Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment, including amortization of assets recorded under capital leases, was $156 million and $166 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, property and equipment included approximately $150 million and $130 million, respectively, of capital lease assets primarily consisting of buildings and leasehold improvements, net of $65 million and $59 million, respectively, of accumulated depreciation and amortization.

In April 2014, we completed the sale of certain land and easement rights to a related party in connection with a timeshare project. In addition, the related party acquired the rights to the name, plans, designs, contracts and other documents related to the timeshare project. The total consideration received for this transaction was approximately $37 million. We recognized $13 million, net of tax, as a capital contribution within additional paid-in capital, representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration received over the carrying value of the assets sold.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we completed the sale of one hotel for approximately $4 million and a vacant parcel of land for approximately $6 million. As a result of these sales, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $12 million, including the reclassification of a currency translation adjustment of $4 million, which was previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The gain was included in other gain (loss), net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we acquired a parcel of land for $28 million, which we previously leased under a long-term ground lease.
