Item 2.02   Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On April 27, 2006, Simtek Corporation (the "Company") issued a press
release titled, "Simtek Reports First Quarter 2006 Financial Results".

     Consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2006 is $4.7 million compared
to $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 70 percent,
reflecting the effects of adding the nvSRAM business that was acquired from ZMD,
as well as increasing demand. Net loss for the first quarter of 2006 was $1.9
million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.02
per share, in the fourth quarter of 2005. Net loss in the first quarter includes
non-cash charges of $448,000 for amortization of the non-compete agreement with
ZMD, and $118,000 for expenses related to employee stock options, plus
"first-time" operating expenses of $226,000 for Simtek's European subsidiary,
Simtek GmbH. Excluding the non-cash charges the pro-forma net loss for the
quarter was less than $1.4 million. There were no comparable charges in the
fourth quarter of 2005 for these three first-quarter charges. As of March 31,
2006, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of $2.8 million and a total
cash balance of $5.1 million.

     The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form
8-K Current Report.
