NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - The accompanying unaudited interim financial
statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements of Johnson & Johnson and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") and related notes as contained in
the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
30, 2001. The Company has adopted EITF Issue No. 01-09 "Accounting
for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or Reseller of the
Vendor's Products" effective December 31, 2001. All periods have
been restated primarily to reclassify sales incentives and trade
promotional allowances from expense to a reduction of sales. As
such, sales for the fiscal six months of 2001 were reduced by $329
million. The unaudited interim financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and
accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair
presentation of such statements. Certain other prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform with the current year
presentation.


NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133
requiring that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance
sheet at fair value.

As of June 30, 2002 the balance of deferred net losses on
derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive income was
$22 million (after tax). Of this amount, the Company expects that
the entire $22 million will be reclassified into earnings over the
next 12 months as a result of transactions that are expected to
occur over that period. The amount ultimately realized in earnings
will differ as foreign exchange rates change. Realized gains and
losses are ultimately determined by actual exchange rates at
maturity of the derivative. Transactions with third parties will
cause the amount in accumulated other comprehensive income to affect
net earnings. The maximum length of time over which the Company is
hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for
forecasted transactions is 18 months.

For the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002 the net impact of the
hedges' ineffectiveness to the Company's financial statements was
insignificant. For the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002, the
Company has recorded a net gain of $1 million (after tax) in the
"other (income) expense, net" category of the consolidated statement
of earnings, representing the impact of discontinuance of cash flow
hedges because it is probable that the originally forecasted
transactions will not occur by the end of the originally
specified time period.

Refer to Note 8 for disclosures of movements in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income.


NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the first six months of fiscal
year 2002 and 2001 are 30.9% and 30.2%, respectively, as compared to
the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%. The difference from the
statutory rate is primarily the result of subsidiaries manufacturing
in Ireland under an incentive tax rate effective through the year
2010 and domestic subsidiaries operating in Puerto Rico under a tax
incentive grant expiring in 2014.

NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, for all acquisitions completed
after June 30, 2001 resulting in goodwill and/or intangible assets
deemed to have indefinite lives, no amortization was recorded.
Further, effective the beginning of fiscal year 2002 in accordance
with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization
relating to all existing goodwill and indefinite lived intangible
assets. The effect of non-amortization of this goodwill and these
intangible assets was $30 million after tax or $0.01 per diluted
share for the second quarter of 2002 and $60 million after tax or
$0.02 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be
amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 requires that
goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets will be assessed
annually for impairment and the required initial assessment was
completed at June 30, 2002 and no impairment was determined. The
amortization expense of amortizable intangible assets for the fiscal
six months ended June 30, 2002, is $188 million pre-tax and the
estimated amortization expense for the full year 2002 and for each
of the five succeeding years approximates $375 million pre tax, per
year respectively.

NOTE 7 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following is a reconciliation of basic net earnings per share
to diluted net earnings per share for the fiscal three and six
months ended June 30, 2002 and July 1, 2001. Earnings per share
figures and shares outstanding reflect the two-for-one stock split
effective during the second quarter of 2001.

Convertible debt shares 14.4 36.1
Adjusted average shares
outstanding - diluted 3,086.9 3,106.3
Diluted earnings per share $ 1.13 .98


Diluted earnings per share calculation includes the dilution
effect of convertible debt: a decrease in interest expense of $7
million and $15 million after tax for the fiscal six month period
ended June 30, 2002 and July 1, 2001, respectively. The amount of
the decrease in interest expense was $3 million and $7 million after
tax for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002 and July 1, 2001,
respectively.

Diluted earnings per share excludes 0.3 million and 60 million
shares of options for the fiscal six months ended June 30, 2002 and
July 1, 2001, respectively as the exercise price of these options
was greater than their average market value, resulting in an anti-
dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share. The shares of
options excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations
for the fiscal quarter ended, June 30, 2002 and July 1, 2001 were
0.3 million and 61 million shares of options, respectively.

NOTE 8 - ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The total comprehensive income for the fiscal six months ended
June 30, 2002 is $3,366 million, compared with $2,931 million for
the same period a year ago. Total comprehensive income includes net
earnings, net unrealized currency gains and losses on translation,
net unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities,
pension liability adjustments and net gains and losses on derivative
instruments qualifying and designated as cash flow hedges. The
following table sets forth the components of accumulated other

transactions.


