 is defined above in the “Business Combinations” section. BancShares’ evaluates goodwill for impairment annually as of July 31, 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. BancShares applied the acquisition method of accounting for the SVBB Acquisition and CIT Merger and the fair values of the net assets acquired and core deposit intangibles exceeded the purchase price for each transaction. Consequently, there was a gain on acquisition (and no goodwill) related to the SVBB Acquisition and the CIT Merger.Other finite-lived intangible assets, such as core deposit intangibles, are initially recorded at fair value and are amortized over their average estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists.Refer to further discussion in Note 2—Business Combinations and Note 8—Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangibles.Other Real Estate OwnedOther Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) includes foreclosed real estate property and closed branch properties. Foreclosed real estate property in OREO is initially recorded at the asset’s estimated fair value less costs to sell. Any excess in the recorded investment in the loan over the estimated fair value less costs to sell is charged-off against the ALLL at the time of foreclosure. If the estimated value of the OREO exceeds the recorded investment of the loan, the difference is recorded as a gain within other income.OREO is subsequently carried at LOCOM less estimated selling costs and is evaluated at least annually. The periodic evaluations are generally based on the appraised value of the property and may include additional adjustments based upon management’s review of the valuation estimate and specific knowledge of the property. Routine maintenance costs, income and expenses related to the operation of the foreclosed asset, subsequent declines in market value and net gains or losses on disposal are included in collection and foreclosure-related expense.Premises and EquipmentPremises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Land is carried at cost. Depreciation expense is generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements and finance lease ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the assets. BancShares reviews premises and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, and when an impairment loss is recognized the adjusted carrying amount will be its
