BUSINESS GENERAL Johnson & Johnson, employing approximately 90,500 people worldwide, is engaged in the manufacture and sale of a broad range of products in the health care field in many countries of the world. Johnson & Johnson's primary interest, both historically and currently, has been in products related to health and well-being. Johnson & Johnson was organized in the State of New Jersey in 1887. Johnson & Johnson is organized on the principles of decentralized management. The Executive Committee of Johnson & Johnson is the principal management group responsible for the operations of Johnson & Johnson. In addition, three Executive Committee members are Chairmen of Group Operating Committees, which are comprised of managers who represent key operations within the group, as well as management expertise in other specialized functions. These Committees oversee and coordinate the activities of domestic and international companies related to each of the Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Professional businesses. Operating management of each company is headed by a Chairman, President, General Manager or Managing Director who reports directly to or through a Company Group Chairman. In line with this policy of decentralization, each international subsidiary is, with some exceptions, managed by citizens of the country where it is located. SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS; GEOGRAPHIC AREAS Johnson & Johnson's worldwide business is divided into three segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Professional. Johnson & Johnson further categorizes its sales and operating profit by major geographic areas of the world. The narrative and tabular (but not the graphic) descriptions of segments and geographic categories captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition -- Segments of Business, Consumer, Pharmaceutical, Professional and Geographic Areas" on pages 29 through 31 and 44 of Johnson & Johnson's Annual Report to Shareowners for fiscal year 1997 are incorporated herein by reference thereto. CONSUMER The Consumer segment's principal products are personal care and hygienic products, including oral and baby care products, first aid products, nonprescription drugs, sanitary protection products and adult skin and hair care products. Major brands include ACT Fluoride Rinse; BAND-AID Brand Adhesive Bandages; CAREFREE Panty Shields; JOHNSON'S CLEAN & CLEAR Skin Care Products; IMODIUM A-D, an antidiarrheal; JOHNSON'S Baby line of products; JOHNSON'S pH 5.5 skin and hair care products; MONISTAT, a remedy for vaginal yeast infections; MYLANTA gastrointestinal products and PEPCID AC Acid Controller from Johnson & Johnson - Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co.; NEUTROGENA skin and hair care products; NICOTROL smoking cessation products; 'o.b.' Tampons; PENATEN and NATUSAN baby care products; PIZ BUIN and SUNDOWN sun care products; REACH toothbrushes; RoC skin care products; SHOWER TO SHOWER personal care products; STAYFREE and SURE & NATURAL sanitary protection products; and the broad family of TYLENOL acetaminophen products. These products are marketed principally to the general public and distributed both to wholesalers and directly to independent and chain retail outlets. PHARMACEUTICAL The Pharmaceutical segment's principal worldwide franchises are in the allergy, antibacterial, antifungal, antianemia, central nervous system, contraceptive, dermatology, gastrointestinal, and pain management fields. These products are distributed both directly and through wholesalers for use by health care professionals and the general public. Prescription drugs include DURAGESIC, a transdermal patch for chronic pain; EPREX (sold in the U.S. under the trademark PROCRIT), a biotechnology derived version of the human hormone erythropoietin, which stimulates red blood cell production; ERGAMISOL, a colon cancer drug; FLOXIN 4 and LEVAQUIN, both antibacterials; HISMANAL, the once-a-day less sedating antihistamine; IMODIUM, an antidiarrheal; LEUSTATIN, for hairy cell leukemia; MOTILIUM, a gastrointestinal mobilizer; NIZORAL, SPORANOX and TERAZOL, antifungals; ORTHOCLONE OKT-3, for reversing the rejection of kidney, heart and liver transplants; ORTHO-NOVUM group of oral contraceptives; PREPULSID (sold in the U.S. under the trademark PROPULSID), a gastrointestinal prokinetic; RETIN-A, a dermatological cream for acne; RENOVA, a dermatological cream for photo aging; RISPERDAL, an antipsychotic drug; and ULTRAM, a centrally acting prescription analgesic for moderate to moderately severe pain. PROFESSIONAL The Professional segment includes suture and mechanical wound closure products, minimally invasive surgical instruments, diagnostic products, cardiology products, medical equipment and devices, disposable contact lenses, surgical instruments, joint replacements and products for wound management and infection prevention. These products are used principally in the professional fields by physicians, nurses, therapists, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories and clinics. Distribution to these markets is done both directly and through surgical supply and other dealers. INTERNATIONAL The international business of Johnson & Johnson is conducted by subsidiaries manufacturing in 35 countries outside the United States and selling in over 175 countries throughout the world. The products made and sold in the international business include many of those described above under "Business -- Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Professional." However, the principal markets, products and methods of distribution in the international business vary with the country and the culture. The products sold in the international business include not only those which were developed in the United States but also those which were developed by subsidiaries abroad. Investments and activities in some countries outside the United States are subject to higher risks than comparable domestic activities because the investment and commercial climate is influenced by restrictive economic policies and political uncertainties. RAW MATERIALS Raw materials essential to Johnson & Johnson's business are generally readily available from multiple sources. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS Johnson & Johnson has made a practice of obtaining patent protection on its products and processes where possible. Johnson & Johnson owns or is licensed under a number of patents relating to its products and manufacturing processes, which in the aggregate are believed to be of material importance in the operation of its business. However, it is believed that no single patent or related group of patents is material in relation to Johnson & Johnson as a whole. Johnson & Johnson has made a practice of selling its products under trademarks and of obtaining protection for these trademarks by all available means. Johnson & Johnson's trademarks are protected by registration in the United States and other countries where its products are marketed. Johnson & Johnson considers these trademarks in the aggregate to be of material importance in the operation of its business. SEASONALITY Worldwide sales do not reflect any significant degree of seasonality; however spending has been heavier in the fourth quarter of each year than in other quarters. This reflects increased spending decisions, principally for advertising and research grants. 2 5 COMPETITION In all its product lines, Johnson & Johnson companies compete with companies both large and small, located in the United States and abroad. Competition is strong in all lines without regard to the number and size of the competing companies involved. Competition in research, involving the development of new products and processes and the improvement of existing products and processes, is particularly significant and results from time to time in product and process obsolescence. The development of new and improved products is important to Johnson & Johnson's success in all areas of its business. This competitive environment requires substantial investments in continuing research and in multiple sales forces. In addition, the winning and retention of customer acceptance of Johnson & Johnson's consumer products involve heavy expenditures for advertising, promotion and selling. RESEARCH Research activities are important to all segments of Johnson & Johnson's business. Major research facilities are located not only in the United States but also in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The costs of Johnson & Johnson's worldwide research activities relating to the development of new products, the improvement of existing products, technical support of products and compliance with governmental regulations for the protection of the consumer amounted to $2,140, $1,905 and $1,634 million for fiscal years 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. These costs are charged directly to income in the year in which incurred. All research was sponsored by Johnson & Johnson. ENVIRONMENT During the past year Johnson & Johnson was subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental protection measures. Johnson & Johnson believes that its operations comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Johnson & Johnson's compliance with these requirements did not and is not expected to have a material effect upon its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. REGULATION Most of Johnson & Johnson's business is subject to varying degrees of governmental regulation in the countries in which operations are conducted, and the general trend is toward regulation of increasing stringency. In the United States, the drug, device, diagnostics and cosmetic industries have long been subject to regulation by various federal, state and local agencies, primarily as to product safety, efficacy, advertising and labeling. The exercise of broad regulatory powers by the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") continues to result in increases in the amounts of testing and documentation required for FDA clearance of new drugs and devices and a corresponding increase in the expense of product introduction. Similar trends toward product and process regulation are also evident in a number of major countries outside of the United States, especially in the European Economic Community where efforts are continuing to harmonize the internal regulatory systems. The costs of human health care have been and continue to be a subject of study, investigation and regulation by governmental agencies and legislative bodies in the United States and other countries. In the United States, attention has been focused on drug prices and profits and programs that encourage doctors to write prescriptions for particular drugs or recommend particular medical devices. Even in the absence of new government regulation, managed care has become a more potent force in the market place and it is likely that increased attention will be paid to drug pricing, appropriate drug utilization and the quality of health care. The regulatory agencies under whose purview Johnson & Johnson operates have administrative powers that may subject Johnson & Johnson to such actions as product recalls, seizure of products and other civil and criminal sanctions. In some cases Johnson & Johnson may deem it advisable to initiate product recalls voluntarily. 3 6 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Johnson & Johnson and its worldwide subsidiaries operate 171 manufacturing facilities occupying approximately 17.0 million square feet of floor space. The manufacturing facilities are used by the industry segments of Johnson & Johnson's business approximately as follows:
SQUARE FEET SEGMENT (IN THOUSANDS) ------- -------------- Consumer.................................................... 5,860 Pharmaceutical.............................................. 4,131 Professional................................................ 6,980 ------ Worldwide total................................... 16,971 ======
Within the United States, 10 facilities are used by the Consumer segment, 9 by the Pharmaceutical segment and 48 by the Professional segment. Johnson & Johnson's manufacturing operations outside the United States are often conducted in facilities which serve more than one segment of the business. The locations of the manufacturing facilities by major geographic areas of the world are as follows:
NUMBER OF SQUARE FEET GEOGRAPHIC AREA FACILITIES (IN THOUSANDS) --------------- ---------- -------------- United States............................................... 67 7,562 Europe...................................................... 44 4,612 Western Hemisphere excluding U.S.A.......................... 21 2,350 Africa, Asia and Pacific.................................... 39 2,447 --- ------ Worldwide total................................... 171 16,971 === ======
In addition to the manufacturing facilities discussed above, Johnson & Johnson maintains numerous office and warehouse facilities throughout the world. Research facilities are also discussed under "Business -- Research." Johnson & Johnson generally seeks to own its manufacturing facilities, although some, principally in locations abroad, are leased. Office and warehouse facilities are often leased. Johnson & Johnson's properties are maintained in good operating condition and repair and are well utilized. For information regarding lease obligations see Note 9 "Rental Expense and Lease Commitments" under "Johnson & Johnson and Subsidiaries -- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" on page 37 of Johnson & Johnson's Annual Report to Shareowners for fiscal year 1997. Segment information on additions to Johnson & Johnson's property, plant and equipment is contained on page 44 of Johnson & Johnson's Annual Report to Shareowners for fiscal year 1997. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The information set forth in Note 18 "Pending Legal Proceedings" under "Johnson & Johnson and Subsidiaries -- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" on page 42 of Johnson & Johnson's Annual Report to Shareowners for fiscal year 1997 is incorporated herein by reference. The Company or its subsidiaries are parties to a number of proceedings brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, commonly known as Superfund, and comparable state laws in which the primary relief sought is the cost of past and future remediation. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in the opinion of the Company, such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company. 4 7 ITEM 4.

