,000,000.
The Fund pays a commitment fee to The Bank of Nova Scotia at a rate of .15% per annum for any unused portion of borrowings not to exceed $100,000,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 the Fund paid approximately $7,000 for this commitment.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)
Availability of Portfolio Holdings
The Fund provides a complete schedule of its portfolio holdings quarterly. The lists of holdings as of the end of the second and fourth quarters appear in the Fund's semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders, respectively. The schedules of portfolio holdings as of the end of the first and third quarters are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form N-Q (the "Forms") within 60 days of the end of the first and third quarters. Shareholders can look up the Forms on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. The Forms may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. You may call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information about the SEC's web site and their public reference room. In addition, the Forms may be reviewed on the Fund's web site at www.newamerica-hyb.com.
Compliance with CFTC Regulation of Transactions in Commodity Interests
The Fund does not currently intend to engage in transactions in commodity interests such as futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and swaps. However, the Fund may in the future enter into interest rate transactions, such as swaps, caps, collars and floors for the purpose or with the effect of hedging its portfolio and/or its payment obligations with respect to senior securities. In addition, the Fund has reserved the right, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, to purchase and sell financial futures contracts and options on such futures contracts for the purpose of hedging its portfolio securities (or portfolio securities which it expects to acquire) against anticipated changes in prevailing interest rates. To the extent it engages in transactions in commodity interests, the Fund expects their use to be limited such that the Fund may claim the exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" available under Regulation 4.5 of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission under the Commodity Exchange Act, and will not therefor be subject to regulation as a pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.
Common Stock Transactions
The Fund may purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market when the Common Stock trades at a discount to net asset value or at other times if the Fund determines such purchases are advisable. There can be no assurance that the Fund will take such action in the event of a market discount to net asset value or that Fund purchases will reduce a discount.
