                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants, the Pension Committee and the Compensation & Benefits
Committee of the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2002 and
2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, line 4i -
Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2002 is presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements but is 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. This supplemental schedule is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

JOHNSON & JOHNSON
SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         GENERAL

         The Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan (the "Plan") is a participant
         directed defined contribution plan which was established on June 1,
         1982 for eligible salaried and non-union hourly employees of Johnson &
         Johnson ("J&J" or the "Company") and certain domestic subsidiaries. The
         Plan was designed to enhance the existing retirement program of
         eligible employees. The funding of the Plan is made through employee
         and Company contributions. The assets of the Plan are maintained in two
         Master Trust accounts, the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan Trust
         ("Savings Plan Trust") and the Johnson & Johnson Pension Trust Fund
         ("Pension Trust Fund"), and transactions therein are executed by the
         trustee, State Street Trust Company ("State Street"). The Plan's
         interests in the Savings Plan Trust and the Pension Trust Fund are
         allocated to the Plan based upon the total of each participant's share
         in these Master Trust accounts.

         EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

         Effective January 1, 1991, the Company implemented a Leveraged Employee
         Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") to supplement its existing 401(k) plan.
         The ESOP is a leveraged employee stock ownership plan and is designed
         to comply with Section 4975(e)(7) and the regulations thereunder of the
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is subject to the
         applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
         1974, as amended. The ESOP is used to fund an additional 25% match of
         employee contributions (referred to herein as the "ESOP contribution").
         Additionally, the Company may elect to fund the employer 50% match of
         employee directed contributions with ESOP leveraged shares.

         Initial funding for the ESOP was made through an advance from J&J of
         $100 million, which was used to purchase 1,554,800 shares of J&J common
         stock on the open market (which equates to 12,438,400 shares when
         adjusted for subsequent stock splits). Of these shares, 1,217,133 and
         1,985,939 (adjusted for stock splits) remain unallocated as of December
         31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the
         net assets of the unallocated portion are $46,586,500 and $99,705,191,
         respectively, while the net assets of the allocated portion are
         $450,949,249 and $469,503,721, respectively. Shares are allocated to
         Plan participants under a formula set forth in the ESOP note agreement
         (see Note 8) relating to the advance from J&J.

         Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to
         the shares allocated to his or her account. The Company is entitled to
         exercise voting rights attributable to unallocated shares.

         CONTRIBUTIONS

         In general, full-time salaried employees and certain non-union hourly,
         part-time and temporary employees can contribute to the Plan, as there
         is no service requirement for employee contributions.

JOHNSON & JOHNSON
SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         Contributions are made to the Plan by participants through payroll
         deductions and by the Company on behalf of the participants.
         Participating employees may contribute a minimum of 3% up to a maximum
         of 35% of eligible pay, as defined by the Plan, beginning January 1,
         2002. Previously, the maximum contribution was 20% of eligible pay.
         Contributions can be pre-tax, post-tax or a combination of both.
         Pre-tax contributions may not exceed the smaller of (i) 35% of a
         participant's base salary for 2002 or 20% for 2001 or (ii) $11,000 for
         2002 or $10,500 for 2001. The maximum contributions to a participant's
         account, including participant pre-tax and post-tax contributions and
         the employer match is $40,000 for 2002 and $35,000 for 2001.

         Effective July 1, 2002, participants age 50 and over are eligible to
         contribute extra pre-tax contributions above the annual IRS limitations
         up to $1,000 in 2002. Participants can elect an amount to be
         contributed from each paycheck as their catch-up contribution. This
         amount will be in addition to the pre-tax and post-tax contribution
         percentages that participants have elected.

         After one year of service, participants receive an employer matching
         contribution equal to 75% of the first 6%, of a participants'
         contributions. The Company match is composed of cash (50%) and shares
         of Johnson & Johnson common stock (25%), defined as the ESOP
         contribution.

         All contributions, with the exception of the ESOP contribution, are
         invested in any of the nine investment funds as selected by the
         participating employees. Beginning in April of 2002, participants have
         the option to elect that the Company stock matching contribution be
         made as a cash contribution thus being diversified from ESOP into any
         of the other investment funds chosen by the participant. ESOP shares
         are released from the unallocated portion of the ESOP each February
         following the payment of the loan (see Note 8), in accordance with the
         ESOP Trust Agreement. Shares released, in accordance with the ESOP note
         agreement, may be more or less than shares earned by participants.

         INVESTMENTS

         Participants may invest in one or more of the nine investment funds
         offered by the Plan. The investment mix chosen by the participant will
         apply to employee and Company matching contributions. Rollover
         contributions are invested at the election of the participant.

         Beginning in 2002, participants may transfer all or a portion of their
         accumulated Company stock contribution into the Plan's other investment
         funds.

         In the third quarter of 1998, Johnson & Johnson incorporated a
         "dividend pass-through" feature into the Plan. Up through 2001, the
         pass-through was distributed to each participant via check. Effective
         January 1, 2002, dividends are automatically reinvested in the J&J
         Stock Fund unless specific elections are made to receive payment via
         check. For participants who had their dividends reinvested in the J&J
         Stock Fund, they had an opportunity in early 2002 to receive those 2001
         dividends in cash. The eligibility to receive a dividend pass-through
         is contingent on the ownership of shares in the Johnson & Johnson Stock
         Fund, which does not include shares owned in the Employee Stock
         Ownership Plan Trust Fund. The 2002 dividend pass-through amount paid
         to participants of $1,568,022 is reflected as benefits paid to
         participants in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for
         Benefits.

         All other dividend and interest income is reinvested, by the Trustee.

