Deferred tax assets:                  
North America   $ 4,762,769     $ 4,718,827     $ 4,674,001

Sub-total     4,932,375       4,824,535       4,779,709  
Less Valuation allowance     (4,932,375 )     (4,824,535 )     (4,779,709 )
Net deferred tax assets     -       -       -  

 

The valuation allowance as of September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 totaled $4,932,375, $4,824,535 and $4,779,709 respectively which consisted primarily of established reserves for deferred tax assets on non-capital operating loss carry forwards for our entities in United States and our foreign entities. The tax rates being used to determine deferred tax assets are estimated at 34.5% for North America and 15% for outside North America. The consolidated effective tax (benefit) rate as a percentage of income (loss) before income taxes is as follows:

 

    2013     2012     2011
