In conclusion, Leede Financial's maintenance of its Buy rating and US$18 price target reflects confidence in Profound Medical's growth potential following the favorable reimbursement update. The share price at the time of the report of US$7.35 represents a potential return of approximately 145% to the analyst's target price, highlighting the significant upside potential as the company advances its commercialization efforts.

Comparing TULSA to robotic radical prostatectomy (RP), analyst Rahul Sarugaser, Ph.D., said, “We find that the economics for both hospitals and physicians are about equivalent. So, with this even playing field, we expect TULSA’s adoption to be driven based on its favorable safety profile relative to RP.”
Dr. Sarugaser added that, supported by head-to-head TULSA versus RP data from the CAPTAIN trial in mid-2025, TULSA should begin establishing itself as standard-of-care treatment for all stages of localized prostate disease (i.e. from low-, intermediate-, or high-risk prostate cancer; to hybrid patients suffering from both prostate cancer and BPH; to men with BPH only; and also, to patients requiring salvage therapy for radio-recurrent localized prostate cancer). “As such, we reiterate our Strong Buy rating.”

Satisfied TULSA prostate cancer procedure patient discloses 5.2% stake in Profound Medical
January 12, 2024
Profound Medical
In a 13G filed with the SEC today, accomplished businessman and founder of namesake transportation company Daseke (NADAQ:DSKE), Don Daseke, disclosed he has taken a 5.2% ownership stake in Profound Medical (NASDAQ:PROF).
The payment ratio has not been determined. Obviously, this information will be soon and more specific because of the January start. Arun, in the question he fielded during the Investor's Day, alluded to it as the same percentage as any other established Medicare procedure.
Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF; TSX:PRN) (“Profound” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, announced today that, pursuant to the 2024 Final Rule published yesterday by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), use of HCPCS C code, C9734, previously established for the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS), has been extended for use in the Ambulatory Surgical Center (“ASC”) setting, and that MRI-Monitored Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation (“TULSA”) of prostate tissue, performed using Profound’s TULSA-PRO® system, has been assigned device-intensive status. The ASC extension will go into effect on January 1, 2024.

Nothing was mentioned about the temporary C-code. However, the Master Agreement with Cleveland Clinic and their 20 sites is impressive.
Profound Medical to Release Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results on November 2 – Conference Call to Follow
Profound just posted the event on their website: Investors/Webcasts/Profound Medical 2023.......
Thanks James. I believe Arun also described it as, "a work in progress."
Profound Medical 2023 Virtual Analyst & Investor Day-This event was held this last Friday. The agenda showed a Q&A session at the end of their presentation. I was not able to find a transcript for that moment. Did anyone experience this event, and if so, was there any hint of the C-Code?
Arun Menawat
Yes, Rahul, I didn't cover that in the prepared remarks, but we have separate from this CPT activity, we have applied directly with CMS to expand the use of the C code at AFCs.
May 10, 2023-Arun Menawat responding to Raymend James, (Rahal):
As you know, there are over 5,000 of those in the United States, many of them already have MRs. And based upon the clinical data and the commercial data that we submitted to the CMS, it clearly shows that it is a daytime procedure.
And because there is no incision in this procedure, the risk of needing a hospital in emergency is very low. And so the meeting did take place in March with -- from our perspective, did go well.
The CMS will publish their proposed remarks by end of July or early August this year and finalize them by October this year. And if indeed they accept that our recommendation, that will actually become applicable as of January 2024.
So, the idea is that we are -- majority of our patients today are cash patients. But I think that we could be transitioning to using the C code more effectively as of January 2024. And then by 2025, if the AMA accepted the application, then that the permanent code will become effective. So, I think that's sort of the series of events that we're looking forward to.
I’m guessing any publication would be presented early in the morning. I’m taking a big, somewhat calculated gamble.
Thanks JC, I appreciate your investigation. Keep the faith.
I am having a difficult time connecting Robert W. Baird to AVXT. Can anyone enlighten me?
It is 2014. They are extending the study for another year.
We all understand the pathetic history of HLXW. Again, can you validate the source of the Eagles' commitment.
H8ster, your research is impeccable. I can't find any resource to validate your statement. Might you help us.
The wind turbines are described as "They'll be iconic, they'll be visible, they'll be cool," said Don Smolenski, the team's chief operating officer. Dang, that sounds like HLXW's design. Still, not sure.
Looks like a revised Eagles project. Do the wind turbines still belong to HLXW?

