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  29,  2002.  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.


NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As  of  June  29,  2003  the balance of  deferred  net  losses  on
derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive income was
$158  million after tax.  For additional information, see Note  8.
The  Company  expects that $155 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 is 18 months.
   For  the  first fiscal six months ended June 29, 2003  the  net
impact  of  the hedges' ineffectiveness to the Company's financial
statements  was  insignificant.  For the first fiscal  six  months
ended  June 29, 2003 the Company recorded a net gain of $9 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 fiscal six months  of
2003  and 2002 were 34.2% and 30.9%, respectively, as compared  to
the  U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%.  The difference from  the
statutory   rate   was  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.    The
increase  in  the  effective tax rate  for the  first  fiscal  six
months of 2003 compared with the same period a year ago is due  to
acquisition  related  In-process Research and Development  charges
that are non-deductible for tax purposes.  For further details  on
acquisitions, see Note 9.

NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
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.
Intangible  assets that have finite useful lives continued  to  be
amortized  over  their useful lives.  SFAS No. 142  requires  that
goodwill   and  non-amortizable  intangible  assets  be   assessed
annually  for  impairment.  The required  initial  assessment  was
completed at June 30, 2002 and no impairment was determined.  This
initial impairment assessment was updated in the fourth quarter of
2002  and  no impairment was determined.  Future impairment  tests
will be performed in the fourth quarter, annually.

Diluted earnings per share               $     .40        .54


     Diluted  earnings per share calculation included the dilution
effect of convertible debt that was offset by the related decrease
in  interest expense of $3 million after tax each for  the  fiscal
second   quarter   ended  June  29,  2003  and  June   30,   2002,
respectively.
  Diluted earnings per share excluded 46.4 million and 0.3 million
shares related to options for the fiscal second quarter ended June
29, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively as the exercise price per
share  of these options was greater than the average market value,
resulting  in  an  anti-dilutive effect on  diluted  earnings  per
share.

   Diluted  earnings per share calculation included  the  dilution

in  interest  expense of $7 million after tax each for  the  first
fiscal  six  months  ended  June  29,  2003  and  June  30,  2002,
respectively.
  Diluted earnings per share excluded 46.3 million and 0.3 million

price  per  share  of these options was greater than  the  average

NOTE 9 - MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
 On January 29, 2003, Johnson & Johnson acquired certain assets of
Orquest,  Inc., a privately held biotechnology company focused  on
developing  biologically based implants for orthopedic  and  spine
surgery.    Orquest's  principal  product,  HEALOST   Bone   Graft
Substitute,  is  designed to reduce the time and  pain  associated
with  standard bone graft harvesting and represents a  therapeutic
advance  for  patients  requiring bone graft  material  for  spine
fusion or other surgery.
   On  February  10,  2003, Johnson & Johnson acquired  OraPharma,
Inc.,   a   specialty  pharmaceutical  company  focused   on   the
development   and   commercialization  of   unique   therapeutics.
OraPharma's  initial  product,  ARESTINT,  is  the  first  locally
administered,    time-released    antibiotic    encapsulated    in
microspheres  that effectively controls the germs that  can  cause
periodontal  disease.  The transaction was valued at approximately
$85  million, net of cash.  The Company incurred a charge for  In-
process  Research  and  Development (IPR&D) of  approximately  $11
million before tax and $8 million after tax.
   On  March  28,  2003, Johnson & Johnson acquired  3-Dimensional
Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.,  a  company  with  a  technology  platform
focused on the discovery and development of potential new drugs in
early  stage  development  for  the  treatment  of  cardiovascular
diseases,  oncology and inflammation.  The transaction was  valued
at  approximately $88 million, net of cash.  The Company  incurred
an IPR&D charge of approximately $7 million before and after tax.
    On  April  17, 2003, Johnson & Johnson acquired  the  CORTAIDr
brand business, the #3 brand in the anti-itch treatment segment of
the   first   aid  category.   The  transaction  was   valued   at
approximately $37 million.
   On May 9, 2003, Johnson & Johnson acquired  Inscope, an
intraluminal multiple clip applier technology.  This transaction
was valued at $26 million.
   On  April  29, 2003, Johnson & Johnson acquired Scios  Inc.,  a
biopharmaceutical   company   with   a   marketed   product    for
cardiovascular  disease  and research projects  focused  on  auto-
immune  diseases.  Scios was acquired to strengthen the  Company's
business  in  key  therapeutic  areas  and  technology  platforms.
Scios'  product NATRECORr is a novel agent approved for congestive
heart failure and has several significant advantages over existing
therapies.   The  transaction  was valued  at  approximately  $2.1
billion, net of cash, and the Company incurred a charge for  IPR&D
of $730 million before and after tax.  On a preliminary basis, the
purchase  price  was  allocated to the tangible  and  identifiable
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on  their
estimated fair values at the acquisition date.  The excess of  the
purchase  price  over  the fair values of assets  and  liabilities
acquired  was  approximately $440 million  and  was  allocated  to
goodwill.   The  Company  expects that substantially  all  of  the
amount  allocated  to  goodwill will not  be  deductible  for  tax
purposes.
  On June 3, 2003, Johnson & Johnson acquired Link Spine Group,
Inc., a privately owned corporation that will provide the Company
with exclusive worldwide rights to the SB ChariteT Artificial Disc
for the treatment of spine disorders.  Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company paid a $325 million upfront payment with
further contingent payments due upon achievement of regulatory and
other milestones and the Company incurred a charge for IPR&D of
$170 million before and after tax.  On a preliminary basis, the
purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
estimated fair values at the acquisition date.  The excess of the
purchase price over the fair values of assets and liabilities
acquired was approximately $84 million and was allocated to
goodwill.  The Company expects that substantially all of the
amount allocated to goodwill will not be deductible for tax
purposes.
   The  supplemental pro forma information for the current interim
period  and  the  preceeding  year per  SFAS  No.  141,  "Business
Combinations"  and  SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and  Other  Intangible
Assets"  are  not  provided as the impact of these  aforementioned
acquisitions  did  not  have a material effect  on  the  Company's
results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

