There were no material unusual charges or credits to operations during the recently completed fiscal quarter. The results reported for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be expected for the entire year. Note (2) Mortgage and Subsequent Sale and Lease Back of Corporate Training, Development and Headquarters Facility On April 21, 1992 the Company consummated an agreement with the Lexington Savings Bank of Lexington, MA. to mortgage the Company's development, training and headquarters facility, located at 1000 Main Street, Acton, Massachusetts. The original principal amount of the mortgage was $560,000. In October 1997 the note was extended for a one year term through October 21, 1998 with monthly payments of $5,423.00, determined according to a twenty-year amortization period including interest at 10.0%. Lexington Savings Bank's parent company, Affiliated Community Bankcorp, Inc. was purchased by UST Corp., the parent company of USTrust in August 1998. The mortgage was not renewed in October 1998. The Company entered into a second mortgage agreement on June 16, 1999 with Area Realty, LLC, the eventual buyer of the building, for $100,000 at 11% per annum. The principal and accrued interest were to be repaid in one payment on the earlier of December 31, 1999 or the date upon which the building was sold by the Company to Area Realty, LLC. On August 6, 1999 the Company sold the facility to Area Realty, LLC for $1,150,000 and signed a lease back agreement with the buyer for 7 years. As part of the lease back agreement with the buyer of the facility, the Company was required to place $80,000 on deposit with the buyer. The balance on the first and second mortgages and all accrued interest were paid in full at the time of the sale. The sale of the building resulted in a gain of approximately $298,000 that the Company deferred and is recognizing as a reduction to rent expense over the term of the lease. The monthly rent for the first three years is $12,997. For years four through seven the monthly base rent increases to $14,564. For the second through seventh year, rent may be further increased by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for the preceding year up to a maximum of three percent per annum. Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Overview Pamet Systems, Inc. (the Company or Pamet Systems), founded in 1987, designs and implements broad-based information technology solutions for public safety agencies enabling them to realize cost efficiencies and provide better service. The Company's suite of products is composed of three major components: PoliceServer NT, FireServer NT, and CADServer NT. The Company also offers several companion products including Imaging, Mobile, Advanced Reporting, JailServer NT and Mapping. In October 1999, the Company announced a three year joint venture agreement with Hanahan Computer Designs of Milford, Connecticut to develop the next generation of laptop based crime scene investigation toolkits for the public safety market, "The Investigator's Toolkit". The Company's revenues consist primarily of sales of these software applications, the associated hardware and systems integration, and support and update service fees. Although the Company's revenues for the 3 month period ended March 31, 2000 (the 2000 period) remained flat at $395,000 compared to the 3 month period ending March 31, 1999 (the 1999 period), the Company is experiencing strong bookings for its new NT-based products. Late in the 2000 period, the Company received an order from SM&A Corporation, the prime contractor for the Utica, NY Police Department. The SM&A Corporation has asked the Company to install the new PoliceServer NT records management system, the CADServer NT dispatch system and the Mobile system in Utica, NY. The Utica installation is part of the Central New York Law Enforcement Network Demonstration Project that is funded by the Department of Justice and this project will serve as a model of current law enforcement technology for mid-sized departments in the Central New York Area. The project is being managed by the National Law Enforcement Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) in Rome, NY and it is expected that the New York project will serve as a model for installations within NLECTC's thirteen state jurisdiction. The Company's core products have been completely rebuilt using modern design tools and databases and the entire suite utilizes the Windows NT operating system. The Company believes that its fully integrated native NT suite of products is one of only a few on the market today and positions the Company for future revenue growth. The bookings for the second quarter of 2000 and beyond are primarily for the NT core products. However,the shift of sales back to the core NT products that was experienced late in 1999 was not reflected in the 2000 period revenues, as the first quarter 2000 sales were composed almost entirely of support revenues and the Mobile product. The Company has continued development on the NT product suite during the 2000 period. This development has focused on system refinements and added functionality resulting from knowledge gained from the installations and production utilization of the NT product in seven communities in three states. The company spent approximately $223,000 on external resources and $171,000 of dedicated internal personnel on the development effort in the 2000 period. The primary focus of management during the 2000 period has been in three areas: current revenue and development of a sales pipeline for the NT product; completion of the development, integration of new functionality, and system refinements; and the acquisition of adequate funding to enable growth. During the 2000 period, a Vice President of Marketing joined the Company and will focus on the development of an innovative communication, marketing and product packaging strategy. Together with the Company's Vice President of Sales, this team will direct the Company's sales and marketing efforts. The Company continues to believe that significant market opportunities exist for its suite of NT-based products based on the following factors. Major federal grant programs continue to be announced that will infuse funding into the public safety market. In addition, the continuing growth in the number of E911 centers, heightened emphasis on crime in most communities and the awareness by municipalities that computer systems can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their public safety resources support the belief that the market for the Company's products will continue to grow. The Company continues to see increased emphasis on the coordination of public safety systems between neighboring town, county and state police organizations. The Company's products are designed and marketed with the option to be used in this type of regional application. Despite all of these opportunities for sales growth, the Company remains hampered by the fact that its primary market is the government sector, which is characterized by long lead times and political influence in the decision making process. As a consequence, the Company is pursuing an analysis of complementary markets and adaptations for its products. Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Net sales in the 1999 period remained flat at $395,861 compared to $395,790 for the 1999 period. The revenues for the 2000 period were comprised of one FireServer NT system, one Imaging system, and fourteen add-on Mobile units compared with two hardware upgrades, two Imaging systems, and three Mobile systems in the 1999 period. Mobile sales in both the 2000 and 1999 periods represented 36.8% of revenues. Support revenues increased 14.7% to $181,269 for the 2000 period from $158,071 for the 1999 period reflecting the increase in the customer base from the 1999 period. Cost of product decreased 12.0% or $18,017 to $131,762 for the 2000 period from $149,779 for the 1999 period despite comparable revenues in the two periods. The resulting increase in gross margin from from 62.2% in the 1999 period to 66.7% in the 2000 period can be attributed to the increase in the support revenues, improvement in system margins, and additional revenue from services. Mobile and Imaging margins were consistent for the two periods. Operating expenses increased $211,173 or 26.3% to $1,014,261 for the 2000 period compared to $803,088 for the 1999 period primarily due to the addition of sales and marketing resources, continued spending on product development, and the sale and leaseback of the Company headquarters building. Gross expenditures, including capitalized spending on the NT suite of products during the first quarter of 1999 of $58,242, only reflect an increase $152,931 or 17.8%. Personnel costs increased 39.3% to $551,342 for the 2000 period compared to $395,794 for the 1999 period. The major reasons the for the increase in personnel spending were the hiring of a Vice President of Sales, a Vice President of Marketing, a Senior Database Engineer, a Product Development Engineer for the new "Investigator's Toolkit" and three contract employees focusing on forms and documentation for the NT product line. These salaries and the associated costs including FICA, Medicare, unemployment, and health insurance of these new employees constitute a significant portion of the increase. These resources support a shift in the Company's focus from development to sales and marketing. The engineering resources are necessary to support the NT product line on an ongoing basis. The Company will continue to add strategic personnel as necessary to support expected revenue growth with an expanded market. The Company also instituted an employee incentive plan late in 1997 that provides for awards based on achievement of Company goals set by the Board of Directors. The amount of this incentive has increased significantly from the 1999 period to the 2000 period. Rent, utilities and telephone increased 165.0% to $58,220 for the 2000 period from $21,972 for the 1999 period due primarily to the sale and lease back of the headquarters facility located in Acton, MA. The Company has agreed to lease the building for seven years on a triple net lease. (See Note 2) Travel and entertainment expenses increased $6,099 or 24.1% to $31,371 for the 2000 period from $25,272 for the 1999 period. This increase primarily reflects the additional travel related to sales, trade shows, and system installations outside Massachusetts. The Company has not replaced the salesperson in the Southeast region resulting in headquarters personnel covering that territory. Professional fees decreased 39.8% to $41,082 for the 2000 period from $68,280 for the 1999 period due to decreased legal fees and consulting expenses. The decrease in legal fees resulted from a reduction in services associated with the ongoing private placement of debt and equity financing and joint ventures. Consulting fees decreased as inhouse resources are now being used for product documentation projects. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 42.4% to $28,963 for the 2000 period from $20,335 for the 1999 period reflecting the amortization of the capitalized PoliceServer NT development expenditures. This increase was partially offset by the decrease in depreciation resulting from the sale of the headquarters building in August 1999. Research and development costs during the 2000 period increased $14,573 or 7.0% to $223,372 from $208,799 in the 1999 period. However, gross expenditures on research and development spending including the costs of outside resources, the deployment of current staff to product development and testing, and the capitalized 1999 spending of $58,242, was $394,335 in the 2000 period, an increase of 9.8% over gross 1999 spending of $359,268. During the final stages of the development cycle of the NT products, the Company continues to utilize outside resources and employees hired on short-term contracts to accomplish product development goals while minimizing the long term financial commitments of the Company. This stage includes refinement of the core products, interfaces to companion products, and utilities to migrate current customers from the VMS-based system to the NT-based system. Other operating expenses increased 27.6% to $79,911 for the 2000 period from $62,636 for the 1999 period primarily due to increases in marketing expenses, automobile repairs, and tax penalties. Net interest expense for the 2000 period decreased to $38,154 from $74,060 in the 1999 period reflecting the reversal of accrued interest expense on the $250,000 of convertible promissory notes converted to equity during the 2000 period. As specified in the convertible promissory notes, the accrued interest was not payable since the note was converted. The net loss for the 2000 period was $(788,316) or $(.23) per share compared to net loss of $631,137 or $(.25) per share for the 1999 period. The loss is due primarily to increased operating expenses resulting from continued product development and refinement and the increased personnel costs which will position the Company for expected future revenue growth. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's working capital was a deficit of $(2,151,125) at March 31, 2000 compared to a deficit of $(1,501,900) at December 31, 1999 due to the reduced sales, the impact of convertible promissory notes reclassified to current liabilities, and the additional personnel expenses associated with the increased corporate infrastructure. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company secured $150,000 of additional equity financing and received $90,000 from an investor who exercised the warrants issued with his convertible note. In addition, during the 2000 period three investors converted $250,000 of convertible promissory notes to equity. Subsequent to the end of the period, an additional $200,000 in equity financing was received and two investors converted $550,000 of convertible promissory notes to equity. During the quarter, loan commitments from directors were increased to $450,000 from $300,000. In general, the outstanding convertible debt funding accrues interest at 11%, has a two-year term, carries the option of conversion of the principal to common stock by the debt holder or repayment of principal and accrued interest by the Company, and has 100% warrant coverage attached that allows for the purchase of additional shares of common stock at the conversion price of $2.50. Cash increased to $132,888 at March 31, 2000 from $40,207 at December 31, 1999. Accounts receivable decreased to $214,292 at March 31, 2000 from $619,066 at December 31, 1999 due to the reduced sales for the 1999 period and the continued use of the receivables financing agreement with Silicon Bank. While resources necessary to fund the completion of the NT development program and provide working capital for operations continue to be a focus of concern for the Company, the Company believes that the additional funding which has been secured or committed, combined with sales of the Company's suite of NT-based products should ensure continued operations through the end of the year. If additional funds are required, the Board of Directors is willing to increase its investment or seek additional financing. Backlog at May ll, 2000 was approximately $1,020,000. The Company is continuing to consider projects to increase its cash position such as activities to raise capital, mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had accumulated approximately $9,875,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire beginning in the year 2005. In addition, the Company has state net operating losses to carryforwards of $6,675,000 which expire between the years 2000 and 2004. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the rate at which a corporation may utilize its net operating losses to offset income for federal tax purposes is subject to specified limitations during periods after the corporation has undergone an "ownership change". It has been determined that an ownership change did take place at the time of the Registrant's initial public offering. However, the limitations on the loss carryforward exceed the accumulated loss at the time of the"ownership change". Thus there is no restriction on its use. Seasonality The majority of the Company's installed base has a fiscal year that commences on July 1 and, therefore, the Company bills its customers for their annual software support and update service on July 1 of each year. Consequently, cash flow representing software support revenues has tended to be higher in the second half of the Registrant's fiscal year, although software support revenues are recognized ratably throughout the fiscal year. Revenue Recognition Revenues from software license fees are recognized when a contract has been executed, the product has been delivered, all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection of the related receivable is probable. Maintenance revenues, including those bundled with the initial license fee, are deferred and recognized ratably over the service period. Consulting and training service revenues are recognized as the services are performed. Year 2000 The Company had no major problems reported from any of its customers at the beginning of year 2000. Other than some minor list orientation issues, the application functioned to specification and handled the transition from 1999 to 2000. Internally no problems were experienced with any of the administrative systems that the Company depends on for its operations. Inflation Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations to date. Forward Looking Statements This Form 10-QSB contains statements that are not historical facts.

(Hereinafter, (i) said Common Stock, together with any other equity securities which may be issued by the Company with respect thereto or in substitution therefor, is referred to as the "Common Stock," (ii) the shares of the Common Stock purchasable hereunder are referred to as the "Warrant Shares," (iii) the aggregate purchase price payable hereunder for the Warrant Shares is referred to as the "Aggregate Warrant Price," (iv) the price payable hereunder for each of the Warrant Shares is referred to as the "Per Share Warrant Price," (v) this Warrant, and all warrants hereafter issued in exchange or substitution for this Warrant are referred to as the "Warrant" and (vi) the holder of this Warrant is referred to as the "Holder.") The number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. This Warrant is issued by the Company pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company and West Country Partners (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 1. Exercise of Warrant. (a) This Warrant may be exercised, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, commencing March 30, 2000, and prior to 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, on March 29, 2005, by the Holder of this Warrant by the surrender of this Warrant (with the subscription form at the end hereof duly executed) at the address set forth in Subsection 9(a) hereof, together with proper payment of the Aggregate Warrant Price, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part. (b) The Aggregate Warrant Price or Per Share Warrant Price shall be paid in cash by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company. (c) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which the Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) above (an "Exercise Date"). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates. (d) If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant covering the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which this Warrant has not been exercised and setting forth the proportionate part of the Aggregate Warrant Price applicable to such Warrant Shares. Upon such surrender of this Warrant, the Company will (a) issue a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, and (b) deliver the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of the Warrant. (e) No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair value of a share. 2. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company agrees that, prior to the expiration of this Warrant, the Company will at all times have authorized and in reserve, and will keep available, solely for issuance or delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, the shares of the Common Stock as from time to time shall be receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. 