PART I
 
Item 1.  BUSINESS
 
General
 
Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries have approximately 115,500 employees worldwide engaged in the research and development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of products in the health care field. Johnson & Johnson is a holding company, which has more than 250 operating companies conducting business in virtually all countries of the world. Johnson & Johnson’s primary focus has been on products related to human health and well-being. Johnson & Johnson was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1887.
 
The Company’s structure is based 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 where it is located.
 
Segments of Business
 
Johnson & Johnson’s operating companies are organized into three business 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 the captions “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” on pages 26 through 35 and Note 18 “Segments of Business and Geographic Areas” under “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” on page 55 of the Annual Report, filed as Exhibit 13 to this Report on Form 10-K.
 
Consumer
 
The Consumer segment includes a broad range of products used in the baby care, skin care, oral care, wound care and women’s health care fields, as well as nutritional and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products, and wellness and prevention platforms. The Baby Care franchise includes the JOHNSON’S® Baby line of products. Major brands in the Skin Care franchise include the AVEENO®; CLEAN & CLEAR®; JOHNSON’S® Adult; NEUTROGENA®; RoC®; LUBRIDERM®; Dabao; and Vendôme product lines. The Oral Care franchise includes the LISTERINE® and REACH® oral care lines of products. The Wound Care franchise includes BAND-AID® brand adhesive bandages and PURELL® instant hand sanitizer products. Major brands in the Women’s Health franchise are the CAREFREE® Pantiliners; STAYFREE® sanitary protection products; and Vania Expansion products. The nutritional and over-the-counter lines include SPLENDA®, No Calorie Sweetener; the broad family of TYLENOL® acetaminophen products; SUDAFED® cold, flu and allergy products; ZYRTEC® allergy products; MOTRIN® IB ibuprofen products; and PEPCID® AC Acid Controller from Johnson & Johnson • Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co. These products are marketed to the general public and sold both to retail outlets and distributors throughout the world.
 
Pharmaceutical
 
The Pharmaceutical segment includes products in the following therapeutic areas: anti-infective, antipsychotic, cardiovascular, contraceptive, dermatology, gastrointestinal, hematology, immunology, neurology, oncology, pain management, urology and virology. These products are distributed directly to retailers, wholesalers and health care professionals for prescription use. Key products in the Pharmaceutical segment include: REMICADE® (infliximab), a biologic approved for the treatment of a number of immune mediated inflammatory diseases; PROCRIT® (Epoetin alfa, sold outside the U.S. as EPREX®), a biotechnology-derived product that stimulates red blood cell production; LEVAQUIN® (levofloxacin) in the anti-infective field; RISPERDAL® CONSTA® (risperidone), a long-acting injectable for the treatment of schizophrenia; CONCERTA® (methylphenidate HCl), a product for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; ACIPHEX®/PARIET®, a proton pump inhibitor co-marketed with Eisai Inc.; DURAGESIC®/Fentanyl Transdermal (fentanyl transdermal system, sold outside the U.S. as DUROGESIC®), a treatment for chronic pain that offers a novel delivery system; VELCADE® (bortezomib), a product for the treatment for multiple myeloma; PREZISTA® (darunavir) for the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients; and INVEGA® (paliperidone), a once-daily atypical antipsychotic.

Medical Devices and Diagnostics
 
The Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment includes a broad range of products distributed to wholesalers, hospitals and retailers, used principally in the professional fields by physicians, nurses, therapists, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories and clinics. These products include Cordis’ circulatory disease management products; DePuy’s orthopaedic joint reconstruction, spinal care and sports medicine products; Ethicon’s surgical care, aesthetics and women’s health products; Ethicon Endo-Surgery’s minimally invasive surgical products; LifeScan’s blood glucose monitoring and insulin delivery products; Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics’ professional diagnostic 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 59 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 “— Segments of 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 developed in the United States, but also those 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 and its subsidiaries have made a practice of obtaining patent protection on their products and processes where possible. They own or are licensed under a number of patents relating to their products and manufacturing processes, which in the aggregate are believed to be of material importance to Johnson & Johnson in the operation of its businesses. Sales of the Company’s largest product, REMICADE® (infliximab), accounted for approximately 7% of Johnson & Johnson’s total revenues for fiscal 2009. Accordingly, the patents related to this product are believed to be material to Johnson & Johnson.
 