NOTE 9 - MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
On March 12, 2002, Johnson & Johnson acquired Micro Typing
Systems, Inc. The transaction is valued at approximately $30 million
in cash. Micro Typing Systems manufactures a line of reagents and
supplies distributed instruments known as the ID-MICRO TYPING SYSTEM
(ID-MTS). ID-MTS is used in hospitals and donor centers to help to
ensure safe and effective blood transfusions.

On April 18, 2002, Johnson & Johnson announced the completion of
the acquisition of Tibotec-Virco NV, a privately held
biopharmaceutical company focused on developing anti-viral
treatments, with several promising compounds in development for the
treatment of infectious diseases including HIV. The transaction is
valued at approximately $320 million in cash and debt. Johnson &
Johnson incurred an after-tax charge of approximately $150 million,
or $0.05 per share, in the second quarter associated with in-process
research and development costs relating to this acquisition.

On June 27, 2002, Johnson & Johnson acquired Obtech Medical AG, a
privately held Swiss company that markets an adjustable gastric
band. The transaction is valued at approximately $110 million in
cash. Johnson & Johnson incurred an after-tax charge of
approximately $39 million, or $0.01 per share, in the second quarter
associated with in-process research and development costs relating
to this acquisition. The adjustable gastric band is used in Europe
during laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of morbid obesity.

NOTE 11 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations."
The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard
that will become effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2002. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which was
effective for the first quarter of 2002. The Company's adoption of
SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the Company's results
of operations, cash flows or financial position.


Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES AND EARNINGS

Consolidated sales for the fiscal first six months of 2002 were
$17.82 billion, which exceeded sales of $16.03 billion for the
fiscal first six months of 2001 by 11.1%. Excluding the impact of
the stronger value of the dollar, worldwide sales increased 12.0%.

Consolidated net earnings for the first six months of fiscal year
2002 were $3.49 billion, compared with $3.03 billion for the same
period a year ago, an increase of 15.0%. Earnings for the fiscal six
months of 2002 included special charges of after-tax in-process
research and development (IPR&D) costs associated with the
acquisitions of Tibotec-Virco and Obtech Medical AG which in total
were $189 million. Other income and expense items for the period
included the gain on the sale of ORTHO PREFEST, losses on certain
equity securities, other corporate expenses and litigation accruals.
In 2001, other income and expense included special charges of $109
million pre-tax ($102 million after tax) related to the
restructuring and deal costs for the ALZA merger and the
amortization of goodwill, that was discontinued in 2002 in
connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142.

Worldwide basic net earnings per share for the fiscal six months
of 2002 were $1.15 compared with the $1.00 for the same period in
2001, an increase of 15.0%. Excluding special charges relating to
IPR&D in 2002 and the ALZA restructuring and deal costs in 2001,
basic net earnings per share were $1.22 an increase of 17.3%
compared to $1.04 for the same period in 2001.

Worldwide diluted net earnings per share for the fiscal six months
of 2002 were $1.13, compared with $.98 for the same period in 2001,
an increase of 15.3%. Excluding special charges for IPR&D and ALZA
merger costs as noted above, diluted earnings per share were $1.19
compared with $1.01 for the same period in 2001, an increase of
17.8%.

Consolidated sales for the fiscal second quarter of 2002 were
$9.07 billion, an increase of 10.9% over 2001 fiscal quarter sales
of $8.18 billion. Consolidated earnings for the fiscal second
quarter of 2002 were $1.65 billion, compared with $1.48 billion for
the same period a year ago, an increase of 11.6%. Worldwide basic
net earnings per share for the fiscal second quarter of 2002 rose
12.2% to $.55, compared with $.49 in the 2001 period. Excluding
special charges for IPR&D and ALZA merger costs as noted above,
worldwide basic net earnings per share for the fiscal second quarter
were $.61 compared with $.52 for the same period a year ago, an
increase of 17.3%. Worldwide diluted net earnings per share for the
fiscal second quarter of 2002 rose 12.5% to $.54 compared with $.48
in 2001. Excluding special charges for IPR&D and ALZA merger costs
as noted above, worldwide diluted net earnings per share for the
fiscal second quarter were $.60, compared to $.51 for the same
period a year ago, an increase of 17.6%.

