Nearly all of our revenue is comprised of hotel operating revenues. These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests. We record all rebates or discounts, 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. We make appropriate allowances for doubtful accounts, which we record as bad debt expense. The remainder of our revenue was from condominium management fee income and other sources.

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 $10.8 million through 2015) 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 years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and for March through December 2013 (the first ten months during which Wyndham managed the hotels for FelCor), we have recorded $1.4 million, $1.3 million, and $8.1 million, respectively, for the guaranty as a reduction of Wyndham's contractual management and other fees.
