                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

INFORMATION ABOUT US AND OUR BUSINESS

     We  design,  develop,  produce  and  market  high  performance  nonvolatile
semiconductor  memories and metal programmed gate array products.  Nonvolatility
prevents  loss of  programs  and data  when  electrical  power is  removed.  Our
nonvolatile  memory products feature fast data access and programming speeds and
electrical reprogramming capabilities.  All of our products are targeted for use
in commercial electronic equipment markets. These markets are industrial control
systems, office automation, medical instrumentation,  telecommunication systems,
cable  television,  and numerous  military  systems,  including  communications,
radar, sonar and smart weapons.

     Our  principal  executive  office is located at 4250  Buckingham  Dr. #100;
Colorado Springs, Colorado 80907. Our telephone number is 719-531-9444.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     YOU SHOULD CONSIDER  CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE PURCHASING
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

WE HAVE  LIMITED  CAPITAL  FOR  OPERATIONS  AND MAY NEED TO RAISE  MORE MONEY TO
CONTINUE OPERATING OUR BUSINESS

     To date,  we have  required  significant  capital for product  development,
manufacturing and marketing.  From the time we started business through December
31, 2000, we have raised  approximately $32.1 million of gross proceeds from the
sale of our convertible debt and equity  securities.  During the same period, we
earned approximately $10.1 million of gross revenue from the sale of product and
technology  licenses,  approximately  $45.0  million from net product  sales and
$600,000 in royalty income.

     We believe that if we are able to increase our product sales  substantially
and with  positive  gross  margins,  our cash  requirements  for  producing  and
marketing our existing four product families will be satisfied. We are not sure,
however,  whether this increase in product sales or positive  gross margins will
occur. We may need more capital in the next year to develop new products. We are
not sure that we will be able to raise more capital.  If we cannot,  then we may
not be able to develop and market new products.

WE HAVE MADE OPERATING  LOSSES IN THE PAST AND MAY MAKE OPERATING  LOSSES IN THE
FUTURE

     We began business in 1987.  Through  December 31, 2000, we had  accumulated
losses of approximately $32.0 million. We realized net income for the first time
for the year ended December 31, 1997 and continued to realize net income through
June 30,  2000.  However,  through  December  31,  2000,  we realized a net loss
primarily as a result of  accounting  charges  from the  purchase of  incomplete
research and  development in September  2000. Our ability to return to realizing
income  will  depend on many  factors,  some of which we cannot  control.  These
factors  include  market  acceptance  of our products and the prices that we are
able to  charge,  our  ability  to  reduce  our  costs on  products  sold to the
commercial and military markets and our  subcontractors'  ability to manufacture
our products to our specifications cost effectively.

BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK IS LISTED ONLY ON THE OTC ELECTRONIC  BULLETIN BOARD IT
MAY BE MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL OUR COMMON STOCK

     Our common stock is listed on the OTC  Electronic  Bulletin Board under the
symbol SRAM.  Our common stock was listed on the NASDAQ  Small-Cap  Market until
July 18, 1995 but because we no longer met  NASDAQ's  listing  requirements,  we
transferred to the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. We may not be able to meet the
requirements for relisting our common stock on NASDAQ in the near future.

     Securities that are not listed on the NASDAQ  Small-Cap  Market are subject
to a Securities and Exchange  Commission rule that imposes special  requirements
on  broker-dealers  who sell  those  securities  to  persons  other  than  their
established customers and accredited investors. The broker-dealer must determine
that the security is suitable for the purchaser and must obtain the  purchaser's
written consent prior to the sale. These  requirements may make it difficult for
broker-dealers to sell our securities.  This may also make it more difficult for
our  security  holders to sell their  securities  and may affect our  ability to
raise more capital.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE PREFERRED STOCK

     Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of
preferred  stock in one or more  series  and to  establish  the  voting  powers,
preferences  and other rights and  qualifications  thereof,  without any further
vote or action by the shareholders. The issuance of preferred stock by our Board
of  Directors  could  affect the rights of the  holders of our common  stock and
could potentially be used to discourage attempts by others to obtain the control
of us through  merger,  tender offer,  proxy contest or otherwise by making such
attempts more difficult to achieve or more costly. Our Board of Directors has no

                                        4




specific  intention in issuing shares of preferred  stock, but given our present
capital  requirements,  it is possible that we may need to raise capital through
the sale of preferred stock in the future.

THE RISKS INVOLVED IN MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTORS MAY AFFECT OUR NET INCOME

     The  manufacturing  of  semiconductors  is very  complex and our success in
manufacturing  semiconductors  depends  on many  factors  that we are  unable to
control.  For  example,  successful  manufacturing  is  affected by the level of
contaminates in the manufacturing environment,  impurities in the materials used
and the  performance of our equipment.  These factors could reduce the number of
semiconductors  that  we are  able  to make in a  production  run,  which  would
increase our manufacturing costs. In order for us to be profitable, we must keep
our  manufacturing  costs down. We have been able to keep our overall costs down
through a number of methods including reducing the size of our chips, increasing
the number of chips per wafer,  reducing  our  packaging  costs and  eliminating
defects in the manufacturing  process. These measures may not work all the time,
however,  and we are not sure that our  existing  cost  saving  methods  will be
enough to enable us to continue generating profits.

     It  takes   approximately   three   months  for  us  to   manufacture   our
semiconductors. Any delays in receiving silicon wafers will delay our ability to
deliver our  products  to  customers.  This would delay sales  revenue and could
cause our customers to cancel  existing  orders or not place future  orders.  In
addition,  if we are not able to make  all of our  planned  semiconductors  in a
production run this could delay delivery of our products.  If our semiconductors
have  technical  problems,  we could be required to write off inventory or grant
warranty  replacements.  These delays or technical  problems  could occur at any
time and would affect our net income.

WE DEPEND GREATLY ON  SUBCONTRACTORS  AND THEIR POOR PERFORMANCE  COULD HURT OUR
OPERATIONS

     We have hired independent  subcontractors to make our silicon wafers and to
assemble  and  test  our  products.   Our  operating   results   depend  on  our
subcontractors'  ability  to  supply  us  with  silicon  wafers  that  meet  our
specifications  and to  assemble  and test  enough of our  products  to meet our
customer's needs, all at reasonable costs.

     In September 1995, we entered into an agreement with ZMD that allowed us to
purchase finished 0.8 micron units from ZMD's foundry.  We purchased these units
from ZMD's foundry  through the first half of 1998 and then  transferred  all of
our  manufacturing  over to  products  built  from  the  wafers  purchased  from
Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Plc. of Singapore ("Chartered").

     Currently,  we depend on Chartered to manufacture all of our silicon wafers
that support our nvSRAM products.  Sales of metal programmed gate array products
are supported  with 0.5 micron wafers  purchased  from United  Memories Corp. of
Taiwan  ("UMC").  If Chartered or UMC are unable to meet our silicon wafer needs
on time and at a price  that we find  acceptable,  we would  have to find  other
wafer  manufacturers.  If we  cannot  find  other  suppliers,  manufacturers  or
assemblers on  acceptable  terms,  we may not be  profitable.  In addition,  our
subcontractors  must be audited and  recertified by us on a regular basis for us
to continue to produce military- qualified products.  There is no assurance that
we will be able to complete this recertification successfully.

     Our current manufacturing  agreement with Chartered has expired.  Under our
old  agreement,  we had the right to purchase up to 600 six-inch  silicon wafers
per month from Chartered's facility in Singapore.  If we are unable to renew our
agreement  with  Chartered  or the limit on wafers  that we can  purchase is not
increased,  we may be limited in the number of semiconductors  that we can sell.
Approximately  all sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were from
products  built on wafers  purchased  from Chartered and UMC. All of our product
sales for the year ended  December 31, 2000 were based on wafers  purchased from
Chartered and UMC.

WE DEPEND ON OTHERS  FOR SALES AND  DISTRIBUTION  AND MOST OF OUR SALES ARE TO A
LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS AND DISTRIBUTORS

     We use  independent  sales  representatives  and  distributors  to sell the
majority of our products.  The agreements with these sales  representatives  and
distributors can be terminated  without cause by either party with only 30 to 90
days written notice. If one or more of our sales representatives or distributors
terminates  our  relationship,  we may not be able  to  find  replacement  sales


                                        5




representatives  and  distributors  on acceptable  terms.  This would affect our
profitability.  In addition, during 2000, approximately 47% of our product sales
were to two distributors  and one direct customer.  We are not sure that we will
be able to maintain our relationship with these distributors.

WE MAY NOT REALIZE ANY NEW LICENSE REVENUES

     We have received  substantially all of the revenue to which we are entitled
under our existing license agreements and we have not sold any new licenses.  We
are not sure  whether  we will be able to sell any more  product  or  technology
licenses in the future.

DELAYS IN OR FAILURE OF PRODUCT QUALIFICATION MAY HARM OUR BUSINESS

     Prior to  selling  a  product,  we must  establish  that it  meets  certain
performance and reliability standards. As part of this testing process, known as
product  qualification,  representative  samples of products are  subjected to a
variety of tests to ensure  that  performance  in  accordance  with  commercial,
industrial  and military  specifications.  Delays or failure by us to accomplish
product qualification for our future products will have an adverse effect on us.
Even with successful initial product  qualifications,  we cannot be certain that
we will be able to maintain product qualification or achieve sufficient sales to
meet our operating requirements.

OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO INTRODUCE NEW PRODUCTS

     Our success depends in part upon our ability to expand our existing product
families  and to  develop  and  market  new  products.  The  development  of new
semiconductor designs and technologies  typically requires substantial costs for
research  and  development.  Even if we are able to develop  new  products,  the
success of each new  product  depends on several  factors  including  whether we
selected  the proper  product and our ability to introduce it at the right time,
whether the product is able to achieve acceptable  production yields and whether
the  market  accepts  the new  product.  We are not  certain  whether we will be
successful in developing new products or whether any products that we do develop
will satisfy the above factors.

OUR RECENT PURCHASE OF INCOMPLETE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     In an  effort to expand  our  products,  we  recently  acquired  incomplete
research and development products from WebGear,  Inc., a California  corporation
("WebGear").  The incomplete  research and development we acquired should enable
us to enter the Bluetooth technology market.  However, we cannot assure you that
we will be able to enter this market.  In addition to this  incomplete  research
and development, we will be required to use significant working capital in order
to bring these products to market.

THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY CHANGES VERY RAPIDLY AND OUR BUSINESS WOULD BE HARMED
IF WE CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THESE CHANGES

     The semiconductor  industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology
and product  obsolescence,  volatile  market  patterns,  price erosion,  product
oversupply,  occasional  shortages of  materials,  variations  in  manufacturing
efficiencies and significant costs associated with capital equipment and product
development.  We cannot be certain that the technology we currently use will not
be made  obsolete by other  competing  memory  technologies.  Any one or more of
these factors could have a material effect on our financial results.

THERE IS INTENSE COMPETITION IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY

     There is intense competition in the semiconductor  industry.  We experience
competition from a number of domestic and foreign companies,  most of which have
significantly   greater  financial,   technical,   manufacturing  and  marketing
resources  than  we  have.  Our  competitors  include  major  corporations  with
worldwide  wafer  fabrication  and circuit  production  facilities  and diverse,
established product lines. We also compete with emerging companies attempting to
obtain  a share  of the  market  for  our  product  families.  If any of our new
products  achieve  market  acceptance,  other  companies  may  sell  competitive
products  at  prices  below  ours.  This  would  have an  adverse  effect on our
operating  results.  We have sold  product and  technology  licenses to Plessey,

                                        6




Nippon  Steel and ZMD.  At this time  Plessey  and  Nippon  Steel have not began
producing our products. ZMD has entered the market,  however, and may become one
of our significant competitors.

THE LOSS OF KEY EMPLOYEES COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS

     Our  success  depends  in large part on our  ability to attract  and retain
qualified  technical  and  management  personnel.   The  competition  for  these
personnel  is intense.  If we lose any of our key  personnel,  this could have a
material  adverse  affect on our  ability to  conduct  our  business  and on our
financial results.

WE DEPEND ON PATENTS TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

     We have been issued seven U.S.  patents  relating to certain aspects of our
current products and we have two applications  pending. We have also applied for
international  patents on our  technology.  We plan to  continue  to protect our
intellectual property. We are not sure that any of the patents for which we have
applied will issue or if issued, will provide us with meaningful protection from
competition.  We may also not have the money required to maintain or enforce our
patent rights.  Notwithstanding our patents,  other companies may obtain patents
similar to or  relating  to our  patents.  We have not  determined  whether  our
products are free from patent infringement.

OUR PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGY MAY INFRINGE ON OTHER PATENTS

     In the  past,  we have  been  notified  by two  companies  that some of our
products and  technologies  may be related to patents  owned by them and a third
party has  notified us that our  products or  technologies  may  infringe on two
patents  owned by that party.  At the time we received the notices,  we retained
legal counsel to evaluate  three  patents  identified in the notices but we have
not yet determined whether our products infringe on the third party patents.  We
have not  received any recent  correspondence  about these claims but we are not
sure  whether  any  further  action will be taken or that new claims will not be
asserted. If infringement claims are asserted against us and are upheld, we will
try to modify our  products so they are  non-infringing.  If we are unable to do
so, we will have to obtain a license to sell those  products or stop selling the
products  for which the  claims are  asserted.  We may not be able to obtain the
required licenses. Any successful infringement claim against us or if we fail to
obtain any required  license or are required to stop selling any of our products
would have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

     In 1998,  we received  notice of a claim for an  unspecified  amount from a
foundation that owns approximately 180 patents and 70 pending applications.  The
foundation  claims that certain  machines and processes  used in the building of
our semiconductor  devices infringe on the foundation's  patents. In April 1999,
we reached an agreement  with the  foundation  for us to purchase a nonexclusive
license of the foundation's patents.

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE

     We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock.  We do not expect to
pay  dividends in the  foreseeable  future.  We will use any earnings to finance
growth.  You should not expect to  receive  dividends  on your  shares of common
stock.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS MAY CAUSE FINANCIAL LOSSES

     Changes in foreign  currency  exchange  rates can reduce our  revenues  and
increase our costs. Under our purchase agreement with Chartered,  we buy silicon
wafers in US dollars but the  agreement  permits a price  adjustment  if the six
month  rolling  average  exchange rate changes by more than 5% from the starting
point.  In  addition,  in 2000 over 57% of our sales were  outside of the United
States.  Therefore, any large exchange rate fluctuation could increase our costs
and thus  decrease our  revenues.  We do not try to reduce our exposure to these
exchange rate risks by using hedging transactions.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

     We will receive no proceeds from the sale of shares by our shareholders.

         MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

     Our common stock is listed on the OTC  Electronic  Bulletin Board under the
symbol SRAM.  Securities not included in the NASDAQ Small-CAP Market are covered
by the Commission rule that imposes  additional  sales practice  requirements on
broker-dealers  who sell such  securities  to  persons  other  than  established
customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess
of  $5,000,000 or  individuals  with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual
income  exceeding   $200,000  or  $300,000  jointly  with  their  spouse).   For
transactions  covered  by the  rule,  the  broker-dealer  must  make  a  special
suitability  determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
agreement  to the  transaction  prior to the  sale.  Consequently,  the rule may
affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities,  which will have an
adverse effect on the ability of our security  holders to sell their  securities
and the possibility of our ability to raise additional capital.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW OF CERTAIN ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

     During 2000 and the first quarter of 2001, we made several  acquisitions of
high  technology  companies  some of which we have accounted for as a pooling of
interests.

     On May 9, 2000, we acquired  Integrated.  We issued 3,000,000 shares of our
Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of all classes of Integrated
stock.  Integrated  designs and sells  metal  programmed  gate array  integrated
circuits.  We purchased  approximately $30,000 of product from Integrated in the
year preceding the  acquisition.  The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling
of interest,  and the results of Integrated have been consolidated with ours, as
if we have been merged throughout the periods presented.

     On June 16,  2000,  we  acquired  1,875,000  shares of the common  stock of
WebGear,  in return  for  1,250,000  shares of our Common  Stock.  The shares of
WebGear stock that we acquired represented  approximately 9% of WebGear's issued
and  outstanding  shares of common stock as of June 16, 2000.  On June 16, 2000,
the closing price for our Common Stock was $1.3125 per share. WebGear is engaged
in the design, development,  sales and support of high technology networking and
communications products for the personal computer market.

     On July 31, 2000, we acquired Macrotech.  We issued 1,250,000 shares of our
Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding  shares of all classes of Macrotech
stock.  Macrotech designs and sells metal programmable standard cells, which are
an extension of the metal  programmed gate array  integrated  circuits that ILSI
manufactures.  The acquisition  was accounted for as a pooling of interest,  and
the results of Macrotech  have been  consolidated  with ours, as if we have been
merged throughout the periods presented.

     On  September  14,  2000,  we  entered  into a one-year  contract  with two
investment  bankers,  E.B.M.  Associates,  Inc. and World Trade  Partners,  each
company has received  500,000  shares of our Common Stock.  Both  companies will
assist us in  broadening  our financial  market  presence and  establishing  new
relationships within the industry,  investment community and financial media. On
September  14, 2000,  the closing  share price for our Common Stock was $ 1.0312
per share and  accordingly  $1,031,000  has been  assigned  to prepaid  investor
relations. The cost associated with this transaction is being amortized over the
life of the contract,  approximately  $301,000 was expensed in 2000. The balance
will be expensed over the term of the  contract,  ending in the third quarter of
2001.

     On September 29, 2000, we purchased  incomplete  research and  development,
patents and certain trademarks from WebGear, Inc. We originally issued 3,400,000
shares of our Common Stock which was amended in December  2000 to 2,900,000  and
returned  to  WebGear  the  1,875,000  shares of  WebGear  common  stock that we
acquired from WebGear on June 16, 2000. On September 29, 2000, the closing price
of our Common Stock was $0.8438 per share. We have valued the purchased  patents
and  trademarks at $125,000,  which was  capitalized  and recorded as intangible
assets.  We have valued the incomplete  research and  development  acquired from
WebGear at $3,962,646 based upon an evaluation by an independent firm, this cost
was expensed immediately.

     On December  6, 2000,  we signed a letter of intent to acquire  Q-DOT.  The
merger was  completed  on March 13,  2001.  We acquired  Q-DOT in  exchange  for
approximately  5,172,000 shares of our Common Stock,  valued at $4,000,000 based
on a twenty day  average  share  closing  price of  approximately  $0.77.  Q-DOT
specializes  in  advanced   technology   research  and   development   for  data
acquisition,  signal processing, imaging and data communications.  The company's
projects have been supported by conventional government and commercial contracts
in addition to Small Business Innovation  Research (SBIR) contracts.  Q-DOT will
be operated as a wholly owned  subsidiary of Simtek for its government  contract
research and development operations.  The acquisition will be accounted for as a
pooling of interest,  and the results of Q-DOT will be consolidated with ours in
future financials as if we have been merged throughout the periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     GENERAL. We have designed and developed nonvolatile  semiconductor products
since we commenced business  operations in May 1987. We have concentrated on the
design and development of the 4, 16, 64 and 256 kilobit nvSRAM product  families
and  technologies,  marketing,  distribution  channels,  and  sources of supply,
including  production at subcontractors.  With the acquisition of Integrated and
Macrotech,  we have added the  capability  to design,  develop and produce  gate
array integrated circuits.


                                       11



     In an effort to expand our products, we acquired, from WebGear,  incomplete
research and  development of certain  technology  that we intend to apply within
the emerging  Bluetooth  market  segment.  "Bluetooth" is an industry  standard,
short range wireless  communications  technology  designed to allow a variety of
electronic  devices,  such as wireless  telephone,  Personal Digital Assistants,
notebook  computers,   desktop  computers,   peripheral   input-output  devices,
television  set-top  boxes and Internet  appliances to exchange data without the
use of physical cabling.

     We  anticipate  that our  acquisition  of Q-DOT will enable us to enter the
high speed  data  communications  market,  addressing  both  wired and  wireless
applications,  based on advanced Silicon Germanium process  technology.  Silicon
Germanium  (SiGe) is rapidly  becoming the technology of choice for many analog,
mixed signal and high speed digital circuits.

