GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Goodwill
BancShares applied the acquisition method of accounting for the CIT Merger. The fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the purchase price. Consequently, there was a gain on acquisition (and no goodwill) related to the CIT Merger as discussed further in Note 2 — Business Combinations.
BancShares’ annual impairment test, conducted as of July 31 each year, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that may trigger a decline in the value of the reporting unit or otherwise indicate that a potential impairment exists, resulted in no indication of goodwill impairment. Subsequent to the annual impairment test, there were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate goodwill should be tested for impairment during the interim period between annual tests. BancShares had goodwill of $346 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021. The entire amount of goodwill relates to business combinations that BancShares completed prior to the CIT Merger and is reported in the General Banking segment. There was no goodwill impairment during 2022, 2021 or 2020.

Intangible Liability
An intangible liability of $52 million was recorded in other liabilities for net below market lessor lease contract rental rates related to the rail portfolio as a result of the CIT Merger. This lease intangible is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, thereby increasing rental income (a component of noninterest income) over the remaining term of the lease agreements.
The following tables summarize the activity for the intangible liability for the year ended December 31, 2022.
