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.

In March 2013, we rebranded and transitioned management at eight 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 10-year term, subject to an aggregate $100 million limit over the term (of which we have received or accrued $8.5 million to date) and an annual $21.5 million limit. Amounts recorded under the guaranty are 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we have recorded $524,000 and $5.2 million, respectively, pro rata portion of the projected full-year guaranty (of which $93,000 and $2.4 million is for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively) as a reduction of Wyndham's contractual management and other fees.