During 2007 through 2009, RISPERDAL® (risperidone) oral and TOPAMAX® (topiramate) lost basic patent protection and market exclusivity and became subject to generic competition in the United States and international markets. RISPERDAL® oral sales declined by 57.7% and 37.8% in 2009 and 2008, respectively. TOPAMAX® lost market exclusivity in March 2009 and sales declined by 57.9% as compared to 2008. The next significant patent scheduled to expire on December 20, 2010 is for LEVAQUIN® (levofloxacin), which accounted for 2.5% of the Company’s 2009 sales. A pediatric extension for LEVAQUIN® was granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), which extends market exclusivity in the United States through June 20, 2011.
 
Johnson & Johnson’s operating companies have made a practice of selling their products under trademarks and of obtaining protection for these trademarks by all available means. These trademarks are protected by registration in the United States and other countries where such products are marketed. Johnson & Johnson considers these trademarks in the aggregate to be of material importance in the operation of its businesses.
 
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 and development activity.

Competition
 
In all of their product lines, Johnson & Johnson’s operating companies compete with companies both large and small, and both local and global, located throughout the world. Competition exists in all product lines without regard to the number and size of the competing companies involved. Competition in research, involving the development and the improvement of new and existing products and processes, is particularly significant. The development of new and innovative products is important to Johnson & Johnson’s success in all areas of its business. This also includes protecting the Company’s portfolio of intellectual property. The competitive environment requires substantial investments in continuing research and in maintaining sales forces. In addition, the development and maintenance of customer demand for the Company’s consumer products involves significant expenditures for advertising and promotion.
 
Research and Development
 
Research activities represent a significant part of Johnson & Johnson’s subsidiaries’ businesses. Major research facilities are located not only in the United States, but also in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore and the United Kingdom. The costs of worldwide Company-sponsored research activities relating to the development of new products, improvement of existing products, technical support of products and compliance with governmental regulations for the protection of consumers and patients (excluding purchased in-process research and development charges for fiscal 2008 and 2007), amounted to $7.0 billion, $7.6 billion and $7.7 billion for fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These costs are charged directly to expense, or directly against income, in the year in which incurred.
 
Environment
 
Johnson & Johnson’s operating companies are subject to a variety of U.S. and international 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 during the past year, 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 businesses are subject to varying degrees of governmental regulation in the countries in which operations are conducted, and the general trend is toward increasingly stringent regulation. In the United States, the drug, device, diagnostics and cosmetic industries have long been subject to regulation by various federal and state agencies, primarily as to product safety, efficacy, manufacturing, advertising, labeling and safety reporting. The exercise of broad regulatory powers by 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 are also evident in major markets outside of the United States.
 
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 around the world. 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, use or purchase particular medical devices. Payers have become a more potent force in the market place and increased attention is being paid to drug and medical device pricing, appropriate drug and medical device utilization and the quality and costs of health care.
 
The regulatory agencies under whose purview Johnson & Johnson’s operating companies operate have administrative powers that may subject those companies to such actions as product withdrawals, recalls, seizure of products and other civil and criminal sanctions. In some cases, Johnson & Johnson’s operating companies may deem it advisable to initiate product recalls.
 
In addition, business practices in the health care industry have come under increased scrutiny, particularly in the United States, by government agencies and state attorneys general, and resulting investigations and prosecutions carry the risk of significant civil and criminal penalties.

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 9.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 9A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  At the end of the period covered by this report, 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 information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. William C. Weldon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Dominic J. Caruso, Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, Messrs. Weldon and Caruso concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
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 external financial statements 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 3, 2010. 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 3, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 2010 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 64 of the Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference and filed as Exhibit 13 to this Report on Form 10-K.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  During the fiscal quarter ended January 3, 2010, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such referred to above in this Item 9A that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The stock options were granted at an exercise price of $62.62, at the “fair market value” (calculated as the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange) on February 8, 2010. The options will become exercisable on February 9, 2013 and expire on February 7, 2020. The RSUs will vest on February 9, 2013, upon which, the holder, if still employed by the Company on such date, will receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock for each RSU.
 