     In September 1991, we began the sale of certain  commercially  qualified 64
kilobit  nvSRAM  products  based  on a  1.2  micron  technology.  After  initial
qualification  of our first product in 1991,  we began  expanding the 64 kilobit
nvSRAM product family. By the end of 1993, we had qualified the complete product
family for commercial,  industrial and military  markets and had commenced sales
of these products.  During 1995, we developed our 64 kilobit nvSRAM product on a
0.8 micron  technology,  qualification of this product occurred in 1996. In late
1996 and into 1997, we, along with  assistance  from ZMD,  completed the design,
installation  and  qualification  of our 256 kilobit product based on 0.8 micron
technology  into ZMD's wafer fab. In 1997, we installed  the 256 kilobit  nvSRAM
product based on 0.8 micron technology in Chartered's  wafer fab.  Qualification
of this product for use in the commercial and industrial market occurred in 1997
and  qualification for use in the military market occurred in the second quarter
of 1998. In the fourth  quarter 1997, we qualified the 64 kilobit nvSRAM product
built on 0.8 micron technology for sale in the commercial and industrial market.
Our metal  programmed  gate array  products are supported with 0.5 micron wafers
purchased  from UMC and 0.35 micron wafers  purchased from  Chartered.  Sales of
products built on wafers purchased from Chartered and UMC each accounted for all
of our revenue for 2000.

     REVIEW OF 2000 OPERATIONS.  Total product sales for 2000 were  $12,150,750.
Our product  sales  could have been  greater if not for a shortage in the second
half of 2000 of the raw materials  required to produce our nvSRAM  products.  We
did see an  increase  in  volume  production  orders  in 2000,  which  caused an
increase in unit shipments and a slightly overall lower average selling price as
compared to 1999.  Sales of our 4 kilobit and 16 kilobit  products  decreased in
2000 by  approximately  9% over 1999.  This decrease was due to customers  using
higher  density  parts in their  applications.  Sales of our 64 kilobit  and 256
kilobit  commercial  products saw an increase in 2000 by  approximately  63% and
145%, respectively.  These increases were due to larger production volume orders
being placed as compared to 1999.  Sales of our 64 kilobit  high-end  industrial
and military market saw a slight  increase of 3% in 2000,  while our 256 kilobit
high-end  industrial and military market saw a decrease in 2000 of approximately
65% as  compared  to  1999.  This  decrease  was due to a  decrease  in  defense
contracts in 2000.  We believe that future  defense  spending  will  increase to
historic levels, but it remains unclear when this will occur. Sales of our logic
products saw an increase of approximately  79% in 2000 as compared to 1999. This
increase  was  due  primarily  to  increased  product  demand  generated  by our
increased sales activities.

     With the  return  of  production  volume  orders  being  placed  for our 16
kilobit,  64 kilobit  and 256  kilobit  commercial  products  and an increase in
competition, we saw a decrease in our overall average selling prices as compared
to 1999. However,  with this decrease,  we saw an increase in unit shipments for
2000 as  compared  to 1999 of  approximately  6%,  56%,  178% and 76% for our 16
kilobit, 64 kilobit, 256 kilobit,  and logic commercial products,  respectively.
Our 256 kilobit  high-end  industrial  and  military  products saw a decrease of
approximately 55% in unit shipments.

     Due to the decrease in high-end  industrial and military  sales,  we had an
approximate 1% decrease in our gross margins for 2000 as compared to 1999.

     YEARS  ENDED  DECEMBER  31, 2000 AND 1999.  Our net product  sales for 2000
totaled $12,150,750  compared to $7,754,952 in 1999. The increase in net product
sales for the year ended December 31, 2000 was due primarily to increased volume
production  orders in the Far East and North America.  During 2000, sales of our
1.2  micron 64  kilobit  and 0.8 micron 256  kilobit  nvSRAM  military  products
accounted  for  approximately  14% of our sales,  while the 64  kilobit  and 256
kilobit   nvSRAM   product  based  on  0.8  micron   technology   accounted  for
approximately  41% and 30% of  sales,  respectively.  Sales of our MPGA and FPGA
logic  products  account  for  approximately  11% of our  sales.  Sales of our 4
kilobit and 16 kilobit nvSRAM products accounted for the balance of the sales in
2000. Two distributors and one direct customer of our nvSRAM products  accounted
for  approximately  47% of our net product sales for the year ended December 31,
2000.  Products  sold to  distributors  are resold to a larger  number of system
manufacturers.

     The  increase  in net loss in 2000 is  primarily  the  result of  expensing
approximately  $3,963,000 of purchased  incomplete research and development from
WebGear.  We realized a positive  gross margin of $4,422,655 in 2000 compared to
$2,928,686 in 1999 for percentages of 37% and 38%, respectively.

                                       12




     Operating  expenses were  approximately  $4,900,000 more for the year ended
December 31, 2000 than for the year ended December 31, 1999. The largest part of
this increase,  was related to research and development which had an approximate
$4,000,000  increase.  Of the  approximate  $4,000,000  increase,  approximately
$3,963,000 was due to the issuance of stock to WebGear for the purchase of their
Bluetooth  technology,  an approximate  $100,000  increase  related to headcount
changes and contract services,  an approximate  $18,000 increase in depreciation
and an approximate  decrease of $81,000  related to product  development,  legal
fees and repairs and  maintenance.  The next largest  increase of  approximately
$650,000  was  in  general  and  administration.  Of  the  approximate  $650,000
increase, approximately $301,000 was related to the amortization of the issuance
of 1,000,000 shares of stock to two investment  banker firms for services to us.
Approximately  $237,000 was related to increased  legal and audit fees  incurred
with the  acquisitions of Integrated,  Macrotech and Q-DOT,  and the purchase of
Bluetooth  technology  from  WebGear.  The  remaining  $112,000  was  related in
increased  headcount,  payroll  costs and  benefits.  Sales and marketing saw an
approximate $250,000 increase,  primarily due to approximately  $186,000 paid in
sales   commission  as  a  direct  result  of  our  increased   revenue  and  an
approximately $64,000 increase due to increased headcount.

     Other  income  for the year  ended  December  31,  2000  increased  from an
approximate  $49,000  expense at December 31, 1999 to an  approximate  income of
$136,000 at December 31, 2000. This increase was primarily due to an increase of
approximately  $69,000 in interest income, a decrease of approximately  $100,000
in interest expense and an increase of approximately $16,000 in other income.

     We had a net  loss of  $3,378,826  for the year  ended  December  31,  2000
compared to a net loss of $149,470 for the year ended December 31, 1999.

FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Our ability to maintain  profitability will depend primarily on our ability
to continue reducing our manufacturing costs and increasing net product sales by
improving the  availability  of existing  products,  by the  introduction of new
products and by expanding our customer base.

     As of December 31, 2000, we had a backlog of unshipped  customer  orders of
approximately  $7,948,000  expected  to be filled by June 30,  2001.  Orders are
cancelable  without  penalty  at the  option of the  purchaser  prior to 30 days
before scheduled  shipment and therefore are not necessarily a measure of future
product revenue.

     In 2000,  we  purchased  all of our 0.8  micron  technology  wafers for our
nvSRAM  products from a single  supplier,  Chartered.  Approximately  89% of our
sales for 2000 were from finished  units  produced from these wafers.  We had an
agreement  with Chartered to provide wafers  through  September  1998.  Although
Chartered  continues  to  provide  us wafers  under the  terms  defined  in this
contract we do not have a current agreement signed. We are, however, negotiating
with  Chartered to renew the  contract.  In 2000,  we  purchased  all of our 0.5
micron  wafers and our 0.35 micron  wafers for our MPGA and MPSC logic  products
from UMC and Chartered,  respectively.  Approximately  11% of our sales for 2000
were from finished units produced from these wafers. Currently, we do not have a
current  agreement  signed for either of these  companies  to furnish us wafers,
however,  we have seen no disruption in their supply to us. Any  disruptions  in
our  relationship  with Chartered  could have an adverse impact on our operating
results.

     ZMD,  through their license  agreement with us, has the worldwide  right to
sell  nvSRAM's  developed  jointly by us and ZMD. With volume  production  being
established  at ZMD using the 0.8 micron  product,  ZMD has begun  selling  such
nvSRAMs.  In the past year,  we did not see  increased  competition  with ZMD as
compared to the previous year. However,  due to ZMD creating a second source for
nvSRAM  products,  we believe  that their  presence  may have a positive  impact
because many large manufacturers require two sources to purchase product from.

     We intend to continue  shipping  nvSRAMs based on 0.8 micron  technology to
existing and new customers through our normal sales and marketing efforts, while
extending  our  product   offerings  of  logic  products  acquired  through  the
Integrated and Macrotech  acquisitions.  We will also begin  development of high
performance  data  communications  products based on Silicon  Germanium  process
expertise gained through our acquisition of Q-DOT.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     From inception through December 31, 2000, we have approximately $32,100,000
of gross proceeds from the sale of convertible debt and equity securities.  From
inception  through December 31, 2000, we generated  $10,085,000 of gross revenue
from the sale of product and technology licenses, approximately $45,215,000 from
net product sales and $600,000 in royalty income.

     Under the  Cooperation  Agreement  entered into with ZMD in September 1995,
ZMD had the right to convert all financing  into shares of our Common Stock at a
price of $0.175 per share for all monies paid in 1995 and at the  average  share
price of the quarter the monies were paid for all monies paid in 1996.  In 1996,
we received  $378,551  under this agreement of which $248,398 was converted into
1,353,374  shares of our Common Stock at a price of $.1548 and 165,000 shares of
our Common  Stock at a price of $.2358.  The  payable  to ZMD of  $130,153  that
showed on the balance  sheet at December  31, 1999 was  converted  into  551,964
shares of our Common Stock.  During 2000,  ZMD began selling their shares of our
Common Stock.

     On June 12, 1998,  we closed a $1,500,000  financing  transaction  with two
funds  advised  by  Renaissance.   The  funding  from  Renaissance  consists  of
$1,500,000 of convertible  debentures  with a seven year term at a 9 percent per
annum  interest  rate  (the  "Debentures").   In  the  first  quarter  of  2000,
Renaissance  converted  all  $1,500,000 of the  Debentures  into an aggregate of
7,692,308 shares of our Common Stock.

     On May 9, 2000, we acquired  Integrated in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of
our Common Stock worth  approximately  $3,500,000 based on the closing price per
share of ($1.1875) on the closing date.

