Nearly all of our revenue is comprised of hotel operating revenue. These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests. All rebates or discounts are recorded, when allowed, as a reduction in revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates or discounts offered by us. All revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, as earned. Appropriate allowances are made for doubtful accounts, which are recorded as a bad debt expense. Hotel departmental expenses from continuing operations were comprised of the following (in thousands):

Hotel Operating Revenue, Departmental Expenses, and Other Property-Related Costs — (continued)

In March 2013, we rebranded and transitioned management at eight core hotels located in strategic markets to Wyndham brands. Wyndham's parent guaranteed a minimum level of net operating income for each year of the initial ten-year term, subject to an aggregate $100 million limit over the term and an annual $21.5 million limit. Amounts recorded under the guaranty will be accounted for, to the extent available, as a reduction in contractual management and other fees paid and payable to Wyndham. Any amounts in excess of those fees will be recorded as revenue when earned. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we have recorded a $431,000 and $2.7 million, respectively, pro rata portion of the projected full-year guaranty (of which $295,000 and $2.3 million is for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively) as a reduction of Wyndham's contractual management and other fees.