NOTE 10 - PRO FORMA STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
At  June  29,  2003,  the  Company  had  26  stock-based  employee
compensation  plans. The Company accounted for those  plans  under
the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principle
Board  Opinion  No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to  Employees"
and  its  related  Interpretations. Compensation  costs  were  not
recorded  in net income for stock options, as all options  granted
under  those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value
of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
   As  required  by  SFAS  No.  148, "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation  - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment  of  FASB
Statement No. 123," the following table shows the estimated effect
on  net  income and earnings per share if the Company had  applied
the  fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for    Stock-Based   Compensation,"   to   stock-based    employee
compensation.

of this Report on Form 10-Q.


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

OPERATING RESULTS

Sales
 Consolidated sales for the first fiscal six months of  2003  were
$20.2 billion, exceeding sales for the first fiscal six months  of
2002  of  $17.8  billion by 13.1%, with 8.5% of  the  growth  from
operations,  and  the  remaining 4.6% due to a  positive  currency
impact.
    Domestic  sales for the first fiscal six months of  2003  were
$12.1  billion,  an increase of 9.0% over 2002 domestic  sales  of
$11.1  billion  for  the  same  period  a  year  ago.   Sales   of
international  subsidiaries grew to $8.0 billion, an  increase  of
19.9%  over  the  same period a year ago, with  operational  sales
growth accounting for 7.6% of the reported growth and 12.3% due to
the positive impact of currency.
 For the fiscal second quarter of 2003, worldwide sales were $10.3
billion,  an  increase  of 13.9% over 2002 fiscal  second  quarter
sales of $9.1 billion with 8.9% of the growth from operations, and
5.0%  of  the  reported  growth due  to  the  positive  impact  of
currency.   Sales by domestic companies were $6.1 billion  in  the
fiscal  second quarter of 2003, which represented an  increase  of
9.2%.  International sales were $4.2 billion, which represented  a
total increase of 21.5% over the same period a year ago, with 8.4%
of  the  growth from operations and the remaining 13.1% due  to  a
positive currency impact.
 For  geographic areas throughout the world, sales increased 27.4%
in  Europe, 17.9% in Asia-Pacific/Africa, and 6.5% in the  Western
Hemisphere  (excluding  the U.S.) for the  fiscal  second  quarter
2003.
 Consumer  segment  sales in the quarter  were  $1.8  billion,  an
increase of 10.3% over the same period a year ago with 6.4% of the
increase resulting from operational growth and a positive currency
impact  of  3.9%. Domestic sales increased by 2.6% over  the  same
period  a  year  ago,  with international  sales  gains  of  19.7%
consisting of an operational sales growth of 11.1% and a  positive
currency impact of 8.6%.
 Consumer  sales achieved strong growth in skin care products  led
by  the  AVEENOr  brand.  SPLENDAr, the no-calorie sweetener,  had
positive  growth in both the ingredient business and the  tabletop
category.   The  Wound Care franchise continues to be  a  positive
contributor  to  the  overall results  in  the  Consumer  segment.
LIQUID BANDAGET continues to show strong growth in the U.S., while
the  COMPEEDr  foot care line is a key growth driver  outside  the
U.S.   During the second quarter of 2003, the Consumer Wound  Care
franchise  acquired  the CORTAIDr anti-itch  brand  business  from
Pharmacia.   The  transaction  was  valued  at  approximately  $37
million.
   Pharmaceutical segment sales in the quarter were $4.9  billion,
an increase of 14.7% over the same period a year ago with 10.1% of
this  change  due  to  operational growth and the  remaining  4.6%
increase related to the positive impact of currency.  The domestic
Pharmaceutical    sales   increase   was   11.7%.    International
Pharmaceutical  sales increased 21.3% which included  6.6%  growth
operationally,  and  14.7%  related  to  the  positive  impact  of
currency.   Sales  growth  reflects  the  strong  performance   of
RISPERDALr,  an  antipsychotic  medication;  TOPAMAXr,  an   anti-
epileptic medication; DURAGESICr, a transdermal patch for  chronic
pain; ACIPHEX/PARIETr, a proton pump inhibitor that is co-marketed
with  Eisai;  REMICADEr, a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis  and
Crohn's disease; LEVAQUINr, an anti-infective treatment, and ORTHO-
EVRAr, a contraceptive patch.