     On June 16,  2000,  we  acquired  1,875,000  shares of the common  stock of
WebGear,  in return for 1,250,000 shares of our Common Stock worth approximately
$1,640,000  based on the closing price per share  ($1.3125) on the closing date.
On September 29, 2000, we purchased incomplete research and development, patents
and certain  trademarks  from WebGear,  Inc. We issued  3,400,000  shares of our
Common  Stock and  returned to WebGear the  1,875,000  shares of WebGear  common
stock that we acquired  from WebGear on June 16,  2000.  In December  2000,  the
agreement was amended and WebGear returned 500,000 shares of our Common Stock to
us  making  the  total  number  of  shares  for  this  phase  2,900,000,   worth
approximately  $2,447,000,  based on the closing price of our Common  Stock.  On
September 29, 2000, the closing price of our Common Stock was $0.8438 per share.

     On July 31, 2000, we acquired  Macrotech for 1,250,000 shares of our Common
Stock  worth  approximately  $1,700,000  based on the  closing  price  per share
($1.375) on the closing date.

     On December  6, 2000,  we signed a letter of intent to acquire  Q-DOT.  The
merger  was  completed  on March 13,  2001 for  consideration  of  approximately
5,172,000 shares of our Common Stock, valued at $4,000,000 based on a twenty day
average share closing price of approximately $0.77 prior to the closing date.

     Our cash balance at December 31, 2000 was $2,847,110.

     Our future  liquidity  will depend on our revenue growth and our ability to
sell our  products  at  positive  gross  margins  and  control of our  operating
expenses.

     For the year ended December 31, 2000,  cash flow provided by operations was
$773,786, which is primarily due to a net loss of $3,378,826, which is offset by
the WebGear asset  purchase of  $3,962,645,  depreciation  and  amortization  of
$307,837,  investment  bank  stock  issuance  of  $300,767,  a change in reserve
accounts  of  $196,407,  an  increase of accounts  receivable  of  $366,994,  an
increase of inventory  of $85,270,  an increase in prepaid and other of $117,579
and a net  increase  in accounts  payable  and accrued  expenses of $5,944 and a
decrease in customer  deposits of $53,010.  The increase in depreciation was due
primarily to the addition of  Macrotech's  computer and software and addition of
equipment  required to test our products.  The investment  banker stock issuance
was related to the  amortization of the stock issuance to E.B.M. and World trade
partners. The change in reserve accounts, accounts receivable, and inventory was
due to  increased  product  sales.  The  increase  in prepaid  and other was due
primarily caused by our requirement to prepay for our wafer outs if we are above
our credit  limit.  The  decrease  in customer  deposits  was  primarily  due to
customers prepaid certain orders at the end of 1999 and the product did not ship
to them until 2000.

     The use of cash  flows in  investing  activities  was due to  purchases  of
equipment  related to the  testing of our 64 kilobit  and 256  kilobit  products
built on 0.8  micron  technology  and the  purchase  of  computer  and  software
required for research and development.

     The cash  flows  provided  by  financing  was  primarily  the result of the
exercise of stock options which was offset by the payment of a notes payable.

     For the year ended December 31, 1999,  cash flow provided by operations was
$238,931,  which is  primarily  due to  depreciation  of  $247,502,  a change in
reserve accounts of $90,936, an increase of accounts receivable of $270,510, and
a net increase in accounts  payable,  accrued expenses and customer  deposits of
$423,533.  The increase in accounts  receivable was due to a large revenue month


                                       14





in  December  1999,  from  which the cash will not be  received  until the first
quarter of 2000.  The  increase in  accounts  payable  was due  primarily  to an
increase in product  demand  which  requires  us to maintain a larger  wafer and
work-in-progress  inventory,  which is payable to our  subcontractors  on 30 day
terms and to the  purchase  of  software  that is being  paid for on a five year
capital lease.

     The use of cash flows in investing  activities  for the year ended December
31, 1999, was due to purchases of equipment related to the testing of our nvSRAM
products and  manufacturing  and test  equipment for our metal  programmed  gate
array products and from the purchase of a restricted certificate of deposit. The
$179,310 of equipment purchased consisted primarily of test fixtures and burn-in
boards to  support  products  manufactured  at  Chartered  and a reticle  set to
support  manufacturing  of our metal  programmed  gate array  products at UMC. A
$300,000  certificate  of deposit was  established  as collateral for a $300,000
letter of credit that is required by one of our  suppliers  in the event that we
default on payments.

     The cash flows provided by financing activities was primarily the result of
proceeds from notes payable and capital contributions.

ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS

     In 1998,  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards 133, Accounting for
Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities  was  issued.   Statement  133
establishes  accounting and reporting  standards for derivative  instruments and
for hedging activities.  It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial  position and measure
those  instruments as fair value.  This statement is effective for the Company's
financial  statements  for the year ended  December 31, 2001 and the adoption of
this  standard  is not  expected  to have a  material  effect  on the  Company's
financial statements.

INFLATION

     The impact of inflation on our business has not been material.

                                    BUSINESS

GENERAL

     We have designed and developed nonvolatile  semiconductor products since we
began business  operations in May 1987. We have  concentrated  on the design and
development  of the 4,  16,  64 and 256  kilobit  nvSRAM  product  families  and
technologies, distribution channels, and sources of supply, including production
at  subcontractors.  With our  acquisition in 2000 of Integrated  Logic Systems,
Inc. ("Integrated") and Macrotech Semiconductor ("Macrotech"), we have added the
capability to design, develop and produce gate array integrated circuits.

     In September  2000,  we  purchased  incomplete  research  and  development,
patents and certain trademarks from WebGear,  Inc. Simtek has established a core
business within the nonvolatile SRAM application  segment,  and is now expanding
into other  technology  areas  including logic and data  communication  markets.
These additional product families are intended to allow more rapid total revenue
growth and to reduce the risk inherent in our historic dependence on one product
family.

     As of December  31,  2000,  our backlog for  released  purchase  orders was
approximately  $7,948,000,  all of which is expected  to ship by June 30,  2001.
Orders are cancelable without penalty at the option of the purchaser prior to 30
days before  scheduled  shipment and therefore are not  necessarily a measure of
future  product  revenue.  During the year ended December 31, 2000, we generated
net revenue of approximately $12,000,000 from the sale of products.

     We are in  production of our first four  families of memory  products,  256
kilobit,  64 kilobit,  16 kilobit and 4 kilobit nonvolatile static random access
memories  ("nvSRAMs").  Our 256 kilobit  nvSRAM was  qualified in 1997 for sales
into  commercial  and  industrial  markets  and in 1998  for  shipment  into the
military  market.  Our 64 kilobit  nvSRAMs meet or exceed the  requirements  for
sales into  commercial,  industrial and military  markets.  Our 16 kilobit and 4
kilobit  nvSRAMs have been  qualified for sales into  commercial  and industrial
markets.  Our nvSRAMs are physically  smaller and require less  maintenance than
SRAM devices that achieve  nonvolatility  through the use of internal  batteries
and are more convenient to use than SRAM devices that achieve  nonvolatility  by
being combined with additional chips.

     Our metal  programmed  gate  array  products  ("MPGA")  are used to replace
programmable  logic  devices when a customer has completed his system design and
requires cost-reduced integrated circuits for volume manufacturing. Each MPGA is
configured  using the  individual  customer's  design  files and is built to his
specific requirements.

     We  reduce  capital  requirements  by  subcontracting  all  phases  of  the
manufacturing process.  Chartered Semiconductor  Manufacturing Plc. of Singapore
("Chartered")  began  providing  silicon  wafers  for  our  nvSRAM  products  in
September  1993 and continues to provide  wafers based on our 0.8 micron product
technology.  United  Memories  Corp.  of Taiwan  ("UMC") and  Chartered  provide
silicon wafers for our MPGA products based on 0.5 micron and 0.35 micron product
technology,  respectively.  Amkor  Technology  and Amkor Test  Services  provide
assembly and final test services,  respectively,  for our nvSRAM  products built
from the wafers purchased from Chartered. Advanced Semiconductor Engineering and
IPAC  provide  assembly  services  for our MPGA  products.  Testing  of our MPGA
products is done either internally or by Multitech Design and Test.

     During 2000,  all of the wafers used to produce our nvSRAM's were purchased
from Chartered..  Sales of these products accounted for approximately 89% of our
revenue for 2000.  Wafers were  purchased from both Chartered and UMC in 2000 to
support our MPGA products.  Sales of these products  accounted for approximately
11% of our revenue for 2000.

     We currently  have three sales and marketing  offices,  located in Colorado
Springs,  Colorado,  Bristol,  England and Atlanta,  Georgia. We have engaged 17
independent   representative   organizations   with  40  sales  offices  and  31
distributor  organizations  with 105 sales  offices.  These  organizations  have
multiple  sales  offices  and sales  personnel  covering  specific  territories.
Through these  organizations and their sales offices we are capable of serving a
worldwide market.

ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

     On May 9, 2000, we acquired  Integrated.  We issued 3,000,000 shares of our
Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of all classes of Integrated
stock.  Integrated  designs and sells  metal  programmed  gate array  integrated
circuits.  We purchased  approximately $30,000 of product from Integrated in the
year preceding the acquisition.


                                       16




     On June 16,  2000,  we  acquired  1,875,000  shares of the common  stock of
WebGear,  in return for 1,250,000  shares of our Common Stock.  On September 29,
2000,  we purchased  incomplete  research and  development,  patents and certain
trademarks  from WebGear,  Inc. We  originally  issued  3,400,000  shares of our
Common  Stock which was amended in December  2000 to  2,900,000  and returned to
WebGear the  1,875,000  shares of WebGear  common  stock that we  acquired  from
WebGear on June 16, 2000.

     On July 31, 2000, we acquired Macrotech.  We issued 1,250,000 shares of our
Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding  shares of all classes of Macrotech
stock.  Macrotech designs and sells metal programmable standard cells, which are
an extension of the metal  programmed gate array  integrated  circuits that ILSI
manufactures.

     On  September  14,  2000,  we  entered  into a one-year  contract  with two
investment  bankers,  E.B.M.  Associates,  Inc. and World Trade  Partners,  each
company has received  500,000  shares of our Common Stock.  Both  companies will
assist us in  broadening  our financial  market  presence and  establishing  new
relationships within the industry, investment community and financial media.

