Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

           On February 26, 1997, CAC purchased  190,000 shares of Common
           Stock in an open market  transaction at a price of $24.75 per
           share,  plus  commissions  of $11,400 or $4,713,900 in total.
           Elyo loaned the funds to CAC on an intercompany  basis.  Elyo
           has  loaned  funds to CAC in the past to permit it to respond
           quickly to business opportunities;  although there is no firm
           commitment  that Elyo will make such loans,  CAC  anticipates
           that Elyo will  advance  funds for purposes  consistent  with
           CAC's and Elyo's  business  plans.  The loan to purchase  the
           190,000  shares of  Trigen  Common  Stock is an open  account
           transaction,  without  collateral  or any loan  documentation
           beyond a book entry.  The interest rate and  repayment  terms
           have not been  settled at this time.  Elyo used its own funds
           for the advance to CAC.

Item 4.    Purposes of Transaction.

           Under its  present  business  plan,  Elyo  intends  to remain
           indirectly a major  shareholder  of Trigen  through CAC's and
           CPCU's  ownership  of Common  Stock.  CAC's  purchase  of the
           190,000  shares of Common  Stock was in  furtherance  of this
           policy.

           (d)  No person except for  Lyonnaise,  Elyo, CAC and CPCU, is

                the receipt of dividends  from, or the proceeds from the
                sale of, the Common Stock owned by CAC and CPCU.

           (e)  Not applicable.

           (f)  Citizenship

                Lyonnaise,  Elyo and CPCU are  organized  under the laws
                of  the   Republic   of   France.   CAC  is  a  Delaware
                corporation.

Item 6.    Contracts,  Arrangements,   Understandings  or  Relationships
           with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

           CAC,  CPCU,  Elyo  and  Lyonnaise  may be  deemed  to  form a
           group.  Lyonnaise  owns 98% of the  outstanding  voting stock
           of Elyo. Elyo directly owns 76.9% of the  outstanding  voting
           stock of CAC and may be deemed to own  beneficially  89.6% of
           the  outstanding  voting stock of CAC due to its ownership of
           stock in certain other entities  which are themselves  owners
           of  outstanding  voting stock of CAC. CPCU is a subsidiary of
           Elyo,  which owns 64.5% of the  outstanding  voting  stock of
           CPCU.  CAC and  CPCU  will  most  likely  take  actions  in a
           concerted manner.