         VESTING

         A participant's interest in their account, including participant
         contributions, Company contributions and earnings thereon, will be at
         all times fully vested. As a result, there are no forfeitures under the
         Plan.

         PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

         Benefits are paid to participants upon termination of employment,
         long-term disability or retirement. Participants can elect to defer
         payment until age 70 1/2 if account balances are greater than $5,000.
         Distributions are paid either in a lump sum payment, or installment
         payments made on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Installment
         payments are made over a period of years selected by the participant.

         A participant's account may be distributed to their beneficiaries in
         lump sum, in installments, or maintained in the Trust upon the
         participant's death only if the beneficiary is a spouse. Otherwise, it
         is paid to the beneficiary in a lump sum.

         Participants are allowed to withdraw their post-tax contributions and
         earnings thereon, at any time. Participants may withdraw pre-tax
         contributions only upon meeting certain hardship conditions. The
         benefits to which participants are entitled is the amount provided by
         contributions (Company and participant) and investment earnings
         thereon, including net realized and unrealized gains and losses which
         have been allocated to the participant's account balance. Participants
         have the option of receiving all or part of their balance in the
         Johnson & Johnson Common Stock Fund as either cash or in shares of
         Johnson & Johnson common stock (plus cash for fractional shares) for
         distributions other than a hardship.

         ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         All third party administrative expenses are paid by the Plan, except
         the cost of entering into new investment vehicles which are primarily
         paid by the Company.

         PARTICIPANT LOANS

         Participants may borrow up to a maximum of 50% of their account
         balance. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum amount of
         outstanding loans cannot exceed $50,000. Loans bear an interest rate of
         prime plus 1%, are repayable within one to five years and are secured
         by the balance in the participant's account. Principal and interest is
         paid ratably through payroll deductions for active employees. Loans
         must be paid within two months following retirement or termination of
         employment with the Company. If the loan is not repaid in full, the
         unpaid balance, plus accrued interest, will be deducted from the
         participant's account balance and reported to the IRS as a
         distribution.

         TERMINATION

         Although it has not expressed an intent to do so, the Company has the
         right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and
         to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event
         of a partial or full Plan termination, all Plan funds must be used
         exclusively for the benefit of the Plan participants.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

         The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
         method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles in the United States of America.

         INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

         The Plan's interest in the Savings and Pension Master Trusts are stated
         at fair value. Generally, they represent securities traded on a
         national securities exchange, which are valued at the last reported
         sales price on the last business day of the year. Benefit responsive
         guaranteed and synthetic investment contracts are recorded at contract
         value, which approximates fair value (Note 5).

         As the investment funds contain various underlying assets such as stock
         and short-term investments, the participant's fund balance is reported
         in units of participation, which allows for immediate transfers in and
         out of the fund. The purchase or redemption price of the units is
         determined by the trustee, based on the current market value of the
         underlying assets of the funds. The fund's net asset value is the value
         of a single unit, which is computed by adding the value of the fund's
         investments, cash and other assets, and subtracting liabilities, then
         dividing the result by the number of units outstanding.

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

         NET APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION)

         The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available
         for Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of
         investments, which consists of unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
         of the underlying investments and realized gains and losses on sales of
         investments.

         PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

         Benefits are recorded when paid.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of the Plan's financial statements in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan
         administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
         reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of
         the financial statements and the changes in net assets available for
         benefits during the reporting period and when applicable disclosures of
         contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
         statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES

         The Plan provides for various investment options in funds, which can
         invest in a combination of equity, fixed income securities and other
         investments. Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest
         rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
         certain investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in
         risks in the near term would materially affect participant's account
         balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets
         Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets
         Available for Benefits.

3.       INVESTMENTS

         The following investments in both the Savings Plan Trust and Pension
         Trust Fund represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets.

5.       GUARANTEED AND SYNTHETIC INVESTMENT CONTRACTS

         Investments in guaranteed and synthetic investment contracts in the
         Fixed Interest Fund of the Savings Plan Trust are recorded at their
         contract values. This represents cost plus accrued interest of
         guaranteed investment contracts and fair value of the collateral plus
         the benefit responsive wrap value for synthetics, as the contracts are
         fully benefit-responsive. Participants may ordinarily direct the
         withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at
         contract value. There are currently no reserves against contract values
         for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise.

         The average yield of the Fixed Interest Fund was approximately 5.71%
         and 6.67% for 2002 and 2001, respectively. The crediting interest rate
         was approximately 5.80% for 2002 and 6.75% for 2001. The crediting
         interest rate of the Fixed Interest Fund is the annual return of the
         fund before plan expenses, while the average yield includes
         administrative expenses. The crediting interest rate for the investment
         contracts is either agreed to in advance with the issuer or varies
         based on an agreed to formula, but cannot be less than zero. The fair
         value of guaranteed and synthetic investment contracts at December 31,
         2002 and 2001 was $872,124,535 and $634,444,020, respectively in the
         aggregate.

7.       TAX STATUS

         The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
         a letter dated December 23, 2002, that the Plan, the Savings Plan
         Trust, and the Pension Trust Fund are designed in accordance with
         applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Although the
         Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the
         Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently
         being operated in compliance with applicable requirements of the IRC.

8.       INDEBTEDNESS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         In connection with the formation of the Plan's ESOP feature, the Plan
         borrowed $100 million from Johnson & Johnson for the purpose of
         purchasing J&J common stock. The note bears interest at 9% and is
         payable through February 15, 2005. The Company is obligated to make
         contributions in cash to the ESOP which, when aggregated with the
         ESOP's dividends and interest earnings, equal the amount necessary to
         enable the ESOP to make its regularly scheduled payments of principal
         and interest due on the term loan.