     On December 6, 2000,  we signed a letter of intent to acquire  Q-DOT Group,
Inc ("Q-DOT").  The merger was completed on March 13, 2001. We acquired Q-DOT in
exchange  for  approximately  5,172,000  shares of our Common  Stock,  valued at
$4,000,000  based on a twenty day average share  closing price of  approximately
$0.77.  Q-DOT  specializes in advanced  technology  research and development for
data  acquisition,  signal  processing,  imaging  and data  communications.  The
company's projects have been supported by conventional government and commercial
contracts in addition to Small Business  Innovation  Research (SBIR)  contracts.
Q-DOT will be operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Simtek for its government
contract research and development operations.  The acquisition will be accounted
for as a pooling of interest, and the results of Q-DOT will be consolidated with
ours in future financials as if we have been merged throughout the periods.

     MEMORY INDUSTRY AND PRODUCT BACKGROUND

     The semiconductor  memory market is large and highly  differentiated.  This
market covers a wide range of product  densities,  speeds,  features and prices.
The ideal memory would have (1) high bit density per chip to minimize the number
of chips  required in a system;  (2) fast data read and write  speeds to allow a
system's  microprocessor  to access data without having to wait; (3) the ability
to read and modify data an unlimited  number of times; (4) the ability to retain
its data  indefinitely  when  power is  interrupted  (i.e.  nonvolatility);  (5)
availability in a variety of package types for modern assembly  techniques;  and
(6) the  ability  to be tested  completely  by the  manufacturer  to ensure  the
highest quality and  reliability.  Although  customers would like to have memory
components  with  all of  these  attributes  it  currently  is  not  technically
feasible.  Therefore,  the memory market is segmented  with  different  products
combining different mixes of these attributes.

     Semiconductor  memories can be divided into two main  categories,  volatile
and nonvolatile.  Volatile memories generally offer high densities and fast data
access  and  programming   speeds,  but  lose  data  when  electrical  power  is
interrupted.  Nonvolatile  memories  retain  data in the  absence of  electrical
power,  but typically  have been subject to speed and testing  limitations  they
also wear out if they are modified too many times.  There are a number of common
volatile and nonvolatile product types, as set forth below. The list of products
under  "Combinations"  is  limited  to  single  packages  and does  not  include
combinations  of the listed  memories  in  separate  packages,  such as SRAMs in
combination with EPROMs and EEPROMs.

     Volatile         Nonvolatile       Combinations
     --------         -----------       ------------
     SRAM             EEPROM            nvSRAM
     DRAM             Flash Memory      NVRAM
                      EPROM             SRAM plus lithium battery ("Batram")
                      PROM
                      ROM


     VOLATILE MEMORIES.  Rewritable semiconductor memories store varying amounts
of  electronic  charge  within  individual  memory  cells to perform  the memory
function.  In a  Dynamic  Random  Access  Memory  (DRAM),  the  charge  must  be
electrically refreshed many times per second or data are lost even when power is
continuously  applied.  In a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), the charge need
not be refreshed, but data can be retained only if power is not interrupted.

     Nonvolatile Memories. A Read Only Memory (ROM) is programmed (written) once
in the later stages of the  manufacturing  process and cannot be reprogrammed by
the user.  Programmable  Read Only Memory (PROM) can be  programmed  once by the


                                       17




user,  while  Erasable  PROM (EPROM) may be  reprogrammed  by the user a limited
number of times if the EPROM is removed from the circuit board in the equipment.
Both Flash memory and  Electrically  Erasable PROM (EEPROM) may be  reprogrammed
electrically  by the user  without  removing  the  memory  from  the  equipment.
However,  the reprogramming  time on both EEPROM and Flash memory is excessively
long compared to the read time such that in most systems the microprocessor must
stop for a relatively long time to rewrite the memory.

     COMBINATIONS.  Many customers use a combination of volatile and nonvolatile
memory  functions  to  achieve  the  desired  performance  for their  electronic
systems.  By using SRAMs in combination  with EPROM and EEPROM chips,  customers
can achieve  nonvolatility  in their systems and still retain the high data read
and write speeds associated with SRAM memories.  This approach,  however, is not
desirable  in many  applications  because  of the size  and  cost  disadvantages
associated  with using two or more chips to  provide a single  memory  function.
Also,  it may take up to several  seconds to transfer  the data from the SRAM to
the EEPROM;  an excessive  time at power loss.  As a result,  attempts have been
made to combine  nonvolatile and volatile memory features in a single package or
silicon chip. One approach  combines an SRAM with lithium  batteries in a single
package.

     Nonvolatile   random  access  memories   (NVRAMs)   combine   volatile  and
nonvolatile  memory  cells on a single  chip and do not  require a  battery.  We
believe our nvSRAM represents a significant  advance over existing products that
combine  volatility  and  nonvolatility  on a single silicon chip. We combine an
SRAM memory  cell with an EEPROM  memory  cell to create a small  nvSRAM  memory
cell.  Our unique and  patented  memory  cell  design  enables  the nvSRAM to be
produced at densities  higher than existing  NVRAMs and at a lower cost per bit.
In addition to high density and  nonvolatility,  the nvSRAM has fast data access
and  program  speeds  and the SRAM  portion of the  memory  can be  modified  an
unlimited number of times without wearing out.

     MEMORY TECHNOLOGY

     We use an advanced  implementation  of  silicon-nitride-oxide-semiconductor
(SNOS) technology. SNOS technology stores electrical charge within an insulator,
silicon  nitride,  and uses a thin tunnel  oxide  layer to separate  the silicon
nitride layer from the underlying  silicon substrate.  SNOS technology  prevents
tunnel oxide rupture in the memory cell from causing an immediate  loss of data.
Oxide  rupture has been a major  cause of  failures  in Flash and EEPROMs  using
floating  gate  technology,  where charge is stored on a  polysilicon  conductor
surrounded by insulators.  To protect against these failures, many floating gate
EEPROMs have required  error  correction  circuitry and redundant  memory cells.
This increases product cost by requiring more silicon area. Error correction and
redundancy  are not required for our  products to protect  against  tunnel oxide
rupture.  In addition,  our product  designs  incorporate a special test feature
which can predict data retention time for every individual  memory cell based on
measuring the rate of charge loss out of the silicon nitride.

     The SNOS  technology  coupled  with our  nvSRAM  memory  cell  allows  high
performance nonvolatile SRAMs to be manufactured using complementary metal oxide
semiconductor  (CMOS) technology.  The SNOS technology that we use has proven to
be highly  reliable,  as  demonstrated by our product  qualification  results to
date.

     MEMORY PRODUCTS

     nvSRAMS (NONVOLATILE STATIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORIES). Our 256 kilobit,
64  kilobit,  16  kilobit  and 4 kilobit  nvSRAM  product  families  consist  of
nonvolatile   memories   that   combine   fast  SRAM  and   nonvolatile   EEPROM
characteristics  within each  memory cell on a single chip of silicon.  The SRAM
portion of the  nvSRAM is  operated  in the same  manner as most  existing  SRAM
products. The SRAM can be written to and read from an unlimited number of times.
The EEPROM can be  programmed,  depending  upon device type,  by user control or
automatically by transferring the SRAM contents into the EEPROM. The EEPROM data
can be  transferred  back  into  the  SRAM by user  control  or the  data can be
transferred automatically.

     Our nvSRAMs have fast data access speeds of 20, 25, 35 and 45  nanoseconds.
These  data  access  speeds  correspond  to  those  of fast  SRAMs  and meet the
requirements of much of the fast SRAM market. The high speed  characteristics of
our nvSRAMs allow them to be used in applications  with various high performance
microprocessors  and digital signal  processors  such as those  manufactured  by
Intel Corp., Texas Instruments and Motorola.  Our nvSRAMs can be used to replace
SRAMs with lithium  batteries  and  multiple  chip  solutions  such as SRAM plus
EEPROM or Flash Memory.

     We finalized commercial and industrial qualification of two versions of our
initial 64 kilobit  nvSRAM  product  offering in September  1991 and April 1992,
respectively.  We completed military  qualification of our initial nvSRAM in May
1992. We began sales into the commercial market of our initial 16 kilobit nvSRAM


                                       18




product  family in 1992.  The nvSRAM  product family also includes the 4 kilobit
version.  We  completed  the  development  and product  qualification  of the 64
kilobit  AutoStoreTM  nvSRAM  in 1993.  The  AutoStoreTM  version  automatically
detects  power loss and  transfers  the data from the SRAM cells into the EEPROM
cells. This device does not require instructions or intervention from the system
microprocessor  to  notify  it of the  power  loss.  Commercial  and  industrial
qualification   of  our  256  kilobit  nvSRAM  occurred  in  1997  and  military
qualification  of our 256 kilobit  nvSRAM was completed in the second quarter of
1998.

     PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC DEVICE INDUSTRY

     The  electronics  industry  uses logic  integrated  circuits  to  configure
systems to perform specific  functions within a system.  Field Programmable Gate
Arrays  (FPGAs) and  Complex  Programmable  Logic  Devices  (CPLDs)  have become
popular for this purpose, and are supplied by a number of major suppliers,  such
as  Xilinx  and  Altera.  These  products  provide  high  performance,  flexible
solutions,  but are expensive when compared to non-programmable,  fixed function
application  specific products.  Simtek's MPGAs provide a low-cost,  high volume
alternative to the programmable logic products.  We entered this product segment
through our acquisitions of Integrated and Macrotech in 2000.

         MPGA TECHNOLOGY

     Simtek  uses  standard  logic  wafer  processing   available  from  various
subcontract fabrication facilities. We currently contract with UMC in Taiwan for
0.5 micron  technology  and with Chartered  Semiconductor  in Singapore for 0.35
micron technology. We plan to migrate the technology to a 0.25 micron process as
the market develops.

     Simtek's  conversion  tools  support  direct  netlist  conversion to create
drop-in  replacements  at a fraction of the FPGA or CPLD cost. We can support up
to  approximately 1 million logic gates plus dual port RAM. We also support full
scan test without any area penalty with our Integrated Testability feature.

     MPGA PRODUCTS

     MPGA  products  are  built to  order  based on  customer  designs  that are
electronically transferred to our design workstations. Our engineers then verify
the design and  implement it in the  appropriate  technology to provide the most
cost effective solution available for the customer.

