PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW

FIRST QUARTER

2011

Letter from the CEOs As of June 8, 2011

Dear investor in ICON Income Fund Ten, LLC:

We write to briefly summarize our activity for the first quarter of 2011. A more detailed analysis, which we encourage you to read, is contained in our Form 10-Q. Our Form 10-Q and our other quarterly, annual, and current reports are available in the Investor Relations section of our website, www.iconinvestments.com.

Fund Ten entered its liquidation period on May 1, 2010. During the liquidation period, distributions generated from net rental and loan income and proceeds from equipment sales generally fluctuate as remaining leases and loans come to maturity or equipment is sold. During the first quarter of 2011, we made distributions in the aggregate amount of $1,565,672.

Among the assets we own are 35.70% interests in two Aframax product tankers, the M/V Eagle Carina and the M/V Eagle Corona, that are bareboat chartered to AET Inc. Limited, a leading worldwide petroleum shipping company. The bareboat charters are set to expire in November 2013.

On March 29, 2011, Fund Ten sold its portfolio of remaining leases with various United Kingdom lessees to Key Finance Group Limited for approximately $128,000. The majority of the portfolio was comprised of manufacturing and technology equipment, including laptops, desktops and printers.

We invite you to read through our portfolio overview on the pages that follow for a more detailed explanation of the above described investments. As always, thank you for entrusting ICON with your investment assets.

Sincerely,


Michael A. Reisner			Mark Gatto

First Quarter 2011 Portfolio Overview

We are pleased to present ICON Income Fund Ten, LLC’s (the “Fund”) Portfolio Overview for the first quarter of 2011. References to “we,” “us,” and “our” are references to the Fund, and references to the “Manager” are references to the manager of the Fund, ICON Capital Corp.

The Fund

We raised approximately $150,000,000 commencing with our initial offering on June 2, 2003 through the closing of the offering on April 5, 2005.

On May 1, 2010, we entered our liquidation period, which is expected to continue for several years. During the liquidation period, we began the gradual, orderly termination of the Fund’s operations and affairs, and liquidation or disposition of its equipment, leases and financing transactions.

Additionally, during the liquidation period you will receive distributions that are generated from net rental and loan income or equipment sales when realized. In some months, the distribution may be larger than the current distribution, in some months the distribution may be smaller, and in some months there may not be any distribution.

Recent Transaction

·	On April 29, 2011, we sold the cranes on lease to WPS, Inc. to Louisiana Machinery Company, LLC for $329,000. We received a gross cash-on-cash return of approximately 191.17% in rental and sale proceeds related to this investment.

Portfolio Overview

Our portfolio consists of investments that we have made directly, as well as those that we have made with our affiliates. As of March 31, 2011, our portfolio consisted primarily of the following investments.

A 95,639 DWT (deadweight tonnage) Aframax product tanker, the M/V Eagle Carina (“Eagle Carina”), which was purchased from Aframax Tanker II AS by ICON Eagle Carina Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICON Eagle Carina Holdings, LLC, a joint venture owned 35.70% by us and 64.30% by ICON Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC, an entity also managed by our Manager (“Fund Twelve”). The Eagle Carina was acquired for $39,010,000, comprised of $12,010,000 in cash and $27,000,000 in a non-recourse loan. The Eagle Carina is subject to an eighty-four month bareboat charter with AET, Inc. Limited (“AET”) that expires on November 14, 2013.

A 95,634 DWT (deadweight tonnage) Aframax product tanker, the M/V Eagle Corona (“Eagle Corona”), which was purchased from Aframax Tanker II AS by ICON Eagle Corona Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICON Eagle Corona Holdings, LLC, a joint venture owned 35.70% by us and 64.30% by Fund Twelve. The Eagle Corona was acquired for $41,270,000, comprised of $13,270,000 in cash and $28,000,000 in a non-recourse loan. The Eagle Corona is subject to an eighty-four month bareboat charter with AET that expires on November 14, 2013.

Four promissory notes (the “Notes”) that are secured by an underlying pool of leases for point of sale equipment. The Notes were purchased at a significant discount and we received an assignment of the underlying Master Loan and Security Agreement, dated July 28, 2006. The aggregate purchase price for the Notes was approximately $31,573,000. Our share of the purchase price was approximately $3,868,000. Interest on the Notes accrues at rates ranging from 9.47% to 9.90% per year and the Notes are scheduled to mature at various dates between December 15, 2011 and February 15, 2013. On January 1, 2011, we exchanged our 12.25% ownership interest in a joint venture that owned the Notes for an assignment of our proportionate share of the future cash flows from the Notes.

