Letter from the CEOs                                                                                                                                            As of July 6, 2012


Dear investor in ICON Income Fund Ten, LLC:

We write to briefly summarize our activity for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.  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.

As of March 31, 2012, Fund Ten was in its liquidation period.  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 2012, we made distributions in the amount of $5,555,600.

Among the assets we own are 35.70% interests in two Aframax product tankers, the Eagle Carina and the 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.
 
 
We invite you to read through our portfolio overview on the pages that follow for a more detailed explanation of the investments noted above as well as more information regarding Fund Ten’s operations to date. As always, thank you for entrusting ICON with your investment assets.

Sincerely,
 
   
Michael A. Reisner

First Quarter 2012 Portfolio Overview


 
We are pleased to present ICON Income Fund Ten, LLC’s (the “Fund”) Portfolio Overview for the first quarter of 2012.  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 more 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, in some months the distribution may be smaller, and in some months there may not be any distribution.
 
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, 2012, our portfolio consisted primarily of the following investments:
 
·  
A 35.70% interest in the Eagle Carina, an Aframax product tanker, which was purchased for $39,010,000.  The purchase price was 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 in November 2013.

·  
A 35.70% interest in the Eagle Corona, an Aframax product tanker, which was purchased for $41,270,000.  The purchase price was 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 in November 2013.
 
·  
We made a term loan to affiliates of Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. (“Northern Leasing”) in the amount of approximately $3,868,000.  The loan was secured by various pools of leases for point of sale equipment and a limited guaranty from Northern Leasing of up to 10% of the loan amount.  The loan accrued interest at rates ranging from 9.47% to 9.90% per year, was scheduled to mature at various dates through February 2013, and, on May 2, 2012, was satisfied prior to its maturity date.  During the term of this investment, we collected approximately $5,089,000 in loan proceeds.
 
·  
Two container vessels, the Dubai Star (f/k/a the ZIM Korea) and the China Star (f/k/a the ZIM Canada), that are subject to bareboat charters with ZIM Integrated Shipping Services, Ltd. through March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively.  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.  We satisfied all of the non-recourse loan obligations with respect to the container vessels and, as a result, all charter hire payments are being paid directly to us.

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