The unaudited financial statements for the fiscal quarter and six months ended July 4, 1999 have been prepared to give retroactive effect to the merger with Centocor on October 6, 1999. The unaudited 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. NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rates for the first half of 2000 and 1999 are 29.6% and 29.2%, 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 21, 2010.

Total comprehensive income includes net earnings, net unrealized currency gains and losses on translation and net unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities. NOTE 8 - ACQUISITIONS During the first quarter, the Company completed the acquisitions of Innovasive Devices and Medtrex. Innovasive Devices manufactures and sells devices for sport medicine surgery for soft tissue injuries. Medtrex develops and manufactures electrosurgical generators (HydrocoolT) and disposable products (EncoreT pencil). 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. - 11 - NOTE 9 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). This standard was amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" and changed the effective date for SFAS 133 to all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS 133". SFAS 133-138 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on the designation of the hedge transaction. For fair value hedge transactions in which the Company is hedging changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument will generally be offset by changes in the hedged item's fair value. For cash flow hedge transactions in which the Company is hedging the variability of cash flows related to a variable rate asset, liability or forecasted transaction, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument will be reported in other comprehensive income. The gains and losses on the derivative instrument that are reported in other comprehensive income will be recognized in earnings in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. The Company will adopt SFAS 133-138 in the first quarter of 2001 and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position. During May 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF Issue No. 00-14, "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives." EITF No. 00-14 addresses the classification of various sales incentives and will be effective for the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company has determined that the adoption of EITF Issue No. 00- 14 will have no effect on its financial position. The Company is in the process of determining the potential effect on its statement of earnings presentation and upon adoption, if necessary, previously issued financial statements may need to be reclassified to conform to the new presentation. - 12 - NOTE 10 - RESTRUCTURING AND SPECIAL CHARGES In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company approved a plan to reconfigure its global network of manufacturing and operating facilities with the objective of enhancing operating efficiencies. This plan is currently underway and is targeted for completion in 2000. Among the initiatives supporting this plan were the closures of inefficient manufacturing facilities, exiting certain businesses which were not providing an acceptable return and related employee separations. The estimated cost of this plan is $613 million. The charge consisted of employee separation costs of $161 million, asset impairments of $322 million, impairments of intangibles of $52 million, and other exit costs of $78 million. Employee separations will occur primarily in manufacturing and operations facilities affected by the plan. The decision to exit certain facilities and businesses decreased expected future cash flows triggering the asset impairment. The amount of impairment of such assets was calculated using discounted cash flows or appraisals. Of the separation costs of $161 million, $3 million were paid in 1998 and $58 million were paid in 1999. With regard to the exit costs of $78 million, $38 million were paid in 1999. Payments made through six months ended July 2, 2000 of these severance and other exit costs are as follows: Remaining Remaining Accrual @ Cash Accrual @ January 2, 2000 Outlays July 2, 2000 Employee Separations $ 100 28 72 Other exit costs: Distributor terminations 11 - 11 Disposal costs 10 3 7 Lease termination 7 7 - Customer compensation 1 1 - Other 11 6 5 Total other costs 40 17 23 $ 140 45 95 The restructuring plan consisted of the reduction of manufacturing facilities around the world by 36, from 159 to 123 plants. None of the assets affected by this plan were held for disposal. Changes in estimates to date have been immaterial. The headcount reduction related to this plan through July 2, 2000 was approximately 2,400 employees. NOTE 11 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The information called for by this footnote is incorporated herein by reference to Item 1 ("Legal Proceedings") included in Part II of this Report on Form 10-Q. - 13 - Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SALES AND EARNINGS Consolidated sales for the first six months of 2000 were $14.83 billion, which exceeded sales of $13.71 billion for the first six months of 1999 by 8.1%. The strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currencies decreased sales for the first six months of 2000 by 2.5%. Excluding the effect of the stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, sales increased 10.6% on an operational basis for the first six months of 2000. Consolidated net earnings for the first six months of 2000 were $2.65 billion, compared with net earnings of $2.30 billion for the first six months of 1999. Other income and expense reflects gains related to the sale of certain equity securities. Also included in other income and expense is the write-down of certain intangible assets to their realizable market value. Worldwide basic net earnings per share for the first six months of 2000 were $1.90, compared with $1.66 for the same period in 1999, an increase of 14.5%. Worldwide diluted net earnings per share for the first