PRODUCT  WARRANTIES.  We presently  provide a one-year  limited  warranty on our
products.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Many  of our  research  and  development  activities  are  centered  around
developing  new products  and  reducing the cost of our nvSRAM  products and the
development and design of customer specific metal programmed gate array. We have
reduced our costs by  introducing  our 0.8 micron  technology.  This  technology
reduced the size of the 64 kilobit  nvSRAM chip and enabled us to develop a cost
effective 256 kilobit nvSRAM.  We are continuing our efforts to improve yield on
the 0.8 micron technology.  In order to further reduce costs, we engaged Integra
Technologies,  now Amkor Test Services in the fourth quarter 1997 for testing of
our 0.8  micron  products.  We have a test  floor  used  for  evaluation  of our
technologies,  product designs and product quality.  The test floor is also used
for production testing of silicon wafers.

     In an effort to expand our products, we acquired, from WebGear,  incomplete
research and  development of certain  technology  that we intend to apply within
the emerging  Bluetooth  market  segment.  "Bluetooth" is an industry  standard,
short range wireless  communications  technology  designed to allow a variety of
electronic  devices,  such as wireless  telephone,  Personal Digital Assistants,
notebook  computers,   desktop  computers,   peripheral   input-output  devices,
television  set-top  boxes and Internet  appliances to exchange data without the
use of physical cabling. We plan to spend  approximately  $750,000 over the next
year  in  order  to  develop  and  manufacture  integrated  circuits  using  the
technology in Bluetooth applications.

     We  anticipate  that our  acquisition  of Q-Dot will enable us to enter the
high speed  data  communications  market,  addressing  both  wired and  wireless
applications,  based on advanced Silicon Germanium process  technology.  Silicon
Germanium  (SiGe) is rapidly  becoming the technology of choice for many analog,
mixed signal and high speed  digital  circuits.  We plan to spend  approximately
$350,000  over the next  year in order to  develop  and  manufacture  integrated
circuits using the SiGe process technology.


                                       19




     Our research and development  expenditures for the years ended December 31,
2000 and 1999 were approximately $5,637,799 and $1,640,025, respectively. Of the
$5,637,799   expenditure  incurred  in  2000,  $3,962,646  was  related  to  the
incomplete  research and  development we purchased  from WebGear with stock.  We
intend to  continue  expenditures  on research  and  development;  however,  the
percentage  of research  and  development  expenditures  is expected to decrease
relative to expenditures  relating to the commercial  production of our existing
products.

MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY CONTROL

     Our  manufacturing  strategy  is to  use  subcontractors  whose  production
capabilities meet the requirements of our product designs and technologies.

     In 1992, we entered into a  manufacturing  agreement  with  Chartered  (the
"Chartered  Manufacturing  Agreement") to provide us with silicon wafers for our
products. Under the Chartered Manufacturing Agreement, Chartered has installed a
manufacturing process for versions of our current and future memory products.

     Finished wafer  procurement  reverted to Chartered during 1998 as we ceased
purchasing finished 0.8 micron units from ZMD. We used UMC for wafer procurement
of our 0.5 micron MPGA products and Chartered for wafer  procurement of our 0.35
micron MPGA  products.  During  2000,  all of our  product  revenue was based on
wafers purchased from Chartered and UMC.

     Device  packaging of our nvSRAM products  continued at the Amkor facilities
in the  Philippines  and South Korea.  Final test for 0.8 micron nvSRAM products
was established  successfully at Integra Technologies,  now Amkor Test Services,
in Wichita, Kansas. Device packaging of our metal programmed gate array products
continued  at Advanced  Semiconductor  Eng.,  Inc. in Taiwan.  Final test of our
metal  programmed  gate array  products was  completed  in our Colorado  Springs
facility and at Multitech Design and Test in San Jose, California.

     Our  subcontractors  provide  quality  control for the  manufacture  of our
products. We maintain our own quality assurance personnel and testing capability
to assist the subcontractors with their quality programs and to perform periodic
audits of the subcontractors' facilities and finished products to ensure product
integrity.

     Our quality and reliability programs were audited by several commercial and
military  customers  during  2000  as  part of  routine  supplier  certification
procedures. All such audits were completed satisfactorily.

MARKETS

     Our memory  products are targeted at fast  nonvolatile  SRAM markets,  SRAM
plus EEPROM  markets  and other  nonvolatile  memory  products  broadly  used in
commercial, industrial and military electronic systems.

     Our MPGA products are built to customer  requirements  in many  application
areas.  Therefore,  we believe that our products will address very broad markets
including these applications:

     Airborne and Space Computers           Lighting
     Automotive Control & Monitoring        Medical Instruments
     Portable Telephone Modems              Control Systems
     Portable Computers                     Currency Changers
     Postal Meters                          Data Monitoring Equipment
     Printers                               Disk Drives
     Process Control Equipment              Facsimile Machines
     Radar and Sonar Systems                Gaming
     Telecommunications Systems             GPS Navigational Systems
     Terminals                              Guidance and Targeting Systems
     Test Equipment                         High Performance Workstations
     Utility Meters                         Laser Printers
     Vending Machines                       Mainframe Computers
     Weapon Control Systems                 CD Writers
     Security Systems                       Copiers
     Broadcast Equipment                    Cable TV Set Top Converter Boxes
     Studio Recording Equipment


                                       20





We are  increasing  marketing and sales emphasis on office  automation  products
such as copiers and mass storage  systems as well as beginning new sales efforts
in data communication applications.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

     Our  strategy is to generate  sales  through the use of  independent  sales
representative agencies and distributors.  We believe this strategy provides the
fastest and most cost effective way to assemble a large and  professional  sales
force.

     We currently  have three sales and marketing  offices,  located in Colorado
Springs,  Colorado,  Bristol,  England and Atlanta,  Georgia. We have engaged 17
independent   representative   organizations   with  40  sales  offices  and  31
distributor  organizations  with 105  sales  offices.  Both  organizations  have
multiple  sales  offices  and sales  personnel  covering  specific  territories.
Through these  organizations and their sales offices we are capable of serving a
worldwide market.

     Independent  sales  representatives  typically  sell a  limited  number  of
noncompeting  products to semiconductor users in particular  geographic assigned
territories.  Distributors  inventory  and sell products from a larger number of
product  lines  to  a  broader   customer   base.   These  sales   channels  are
complementary,  as  representatives  and  distributors  often work  together  to
consummate a sale,  with the  representative  receiving a commission from us and
the  distributor  earning a markup on the sale of the products.  We supply sales
materials to the sales representatives and distributors.

     For our marketing  activities,  we evaluate external  marketing surveys and
forecasts  and  perform  internal  studies  based,  in part,  on inputs from our
independent sales representative agencies. We prepare brochures, data sheets and
application notes on our products.

CUSTOMERS AND BACKLOG

     We have shipped qualified nvSRAM products to customers directly and through
distributors  since the September 1991  commercial  product  qualification;  the
majority of our customers are Fortune 500  companies.  Approximately  40% of our
net  product  sales  during  2000  were  to  customers  in the  Pacific  Rim and
approximately 17% were to customers in Europe.  The remaining product sales were
to customers in North America.

     As of December 31, 2000, we had a backlog of unshipped  customer  orders of
approximately  $7,948,000,  which is  expected  to be filled  by June 30,  2001.
Orders are cancelable without penalty at the option of the purchaser prior to 30
days before  scheduled  shipment and therefore are not  necessarily a measure of
future product revenue.

     During  2000,  we  continued to receive  initial and  scheduled  production
orders on our 64  kilobit  and 256  kilobit  product.  We  believe  that we will
continue to receive volume production orders on these products.

LICENSES

     PRODUCT AND TECHNOLOGY  LICENSE SALES.  We have sold product and technology
licenses  to Nippon  Steel,  Plessey and ZMD.  Based on prior  actions by Nippon
Steel and Plessey,  we don't anticipate any future activity on the licenses with
Nippon Steel and Plessey.

     ZMD. In June of 1994, we signed a joint  development  agreement with ZMD to
install the 1.2 micron  products for  manufacture at ZMD and to jointly  develop
the 0.8 micron technology at Chartered.  The Agreement was modified in August of
1994 by a Letter of Intent between us to bypass the  installation  of 1.2 micron
technology at ZMD and instead modify the 0.8 micron technology to run in the ZMD
factory.  ZMD has paid us all the  monetary  requirements  under this  agreement
including  any  royalties we may receive from sales of these  jointly  developed
products.

     CHARTERED.  In September of 1992, we entered into a manufacturing agreement
with Chartered. This agreement grants Chartered the right to manufacture silicon
wafers  containing  our products  solely for sale to us.  Chartered also has the
right to  manufacture  silicon  wafers  in  connection  with  future  technology
licenses we may enter into with third parties.


                                       21





     Future License Sales. We intend to sell product and technology  licenses on
a  selective  basis.  We  will  continue  to  seek  licensing  partners  who can
contribute  to the  development  of the nvSRAM  market and provide a  meaningful
level of revenue to us while not posing an undue threat in the marketplace.

COMPETITION

     Our products compete on the basis of several factors, including data access
and programming speeds, density, data retention, reliability, testability, space
savings, manufacturability, ease of use and price.

     Products   that  compete  with  our  family  of  nvSRAMs  fall  into  three
categories.  The first  category of products  that  compete with our nvSRAMs are
volatile and nonvolatile chips used in combination, such as fast SRAMs used with
EPROMs,  EEPROMs, or Flash memory. We believe that we have advantages over these
applications  because  the nvSRAM  allows data to be stored in  milliseconds  as
compared to seconds for chips used in pairs. Our single chip solution provides a
space  savings  and easier  manufacturing.  Our single chip  solution  generally
provides increased reliability versus multiple chips. We believe it will be able
to compete with many solutions requiring density up to 256 kilobits; however, in
those instances where the density  requirement is beyond 256 kilobits the nvSRAM
does not compete.  Competitors  in the multiple  chip category  include  Cypress
Semiconductor Corp.,  Integrated Technology,  Inc., Toshiba,  Fujitsu,  Advanced
Micro Devices, Inc., Atmel and National Semiconductor Corp.