Domestic sales for the fiscal six months of 2002 were $11.12
billion, an increase of 13.8% over 2001 domestic sales of $9.77
billion for the same period a year ago. Sales of international
subsidiaries were $6.70 billion for the fiscal six months of 2002
compared with $6.26 billion for the same period a year ago, an
increase of 7.0%. Excluding the impact of the stronger value of the
dollar, international sales increased by 9.4%.



14
Worldwide Consumer sales for the fiscal second quarter of 2002
were $1.65 billion, an increase of 7.8% versus the same period a
year ago. Domestic sales increased by 12.4% while international
sales gains were 2.6%. Consumer sales achieved strong growth in
skin care products (NEUTROGENA, CLEAN & CLEAR and AVEEN0), McNeil
Consumer's over-the-counter analgesic, upper respiratory and anti-
diarrheal products and McNeil Nutritional's SPLENDA sweetener
products.

Worldwide Pharmaceutical sales of $4.26 billion for the fiscal
quarter resulted in an increase of 10.2% over the same period in
2001. Domestic and international sales increased 7.8% and 15.9%,
respectively.

Sales growth reflects the strong performance of PROCRIT/EPREX, for
the treatment of anemia; DURAGESIC, a transdermal patch for chronic
pain; REMICADE, a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's
disease; TOPAMAX, an antiepileptic, and ACIPHEX/PARIET, a proton
pump inhibitor for gastrointestinal disorders.

During the quarter, the Company announced the completion of the
acquisition of Tibotec-Virco NV, a privately-held biopharmaceutical
company focused on developing anti-viral treatments. The
acquisition, valued at approximately $320 million in cash and debt,
will expand drug discovery and development capabilities,
particularly in the field of anti-viral therapies. Johnson & Johnson
incurred an after-tax charge of approximately $150 million, or $0.05
per share, in the second quarter associated with in-process research
and development costs relating to this acquisition.

Also in the quarter, the Company received regulatory approval in
the United Kingdom (UK) for DUROGESIC for the indication of chronic
intractable pain. Previously available only to treat cancer pain
patients, DUROGESIC is the UK's first skin patch to treat strong
pain. The Company also received U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) approval for a synthetic oral solution of REMINYL for the
treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

In July, the Company received U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) approval for an additional indication for REMICADE in Crohn's
disease to include maintenance therapy. Previously the drug was
approved only for a one-time use to reduce signs and symptoms of
Crohn's disease. REMICADE can now be used to induce and maintain
clinical remission in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's
disease on an on-going basis. REMICADE is the only biologic
approved to provide long-term, remission-level control of the
debilitating symptoms of Crohn's disease, a gastrointestinal
disorder. Additionally during the quarter, Centocor, Inc., received
FDA approval for its bulk manufacturing facility in Malvern PA., for
the production of REMICADE. This facility supplements the existing
manufacturing plant in Leiden, the Netherlands.

Worldwide sales for the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment
were $3.17 billion in the second quarter of 2002, which represented
an increase of 13.7% as compared to the same period in 2001.
Domestic and international sales increased 14.9% and 12.2%,
respectively. Strong sales growth from Cordis' circulatory disease
management products; DePuy's orthopaedic joint reconstruction and
spinal products; Ethicon's wound closure, surgical sports medicine
and women's health products; LifeScan's blood glucose monitoring
products; Ethicon Endo-Surgery's minimally invasive surgical
products and Vistakon's disposable contact lenses were the primary
contributors to the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment growth.