In the management and control of the property, business, and affairs of the Corporation, the Board is hereby vested with all powers possessed by the Corporation itself insofar as this delegation of authority is not inconsistent with or repugnant to the laws of the State of New Jersey, the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws or any amendments of them. The Board shall have discretionary power to determine what constitutes net earnings, profits, and surplus, what amount shall be reserved for working capital and for any other purposes, and what amount shall be declared as dividends. Such determinations by the Board shall be final and conclusive. Section 2. Specific Powers (A) Power to Make and Amend By-Laws. Subject to the limitations contained in Article X hereof, the Board of Directors shall have power to make, alter, amend, and repeal any By-Law, including a By-Law designating the number of directors, provided that the Board shall not make, alter, amend, or repeal any By-Law designating the qualification or term of office of any member or members of the then existing Board. -4- 6 (B) Power to Elect Officers. The Board of Directors shall elect all officers of the Corporation. (C) Power to Remove Officers.

In such case, two members shall constitute a quorum. If, as a result of such circumstances, a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot readily be convened to act, but a quorum of the Finance Committee can be so convened, the Finance Committee shall automatically become the Emergency Management Committee. All of the powers and duties vested in the Board of Directors, except the power to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors, shall vest automatically in the Emergency Management Committee. Other provisions of these By-Laws notwithstanding, the Emergency Management Committee (l) shall call a meeting of the Board of Directors as soon as circumstances permit for the purpose of filling vacancies on the Board of Directors and its committees and to take such other action as may be appropriate, and (2) if the Emergency Management Committee determines that less than a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are available for service, the Committee shall issue a call for a special meeting of stockholders to be held at the earliest date practicable for the election of directors.

ALLOTMENT OF SHARES A maximum of 56,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock of the Company (par value $1.00) will be allotted to the Plan, subject to the required approval by the stockholders. The total number of shares which may be awarded under the Plan to any optionee in any one year shall not exceed 5% of the total shares allotted to the Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, use Treasury shares in lieu of authorized but unissued shares for the options. To the extent this is done, the number of authorized but unissued shares to be used for the Plan will be reduced. Shares covered by options which lapse or have been terminated during the duration of this Plan may be reallocated by the Committee. 5. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN The Plan shall become effective on April 27, 1995. No option shall be granted pursuant to this Plan later than April 26, 2000, but options theretofore granted may extend beyond that date in accordance with their terms. 6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS A. All Options The following shall apply to all options granted under the Plan: (i) Option Price The option price per share for each stock option shall be determined by the Committee and shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. The fair market value shall be determined as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code and Regulations. (ii) Time of Exercise of Option The Committee shall establish the time or times within the option period when the stock option may be exercised in whole or in such parts as may be specified from time to time by the Committee. With respect to an optionee whose employment has terminated by reason of death, disability or retirement, the Committee may in its discretion accelerate the time or times when any particular stock option held by said optionee may be so exercised so that such time or times are earlier than those originally provided in said option. In all cases exercise of a stock option shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6B(ii) or 6C(iii), as the case may be. The Committee shall determine, either at the time of grant or later whether, and to what extent and under what circumstances, the transfer of shares issuable in connection with the exercise of a non-qualified option may be deferred at the election of the optionee. (iii) Payment The entire option price may be paid at the time the option is exercised. When an option is exercised prior to termination of employment, the Committee shall have the discretion to arrange for the payment of such price, in whole or in part, in installments. In such cases, the Committee shall obtain such evidence of the optionee's obligation, establish such interest rate and require such security as it may deem appropriate for the adequate protection of the Company. (iv) Non-Transferability of Option Unless otherwise specified by the Committee to the contrary, an option by its terms shall not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and 2 3 shall be exercisable during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee. The Committee may, in the manner established by the Committee, provide for the transfer, without payment of consideration, of a non-qualified option by an optionee to a member of the optionee's immediate family or to a trust or partnership whose beneficiaries are members of the optionee's immediate family. In such case, the option shall be exercisable only by such transferee. For purposes of this provision, an optionee's "immediate family" shall mean the holder's spouse, children and grandchildren. (v) Adjustment in Event of Recapitalization of the Company In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Board of Directors shall make such adjustment as it may deem equitably required in the number and kind of shares authorized by and for the Plan, in the number and kind of shares covered by the options granted, in the number of shares which may be awarded to an optionee in any one year, and in the option price. B. Non-Qualified Stock Options The Committee may, in its discretion, grant options under the Plan which, in whole or in part, do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6A above, the following terms and conditions shall govern any option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it does not so qualify. (i) Form of Payment Payment of the option price of any option (or portion thereof) not qualifying as an incentive stock option shall be made in cash or, in the discretion of the Committee, in the Common Stock of the Company valued at its fair market value (as the same shall be determined by the Committee), or a combination of such Common Stock and cash. (ii) Rights after Termination of Employment In the event of termination of employment due to any cause including death, disability or retirement, rights to exercise the stock option shall cease, except for those which have accrued to the date of termination, unless the Committee shall otherwise specify. These rights shall remain exercisable for a period of three months, or such longer period (not to exceed three years) as the Committee shall provide, following termination for any cause other than death, disability or retirement and for a period of three years following termination due to death, disability or retirement, unless the Committee otherwise specifies. The Committee may, in its discretion, extend the period within which any particular option may be exercised beyond the expiration date originally provided in said option. However, no stock option shall, in any event, be exercised after the expiration of the full term of the option. (iii) Period of Option The exercise period of each non-qualified stock option shall be specified by the Committee at the time of grant. C. Incentive Stock Options The Committee may, in its discretion, grant options under the Plan which qualify in whole or in part as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition to the terms and 3 4 conditions set forth in Section 6A above, the following terms and conditions shall govern any option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it so qualifies: (i) Maximum Fair Market Value of Incentive Stock Options The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time such option is granted) of the Common Stock for which any optionee may have stock options which first became vested in any calendar year (under all incentive stock option plans of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed $100,000. (ii) Form of Payment Payment of the option price for incentive stock options shall be made in cash or in the Common Stock of the Company valued at its fair market value (as the same shall be determined by the Committee), or a combination of such Common Stock and cash. Where payment of the option price is to be made with Common Stock acquired under a Company compensation plan (within the meaning of paragraph 11(g) of Opinion No. 25 of the Accounting Principles Board), such Common Stock will not be accepted as payment unless the optionee has beneficially owned such Common Stock for at least six months (increased to one year if such Common Stock was acquired under an incentive stock option) prior to such payment. (iii) Rights after Termination of Employment In the event of termination of employment due to any cause including death, disability or retirement, rights to exercise the stock option shall cease, except for those which have accrued to the date of termination, unless the Committee shall otherwise specify. These rights shall remain exercisable for a period of three months, or such longer period (not to exceed three years) as the Committee shall provide, following termination for any cause other than death, disability or retirement and for a period of three years following termination due to death, disability or retirement, unless the Committee otherwise specifies. However, no incentive stock option shall, in any event, be exercised after the expiration of 10 years from the date such option is granted, or such earlier date as may be specified in the option. (iv) Period of Option The exercise period of each incentive stock option by its terms shall not be more than 10 years from the date the option is granted as specified by the Committee. 4 EX-10.C 4 1991 STOCK OPTION PLAN 1 EXHIBIT 10(c) JOHNSON & JOHNSON 1991 STOCK OPTION PLAN (AS AMENDED DECEMBER 4, 1997) 1.

