This compares to revenue of $32.1 million or $31.0 million, excluding this one-time bad debt recovery where we reached an agreement with a commercial tenant whose arrears were included in bad debt under the new accounting standard first implemented on January 1, 2022. Residential revenue increased by $2.5 million, or 11.5%, driven by higher rental rates and occupancy at all our residential properties. Commercial income decreased $0.9 million as reported, or 8.1%, but increased by $0.2 million, or 2.5%, excluding the one-time recovery of a bad debt reserve. The adjusted increase was due to new commercial leases signed during 2022. For the first quarter of 2023, net loss was $7.1 million, or $0.19 per share compared to net loss of $3.5 millio
