Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 26, 2012, Four Rivers BioEnergy Inc. (the “Company”), received, though a UK subsidiary, a $120,000 credit from HMRC (the UK Government tax authority) under the terms of the Research and Development Credit provisions in the UK tax legislation relating to eligible research and development expenditures (the ‘R&D Costs’) incurred in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 in the area of creating viable renewable fuels from the processing of waste oils (the ‘R&D Activity’). Aggregate credits of approximately $690,000 have been received since the R&D Activity was commenced by the Company in 2009

The Company plans to deploy the know-how that has been developed from the R&D Activity in the operation of its planned Waste-to-Energy Plant, which is currently being developed by it in the UK under its Verta Energy brand.

By prior agreement with HMRC this recent credit is to be used to pay off the over-due arrears of withholding taxes due in respect of the payroll of employees who were engaged in the R&D Activity (together with the professional fees that related to the preparation and submission of the claim).