ADMINISTRATION. This Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Committee shall have responsibility for determining which investments will from time to time be available under the Plan and shall review the investment options at least once every three years. The Committee shall make all decisions affecting the timing, price or amount of any and all of the Deferred Awards (as hereinafter defined) of participants subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, but may otherwise delegate any of its authority under this Plan. 2. ELIGIBILITY. Eligibility to defer under this Plan will be initially limited to members of the Executive Committee of the Company. The Committee may from time to time expand eligibility to defer compensation under this Plan to other executives of the Company. The Committee, however, has the authority to refuse to permit an participant to participate in this Plan or elect to defer payments, if the Committee determines that such participation would jeopardize the Plan's compliance with applicable law or the Plan's status as a top hat plan under ERISA. 3. DEFERRAL INTO AN INCOME DEFERRAL ACCOUNT. participants may elect to defer up to (i) fifty percent (50%) of annual salary, (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of cash and/or stock awards under the Company's Executive Incentive Plan, (iii) one hundred percent (100%) of dividend equivalents paid under the Company's Certificate of Extra Compensation ("CEC") Plan and (iv) one hundred percent (100%) of dividend equivalents paid on "gain" shares deferred under the Company's Stock Option Plans. Amounts so deferred are known as "Deferred Awards" and will be credited to a participant's "Income Deferral Account". A participant's decision to defer under the Plan must be made on or before September 30 of the year prior to the commencement of the fiscal year as to which the compensation, incentive payment or dividend equivalent monies to be deferred will be earned. At the Plan's inception, amounts otherwise payable in 1997 (regardless of the year in which earned) may be deferred under this Plan by elections made on or before December 15, 1996. Any election to 2 2 defer pursuant to this Section 3 shall be effective only when timely filed with Extra Compensation Services on the form utilized for such purpose. Notwithstanding the above, the required notice period for elections made in respect of amounts to be deferred under (iv) above shall be governed by the notice and election provisions applicable to any such Stock Option Plan. A participant shall designate, in multiples of 1% of the Deferred Award, the portion to be allocated to each investment option available under this Plan. A participant may change the investment options for Deferred Awards not yet credited to his/her Income Deferred Account not more than once each month, such change to be effective as of the first day of the month following the month in which a participant's request to change such allocation is received by Extra Compensation Services. Any elections to defer dividend equivalents under the Company's CEC Plan will be applied such that elections will apply to the CEC contracts in the reverse order of their issuance. Deferred Awards shall be held in one account regardless of the form of compensation or plan under which they were earned. Upon ceasing to be an employee of the Company, each participant (or in the event of a participant's death, the named beneficiary or his/her estate) shall be entitled to receive in cash in lump sum the value of his/her Income Deferral Account as of the date of such termination, unless such participant has elected, pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 below, to further defer payment of his/her Income Deferral Account beyond retirement. Notwithstanding the above, if a participant is in any fiscal year a "named executive officer" for proxy statement reporting purposes by reason of his/her being the chief executive officer of the Company or one of the four highest compensated officers (other than the chief executive officer), any payment from an Income Deferral Account otherwise due to be made in such year shall be postponed to a date which is on or about the 15th day of January of the following fiscal year. 4. INVESTMENT OF INCOME DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS. At the election of each participant, amounts in an Income Deferral Account may be invested utilizing the options set forth below. Amounts to be deferred in any month (including any stock award) will be valued and credited to a participant's Income Deferral Account on the last day of each month. (a) Common Stock Equivalent Units. All amounts elected to be deferred under this option shall be converted into equivalent units of the Company's Common Stock ("Common Stock") as if the compensation deferred had been invested in Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalent Units"). The number of Common Stock Equivalent Units shall be determined by dividing the amount of compensation or dividend equivalents to be deferred by the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock as reported in the Wall Street Journal for the last trading day of each month. The Company shall credit the participant's Income Deferral Account with the number of full and partial shares of the Company's Common Stock so determined. However, at no time shall any shares be purchased or earmarked for such Account and 3 3 the participant shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to shares credited to his/her Income Deferral Account. The number of Common Stock Equivalent Units included in a participant's Account shall be adjusted to reflect dividends and increases or decreases in market value which would have resulted had funds equal to such deferred amount been invested in Common Stock. In the event of a reorganization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company the Committee shall make such adjustment, if any, as it may deem appropriate in the number and kind of shares of the Company's Common Stock credited to participants' Income Deferral Accounts. (b) Balanced Fund. All amounts elected to be deferred under this option shall be deemed to be invested in and credited with the investment rate of return earned under the Balanced Fund option under the Company's Savings Plan or any such successor fund. However, no Balanced Fund shares shall be purchased or earmarked for a participant's Account. (c) One Year Treasury Bill Rate. All amounts elected to be deferred under this option shall be deemed to be invested in an interest bearing account which bears interest at the One Year Treasury Bill Rate, compounded monthly. For purposes of the Plan, the One Year Treasury Bill Rate shall be the interest rate for One Year Treasury Bills quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the last trading day of the preceding calendar year. Such rate shall be adjusted annually. No Treasury Bills will be actually purchased or earmarked for a participant's Account. 5. REDESIGNATION OF INVESTMENT OPTIONS WITHIN AN INCOME DEFERRAL ACCOUNT. A participant may redesignate amounts previously credited to an Income Deferral Account among the investments available under this Plan. Participants who wish to redesignate out of a particular investment vehicle may not at the same time redesignate into such investment vehicle. No redesignation of investment may take place during the 30 days prior to a scheduled distribution under this Plan. The following additional rules shall apply with respect to redesignations of previously credited amounts: (a) Permitted Frequency--Redesignation by a participant may be made not more than once during any consecutive twelve month period. (b) Amount and Extent of Redesignation--Redesignation for any participant must be in 1% multiples of the investment from which redesignation is being made. (c) Timing--Redesignation shall take place as of the first day of the month following the month in which a participant's written redesignation is received by Extra Compensation Services. The value of the Company's Common Stock for purposes of investment redesignation shall be the average of the high and low prices of the 4 4 Common Stock as reported in the Wall Street Journal for the last trading day of the applicable month. (d) Special rules for Redesignation Into or Out of Common Stock Equivalent Units previously credited to an Income Deferred Account: (i) Material, Nonpublic Information--The Committee in its sole discretion and with advice of counsel at any time may rescind a redesignation into or out of Common Stock Equivalent Units if such redesignation was made by a participant who, a) at the time of the redesignation was in the possession of material, nonpublic information with respect to the Company; and b) in the Committee's estimation benefited from such information in the timing of his/her redesignation. The Committee's determination shall be final and binding. In the event of such rescission, the participant's Income Deferral Account shall be returned to a status as though such redesignation had not occurred. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee shall not rescind a redesignation if the facts were reviewed by the participant with the General Counsel of the Company or a designee prior to the redesignation and if the General Counsel or designee had concluded that such participant was not in possession of material, nonpublic information. (ii) A participant subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may redesignate into or out of Common Stock Equivalent Units only during the applicable "window period" with respect to the release of any quarterly or annual statements of sales and earnings by the Company. (iii) A redesignation into or out of Common Stock Equivalent Units may not be made within 6 months of a discretionary "opposite way transaction" into or out of Common Stock held by the participant in the Company's Savings Plan. 6. DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS. If a participant's employment is terminated for any reason (including death or disability), and such participant is not eligible to retire from active service under the Company's pension plan, then his/her Income Deferral Account will be automatically paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible in the month following his/her termination of employment. Distributions in cash of the value of equivalent shares of the Company's Common Stock will be valued at the average of high and low market prices of the Common Stock as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the last trading day of the month of his/her termination of employment. 7. POST RETIREMENT DEFERRALS. At the further election of each participant, to be made as provided for below, the payment of any sum otherwise due to a participant upon his/her retirement may be further deferred and paid in either a single lump sum or in installments. A lump sum payment may be deferred for up to ten taxable years following 5 5 the participant's retirement date. If installment payments are elected, the first installment payment may be made immediately upon retirement or be deferred for up to ten taxable years. Installment payments will be made annually (in the manner described below) and in approximately equal installment amounts (i.e., the value of the balance of the Income Deferral Account, plus accrued interest, divided by the number of remaining installments). The minimum number of annual installments is two (2) and the maximum number is fifteen (15). An participant may elect to defer up to 100% of the value of his/her total Income Deferral Account at retirement; or, any percentage increment less than that. The payment of any amounts from an Income Deferral Account pursuant to this Section 7 shall be subject to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 3 above. The following additional rules shall apply with respect to all payments: a) Immediate Lump Sum Payment - The participant will receive the full value of his/her Income Deferral Account in the calendar month of his/her retirement effective date. b) Deferred Lump Sum Payment - The participant will receive the full value of his/her Income Deferral Account, plus any accrued interest, on or about January 15 of the year he/she elects to receive payment in. c) Immediate Commencement of Installments - The participant will receive the first installment in the calendar month of his/her retirement effective date, subject to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 3 above. All subsequent installments, plus any accrued interest, will be paid on or about January 15 of each year. d) Deferred Commencement of Installments - The participant will receive the first and all subsequent installments, plus any accrued interest, on or about January 15 of each year. With respect to any amounts which are deferred and/or paid in installments, interest shall be paid by the Employer from the effective date of retirement to the date of any such payment. The interest rate for all deferred and/or installment payments to a participant shall be fixed at the date of retirement and shall be the rate (rounded to 1 decimal place) offered, as reported in the Wall Street Journal on the effective retirement date, on a United States Treasury Instrument for the period comparable to the length of the period of the deferral and/or installment payments. The interest shall be compounded semi-annually on the last calendar day of June and December of each year. If more than one instrument is quoted, the average of such rates shall be utilized. By way of example, if an election is made to receive installments over eight (8) years, the comparable eight (8) year U.S. Treasury Rate shall be utilized; if an election is made to defer the commencement of installments for two (2) years with installments paid out over ten (10) years, the comparable twelve (12) year U.S. Treasury Rate shall be utilized. Once established, the interest rate shall remain fixed for the period of the deferral and/or installments. In the event of death of a participant following retirement, the Employer will make payment in full of the balance of his/her Income Deferral Account, plus any accrued 6 6 interest, as soon as administratively practical in a single lump sum payment to the designated beneficiary, subject to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 3 above. In the event no deferral or installment election is made under this Section 7, the total amount of the Income Deferral Account will be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 in a lump sum payment as soon as practical following an participant's retirement effective date. An election by a participant to defer payment or elect installments of all or a part of his/her Account beyond his/her effective retirement date must be made a minimum of twelve (12) months prior to the date of such retirement date. Any such election may be revised or revoked up to twelve (12) months prior to such retirement date. For the twelve month period prior to such retirement date, any election is irrevocable and thus may not be revoked or otherwise revised. Notwithstanding the above, at the Plan's inception, an exception has been made for participants who have a retirement effective date between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 1997. For participants having a retirement effective date prior to June 30, 1997, the deferral and/or installment election must be made a minimum of three (3) months and in the calendar year prior to the retirement date. For such participants having a retirement date between July 1, 1997 and December 31, 1997, such election must be made at least six (6) months prior to the retirement date. For example, a participant who retires on April 1, 1997, must make the deferral and/or installment election no later than December 31, 1996; if the retirement date is August 1, 1997, such election must be made not later than January 31, 1997. Any such election to defer and/or receive installment payments may only be revised or revoked prior to the last permissible date for making such election. After such time the election may not be revoked or otherwise revised. An election to defer payment and/or be paid in installments is effective only when timely filed with Extra Compensation Services on the form utilized for such purpose. Any election made after the required deadline shall be disregarded. 8. DEDUCTIONS FROM DISTRIBUTIONS. The Company will deduct from each distribution amounts required to be withheld for income, Social Security and other tax purposes. The Company may also deduct any amounts the participant owes the Company for any reason. 9. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS. A participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive the value of his/her Income Deferral Account upon death. Should a beneficiary predecease the participant, or should a beneficiary not be named, the amount designated for such beneficiary or the participant's balance, as the case may be, will be distributed to the participant's Estate. Beneficiary designations may be made or revised at any time by submitting a Beneficiary Designation Form to Extra Compensation Services. 7 7 10. AMENDMENTS. The Committee may amend this Plan at any time. However, such amendment shall not without the consent of a participant, materially adversely affect any right or obligation with respect to any Deferred Award made theretofore. 11. MISCELLANEOUS. The Employer does not fund the obligations created by the participant's participation in the Plan. Rather, the Employer makes an unsecured promise to pay these obligations out of general corporate assets. This applies to obligations for both active and retired participants. In the first quarter of each calendar year, statements will be sent to active participants participating in this Plan as well as to retirees with Deferral Accounts. The statement will also include previously made deferral elections and beneficiary designations. The report for retirees will provide the deferred payout balance plus interest, as well as the deferred and/or installment election and beneficiary designations. This Plan is administered by the Extra Compensation Services Department at the Corporate Headquarters of Employer. Questions in regard to the administration of the Plan should be addressed to it. AN ELECTION TO DEFER AND/OR BE PAID IN INSTALLMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE MADE IN CONSULTATION WITH AN PARTICIPANT'S TAX AND/OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR.

