Seymour Pierce forecast for current financial year is 5.9p eps on a 20% tax charge....dividend forecast 1.77p.......Prospective p/e is 6.7 ...@39.5p
Spectrum is a payphone cash cow, of which declining income is being arrested by innovations such as advertising, ATM's, Microcells & Wi-fi, in street payphones. Cash is being invested into the highly profitable & high growth Interactive divisions, which are making an increasing impact in terms of percentage of turnover & profits for the group

From Investors Chronicle 7-14th October 2006:

Spectrum is switching between two quite different telecom businesses. On the one hand, it operates over 9,000 payphones (over half of which are in London) whose revenue is rapidly diminishing. On the other hand, income from internet terminals and wireless internet links in hotels and airports is rapidly increasing. So in 2005-06, profits from payphones more than halved to 749,000, while income from internet terminals jumped from 211,000 to 511,000. And these trends will continue as the company is spending no working capital on the payphones, but over 2m this year supplying 80 internet terminals a month in the UK and Germany as well as wiring 10 hotels a month with wireless networking. To date 300 hotels have been wired including Travelodge and Premier Travel Inns, covering 30,000 rooms.

Before goodwill amortisation and one-off costs, last year's profits were little changed at 2m. If there's no goodwill charge this year, brokers think that profits could rise to 2.5m on sales modestly higher at 18.4m. But in place of a nil-rate tax charge (and a 734,000 deferred tax credit in 2004-05) there could be a 20 per cent tax charge. So broker Seymour Pierce is only looking for earnings of 5.9p a share and a little-changed dividend. BUY.

Interactive turnover up 124% ...Interactive profit up 143%....for 2006.

PRESS RELEASE

BAA award seven airport Internet Kiosk contract worth 5M to Spectrum Interactive plc




BAA, the world's leading airport company, has awarded a new seven airport internet kiosk contract to Spectrum Interactive plc, estimated to be worth 5m, following a competitive tender process. Spectrum already operates over 200 internet kiosks within the BAA estate and also provides payphones to each airport. This new contract will commence in 2008 and extends the company's leading position in the UK airport market through to 2011.

Importantly, the agreement also includes rights to install new units into Heathrow Terminal 5 which opens in March 2008. Terminal 5 alone is expected to service around 30 million passengers per annum by 2010.

Mark Lewarne, CEO Spectrum Interactive commented, "We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded this prestigious contract. BAA is a long standing Spectrum partner, and we have worked extremely hard to offer a superb package of good design, service and operational support to suit the demands of some of the busiest airports in the world. Securing this contract and extending our relationship with BAA into Terminal 5 allows Spectrum to invest further in new design and product features. We look forward to a long continued association with our partner BAA."

Colin Hargrave, Managing Director, UK Airports BAA, said: "BAA is committed to offering the very best airport experience to passengers, and we demand the same approach from our partners. Spectrum has always been a strong partner with superior levels of service, innovation and marketing initiatives, and with demand for internet services at our airports increasing rapidly, we are confident that Spectrum is ready to meet these challenges and further develop this growing market."

Commenting on the design of Spectrum's latest internet areas Mark Lewarne added, "This is a very significant win for Spectrum, and it indicates that the company has got the right blend of product, design and operational experience. The award of Terminal 5 is particularly exciting. BAA demanded only the very best partners for this project, and Spectrum's new T5 designs had to meet and exceed BAA's expectations. We'll be setting new standards of design and service features for T5, which will be a benchmark for future airport installations."

Colin Hargrave, Managing Director, UK Airports BAA, said: with demand for internet services at our airports increasing rapidly
