Intangible assets, net includes above market and in-place lease assets and lease incentives related to the acquisition of real estate assets. Accumulated amortization on intangible assets, net was $27.7 million and $27.0 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The amortization of above market leases and lease incentive assets decreased operating lease income in the Company's consolidated statements of operations by $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Right-of-use lease assets relate primarily to the Company's leases of office space and certain of its ground leases. Right-of use lease assets initially equal the lease liability. The lease liability (see table below) equals the present value of the minimum rental payments due under the lease discounted at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company's incremental secured borrowing rate for similar collateral. For operating leases, lease liabilities were discounted at the Company's weighted average incremental secured borrowing rate for similar collateral estimated to be 5.6% and the weighted average lease term is 9.7 years. For finance leases, lease liabilities were discounted at a weighted average rate implicit in the lease of 5.7% and the weighted average lease term is 97.7 years. Right-of-use assets for finance leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and are recorded in "Depreciation and amortization" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in "Interest expense" and $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in "Depreciation and amortization" in its consolidated statement of operations relating to finance leases. Right-of-use assets for operating leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and are recorded in "General and administrative" and "Real estate expense" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations (refer to Note 3). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in "General and administrative" and $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in "Real estate expense" in its consolidated statement of operations relating to operating leases.