The ratio is computed by dividing the sum of earnings before provision for taxes and fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest) by fixed charges. Fixed charges represent interest (including capitalized interest) and amortization of debt discount and expense and the interest factor of all rentals, consisting of an appropriate interest factor on operating leases. 17 EX-13 9 PAGES 26-45 OF THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT 1 Contents 26 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results 32 Consolidated Financial Statements 35 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 43 Report of Management 43 Independent Auditor's Report 44 Segments of Business and Geographic Areas 45 Summary of Operations and Statistical Data 1987-1997 Financials 25 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Overview Record sales of $22.63 billion reinforced the Company's position as the world's most comprehensive and broadly-based manufacturer of health care products. Sales increased by 4.7% over 1996, despite the impact of the stronger dollar which depressed sales growth by 4.0%. This marked the sixty-fifth consecutive year of positive sales growth. The Company also achieved record profitability as earnings grew to $3.3 billion, up 14.4% over 1996 and posted a record net income margin for 1997 of 14.6%. The solid performance of new products introduced over the past few years as well as cost efficiencies have enabled the Company to attain these record sales and profitability levels. The Company's investment in research and development continues to drive the growth in new products. During 1997, the Company invested $2.14 billion, or 9.5% of sales, in research and development, the highest level in the Company's history. This spending emphasizes the Company's commitment to achieving significant advances in health care through the discovery and development of innovative, knowledge based, cost effective products that prolong and enhance the quality of life. During 1997, the Company continued initiatives to streamline its businesses worldwide and to make the organization more cost efficient. The 1997 gross profit margin improved from 67.5% to 68.4%, while selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percent to sales continued to fall from 38.8% to 38.5%. Over the past two years, the improvement in gross margins and reduced operating expenses has resulted in cost savings of nearly $600 million on an annual basis. Earnings in 1997 generated $4.34 billion in cash from operations. When combined with $3.89 billion in cash generated from operations in 1996, this total of $8.23 billion in cash financed capital investments and all of the Company's cash requirements during the past two years. This enabled the Company to reduce net debt by $2.12 billion to a net cash position (cash and current marketable securities net of debt) of $1.06 billion. The worldwide health care market continues to be transformed as customers have become more knowledgeable and demand even greater value. Simultaneously, the market place has become increasingly more competitive. The Company believes that it is well positioned to meet these challenges by providing innovative and unique products through its commitment to research and development. Additionally, our organizational structure of decentralized management and dedicated employees along with our strong Credo values will enable us to provide our customers with innovative products and services that create value. Sales and Earnings In 1997, worldwide sales increased 4.7% to $22.63 billion compared to increases of 14.7% and 19.8% in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Excluding the impact of foreign currencies, worldwide sales increased 8.7%, 16.5%, and 16.7% in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Sales to Customers - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Millions of Dollars [Graphic Omitted] Worldwide net earnings for 1997 were $3.3 billion, reflecting a 14.4% increase over 1996. Worldwide basic net earnings per share for 1997 equaled $2.47, compared with $2.17 for 1996, adjusted to reflect the 1996 two-for-one stock split, an increase of 13.8%. Worldwide diluted net earnings per share were $2.41, compared with 1996 diluted net earnings per share of $2.12, adjusted to reflect the 1996 two-for-one stock split, an increase of 13.7%. The net income margin for 1997 was 14.6%, the highest in the Company's history. Worldwide net earnings for 1996 were $2.89 billion, or basic net earnings per share of $2.17 on a split-adjusted basis, representing increases over 1995 of 20.1% and 16.7%, respectively. Diluted net earnings per share were $2.12 for 1996 representing an increase of 16.5% over 1995. In 1995, worldwide net earnings were $2.4 billion, or basic net earnings per share of $1.86 on a split-adjusted basis, representing increases over 1994 of 19.8% and 19.2%, respectively. Diluted net earnings per share were $1.82 for 1995 representing an increase of 18.2% over 1994. Average shares of common stock outstanding in 1997 were 1.34 billion compared with 1.33 billion and 1.29 billion in 1996 and 1995, respectively, on a split-adjusted basis. Net Earnings - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Millions of Dollars [Graphic Omitted] Sales by domestic companies were $11.76, $10.9 and $9.19 billion in 1997, 1996 and 1995, representing increases of 7.9%, 18.6% and 17.6%, respectively. The increase in domestic sales in 1997 was driven by the strong performance of products introduced in the past few years and the continued expansion of base businesses. Sales by international companies were $10.87, $10.72 and $9.65 billion in 1997, 1996 and 1995, representing increases of 1.4%, 11.1% and 21.8%, respectively. Excluding the impact of the relative strength or weakness of the dollar over the past three years compared to international currencies, international company sales increased 9.5%, 14.6% and 15.6% in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 26 3 All geographic areas throughout the world posted strong operational gains during 1997. Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar on foreign currencies, sales increased 6.8% in Europe, 7.2% in the Western Hemisphere (excluding the U.S.) and 17.6% in the Asia-Pacific, Africa regions. The Company achieved an annual compound growth rate of 10.9% for worldwide sales for the ten-year period since 1987 with domestic and international sales growing at rates of 10.9% and 11.0%, respectively. For the same ten-year period, worldwide net earnings achieved an annual growth rate of 14.8%, while basic earnings per share grew at a rate of 15.2%. For the last five years, excluding the cumulative effects of accounting changes in 1992, annual compound growth rates for sales, net earnings and basic earnings per share were 10.5%, 15.2% and 14.9%, respectively. Common Stock Market Prices The Company's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol JNJ. The approximate number of shareowners of record at year-end 1997 was 156,800. The composite market price ranges for Johnson & Johnson common stock during 1997 and 1996, adjusted to reflect the 1996 two-for-one stock split, were:
1997 1996 ------------------------------------------------------ High Low High Low - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First quarter $62 3/4 48 5/8 50 1/4 41 5/8 Second quarter 66 7/8 51 1/8 50 3/4 42 7/8 Third quarter 65 7/8 55 1/8 53 3/8 44 1/8 Fourth quarter 67 5/16 52 5/8 54 47 1/8 Year-end close 64 7/8 50 1/2
Cash Dividends Paid The Company increased its dividends in 1997 for the thirty-fifth consecutive year. Cash dividends paid were $.85 per share in 1997 compared with split-adjusted dividends of $.735 and $.64 per share in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The dividends were distributed as follows:
1997 1996 1995 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First quarter $.19 .165 .145 Second quarter .22 .19 .165 Third quarter .22 .19 .165 Fourth quarter .22 .19 .165 ------------------------------------------ Total $.85 .735 .64 ==========================================
On January 2, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $.22 per share, paid on March 10, 1998 to shareowners of record on February 17, 1998. The Company expects to continue the practice of paying regular cash dividends. Costs and Expenses 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 were as follows:
(Millions of Dollars) 1997 1996 1995 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research expense $2,140 1,905 1,634 Percent increase over prior year 12.3% 16.6% 27.9% Percent of sales 9.5 8.8 8.7
Research expense as a percent of sales for the Pharmaceutical segment was 16.7%, 15.2% and 15.3% in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, while averaging 5.5%, 5.6% and 5.4% in the other two segments. Research Expense - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Millions of Dollars [Graphic Omitted] Advertising expenses worldwide, which are comprised of television, radio and print media, were $1.26 billion in 1997, $1.26 billion in 1996 and $1.03 billion in 1995. Additionally, significant expenditures were incurred for promotional activities such as couponing and performance allowances. The Company believes that its operations comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations. The Company or its subsidiaries are parties to a number of proceedings brought under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, commonly known as Superfund, and comparable state laws, in which the primary relief sought is the cost of past and future remediation. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in the opinion of the Company, such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company. Statement of Position No. 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities," requires that environmental remediation liabilities be accrued when the criteria of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," are met. The new standard that was adopted in 1997 has not had a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Worldwide sales do not reflect any significant degree of seasonality; however, spending has been heavier in the fourth quarter of each year than in other quarters. This reflects increased spending decisions, principally for advertising and research grants. The worldwide effective income tax rate was 27.8% in 1997, 28.4% in 1996 and 27.6% in 1995. The decrease in the 1997 worldwide effective tax rate was primarily due to a greater proportion of taxable income derived from lower tax rate countries. See page 37 for additional information. A summary of operations and related statistical data for the years 1987-1997 can be found on page 45. 27 4 Distribution of Sales Revenues The distribution of sales revenues for 1997, 1996 and 1995 were:
1997 1996 1995 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Employment costs 23.8% 24.4% 25.0% Cost of materials and services 50.8 51.8 52.3 Depreciation and amortization of property and intangibles 4.7 4.6 4.5 Taxes other than payroll 6.1 5.8 5.4 Earnings reinvested in business 9.6 8.9 8.4 Cash dividends paid 5.0 4.5 4.4
Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash generated from operations and selected borrowings provide the major sources of funds for the growth of the business, including working capital, additions to property, plant and equipment and acquisitions. Cash and current marketable securities totaled $2.9 billion at the end of 1997 as compared with $2.14 billion at the end of 1996. Total unused credit available to the Company approximates $3.2 billion, including $1.2 billion of credit commitments with various worldwide banks, $800 million of which expires on October 2, 1998 and $400 million on October 6, 2002. The Company issued no medium term notes or public long-term debt during 1997. At December 28, 1997, the Company had $2.29 billion remaining on its shelf registration of $2.59 billion. A summary of borrowings can be found on page 36. Total borrowings at the end of 1997 and 1996 were $1.84 billion and $2.28 billion, respectively. In 1997 net cash (cash and current marketable securities net of debt) was $1.06 billion. In 1996 net debt (debt net of cash and current marketable securities) was $146 million. Total debt represented 13.0% and 17.4% of total capital (shareowners' equity and total debt) in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Shareowners' equity per share at the end of 1997 was $9.19 compared with $8.13 at year-end 1996, an increase of 13.0%. Financial Instruments The Company uses financial instruments to manage the impact of interest rate and foreign exchange rate changes on earnings and cash flows. Accordingly, the Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to protect the value of existing foreign currency assets and liabilities and to hedge future foreign currency product costs. Gains or losses on these contracts are offset by the gain or loss on the underlying transaction. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar from December 28, 1997 market rates would increase the unrealized value of the Company's forward contracts by $178 million. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar from December 28, 1997 market rates would decrease the unrealized value of the Company's forward contracts by $216 million. In either scenario, the gain or loss on the forward contract is offset by the gain or loss on the underlying transaction and therefore has no impact on future earnings and cash flows. The Company also enters into interest rate and currency swap contracts to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate changes and hedge foreign currency denominated debt. The impact of a 1% change in interest rates on the Company's interest rate sensitive financial instruments is immaterial. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Further, the Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with parties that have at least an "A" (or equivalent) credit rating. The counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions and the Company does not have significant exposure to any one counterparty. Management believes the risk of loss is remote and in any event would be immaterial. See pages 36, 40 and 41 for additional information. Changing Prices and Inflation Johnson & Johnson is aware that its products are used in a setting where, for more than a decade, policymakers, consumers, and businesses have expressed concern about the rising cost of health care. In response to these concerns, Johnson & Johnson has a long standing policy of pricing products responsibly. For the period 1980-1996, 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 professional products) was below the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the period. This was true again in 1997. Inflation rates, even though moderate in many parts of the world during 1997, 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. Year 2000 The Company has reviewed its critical information systems for YEAR 2000 compliance and has initiated plans to remedy any deficiencies in a timely manner. As a result of the review and action plan, the Company believes the cost of such reme-dial corrective actions are not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" that establishes standards for reporting and display of an alternative income measurement and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt SFAS 130 in 1998. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" that establishes standards for the reporting of 28 5 information about operating segments in annual financial statements. Additionally, it requires that enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareowners. This statement is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997 and the Company will adopt SFAS 131 for fiscal year 1998. Segments of Business Financial information for the Company's three worldwide business segments is summarized below. Refer to page 44 for additional information on segments of business.

