                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Pension Committee of
Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Johnson & Johnson
Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of operations and changes in plan equity for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Savings Plan'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 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Johnson & Johnson
Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its
operations and changes in plan equity for the years then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules as listed in
the accompanying index on page 1 are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the balance sheets and the related
statements of operations and changes in plan equity is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the balance sheets and statements of
operations and changes in plan equity for each fund. The supplemental schedules
and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

1.   Organization:
     -------------

     The Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan" - a defined
     contribution plan) was established on March 1, 1990 for eligible employees
     of certain subsidiaries of Johnson & Johnson (the "Company") located in
     Puerto Rico which have adopted the Plan. The Plan was designed to provide
     eligible employees with an opportunity to strengthen their financial
     security at retirement by providing an incentive to save and invest
     regularly. The funding of the Plan is made through employee and Company
     contributions. The assets of the Plan are maintained and transactions
     therein are executed by the trustee, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
     -------------------------------------------

     Valuation of Investments:

     Equity investments in the Johnson & Johnson Stock Fund, administered by the
     Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, are valued at the average of the high and low
     market price on the last business day of the year. Equity investments in
     the Equity Fund, managed by the Capital Research and Management Company,
     are traded on a national securities exchange, and are valued at the last
     reported market price on the last business day of the year. Temporary cash
     investments are stated at redemption value.

     The cost of equity investments in the Johnson & Johnson Stock Fund are
     recorded at the average market price of the stock transactions for the
     month during the month of purchase. Units in the Equity Fund are purchased
     throughout the month at the prevailing costs on those dates.

     Deposits in short-term investments in the Short-Term Investment Fund are
     principally purchases of shares of the Prime Portfolio of Vanguard Money
     Market Reserves, Inc. The Portfolio invests in securities which mature in
     less than one year. The value of this portfolio is the market value on the
     last business day of the year.

     Transfers:

     Transfers among funds, which are made at the participant's election have
     been presented as assets transferred.

                                    Continued

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, (continued)
     ------------------------------------------

     Use of Estimates:

     The preparation of the 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 from those estimates.

     Risks and Uncertainties:

     The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
     stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other investment
     securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as
     interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
     certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
     changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably
     possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect
     participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of
     net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net
     assets available for plan benefits.

     Other:

     Interest and dividend income are recorded as earned on the accrual basis.
     Purchases and sales of investment securities are reflected on a trade-date
     basis. Gains and losses on sales of investment securities are determined on
     the average cost method.

     All administrative expenses are paid by the Trust except for certain
     salaried employees and the recordkeeping system used by the Plan which are
     paid by the Company.

3.   Contributions:
     --------------

     Participating employees may contribute a minimum of 3% up to a maximum of
     6% pre-tax and 10% post-tax of their base salary. Pre-tax contributions may
     not exceed $7,000 under Puerto Rico law. The Company contributes to the
     Plan, out of current or accumulated profits, an amount equal to 66-2/3% of
     the employee's pre-tax contributions for the Plan year.

     Contributions are made to the Plan by participants through payroll
     deductions and by the Company on behalf of participants. Employee
     contributions are to be invested in any of the three investment funds at
     the direction of the participating employees. All Company contributions are
     made to the J&J Stock Fund, except for participants over the age of 50, who
     may choose the alternative investments.

     and 3,112 active and former employees had investments in the Plan for 1995
     and 1994, respectively.

4.   Benefits:
     ---------

     All participants are fully vested in their contributions and the company
     match. The benefit to which a plan participant is entitled is the amount
     provided by contributions (Company and participant) and investment earnings
     thereon (including net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses)
     which have been allocated to such participant's account balance.

6.   Tax Status:
     -----------

     The Plan constitutes a qualified plan under Section 165(a) of the Puerto
     Rico Income Tax Act of 1954 as amended, (the "ITA"), and the Trust is
     exempt from Puerto Rico income taxes under Section 165(a) and 165(e) of the
     ITA.

     The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
     However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the
     Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable
     requirements of the Puerto Rico tax code. Therefore, no provision for
     income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

7.   Termination Priorities:
     -----------------------

     The Company has the right to terminate the Plan at any time and in the
     event the Plan is terminated, subject to conditions set forth in ERISA, the
     amount of each participant's account balance in the Plan is fully vested.