six months of 2000 were $1.87, compared with $1.62 for the same period in 1999, an increase of 15.4% Consolidated sales for the second quarter of 2000 were $7.51 billion, an increase of 7.7% over 1999 second quarter sales of $6.97 billion. The effect of the stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies decreased second quarter sales by 2.5%. Consolidated net earnings for the second quarter of 2000 were $1.33 billion, compared with $1.16 billion for the same period a year ago, an increase of 14.3%. Worldwide basic net earnings per share for the second quarter of 2000 rose 13.1% to $.95, compared with $.84 in the 1999 period. Worldwide diluted net earnings per share for the second quarter of 2000 rose 14.6% to $.94, compared with $.82 in 1999. Domestic sales for the first six months of 2000 were $8.59 billion, an increase of 12.2% over 1999 domestic sales of $7.65 billion for the same period a year ago. Sales by international subsidiaries were $6.24 billion for the first six months of 2000 compared with $6.06 billion for the same period a year ago, an increase of 3.0%. Excluding the impact of the stronger value of the dollar, international sales increased by 8.6%. - 14 - Worldwide Consumer segment sales for the second quarter of 2000 were $1.71 billion, an increase of 1.2% versus the same period a year ago. Domestic sales were up 3.3% while international sales gains in local currency of 5.0% were offset by a negative currency impact of 6.1%. Consumer sales were led by continued strength in the skin care franchise, which includes the NEUTROGENA, RoC and CLEAN & CLEAR product lines. During the quarter, the Company launched MOTRIN Migraine Pain, the first over-the-counter ibuprofen- based treatment proven effective for migraine headache pain. Worldwide pharmaceutical sales of $3.22 billion for the quarter increased 13.9% over the same period in 1999, including 23.6% growth in domestic sales and a 1.2% decrease in international sales. International sales gains in local currency of 5.6% were offset by a negative currency impact of 6.8%. Sales growth reflects the strong performance of PROCRIT/EPREX, for the treatment of anemia; RISPERDAL, an antipsychotic medication; DURAGESIC, a transdermal patch for chronic pain; LEVAQUIN, an anti-infective; ULTRAM, an analgesic; REMICADE, a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease, and the oral contraceptive line of products. PROPULSID (cisapride, sold outside the United States as PREPULSID), a gastrointestinal prokinetic, experienced an anticipated decline in sales. In March, the Company announced a limited-access program for PROPULSID and that the product would not longer be marketed in the United States. In Europe, the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) has initiated an Article 12 procedure to review the benefit/risk of PREPULSID. The product license has also been temporarily suspended in a number of European countries pending the outcome of the EMEA review. As a result of these actions, the Company has recorded reserves related to inventory and sales returns. During the quarter, the Company received approval from the European regulatory authority for REMICADE (infliximab) with methotrexate for the reduction of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. REMICADE is the first of a new class of agents that neutralize a key inflammatory mediator called TNF-alpha. On July 12, 2000 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Arthritis Advisory Committee unanimously recommended approval of an additional claim for the use of REMICADE (infliximab) with methotrexate for the reduction of joint damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. - 15 - On July 12, 2000 the Company also announced that REMINYL (galantamine), a new treatment for mild to moderately severe Alzheimer's disease, successfully completed the European Mutual Recognition Process. Thirteen European countries, as well as Norway and Iceland, have mutually agreed to recognize the earlier approval of REMINYL by the Reference Member State, Sweden. REMINYL has been shown to significantly benefit the cognitive, functional and behavioral symptoms of patients with the disease. Professional segment sales in the second quarter increased over the same period in the prior year by 5.1% to $2.58 billion with domestic and international sales of 3.4% and 7.0% respectively. International sales gains in local currency of 11.1% were partially offset by a negative currency impact of 4.1%. Strong sales performances by DePuy's orthopaedic joint reconstruction and spinal products; Ethicon Endo-Surgery's minimally invasive surgical products; Cordis' coronary and endovascular stents; Ethicon's Mitek suture anchors and Gynecare's women's health products, and Vistakon's disposable contact lens products were the primary contributors to the Professional segment growth. During the quarter, the Company received FDA approval to market its new BX VELOCITY Coronary Artery Stent for the treatment of abrupt or threatened closure of arteries. The launch of the BX VELOCITY has been very well received. The Company also received European approval for its new heparin-coated BX VELOCITY Coronary Stent utilizing a proprietary coating, Hepacoat. Heparin is a safe, effective pharmaceutical agent widely used for reducing or helping to prevent clotting. - 16 - In addition, on June 19, 2000, an FDA advisory panel unanimously recommended approval of the Company's CHECKMATE Intravascular Brachytherapy System for gamma radiation treatment of patients with in-stent restenosis, a complication associated with coronary artery disease. The CHECKMATE System, currently undergoing expedited review at the FDA, is the first of its kind to be recommended by an FDA panel for approval. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and current marketable securities increased $620 million during the first six months of 2000 to $4,499 million at July 2, 2000. Total borrowings decreased $952 million during the first six months of 2000 to $3,304 million. Net cash (cash and current marketable securities net of debt) as of July 2, 2000 was $1,195 million.

