INTRODUCTION

This Information Statement is being mailed on or about June 9, 1995 to
the holders of record of shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value (the "Shares"),
of CRSS Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). You are receiving this
Information Statement in connection with the possible election of persons
designated by the Purchaser (as defined below) to a majority of the seats on the
Board of Directors of the Company. You are not, however, required to take any
action.

As of May 16, 1995, the Company, ATC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the "Parent"), and American Tractebel Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Purchaser"), entered into an Agreement of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement"), which provides, among other things, that (i) Parent will cause the
Purchaser to commence a tender offer (the "Offer") for all outstanding Shares,
at a price of $14.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, and (ii) Purchaser
will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger") as soon as practicable
after the expiration of the Offer and fulfillment or waiver of all remaining
conditions and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation. As a
result of the Offer and the Merger, the Company will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Parent.

The Merger Agreement requires the Company to take such action as
Purchaser may reasonably request to cause Purchaser's designees to be elected to
the Board of Directors under the circumstances described therein. See "Board of
Directors and Executive Officers -- Right to Designate Directors; Purchaser
Designees."

You are urged to read this Information Statement carefully. You are
not, however, required to take any action. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 14D-9.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser commenced the Offer on May
16, 1995. The Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York, New York
time, on June 16, 1995, unless the Offer is extended.

The information contained in this Information Statement concerning
Purchaser and Parent has been furnished to the Company by Purchaser and Parent,
and the Company assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of
such information.

VOTING SECURITIES

The Shares are the only class of voting securities outstanding of the
Company. As of June 6, 1995, the Company had 12,971,047 Shares outstanding.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors currently consists of seven (7) members. At
each annual meeting of stockholders, each director is elected to hold office for
a one year term, until the next annual meeting of stockholders.

RIGHT TO DESIGNATE DIRECTORS: PURCHASER DESIGNEES

The Merger Agreement provides that promptly upon the purchase by
Purchaser of at least a majority of the outstanding Shares, Purchaser and Parent
shall be entitled subject to compliance with applicable law to designate such
number of directors on the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company,
rounded up to the next whole number (the "Purchaser Designees") such that Parent
will have representation on the Board equal to the percentage that the number of
Shares held by Parent and any of its direct or indirect wholly owned
Subsidiaries (including Purchaser) purchased bears to the total number of Shares
outstanding.

Purchaser has informed the Company that it will choose the Purchaser
Designees listed below. No determination has yet been made as to which of the
current directors of the Company will continue as directors following the
purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer. However, it is anticipated that four
current directors will resign their positions on the Board immediately prior to
the election of the four Purchaser Designees.

The Company has been advised by Purchaser that, to the best of
Purchaser's knowledge, none of the Purchaser Designees has been involved in any
transactions with the Company or any of its directors, executive officers or
affiliates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Commission, except as may be disclosed herein or in the
Schedule 14D-9.

It is expected that the Purchaser Designees may assume office at any

vesting date, and (v) a discount rate of 3% per year during the 1-year vesting

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Company's policy concerning executive officer compensation is
based on the necessity of retaining officers displaying the following
attributes: (i) versatility in responding to the changing conditions of several
distinct markets, of which all but CRSS Capital's market are highly cyclical;
(ii) ability, experience and background to maintain a high level of credibility
with CRSS Services' and CRSS Capital's clients; and (iii) commitment and
discipline to perform a variety of executive functions due to the relatively
small number of Company executive officers.

The Company's operating and financial performance is the major
executive officer compensation criterion. In order to achieve an executive
officer compensation program that is performance based, overall executive
officer compensation is made up of three (3) major components: base salary,
annual bonus and long-term incentive compensation, with the latter two (2)
components tied, directly or indirectly, to the Company's operating and
financial performance. It is the Compensation Committee's intention to establish
executive officer base salaries at levels which are generally competitive (i.e.
at or near the median level of those of comparable companies). Although the
Company's chief executive officer and other executive officers base salaries are
believed to be competitive, the Compensation Committee believes the fiscal year
1994 base salaries fall somewhat below the median salaries for chief executive
officers and other executive officers of comparably sized companies in the
general industry, engineering and construction, and independent power
categories.

The second major component of executive officer compensation consists
of an annual bonus from the Senior Management Incentive Award Plan. The annual
Senior Management Incentive Award Plan bonus for each individual executive
officer is calculated as the product of the individual officer's target bonus
amount multiplied by the ratio of the Company's, or CRSS Capital, Inc.'s in the
case of Mr. Stewart, actual performance for the year end as compared to the
Operating and Financial Plan ("Plan") for the same fiscal year. The Compensation
Committee establishes the target bonuses at the beginning of each fiscal year.
The fiscal year 1994 bonus targets were 50%, 50%, 50%, 40% and 35% of base
salary for Messrs. Wilkinson, Stewart, Martin, Gardiner and Perrone,
respectively, and are redetermined each year by the Compensation Committee based
on the individual's ability to impact the financial results for the Company. The
Board of Directors approves the Company's Plan at the beginning of each fiscal
year. The actual bonus varies linearly with actual Company performance between
50% and 150% of Plan. For Company performance below 75% of Plan, bonus payments
are only made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For Company
performance below 50% of Plan, no bonus is paid. The annual bonus is capped at
the amount established when Company performance is 150% of the Plan.

