We or one of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Our federal tax returns for all years after 2017, state tax returns after 2016 and foreign tax returns after 2016 are subject to future examination by tax authorities for all our tax jurisdictions. Although the outcome of tax audits, if any, is always uncertain, we believe that we have adequately accrued for all amounts of tax, including interest and penalties and any adjustments that may result. The tax year ended December 31, 2018 for Gyros US, Inc., and its subsidiary (together "Gyros U.S."), which we acquired as part of the GPT Acquisition, is under examination by the IRS. Additionally, the tax year ended March 31, 2019 for Mesa Laboratories, Inc. is under review by the IRS. We expect the examinations for these tax years to be completed during the year ending March 31, 2022. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in other expense and general and administrative expense, respectively. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $0, $19 and $40 as of March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. A reconciliation of the changes in the balance of unrecognized tax benefit amounts is as follows:
|  | Year Ended March 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Beginning balance |  | $ | 653 |  |  | $ | 1,361 |  |  | $ | 827 |
Decreases related to prior period tax positions |  |  | (629 | ) |  |  | (1,027 | ) |  |  | - |
Increases related to current period tax positions |  |  | 40 |  |  |  | 319 |  |  |  | 534 |
Ending balance |  | $ | 64 |  |  | $ | 653 |  |  | $ | 1,361 |
During the year ended March 31, 2021, we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $630, including interest, related to our foreign-derived intangible income deduction recognition based on updated Treasury Regulations, and application of those regulations to our operations, which reduced the effective tax rate by 6.0%. The remaining amount of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $64 as of March 31, 2021, excluding interest and penalties. We expect that the remaining amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months; however, we do not expect the change to have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of operations or consolidated balance sheets. At this time, we expect resolution of the uncertain tax position within 12 months. As of March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020, respectively, undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries amounted to $9,951 and $12,900, respectively. Those earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no U.S. federal and state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credits would be available to reduce a portion of the U.S. tax liability. Furthermore, as a result of the Tax Cuts and Job Act, a significant portion of the distribution may not be subject to current U.S. income taxes, resulting in no foreign tax credits. As of March 31, 2021, we had $27,547 of gross net operating losses for foreign tax purposes. The foreign net operating losses do not expire. Furthermore, Gyros U.S. had gross net operating loses of $11,936 and $11,449, for federal and state tax purposes, respectively, of which the federal net operating losses do not expire, and the state net operating losses begin to expire in the 2022 tax year. In addition, we had $16 of foreign tax credit carryovers which will expire in the tax year 2029. Gyros U.S. also had $153 of Research and Development credit carryforward which will begin to expire in the 2030 tax year.
