NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - The accompanying interim financial statements and related
notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements of Johnson & Johnson and Subsidiaries (the "Company")
and related notes as contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The interim financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of
management for a fair presentation of such statements. Earnings
per share were calculated on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable
period. Earnings per share figures and shares outstanding reflect
the two-for-one stock split effective during the second quarter of
1996. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for 1996 and 1995 are as follows:
1996 1995
First Quarter 29.7% 29.0%
First Half 29.5 29.0
Nine Months 29.4 28.9


The effective income tax rates for the first nine months of 1996
and 1995 are 29.4% and 28.9%, respectively, as compared to the U.S.
federal statutory rate of 35%. The difference from the statutory
rate is primarily the result of domestic subsidiaries operating in
Puerto Rico under a grant for tax relief expiring on December 31,
2007 and the result of subsidiaries manufacturing in Ireland under
an incentive tax rate expiring on December 31, 2010. The increase
in the 1996 worldwide effective tax rate was primarily due to an
increase in income subject to tax in the U.S. 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.

NOTE 6 - MERGER AND ACQUISITIONS

During the third quarter, Johnson & Johnson completed the
acquisitions of Indigo Medical, Lactaid Inc., Codiex, S.A., and
D.J. Sullivan & Assoc. Indigo Medical is a pioneer in the use of
advanced, low cost diode lasers for interstitial thermotherapy.
Indigo markets diode lasers in Europe for treating benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that affects more than 20 million
men worldwide. Johnson & Johnson exercised the option to acquire
the trademarks of Lactaid, Inc. Lactaid is a natural dairy
digestive supplement. Codiex, S.A. is a current licensee of
Johnson & Johnson consumer products in Peru. D.J. Sullivan &
Assoc. is a consulting firm that specializes in operating room
consulting for small and medium size hospitals. The aggregate
purchase price for these acquisitions was $182 million. Pro forma
results of the acquisitions, assuming that the transactions were
consummated at the beginning of each year presented, would not be
materially different from the results reported.
On February 23, 1996, Johnson & Johnson and Cordis Corporation
completed the previously announced merger between the two
companies. The number of Johnson & Johnson shares issued in the