AVXT is presenting today. http://www.regonline.com/builder/site/tab2.aspx?EventID=996528
AS always H8ster, you go to the root. Great dot connecting.
Yes, I agree. That $120,000 investment by Tourniquet will obviously fund management. And, it is pathetic to understand that it will fund only two individuals. But my question is, why would a sober investment firm invest into a sinking ship?
How does this sinking ship manage to interest investors?
Effective as of September 16, 2011, Helix Wind, Corp. (the “Company") executed a Line of Credit Agreement (the “LOC Agreement”) with Tonaquint, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Investor”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Investor agreed to provide loans to the Company in an amount up to $120,000.00. Pursuant to the terms of the LOC Agreement, the Company issued the Investor a convertible secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000.00
The reporting person exchanged the 9% Convertible Debenture into 216,216 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock may be converted at the reporting person's option into Common Stock of the Issuer. The reporting person is Kevin Claudio, Chief Financial Officer. That part is easy. How can that conversion to common shares by Claudio be the end?
Effective as of August 12, 2011, the Company executed a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with St. George Investments, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Investor”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to exchange 5 outstanding convertible promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $525,857 for a consolidated secured convertible promissory note in the amount of $525,857 (the “Consolidated Note”) and agreed to issue a convertible secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $49,297 (the “New Note”).
I am so curious. Why would St. George continue to invest into a defunct company?
The agenda here is very confusing, but at the same time very revealing. We have participants bashing a sub, sub, sub, penny stock. How revealing. Please, provide us with substantive information, not speculation. Or, this stock is going to the Moon, and we are going to leave you behind. Now, that is definately speculation.
Sorry about the truth, any body that plays the Lottery is a desperite idiot.
No risk, no gain. It astounds me that there are elements that love the demise of an eco-friendly, no noise, bird friendly, urban possibility of, and for renewable energy. I would love to have a conversation with you in a few months. Bad or Good.
Just purchased 2mil shares. I love this position. At this level, it is a simple risk. The loss is easy, however, the gains are exponential. Those Idiots plant 2.4 mil dollars worth of wind turbines on the Eagles Stadium, or perhaps, a military contract, and this stock might gain a few cents. I agree, this company will never be featured on CSNBC. However, the value is in the patent. No risk, no gain.
H8ster, I love your detailed transitional analysis. You go to the root. How would you comment on the recent 8K "strategic transaction" which claims to be a min of 2.5 m?
I wonder if that "strategic transaction" has anything to do with the Eagles Stadium?
I completely agree roebear. It still appears that S. George continues to finance them. No investment firm would behave that stupidly chasing a lost cause. Something is up and I would bet that the special design of that turbine is the reason. No risk, no gain.
St. George's Investments is included in the 5. Other than the power distribution, does anyone have an insight to this strategy?
I realize it does not look good, which is frankly old news, but why would St. George continue to finance them?
On April 6, 2011, the Company received $50,000 as part of the Note Purchase Agreement executed on March 21, 2011 from the financing transaction with St. George Investments, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company. Reference is made to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the SEC on March 23, 2011, and the exhibits of that report, for a complete discussion of the terms and conditions of the Notes and related financing.

Helix Wind, Inc. (not corp) is defined as Helix Wind Corp's subsidiary. The statement also claims that the loan is guaranteed by this company, Helix Wind, Inc. Can anybody shed light on this relationship?
Are we suggesting, that this is all to pay their salaries?