                               -24-


 PROCRITr (epoetin alfa) sales have declined due to the entry of a
new competitor.  The Company's positioning on PROCRIT continues to
focus on its clinical benefits.  EPREXr (epoetin alfa) experienced
a  sharp decline versus the prior year due to rare reports of Pure
Red  Cell  Aplasia (PRCA) in chronic renal failure (CRF)  patients
when  administered subcutaneously.  The Company implemented  steps
to  ensure  that  health care providers use the safest  method  of
administering  EPREX.   Actions  taken  include  a  label   change
recommending  intravenous  versus  subcutaneous  dosing  for   CRF
patients  and the education of health care providers and  patients
in  the  proper handling of EPREX to preserve product  integrity..
The data suggests that the incidence rate of PRCA has stabilized.
 During  the  second quarter of 2003, Johnson &  Johnson  acquired
Scios  Inc.,  a biopharmaceutical company with a marketed  product
for  cardiovascular disease and research projects focused on auto-
immune  diseases.  Scios was acquired to strengthen the  Company's
business  in  key  therapeutic  areas  and  technology  platforms.
Scios'  product NATRECORr is a novel agent approved for congestive
heart failure and has several significant advantages over existing
therapies.   The  transaction  was valued  at  approximately  $2.1
billion, net of cash, and the Company incurred a charge for  IPR&D
of $730 million before and after tax.  On a preliminary basis, the
purchase  price  was  allocated to the tangible  and  identifiable
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on  their
estimated fair values at the acquisition date.  The excess of  the
purchase  price  over  the fair values of assets  and  liabilities
acquired  was  approximately  $440 million and  was  allocated  to
goodwill.
 The Company also received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
approval  for  the  use  of LEVAQUIN in the treatment  of  chronic
bacterial prostatitis.
    Medical  Devices & Diagnostics (MD&D) segment worldwide  sales
for   the  fiscal  second  quarter  of  2003  were  $3.6  billion,
representing an increase of 14.6% over the same period a year  ago
with  operational  sales growth of 8.5% and  a  positive  currency
impact of 6.1%.  Domestic sales were up 8.3% and the international
sales increase of 22.6% over the same period a year ago included a
solid  8.8% operational growth, and a positive currency impact  of
13.8%.
   Strong  sales growth was achieved in several franchises  within
the  MD&D segment.  The DePuy franchise had success with the joint
reconstruction  product line, strong double-digit  growth  in  the
spine  category,  and  Mitek  line of  sports  medicine  products.
Ethicon  Endo-Surgery, Inc. also reported solid  growth  with  key
drivers  from  the endoscopy and mechanical business, particularly
the   endocutter  product  line,  used  in  performing   bariatric
procedures.
 During  the  fiscal  second quarter of 2003,  Cordis  Corporation
received  approval  from the FDA to market the CYPHERT  Sirolimus-
eluting   Coronary  Stent,  making  it  the  first  U.S.  approved
combination drug and device intended to help reduce restenosis  or
reblockage  of  a  treated coronary artery.   Cordis  shipped  the
product immediately after approval with the objective of providing
access  to  patients and customers as quickly  as  possible.   The
demand for the CYPHER product has exceeded supply, and the Company
is currently working to improve manufacturing yield to ensure that
all orders are filled promptly.
 Also  during the fiscal second quarter of 2003, Johnson & Johnson
acquired  Link  Spine Group, Inc., a privately  owned  corporation
that  will provide the Company with exclusive worldwide rights  to
the  SB  ChariteT  Artificial  Disc for  the  treatment  of  spine
disorders.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company  paid  a
$325 million upfront payment with further contingent payments  due
upon  achievement  of  regulatory and  other  milestones  and  the
Company  incurred a charge for IPR&D of approximately $170 million
before and after tax.  On a preliminary basis, the purchase  price
was  allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible  assets
acquired  and  liabilities assumed based on their  estimated  fair
values at the acquisition date.  The excess of the purchase  price
over  the  fair  values  of  assets and liabilities  acquired  was
approximately $84 million and was allocated to goodwill.
 On   May  9,  2003,  Johnson  &  Johnson  acquired  Inscope,   an
intraluminal  multiple clip applier technology.  This  transaction
was valued at $26 million.
 In May of 2003, Ethicon-Endo Surgery completed the divestiture of
the  Vascular  Access product line to Medex Inc., to better  align
its product portfolio with its principal area of focus.