- 10 -
merger for each Cordis share is the result of dividing $109 by the
average of the closing prices per Johnson & Johnson share for the
10 trading days prior to the closing of the merger. This resulted
in an exchange ratio of 2.2584 shares of Johnson & Johnson stock on
a post split basis for each share of Cordis stock. The merger has
a total value, net of cash, of approximately $1.8 billion. Cordis
had approximately 17.6 million shares outstanding on a fully
diluted basis. 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 affect previously issued financial statements.
Cordis is a leader in angiography and angioplasty (balloon
catheters). The combination of Cordis and Johnson & Johnson's
interventional cardiology business is an important strategic step
for both companies to meet the challenge of providing for customer
needs in the fast changing healthcare industry.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES AND EARNINGS
Consolidated sales for the first nine months of 1996 of $16,118
million exceeded sales of $13,996 million for the first nine months
of 1995 by 15.2%. The strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the
foreign currencies decreased sales for the first nine months of
1996 by 1.7%. The sales increase of 16.9% due to operations
included a positive price change effect of .4%. Consolidated net
earnings for the first nine months of 1996 were $2,331 million,
compared with net earnings of $1,938 million for the first nine
months of 1995. Earnings per share for the first nine months of
1996 were $1.75, compared with $1.50 for the same period a year
ago. Net earnings and earnings per share rose 20.3% and 16.7%,
respectively.
Consolidated sales for the third quarter of 1996 were $5,402
million, an increase of 14.0% over 1995 third quarter sales of
$4,738 million. The effect of the stronger U.S. dollar relative to
foreign currencies decreased third quarter sales by 1.8%, while
price changes contributed .1%. Consolidated net earnings for the
third quarter of 1996 were $750 million, compared with $623 million
for the same period a year ago, an increase of 20.4%. Earnings per
share for the third quarter of 1996 rose 16.7% to $.56, compared
with $.48 in the 1995 period.
Domestic sales for the first nine months of 1996 were $8,079
million, an increase of 19.8% over 1995 domestic sales of $6,741
million for the same period a year ago. Sales by international
subsidiaries were $8,039 million for the first nine months of 1996
compared with $7,255 million for the same period a year ago, an
increase of 10.8%. Excluding the impact of the stronger value of
the dollar, international sales increased by 14.1%.
- - 12 -
Worldwide consumer sales for third quarter 1996 increased by
8.4%, with U.S. and international sales up 11.6% and 5.2%
respectively. Contributing to the growth were the TYLENOL line of
acetaminophen-based analgesic and cold products; MONISTAT 3, the
three-day miconazole nitrate treatment for curing vaginal yeast
infection; the NEUTROGENA and RoC lines of adult skin and hair care
products; and the NICOTROL nicotine transdermal system.
On July 3, the Company received marketing clearance from the Food
and Drug Administration for NICOTROL, the first nicotine
transdermal patch available for sale directly to consumers without
a doctor's prescription. The non-prescription version of NICOTROL
uses a simple dosing regimen and short length of therapy -- two
distinct benefits for smoking cessation candidates.
Worldwide pharmaceutical sales for the quarter increased 13.7%,
fueled primarily by the strong growth of 23.1% in the U.S. Sales
growth was led by the strong performance of RISPERDAL, an
antipsychotic medication; PROPULSID, a gastrointestinal product;
SPORANOX, a broad spectrum antifungal agent; ULTRAM, a centrally
acting prescription analgesic for moderate to moderately severe
pain; and PROCRIT, a treatment for anemia.
Since its introduction, RISPERDAL has become the standard of care
in treating schizophrenia because of its efficacy, safety and
tolerability. It is the first serotonin dopamine antagonist to
receive marketing approval for first-line use in the treatment of
schizophrenia. RISPERDAL recently became the most often prescribed
antipsychotic, winning over 20% of the market. In June of this
year, the Company received clearance from the Food and Drug
Administration to market an oral solution formulation of RISPERDAL.

- - 13 -
Due to its ease of administration, RISPERDAL Oral Solution will
provide treatment benefits to a wider range of patients,
particularly the elderly, for whom liquid formulations are
frequently prescribed, and for patients treated in an acute care
setting.
Worldwide sales in the Professional segment increased 19.2%
during the third quarter, with a 22.9% increase in the U.S. and
14.8% internationally. Strong sales growth benefited from the
merger with Cordis as well as the continuing, rapid professional
acceptance of the PALMAZ-SCHATZ Coronary Stent, due to its efficacy
in reducing the incidence of recurring blockage of coronary
arteries following balloon angioplasty. LifeScan's blood glucose
monitoring systems posted strong growth, reflecting the successful
launch of the SureStep System. Vistakon's disposable contact
lenses, Ethicon's sutures, Johnson & Johnson Professional's
orthopaedic implants, and Ethicon Endo-Surgery's minimally invasive
surgical instruments continued to deliver solid growth.
Average shares of common stock outstanding in the first nine
months of 1996 were 1.3 billion, an increase of 41.9 million over
the prior year, due to the 37.2 million shares issued for the
Cordis merger in 1996 and the balance for various acquisitions
using common stock during 1995. Earnings per share figures and
shares outstanding reflect the two-for-one stock split effective
during the second quarter of 1996.





- - 14 -
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and current marketable securities increased $859 million
during the first nine months of 1996 to $2,223 million at September
29, 1996. Total borrowings decreased $208 million during the first
nine months of 1996 to $2,220 million. Net cash (cash and current
securities net of borrowings) was $3 million at September 29, 1996
compared with net debt of $1,064 million at the end of 1995. Total
debt represented 17.2% of total capital (stockholders' equity and
total borrowings) at quarter end compared with 21.2% at the end of
1995.

Additions to property, plant and equipment were $801 million for
the first nine months of 1996, compared with $780 million for the
same period in 1995.

On October 21, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a regular
quarterly dividend of 19 cents per share payable on December 10,
1996 to shareholders of record as of November 19, 1996.