During the quarter, Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., acquired Obtech
Medical AG, a privately held Swiss company that markets an
adjustable gastric band, used in Europe during laparoscopic surgery
for the treatment of morbid obesity. The transaction is valued at
approximately $110 million in cash. Johnson & Johnson incurred an
after-tax charge of approximately $39 million, or $0.01 per share,
in the second quarter associated with in-process research and
development costs relating to this acquisition. Additionally, Ortho
Clinical Diagnostics acquired Micro Typing Systems, Inc., a
manufacturer of a line of reagents and supplies distributed
instruments known as the ID-MICRO TYPING SYSTEM (ID-MTS). ID-MTS is
used in hospitals and donor centers to help ensure safe and
effective blood transfusions. The transaction is valued at
approximately $30 million in cash.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash generated from operations and selected borrowings provides
the major source of funds for the growth of the business, including
working capital, additions to property, plant and equipment,
acquisitions and stock repurchase programs. Cash and current
marketable securities totaled $6.9 billion at June 30, 2002 as
compared with $8.0 billion at the end of 2001. For the year ended
December 30, 2001, there was a change in the timing of salary
increases and bonuses to employees from December 2001 to February
2002. This change was enacted to have 2001 results finalized in
order to align compensation and performance. The result of this
change was a decrease of approximately $450 million in cash flows
from operating activities due to the payment in 2002. Total
borrowings increased during the fiscal six months of 2002 from $2.8
billion to $4.7 billion which related primarily to the stock
repurchase program described below. Net cash (cash and current
marketable securities net of debt) as of June 30, 2002 was $2.2
billion, compared with $5.2 billion at the end of 2001. Total debt
represented 17.6% of total capital (shareowners' equity and total
debt) at fiscal quarter end compared with 10.3% at the end of 2001.

Additions to property, plant and equipment were $802 million for
the fiscal six months of 2002, compared with $571 million for the
same period in 2001.

On February 13, 2002, the Company announced a stock repurchase
program of up to $5 billion with no time limit on this program.
This program was completed on August 1, 2002, with 83,612,822 shares
repurchased for an aggregate price of $5.0 billion. In association
with the stock repurchase program, the Company issued approximately
$2 billion of commercial paper during the second quarter of 2002.

On July 15, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a regular
quarterly dividend of $.205 per share, payable on September 10, 2002
to shareowners of record as of August 20, 2002.


CAUTIONARY FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements." Forward-
looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts and anticipate results based on management's plans that are
subject to uncertainty. Forward-looking statements may be
identified by the use of words like "plans," "expects," "will,"
"anticipates," "estimates" and other words of similar meaning in
conjunction with, among other things, discussions of future
operations, financial performance, the Company's strategy for
growth, product development, regulatory approvals, market position
and expenditures.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of
future events. The Company cannot guarantee that any forward-looking
statement will be accurate, although the Company believes that it
has been reasonable in its expectations and assumptions. Investors
should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or
unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could
vary materially from the Company's expectations and projections.
Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any
forward-looking statements. Furthermore, the Company assumes no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of
new information or future events or developments.

The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 30, 2001 contains, in Exhibit 99(b), a discussion of
various factors that could cause actual results to differ from
expectations. That Exhibit from the Form 10-K is incorporated in
this filing by reference. The Company notes these factors as
permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Item 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material change in the Company's assessment of
its sensitivity to market risk since its presentation set forth in
Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk," in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 30, 2001.


Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in numerous product liability cases in the
United States, many of which concern adverse reactions to drugs and
medical devices. The damages claimed are substantial, and while the
Company is confident of the adequacy of the warnings and
instructions for use which accompany such products, it is not
feasible to predict the ultimate outcome of litigation. However, the
Company believes that if any liability results from such cases, it
will be substantially covered by reserves established under its self-
insurance program and by commercially available excess liability
insurance.

One group of cases against the Company concerns the Janssen
Pharmaceutica product PROPULSID, which was withdrawn from general
sale and restricted to limited use in 2000. In the wake of
publicity about those events, numerous lawsuits have been filed
against Janssen, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
and the Company regarding PROPULSID in state and federal courts
across the country. There are approximately 950 such cases currently
pending, including the claims of approximately 3,500 plaintiffs. Of
those plaintiffs 417 are alleged to have died from the use of
PROPULSID. These actions seek substantial compensatory and punitive
damages and accuse Janssen and the Company of inadequately testing
for and warning about the drug's side effects, of promoting it for
off-label use and of over-promotion. In addition, Janssen and the
Company have entered into agreements with various plaintiffs'
counsel halting the running of the statutes of limitations with
respect to the potential claims of a significant number of
individuals while those attorneys evaluate whether or not to sue
Janssen and the Company on their behalf.