     The second  category of products that compete with our nvSRAMs are products
that combine SRAMs with lithium batteries in specially  adapted packages.  These
products  generally  are slower in access speeds than our nvSRAMs due in part to
limitations  caused by life of the lithium  battery  when  coupled with a faster
SRAM. Our nvSRAMs are offered in standard, smaller, less expensive packages, and
do not have the limitation on lifetime imposed on the SRAM/battery  solutions by
the lithium  battery.  Our nvSRAMs can also be used for wave soldered  automatic
insertion  circuit  board  assembly  since  they  do not  have  the  temperature
limitations of lithium batteries.  However, lithium battery-backed SRAM products
are  available  in  densities  of 1 megabit and greater per  package.  Companies
currently supplying products with lithium batteries include Dallas Semiconductor
Corp., ST Microelectronics and Texas Instruments.

     The third  category  consists of NVRAMs that  combine SRAM memory cells and
EEPROM  memory  cells on a  monolithic  chip of  silicon.  Our  current  product
offerings  are of higher  density,  faster  access  times and we believe  can be
manufactured at lower costs per bit than NVRAMS.

     ZMD,  through their license  agreement with us, has the worldwide  right to
sell under the ZMD label  nvSRAMs  developed  jointly by ZMD and us. With volume
production  established at ZMD using the 0.8 micron product, ZMD is selling such
nvSRAMs.  This has had a  positive  impact for us by  creating a second  source,
which is required by many larger companies, for our nvSRAM products. However, in
2000, we were required to reduce prices to certain  markets due to the increased
competition from ZMD. We believe that the competition from ZMD has increased the
number of companies using nvSRAMs, but may have put downward pressure on average
selling prices.

     We are aware of other  semiconductor  technologies  for nonvolatile  memory
products. These technologies include ferroelectric memory and thin film magnetic
memory.  Ramtron,  Raytheon,  Symetrix, and others are developing  ferroelectric
products. Honeywell, Inc. is developing magnetic film products.

     MPGA-type  solutions are supported by  semiconductor  companies such as AMI
Semiconductor, NEC and Temic.

PATENTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

     We  undertake  to protect our product  designs and  technologies  under the
relevant  intellectual property laws as well as by utilizing internal disclosure
safeguards.  Under our licensing  programs,  we exercise control over the use of
our  protected  intellectual  property and have not  permitted  our licensees to
sublicense our nvSRAM products or technology.

     It is  common  in  the  semiconductor  industry  for  companies  to  obtain
copyright,  trademark and patent protection of their intellectual  property.  We
believe  that patents are  significant  in our  industry,  and we are seeking to
build  a  patent  portfolio.   We  expect  to  enter  into  patent  license  and
cross-license agreements with other companies. We have been issued seven patents
in the United States on our nvSRAM memory cell and other circuit designs.  These
patents have terms that expire through 2008 to 2013. We have also taken steps to
obtain  international   patents  on  certain  of  our  products.   We  have  two


                                       22





applications that have been allowed and intend to prepare patent applications on
additional circuit designs we have developed. However, as with many companies in
the semiconductor  industry,  it may become necessary or desirable in the future
for us to obtain licenses from others relating to our products.

     We have received federal registration of the term "Novcel" a term we use to
describe our  technology.  We have not sought federal  registration of any other
trademarks, including "Simtek" and "QuantumTrapTM" or our logo.

EMPLOYEES

     As of the date of this  prospectus,  we had 43 full-time  employees and one
temporary employee.

FACILITIES

     We lease  approximately  12,000  square feet of space in Colorado  Springs,
Colorado.  This space includes a product engineering test floor of approximately
2,350 square feet.  The lease  expires on December  31,  2001.  During 2000,  we
signed  a  lease  for  a  new  location  in  Colorado   Springs,   Colorado  for
approximately  16,000 square feet of space that  includes a product  engineering
test floor of approximately  3,000 square feet. The new lease agreement requires
the new  landlord to begin  paying all costs  related to the old location at the
time we take occupancy at the new location. In March 2001, we moved into the new
facility, located at 4250 Buckingham Drive #100, Colorado Springs, CO 80907.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     There were no legal proceedings against us as of the date of this report.

MATTERS SUBMITTED TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     On November 16, 2000, we had a special  meeting of  shareholders  to ratify
the selection of Hein + Associates  LLP, as the Company's  independent  auditors
for the year ending  December 31, 2000.  The proposal was passed with the voting
of 32,532,148 For, 97,355 Against, and 138,458 Abstained.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS IN ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

     Our articles of incorporation contain a provision limiting the liability of
directors to the fullest extent  permitted under the Colorado  Corporation  Code
(the "Code"). The Code allows a corporation to limit the personal liability of a
director  to the  corporation  or its  shareholders  for  monetary  damages  for
breaches of fiduciary duty as a director except for

1.   breaches of the director's duty of loyalty,

2.   acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
     or a knowing violation of the law,

3.   certain other acts specified in the Code, and

4.   transactions from which the director derived an improper benefit.

     The  provisions of the Code will not impair our ability to seek  injunctive
relief for breaches of fiduciary duty. Such relief,  however,  may not always be
available as a practical matter.

     Our articles of incorporation  also contain a provision that requires us to
indemnify,  to the  fullest  extent  permitted  under  the Code,  directors  and
officers against all costs and expenses  reasonably  incurred in connection with
the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding,  whether civil,  criminal,
administrative,  investigative or other, in which such person may be involved by
virtue of being or having been a director, officer or employee.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     Our president and director,  Douglas  Mitchell was also a director of Q-DOT
prior to our acquisition of Q-DOT. He received 44,386 shares of our common stock
in connection with our acquisition of Q-DOT.


                            DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

COMMON STOCK

     We are  authorized to issue  80,000,000  shares of common stock,  par value
$0.01 per share.  Each share of common stock  entitles the holder thereof to one
vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the  shareholders.  Holders of common
stock do not have preemptive rights or rights to convert their common stock into
other  securities.  Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such
dividends  as may be declared  by the Board of  Directors  out of funds  legally
available therefor. In the event of our liquidation,  dissolution or winding up,
holders  of the common  stock have the right to a ratable  portion of the assets
remaining after payment of liabilities.

PREFERRED STOCK

     Our Articles of Incorporation authorize 2,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value
preferred  stock.  The Board of Directors has the  authority to issue  preferred
stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,  preferences,  privileges and
restrictions  thereof,  including  dividend rights,  dividend rates,  conversion
rights,  voting rights,  terms of  redemption,  redemption  prices,  liquidation
preferences and the number of shares constituting any series and the designation
of such series, without further vote or action by the shareholders. The issuance
of preferred  stock may have the effect of delaying,  deferring or  preventing a
change in control  of us  without  further  action by the  shareholders  and may
adversely  affect the  voting  power and other  rights of the  holders of common
stock,  including the loss of voting  control to others.  As of the date of this
prospectus, there are not shares of preferred stock outstanding.


                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     These  shares  are being  offered  hereby  for sale by  twenty  nine of our
shareholders  who received  these shares in a  unregistered  transaction.  These
shares will be offered by the selling  shareholders from time to time (i) on the
over-the-counter  market,  where the common stock is traded,  or  elsewhere,  at
fixed prices which may be changed,  at market  prices  prevailing at the time of
offer and  sale,  at  prices  related  to such  prevailing  market  prices or at
negotiated  prices and  (ii) in negotiated  transactions, through the writing of


                                       31





options on the shares,  or a  combination  of such methods of sale.  The selling
shareholders  may effect such  transactions  by offering  and selling the shares
directly or to or through securities broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may
receive  compensation in the form of discounts,  concessions or commissions from
the  selling  shareholders  and/or  the  purchasers  of the shares for whom such
broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom the selling  shareholders may sell as
principal,  or both (which  compensation as to a particular broker- dealer might
be in excess of customer commissions).

     The selling  shareholders and any broker-dealers who are in connection with
the sale of the shares hereunder may be deemed to be  "underwriters"  within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions  received by
them and profit on any resale of the shares as  principal  might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

     We have  advised  the  selling  shareholders  that they and any  securities
broker-dealers or others who may be deemed to be statutory  underwriters will be
subject to the prospectus deliver requirements under the Securities Act. We have
also advised the selling  shareholders  that in the event of a "distribution" of
shares,  any "affiliated  purchasers," and any broker-dealer or other person who
participates  in such  distribution  may be  subject to  Regulation  M under the
Exchange Act until his or its participation in that distribution is completed. A
"distribution"  is  defined  in  Rule  101 of  Regulation  M as an  offering  of
securities  "that is  distinguished  from ordinary  trading  transactions by the
magnitude  of the  offering  and the  presence  of special  selling  efforts and
selling  methods."  Regulation  M  makes  it  unlawful  for  any  person  who is
participating  in a distribution  to bid for or purchase stock of the same class
as is the subject of the distribution.

     The validity of the shares offered hereby will be passed by Holme Roberts &

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT




Board of Directors and Shareholders
Simtek Corporation
Colorado Springs, Colorado


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Simtek Corporation as of
December 31, 2000 and the related statements of operations, changes in
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period
ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Simtek Corporation as of
December 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with
general accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
     ------------------------------------------------------

     NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS - Simtek Corporation (the "Company") has been
     involved in the design and development of nonvolatile semiconductor
     products since it commenced business operations in 1987. In addition, it
     has been involved in the design, development, and production of gate array
     integrated circuits and related services. The Company's operations have
     concentrated on the design and development of the 256 kilobit, 64 kilobit,
     and 16 kilobit nvSRAM product families and associated products and
     technologies as well as the development of sources of supply and
     distribution channels. As discussed throughout the notes to the financial
     statements, the Company has entered into several significant transactions
     with Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden GmbH (ZMD), a manufacturer of silicon
     wafers.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid
     investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
     equivalents. As of December 31, 2000, substantially all of the Company's
     cash and cash equivalents were held by a single bank, of which
     approximately $2,894,630 was in excess of Federally insured amounts.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION - Product sales revenue is recognized when a valid
     purchase order has been received and the products are shipped to customers,
     including distributors. Customers receive a one-year product warranty and
     sales to distributors are subject to a limited product exchange program and
     product pricing protection in the event of changes in the Company's product
     price. The Company provides a reserve for possible product returns, price
     changes and warranty costs at the time the sale is recognized.

