It sounds like they are trying to buy time to stay open to getting larger potential business driven by someone else (MTRN?) while potentially trying to ward off someone else for a hostile takeover, and that they anticipate another round of financing to stay alive, and keep their options open for larger potential contracts driven by someone else.

OR, if they really did want to retire, take the golden parachute, etc., a bidding war might be best.

So if that's the case, they might need MTRN to get more aggressive. How do they get them to do that? ... By securing a contract (even if not initially big, but a beach head) that involves MTRN.
