Pretax losses arising from United States operations were approximately $2,534,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011.     The Company has non- US net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11,877,200, which expire in 2019-2030 and US of approximately $11,877,200 which expire in 2019-2030. Because it is not more likely than not that sufficient tax earnings will be generated to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards, a corresponding valuation allowance of approximately $1,164,000 and $1,151,000 was established as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Additionally, under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of, and benefits from, net operating losses may be limited in certain circumstances, including a change in control.   Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in its stock ownership. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to utilize any net operating loss carryforwards in the future.   For the year ended September 30, 2012, the Companys effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate principally due to net operating losses and warrants issued for services.   The principal components of the Companys deferred tax assets at September 30, 2012 are as follows:   <table align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font: 8pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;
