Prior Period Cost Reduction Actions

During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we took steps to improve our future operating results and successfully consolidated our Government Solutions segment’s manufacturing facility located in Tampa, Florida with another facility that we maintain in Orlando, Florida. In doing so, during fiscal 2019, we recorded $1,373,000 of facility exit costs in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As discussed further in Note (9) - "Leases," on August 1, 2019, we adopted Topic 842 and, as required by the new standard, reclassified $568,000 of estimated facility exit costs to the current portion of operating lease liabilities.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we began an evaluation and repositioning of our public safety and location technologies solutions in order to focus on providing higher margin solution offerings. To-date, we have ceased offering certain solutions, have worked with customers to wind-down certain legacy contracts and have not renewed certain contracts. In connection with this evaluation and repositioning, we recorded estimated contract settlement costs of $444,000 and $6,351,000 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