Consumer The Consumer segment's principal products are personal care and hygienic products, including oral and baby care products, first aid products, nonprescription drugs, sanitary protection products and adult skin and hair care products. Major brands include ACT Fluoride Rinse; BAND-AID Brand Adhesive Bandages; CAREFREE Panty Shields; JOHNSON'S CLEAN & CLEAR skin care products; IMODIUM A-D, an antidiarrheal; JOHNSON'S Baby line of products; JOHNSON's pH 5.5 skin and hair care products; MONISTAT, a remedy for vaginal yeast infections; MYLANTA gastrointestinal products and PEPCID AC Acid Controller from the Johnson & Johnson o Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co.; NEUTROGENA skin and hair care products; NICOTROL smoking cessation products; o.b. Tampons; PENATEN and NATUSAN baby care products; PIZ BUIN and SUNDOWN sun care products; REACH toothbrushes; RoC skin care products; SHOWER TO SHOWER personal care products; STAYFREE and SURE & NATURAL sanitary protection products; and the broad family of TYLENOL acetaminophen products. These products are marketed principally to the general public and distributed both to wholesalers and directly to independent and chain retail outlets. Consumer segment sales in 1997 were $6.5 billion, an increase of 2.1% over 1996. Sales by domestic companies accounted for 49.9% of the total segment, while international companies accounted for 50.1%. This growth was led by strong performance in the NEUTROGENA, RoC and CLEAN & CLEAR skin care franchises as well as adult and children's MOTRIN, IMODIUM Advanced Formula and LACTAID. During the year, the Company announced a licensing agreement with Raisio Group of Finland for the North American marketing rights (as well as a letter of intent for the worldwide marketing rights) to a dietary ingredient, stanol ester, which is patented for use in reducing cholesterol. The Company also established an alliance with Takeda Chemical Industries in Japan for the sale and distribution of OTC products beginning with several forms of TYLENOL. Consumer segment sales in 1996 were $6.36 billion, an increase of 9.1% over 1995. Sales by domestic companies accounted for 49.7% of the total segment, while international companies accounted for 50.3%. The sales growth was led by the strong performance of the OTC pharmaceutical business. PEPCID AC, a product of the Johnson & Johnson o Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co., and TYLENOL, despite heavy competition, remain the dominant brands in their respective categories. A strong performance by the adult skin and hair care franchise, which includes the Neutrogena and RoC businesses, also contributed to the growth in sales. Consumer segment sales in 1995 were $5.83 billion, an increase of 11% over 1994. Sales by domestic companies accounted for 49% of the total segment, while international companies accounted for 51%. Growth was led by the addition of the Neutrogena line of high quality skin and hair care products, which was acquired in the third quarter of 1994; the U.S. launch of PEPCID AC Acid Controller, by Johnson & Johnson o Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co., and continued growth in international markets, most notably Brazil. In addition to PEPCID AC, Children's MOTRIN, a nonprescription children's fever and pain reliever that lasts up to eight hours, was introduced as an over-the-counter product. Acquisitions and divestitures during 1997 and 1996 are described in more detail on page 41. Pharmaceutical The Pharmaceutical segment represents over 50% of the Company's operating profit for all segments. This segment's principal worldwide franchises are in the allergy, antibacterial, antifungal, antianemia, central nervous system, contraceptive, dermatology, gastrointestinal, and pain management 29 6 fields. These products are distributed both directly and through wholesalers for use by health care professionals and the general public. Prescription drugs include DURAGESIC, a transdermal patch for chronic pain; EPREX (sold in the U.S. as PROCRIT), a biotechnology derived version of the human hormone erythropoietin, which stimulates red blood cell production; ERGAMISOL, a colon cancer drug; FLOXIN and LEVAQUIN, both antibacterials; HISMANAL, the once-a-day less sedating antihistamine; IMODIUM, an antidiarrheal; LEUSTATIN, for hairy cell leukemia; MOTILIUM, a gastrointestinal mobilizer; NIZORAL, SPORANOX and TERAZOL, antifungals; ORTHOCLONE OKT-3, for reversing the rejection of kidney, heart and liver transplants, ORTHO-NOVUM group of oral contraceptives; PREPULSID (sold in the U.S. as PROPULSID), a gastrointestinal prokinetic; RETIN-A, a dermatological cream for acne; RENOVA, a dermatological cream for photo aging; RISPERDAL, an antipsychotic drug; and ULTRAM, a centrally acting prescription analgesic for moderate to moderately severe pain. Johnson & Johnson markets more than 90 prescription drugs around the world, with 50% of the sales generated outside the United States. Twenty-six drugs sold by the Company had 1997 sales in excess of $50 million, with 17 of them in excess of $100 million. Pharmaceutical segment sales in 1997 were $7.7 billion, an increase of 7.1% over 1996. This growth reflects the strong performance of RISPERDAL, PROCRIT, PROPULSID, ULTRAM, DURAGESIC, and LEVAQUIN, a new anti-infective launched in 1997. At year-end 1997, the Company received approval from the FDA for REGRANEX (becaplermin), the first biologic treatment proven to increase the incidence of healing in diabetic foot ulcers. This wound healing agent utilizes a genetically-engineered human platelet-derived growth factor to actively stimulate the body to grow new tissue. In the fourth quarter, the Company announced a licensing agreement for the rights to a novel class of compounds for the treatment of pain and inflammation. These compounds include selective Cox-2 inhibitors and offer advantages over currently available drugs that have gastrointestinal side effects. Pharmaceutical segment sales in 1996 were $7.19 billion, an increase of 14.6% over 1995. Domestic sales advanced 24.4%, while international sales advanced 7.2%. The worldwide growth was attributable to the outstanding performances of PROCRIT, RISPERDAL, SPORANOX, PROPULSID, ULTRAM, and DURAGESIC. Pharmaceutical segment sales in 1995 were $6.27 billion, an increase of 21.6% over 1994. Domestic sales advanced 25.9%, while international sales rose 18.6%. The worldwide sales growth reflected the outstanding performances of RISPERDAL, PROPULSID, SPORANOX, DURAGESIC and PROCRIT. Additionally, ULTRAM, launched in late March, was also an important contributor to sales growth. Significant research activities continued in the Pharma-ceutical segment, increasing to $1.28 billion in 1997, or $186 million over 1996. This represents 16.7% of 1997 Pharmaceutical sales and a compound annual growth rate of approximately 15.0% for the five-year period since 1992. Pharmaceutical research is led by two worldwide organizations, Janssen Research Foundation, headquartered in Belgium and the R.W. Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute, headquartered in the United States. Additional research is conducted through a collaboration with the James Black Foundation in London, England. Professional The Professional segment includes suture and mechanical wound closure products, minimally invasive surgical instruments, diagnostic products, cardiology products, medical equipment and devices, disposable contact lenses, surgical instruments, joint replacements and products for wound management and infection prevention. These products are used principally in professional fields by physicians, nurses, therapists, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories and clinics. Distribution to these markets is done both directly and through surgical supply and other dealers. Worldwide sales of $8.4 billion in the Professional segment represented an increase of 4.5% over 1996. Sales growth continued to be fueled by the excellent performance of Ethicon Endo-Surgery's minimally invasive surgical instruments, Johnson & Johnson Professional's orthopaedic business, Vistakon's disposable contact lenses and LifeScan's blood glucose monitoring systems. The interventional cardiology market experienced growth in 1997 due in part to its widely accepted use in the medical community as a standard of care. This growth has attracted a number of new entrants to the market making it much more challenging and competitive. The Asia-Pacific and Central Europe regions contributed significantly to the overall increase in the Professional segment. Of the 1997 Professional segment sales, domestic and international companies accounted for 55% and 45% of the total, respectively. There were several business combinations in the Professional segment during 1997. These included Biopsys Medical, Inc., a maker of products for the diagnosis and management of breast cancer; Biosense, Inc., a leader in medical sensor technology for use in diagnostic and therapeutic interventional procedures; Gynecare, Inc., a maker of minimally invasive medical devices for the treatment of uterine disorders, and Innotech, Inc., a manufacturer of equipment for high quality prescription eyeglass lenses. At year-end 1997, three new products were approved for marketing by the FDA. The Palmaz-Schatz Crown Stent, mounted on the PowerGrip Stent Delivery System, was approved for use in treating plaque build-up and blockages in coronary arteries. It offers significant flexibility in reaching difficult lesions while retaining exceptional radial strength. Gynecare's ThermaChoice Uterine Balloon Therapy System was approved for the treatment of excessive menstrual bleeding in women. This eight-minute, minimally invasive, outpatient procedure is a safe and effective alternative to hysterectomies and eliminates the need for general anesthesia. In addition, Indigo's LaserOptic Treatment System was approved for the treatment of symptoms of enlarged prostate in men, otherwise known as benign prostatic hyperplasia. The system is a portable unit that combines fiber 30 7 optics with diode laser technology and allows the surgeon to quickly destroy a precise area of the prostate. In 1996, Professional segment sales increased 19.8% over 1995, to $8.07 billion. The sales growth includes the full year impact of the merger with Cordis Corporation in early 1996, and the continued growth of the interventional cardiology business. Strong growth in the Asia-Pacific region also contributed to the increase in the Professional segment, as did excellent performances by LifeScan's blood glucose monitors, Vistakon's disposable contact lenses, Ethicon Endo-Surgery's minimally invasive surgical instruments and Johnson & Johnson Professional's orthopaedic business. Of the 1996 Professional segment sales, domestic and international companies accounted for 54.3% and 45.7% of the total, respectively. In 1995, Professional segment sales increased 26.5% over 1994, to $6.74 billion. Sales growth was fueled by the rapid market acceptance of the PALMAZ-SCHATZ Coronary Stent due to its efficacy in reducing restenosis, the recurring blockage of arteries following balloon angioplasty. LifeScan's blood glucose monitoring systems, Vistakon's disposable contact lenses, Ethicon Endo-Surgery's minimally invasive surgical instruments and Johnson & Johnson Clinical Diagnostics, the diagnostic business acquired from Eastman Kodak in November 1994. Acquisitions and divestitures during 1997 and 1996 are described in more detail on page 41.

