Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

CV Therapeutics, Inc. (“CV Therapeutics” or the “Company”) currently expects to record approximately $21 million of net product revenues from sales of Ranexa ® (ranolazine extended-release tablets) for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. The Company currently estimates that its operating expenses, not including cost of sales, will be approximately $50 million to $55 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and into 2008, which is consistent with the Company’s previously disclosed guidance. Product and collaboration revenues, which are not reflected in this operating expense figure, will offset a portion of operating expenses. The Company further estimates that it will report cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash of $179 million at December 31, 2007. The Company continues to project cash use of less than $100 million in 2008, consistent with prior guidance, and currently projects cash use of less than $50 million in 2009.
