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 connection with Wyndham’s guaranty of achieving a minimum level of annual net operating income, we have recorded $411,000 and $136,000 for the pro rata portion of the projected full-year guaranty for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts are recorded, to the extent available, as a reduction of Wyndham's contractual management and other fees. Any amounts in excess of those fees will be recorded as revenue when earned.
