ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Johnson & Johnson, employing approximately 109,900 people worldwide, is engaged in the manufacture and sale of a broad range of products in the health care field. Johnson & Johnson has over 200 subsidiaries that conduct business in virtually all countries of the world. Johnson & Johnson's primary interest, both historically and currently, has been in products related to human health and well-being. Johnson & Johnson was organized in the State of New Jersey in 1887.
Johnson & Johnson is organized on the principle of decentralized management. The Executive Committee of Johnson & Johnson is the principal management group responsible for the operations and allocation of the resources of the Company. This Committee oversees and coordinates the activities of the Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices and Diagnostics business segments. Each subsidiary within the business segments is, with some exceptions, managed by citizens of the country in which it is located.
SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS
Johnson & Johnson's worldwide business is divided into three segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices and Diagnostics. Additional information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to the narrative and tabular (but not the graphic) descriptions of segments and operating results under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" on pages 28 through 38 and 64 of Johnson & Johnson's Annual Report to Shareholders for fiscal year 2004 which is filed as Exhibit 13 to this Report on Form 10-K.
CONSUMER
The Consumer segment manufactures and markets a broad range of products used in the baby and child care, skin care, oral and wound care and women's health care fields, as well as over-the-counter pharmaceutical and nutritional products. Major brands include AVEENO skin care products; BAND-AID Brand Adhesive Bandages; CAREFREE Pantiliners; CLEAN & CLEAR teen skin care products; JOHNSON'S Baby line of products; MOTRIN IB ibuprofen products; PEPCID AC Acid Controller from Johnson & Johnson - Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co.; NEUTROGENA skin and hair care products; RoC skin care products; SPLENDA, a no calorie sweetener; STAYFREE sanitary protection products; and the broad family of TYLENOL acetaminophen products. These products are marketed principally to the general public and sold both to wholesalers and directly to independent and chain retail outlets throughout the world.
PHARMACEUTICAL
The Pharmaceutical segment's principal worldwide franchises are in the antifungal, anti-infective, cardiovascular, contraceptive, dermatology, gastrointestinal, hematology, immunology, neurology, oncology, pain management, psychotropic (central nervous system) and urology fields. These products are distributed both directly and through wholesalers and health care professionals for use by prescription by the general public. Key products in the Pharmaceutical segment include: PROCRIT (Epoetin alfa, sold outside the U.S. as EPREX), a biotechnology derived product that stimulates red blood cell production; DURAGESIC (fentanyl transdermal system, sold abroad as DUROGESIC), a treatment for chronic pain that offers a novel delivery system; RISPERDAL (risperidone) and RISPERDAL CONSTA (risperidone long-acting injection), for treatment of the symptoms of schizophrenia; REMICADE (infliximab), a novel monoclonal antibody therapy indicated to treat the symptoms of Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis; LEVAQUIN (levofloxacin) and FLOXIN (ofloxacin), both in the anti-infective field; TOPAMAX (topiramate), an anti-epileptic and migraine prevention treatment; ORTHO EVRA (norelgestromin/ethinyl estradiol transdermal system), the first contraceptive patch approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN LO (norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol), a low dose oral contraceptive; DOXIL (doxorubicin), a cancer treatment; DITROPAN XL (oxybutynin chloride), for
the treatment of overactive bladder; REMINYL (galantamine HBr), for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease; NATRECOR (nesiritide), a novel agent approved for congestive heart failure; VELCADE (bortezomib), an oncology treatment; and CONCERTA (methylphenidate HCl) a product for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
MEDICAL DEVICES AND DIAGNOSTICS
The Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment includes a broad range of products used by or under the direction of physicians, nurses, therapists, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories and clinics. These products include Ethicon's wound care and women's health products; Ethicon Endo-Surgery's minimally invasive surgical products; Cordis' circulatory disease management products; LifeScan's blood glucose monitoring products; Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics' professional diagnostic products; DePuy's orthopaedic joint reconstruction, spinal and sports medicine products and Vistakon's disposable contact lenses. Distribution to these health care professional markets is done both directly and through surgical supply and other dealers.
GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
The international business of Johnson & Johnson is conducted by subsidiaries located in 56 countries outside the United States, which are selling products in virtually all countries throughout the world. The products made and sold in the international business include many of those described above under "Business -- Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices and Diagnostics." However, the principal markets, products and methods of distribution in the international business vary with the country and the culture. The products sold in 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 U.S. 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 operating companies' businesses 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. Sales of the Company's two largest products, PROCRIT and RISPERDAL, each accounted for over 5% of Johnson & Johnson's total revenues for 2004. Accordingly, the patents related to these products are believed to be material in relation to Johnson & Johnson as a whole.
During 2004 and 2005, DURAGESIC (fentanyl transdermal system) in the United States and EPREX in international markets have lost or will lose their basic patent protection and will be subject to generic competition. The pediatric exclusivity for the DURAGESIC patent expired in the U.S. in January 2005. The first generic version of DURAGESIC has been launched. Foreign patent protection related to DURAGESIC will expire during 2005. The Company expects that DURAGESIC sales will decline in 2005 as compared to 2004.
During 2004, patents related to EPREX in certain international markets expired. Generic competition will be limited in the near term due to the lack of biologically equivalent compounds. Sales of DURAGESIC and EPREX accounted for over 7% of Johnson & Johnson's worldwide sales in 2004. There are no other major product patents that are scheduled to expire during the next 2 years.
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.
COMPETITION
In all of their 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 the products of Johnson & Johnson's consumer businesses 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 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 $5,203, $4,684 and $3,957 million for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, 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 companies were 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, cash flows, 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. Managed care has become a more potent force in the market place and it is likely that increased attention will be paid to drug and medical device pricing, appropriate drug and medical device utilization and the quality of health care. There is also
uncertainty as to the impact of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act which was enacted in the latter part of 2003.
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.
In addition, sales, marketing and other business practices in the health care industry have come under increased scrutiny by government agencies and state attorney generals and resulting investigations and prosecutions carry the risk of significant civil and criminal penalties.
While the Company's affiliates do not sell any COX-2 inhibitor medicines, the recent developments involving those medicines (such as Vioxx and Celebrex) are likely to have implications throughout the health care industry.

ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information set forth in Note 18 "Legal Proceedings" under "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" on pages 56 through 61 of the Annual Report is incorporated herein by reference and filed as Exhibit 13 to this Report on Form 10-K.
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.

ITEM 9A.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS. At the end of the fiscal fourth quarter, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the Company records, processes, summarizes and reports in a timely manner the information the Company must disclose in its reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act. William C. Weldon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert J. Darretta, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, Messrs. Weldon and Darretta concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
INTERNAL CONTROL. Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting is included in this Report on Form 10-K in this Item 9A. During the fiscal quarter ended January 2, 2005, there were no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. Under Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management is required to assess the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year and report, based on that assessment, whether the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the Company's financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, internal control over financial reporting determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company's management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2005. In making this assessment, the Company used the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework." These criteria are in the areas of control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring. The Company's assessment included extensive documenting, evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
Based on the Company's processes and assessment, as described above, management has concluded that, as of January 2, 2005, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2005 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in the "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" on page 63 of the Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.