Gross Profit
Gross profit margin for the fiscal second quarter of 2003 declined
0.3% to 71.3% versus the fiscal second quarter of 2002 while the
gross profit margin for the first fiscal six months of 2003
improved to 71.8%, an increase of 0.1% from the first fiscal six
months of 2002.  Gross profit margin reflects the impact of
continued cost improvements and efficiencies as well as the impact
of the mix of products within the Pharmaceutical segment.

Selling, Marketing and Administrative Expenses
Selling, marketing and administrative (SM&A) expenses for the
fiscal second quarter of 2003 increased 12.6% over the second
fiscal quarter of 2002 and increased 13.5% for the first fiscal
six months of 2003 over the same period a year ago.  These
increases are primarily due to increases in advertising, marketing
and selling expenses.  The SM&A expenses as a percent to sales
remained relatively unchanged for the fiscal second quarter and
first fiscal six months of 2003 as compared to the equivalent
periods a year ago.

In-Process Research & Development
In the fiscal second quarter of 2003, the Company recorded In-
process Research & Development (IPR&D) charges of $900 million
before and after tax related to acquisitions.  These acquisitions
included Scios Inc., and the Link Spine Group, Inc.  Scios Inc.,
is a biopharmaceutical company with a marketed product for
cardiovascular disease and research projects focused on auto-
immune diseases.  The acquisition of Scios Inc. accounted for $730
million before and after tax of the IPR&D charges incurred in the
fiscal second quarter of 2003.   Link Spine Group, Inc., was
acquired to provide the Company with exclusive worldwide rights to
the SB Charite Artificial Disc for the treatment of spine
disorders.  The acquisition of Link Spine Group, Inc. accounted
for $170 million before and after tax of the IPR&D charges
incurred in the fiscal second quarter of 2003.
 In the fiscal first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded IPR&D
charges of $18 million before tax and $15 million after tax
related to acquisitions.  These acquisitions included Orquest,
Inc., and 3-Dimensional Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  Orquest, Inc., is a
biotechnology company focused on developing biologically-based
implants for orthopedic spine surgery.  The acquisition of
Orquest, Inc. accounted for $11 million before tax and $8 million
after tax of the IPR&D charges incurred in the fiscal first
quarter of 2003.  3-Dimensional Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a
company with a technology platform focused on the discovery and
development of potential new drugs in early stage development for
the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, oncology and
inflammation.  The acquisition of 3-Dimensional Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. accounted for $7 million before and after tax of the IPR&D
charges incurred in the fiscal first quarter of 2003.

Interest (Income) Expense
Interest income decreased in both the fiscal second quarter and
fiscal six months of 2003 as compared to the same periods a year
ago.  The decrease is due primarily to the continuing decline in
U.S. interest rates.  Interest expense remained relatively
constant for both the fiscal second quarter and first fiscal six
months of 2003 as compared to the same periods a year ago despite
the increase in debt associated with the acquisition of Scios
Inc., due to lower interest rates.

Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense included gains and losses related to the
sale and write-down of certain equity securities of Johnson &
Johnson Development Corporation, losses on the disposal of fixed
assets, currency gains & losses, minority interests, litigation
settlement expense, as well as, royalty income.   The favorable
change of $30 million for the fiscal second quarter of 2003 as
compared to the fiscal second quarter of 2002 was due primarily to
the sale of the Vascular Access product line.  Additionally, the
favorable change of $100 million for the first fiscal six months
of 2003 as compared to the same period a year ago was due
primarily to a lower level of non-recurring expenses in 2003.

                               -26-


Earnings Before Provision for Taxes on Income
Consolidated  earnings  before  provision  for  taxes  on   income
decreased in both the fiscal second quarter and fiscal six  months
of  2003  by  15.3%  and 1.2%, respectively.    The  $372  million
decrease  in  earnings before provision for taxes for  the  fiscal
second  quarter of 2003 as compared to the same period a year  ago
was  due  to  a $711 million increase in IPR&D charges.   The  $63
million  decrease in earnings before provision for taxes  for  the
first  fiscal six months of 2003 as compared to the same period  a
year  ago  was  due to a $729 million increase in  IPR&D  charges.
Refer  to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further detail on these acquisitions.

Operating Profit by Segment
The Consumer segment operating profit increased in both the fiscal
second quarter and first fiscal six months of 2003 by 9.7% and
19.9%, respectively.   These improvements were due primarily to
volume growth, leveraging of selling, promotion and administrative
expenses offset by increases in advertising.
   The Pharmaceutical segment operating profit decreased in both
the fiscal second quarter and first fiscal six months of 2003 by
30.8% and 8.9%, respectively.  The Pharmaceutical segment
operating profit was negatively impacted in both periods by the
IPR&D charges incurred in connection with the acquisition of Scios
Inc. and an increase in spending related to a sales force
expansion.
   The Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment operating profit
increased in both the fiscal second quarter and first fiscal six
months of 2003 by 19.0% and 14.2%, respectively.   These
improvements were due primarily to volume growth offset by IPR&D
charges incurred in connection with the acquisition of Link Spine
Group, Inc.
   The increase in expenses not allocated to segments for both the
fiscal second quarter and first fiscal six months of 2003 was  due
primarily  to  financing expenses as discussed previously  in  the
Interest (Income) Expense section.

Provision For Taxes on Income
The effective income tax rates for the first fiscal six months  of
2003  and 2002 were 34.2% and 30.9%, respectively, as compared  to
the  U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%.  The difference from  the
statutory   rate   was  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.   The
increase in the tax rate from prior year is due to the acquisition
related   In-process Research and Development charges,  which  are
non-deductible for tax purposes.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share
Worldwide  net  earnings and earnings per  share  for  the  fiscal
second  quarter  of 2003 were $1.2 billion and  $0.40  per  share,
respectively,   representing  a  decline  of  26.8%   and   25.9%,
respectively  versus the same period a year ago.   For  the  first
fiscal six months of 2003, worldwide net earnings and earnings per
share  were  $3.3  billion  and  $1.09  per  share,  respectively,
representing a decline of 5.9% and 3.5%, respectively  versus  the
same  period  a  year  ago.  Net earnings and earnings  per  share
decrease  in both the fiscal second quarter and first  fiscal  six
months  is  due  to  an  increase in  IPR&D  charges  incurred  in
conjunction with acquisitions.

Cash Flows and Liquidity
Cash  generated  from operations and selected borrowings  provided
the  major  sources  of  funds for the  growth  of  the  business,
including  working  capital,  capital expenditures,  acquisitions,
share repurchases, dividends and debt repayments. Cash and current
marketable  securities were $7.9 billion at the end of  the  first
fiscal  six months of 2003 as compared with $7.5 billion at  year-
end 2002.

Capital Expenditures
Additions  to property, plant and equipment were $914 million  for
the  first  fiscal six months of 2003, compared with $802  million
for the same period in 2002.


                               -27-

Dividends
On  April 24, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash
dividend  of  $0.24  per  share,  payable  on  June  10,  2003  to
shareholders  of  record as of May 20, 2003. This  represented  an
increase  of  17.1%  and  was the 41st consecutive  year  of  cash
dividend  increases.  The Company expects to continue the practice
of paying regular cash dividends.


Financial Position & Capital Resources
Total Assets & Returns
Total assets increased $5.1 billion or 12.6% in the first fiscal
six months of 2003 versus year-end 2002. Net intangible assets in
the first six months of 2003 increased 26.6% over year-end 2002
and represented 25.7% of total assets versus 22.8% of total assets
at year-end 2002. The increase was primarily due to intangible
assets associated with acquisitions.  Net property, plant and
equipment increased to $9.1 billion or 4.1% and represented 19.9%
of total assets versus 21.5% of total assets at year-end 2002.
Shareholders' equity per share at the end of the first fiscal six
months of 2003 was $8.23 compared with $7.65 at year-end 2002, an
increase of 7.6%.

Financing & Market Risk
Total borrowings at the end of the first fiscal six months of 2003
were $6.4 billion, an increase of $2.3 billion from year-end 2002.
The increase was due primarily to the acquisition of Scios Inc. as
the  Company  issued  approximately  $1.1  billion  of  short-term
commercial  paper, and $1.1 billion of long-term debt  during  the
fiscal second quarter of 2003.  For the first fiscal six months of
2003,  net  cash  (cash and current marketable securities  net  of
debt)  was  $1.4  billion. At year-end 2002, net  cash  (cash  and
current marketable securities net of debt) was $3.3 billion. Total
debt represented 20.8% of total capital (shareholders' equity  and
total  debt) for the first fiscal six months of 2003 and 15.4%  of
total capital at year-end 2002. As of June 29, 2003, there were no
material cash commitments.


                               -28-

New Accounting Standards
In  June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations." The Company adopted this standard in 2003
that  was effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002
and  it has not had a material impact on the Company's results  of
operations, cash flows or financial position.  In June  2002,  the
FASB  issued  SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated  with
Exit  or  Disposal  Activities" which was effective  for  exit  or
disposal  activities that are initiated after December  31,  2002.
The  Company adopted SFAS No. 146 in the first quarter of 2003 and
it  has  not  had  a material effect on the Company's  results  of
operations, cash flows or financial position.
  On November 25, 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45
(FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements  for
Guarantees,  Including  Indirect  Guarantees  of  Indebtedness  of
Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and
Rescission  of  FASB Interpretation No. 34." FIN 45 clarified  the
requirements   of   FASB   Statement  No.   5,   "Accounting   for
Contingencies,"  relating to the guarantor's accounting  for,  and
disclosure  of,  the issuance of certain types of guarantees.  The
disclosure  requirements  of FIN 45 are  effective  for  financial
statements  of  interim or annual periods that end after  December
15,  2002  and  have  been adopted by the  Company.  There  is  no
disclosure  required for the fiscal second quarter and fiscal  six
months  of  2003.  The  provisions  for  initial  recognition  and
measurement  are effective on a prospective basis  for  guarantees
that  are  issued  or  modified  after  December  31,  2002.   The
Company's adoption of FIN 45 in 2003 has not had a material effect
on  the  Company's results of operations, cash flows or  financial
position.
 In  January  2003,  the  FASB issued FIN  46,  "Consolidation  of
Variable  Interest Entities - an interpretation of  ARB  No.  51,"
which  addresses consolidation of variable interest entities.  FIN
46  expanded the criteria for consideration in determining whether
a  variable  interest entity should be consolidated by a  business
entity,  and  requires existing unconsolidated  variable  interest
entities  (which include, but are not limited to, Special  Purpose
Entities,   or   SPEs)  to  be  consolidated  by   their   primary
beneficiaries  if the entities do not effectively  disperse  risks
among parties involved. This interpretation applied immediately to
variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and  to
variable  interest  entities in which  an  enterprise  obtains  an
interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal  year  or
interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest
entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that  it
acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46  has  not
had a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash
flows or financial position.

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 29, 2002 contains, in Exhibit 99(b), a  discussion
of  various factors that could cause actual results to differ from
expectations.   In  furtherance of that  discussion,  the  Company
notes  that  pending Federal Legislation, including Medicare  drug
coverage  legislation, a drug importation bill and  amendments  to
the  Hatch-Waxman Act, 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 29, 2002.


ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure  Controls and Procedures.  At the  end  of  the  fiscal
second quarter of 2003, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of
the   design   and  operation  of  its  disclosure  controls   and
procedures.  The Company's disclosure controls and procedures  are
the controls and other procedures that the Company has designed to
ensure  that  it records, processes, summarizes and reports  in  a
timely  manner  the information the Company must disclose  in  its
reports  filed  under  the Securities Exchange  Act.   William  C.
Weldon,  Chairman  and  Chief Executive  Officer,  and  Robert  J.
Darretta,  Executive Vice President and Chief  Financial  Officer,
reviewed and participated in this evaluation.
   Based on this evaluation, Messrs. Weldon and Darretta concluded
that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.
Internal  Controls.   Since the date of the  evaluation  described
above,  there  have  not  been  any  significant  changes  in  the
Company's internal controls over financial reporting or  in  other
factors  that could materially affect, or is reasonably likely  to
materially   affect,  those  controls,  including  any  corrective
actions  with  regard  to  significant deficiencies  and  material
weaknesses.


                               -30-

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, Inc. product PROPULSIDr, 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 509 such cases
currently pending, including the claims of approximately 6,100
plaintiffs. In the active cases, 456 individuals 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
overpromotion. 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. An effort to appeal that ruling has been
denied. 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 the Multi-District
Litigation have said they are preserving their right to appeal
that ruling and other complaints filed against Janssen and the
Company include class action allegations, which could be the basis
for future attempts to have classes certified.
   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. In communications to the Company, the excess insurance
carriers have raised certain defenses to their liability under the
policies. However, in the opinion of the Company, those defenses
are pro forma and lack substance and the carriers will honor their
obligations under the policies either voluntarily or after
litigation.




                               -31-

   In patent infringement actions tried in Delaware federal court
in late 2000, Cordis Corporation, a subsidiary of Johnson &
Johnson, 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 were unenforceable owing
to alleged inequitable conduct before the patent office.
   In March and May 2002, the district judge issued post trial
rulings that 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 are underway.   In early June
2003, an arbitration panel in Chicago, in a preliminary ruling,
found in favor of Cordis in its arbitration against ACS/Guidant
involving infringement by ACS/Guidant of a Cordis stent patent. On
or before August 19, 2003, the panel will rule on ACS/Guidant's
further challenge to that preliminary ruling. If the panel adheres
to its ruling, ACS/Guidant is obligated 90 days thereafter to make
a one time payment of $425 million to Cordis in satisfaction if
its obligations under the arbitration agreement.  No continuing
royalties and no injunction are
Involved.
   The products of various Johnson & Johnson operating companies
are the subject of various patent lawsuits which could potentially
affect the ability of those operating companies to sell those
products, require the payment of past damages and future royalties
or, with respect to patent challenges by generic pharmaceutical
firms, result in the introduction of generic versions of the
products in question and the ensuing loss of market share. The
following patent lawsuits concern important products of Johnson &
Johnson operating companies:  Medtronic AVE v. Cordis Corporation:
This action, filed in April 2002 in federal district court in
Texas and thereafter transferred to the federal district court in
Delaware, asserts certain patents owned by Medtronic AVE against
the Cordis BX VELOCITYT stent, which is also the stent structure
used in the CYPHERT drug eluting product. No trial date has been
set for this action. ACS/Guidant v. Cordis Corporation: This is an
arbitration in which ACS/Guidant has asserted its Lau patents
against the Cordis BX VELOCITY stent. In the event ACS/Guidant
prevails, Cordis would pay a pre-negotiated royalty with respect
to past and future BX VELOCITY sales; no injunction would be
issued. The arbitration hearings commence in the fall of 2003.
Boston Scientific Corporation (BSC) v. Cordis Corporation: This
action, filed in Delaware federal court in March of 2003, asserts
that the CYPHERT drug-eluting stent infringes several patents
assigned to BSC. BSC seeks damages and a permanent injunction and
in addition has moved for a preliminary injunction, a hearing on
which was held in late July of 2003.   Medinol Ltd. v. Cordis
Europa NV (Netherlands) and Medinol Ltd. v. Cordis Holding Belgium
BVBA and Janssen Pharmaceutica NV (Belgium):  On July 3, 2003 the
Appeal Court of the Hague overturned a lower court and granted
Medinol, an Israeli stent manufacturer, a preliminary injunction
based on patent infringement prohibiting Cordis from making or
selling the BX Velocity and CYPHER stents in the Netherlands.
Cordis has moved to block the effect of the injunction but, even
if it were to become effective, it is not expected to
significantly  affect sales outside the Netherlands, which is a
small market. In Belgium, Medinol has filed a patent infringement
suit based on the same patent it asserted in the Netherlands, and
moved for a preliminary injunction prohibiting the defendants from
making or