Hospital bedside entertainment and communication terminals that were subject to lease with Premier Telecom Contracts Limited (“Premier”). The terminals are installed in several National Health Service hospitals throughout the United Kingdom. Premier is one of four companies in the United Kingdom to receive the right to install and operate the equipment in hospitals, and it has the exclusive right to install and operate the equipment in thirteen hospitals. We, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, ICON Premier, LLC (“ICON Premier”), purchased the equipment for approximately $13,945,000 and the lease was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012. On January 30, 2009, ICON Premier restructured its lease financing with Premier in exchange for control of the parent company of Premier, Pretel Group Limited (“Pretel”), until such time as ICON Premier receives the expected return on its investment. On December 31, 2010, ICON Premier terminated its lease financing with Premier in consideration for shares in Pretel equal to the outstanding balance of the lease financing. In January 2011, ICON Premier sold 25% of Pretel to its new Chief Executive Officer for £100,000. This sale consisted of 25% of the voting rights of Pretel, including 25% of the existing equity at the close of the sale.

Two 3,350 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) container vessels, the M/V Dubai Star, (the “Dubai Star,” f/k/a the M/V ZIM Korea) and the M/V China Star (the “China Star,” f/k/a the M/V ZIM Canada), that are subject to bareboat charters with ZIM Integrated Shipping Services, Ltd. The purchase price for the two vessels was approximately $70,700,000, comprised of approximately $18,400,000 in cash and approximately $52,300,000 in non-recourse loans. The bareboat charters for the vessels were each scheduled to expire in June 2009. On July 1, 2008, the bareboat charters were extended until June 30, 2014. On July 1, 2009, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, ICON Containership I, LLC (“ICON Containership I”) and ICON Containership II, LLC (“ICON Containership II”), satisfied all of the non-recourse loan obligations with respect to the vessels by repaying the balance due in the amount of $1,350,695, consisting of principal and interest outstanding as of such date. As a result, all charter hire payments are being paid directly to ICON Containership I and ICON Containership II. On October 30, 2009, ICON Containership I and ICON Containership II amended the bareboat charters for the Dubai Star and the China Star to restructure each respective charterer’s payment obligations. The charter for the China Star was extended from June 30, 2014 to March 31, 2017 and the charter for the Dubai Star was extended from June 30, 2014 to March 31, 2016. The purpose of the restructuring was to provide the charterer with additional flexibility while at the same time attempting to preserve our projected economic return on our investment.

A 49% interest in one 98,507 DWT (deadweight tonnage) Aframax product tanker – the M/T Mayon Spirit (the “Mayon Spirit”). We acquired our interest in the vessel through a joint venture with Fund Twelve. The purchase price of the Mayon Spirit was approximately $40,250,000, comprised of approximately $15,312,000 in cash, paid in the form of a capital contribution to the joint venture, and a non-recourse loan in the amount of approximately $24,938,000. Simultaneously with the purchase of the Mayon Spirit, the vessel was bareboat chartered back to an affiliate of Teekay Corporation for a term of forty-eight months, which is scheduled to expire in July 2011. We acquired our interest in the Mayon Spirit for approximately $7,548,000 in cash.

Unguaranteed Residual Interests

We entered into an agreement with Summit Asset Management Limited to acquire a 75% interest in the unguaranteed residual values of a portfolio of equipment on lease with various lessees in the United Kingdom for approximately $2,843,000. The majority of the portfolio is comprised of information technology equipment, including laptops, desktops, and printers. All of the leases expired at various dates through August 2009, but continue to be renewed in accordance with their terms. For the first quarter of 2011, we did not receive any residual proceeds from the sale of equipment. Our target return on this investment has been achieved and we still expect to receive residual proceeds from this portfolio.

Revolving Line of Credit

As of March 31, 2011, the Fund and certain entities managed by our Manager (collectively, the “Borrowers”) were party to a Commercial Loan Agreement, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”), with California Bank & Trust. On May 10, 2011, the Loan Agreement was terminated.

Transactions with Related Parties

Our Manager performs certain services relating to the management of our equipment leasing and other financing activities. Such services include, but are not limited to, the collection of lease payments from the lessees of the equipment or loan payments from borrowers, re-leasing services in connection with equipment which is off-lease, inspections of the equipment, liaising with and general supervision of lessees and borrowers to ensure that the equipment is being properly operated and maintained, monitoring performance by the lessees and borrowers of their obligations under the leases and loans and the payment of operating expenses.

Administrative expense reimbursements were costs incurred by our Manager or its affiliates that were necessary to our operations. These costs included our Manager’s and its affiliates’ legal, accounting, investor relations, and operations personnel costs, as well as professional fees and other costs that were charged to us based upon the percentage of time such personnel dedicated to us. Excluded were salaries and related costs, office rent, travel expenses, and other administrative costs incurred by individuals with a controlling interest in our Manager.

Our Manager also has a 1% interest in our profits, losses, cash distributions, and liquidation proceeds. We paid distributions to our Manager in the amount of $15,657 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Additionally, our Manager’s interest in our net loss was $35,773 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Fees and other expenses paid or accrued by us to our Manager or its affiliates were as follows:

			Three Months Ended March 31,
Entity	Capacity	Description	2011		2010
ICON Capital Corp.	Manager	Management fees (1)	$	125,094	$	229,085