Each year, the Compensation Committee also authorizes the Chief
Executive Officer to distribute certain amounts from the Leaders' Incentive
Compensation Plan. Bonuses from this plan reward employees for unusual effort
benefiting the Company when circumstances are such that normal compensation is
inadequate in the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer. All Company employees
are eligible for this Plan. No Leaders' Incentive Compensation Plan bonuses were
paid in fiscal year 1994 to executive officers.

Based on fiscal year 1994 results, the five most highly compensated
executive officers' overall cash compensation (base salary plus bonus) for
fiscal year 1994 was believed to be somewhat below the median amounts for
comparably sized general industry, engineering and construction, and independent
power companies.

The third major component of executive officer compensation consists
of long term incentive awards, which may include restricted stock, stock
options, and performance awards issued pursuant to the Company's 1990 Long Term
Incentive Compensation Plan. Awards, which generally vest over 4-5 years, are
issued at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and are typically issued
to executive officers at a frequency of every 2-4 years. Due to recent Company
stock prices, the annualized present value of executive officer long term
incentive compensation calculated pursuant to the Black Scholes Option Pricing
Model is also believed to be somewhat below the median amounts for comparably
sized general industry, engineering and construction, and independent power
companies.

We believe the Company and its shareholders received significant value
for the services of its executive officers in fiscal year 1994. We also believe
that executive officer compensation for fiscal year 1994 was reasonable and in
accordance with the overall objective of retaining highly skilled and motivated
executive officers at reasonable compensation levels which reflect both the
individual's contribution to the Company's performance and actual Company
performance itself.

In July 1994, the Company sold substantially all of CRSS Services,
Inc., its design, engineering and construction management subsidiaries, leaving
the independent power subsidiary, CRSS Capital, Inc., as the sole operating unit
of the Company. Consistent with the Company's decision to focus exclusively on
the independent power industry in the future, the Company's compensation policy
focus will shift to that of a company operating solely in that industry.

Respectfully submitted by the Compensation Committee:

John M. Seidl, Chairman
Thomas A. Bullock
Ben R. Stuart

September 1, 1994

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Messrs. Seidl, Bullock and Stuart are the only persons who have served
on the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at any time during the
1994 fiscal year. No member of the Compensation Committee was, during the 1994
fiscal year, an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
or was formerly an officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except
that Mr. Bullock served as an officer of the Company and its predecessors as set
forth under "Board of Directors -- Board of Directors of the Company", or had
any relationships with the Company requiring disclosure by the Company under
Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

During the Company's 1994 fiscal year, no executive officer of the
Company served as (i) a member of the Compensation Committee (or other board
committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such
committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity, one of whose
executive officers served on the Company's Compensation Committee, (ii) a
director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the
Company's Compensation Committee, or (iii) a member of the Compensation
Committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the
absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity,
one of whose executive officers served as a director of the Company.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS

Mr. Bruce W. Wilkinson is a party to an employment agreement as
amended on July 27, 1989, with the Company for a term ending June 30, 1995,
which term is automatically extended an additional year on June 30 of each year
if the Company or the executive has not otherwise notified the other.

Under the terms of the above employment agreement, if the Company
terminates the executive's employment other than for cause, or the executive
terminates his employment for good reason (as hereinafter defined), then the
Company shall continue to pay the executive his salary for the duration of the
term of his Employment Agreement (but in no event for less than twelve months
following the date of such termination) and shall maintain the executive's
participation for such period in all employee benefit plans in which the
executive was entitled to participate at the time of his termination. If within
three years after a change in control, the Company terminates the executive's
employment (other than for cause) or the executive terminates employment with
the Company for good reason, the Company shall pay to the executive a cash
amount equal to 2.5 multiplied by the sum of the executive's annual base salary
and aggregate bonus for the 12-month period prior to the change in control or
prior to such termination (whichever is greater). If the payments and benefits
that the executive has a right to

12
13

receive would result in "excess parachute payments" (as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), and the executive would be required to pay an
excise tax pursuant to the Code in respect of such payments and benefits, the
Company shall also pay the executive an additional amount such that the
executive would retain the amount of such payments and benefits as if such
excise tax had not been payable thereon. Termination for good reason includes
termination or resignation after certain events, such as a demotion, the
assignment to the executive of any duties or responsibilities that are
inconsistent with the executive's position, layoff or involuntary termination
(except for cause or as a result of the executive's retirement, disability or
death), a reduction in compensation or benefits, the failure of any acquiror of
the Company to assume the employment contract and a breach of the Company's
obligations under the employment contract. If the executive terminates
employment with the Company for reasons other than good reason, as defined
above, the Company shall pay the executive compensation accrued through the date
of termination and the Company shall then have no further obligations to the
executive under the agreement.

If a change in control had occurred on June 6, 1995, and if Mr.
Wilkinson had been terminated without cause or terminated his employment for
good reason on such date, he would have been entitled to receive (assuming no
excise tax were payable) approximately $1,200,000.

