____________________________________________________________
(1)Reflects the impact of consolidating the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of Ajax Mortgage Loan Trust 2017-D ("2017-D"), which is 50% owned by third-party institutional investors.
(2)Interest income on investment in debt securities and beneficial interests issued by our joint ventures is net of servicing fees.
(3)Net decrease in the net present value of expected credit losses represents the net decrease to the allowance resulting from changes in actual and expected cash flows during the quarter. It represents the net increase of the present value of the expected cash flows in excess of contractual cash flows offset by any incremental provision expense on the Mortgage loan pools and Beneficial interests. The decrease is calculated at the pool level for Mortgage loans and at the security level for Beneficial interests. To the extent a pool or Beneficial interest has an associated allowance, the decrease in expected credit losses is recorded in the period in which the change occurs, otherwise it is recognized prospectively as an increase in yield.
(4)Total revenue includes net interest income, income from equity method investments and other income.
(5)Average equity includes the effect of an aggregate of $34.6 million of preferred stock for the three months ended September 30, 2022, 93.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $115.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021.
(6)Average daily cash balance includes cash and cash equivalents, and excludes cash held in trust.
(7)For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the average daily cash balance excludes $9.4 million of funds on deposit in a non-interest bearing account which closed on August 20, 2021. Including the $9.4 million on deposit, average daily cash was $94.4 million.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we had a GAAP consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(16.2) million or $(0.71) per common share after preferred dividends. Operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure which adjusts GAAP earnings by removing unrealized gains and losses as well as certain other non-core expenses and preferred dividends, was $3.1 million or $0.14 per common share. We consider Operating income to provide a useful measure for comparing the results of our ongoing operations over multiple quarters. For a reconciliation of Operating income to consolidated net loss/income available to common stockholders, please refer to Appendix B.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased and retired $66.0 million face amount of our preferred stock and associated warrants for our common stock in a series of repurchase transactions. The repurchase of the preferred stock caused the recognition of $5.7 million of GAAP preferred stock discount expense and the repurchase of the warrants accelerated future GAAP accretion expense on the warrant's put option liability of $8.8 million for a total of $14.5 million in charges related to the repurchases. The repurchase of the preferred stock will save us approximately $3.9 million annually in
preferred dividends while the repurchase of the warrants will reduce future put option accretion expense by $8.0 million annually for a total annual savings of $11.9 million.
Our interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 excluding any adjustment for expected credit losses was $8.7 million, a decrease of $3.1 million over the prior quarter. Gross interest income decreased $0.9 million as a result of a lower average balance of our mortgage loan portfolio during the quarter and lower yields on our beneficial interests due to duration expansion as higher interest rates are expected to reduce prepayments from refinancing. Our interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.2 million compared to the prior quarter primarily as a result of rate increases on our floating rate repurchase financing facilities and interest expense on our new unsecured debt deal.
We generally acquire loans at a discount and record an allowance for expected credit losses at acquisition. We update the allowance quarterly based on changing cash flow expectations in accordance with the current expected credit losses accounting standard, otherwise known as CECL. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we recorded income of $1.9 million due to the decrease in the net present value of expected future credit losses partially driven by higher than expected payments in full on our mortgage loan portfolio during the quarter compared to $1.0 million of income recorded for the second quarter.
We recorded a loss from our investments in affiliates of $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The loss is partially due to the flow through impact of mark to market losses on shares of our stock held by our Manager and our Servicer. We account for our investments in our Manager and our Servicer using the equity method of accounting.
Our GAAP expenses decreased on a quarter over quarter basis by $1.2 million primarily due to a $0.7 million decrease in amortization of our put option liability on our remaining outstanding warrants. Additionally the repurchase of our preferred stock contributed to a decrease in our management fee expense by $0.4 million due to a decline in our average common and preferred equity.
We recorded $22.0 thousand in recoveries on our REO held-for-sale portfolio in real estate operating expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. We sold nine properties in the third quarter for a gain of $0.8 million and nine properties were added to REO held-for-sale through foreclosures or through direct purchase.
We ended the quarter with a GAAP book value of $13.75 per common share, compared to a book value per common share of $14.98 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in book value is driven primarily by a mark to market loss on our investments in debt securities, acceleration of discount on the retirement of our preferred stock and warrants, and our GAAP loss for the quarter.
Our taxable income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $0.26 per share of net income available to common stockholders, compared to $0.36 per share of taxable net income available to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Additionally, we recorded income tax expense of $2.4 million comprised of $1.7 million of income tax on our undistributed 2021 taxable income and $0.7 million of tax on income earned in our taxable REIT subsidiaries.
We collected $57.8 million of cash during the third quarter as a result of loan payments, loan payoffs, sales of REO, and cash collections on our securities portfolio to end the quarter with $72.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. Cash collections of $44.7 million were derived from our mortgage loan and REO portfolios as a result of loan payments, loan payoffs, and sales of REO during the quarter, and $13.1 million were derived from interest and principal payments on investments in debt securities and beneficial interests.
On August 26, 2022, we issued $110.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% unsecured senior notes due 2027 in a private offering. We used the majority of the proceeds from the offering to repurchase and retire some of our outstanding Series A and Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Preferred Stock at a discount, as well as the associated warrants, and retained the remainder for general corporate purposes.
We purchased 34 RPLs with UPB of $9.1 million at 42.3% of property value and 90.4% of UPB and three NPLs with UPB of $0.4 million at 52.4% of property value and 69.2% of UPB. These loans were acquired and included on our consolidated balance sheet for a weighted average of 55 days of the quarter.

(1)Net decrease in the net present value of expected credit losses represents the net decrease to the allowance resulting from changes in actual and expected cash flows during the quarters ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. It represents the net increase of the present value of the expected cash flows in excess of contractual cash flows offset by any incremental provision expense on the Mortgage loan pools and Beneficial interests. The decrease is calculated at the pool level for Mortgage loans and at the security level for Beneficial interests.
