                     PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On December 30, 2005, Simtek Corporation (the "Company") purchased from Zentrum
Mikroelektronik Dresden AG ("ZMD") certain assets related to ZMD's nvSRAM
product line (the "ZMD Asset Acquisition"). On that same date and in connection
with the ZMD Asset Acquisition, which is described in more detail below, Simtek
and ZMD entered into a number of agreements including a License Agreement (the
"New License Agreement"). Pursuant to the New License Agreement, ZMD assigned
its rights in certain patents devoted to nvSRAM to Simtek and Simtek licensed to
ZMD the right to use Simtek's silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS)-based
nvSRAM technology for embedded functions in ZMD's non-competing products. The
licenses granted pursuant to the New License Agreement are perpetual,
non-exclusive, royalty-free and unlimited. No fees or payments are due to either
party under the New License Agreement. The New License Agreement shall remain in
effect on a country-by-country basis until all patents, trade secrets, and any
other proprietary and legal rights subject thereto have expired or ended, unless
terminated earlier by either party following a breach by the other party that
remains uncured after 30 days' written notice. In addition, Simtek and ZMD
executed a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement whereby, for a period
of five years from the closing, ZMD is prohibited from competing with certain of
Simtek's products and from hiring employees of Simtek in certain situations.

In 1994, the Company licensed certain intellectual property to ZMD, which
permitted ZMD to produce nvSRAM products that directly competed with the
products sold by the Company. During the past several years, the two companies
have competed for market share with key customers, resulting in significant
reductions in average unit selling prices. The Company believed that acquiring
the assets from ZMD would result in more price stability in the marketplace and
provide additional revenue to Simtek.

The transaction with ZMD was completed on December 30, 2005. As such, the assets
acquired are included in the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of Simtek as of
December 31, 2005, found on page 49 of Simtek's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2005, filed on April 6, 2006.

The purchase price consisted of $8 million of cash paid to ZMD, and 6,260,713
shares of Simtek common stock issued to ZMD, valued at $2 million, per the terms
of the agreement based on the volume weighted average price of the common stock
for the 60 trading days prior to the execution date of the Asset Purchase
Agreement on December 7, 2005. For accounting and financial reporting purposes,
the 6,260,713 shares issued to ZMD have been valued at $0.30 per share, pursuant
to Emering Issues Task Force 99-12 "Determination of the Measurement Date for
the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business
Combination", resulting in an accounting value of $1,882,000. The total purchase
price including transaction related costs, amounted to $10,425,000. The
transaction related costs include $272,000 investment banking costs, $240,000
legal fees, and $31,000 other.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired
as of the date of acquisition (in thousands):

                  Finished goods inventory            $     638
                  Non-competition agreement              8,910
                   Goodwill                                 877
