As compensation for the payment of these expenses on behalf of the Company, the Company pays the provider in shares of common stock equivalent to the expense paid plus a fee equal to 15% of the expense paid. The Company issued 24,000,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $281,000 in advance of the payments made by the provider. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, included in prepaid expenses is $161,000 and $114,000, respectively for shares of stock issued to the provider in excess of amounts paid on the Company’s behalf.

Why are we paying a third party to pay these?? Isn't this Muzi's job? Who is the provider and what expenses are these?