     INVENTORY - The Company records inventory using the lower of cost
     (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventory at December 31, 2000 includes:

               Raw materials                          $  177,947
               Work in process                           872,948
               Finished goods                            176,398
                                                      ----------
                                                       1,227,293
               Less reserves                             (96,664)
                                                      -----------

                                                      $1,130,629
                                                      ==========

     DEPRECIATION - Equipment and furniture are recorded at cost. Depreciation
     is provided over the assets' estimated useful lives of three to seven years
     using the straight-line and accelerated methods. The cost and accumulated
     depreciation of furniture and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are
     removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in
     operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred
     and betterments are capitalized.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Research and development costs are charged
     to operations in the period incurred.



                                       F-7



                               SIMTEK CORPORATION

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     ADVERTISING - The Company incurs advertising expense in connection with the
     marketing of its product. Advertising costs are expensed the first time the
     advertising takes place. Advertising expense was $87,672 and $94,936 in
     2000 and 1999, respectively.

     LOSS PER SHARE - The loss per share is presented in accordance with the
     provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128,
     Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128 replaced the presentation of primary and
     fully diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) with a presentation of basic
     EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the income or loss
     available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
     shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential
     dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common
     stock were exercised or converted into common stock. As the Company
     incurred losses in 1999 and 2000, all common stock equivalents would be
     considered anti-dulitive, therefore basic and diluted loss per share is the
     same.

     ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
     conformity generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
     make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
     financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results could
     differ from those estimates. The Company's financial statements are based
     upon a number of estimates, including the allowance for doubtful accounts,
     technological obsolescence of inventories, the estimated useful lives
     selected for property and equipment, sales returns, warranty reserve, and
     the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets. Due to the
     uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably
     possible that the estimates for these items could be further revised in the
     near term and such revisions could be material.

     IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - In the event that facts and circumstances
     indicate that the cost of assets or other assets may be impaired, an
     evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is
     required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the
     asset would be compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a
     write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required.

     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - As permitted under the SFAS No. 123, Accounting
     for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company accounts for its stock-based
     compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles
     Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As
     such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant if the current
     market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Certain
     pro forma net income and EPS disclosures for employee stock option grants
     are also included in the notes to the financial statements as if the fair
     value method as defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Transactions in
     equity instruments with non-employees for goods or services are accounted
     for by the fair value method.

     INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability
     method of SFAS No. 109, whereby current and deferred tax assets and
     liabilities are determined based on tax rates and laws enacted as of the
     balance sheet date. Deferred tax expense represents the change in the
     deferred tax asset/liability balance. Valuation allowances are recorded for
     deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized.


                                       F-8



                               SIMTEK CORPORATION

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     BUSINESS SEGMENTS - In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
     issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
     Related Information ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS No. 131 changes the way public
     companies report segment information in annual financial statements and
     also requires those companies to report selected segment information in
     interim financial reports to stockholders. It also establishes standards
     for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and
     major customers. Management believes the Company's operations comprise only
     one segment and as such, adoption of SFAS No. 131 does not impact the
     disclosures made in the Company's financial statements.

     RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued in June 1998.
     This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
     derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an
     entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
     statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair
     value. This statement is effective for the Company's financial statements
     for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the adoption of this standard is
     not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial
     statements.

2.   ACQUISITIONS:
     ------------

     On May 9, 2000, Simtek Corporation acquired 100% of the outstanding stock
     of Integrated Logic Systems Incorporated (ILSI) which designs and sells
     metal gate array integrated circuits in Colorado Springs, Colorado for
     common stock (3,000,000 shares) with a market value at the date of issuance
     of $3.75 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of
     interests, and the results of the ILSI business have been combined with
     those of Simtek Corporation, as if the two businesses had been merged
     throughout the periods presented.

     The following is ILSI's operating results for the period from January 1,
     2000 to May 9, 2000 which has been included in the Company's results of

     During April, 2000, ZMD converted $130,153 liability into 551,964 shares of
     common stock of the Company.

     In May 2000, the Company acquired Integrated Logic Systems, Inc. ("ILSI").
     Simtek issued 3,000,000 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for all
     outstanding shares of all classes of ILSI stock. ILSI designs and sells
     metal programmed gate array integrated circuits. The acquisition was
     accounted for as a pooling of interest and the results of ILSI have been
     consolidated with those of the Company, as if the two businesses had been
     merged throughout the periods presented.

     On June 16, 2000, the Company acquired 1,875,000 shares of the Common Stock
     of Webgear, Inc., a California corporation ("Webgear"), in return for
     1,250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The shares of Webgear stock
     that the Company acquired represented approximately 9% of Webgear's issued
     and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of June 16, 2000. On June 16,
     2000, the closing price for the Company's Common Stock was $1.3125 per
     share. Webgear is engaged in the design, development, sales and support of
     high technology networking and communications products for personal
     computer market.

     On July 31, 2000, the Company acquired Macrotech Semiconductor
     ("Macrotech"). The Company issued 1,250,000 shares of its Common Stock in
     exchange for all outstanding shares of all classes of Macrotech stock.
     Macrotech designs and sells metal programmable standard cells, which are an
     extension of the metal programmed gate array integrated circuits that ILSI
     manufactures. The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interest,
     and the results of Macrotech have been consolidated with those of the
     Company, as if the two businesses had been merged throughout the periods
     presented.

     On September 14, 2000, the Company entered into a one-year contract with
     two investment bankers, E.B.M. Associates, Inc. and World Trade Partners,
     pursuant to which each company received 500,000 shares of the Company's
     common stock. Both companies will assist the Company in broadening its
     financial market presence and establishing new relationships within the
     industry, investment community and financial media. On September 14, 2000,
     the closing share price for the Company's common stock was $1.0312 per
     share and accordingly $1,031,200 has been assigned to prepaid investor
     relations which will be amortized over the coming year, including
     approximately $300,767, which was expensed during the period ending
     December 31, 2000.

     On September 29, 2000, the Company purchased incomplete research and
     development, patents and certain trademarks from Webgear, Inc. The Company
     issued 3,400,000 shares of its common stock and returned to Webgear the
     1,875,000 shares of Webgear common stock that the Company acquired from
     Webgear on June 16, 2000. On September 29, 2000, the closing price of the
     Company's common stock was $0.8438 per share. Subsequently, in December,
     the parties agreed to amend the shares issued by the Company to 2,900,000
     shares of common stock. This resulted in a decrease in the fourth quarter
     in the incomplete research and development expense of approximately
     $422,000. The Company has valued the purchased patents and trademarks at
     $125,000, which were capitalized and recorded as intangible assets. The
     Company has valued the incomplete research and development acquired from
     Webgear at $3,962,646 based upon an evaluation by an independent firm which
     was expensed immediately.

     STOCK OPTION PLANS - The Company has approved two stock option plans that
     authorize an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares for stock options that may be
     granted to directors, employees, and consultants. Subsequently, on January
     2, 2001, the Company authorized an additional 2,000,000 shares that can be
     issued under the stock option plans. The plans permit the issuance of
     incentive and non-statutory options and provide for a minimum exercise
     price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock

     Pro Forma Stock-Based Compensation Disclosures - The Company applies APB
     Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options
     and warrants which are granted to employees. Accordingly, no compensation
     cost has been recognized for grants of options and warrants to employees
     since the exercise prices were not less than the market value of the

     determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under

     Sales to unaffiliated customers which represent 10% or more of the

     At December 31, 2000, the Company had gross trade receivables totaling
     $898,020 due from the above three customers.

     In 2000 and 1999, the Company purchased all of its memory wafers, based on
     0.8 micron technology from a single supplier located in Singapore.
     Approximately 89% and 96% of the Company's memory sales for 2000 and 1999,
     respectively, were from finished units produced from these wafers. The
     Company had an agreement with this supplier to provide wafers, which
     expired in September 1998. This agreement has not been extended or
     terminated, however, this supplier still provides wafers to the Company. In
     addition, the Company purchased all of its logic wafers from two suppliers
     located in Singapore and Taiwan. Approximately 11% and 9% of its logic
     sales in 2000 and 1999, respectively, were from finished units produced
     from these wafers. The Company does not have an agreement with either
     supplier, however, the Company has not seen any disruption in wafer
     deliveries. In 1999, the Company also purchased finished units from ZMD for
     $22,480, and sales from these products accounted for approximately 4% of
     the Company's sales in 1999. Any disruptions in the Company's relationships
     with these suppliers could have an adverse impact on the Company's
     operating results. Assuming an alternate manufacturer of the Company's
     products could be procured, management believes there could be significant
     delays in manufacturing while the manufacturer incorporates the Company's
     products and processes.

9.   TAXES:
     -----

     Under SFAS No. 109, deferred taxes result from temporary differences
     between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of
     assets and liabilities. The components of deferred taxes are as follows:



                                                                            Deferred Tax

         Allowance for doubtful accounts                                   $      3,000

     The net current and non-current deferred tax assets have a 100% valuation
     allowance resulting from the inability to predict sufficient future taxable
     income to utilize the assets. The valuation allowance for 2000 increased
     $91,000 and decreased $219,000 in 1999.

     At December 31, 2000, the Company has approximately $27,000,000 available
     in net operating loss carryforwards which begin to expire from 2004 to
     2015. As a result of certain non-qualified stock options which have been
     exercised, approximately $3,200,000 of the net operating loss carryforward
     will be charged to "paid in capital," when, and if, the losses are
     utilized. Also, a substantial portion of the net operating loss may be
     subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitations.

     Total income tax expense for 2000 and 1999 differed from the amounts
     computed by applying the U.S. Federal statutory tax rates to pre-tax income
     as follows:



                                                                                  1999          1998

10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED):
     -----------------------------

     On December 6, 2000, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire Q-DOT
     Group, Inc. ("Q-DOT"). The acquisition was completed in March 2001. All
     outstanding shares of Q-DOT Group, Inc. were exchanged for approximately
     5,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $4,000,000. Q-DOT
     specializes in advanced technology research and development for data
     acquisition, signal processing, imaging and data communications. Q-DOT's
     projects have been supported by conventional government and commercial
     contracts in addition to Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
     contracts. Q-DOT will be operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Simtek
     for its government contract research and development operations. The
     acquisition will be accounted for as a pooling of interest, and the results
     of Q-DOT will be combined with the Company in future financials.

     The following pro forma results of operations are for the Company and Q-DOT
     as if the merger had taken place on January 1, 2000:
