                        LE MANS CHOOSES ALSTOM'S CITADIS
                               FOR ITS NEW TRAMWAY

Le Mans Metropole, which groups the municipalities in the metropolitan area of
the French city Le Mans, has chosen ALSTOM's CITADIS trams for its new tramway.
ALSTOM will supply 23 trams worth about €55 million. Signature of the contract
for the order is expected before the end of September 2004.

ALSTOM will build the CITADIS trams, which are based on service-proven,
standardised and modular components, to the specific requirements of Le Mans.
The 30-meter vehicles will offer rapid, comfortable and safe transport, and
their full low floor offers easy access to all passengers, including those with
impaired mobility. Delivery is expected to begin at the end of 2006 and be
complete in mid 2007.

The CITADIS family of trams offers flexible, modular solutions for rapidly
growing cities. The CITADIS design concept combines standardisation of
components with customisation of interior and exterior design in order to meet
the individual requirements of each city in terms of aesthetics, comfort and
accessibility. 18 cities around the world have chosen CITADIS trams, and ALSTOM
has sold or won orders for more than 600 CITADIS. The 281 CITADIS trams in
commercial service have carried 400 million passengers over 30 million
kilometres.

performance  encouraging.  This  provides  us good  confidence  to  achieve  our
turnaround."

PRESS INFORMATION


Orders and sales, as reported, were negatively impacted during the first quarter
of fiscal year 2005 by currency translation effects (impact of approximately 5%
on orders and 1% on sales), particularly the Euro versus the US dollar, and by
the disposals of our Industrial Turbines and Transmission & Distribution
activities. The comparable figures (see appendix 2) adjust the reported figures
for these effects.

The reported figures by Sector are presented in appendix 1 and a geographic
breakdown of reported orders and sales is given in appendix 3. We comment below
on the comparable figures.

ORDERS RECEIVED: €3.9 BILLION

Markets remain contrasted: the market in power generation new equipment shows a
positive trend in boilers, hydro and environmental control while remaining low
in gas and steam. By contrast, the power service market continues to grow
steadily. The transport market remains sound.

Orders received for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 showed a marked
improvement versus the same period of last year, with high performance in Power
Environment, Power Service and Transport.

The orders registered in the first quarter 2005 were much higher than in the
first part of last year, and significantly above the average level registered
last year.

The total backlog, at around €25.9 billion, was equivalent to 22 months of
sales.

SALES: €3.3 BILLION

Sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 were down 6% compared with the
same period of the previous year. This reflected a decline in Power
Turbo-Systems, Power Environment and Marine sales as a result of low order
intake in the beginning of last fiscal year, partly offset by higher sales in
Transport and Power Service.

SECTOR REVIEWS


POWER TURBO-SYSTEMS


Order intake at €306 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 was weak,
after a very strong previous quarter.

The main  order  received  in the first  quarter  of fiscal  year 2005 was for a
turnkey  combined cycle power plant including two gas turbines GT13E2 to Gautami
Power Ltd in India.

The level of sales at €470 million  reflected the declining order volumes of the
first half of fiscal year 2004. Power  Turbo-Systems  has not yet benefited from
the improvement of the second half of last year's orders.


POWER ENVIRONMENT

The level of order intake in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005  amounting to
€935 million, was well above the corresponding period of last year, in line with
the  improvement of the second  semester of fiscal year 2004. This reflected the
continuing  sound market in  environmental  control and in hydro.  By geography,
high growth was registered in China and North America.

Main orders received  included  environmental  control systems for EDF in France
and  Bechtel in the US, a turnkey  coal plant for  Rothensee  in Germany and two
hydro contracts in China.

Sales at €465 million were down the same period of last year, reflecting the low
level of orders in the first half of fiscal year 2004.


POWER SERVICE

Order intake in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, at €930 million,  was 25%
above the same period last year and was outgrowing  last year trend,  confirming
the continued  development of this activity. A significant increase was recorded
in Middle-East.

Sales at €754  million,  increased  by 11%  compared  to the same period of last
year, in line with continuous order growth.

PRESS INFORMATION


TRANSPORT

Orders at €1,559  million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 remained at a
particularly  high level,  confirming  our good  position  in an active  market,
especially in Europe.

The main orders received  included the booking of locomotives for SNCF in France
and a  maintenance  contract  in  Australia.  Transport  also  finalised a major
maintenance  contract  for  Bucharest  metro and  confirmed  its  success on the
tramway  market with the  registration  of two  contracts for Nice in France and
Tenerife Island in Spain.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2005,  sales were at €1,264 million,  up 18%
as compared to the same period of last fiscal year.

MARINE

No order was received in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. Negotiations are
on-going  with MSC for the signature of two 1,300 cabins  cruise-ships  and with
Gas de France for an additional LNG carrier.

The sales figure at €166 million  reflected  the phasing of revenue  recognition
during the period, including the delivery of a cruise-ship to MSC.

POWER CONVERSION

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2005, orders received stood at €140 million,
with main orders located in Germany and in the US.
Sales amounted to €130 million,  11% higher than the  corresponding  period last
year.

