NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 —
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of Johnson & Johnson and its Subsidiaries (the “Company”) and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010. 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 statement of the results for the periods presented.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance and amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, which the Company adopted in the fiscal first quarter of 2010. The guidance also (a) provides principles and application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (b) requires an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price; and(c) eliminates the use of the residual method and requires an entity to allocate the revenue using the relative selling price method. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position however it will expand the disclosures for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.
During the fiscal first quarter of 2010 the Company adopted the FASB standard related to variable interest entities. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
During the fiscal first quarter of 2010 the Company adopted the new accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance requires the Company to disclose the amount of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 inputs and the reasons for these transfers as well as the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the guidance clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
During the fiscal second quarter of 2010 the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to revenue recognition under the milestone method. The objective of the accounting standard update is to provide guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. This update is effective on a prospective basis for

milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

NOTE 3 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The latest impairment assessment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets was completed in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2009. Future impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will be performed annually in the fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if warranted.

The weighted average amortization periods for patents and trademarks and other intangible assets are 17 years and 28 years, respectively. The amortization expense of amortizable intangible assets for the fiscal six months ended July 4, 2010 was $353 million, and the estimated amortization expense for the five succeeding years approximates $700 million, per year.
NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company uses forward exchange contracts to manage its exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to the foreign exchange rate changes of future intercompany product and third- party purchases of raw materials denominated in foreign currency. The Company also uses cross currency interest rate swaps to manage currency risk primarily related to borrowings. Both types of derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company also uses forward exchange contracts to manage its exposure to the variability of cash flows for repatriation of foreign dividends. These contracts are designated as net investment hedges. Additionally, the Company uses forward exchange contracts to offset its exposure to certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. These forward exchange contracts are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, or contain credit risk related contingent features or requirements to post collateral. On an ongoing basis the Company monitors counterparty credit ratings. The Company considers credit non-performance risk to be low, because the Company enters into agreements with commercial institutions that have at least an A (or equivalent) credit rating. As of July 4, 2010, the Company had notional amounts outstanding for forward foreign exchange contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps of $23 billion and $3 billion, respectively.
All derivative instruments are to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction, and if so, the type of hedge transaction.

Table of Contents

The designation as a cash flow hedge is made at the entrance date into the derivative contract. At inception, all derivatives are expected to be highly effective. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge and is highly effective are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction affects earnings, and are then reclassified to earnings in the same account as the hedged transaction. Gains/losses on net investment hedges are accounted for through the currency translation account and are insignificant. On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses whether each derivative continues to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. If and when a derivative is no longer expected to be highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is included in current period earnings in other (income) and expense, net, and was not material for the fiscal quarters and fiscal six months ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009. Refer to Note 7 for disclosures of movements in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
As of July 4, 2010, the balance of deferred net gains on derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $56 million after-tax. For additional information, see Note 7. The Company expects that substantially all of the amounts related to foreign exchange contracts will be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months as a result of transactions that are expected to occur over that period. The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging transaction exposure is 18 months excluding interest rate swaps. 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.

Fair value is the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-

based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative literature establishes a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels within the hierarchy are described below with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.
The fair value of a derivative financial instrument (i.e. forward exchange contract, currency swap) is the aggregation by currency of all future cash flows discounted to its present value at the prevailing market interest rates and subsequently converted to the U.S. dollar at the current spot foreign exchange rate. The Company does not believe that fair values of these derivative instruments materially differ from the amounts that could be realized upon settlement or maturity, or that the changes in fair value will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. The Company also holds equity investments which are classified as Level 1 since they are traded in an active exchange market. The Company did not have any other significant financial assets or liabilities which would require revised valuations under this standard that are recognized at fair value.
The following three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs.
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs.
The Company’s significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of July 4, 2010 and January 3, 2010 were as follows:

The weighted average effective rate on non-current debt is 5.43%.
Fair value of the non-current debt was estimated using market prices, which were corroborated by quoted broker prices in active markets.
NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES
The worldwide effective income tax rates for the first fiscal six months of 2010 and 2009 were 24.0% and 24.6%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate was primarily due to a decline in taxable income in higher tax jurisdictions relative to taxable income in lower tax jurisdictions partially offset by the U.S. Research and Development tax credit which was not in effect for the first fiscal six months of 2010. In the second quarter of 2010 the Company received a favorable tax ruling related to a litigation settlement which reduced the tax rate previously recorded in the first quarter of 2010.

The diluted earnings per share calculation for both fiscal second quarters ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009 included the dilutive effect of convertible debt that was offset by the related reduction in interest expense.
The diluted earnings per share calculation for the fiscal second quarters ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009 excluded 68 million and 178 million shares, respectively, related to stock options, as the exercise price of these options was greater than their average market value, which would result in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share.

During the fiscal first quarter of 2009, the Company acquired Mentor Corporation, a leading supplier of medical products for the global aesthetic market, for a net purchase price of $1.1 billion. The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated primarily to amortizable intangible assets for $0.9 billion and goodwill for $0.4 billion.
NOTE 11 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
PRODUCT LIABILITY
The Company’s subsidiaries are involved in numerous product liability cases in the United States, many of which concern alleged 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 that accompany such products, it is not feasible to predict the ultimate outcome of litigation. However, the Company believes that if any product liability results from such cases, it will be substantially covered by existing amounts accrued in the Company’s balance sheet and, where available, by third-party product liability insurance.
     Multiple products of Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries are subject to numerous product liability claims and lawsuits. There are a significant number of claimants who have pending lawsuits or claims regarding injuries allegedly due to ORTHO EVRA®, RISPERDAL®, LEVAQUIN®, DURAGESIC®, the CHARITÉ™ Artificial Disc and CYPHER® Stent. These claimants seek substantial compensatory and, where available, punitive damages.
     With respect to RISPERDAL®, the Attorneys General of multiple states and the Office of General Counsel of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have filed actions seeking reimbursement of Medicaid or other public funds for RISPERDAL® prescriptions written for off-label use, compensation for treating their citizens for alleged adverse reactions to RISPERDAL®, civil fines or penalties, damages for “overpayments” by the state and others, punitive damages, or other relief. The Attorney General of Texas has joined a qui tam action in that state seeking similar relief. Certain of these actions also seek injunctive relief relating to the promotion of RISPERDAL®. The Attorneys General of more than 40 other states have indicated a potential interest in pursuing similar litigation against the Company’s subsidiary, Janssen Pharmaceutica Inc. (Janssen) (now Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OMJPI)), and have obtained a tolling agreement staying the running of the statute of limitations while they inquire into the issues. In addition, there are six cases filed by union health plans seeking damages for alleged overpayments for RISPERDAL®, several of which seek certification as class actions. One of these has been dismissed on Summary Judgment. In the case brought by the Attorney General of West Virginia, based on claims for alleged consumer fraud as to DURAGESIC® as well as RISPERDAL®, Janssen (now OMJPI) was found liable and damages were assessed at $4.5 million. OMJPI filed an appeal. The West Virginia Supreme Court has accepted Janssen’s

Table of Contents

appeal from that Judgment. It will be orally argued in September 2010. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania suit against Janssen, trial commenced in June 2010. The Judge dismissed the case after the close of the plaintiff’s evidence. The Commonwealth has filed post-trial motions and may appeal. Other cases scheduled for trial are in Louisiana and South Carolina, currently scheduled in September 2010, and Texas scheduled in January 2011. In addition, Attorneys General of many states have been involved in a coordinated civil investigation of OMJPI regarding potential consumer fraud actions in connection with the marketing of RISPERDAL®.
PATENT LITIGATION
The products of various Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries are the subject of various patent lawsuits, the outcomes of which could potentially adversely affect the ability of those subsidiaries to sell those products, or require the payment of past damages and future royalties.
     On January 29, 2010, Cordis Corporation (Cordis) settled a patent infringement action against Boston Scientific Corporation (Boston Scientific) in Delaware Federal District Court accusing its Express2™, Taxus® and Liberte® stents of infringing the Palmaz and Gray patents. Under the terms of the settlement Boston Scientific dropped its lawsuit in which Cordis’ Cypher stent was found to have infringed their Jang patent and paid Cordis $1.0 billion on February 1, 2010. Boston Scientific also agreed to pay Cordis an additional $725 million plus interest by January 3, 2011. On August 2, 2010, Boston Scientific paid the full $725 million plus interest. The Company recorded the $1.7 billion in the fiscal first quarter of 2010. Cordis granted Boston Scientific a worldwide license under the Palmaz and Gray patents and Boston Scientific granted Cordis a worldwide license under the Jang patents for all stents sold by Cordis except the 2.25mm size Cypher.
     Cordis has several pending lawsuits in the New Jersey and Delaware Federal District Court, against Guidant Corporation (Guidant), Abbott Laboratories, Inc. (Abbott), Boston Scientific and Medtronic Ave, Inc. (Medtronic) alleging that the Xience V™ (Abbott), Promus™ (Boston Scientific) and Endeavor® (Medtronic) drug eluting stents infringe several patents owned by or licensed to Cordis. In one of the cases against Boston Scientific, alleging that sales of their Promus™ stent infringed Wright and Falotico patents, on January 20, 2010 the District Court in Delaware found the Wright/Falotico patent invalid for lack of written description and/or lack of enablement. Cordis has appealed this ruling.
     In October 2004, Tyco Healthcare Group, LP, (Tyco) and U.S. Surgical Corporation sued Ethicon Endo-Surgery (EES) alleging that several features of EES’s harmonic scalpel infringed four Tyco patents. In October 2007, the court granted in part and denied in part cross-motions for summary judgment. As a result of the opinion, a number of claims have been found invalid and a number have been found infringed. No claim has been found valid and infringed. Trial commenced in December 2007, and the court dismissed the case without prejudice on grounds that Tyco did not

22


Table of Contents

own the patents in suit. The dismissal without prejudice was affirmed on appeal. In January 2010, Tyco filed another complaint in the District of Connecticut asserting three of the four patents from the previous suit and adding new products. The case is scheduled to be trial ready by June 2011.
     In May 2008, Centocor, Inc. (Centocor) (now Centocor Ortho Biotech Inc. (COBI)) filed a lawsuit against Genentech, Inc. (Genentech) in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California seeking to invalidate the Cabilly II patent. Prior to filing suit, Centocor had a sublicense under this patent from Celltech (who was licensed by Genentech) for REMICADE® and had been paying royalties to Celltech. Centocor has terminated that sublicense and stopped paying royalties. Genentech has filed a counterclaim alleging that REMICADE® infringes its Cabilly II patents. Genentech has dropped all its other claims that the manufacture of REMICADE®, STELARA™, SIMPONI™ and ReoPro® also infringes one of its other patents relating to the purification of antibodies made through recombinant DNA techniques. The court has scheduled a hearing for Summary Judgment Motions in August 2010.
     In April 2009, a bench trial was held before the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Florida on the liability phase of CIBA VISION Corporation’s (CIBA) patent infringement lawsuit alleging that Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.’s (JJVC) ACUVUE® OASYS™ lenses infringe three of their Nicholson patents. In August 2009, the District Court found two of these patents valid and infringed and entered judgment against JJVC. JJVC has appealed that judgment to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On April 27, 2010 the District Court denied Ciba’s motion to permanently enjoin the infringing lenses. If the judgment is upheld on appeal the Court will schedule another trial to determine damages and willfulness.
     In May 2009, Abbott Biotechnology Ltd. (Abbott) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Centocor (now COBI) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The suit alleges that Centocor’s SIMPONI™ product, a human anti-TNF alpha antibody, infringes Abbott’s ‘394 patent (the Salfeld patent). The case had been stayed pending the resolution of an arbitration filed by Centocor directed to its claim that it is licensed under the ‘394 patent. In June 2010, the Arbitrator ruled that Centocor did not have a license to the patents-in-suit. The matter will proceed before the District Court of Massachusetts on the issues of infringement and validity of the Abbott patents.
     In August 2009, Abbott GmbH & Co. (Abbott GmbH) and Abbott Bioresearch Center filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Centocor (now COBI) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The suit alleges that COBI’s STELARA™ product infringes two U.S. patents assigned to Abbott GmbH. In August 2009, COBI filed a complaint for a declaratory judgment of non-infringement and invalidity of the Abbott GmbH patents in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. On the same date, also in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, COBI filed a Complaint for Review of a

23


Table of Contents

Patent Interference Decision granting priority of invention on one of the two asserted patents to Abbott GmbH. In August 2009, Abbott GmbH and Abbott Laboratories Limited brought a patent infringement suit in Canada alleging that STELARA™ infringes Abbott GmbH’s Canadian patent. The cases filed by COBI in the District of Columbia have been transferred to the District of Massachusetts.
     In August 2009, Bayer Healthcare LLC (Bayer) filed suit against COBI in Massachusetts District Court alleging infringement by COBI’s SIMPONI™ product of its patent relating to human anti-TNF antibodies. Bayer has also filed suit under its European counterpart to these patents in Germany and the Netherlands.
     In June 2009, Centocor’s (now COBI) lawsuit alleging that Abbott’s HUMIRA® anti-TNF alpha product infringes Centocor’s ‘775 patent went to trial in Federal District Court in the Eastern District of Texas. On June 28, 2009 a jury returned a verdict finding the patent valid and willfully infringed, and awarded Centocor damages of approximately $1.7 billion. A bench trial on Abbott’s defenses, of inequitable conduct and prosecution laches, was held in August 2009, and the District Court decided these issues in favor of Centocor. All of Abbott’s post trial motions have been denied except that the District Court granted Abbott’s motion to overturn the jury finding of willfulness. Judgment in the amount of $1.9 billion was entered in favor of Centocor in December 2009 and Abbott has filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit therefore, the Company has not reflected any of the $1.9 billion in its consolidated financial statements. Centocor has also filed a new lawsuit in the Eastern District of Texas seeking damages for infringement of the ‘775 patent attributable to sales of HUMIRA® subsequent to the jury verdict in June 2009.

LITIGATION AGAINST FILERS OF ABBREVIATED NEW DRUG APPLICATIONS (ANDAs)
The following chart indicates lawsuits pending 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 those products. These ANDAs typically include allegations of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of these patents. In the event the subsidiary of the Company involved is not successful in these actions, or the statutory 30-month stay expires before a ruling from the District Court is obtained, the firms involved will have the ability, upon FDA approval, to introduce generic versions of the product at issue resulting in very substantial market share and revenue losses for the product of the Company’s subsidiary.
     As noted in the following chart, 30-month stays expired during 2009, and will expire in 2010, 2011 and 2012 with respect to ANDA challenges regarding various products:

In October 2008, the Company’s subsidiary Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OMJPI) filed suit in Federal District Court in New Jersey against Watson Laboratories, Inc. (Watson) in response to Watson’s ANDA regarding ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN® LO. In June 2009, OMJPI filed suit in Federal District Court in New Jersey against Sandoz Laboratories, Inc. (Sandoz) in response to Sandoz’s ANDA regarding ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN® LO. The Sandoz and Watson cases have been consolidated.
     In January 2010, the Company’s subsidiary OMJPI filed suit in Federal District Court in New Jersey against Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively “Lupin”) in response to Lupin’s ANDA regarding ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN® LO. The Lupin case has been consolidated with the Watson and Sandoz cases (discussed above).
     In the action by McNEIL-PPC, Inc. (McNeil-PPC) and ALZA Corporation (ALZA) against Andrx Corporation (Andrx) with respect to its ANDA challenge to the CONCERTA® patents, a five-day non-jury trial was held in the Federal District Court in Delaware in December 2007. In March 2009, the court ruled that one CONCERTA® patent would not be infringed by Andrx’s proposed generic product and that the patent was invalid because it was not enabled. The court dismissed without prejudice Andrx’s declaratory judgment suit on a second patent for lack of jurisdiction. McNeil-PPC and ALZA filed an appeal in May 2009. The appeals court heard argument on February 3, 2010. On April 26, 2010, the court of appeals affirmed the judgment of the district court that the patent is invalid because it is not enabled. The court did not reach the issue of infringement.
     ALZA and OMJPI filed a second suit in Federal District Court in Delaware against Kremers-Urban, LLC and KUDCO Ireland, Ltd. (KUDCO) in January 2010 in response to KUDCO’s ANDA challenge regarding CONCERTA® tablets. In its notice letter, KUDCO contends that two ALZA patents for CONCERTA® are invalid and not infringed by a KUDCO generic.
     In the action against Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Lupin) regarding its ANDA concerning LEVAQUIN®, Lupin contends that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office improperly granted a patent term extension to the patent that Ortho-McNeil (now Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OMJPI)) licenses from Daiichi Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Daiichi). Lupin alleges that the active ingredient in LEVAQUIN® was the subject of prior marketing, and therefore was not eligible for the patent term extension. Lupin concedes validity and that its product would violate the patent if marketed prior to the expiration of the original patent term. Summary judgment against Lupin was granted in May 2009 and Lupin appealed. Oral argument was held in September 2009. In May 2010, the Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court in favor of Ortho-McNeil and Daiichi that the patent term extension

26


Table of Contents

covering LEVAQUIN®(levofloxacin) is valid. Thereafter, Lupin requested rehearing en banc, which was denied.
     In the ULTRAM® ER actions, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Ortho-McNeil) (now OMJPI), filed lawsuits (each for different dosages) against Par Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Par Pharmaceuticals Companies, Inc. (Par) in May, June and October 2007 on two Tramadol ER formulation patents owned by Purdue Pharma Products L.P. (Purdue) and Napp Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. (Napp). OMJPI also filed lawsuits (each for different dosages) against Impax Laboratories, Inc. (Impax) on a Tramadol ER formulation patent owned by Purdue and Napp in August and November 2008. Purdue, Napp and Biovail Laboratories International SRL (Biovail) (the NDA holder) joined as co-plaintiffs in the lawsuits against Par and Impax, but Biovail and OMJPI were subsequently dismissed for lack of standing. The trial against Par took place in April 2009. In August 2009, the Court issued a decision finding the patents-in-suit invalid. Purdue has appealed that decision. In November 2009, the case against Impax was stayed with the consent of all parties. In September and October 2009, respectively, Purdue filed suits against Paddock Laboratories, Inc. (Paddock) and Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Cipher) on its Tramadol ER formulation patents. In June 2010, the Federal Circuit Court affirmed the District Court’s decision in the Par case. The case against Cipher was dismissed based on the collateral estoppel effect of the Par decision.
     In January 2010, Purdue filed a suit against Lupin Ltd. (Lupin) on its Tramadol ER formulation patents.
GENERAL LITIGATION
In September 2004, plaintiffs in an employment discrimination litigation initiated against the Company in 2001 in Federal District Court in New Jersey moved to certify a class of all African American and Hispanic salaried employees of the Company and its affiliates in the U.S., who were employed at any time from November 1997 to the present. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages for the period 1997 through the present (including punitive damages) and equitable relief. The Court denied plaintiffs’ class certification motion in December 2006 and their motion for reconsideration in April 2007. Plaintiffs sought to appeal these decisions and, in April 2008, the Court of Appeals ruled that plaintiffs’ appeal of the denial of class certification was untimely. In July 2009, plaintiffs filed a motion for certification of a modified class, which the Company opposed. The district court heard oral argument on plaintiffs’ motion in July 2010. The court recently ruled by denying plaintiffs’ motion for certification of the modified class.
     In September 2009, Centocor Ortho Biotech Products, L.P. (COBI) intervened in an inventorship dispute between Kansas University Center for Research (KUCR) involving certain U.S. government-owned VELCADE® formulation patents. KUCR brought this action against the

27


Table of Contents

U.S. government in the District of Kansas seeking to add two Kansas University scientists to the patents. The U.S. government licensed the patents (and their foreign counterparts) to Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., who in turn sublicensed the patents (and their foreign counterparts) to COBI for commercial marketing outside the U.S. If KUCR succeeds in its co-inventorship claim and establishes co-ownership in the U.S. VELCADE® formulation patents, there is a potential for the same issue to arise with respect to the foreign counterparts of the patents. If KUCR is successful, this may adversely affect COBI’s license rights in those countries. In May 2010, the parties reached an agreement to resolve the disputes in this case and will submit the inventorship issue to arbitration, and the case has been stayed pending the arbitration. If KUCR wins the arbitration, the parties will request that the Court issue an order to correct inventorship on the relevant patents; if the U.S. Government, COBI, and MPI prevail, the case will be dismissed with prejudice.
     In February 2009, Basilea Pharmaceutica AG (Basilea) brought an arbitration against the Company and various affiliates alleging that the Company breached the 2005 License Agreement for Cefto-biprole by, among other things, failing to secure FDA approval of the cSSSI (skin) indication and allegedly failing to properly develop the pneumonia indication. Basilea is seeking to recover significant damages and a declaration that the Company materially breached the agreement. The arbitration hearing has concluded, post hearing briefs are being submitted, and a decision by the panel is expected this fall.
     In May 2009, COBI commenced an arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association against Schering-Plough Corporation and its subsidiary Schering-Plough (Ireland) Company (collectively, Schering-Plough). COBI and Schering-Plough are parties to a series of agreements (the Distribution Agreements) that grant Schering-Plough the exclusive right to distribute the drugs REMICADE® and SIMPONI™ worldwide, except within the United States, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the People’s Republic of China (including Hong Kong) (the “Territory”). COBI distributes REMICADE® and SIMPONI™, the next generation treatment, within the United States. In the arbitration, COBI seeks a declaration that the agreement and merger between Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck) and Schering-Plough constitutes a change of control under the terms of the Distribution Agreements that permits COBI to terminate the Agreements. The termination of the Distribution Agreements would return to COBI the right to distribute REMICADE® and SIMPONI™ within the Territory. Schering-Plough has filed a response to COBI’s arbitration demand that denies that it has undergone a change of control. The arbitrators have been selected and the matter will be proceeding to arbitration in late September 2010.
     In December 2009, the State of Israel (Sheba Medical Center) filed suit against the Company’s subsidiary, Omrix, and its affiliates. In the lawsuit, the

28


Table of Contents

State claims that an employee of a government-owned hospital was the inventor on several patents related to fibrin glue technology, that he developed while he was a government employee. The State claims that he had no right to transfer any intellectual property to Omrix because it belongs to the State. The State is seeking damages plus royalty on QUIXIL™ and EVICEL™ or, alternatively, transfer of the patents to the State.
          Average Wholesale Price (AWP) Litigation — Johnson & Johnson and several of its pharmaceutical subsidiaries, along with numerous other pharmaceutical companies, are defendants in a series of lawsuits in state and federal courts involving allegations that the pricing and marketing of certain pharmaceutical products amounted to fraudulent and otherwise actionable conduct because, among other things, the companies allegedly reported an inflated Average Wholesale Price (AWP) for the drugs at issue. Many of these cases, both federal actions and state actions removed to federal court, have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes in a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) in Federal District Court in Boston, Massachusetts. The plaintiffs in these cases include classes of private persons or entities that paid for any portion of the purchase of the drugs at issue based on AWP, and state government entities that made Medicaid payments for the drugs at issue based on AWP.
          The MDL Court identified classes of Massachusetts-only private insurers providing “Medi-gap” insurance coverage and private payers for physician-administered drugs where payments were based on AWP (“Class 2” and “Class 3”), and a national class of individuals who made co-payments for physician-administered drugs covered by Medicare (“Class 1”). A trial of the two Massachusetts-only class actions concluded before the MDL Court in December 2006. In June 2007, the MDL Court issued post-trial rulings, dismissing the Johnson & Johnson defendants from the case regarding all claims of Classes 2 and 3, and subsequently of Class 1 as well. Plaintiffs appealed the Class 1 judgment and, in September 2009, the Court of Appeals vacated the judgment and remanded for further proceedings in the District Court. AWP cases brought by various Attorneys General have proceeded to trial against other manufacturers. Three state cases against certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have been set for trial: Pennsylvania in October 2010, Hawaii in November 2010, Idaho in October 2011, and Kentucky in January 2012. Other state cases are likely to be set for trial in the coming year.
          In April 2010, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that the company, together with co-defendant Omnicare, Inc. and other unidentified companies or individuals, engaged in a conspiracy to restrain trade and in unlawful, unfair and fraudulent business acts or practices in violation of California Business and Professions Code. The Company filed a motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs then filed an amended complaint. The Company’s answer or other response to the amended complaint is due in September 2010.

          Johnson & Johnson has been named the nominal defendant in six shareholder derivative lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of Company shareholders against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company derivatively on behalf of the Company: Calamore v. Coleman et. al., filed April 21, 2010; Carpenters Pension Fund of West Virginia v. Weldon, et. al., filed May 5, 2010; Feldman v. Coleman, et. al., filed May 6, 2010; Hawaii Laborers Pension Fund v. Weldon, et. al., filed May 14, 2010; Ryan v. Weldon, et. al., filed June 18, 2010; and Minneapolis Firefighters’ Relief Association, NECA-IBEW Pension Trust Fund, and NECA-IBEW Welfare Trust Fund v. Weldon, et. al., filed June 24, 2010. Each of these shareholder derivative actions is similar in its claims in asserting a variety of alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, including, among other things, that the defendants allegedly engaged in, approved of, or failed to remedy or prevent improper pharmaceutical rebates, improper off-label marketing of pharmaceutical and medical device products, violations of current good manufacturing practice regulations that resulted in product recalls, and failed to disclose the aforementioned alleged misconduct in the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each complaint seeks a variety of relief, including monetary damages and corporate governance reforms. Motions to consolidate these shareholder derivative actions are pending.
          In addition, on July 27, 2010, a complaint was filed by a shareholder of the Company in New Jersey Superior Court, Chancery Division, Middlesex County (Lipschutz v. Johnson & Johnson) seeking to compel inspection of Company books and records with respect to certain product recalls and various manufacturing plants.
OTHER
In July 2003, Centocor (now COBI), a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, 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. Subsequent requests for documents have been received from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Both the Company and Centocor have responded to these requests for documents and information.
     In December 2003, Ortho-McNeil (now OMJPI) received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston, Massachusetts seeking documents relating to the marketing, including alleged off-label marketing, of the drug TOPAMAX® (topiramate). In the fiscal second quarter of 2010, OMJPI entered into a settlement agreement resolving the federal government’s investigation. The settlement includes total payments of $81.5 million plus interest, an amount previously reserved. As one part of the resolution, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, L.L.C., a subsidiary of OMJPI, has agreed to plead guilty to a single misdemeanor violation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and to pay a $6.1 million criminal fine. OMJPI denies it engaged in any wrongful conduct, beyond acknowledging

the limited conduct of Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, L.L.C. that is the basis of the misdemeanor plea. The balance of the total settlement amount is a civil payment, part of which was paid to the federal government and part of which was paid or set aside for payment to states for their Medicaid programs.
     In January 2004, Janssen (now OMJPI) received a subpoena from the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management seeking documents concerning sales and marketing of, any and all payments to physicians in connection with sales and marketing of, and clinical trials for, RISPERDAL® (risperidone) from 1997 to 2002. Documents subsequent to 2002 have also been requested. An additional subpoena seeking information about marketing of and adverse reactions to RISPERDAL® was received from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in November 2005. Subpoenas seeking testimony from various witnesses before a grand jury have also been received. Janssen is cooperating in responding to ongoing requests for documents and witnesses. The government is continuing to actively investigate this matter. In February 2010, the government served Civil Investigative Demands seeking additional information relating to sales and marketing of RISPERDAL® and sales and marketing of INVEGA®.
     In September 2004, Ortho Biotech Inc. (Ortho Biotech) (now COBI), received a subpoena from the U.S. Office of Inspector General’s Denver, Colorado field office seeking documents directed to the sales and marketing of PROCRIT® (Epoetin alfa) from 1997 to the present, as well as to dealings with U.S. Oncology Inc., a healthcare services network for oncologists.

     In July 2005, Scios Inc. (Scios), a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts, seeking documents related to the sales and marketing of NATRECOR®. Scios responded to the subpoena. In early August 2005, Scios was advised that the investigation would be handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California in San Francisco. Additional requests for documents have been received and responded to and former Scios employees have testified before a grand jury in San Francisco. The qui tam complaints were unsealed on February 19, 2009. The U.S. government has intervened in one of the qui tam actions, and filed a complaint against Scios and the Company in June 2009. Scios and Johnson & Johnson filed a motion to dismiss the qui tam complaint filed by the government, and that motion was denied. The criminal investigation is continuing and discussions are underway in an

effort to settle this matter. Whether a settlement can be reached and on what terms is uncertain.
     In September 2005, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts, seeking documents related to sales and marketing of eight drugs to Omnicare, Inc., (Omnicare) a manager of pharmaceutical benefits for long-term care facilities. The Company’s subsidiaries involved responded to the subpoena. Several employees of the Company’s pharmaceutical subsidiaries were subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in connection with this investigation. In April 2009, the Company was served with the complaints in two civil qui tam cases related to marketing of prescription drugs to Omnicare, Inc. On January 15, 2010, the government filed a complaint intervening in the cases. The complaint asserts claims under the federal False Claims Act and a related state law claim in connection with the marketing of several drugs to Omnicare. The complaints allege that Johnson & Johnson provided Omnicare, Inc. with rebates and other alleged kickbacks, and in so doing, caused Omnicare to file false claims with Medicaid and other government programs. Subsequently, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Virginia, and Kentucky, and the States of California and Indiana intervened in the action. A motion to dismiss has been filed and is pending.
     In February 2006, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) requesting documents relating to the participation by several Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries in the United Nations Iraq Oil for Food Program. The subsidiaries are cooperating with the SEC and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in producing responsive information.
     In February 2007, the Company voluntarily disclosed to the DOJ and the SEC that subsidiaries outside the United States are believed to have made improper payments in connection with the sale of medical devices in two small-market countries, which payments may fall within the jurisdiction of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). In the course of continuing dialogues with the agencies, other issues potentially rising to the level of FCPA violations in additional markets have been brought to the attention of the agencies by the Company. The Company has provided and will continue to provide additional information to the DOJ and SEC, and will cooperate with the agencies’ reviews of these matters. Law enforcement agencies of a number of other countries are also pursuing investigations of matters voluntarily disclosed by the Company to the DOJ and SEC. Discussions are underway in an effort to resolve these matters, and the Iraq Oil for Food matter referenced above, but whether agreement can be reached and on what terms is uncertain.
     In May 2007, the New York State Attorney General issued a subpoena seeking information relating to the marketing and safety of PROCRIT®. The Company is responding to these requests.

33


Table of Contents

the recall of certain Motrin products by McNeil Consumer Healthcare. The Company produced documents and other information in response to these requests. In addition, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, and certain affiliates including Johnson & Johnson (“the Companies”), received grand jury subpoenas from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania requesting documents broadly relating to recent recalls of various products of McNeil Consumer Healthcare, and the FDA inspections of the Fort Washington, Pennsylvania and Lancaster, Pennsylvania manufacturing facilities. The Companies are cooperating with the United States Attorney’s Office in responding to the subpoenas. Also, multiple complaints seeking class action certification related to the recalls have been filed. The Company has also received Civil Investigative Demands from multiple State Attorneys General Offices relating to the same issues.
     In recent years the Company has received numerous requests from a variety of United States Congressional Committees to produce information relevant to ongoing congressional inquiries. It is the Company’s policy to cooperate with these inquiries by producing the requested information.
     With respect to all the above matters, the Company and its subsidiaries are vigorously contesting the allegations asserted against them and otherwise pursuing defenses to maximize the prospect of success. The Company and its subsidiaries involved in these matters continually evaluate their strategies in managing these matters and, where appropriate, pursue settlements and other resolutions where those are in the best interest of the Company.
     The Company is also involved in a number of 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 Company’s opinion, based on its examination of these matters, its experience to date and discussions with counsel, the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, net of liabilities accrued in the Company’s balance sheet, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for that period.
NOTE 12 – RESTRUCTURING
In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company announced global restructuring initiatives designed to strengthen the Company’s position as one of the world’s leading global health care companies.

The OTC Pharmaceuticals and Nutritionals franchise experienced an operational decline of 13.4% as compared to prior year fiscal second quarter. Sales were negatively impacted by the voluntary recalls of certain OTC products announced earlier in the year and suspension of production at McNeil Consumer Healthcare’s Fort Washington, Pennsylvania facility. The Company anticipates having alternative sources of supply before the end of 2010 for a limited number of the products that were produced at this facility. The impact to 2010 annual sales from not shipping products produced at this facility is estimated at approximately $600 million.

Alternate supply of the remainder of these products is projected to start in the first quarter of 2011 and continue to expand throughout the year. McNeil Consumer Healthcare submitted its comprehensive remediation plan to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 15, 2010, which encompasses, among other items, training, resources and capital investments in quality and manufacturing systems across the McNeil organization. The Company continues to work closely with the FDA on remediation actions.
The Skin Care franchise achieved operational growth of 1.1%. NEUTROGENA® and JOHNSON’s Adult were the major contributors to this growth.

The Women’s Health Franchise experienced an operational decline of 4.5% as compared to prior year fiscal second quarter. Sales were negatively impacted by increased competition and new product launches in the prior year.
The Oral Care franchise experienced an operational decline of 5.8% due in part to the divestiture of the EFFERDENT®/Effergrip® brands in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2009.

REMICADE® (infliximab), a biologic approved for the treatment of a number of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, achieved operational growth of 2.5% over prior year fiscal second quarter. Growth was primarily driven by market growth partially offset by lower market share due to increased competition, including other of the Company’s immunology products, SIMPONI® (golimumab) and STELARA® (ustekinumab). REMICADE® is competing in a market which is experiencing increased competition due to new entrants and the expansion of indications for existing competitors.
PROCRITâ (Epoetin alfa)/EPREXâ (Epoetin alfa), experienced an operational sales decline of 8.1%, as compared to the prior year fiscal second quarter. The decline in PROCRITâ sales was due to the declining markets for Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (ESAs). The decline in EPREXâ sales was due to increased competition and a slowdown in certain European markets.
RISPERDAL® CONSTA® (risperidone), a long-acting injectable antipsychotic, achieved operational growth of 3.4% over the fiscal second quarter of 2009 due to growth outside the U.S.
CONCERTAâ (methylphenidate HCl), a product for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, achieved operational sales growth of 1.2% as compared to the prior year fiscal second quarter due to growth outside the U.S. Sales in the U.S. were adversely impacted by the newly enacted health care reform legislation due to changes to rebates to Medicaid managed care

organizations. Although the original CONCERTAâ patent expired in 2004, the FDA has not approved any generic version that is substitutable for CONCERTAâ. Parties have filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) for generic versions of CONCERTAâ, which are pending and may be approved at any time.
LEVAQUIN® (levofloxacin)/FLOXINâ(ofloxacin), an anti-infective, experienced an operational decline of 17.2% as compared to the prior year fiscal second quarter primarily due to the decline in the market and increased penetration of generics.
ACIPHEXâ/PARIETâ, experienced an operational decline of 1.6% as compared to the fiscal second quarter of 2009 primarily due to generic competition in the U.S.
TOPAMAX® (topiramate), experienced an operational decline of 21.4% as compared to prior year fiscal second quarter. Market exclusivity for TOPAMAX® (topiramate) in the U.S. expired in March 2009 and multiple generics have entered the market. Loss of market exclusivity for the TOPAMAX® patent has resulted in a significant reduction in sales in the U.S. In 2009, full year U.S. sales of TOPAMAX® were $0.7 billion. U.S. sales of TOPAMAX® were $0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2009 and $0.2 billion for the remainder of the 2009 fiscal year.
In the fiscal second quarter of 2010, Other Pharmaceutical sales achieved operational growth of 6.8% over the prior year fiscal second quarter. Contributors to the increase were sales of VELCADEâ (bortezomib), SIMPONI® (golimumab), STELARA® (ustekinumab), PREZISTA® (darunavir), INTELENCE® (etravirine), NUCYNTA® (tapentadol) and INVEGA SUSTENNA® (paliperidone palmitate). The growth was partially offset by lower sales of DURAGESIC®/Fentanyl Transdermal (fentanyl transdermal system) and RISPERDALâ/risperidone due to continued generic competition.
Medical Devices and Diagnostics
Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment sales in the first fiscal six months of 2010 were $12.4 billion, an increase of 8.2% as compared to the same period a year ago, with 5.8% of this change due to operational increases and an increase of 2.4% related to the positive impact of currency. The U.S. Medical Devices and Diagnostics sales increase was 6.0% as compared to the prior year. International Medical Devices and Diagnostics sales increase of 10.2% included operational increases of 5.6% and an increase of 4.6% related to the positive impact of currency.

The DePuy franchise achieved operational growth of 3.5% over the same period a year ago. This was primarily due to growth in the hip and knee product lines. Pressure on pricing continued as a result of economic trends however new product launches have mitigated some of the impact.
The Ethicon Endo-Surgery franchise achieved operational growth of 6.6% over the prior year fiscal second quarter. This was attributable to growth in the Endoscopic, HARMONICä and Advanced Sterilization product lines.
The Ethicon franchise achieved operational growth of 8.2% over the prior year fiscal second quarter. Growth was driven by sutures, biosurgicals and Mentor products. Additionally, the acquisition of Acclarent this year contributed to the growth in the quarter.
The Vision Care franchise achieved operational sales growth of 2.6% over the prior year fiscal second quarter. Growth was primarily driven by 1-DAY ACUVUE® TruEyeTM, ACUVUE® OASYS™ for Astigmatism and 1-DAY ACUVUE® MOISTTM partially offset by lower sales of reusable lenses.
The Cordis franchise experienced an operational sales decline of 3.4% as compared to the fiscal second quarter of 2009. The decline was caused by lower sales of the CYPHER® Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent due to increased global competition. The decline

was partially offset by strong growth in the Biosense Webster business.
The Diabetes Care franchise achieved operational sales growth of 1.7% over the prior year fiscal second quarter. This was primarily attributable to base business growth in the U.S. and growth of the Animas business primarily outside the U.S.
The Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics franchise experienced an operational sales decline of 0.5% as compared to the fiscal second quarter of 2009. Growth of VITROS® 5600 and 3600 was offset by lower sales in donor screening.
Cost of Products Sold and Selling, Marketing and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated costs of products sold for the first fiscal six months of 2010 increased to 29.6% from 28.7% of sales in the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to unfavorable product mix attributable to the loss of market exclusivity for TOPAMAX® and the recall of certain OTC products. The cost of products sold for the fiscal second quarter of 2010 increased to 30.2% from 29.2% of sales as compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to the costs associated with the impact of the recall and remediation efforts in the Consumer business as well as the impact of price reductions in the Pharmaceutical and certain Medical Devices and Diagnostics businesses.
Consolidated selling, marketing and administrative expenses for the first fiscal six months of 2010 decreased to 30.8% from 31.1% of sales as compared to the same period a year ago. Consolidated selling, marketing and administrative expenses for the fiscal second quarter of 2010 decreased to 31.0% from 31.5% of sales as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease in both the fiscal second quarter and first fiscal six months was primarily due to cost containment initiatives principally resulting from the restructuring charge taken in 2009.
Research & Development
Research activities represent a significant part of the Company’s business. These expenditures relate to the development of new products, improvement of existing products, technical support of products and compliance with governmental regulations for the protection of the consumer. Worldwide costs of research activities for the first fiscal six months of 2009 were $3.2 billion, which was flat to the prior fiscal period. Worldwide costs of research activities for the fiscal second quarter of 2010 were $1.6 billion, which was flat to the prior fiscal period.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net is the account where the Company records gains and losses related to the sale and write-down of certain equity securities of the Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation, gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets, currency gains and losses, gains and losses relating to non-controlling interests, litigation settlements, as well as royalty income.

42


Table of Contents

The change in other (income) expense, net for the first fiscal six months of 2010 was favorable as compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to net gain of $1.5 billion from litigation matters recorded in the fiscal first quarter of 2010. The change in other (income) expense, net for the fiscal second quarter of 2010 was slightly unfavorable as compared to the same period a year ago. In the fiscal second quarter of 2010 the Company recorded $157 million expense related to litigation matters. The Company received a $270 million settlement payment from Medtronic AVE, Inc. during the fiscal second quarter of 2009 which was offset by several smaller litigation matters as well as asset write-downs and other charges.
OPERATING PROFIT BY SEGMENT

Consumer Segment
Operating profit for the Consumer segment as a percent to sales in the first fiscal six months of 2010 was 19.6% versus 19.8% for the same period a year ago. The primary driver of the decline in operating profit for the first fiscal six months of 2010 was due to lower sales, and costs associated with the recall of certain OTC products. In addition, 2009 included asset write-downs recorded in the fiscal second quarter of 2009. Operating profit for the Consumer segment as a percent to sales in the fiscal second quarter of 2010 was 18.3% versus 18.0% for the same period a year ago. The decline in the operating profit margins for the fiscal second quarters versus the fiscal six months was due to costs associated with the recall of certain OTC products and the suspension of production at McNeil Consumer Healthcare’s Fort Washington, Pennsylvania facility in the second quarter of 2010 and asset write-downs recorded in the fiscal second quarter of 2009.
Pharmaceutical Segment
Operating profit for the Pharmaceutical segment as a percent to sales in the first fiscal six months of 2010 was 34.0% versus 35.1% for the same period a year ago. The decreased operating profit for the fiscal six months of 2010 was primarily due to $0.2 billion of expense related to litigation matters, the impact of the newly enacted health care reform legislation and unfavorable product mix due to the loss of market exclusivity for TOPAMAX® in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease was partially offset by cost containment initiatives. Operating profit for the Pharmaceutical segment as a percent to sales in the fiscal second quarter of 2010 was 33.0% versus 30.9% for the same period a year ago. The primary driver of the improvement in the operating profit margin for the fiscal second quarter was lower manufacturing costs and benefits from cost improvement initiatives related to the restructuring charge in 2009 partially offset by $0.1 billion of expense related to litigation matters and the impact of the newly enacted health care reform legislation.
Medical Devices and Diagnostics Segment
Operating profit for the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment as a percent to sales in the first fiscal six months of 2010 was

43


Table of Contents

45.1% versus 33.9% for the same period a year ago. The primary driver of the improvement in the operating profit margin in the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment for the first fiscal six months was due to a $1.5 billion gain from net litigation matters recorded in 2010. Additionally, in the fiscal second quarter of 2009 the Company received a $270 million settlement payment from Medtronic AVE, Inc., which was partially offset by asset write-downs and other charges. Operating profit for the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment as a percent to sales in the fiscal second quarter of 2010 was 30.6% versus 35.5% for the same period a year ago. The primary drivers of the decline in the operating profit margin for the fiscal second quarter was litigation expense of $42 million recorded in the second quarter of 2010 and a $270 million settlement payment from Medtronic AVE, Inc., which was partially offset by asset write-downs and other charges recorded in the fiscal second quarter of 2009.
Interest (Income) Expense
Interest income increased in both the first fiscal six months and fiscal second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period a year ago. The ending balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, was $18.9 billion at the end of the fiscal second quarter of 2010. This is an increase of $4.2 billion from the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to cash generated from operating activities and net cash proceeds from litigation matters.
Interest expense decreased slightly in the both the first fiscal six months and the fiscal second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period a year ago. At the end of the fiscal second quarter of 2010 the Company’s debt position was $11.7 billion compared to $13.6 billion from the same period a year ago. The reduction in current debt in the fiscal second quarter was primarily due to a reduction in Commercial Paper issued.
Provision for Taxes on Income
The worldwide effective income tax rates for the first fiscal six months of 2010 and 2009 were 24.0% and 24.6%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate was primarily due to a decline in taxable income in higher tax jurisdictions relative to taxable income in lower tax jurisdictions partially offset by the U.S. Research and Development tax credit which was not in effect for the first fiscal six months of 2010. In the second quarter of 2010 the Company received a favorable tax ruling related to a litigation settlement which reduced the tax rate previously recorded in the first quarter of 2010.
As of July 4, 2010 the Company had approximately $2.5 billion of liabilities from unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly during the next twelve months.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010 for more detailed information regarding unrecognized tax benefits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were $12.7 billion at the end of the fiscal second quarter of 2010 as compared with $15.8 billion at the fiscal year end of 2009. The primary uses of cash that contributed to the $3.1 billion decrease were $4.6 billion net cash used by investing activities, primarily the purchase of short-term marketable securities and $5.9 billion used by financing activities partially offset by $7.5 billion generated from operating activities.
Cash flow from operations of $7.5 billion was the result of $8.0 billion of net earnings and $2.3 billion of non cash charges related to depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation and deferred tax provision partially offset by $2.8 billion related to changes in assets and liabilities including a receivable of $0.7 billion from a litigation settlement, net of effects from acquisitions.
Investing activities use of $4.6 billion cash related to net investments in marketable securities of $2.9 billion, acquisitions of $0.9 billion and $0.9 billion for additions to property, plant and equipment, reduced by $0.1 billion of proceeds from asset sales.
The use of $5.9 billion in financing activities was primarily for dividends to shareholders of $2.8 billion, $2.7 billion net retirement of short and long-term debt and a net of $0.4 billion for repurchase of common stock net of proceeds from stock options exercised.
In the fiscal second quarter of 2010 the Company continued to have access to liquidity through the commercial paper market. The Company anticipates that operating cash flows, existing credit facilities and access to the commercial paper markets will continue to provide sufficient resources to fund operating needs however the Company monitors the global capital markets on an ongoing basis and from time to time may raise capital when market conditions are favorable.
Dividends
On April 22, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.540 per share, payable on June 15, 2010 to shareholders of record as of June 1, 2010. This represented an increase of 10.2% in the quarterly dividend rate and was the 48th consecutive year of cash dividend increases.
On July 19, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.540 per share, payable on September 14, 2010 to shareholders of record as of August 31, 2010. The Company expects to continue the practice of paying regular quarterly cash dividends.

New Accounting Standards

45


Table of Contents

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance and amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, which the Company adopted in the fiscal first quarter of 2010. The guidance also (a) provides principles and application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (b) requires an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price; and(c) eliminates the use of the residual method and requires an entity to allocate the revenue using the relative selling price method. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position however it will expand the disclosures for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.
During the fiscal first quarter of 2010 the Company adopted the FASB standard related to variable interest entities. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
During the fiscal first quarter of 2010 the Company adopted the new accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance requires the Company to disclose the amount of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 inputs and the reasons for these transfers as well as the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the guidance clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
During the fiscal second quarter of 2010 the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to revenue recognition under the milestone method. The objective of the accounting standard update is to provide guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. This update is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Economic and Market Factors
Johnson & Johnson is aware that its products are used in an environment where, for more than a decade, policymakers, consumers and businesses have expressed concern about the rising cost of health care. Johnson & Johnson has a long-standing policy of pricing products responsibly. For the period 1999 through 2009 in the United States, the weighted average compound annual growth rate of Johnson & Johnson price increases for health care products (prescription and over-the-counter drugs, hospital and

46


Table of Contents

professional products) was below the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The Company operates in certain countries where the economic conditions continue to present significant challenges. The Company continues to monitor these situations and take appropriate actions. Inflation rates continue to have an effect on worldwide economies and, consequently, on the way companies operate. In the face of increasing costs, the Company strives to maintain its profit margins through cost reduction programs, productivity improvements and periodic price increases. The Company faces various worldwide health care changes that may continue to result in pricing pressures that include health care cost containment and government legislation relating to sales, promotions and reimbursement.
Changes in the behavior and spending patterns of consumers of health care products and services, including delaying medical procedures, rationing prescription medications, reducing the frequency of physician visits and foregoing health care insurance coverage, as a result of a prolonged global economic downturn will continue to impact the Company’s businesses.
The Company also operates in an environment increasingly hostile to intellectual property rights. Generic drug firms have filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications seeking to market generic forms of most of the Company’s key pharmaceutical products, prior to expiration of the applicable patents covering those products. In the event the Company is not successful in defending a lawsuit resulting from an Abbreviated New Drug Application filing, the generic firms will then introduce generic versions of the product at issue, resulting in very substantial market share and revenue losses. For further information see the discussion on “Litigation Against Filers of Abbreviated New Drug Applications” included in Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited)- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11.