3. Adjustments. (a) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be adjusted so that if the Holder surrendered this Warrant for exercise after such action the Holder would be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which he would have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a written notice to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after such adjustment) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of Common Stock and other capital stock. (b) In case of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company), the holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of this Warrant. The above provisions of this subsection (b) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. Notice of any such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and of said provisions so proposed to be made, shall be mailed to the Holder not less than 30 days prior to such event. A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for a consideration consisting primarily of securities shall be deemed a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes. (c) In the event of any adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Per Share Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Per Share Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately after such adjustment. (d) Whenever the Per Share Warrant Price is adjusted as provided in this Warrant and upon any modification of the rights of the Holder of this Warrant in accordance with this Section 3, the Company shall promptly prepare a certificate of an officer of the Company, setting forth the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares after such adjustment or modification, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same and cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed to the Holder. 4. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The Company agrees that the shares of the Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the proper exercise of this Warrant shall, at the time of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value or stated value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. Subject to Section 6(e) hereof, the Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance of any Warrant Shares or certificates therefor. The Holder covenants and agrees that it shall pay, when due and payable, any and all federal, state and local income or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance of any Warrant Shares or certificates therefor. 5. Transfer (a) Securities Laws. Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise hereof have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or under any state securities laws and unless so registered may not be transferred, sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless an exemption from such registration is available. In the event the Holder desires to transfer this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares issued, the Holder must give the Company prior written notice of such proposed transfer including the name and address of the proposed transferee. Such transfer may be made only either (i) upon publication by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a ruling, interpretation, opinion or "no action letter" based upon facts presented to said Commission, or (ii) upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company to the effect that the proposed transfer will not violate the provisions of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or the rules and regulations promulgated under either such act, or to the effect that the Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or transferred have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that there is in effect a current prospectus meeting the requirements of Subsection 11(a) of the Securities Act, which is being or will be delivered to the purchaser or transferee at or prior to the time of delivery of the certificates evidencing the Warrant or Warrant Shares to be sold or transferred. (b) Conditions to Transfer. Prior to any such proposed transfer (including, without limitation, a transfer by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution), and as a condition thereto, if such transfer is not made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Holder will, if requested by the Company, deliver to the Company (i) an investment covenant, in form and substance equivalent to that signed by the original Holder of this Warrant, signed by the proposed transferee, (ii) an agreement by such transferee to the restrictive investment legend set forth herein on the certificate or certificates representing the securities acquired by such transferee, (iii) an agreement by such transferee that the Company may place a "stop transfer order" with its transfer agent or registrar, and (iv) an agreement by the transferee to indemnify the Company to the same extent as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph. (c) Indemnity. The Holder acknowledges that the Holder understands the meaning and legal consequences of this Section 6, and the Holder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its representatives and each officer and director thereof from and against any and all loss, damage or liability (including all attorneys' fees and costs incurred in enforcing this indemnity provision) due to or arising out of (a) the inaccuracy of any representation or the breach of any warranty of the Holder contained in, or any other breach by the Holder of, this Warrant, (b) any transfer of the Warrant or (c) any untrue statement or omission to state any material fact in connection with the investment representations or with respect to the facts and representations supplied by the Holder to counsel to the Company upon which its opinion as to a proposed transfer shall have been based. (d) Transfer. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with assignment documentation duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, and upon compliance with the foregoing provisions, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. Any assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of this Warrant attempted contrary to the provisions of this Warrant, or any levy of execution, attachment or other process attempted upon the Warrant, shall be null and void and without effect. (e) Legend and Stop Transfer Orders. Unless the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, upon exercise of any part of the Warrant and the issuance of any of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to enter stop transfer orders with respect to such shares, and all certificates representing Warrant Shares shall bear on the face thereof substantially the following legend, insofar as is consistent with Massachusetts law: "The shares of common stock represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold, offered for sale, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless registered pursuant to the provisions of that Act or an opinion of counsel to the Company is obtained stating that such disposition is incompliance with an available exemption from such registration." 6. Loss, etc. of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination. 7.