                               -32-

selling the BX Velocity and CYPHER stents there. Cordis currently
uses a Janssen Pharmaceutica facility in Belgium to coat CYPHER
stents with SIROLIMUS principally for the ex-US market. A hearing
on Medinol's preliminary injunction motion in Belgium is currently
scheduled for October. Because of the availability of other
coating facilities outside Belgium and the likely availability of
different stent architecture for use with Sirolimus in Europe,
Medinol's actions in the Netherlands and Belgium, even if
ultimately successful, are not expected significantly to disrupt
sales in Europe of the CYPHER product.
   The following lawsuits are against generic firms that filed
Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) seeking to market
generic forms of products sold by various subsidiaries of the
Company prior to expiration of the applicable patents covering
these products. These ANDAs typically include allegations of non-
infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of these patents.
Ortho-McNeil and Daiichi, Inc. v. Mylan Laboratories and Ortho-
McNeil and Daiichi, Inc. v. Teva Pharmaceutical: These matters,
the first of which was filed in February 2002 in federal court in
West Virginia and the second in June 2002 in federal court in New
Jersey, concern the efforts of Mylan and Teva to invalidate and
establish non-infringement of the patent covering LEVAQUINr
levofloxacin tablets. The patent is owned by Daiichi and
exclusively licensed to Ortho-McNeil. In the Mylan case trial has
been set for October 2003. No trial date has been set in the Teva
matter. Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Daiichi v. Bedford
Laboratories: This matter was filed in federal district court in
New Jersey in April 2003 and involves the effort of Bedford to
invalidate and assert non-infringement of the same Daiichi patent
on LEVAQUIN involved in the above proceedings. In this case,
however, Bedford is challenging the patent's application with
respect to its products which it asserts are equivalent to
LEVAQUIN injection pre-mix and injection vials, rather than
tablets. Janssen Pharmaceutica, Inc. and ALZA Corporation v. Mylan
Laboratories:
This action, filed in federal district court in Vermont in January
2002, concerns Mylan's effort to invalidate and assert non-
infringement and unenforceability of ALZA's patent covering the
DURAGESICr product.  Trial is scheduled for late August 2003.
Janssen Pharmaceutica NV v. Eon Labs Manufacturing: This action
was filed in federal court in the Eastern District of New York in
April 2001 and concerns Eon's effort to invalidate and establish
non- infringement of Janssen's patent covering SPORANOXr
(itraconozole).  No trial date has yet been scheduled. Ortho-
McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc. v. Kali Laboratories, Inc.: This
lawsuit was filed in federal court in New Jersey in November 2002
and concerns the attempt of Kali to invalidate and establish non-
infringement of Ortho-McNeil's patent covering ULTRACETr (tramadol-
acetaminophen) tablets. No trial date has been set for this case.
ALZA Corporation v. Mylan Laboratories: This action was filed in
federal district court in West Virginia in May 2003 and concerns
Mylan's effort to invalidate and assert non-infringement of an
ALZA patent covering the DITROPAN XLr product. No trial date has
been set for this case.
   With respect to all of the above matters, the Johnson & Johnson
operating company involved is vigorously defending the validity
and asserting the infringement of its own or its licensors'
patents or, where its product is accused of infringing patents
held by others, defending against those claims.
   The New York State Attorney General's office and the Federal
Trade Commission issued subpoenas in January and February 2003
seeking documents relating to the marketing of sutures and
endoscopic instruments by the Company's Ethicon, Inc. and Ethicon
Endo-Surgery, Inc. subsidiaries. The Connecticut Attorney
General's office has requested the same documents. These subpoenas
focus on the bundling of sutures and endoscopic instruments in
contracts offered to Group Purchasing Organizations and individual
hospitals in which discounts are predicated on the hospital
achieving specified market share targets for both categories of
products. The operating companies involved are responding to the
subpoenas.



                               -33-

   On June 26, 2003, the Company received a request for records
and information from the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee
on Energy and Commerce in connection with its investigation into
pharmaceutical reimbursements and rebates under Medicaid. The
Committee's request focuses on the drug REMICADEr (infliximab),
marketed by the Company's Centocor, Inc. subsidiary.  On July 2,
2003, Centocor received a request that it voluntarily provide
documents and information to the criminal division of the U.S.
Attorney's Office, District of New Jersey, in connection with its
investigation into various Centocor marketing practices. Both the
Company and Centocor are responding to these requests for
documents and information.
   The Company is also involved in a number of other patent,
trademark and other lawsuits incidental to its business.
    The  ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company  in
respect to all claims, lawsuits and proceedings referred to  above
cannot be estimated with any certainty. However, in the opinion of
management,  based  on  its  examination  of  these  matters,  its
experience  to  date  and discussions with counsel,  the  ultimate
outcome  of  these  legal proceedings, net of liabilities  already
accrued  in  the  Company's consolidated  balance  sheet,  is  not
expected  to  have  a  material adverse effect  on  the  Company's
consolidated  financial position, although the resolution  in  any
reporting  period  of one or more of these matters  could  have  a
significant impact on the Company's results of operations for that
period.