In September 2001, the first ten plaintiffs in the Rankin case,
which comprises the claims of 155 PROPULSID plaintiffs, went to
trial in state court in Claiborne County, Mississippi. The jury
returned compensatory damage verdicts for each plaintiff in the
amount of $10 million, for a total of $100 million. The trial judge
thereafter dismissed the claims of punitive damages. On March 4,
2002, the trial judge reduced these verdicts to a total of $48
million, and denied the motions of Janssen and the Company for a new
trial. Janssen and the Company believe these verdicts, even as
reduced, are insupportable and have appealed. In the view of
Janssen and the Company, the proof at trial demonstrated that none
of these plaintiffs was injured by PROPULSID and that no basis for
liability existed.

In April 2002, a state court judge in New Jersey denied
plaintiffs' motion to certify a national class of PROPULSID users
for purposes of medical monitoring and refund of the costs of
purchasing PROPULSID. In June 2002 the federal judge presiding over
the PROPULSID Multi-District Litigation in New Orleans, Louisiana
similarly denied plaintiffs' motion there to certify a national
class of PROPULSID users. Plaintiffs in both venues are pursuing or
preserving their rights to appeal those rulings and other complaints
filed against Janssen and the Company including class action
allegations which could be the basis for future attempts to have
classes certified.






17

With respect to all the various PROPULSID actions against them,
Janssen and the Company dispute the claims in those lawsuits and are
vigorously defending against them except where, in their judgment,
settlement is appropriate. Janssen and the Company believe they
have adequate self-insurance reserves and commercially available
excess insurance with respect to these cases.

The Company's Ortho Biotech subsidiary is party to an arbitration
proceeding filed against it in 1995 by Amgen, Ortho Biotech's
licensor of U.S. non-dialysis rights to PROCRIT, in which Amgen
seeks to terminate Ortho Biotech's U.S. license rights and collect
substantial damages based on alleged deliberate PROCRIT sales by
Ortho Biotech during the early 1990's into Amgen's reserved dialysis
market. The Company believes no basis exists for terminating Ortho
Biotech's U.S. license rights or for obtaining damages and is
vigorously contesting Amgen's claims. However, Ortho Biotech's U.S.
license rights to PROCRIT are material to the Company; thus, an
unfavorable outcome on the termination issue could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations,
cash flows and financial position. The arbitration hearings have
concluded and final arguments will be held in the fall of 2002
following the submission of post-hearing briefs by both sides.

In patent infringement actions tried in Delaware Federal Court in
late 2000, Cordis, a Johnson & Johnson company, obtained verdicts of
infringement and patent validity, and damage awards, against Boston
Scientific Corporation and Medtronic AVE, Inc., based on a number of
Cordis coronary stent patents. On December 15, 2000, the jury in the
damage action against Boston Scientific returned a verdict of $324
million and on December 21, 2000 the jury in the Medtronic AVE
action returned a verdict of $271 million. These sums represent
lost profit and reasonable royalty damages to compensate Cordis for
infringement but do not include pre or post judgment interest. In
February 2001 a hearing was held on the claims of Boston Scientific
and Medtronic AVE that the patents at issue are unenforceable owing
to alleged inequitable conduct before the patent office. In March
and May 2002, the district judge issued post trial rulings which
confirmed the validity and enforceability of the main Cordis stent
patent claims but found certain other Cordis patents unenforceable.
Further, the district judge granted Boston Scientific a new trial on
liability and damages and vacated the verdict against Medtronic AVE
on legal grounds. Appeals to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
will follow.

On July 19 2002, the New York Times reported on an investigation
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Criminal
Investigation in Puerto Rico related to allegations made by a former
Ortho Biologics employee about supposed improprieties in completing
records concerning equipment and training at the plant where bulk
EPO sold by Ortho outside the U.S. is produced. The employee in
question worked in the boiler and utility room of the plant and not
in the manufacturing area. The New York Times reporter suggested the
allegations of the former employee, if believed, could lead to the
conclusion that the integrity of the EPO manufactured at the plant
was compromised. However, the Company's review identified no evidence
that any of the allegations could be confirmed or connected to any
question of product integrity. The Company believes that the results
of the government investigation will not have a material adverse
effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The Company is also involved in a number of patent, trademark and
other lawsuits incidental to its business.

The Company believes that the above proceedings, except as noted
above, would not have a material adverse effect on its results of
operations, cash flows or financial position.
