 of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital, which is risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the reporting unit being tested. The weighted average cost of capital used in our most recent impairment test ranged from 21% to 32.5%. We also applied a market approach, which develops a value correlation based on the market capitalization of similar publicly traded companies, referred to as a multiple, to apply to the operating results of the reporting units. The primary market multiples used are revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The income and market approaches were equally weighted in our most recent annual impairment test, for all of the reporting units.

The combined fair values for all reporting units were then reconciled to our aggregate market value of our shares of common stock on the date of valuation, while considering a reasonable control premium. We consider a reporting unit’s fair value to be substantially in excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value at a 20% premium or greater. Based on our most recent impairment test, the video solutions reporting unit’s fair value was substantially in excess of its carrying value, while the revenue cycle management and entertainment segments were determined to be impaired.

We held goodwill of $5,480,966 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, related to businesses within our revenue cycle management segment. We held goodwill of $6,112,507 and $5,886,548 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to businesses within our entertainment segment. As a result of our September 30, 2024 interim impairment test, we concluded that the carrying amount of the revenue cycle management and the entertainment reporting units exceeded its estimated fair values. Thus, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $4,322,000, related to the goodwill carrying balance for the revenue cycle management segment, and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $307,000, related to the goodwill carrying balance for the entertainment segment, both of which was included in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The goodwill impairment was primarily driven by recent performance of the revenue cycle management and entertainment reporting units since our annual impairment testing date, as well as a delay
