             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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, 2004 and
2003, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 2004 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). 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, 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, 2004 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. Prior to January 1, 2003, the assets of the Plan were
      maintained in the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan Trust and the Johnson &
      Johnson Pension Trust Fund, and transactions therein were executed by the
      trustee, State Street Trust Company ("State Street" or "Trustee"). The
      Plan's interests in the Savings Plan Trust and the Pension Trust Fund were
      allocated to the Plan based upon the total of each participant's share in
      the Master Trust accounts. As of January 1, 2003, the Johnson & Johnson
      Savings Plan Trust and Johnson & Johnson Pension Trust Fund merged to form
      a single Master Trust, the Johnson & Johnson Pension and Savings Plans
      Master Trust (the "Trust"). The Plan's interest in the Johnson & Johnson
      Pension and Savings Plans Master Trust is allocated to the Plan based upon
      the total of each participant's share in the Trust.

      This brief description of the Plan is provided for general information
      purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for complete
      information.

      EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

      Effective January 1, 1991, the Company implemented a Leveraged Employee
      Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") to enhance 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% company 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) (See Note 7). Of these shares, 465,624 (adjusted
      for stock splits) remain unallocated as of December 31, 2004. As of
      December 31, 2004, the net assets of the unallocated portion are
      $11,981,969, while the net assets of the allocated portion are
      $512,629,008. Shares are allocated to Plan participants under a formula
      set forth in the ESOP note agreement 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.

                                       -4-


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. 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 or (ii) $13,000 for
      2004. The maximum contributions to a participant's account, including
      participant pre-tax and post-tax contributions and the employer match is
      $41,000 for 2004.

      Effective July 1, 2002, participants age 50 and over are eligible to
      contribute extra pre-tax contributions ("catch-up contribution") above the
      annual IRS limitations up to $3,000 in 2004. 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 participant's
      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 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 7), in accordance with the ESOP Trust Agreement. Shares
      released, in accordance with the ESOP note agreement, may be more or less
      than shares allocated to 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.

      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. Participants
      who had their dividends reinvested in the J&J Stock Fund 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 Fund. The 2004
      dividend pass-through amount paid to participants of $2,398,100 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.

      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 an amount equal to their pre-August
      1, 2003 post-tax contributions and earnings thereon, and unmatched
      post-tax contributions made after August 1, 2003 by the employee and
      earnings thereon at any time. Participants may withdraw pre-tax
      contributions, post-tax matched contributions, and the employer match
      after August 1, 2003, only upon meeting certain hardship conditions. The
      benefits to which participants are entitled are the amounts 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
      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, unless
      otherwise provided for 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 collateralized 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 accounting principles generally accepted
      in the United States of America.

      INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

      The Plan's interest in the Trust is stated at fair value. Generally, it
      represents securities traded on a national securities exchange, which are
      valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the
      year. Securities not traded on a national securities exchange are valued
      using external pricing vendors based on the frequency of their valuations.
      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 account balance is reported
      in units of participation, which allows for immediate transfers in and out
      of the funds. 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. Each 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 Plan's interest in the Trust and includes the net
      appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments held in the
      Trust, 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 management 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 could materially affect participants' 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.

      RECLASSIFICATION

      Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
      year presentation.

3.    NON-PARTICIPANT DIRECTED INVESTMENTS

      The ESOP includes participant directed and non-participant directed
      investments. Information about the ESOP's net assets and the significant
      components of the changes in net assets of this fund is as follows:

4.    INVESTMENTS IN PLAN MASTER TRUSTS

      Effective January 1, 2003, the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan Trust merged
      with the Johnson & Johnson Pension Trust Fund to form a single Master
      Trust, the Johnson & Johnson Pension and Savings Plans Master Trust. The
      Plan holds approximately 52.71% of the Trust's net assets as of December
      31, 2004 and 2003.

      Net assets, income, and expenses are allocated to the Plan based on the
      total of each participant's share in the respective funds.

5.    GUARANTEED AND SYNTHETIC INVESTMENT CONTRACTS

      The Trust holds investments in guaranteed and synthetic investment
      contracts. These investments 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 these contracts was approximately 4.12% and 4.86% for
      2004 and 2003, respectively. The crediting interest rate was approximately
      4.22% for 2004 and 4.96% for 2003. The crediting interest rate of these
      contracts is the annual return of the contracts before plan expenses,
      while the average yield includes plan expenses. The crediting interest
      rate for the investment contracts is either agreed upon in advance with
      the issuer or varies based on an agreed upon formula, but cannot be less
      than zero. The fair value of guaranteed and synthetic investment contracts
      at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $964,899,533 and $916,198,929,
      respectively.

6.    TAX STATUS

      The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
      letter dated December 31, 2002, that the Plan is in compliance with
      applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Although the
      Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan
      administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is
      currently designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
      applicable requirements of the IRC.

7.    INDEBTEDNESS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by State
      Street Global Advisors. State Street is the trustee as defined by the Plan
      and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest
      transactions.

      The Plan also invests in shares of the Company. The Company is the plan
      sponsor and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest
      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.

      The remaining principal of $5,919,055 is due within the next year.

      In the event of Plan termination or of termination of the ESOP portion of
      the Plan, any unallocated shares shall be sold to the Company or on the
      open market. The proceeds of such sale shall be used to satisfy the
      outstanding principal and interest. The Company has no rights on the
      allocated ESOP shares.

8.    ASSETS TRANSFERS

      In July 2004, the net assets of the OraPharma, Inc. 401(k) Plan in the
      amount of $1,420,187 were transferred into the Plan. In August 2004, the
      net assets of the 3-Dimensional Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 401(k) Retirement
      Savings Plan in the amount of $5,566,319 were transferred into the Plan.
      In October 2004, the net assets of the Scios 401(k) Savings & Investment
      Plan in the amount of $31,005,833 were transferred into the Plan. These
      transfers into the Plan are reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net
      Assets Available for Benefits.