For the period ended July 2, 2000, there were no material cash commitments. Additions to property, plant and equipment were $672 million for the first six months of 2000, compared with $682 million for the same period in 1999.

Forward- looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and anticipate results based on management's plans that are subject to uncertainty. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words like "plans," "expects," "will," "anticipates," "estimates" and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things, discussions of future operations, financial performance, the Company's strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approvals, market position and expenditures. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events. The Company cannot guarantee that any forward- looking statement will be accurate, although the Company believes that it has been reasonable in its expectations and assumptions. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the Company's expectations and projections. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Furthermore, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000 contains, in Exhibit 99(b), a discussion of various factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations. That Exhibit from the Form 10-K is incorporated in this filing by reference. The Company notes these factors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. - 18 - Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk There has been no material change in the Company's assessment of its sensitivity to market risk since its presentation set forth in Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000. Part II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company is involved in numerous product liability cases in the United States, many of which concern adverse reactions to drugs and medical devices. The damages claimed are substantial, and while the Company is confident of the adequacy of the warnings and instructions for use which accompany such products, it is not feasible to predict the ultimate outcome of litigation. However, the Company believes that if any liability results from such cases, it will be substantially covered by reserves established under its self-insurance program and by commercially available excess liability insurance. The Company, along with numerous other pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors, is a defendant in a large number of individual and class actions brought by retail pharmacies in state and federal courts under the antitrust laws. These cases assert price discrimination and price-fixing violations resulting from an alleged industry-wide agreement to deny retail pharmacists price discounts on sales of brand name prescription drugs. The Company believes the claims against the Company in these actions are without merit and is defending them vigorously. The Company's subsidiary, Johnson & Johnson Vision Care Inc. (Vision Care), together with another contact lens manufacturer, a trade association and various individual defendants, is a defendant in several consumer class actions and an action brought by multiple State Attorneys General on behalf of consumers alleging violations of federal and state antitrust laws. These cases, which were filed between July 1994 and December 1996 and are consolidated before the United States district Court for the Middle District of Florida, assert that enforcement of Vision Care's long-standing policy of selling contact lenses only to licensed eye care professionals is a result of an unlawful conspiracy to eliminate alternative distribution channels from the disposable contact lens market. The Company believes that these actions are without merit and is defending them vigorously. - 19 - Johnson & Johnson Vision Care is also a defendant in a nationwide consumer class action brought on behalf of purchasers of its ACUVUE brand contact lenses. The plaintiffs in that action, which was filed in 1996 in New Jersey State Court, allege that Vision Care sold its 1-DAY ACUVUE lens at a substantially cheaper price than ACUVUE and misled consumers into believing these were different lenses when, in fact, they were allegedly "the same lenses." Plaintiffs are seeking substantial damages and an injunction against supposed improper conduct. The Company believes these claims are without merit and is defending the action vigorously. The Company's Ortho Biotech subsidiary is party to an arbitration proceeding filed against it in 1995 by Amgen, Ortho Biotech's licensor of U.S. non-dialysis rights to EPO, in which Amgen seeks to terminate Ortho Biotech's U.S. license rights and collect substantial damages based on alleged deliberate EPO sales by Ortho Biotech during the early 1990's into Amgen's reserved dialysis market. The Company believes no basis exists for terminating Ortho Biotech's U.S. license rights or for obtaining damages and is vigorously contesting Amgen's claims. However, Ortho Biotech's U.S. license rights to EPO are material to the Company; thus, an unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. The Company is also involved in a number of patent, trademark and other lawsuits incidental to its business. The Company believes that the above proceedings, except as noted above, would not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position. - 20 - Item 4.

Other Information Testimony in Amgen`s patent infringement trial in Boston, Massachusetts against Transkaryotic Therapies, Inc. (TKT), the developer of a gene-activated EPO product, and Aventis S.A., which holds marketing rights to the TKT product, should conclude in September. TKT and Aventis are seeking to invalidate the Amgen patents asserted against them, which patents are exclusively licensed to Ortho Biotech in the U.S. for non-dialysis indications. Ortho Biotech is not a party to the action and is not in a position to express views as to its probable outcome. Item 6.