Mr. James T. Stewart is a party to an employment agreement with CRSS
Capital, Inc. dated July 1, 1989. Under the terms of this employment agreement,
if the Company terminates the executive's employment other than for cause, or
the executive terminates his employment for good reason (as hereinafter
defined), then the Company shall continue to pay the executive his salary for
twelve months and shall maintain the executive's participation for such period
in all employee benefit plans in which the executive was entitled to participate
at the time of his termination. Termination for good reason includes termination
or resignation after certain events, such as a demotion, the assignment to the
executive of any duties or responsibilities that are inconsistent with the
executive's position, layoff or involuntary termination (except for cause or as
a result of the executive's retirement, disability or death), a reduction in
compensation or benefits, the failure of any acquiror of the Company to assume
the employment contract and a breach of the Company's obligations under the
employment contract. If the executive terminates his employment with the Company
for reasons other than good reason, as defined above, the Company shall pay the
executive for compensation accrued through the date of termination and the
Company shall then have no further obligations to the executive under the
agreement.

If Mr. Stewart had been terminated without cause or terminated his
employment for good reason on June 6, 1995, he would have been entitled to
receive approximately $225,000 plus the amount of aggregate annual bonus Mr.
Stewart would have earned had he been employed with CRSS Capital, Inc. through
June 30, 1995.

The Company also has entered into employment agreements with executive
officers Mr. William J. Gardiner, Mr. William P. Utt, and Mr. Timothy R. Dunne
(each such executive officer being referred to as an "executive"). Under the
terms of each of these employment agreements (an "Agreement"), if the Company
terminates the executive's employment other than for cause, or the executive
terminates his employment for good reason (as hereinafter defined) within six
months after such good reason arises, then the Company shall continue to pay the
executive his salary for twelve months and shall maintain the executive's
participation for such period in all employee benefit plans in which the
executive was entitled to participate at the time of his termination. The
executive shall be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit
after such termination by seeking other employment or otherwise. Termination for
good reason includes termination or resignation after certain events, such as
demotion, layoff or involuntary termination (except for cause or as a result of
the executive's retirement, disability or death), a reduction in compensation or
benefits, a material increase in responsibilities or duties without increase in
total compensation, the Company's failure to provide the executive with the
number of entitled days of paid vacation and sick leave, the failure of the
Company to obtain express assumption of the Agreement by any successor to the
Company, and any material violation by the Company of the Agreement. If the
executive terminates his employment with the Company for reasons other than good
reason, as defined above, including death, disability or retirement, the Company
shall pay the executive for compensation accrued through the date of termination
and the Company shall then have no further obligations to the executive under
the Agreement.

14

The initial term of each Agreement commenced on February 1, 1995 and
expires on July 1, 1997. Commencing on June 30, 1995 and each June 30
thereafter, the term will automatically be extended for one additional year,
unless the Company terminates the executive's employment for cause, or the
executive resigns for other than good reason, or, not later than the May 1
immediately preceding any such June 30, the Company delivers to the executive or
the executive delivers to the Company written notice that the term will not be
extended.

If the payments and benefits provided for an executive under an
Agreement would result in an "excess parachute payment" (as defined in the
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time
(the "Code")), and the executive would be required to pay an excise tax pursuant
to Section 4999 (or any successor section) of the Code in respect of such excess
parachute payments, the Company shall pay the executive an additional amount
such that the executive would retain the amount of such excess parachute
payments as if such excise tax had not been payable thereon.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Mr. Thomas A. Bullock and Mr. C. Herbert Paseur, both members of the
Company's Board of Directors, received $78,390 and $37,759, respectively, in
fiscal year 1994 from the Company's terminated defined benefit Retirement Plan.

Messrs. Bullock and Paseur were paid $38,409 and $88,545,
respectively, in fiscal year 1994 pursuant to the terms of the Senior Executive
Officer Early Retirement Plan.

There are certain indemnification agreements in effect between the
Company and its directors as approved by the Company's stockholders at the 1986
Annual Meeting. At the 1989 Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders approved
amendments to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws further
expanding the indemnification of the Company's directors and officers as
permitted by Delaware law.

In July 1994, the Company sold its design, engineering and
construction management subsidiaries, leaving the independent power subsidiary,
CRSS Capital, Inc., as the sole operating subsidiary of the Company. Consistent
with the Company's decision to focus exclusively on the independent power
industry, beginning next year the Company will change its performance graph
comparison to include only the IPC peer group. The selected IPC peer group
consists of publicly-traded, non-utility companies in the independent power and
cogeneration industry: AES Corporation, California Energy, Destec Energy, Magma
Power and Sithe Energies. In this year of transition, the S&P ENG and CONSTR
index is provided for comparison purposes.

The comparison of total return on investment (change in year-end stock
price plus reinvested dividends) for each of the periods assumes that $100 was
invested June 30, 1989 in CRSS Inc., S&P 500, S&P ENG and CONSTR and the IPC
Peer Group with investment weighted on the basis of market capitalization.
