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. 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.

Wyndham has guaranteed minimum levels of annual net operating income at each of the hotels it manages for us. We recorded $1.3 million and $524,000 for the pro rata portions of the projected aggregate full-year guaranties for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively (of which $258,000 and $93,000 is attributable to the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively). We record these amounts as a reduction of Wyndham's contractual management and other fees.
