Molybdenum Forcing Pass System:

S ---- N

P --- 1 (1) (opening hand, 0-bad 12)

1NT --- 4 (15-18 balanced, texas transfer)

4 --- P (completed transfer)

 

By the way, without the A in North's hand the bidding goes:

 

P --- 1 (1) (opening hand, 0-5 with 5 OR slam oriented with at least 5 )

2 --- P (or 3) (3+ hearts)

1-1 16+, excluding GF/8+ (almost) any

1N-2 16-19 bal/transfer

2-3 denies 4-card support/6+ , mild slam try (some negative inferences available)

4 No particular slam interest if partner can't bid anything stronger than 3

 

If E doubles 1, the auction could continue the same way. The alternative is that S passes, showing a balanced 16-19 without a stop, but I think Q9xx is safe enough. In that latter case, N ends up playing 4 on a similar sequence.
