            title to 1,779,850 shares of Common Stock of BARRA, Inc. (the 
            "Stock"). Andrew Rudd ("Dr. Rudd") and his wife (Virginia Rudd) are
            the trustees of the Trust and, as such, share the voting and 
            dispositive powers for such Stock. The Trust's Interest in such

            Stock as of December 31, 1997.

         As of December 31, 1997, the Rudd Family Foundation (the "Foundation")
         held title to 25,000 shares of the Stock. Dr. Rudd, his wife and one 
         of his sons are the trustees of the Foundation and, as such, share 
         the voting and dispositive powers for such Stock. The Foundation's 
         interest in such Stock represented less than five percent of the 
         issued and outstanding Stock as of December 31, 1997.

         As of December 31, 1997, Dr. Rudd held title to 876,900 shares of 
         the Stock. This Stock represents shares issued as a result of a 3 
         for 2 split of the Stock, which occurred before Dr. Rudd's October 
         1, 1997 transfer of 1,728,800 shares of the Stock to the Trust and 
         25,000 shares of the Stock to the Foundation was completed. Dr. 
         Rudd is presently in the process of transferring 864,400 shares of 
         such Stock to the Trust and 12,500 shares of such Stock to the 
         Foundation. Until such transfer is completed, Dr. Rudd will have 
         sole voting and dispositive power for such Stock. Dr. Rudd's 
         interest in such Stock represented approximately 6.47% of the 
         issued and outstanding Stock as of December 31, 1997.
         
         As of December 31, 1997, 48,448 shares of the Stock were held in 
         equal parts by "Peter Rudd as custodian for [each of Dr. Rudd's four 
         children] under the California Transfers to Minors Act" ("CUTMA") 
         and 72,300 shares of the Stock were held by the CANN 1997 Trust 
         ("CANN"). Neither Dr. Rudd nor the Trust has sole or shared voting 
         or dispositive power over the Stock held by CUTMA or CANN. 
         Accordingly, Dr. Rudd and the Trust each disclaims beneficial 
         ownership of such shares pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Securities 
         Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
