14. INCOME TAXES
 
Due to the Company’s history of losses and uncertainty of future taxable income, a valuation allowance sufficient to fully offset net operating losses and other deferred tax assets has been established. The valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not necessary. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 differed from the expected U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance.