                    CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The  foregoing  document  contains,  and  other  written  or  oral  reports  and
communications  of  ALSTOM  may  from  time  to  time  contain,  forward-looking
statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933, as
amended,  and Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended.
Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, (i)
projections or  expectations of sales,  income,  operating  margins,  dividends,
provisions,  cash flow, debt or other financial items or ratios; (ii) statements
of plans,  objectives or goals of the Group or its management;  (iii) statements
of future product or economic  performance;  and (iv)  statements of assumptions
underlying such statements. Words such as "believes", "anticipates",  "expects",
"intends",  "aims",  "plans" and "will" and similar  expressions are intended to
identify  forward-looking   statements  but  are  not  the  exclusive  means  of
identifying such statements.  By their very nature,  forward-looking  statements
involve  risks  and  uncertainties  that the  forecasts,  projections  and other
forward-looking  statements  will not be achieved.  Such statements are based on
ALSTOM's current plans and expectations and are subject to a number of important
factors that could cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from the plans,
objectives and expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements.  These
factors  include the factors listed below as well as those described in ALSTOM's
Annual Report on Form 20-F for ALSTOM's fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 at Item
3: "Key Information - Risk Factors":  (i) the inherent difficulty of forecasting
future  market  conditions,   level  of  infrastructure   spending,  GDP  growth
generally,  interest rates and exchange rates;  (ii) the effects of, and changes
in, laws, regulations,  governmental policy, taxation or accounting standards or
practices;  (iii) the effects of currency exchange rate movements on the pricing
and competitiveness of ALSTOM'S products, and on the cost of raw materials; (iv)
the effects of competition in the product markets and geographic  areas in which
ALSTOM operates;  (v) ALSTOM's  ability to increase market share,  control costs
and  enhance  cash  generation  while  maintaining  high  quality  products  and
services;  (vi) the timely  development of new products and services;  (vii) the
ability to obtain shareholder  approval for and implement ALSTOM's new financing
package;  (viii) the ability to meet,  as  necessary,  the  financial  and other
covenants  contained  in  ALSTOM's  financing  agreements;  (ix) the  ability to
renegotiate  ALSTOM's Bonding  Facility in order to obtain bid,  performance and
other  bonds in  amounts  that are  sufficient  to meet  the  needs of  ALSTOM's
businesses;  (x) the timing of and ability to meet the cash generation and other
initiatives of the action plan and the financing plans, including the ability to
dispose of certain  real  estate and other  assets on  favourable  terms or in a
timely  fashion;  (xi)  the  results  of  investigations  by the  United  States
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC")  and  the  Autorite  des  Marches
Financiers;  (xii) the  outcome of the  putative  class  action  lawsuits  filed
against  ALSTOM and  certain  of  ALSTOM's  current  and  former  directors  and
officers;  (xiii) the results of the European  Commission's review of the French
State's  involvement in ALSTOM's  financing  plans and other aspects of ALSTOM's
businesses;   (xiv)  the  availability  of  external  sources  of  financing  on
commercially reasonable terms; (xv) the inherent technical complexity of many of
ALSTOM's products and technologies and ALSTOM's ability to resolve  effectively,
on time, and at reasonable cost technical problems,  infrastructure  constraints
or regulatory issues that inevitably arise, including in particular the problems



encountered  with the  GT24/GT26  gas  turbines  and the UK trains;  (xvi) risks
inherent  in large  contracts  and/or  significant  fixed price  contracts  that
comprise  a  substantial  portion of  ALSTOM's  business;  (xvii)  the  inherent
difficulty in estimating future charter or sale prices of any cruise ship in any
appraisal of ALSTOM's exposure in respect of Renaissance  Cruises and ships that
have been seized from  Festival;  (xviii) the inherent  difficulty in estimating
ALSTOM's  vendor  financing  risks and other credit risks,  which may notably be
affected  by  customers'  payment  default;  (xix)  ALSTOM's  ability  to invest
successfully  in, and compete at the leading  edge of,  technology  developments
across all of ALSTOM's sectors; (xx) the availability of adequate cash flow from
operations or other sources of liquidity to achieve  management's  objectives or
goals, including ALSTOM's goal of reducing  indebtedness;  (xxi) whether certain
of  ALSTOM's  markets,  particularly  the  Power  Sectors,  recover  from  their
currently  depressed state; (xxii) the possible impact on customer confidence of
ALSTOM's  financial  difficulties,  and if so, ALSTOM's  ability to re-establish
this confidence;  (xxiii) the effects of acquisitions  and disposals  generally;
(xxiv) the unusual level of uncertainty at this time regarding the world economy
in  general;  and (xxv)  ALSTOM's  success  in  adjusting  to and  managing  the
foregoing risks.

We  caution  you that this list of  important  factors is not  exhaustive;  when
relying on forward-looking  statements to make decisions with respect to ALSTOM,
you should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other  uncertainties and
events,  as well as other factors described in other documents ALSTOM files with
or submits to, from time to time, the SEC,  including reports submitted on Forms
20-F and 6-K. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which
they are made,  and ALSTOM  undertakes  no obligation to update or revise any of
them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.








                                                                   7th July 2004




                    GREEN LIGHT FROM THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION



ALSTOM has taken note of today's decision by the European  Commission to confirm
the  agreement in principle  reached on 26 May 2004 between the French State and
the Commission  which  approved,  under certain  conditions,  the French State's
participation  in the  ALSTOM  financing  package.  The French  State  therefore
becomes  a  shareholder   (approximately  18.5%)  in  the  Company  through  the
conversion into equity of a 20-year loan granted last summer (TSDDRA).

This  confirmation  is,  after  the  agreement  of our  banks  on new  financial
covenants  announced  on  23rd  June  2004,  the  second  important  step in the
implementation of the financing plan. The third one is the shareholders  meeting
to be held on 9 July.
