PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW
 
SECOND QUARTER
 
2011


 
 

 

Letter from the CEOs                                                                                                                                        As of August 29, 2011


Dear investor in ICON Income Fund Ten, LLC:

We write to briefly summarize our activity for the second 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 second quarter of 2011, we made distributions in the aggregate amount of $555,562.

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 April 29, 2011, we sold the cranes on lease to WPS, Inc. to Louisiana Machinery Company, LLC and received net proceeds of approximately $197,000.  We received a cash-on-cash return of approximately 191% in rental and sale proceeds related to this investment.
 
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

Second Quarter 2011 Portfolio Overview

 
We are pleased to present ICON Income Fund Ten, LLC’s (the “Fund”) Portfolio Overview for the second 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.
 
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 June 30, 2011, our portfolio consisted primarily of the following investments.
 
·  
A 35.70% interest in the M/V Eagle Carina (“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 on November 14, 2013.
 
·  
A 35.70% interest in the M/V Eagle Corona (“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 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 for the aggregate purchase price of 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.

·  
Hospital bedside entertainment and communication terminals that were subject to lease with Premier Telecom Contracts Limited (“Premier”).  The equipment was purchased for approximately $13,945,000 and the lease was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012.  On January 30, 2009, the lease with Premier was restructured in exchange for control of the parent company of Premier, Pretel Group Limited (“Pretel”), until such time as our expected return on this investment is achieved.  On December 31, 2010, the lease financing with Premier was terminated in consideration for shares in Pretel equal to the outstanding balance of the lease financing.  In January 2011, we sold 25% of Pretel to its new Chief Executive Officer for £100,000.
 
·  
Two container vessels, the M/V Dubai Star, (f/k/a the M/V ZIM Korea) and the M/V China Star (f/k/a the M/V 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, through our wholly owned subsidiaries, 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.
 
·  
A 49% interest in the M/T Mayon Spirit (the “Mayon Spirit”), an Aframax product tanker which was purchased for approximately $40,250,000.  The purchase price was comprised of approximately $15,312,000 in cash and a non-recourse loan in the amount of approximately $24,938,000.  The Mayon Spirit was subject to a forty-eight month bareboat charter with affiliates of Teekay Corporation, which expired in July 2011.  On July 25, 2011, we partially satisfied approximately $2,000,000 of the non-recourse loan obligations in connection with the Mayon Spirit. Our Manager is currently remarketing the Mayon Spirit for sale.

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 $5,556 and $21,213 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  Additionally, our Manager’s interest in our net loss was $37,853 and $73,626 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
