            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CRSS Inc.
("CRSS") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CRSS Capital, Inc. ("CRSS Capital"),
collectively referred to herein as the "Company".

The Combined Financial Statements include the accounts of the four less than
majority-owned power and cogeneration limited partnerships in which CRSS
Capital has equity interests ranging from 47.5 percent to 50 percent:  Hopewell
Cogeneration Limited Partnership ("Hopewell"), Naheola Cogeneration Limited
Partnership ("Naheola"), Appomattox Cogeneration Limited Partnership
("Appomattox"), and Westwood Energy Properties Limited Partnership
("Westwood"), collectively referred to herein as the "Partnerships".

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated and
Combined Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the respective financial positions of the Company and the Partnerships
as of September 30, 1994, the results of operations and cash flows for the
three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993. All adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. These unaudited Consolidated and Combined Financial
Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated and
Combined Financial Statements included in the June 30, 1994 Annual Report to
Shareholders.  The results of operations for the three months ended September
30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full fiscal year.  Certain amounts in the prior period Consolidated Financial
Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.


NOTE 2.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As of June 30, 1994, the design, engineering and construction management
segment was reflected as discontinued operations in conjunction with the
Company's plan to dispose of this business.

On July 21, 1994, the Company sold CRSS Architects, Inc. to Hellmuth, Obata &
Kassabaum, Inc. ("HOK").  Total consideration amounted to $6.8 million,
consisting of $4.8 million in cash at closing and a $2.0 million sharing of
future net cash distributions from the Peace Shield project, of which $0.4
million was received during the three months ended September 30, 1994.

On July 29, 1994, the Company sold its engineering and construction management
operations, consisting primarily of CRSS Constructors, Inc. and certain assets
and liabilities of CRS Sirrine Engineers, Inc. to Jacobs Engineering Group,
Inc. ("Jacobs").  Total consideration paid by Jacobs was $33.5 million in cash,
representing $14.0 million over the aggregate book value at June 30, 1994 of
the business acquired.  An additional purchase price adjustment for an increase
in the aggregate book value of the businesses acquired between June 30, 1994
and the closing date of July 29, 1994 has not yet been finalized.

Net assets from discontinued operations at September 30, 1994 consists
primarily of the assets and liabilities of the retained power plant contracts,
NaTec's investment in the White River Nahcolite Minerals joint venture,
deferred taxes, legal claims reserves and accrued discontinuance costs.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL
Electricity sales, steam sales and plant operations expense included in the
Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations consist of the revenues and
costs associated with the three Viking cogeneration facilities.  These projects
are wholly-owned by CRSS Capital.  Equity income in partnerships includes CRSS
Capital's interest in cogeneration facilities that are less than majority-owned
and are accounted for using the equity method.  These partnerships include the
Hopewell, Naheola, Westwood, and Appomattox facilities.  Operations and
administrative service fees arise from management services provided by CRSS
Capital to each project in which it maintains an ownership interest.  Costs
associated with providing these services are included in general and
administrative expense.  In addition to the components discussed previously,
costs and expenses included general and administrative overhead costs as well
as expenses related to the Company's project development efforts.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Consolidated earnings from continuing operations for the three months ended
September 30, 1994 were $0.7 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to $1.0
million, or $0.07 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 1993.

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1994 of $7.1 million
were 4 percent lower than the corresponding period of the prior year.  The
decrease was primarily due to a scheduled maintenance outage during September
at one of the Viking projects.

An increase in current year wood fuel costs resulted in an increase in plant
operations costs of $0.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 as
compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 1994.  Difficulties in procuring
adequate wood supplies have resulted in higher wood fuel prices in the current
year.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter ended September 30,
1994 of $2.5 million, were $0.9 million higher than the prior year amount of
$1.6 million.  The increase is due to the prior year amount including
expense reimbursements of $1.6 million related to a developmental project.
Excluding the effect of this reimbursement, general and administrative expenses
for the three months ended September 30, 1994 would have been lower than the
prior year.  Marketing and project development costs of $0.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1994 were consistent with the prior year.

Non-operating income for the three months ended September 30, 1994 was $0.3
million compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1993.
The increase is due to higher cash balances available for investment in
addition to higher rates of interest during the current year.  Interest
expense, which is primarily related to the long-term non-recourse debt used to
finance the Viking cogeneration facilities, was $0.1 million lower for the



                                       8


<PAGE>   11
quarter ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal
year 1994.  The decrease is due to reductions in the outstanding principal
balances on the non-recourse debt.

Minority interest in earnings of $0.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1993 represents the minority interest in CRSS Capital previously
owned by Paribas North America, Inc. ("Paribas").  The Company (via redemption
by CRSS Capital) repurchased all of the common stock of CRSS Capital owned by
Paribas on January 31, 1994 resulting in CRSS Capital becoming wholly-owned by
the Company.

EQUITY INCOME IN PARTNERSHIPS
Equity income in partnerships reflects CRSS Capital's 50 percent interest in
the Hopewell, Naheola, and Appomattox power and cogeneration facilities and the
47.5 percent interest in the Westwood facility.

