University of Kansas Professor Issues White Paper Evaluating RMI Consulting, Inc.'s Budget Cycle Value-at-Risk (VaR) Methodology for Commodity Portfolios

Topeka, KS - September 13, 2007 - RMI Consulting, Inc. has added a long term VaR modeling application to its proprietary online risk management system, Know-Risk^TM. Developed in response to suggestions by companies that face commodity exposure as a natural course of business, the application provides a statistical measure of risk over a long time horizon such as a budget or planning cycle. The system can handle a wide range of commodities including electricity, natural gas, diesel, grains, meats, and metals.

By examining the model's assumptions, parameters, and characteristics, the white paper presents a validation of the Know-Risk^TM VaR model and discusses its applications.