Description of Business The Company, which employees 90,500 employees worldwide, is engaged in the manufacture and sale of a broad range of products in the health care field in virtually all countries of the world. The Company's primary interest, both historically and currently, has been in products related to health and well-being. The Company is organized on the principle of decentralized management. The Executive Committee of Johnson & Johnson is the principal management group responsible for the operations of the Company. In addition, three Executive Committee members are Chairmen of Group Operating Committees, which are comprised of managers who represent key operations within the group, as well as management expertise in other specialized functions. These Committees oversee and coordinate the activities of domestic and international companies related to each of the Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Professional businesses. Operating management of each company is headed by a Chairman, President, General Manager or Managing Director who reports directly or indirectly through a Company Group Chairman. In line with this policy of decentralization, each international subsidiary is, with some exceptions, managed by citizens of the country where it is located. The Company's international business is conducted by subsidiaries manufacturing in 35 countries outside the United States and selling in over 175 countries throughout the world. In all its product lines, the Company competes with companies both large and small, located in the U.S. and abroad. Competition is strong in all lines without regard to the number and size of the competing companies involved. Competition in research, involving the development of new products and processes and the improvement of existing products and processes, is particularly significant and results from time to time in product and process obsolescence. The development of new and improved products is important to the Company's success in all areas of its business. This competitive environment requires substantial investments in continuing research and in multiple sales forces. In addition, the winning and retention of customer acceptance of the Company's consumer products involves heavy expenditures for advertising, promotion, and selling. 31 8 Consolidated Balance Sheet Johnson & Johnson and Subsidiaries

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 34 11 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Johnson & Johnson and Subsidiaries 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Johnson & Johnson and subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Cash Equivalents The Company considers securities with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped and title passes to the customer. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined principally by the first-in, first-out method) or market. Depreciation of Property The Company utilizes the straight-line method of depreciation for financial statement purposes for all additions to property, plant and equipment placed in service after January 1, 1989. Property, plant and equipment placed in service prior to January 1, 1989 is generally depreciated using an accelerated method. Intangible Assets The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of purchased businesses is recorded as goodwill and is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of 40 years or less. The cost of other acquired intangibles is amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets. Any impairments would be recognized when the expected future operating cash flows derived from such intangible assets is less than their carrying value. Long-Lived Assets Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset in question may not be recoverable. This standard, adopted in 1996, did not have a material effect on the Com-pany's results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Financial Instruments Gains and losses on foreign currency hedges of existing assets or liabilities, or hedges of firm commitments, are deferred and recognized in income as part of the related transaction. Unrealized gains and losses on currency swaps which hedge third party debt are classified in the balance sheet as other assets or liabilities. Interest expense under these agreements, and the respective debt instruments that they hedge, are recorded at the net effective interest rate of the hedged transaction. In the event of early termination of a currency swap contract that hedges third party debt, the gain or loss on the swap contract is amortized over the remaining life of the related transaction. If the underlying transaction associated with a swap, or other derivative contract, is accounted for as a hedge and is terminated early, the related derivative contract is terminated simultaneously and any gains or losses would be included in income immediately. Advertising Costs associated with advertising are expensed in the year in- curred. Advertising expenses worldwide, which are comprised of television, radio and print media, were $1.26 billion, $1.26 billion and $1.03 billion in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Income Taxes The Company intends to continue to reinvest its undistributed international earnings to expand its international operations; therefore, no tax has been provided to cover the repatriation of such undistributed earnings. At December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996 the cumulative amount of undistributed international earnings was approximately $5.9 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively. Net Earnings Per Share At year-end 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareowners by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Prior periods have been restated to reflect the new standard. All share and per share amounts have also been restated to reflect prior year stock splits. Risks and Uncertainties The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results are not expected to differ materially from those estimates. Annual Closing Date The Company follows the concept of a fiscal year which ends on the Sunday nearest to the end of the month of December. Normally each fiscal year consists of 52 weeks, but every five or six years, as will be the case in 1998, the fiscal year consists of 53 weeks. Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. 2 Inventories At the end of 1997 and 1996, inventories were comprised of:

The Company capitalizes interest expense as part of the cost of construction of facilities and equipment. Interest expense capitalized in 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $40, $55 and $70 million, respectively. Upon retirement or other disposal of fixed assets, the cost and related amount of accumulated depreciation or amortization are eliminated from the asset and reserve accounts, respectively. The difference, if any, between the net asset value and the proceeds is adjusted to income. 4 Borrowings The components of long-term debt are as follows:

(1) The principal amounts of these debt issues include the effect of foreign currency movements. Such debt was converted to fixed or floating rate U.S. dollar liabilities via interest rate and currency swaps. Unrealized currency gains (losses) on currency swaps are not included in the basis of the related debt transactions and are classified in the balance sheet as other assets (liabilities). (2) Weighted average effective rate. (3) Represents 5% Deutsche Mark notes due 2001 issued by a Japanese subsidiary and converted to a 1.98% fixed rate yen note via an interest rate and currency swap. The Company has access to substantial sources of funds at numerous banks worldwide. Total unused credit available to the Company approximates $3.2 billion, including $1.2 billion of credit commitments with various worldwide banks, $800 million of which will expire on October 2, 1998 and $400 million on October 6, 2002. Borrowings under the credit line agreements will bear interest based on either bids provided by the banks, the prime rate or London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR), plus applicable margins. Commitment fees under the agreements are not material. The Company's shelf registration filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission enables the Company to issue up to $2.59 billion of unsecured debt securities, and warrants to purchase debt securities, under its medium term note (MTN) program. No MTN's were issued during 1997. At December 28, 1997, the Company had $2.29 billion remaining on its shelf registration. The Company did not issue any long-term public debt in 1997. Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt amounted to $714 million at the end of 1997. These borrowings are composed of $115 million equivalent of 11.25% Italian Lire notes, $72 million 4.5% currency indexed notes, $65 million MTN's and $462 million of local borrowings, principally by international subsidiaries. Aggregate maturities of long-term obligations for each of the next five years commencing in 1998 are:

6 Income Taxes The provision for taxes on income consists of:
(Dollars in Millions) 1997 1996 1995 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently payable: U.S. taxes $ 939 662 509 International taxes 455 487 468 ------------------------------ 1,394 1,149 977 ------------------------------ Deferred: U.S. taxes (115) 28 (42) International taxes (6) (31) (21) ------------------------------ (121) (3) (63) ------------------------------ $1,273 1,146 914 ==============================
Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates, applicable to future years, to differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. 36 13 Temporary differences and carryforwards for 1997 are as follows:
Deferred Tax (Dollars in Millions) Asset Liability - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Postretirement benefits $ 284 -- Postemployment benefits 108 -- Employee benefit plans 135 -- Depreciation -- 268 Non-deductible intangibles -- 149 International R&D capitalized for tax 124 -- Reserves & liabilities 427 -- Income reported for tax purposes 197 -- Miscellaneous international 36 122 Miscellaneous U.S. 186 43 ------------------- Total deferred income taxes $ 1,497 582 ===================
A comparison of income tax expense at the federal statutory rate of 35% in 1997, 1996 and 1995, to the Company's effective tax rate is as follows:
(Dollars in Millions) 1997 1996 1995 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings before taxes on income $4,576 4,033 3,317 ------------------------------ Statutory taxes $1,602 1,412 1,161 Tax rates: Statutory 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% Puerto Rico & Ireland operations (5.7) (6.3) (7.3) Research tax credits (0.3) (0.3) (0.2) Domestic state and local 1.0 1.6 1.2 International subsidiaries excluding Ireland (2.7) (2.0) (1.7) All other 0.5 0.4 0.6 ------------------------------ Effective tax rate 27.8% 28.4% 27.6% ==============================
The reduction in the 1997 worldwide effective tax rate was primarily due to a greater proportion of taxable income derived from lower tax rate countries. During 1997, the Company had subsidiaries operating in Puerto Rico under a grant for tax relief expiring December 31, 2007. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 includes a change in the tax code which will reduce the benefit the Company receives from its operations in Puerto Rico by 60% gradually over a five-year period. The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 repealed the Puerto Rico tax credit; however, the Company, as an existing credit claimant, may claim the credit for an additional 10 year period. In addi-tion, the Company has subsidiaries manufacturing in Ireland under an incentive tax rate expiring on December 31, 2010. 7 International Currency Translation For translation of its international currencies, the Company has determined that the local currencies of its international subsidiaries are the functional currencies except those in highly inflationary economies, which are defined as those which have had compound cumulative rates of inflation of 100% or more during the past three years. In consolidating international subsidiaries, balance sheet currency effects are recorded as a separate component of shareowners' equity. This equity account includes the results of translating all balance sheet assets and liabilities at current exchange rates, except for those located in highly inflationary economies, principally Latin America, which are reflected in operating results. An analysis of the changes during 1997 and 1996 in the separate component of shareowners' equity for cumulative currency translation adjustments follows:
(Dollars in Millions) 1997 1996 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning of year $(122) 148 Translation adjustments (289) (270) ----------------- End of year $(411) (122) =================
Net currency transaction and translation gains and losses included in other expense were after-tax losses of $27 million in 1997, after-tax gains of $2 million in 1996, and after-tax losses of $14 million in 1995. 8 International Subsidiaries The following amounts are included in the consolidated financial statements for international subsidiaries:
(Dollars in Millions) 1997 1996 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current assets $5,800 5,218 Current liabilities 2,479 2,470 Net property, plant and equipment 2,500 2,569 Parent company equity in net assets 6,491 6,103 Excess of parent company equity over investments 5,828 5,460
International sales to customers were $10,872, $10,721, and $9,652 million for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 9 Rental Expense and Lease Commitments Rentals of space, vehicles, manufacturing equipment and office and data processing equipment under operating leases amounted to approximately $235 million in 1997, $237 million in 1996 and $227 million in 1995. The approximate minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year at December 28, 1997 are:

Commitments under capital leases are not significant. 37 14 10 Common Stock, Stock Option Plans and Stock Compensation Agreements At December 28, 1997, the Company had stock option plans that may grant options to employees and non-employee directors. Under the 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan and the 1997 Non-Employee Directors' Plan, the Company may grant up to 56 million shares of common stock to its employees. The shares outstanding are from the Company's 1986, 1991 and 1995 Employee Stock Option Plans, the 1997 Non-Employee Directors' Plan and the Mitek, Cordis, Biosense and Gynecare Stock Option Plans. Stock options expire in ten years from the date granted and vest over service periods that range from two to six years. Shares available for future grants amounted to 22.7 million, 32.9 million and 40.1 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans as of December 28, 1997, December 29, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and changes during the years ending on those dates is presented below:
Options Weighted Average (Shares in Thousands) Outstanding* Exercise Price - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at January 1, 1995 72,544 $19.50 Options granted 16,902 41.76 Options exercised (8,184) 12.43 Options cancelled/forfeited (2,638) 23.46 ------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 1995 78,624 24.89 Options granted 10,120 43.81 Options exercised (7,442) 16.13 Options cancelled/forfeited (2,231) 29.27 ------------------------------- Balance at December 29, 1996 79,071 28.01 Options granted 12,564 60.62 Options exercised (10,597) 16.80 Options cancelled/forfeited (2,193) 36.36 ------------------------------- Balance at December 28, 1997 78,845 $34.48 ===============================
* Adjusted to reflect the 1996 two-for-one stock split. In January 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," that calls for companies to measure employee stock compensation expense based on the fair value method of accounting. However, as allowed by the Statement, the Company elected the continued use of Accounting Principle Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," with pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share determined as if the fair value method had been applied in measuring compensation cost. Had the fair value method been applied, net income would have been reduced by $30 million or $.02 basic earnings per share in 1997 and $16 million or $.01 basic earnings per share in 1996. In 1995, net income would have been reduced by $2 million with no change to basic earnings per share. These calculations only take into account the options issued since January 1, 1995. The average fair value of options granted during 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $17.50, $13.37 and $10.96, respectively. The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the weighted average assumptions of: risk-free interest rate of 5.89% for 1997, 6.11% for 1996 and 5.65% for 1995; volatility of 21.5% for 1997, 18.2% for 1996 and 17.8% for 1995; expected life of 5.3 years for 1997, 7 years for 1996 and 1995; and dividend yield of 1.43% for 1997, 1.48% for 1996 and 1.90% for 1995. The following table summarizes stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 28, 1997:
(Shares in Thousands) Outstanding Exercisable - - ------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- Average Average Exercise Average Exercise Exercise Price Range Options Life(a) Price Options Price - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- $8.00-$17.86 12,341 2.2 $13.83 12,340 $13.83 $18.28-$36.85 33,156 5.7 24.23 18,906 23.97 $37.70-$52.00 21,833 8.2 46.02 3,499 42.94 $52.13-$65.59 11,515 9.9 64.28 3 65.70 ---------------------------------------------- $8.00-$65.59 78,845 6.5 $34.48 34,748 $22.28 ==============================================
(a) Average contractual life remaining in years 11 Certificates of Extra Compensation The Company has a deferred compensation program for senior management and other key personnel. The value of units awarded under the program is related to the net asset value of the Company and historical earning power of its common stock. Amounts earned under the program are payable only after employment with the Company has ended. 12 Segments of Business and Geographic Areas See page 44 for information on segments of business and geographic areas. 13 Retirement and Pension Plans The Company sponsors various retirement and pension plans, including defined benefit, defined contribution and termination indemnity plans, which cover most employees worldwide. Plan benefits are primarily based on the employee's compensation during the last three to five years before retirement and the number of years of service. The Company's objective in funding its domestic plans is to accumulate funds sufficient to provide for all accrued benefits. International subsidiaries have plans under which funds are deposited with trustees, annuities are purchased under group contracts, or reserves are provided. In certain countries other than the United States, the funding of pension plans is not a common practice as funding provides no economic benefit. Consequently, the Company has several pension plans which are not funded. 38 15 Net pension expense for the Company's defined benefit plans for 1997, 1996 and 1995 included the following components:
(Dollars in Millions) 1997 1996 1995 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost for benefits earned during period $166 159 121 Interest cost on projected benefit obligations 239 230 207 Actual return on plan assets (576) (403) (555) Net amortization and deferral 304 175 310 Curtailment and settlement losses (gains) 1 -- 25 ---------------------------- Net periodic pension cost $134 161 108 ============================
The net periodic pension cost attributable to domestic plans and included above was $50 million in 1997, $84 million in 1996 and $43 million in 1995. The following tables provide the domestic assumptions and the range of international assumptions, which are based on the economic environment of each applicable country, used to develop net periodic pension cost and the actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations:
Domestic Pension Plans 1997 1996 1995 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 9.0% 9.0% 9.0% Weighted average discount rate 7.25 7.75 7.25 Rate of increase in compensation levels 5.0 5.5 5.5 International Pension Plans - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 5.0-9.5% 5.0-10.0% 5.0-10.0% Weighted average discount rates 4.0-8.0 4.0-8.5 4.25-9.5 Rate of increase in compensation levels 3.0-5.5 3.0-6.5 3.0-7.0
The following table sets forth the actuarial present value of benefit obligations and funded status at year-end 1997 and 1996 for the Company's defined benefit plans:

39 16 14 Savings Plan The Company has voluntary 401(k) savings plans designed to enhance the existing retirement programs covering eligible employees. The Company matches a percentage of each employee's contributions consistent with the provisions of the plan for which he/she is eligible. In the U.S. salaried plan, one-third of the Company match is paid in Company stock under an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). In 1990, to establish the ESOP, the Company loaned $100 million to the ESOP Trust to purchase shares of Company stock on the open market. In exchange, the Company received a note, the balance of which is recorded as a reduction of shareowners' equity. Total Company contributions to the plans were $58 million in 1997, $50 million in 1996 and $45 million in 1995. 15 Other Postretirement Benefits The Company provides postretirement benefits, primarily health care, to all domestic retired employees and their dependents. Most international employees are covered by government-sponsored programs and the cost to the Company is not significant. The Company does not fund retiree health care benefits in advance and has the right to modify these plans in the future. The net periodic postretirement benefit costs included the following components:
(Dollars in Millions) 1997 1996 1995 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost-benefits earned during the current year $17 16 12 Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 46 46 44 Actual return on plan assets (7) (6) (3) Net amortization and deferral (1) 3 (7) --------------------------- Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $55 59 46 ===========================
The plans' status as of year-end 1997 and 1996 was as follows:
Year-end (Dollars in Millions) 1997 1996 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $448 387 Fully eligible active participants 61 62 Other active participants 182 142 ---------------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 691 591 Life insurance plan assets at fair value 46 41 ---------------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation in excess of plans' assets 645 550 ---------------- Unrecognized net gain 107 172 Unrecognized prior service gain 9 8 ---------------- Accrued postretirement benefit cost $761 730 ================
The postretirement benefit obligation was determined by application of the terms of the various plans, together with relevant actuarial assumptions. Health care cost trends are projected at annual rates grading from 10% for employees under age 65 and 7% for employees over age 65 down to 5% for both groups by the year 2008 and beyond. The effect of a 1% annual increase in these assumed cost trend rates would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at year-end by $85 million and the service and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1997 by a total of $9 million. Assumptions used to develop net periodic postretirement benefit cost and the actuarial present value of projected postretirement benefit obligations were as follows:
1997 1996 1995 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 9.0% 9.0% 9.0% Weighted average discount rate 7.25 7.75 7.25 Rate of increase in compensation levels 5.0 5.5 5.5
The Company also provides postemployment benefits to qualified former or inactive employees. The Company does not fund these benefits and has the right to modify these plans in the future. 16 Financial Instruments Derivative Financial Instrument Risk The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the impact of interest rate and foreign exchange rate changes on earnings and cash flows. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with parties that have at least an "A" (or equivalent) credit rating. The counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions and the Company does not have significant exposure to any one counterparty. Management believes the risk of loss is remote and in any event would be immaterial. Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk Management The Company uses interest rate and currency swaps to manage interest rate and currency risk primarily related to borrowings. Interest rate and currency swap agreements that hedge third party debt mature with these borrowings and are described in Note 4. The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts maturing within five years to protect the value of existing foreign currency assets and liabilities and to hedge future foreign currency product costs. The Company has forward exchange contracts outstanding at year-end in various currencies, principally in U.S. Dollars, Belgian Francs and Swiss Francs. In addition, the Company has currency swaps outstanding, principally in U.S. Dollars, Belgian Francs 40 17 and French Francs. Unrealized gains and losses, based on dealer quoted market prices, from hedging firm commitments are presented in the following table:
1997 -------------------------------------- Notional (Dollars in Millions) Amounts Gains Losses - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forwards $4,830 177 37 Currency swaps 2,773 109 25
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and current and non-current marketable securities approximates fair value of these instruments. In addition the carrying amount of long-term investments, long-term debt, interest rate and currency swaps (used to hedge third party debt) approximates fair value of these instruments for 1997 and 1996. The fair value of current and non-current marketable securities, long-term debt and interest rate and currency swap agreements were estimated based on quotes obtained from brokers for those or similar instruments. The fair value of long-term investments were estimated based on quoted market prices at year-end. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company invests its excess cash in both deposits with major banks throughout the world and other high quality short-term liquid money market instruments (commercial paper, government and government agency notes and bills, etc.). The Company has a policy of making investments only with commercial institutions that have at least an "A" (or equivalent) credit rating. These investments generally mature within six months and the Company has not incurred any related losses. The Company sells a broad range of products in the health care field in most countries of the world. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base. Ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed and, generally, no collateral is required. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not exceeded management's expectations. 17 Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures During 1997, certain businesses were merged with Johnson & Johnson at a value, net of cash, of $737 million. The mergers have been accounted for as poolings of interests; prior period financial statements have not been restated since the effect of these mergers would not materially effect previously issued financial statements. The 1997 mergers included Biopsys Medical, Inc., Biosense, Inc. and Gynecare, Inc. Biopsys Medical, Inc. is an innovator and marketer of the MAMMOTOME Breast Biopsy System. The MAMMOTOME System is a minimally invasive procedure for breast cancer diagnosis, which requires only local anesthetic and is performed on an outpatient basis. Biosense, Inc. is a leader in developing medical sensor technology and is developing several applications that will facilitate a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic interventional and cardiovascular procedures. Gynecare, Inc. is the developer and marketer of innovative, minimally invasive medical devices utilized in the treatment of uterine disorders. Certain businesses were acquired for $180 million during 1997 and the purchase method of accounting was employed. The most significant 1997 acquisition was Innotech, Inc., a developer and marketer of eyeglass lens products, desktop lens casting systems and related consumables that enable eye care professionals and optical retailers to custom fabricate high quality prescription eyeglass lenses at the point of sale. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of 1997 acquisitions amounted to $157 million. This amount has been allocated to identifiable intangibles and goodwill. Pro forma information is not provided for 1997 since the impact of the acquisitions does not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Divestitures in 1997 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position. On February 23, 1996, Johnson & Johnson and Cordis Corporation completed the merger between the two companies. Cordis is a leader in angiography and angioplasty (balloon catheters). The merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests; however, prior period financial statements have not been restated as the effect of reflecting data relating to this merger would not materially effect previously issued financial statements. Johnson & Johnson issued 2.2584 shares of stock, on a split-adjusted basis, for each share of Cordis stock. The exchange ratio resulted from dividing $109 (exchange value of Cordis shares) by the average of the closing prices for Johnson & Johnson shares for the 10 days prior to the merger. At the time of the merger, Cordis had approximately 17.6 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, resulting in a total value, net of cash, of approximately $1.8 billion. During 1996 certain business were acquired for $233 million. The 1996 acquisitions include Indigo Medical, Inc., a pioneer in the use of advanced, low cost diode lasers for interstitial thermotherapy and the exercise of our option to purchase the trademarks of Lactaid, Inc., producer of the natural dairy digestive supplement LACTAID. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of 1996 acquisitions amounted to $205 million. This amount has been allocated to identifiable intangibles and goodwill. Pro forma information is not provided for 1996 as the impact of the acquisitions does not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Divestitures in 1996 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position. 41 18 18 Pending 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 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. Additionally, the Company, along with numerous other pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors, is a defendant in a large number of individual and class actions brought by retail pharmacies in state and federal courts under the antitrust laws. These cases assert price discrimination and price-fixing violations resulting from an alleged industry-wide agreement to deny retail pharmacists price discounts on sales of brand name prescription drugs. The Company believes the claims against the Company in these actions are without merit and is defending them vigorously. Further, the Company, together with another contact lens manufacturer, a trade association and various individual defendants, is a defendant in several consumer class actions and an action brought by multiple State Attorneys General on behalf of consumers alleging violations of federal and state antitrust laws. These cases assert that enforcement of the Company's long-standing policy of selling contact lenses only to licensed eye care professionals is a result of an unlawful conspiracy to eliminate alternative distribution channels from the disposable contact lens market. The Company believes that these actions are without merit and is defending them vigorously. The Company is also involved in a number of patent, trademark and other lawsuits incidental to its business. The Company believes that the above proceedings in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position. 19 Earnings Per Share The following is a reconciliation of basic net earnings per share to diluted net earnings per share for the years ended December 28, 1997, December 29, 1996 and December 31, 1995:

Darretta Chairman, Board of Directors Vice President, Finance and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Independent Auditor's Report To the Shareowners and Board of Directors of Johnson & Johnson: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Johnson & Johnson and subsidiaries as of December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996, and the related consolidated statement of earnings, consolidated statement of common stock, retained earnings and treasury stock, and consolidated statement of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

EX-99.B 12 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT 1 EXHIBIT 99(b) CAUTIONARY STATEMENT UNDER PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 -- "SAFE HARBOR" FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The Company may from time to time make certain forward-looking statements in publicly-released materials, both written and oral. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and may be identified by their use of words like "plans," "expects," "will," "anticipates," "estimates" and other words of similar meaning. Such statements may address, among other things, the Company's strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approvals, market position, expenditures, and financial results. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events. The Company cannot guarantee that expectations expressed in forward-looking statements will be realized. Some important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements are as follows: Economic factors, including inflation and fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and the potential effect of such fluctuations on revenues, expenses and resulting margins. Competitive factors, including technological advances achieved and patents attained by competitors and generic competition as patents on the Company's products expire. Domestic and foreign healthcare reforms resulting in pricing pressures, including the continued consolidation among healthcare providers, trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment and government laws and regulations relating to pharmaceutical reimbursement and pricing generally. Government laws and regulations, affecting domestic and foreign operations, including those relating to trade, monetary and fiscal policies, taxes, price controls, regulatory approval of new products and licensing. Difficulties inherent in product development, including the potential inability to successfully continue technological innovation, complete clinical trials, obtain regulatory approvals in the United States and abroad, gain and maintain market approval of products and the possibility of encountering infringement claims by competitors with respect to patent or other intellectual property rights which can prelude or delay commercialization of a product. Significant litigation adverse to the Company including product liability claims, patent infringement claims, and antitrust claims. Product efficacy or safety concerns resulting in product recalls or declining sales. The impact of business combinations, including acquisitions and divestitures, and organizational restructuring consistent with evolving business strategies. Issuance of new or revised accounting standards by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the Securities and Exchange Commission. This list sets forth many, but not all, of the factors that could impact upon the Company's ability to achieve results described in any forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements which speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of future events or developments. 24 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