Equity income in affiliates increased from $3.0 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1993 to $4.1 million for the three months ended September
30, 1994, an increase of $1.1 million, or 38 percent.  The increase is
primarily related to the Westwood project, which experienced an unscheduled
outage during the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Also contributing to
the increase was higher results at the Hopewell cogeneration facility due to a
retroactive fuel credit received in the current year.

The following represents a proforma condensed combining balance sheet and
statement of operations of the Company assuming the less than majority-owned
partnerships are combined with the Company (dollars in thousands):

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Earnings from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30,
1993 reflect the operating results of the design, engineering and construction
management segment which was classified as discontinued operations as of June
30, 1994, in conjunction with the Company's plan to dispose of this business.
As further discussed below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources", the Company
sold its primary subsidiaries related to this business segment during the first
quarter of fiscal year 1995.  As part of the sale transactions, CRSS retained
certain assets and liabilities, the majority of which relate to four power
plant engineering, procurement, and construction contracts which were
substantially complete or in the later stages of completion.  Additionally, the
Company agreed to indemnify the purchasers against certain legal claims.
During the three months ended September 30, 1994, the Company recorded an
additional reserve of $9.5 million for the discontinued design, engineering and
construction management segment related to changes in the estimates to complete
these power plant contracts and for additional legal claims reserves.

The Company is continuing discussions with several parties for the disposition
of its holdings in NaTec Resources, Inc. ("NaTec"), the discontinued acid
rain/pollution control segment.  Based on these discussions, the Company has
increased its provision for the estimated loss on disposal of NaTec by an
additional $2.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 1994.


CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Consolidated net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1994, was $8.0
million or, $0.61 per share versus net earnings of $1.0 million, or $0.08 per
share for the corresponding period of the prior year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital at September 30, 1994, totalled $26.6 million, which included
$18.2 million in cash and cash equivalents.  As of June 30, 1994, working
capital was $37.5 million, which included cash and cash equivalents of $2.2
million.  The $16.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents for the
period from June 30, 1994 to September 30, 1994 is primarily due to





                                      10

<PAGE>   13
the sale of the discontinued design, engineering and construction management 
segment as further discussed below.

On July 21, 1994, the Company sold CRSS Architects, Inc. to Hellmuth, Obata &
Kassabaum, Inc. ("HOK").  Total consideration amounted to $6.8 million,
consisting of $4.8 million in cash at closing and a $2.0 million sharing of
future net cash distributions from the Peace Shield project, of which $0.4
million was received during the three months ended September 30, 1994.

On July 29, 1994, the Company sold its engineering and construction management
operations, consisting primarily of CRSS Constructors, Inc. and certain assets
and liabilities of CRS Sirrine Engineers, Inc., to Jacobs Engineering Group,
Inc. ("Jacobs").  Total consideration paid by Jacobs was $33.5 million in cash,
representing $14.0 million over the aggregate book value at June 30, 1994 of
the business acquired.  An additional purchase price adjustment for an increase
in the aggregate book value of the businesses acquired between June 30, 1994
and the closing date of July 29, 1994 has not yet been finalized.

Cash payments related to the discontinued operations during the three months
ended September 30, 1994 of $17.5 million consisted of working capital
requirements of the businesses prior to the sale, severance and other employee
related costs, legal fees and settlements, costs related to the retained power
plant engineering, procurement, and construction contracts, and closing costs.

The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with four banks.
The facility may be used to fund draws under outstanding letters of credit
issued thereunder, which totalled $32.2 million at September 30, 1994, in
addition to $5.0 million for general corporate purposes.  The credit facility,
which is available through December 30, 1994 is subject to certain restrictive
covenants including, among others, liquidity ratio, tangible net worth, debt
and cash flow ratios and limitations on capital investments.

The Company's non-recourse project financing represents long-term non-recourse
debt related to the Viking projects.  The notes provide for interest payments
at 11.15 percent per annum due in quarterly installments of principal and
interest through the year 2009.  The Company has entered into negotiations with
the lenders for the restructuring of the debt.

At September 30, 1994 cash totalling $0.4 million has been reserved for plant
maintenance on the Viking projects in accordance with the terms of the
non-recourse project financing.  An additional $0.7 million is reserved for
debt service.

Subsequent to September 30, 1994, the Company received a formal call notice on
its interest in the Naheola partnership from its partner, James River
Corporation, for fair value.  The project, which includes a chemical recovery
boiler and cogeneration assets located at James River's Naheola Mill in
Pennington, Alabama, has been in operation since March 1993.  The timing and
the actual call price has not yet been determined, pending a formal update of
the financial projections and operating assumptions remaining in the project,
which runs through 2013.

Management believes that existing cash, cash flow from operations and existing
credit facilities will be sufficient to meet the ongoing requirements of the
operations of the Company.  In addition, the above sources can be supplemented
with other external sources of funds to meet additional cash requirements if
necessary.
