Research & Development: 

?Research activities represent a significant part of the Company's
business. These expenditures relate to the development of new
products, improvement of existing products, technical support of
products and compliance with governmental regulations for the
protection of the consumer.?

Worldwide costs of research activities, excluding the in-process
research & development charges, were as follows:

 (Millions of Dollars)      2003        2002        2001
---------------------     -------     -------     -------
Research expense          $ 4,684       3,957       3,591
Percent of sales            11.2%       10.9%       11.1%


?Research & development expense as a percent of sales for the
Pharmaceutical segment was 16.4% for 2003, 15.7% for 2002             
                                                         and 16.6% for
2001 while averaging 6.7%, 6.6% and 6.5% in the Consumer and Medical

?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 $4,684, $3,957, and $3,591 million for fiscal years 2003, 2002 and
2001, respectively. These costs are charged directly to income in the
year in which incurred. All research was sponsored by Johnson &

?Consumer segment sales in 2003 were $7.4 billion, or an increase of
13.2%, over 2002 with operational growth accounting for 9.4% of the
total growth and 3.8% due to currency fluctuations. U.S. Consumer
segment sales were $4.0 billion, an increase of 10.1%, while
international sales were $3.4 billion, or an increase of 17.0%, with
8.6% due to operations and 8.4% due to currency fluctuations over
2002. Consumer segment sales growth is attributable to strong sales
performance in the major franchises in this segment including Skin
Care, Baby & Kids Care and the McNeil Consumer over-the-counter
pharmaceutical and nutritional products. The Skin Care franchise sales
in 2003 were $1.8 billion, representing a 14.4% increase over 2002.
This growth was attributed to solid sales in NEUTROGENA brand
products, especially in international markets, and AVEENO brand
products in the facial care line as well as new products launched in
the latter half of 2003. The Baby & Kids Care franchise grew by 12.8%
to $1.3 billion in 2003. Growth in this franchise was led by new
products launched in 2003 including JOHNSON'S SOFTWASH and JOHNSON'S
SOFTLOTION. McNeil Consumer over-the-counter pharmaceutical and
nutritional products sales were $2.0 billion, an increase of 13.6%
over 2002. Contributing to this growth was the continued growth of
SPLENDA brand no calorie sweetener and the increased sales in the
MOTRIN and TYLENOL brand products due to an early and strong cold and
flu season. Another franchise contributing to the overall sales growth
in the Consumer segment was the Women's Health franchise that achieved
sales of $1.4 billion, a 9.6% increase over 2002. Strong growth in the
sanitary protection products in international markets contributed to
the growth in this franchise.?

Research and Development Expenses (R&D) 

?R&D expenses increased 38% in 2003 and 8% in 2002. In 2003,
year-over-year growth for R&D spending is attributable to the
incremental expenditures associated with the consolidation of
Pharmacia-related activity subsequent to the acquisition date and
increased support of the advanced-stage development portfolio,
partially offset by initial cost synergies from Pharmacia-related
restructuring activities. In 2002, growth is attributable to increased
support of the advanced-stage R&D portfolio, higher costs as a result
of the recent expansion of facilities and increased information
technology costs due to the continued implementation of
enterprise-wide resource management systems.?

of foreign exchange. Revenues from this segment contributed 7% of our

**** In 2003, Research and Development expenses were approximately
13.2% of sales.


?Research and development expenses increased 1% for 2003. The increase
was partially due to higher clinical grant spending, primarily in the
field of women's health care and infectious diseases, and higher
cost-sharing expenditures relating to pharmaceutical collaborations
offset, in part, by lower other research operating expenses (including
lower chemical and material costs). Pharmaceuticals research and
development expenditures accounted for 93% of total research and
development expenditures in both 2003 and 2002. Pharmaceuticals
research and development expenses, as a percentage of worldwide
Pharmaceuticals net revenue, exclusive of nutritional sales and
alliance revenue, were 17% and 19% in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The
increase in research and development expenses also was due to higher
expenditures relating to Animal Health line extensions and combination
product projects.?


?Research and development expenses increased 11% for 2002 due
primarily to increased headcount, clinical grant spending,
cost-sharing expenditures relating to pharmaceutical collaborations
and other research operating expenses (including higher chemical and
material costs) offset, in part, by lower payments under licensing
agreements. Pharmaceuticals research and development expenditures
accounted for 93% and 94% of total research and development
expenditures in 2002 and 2001, respectively. Pharmaceuticals research
and development expenses, as a percentage of worldwide Pharmaceuticals
net revenue, exclusive of nutritional sales and alliance revenue, were