                 
Mr. Weldon
    586,873 stock options       48,906 RSUs  
Mr. Caruso

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards:
 
The Compensation Committee has approved the following non-equity incentive plan awards in recognition of performance during 2009 under the Company’s Certificates of Long-Term Performance (“CLP”) program. Vested awards are not paid out until the earlier of ten years from the date of grant or retirement or other termination of employment. As of the grant date, the defined present value per CLP was $4.69. The CLP unit value will vary over time based on the performance of the Company.
 
                 
Mr. Weldon
    1,471,215       CLPs  
Mr. Caruso
    383,795       CLPs

    319,830       CLPs  
Ms. Goggins
    383,795       CLPs  
Ms. McCoy
    469,085       CLPs  
 
Due to the change in the planning basis of CLP awards from a vesting-based approach under the Certificates of Long-term Compensation Plan (the “CLC Plan”) to a grant-based approach under the new CLP Plan, which replaced the CLC Plan effective February 2010, certain executives were adversely impacted. The Committee approved selected one-time CLP awards to transition these executives to the new CLP Plan:
 
                 
Mr. Caruso
    148,400       CLPs  
Mr. Deyo
    426,440       CLPs  
Ms. Goggins
    211,430       CLPs  
 
Equity Compensation for Non-Employee Directors
 
Each Non-Employee Director receives non-retainer equity compensation in the first quarter of each year under the LTI Plan in the form of shares of restricted Common Stock having a fair market value of $100,000 on the grant date. Accordingly, each Non-Employee Director was granted 1,596 shares of restricted Common Stock under the LTI Plan on February 8, 2010. The restricted shares will become freely transferable on February 8, 2013.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Organization and Business Segments
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have approximately 115,500 employees worldwide engaged in the research and development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of products in the health care field. The Company conducts business in virtually all countries of the world with the primary focus on products related to human health and well-being.
     The Company is organized into three business segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices and Diagnostics. The Consumer segment includes a broad range of products used in the baby care, skin care, oral care, wound care and women’s health care fields, as well as nutritional and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products. These products are marketed to the general public and sold both to retail outlets and distributors throughout the world. The Pharmaceutical segment includes products in the following therapeutic areas: anti-infective, antipsychotic, cardiovascular, contraceptive, dermatology, gastrointestinal, hematology, immunology, neurology, oncology, pain management, urology and virology. These products are distributed directly to retailers, wholesalers and health care professionals for prescription use. The Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment includes a broad range of products used principally in the professional fields by physicians, nurses, therapists, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories and clinics. These products include Cordis’ circulatory disease management products; DePuy’s orthopaedic joint reconstruction, spinal care and sports medicine products; Ethicon’s surgical care, aesthetics and women’s health products; Ethicon Endo-Surgery’s minimally invasive surgical products; LifeScan’s blood glucose monitoring and insulin delivery products; Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics’ professional diagnostic products and Vistakon’s disposable contact lenses.
     The Company’s structure is based upon 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.
     In all of its product lines, the Company competes with companies both local and global, located throughout the world. Competition exists in all product lines without regard to the number and size of the competing companies involved. Competition in research, involving the development and the improvement of new and existing products and processes, is particularly significant. The development of new and innovative products is important to the Company’s success in all areas of its business. This also includes protecting the Company’s portfolio of intellectual property. The competitive environment requires substantial investments in continuing research and in maintaining sales forces. In addition, the development and maintenance of customer demand for the Company’s consumer products involves significant expenditures for advertising and promotion.
MANAGEMENT’S OBJECTIVES
A primary objective of the Company is to achieve superior levels of capital efficient profitable growth. To accomplish this, the Company’s management operates the business consistent with certain strategic principles that have proven successful over time. To this end, the Company participates in growth areas in human health care and is committed to attaining leadership positions in these growth areas through the development of innovative products and services. New products introduced within the past five years accounted for approximately 25% of 2009 sales. In 2009, $7.0 billion, or 11.3% of sales, was invested in research and development. This investment reflects management’s commitment to the importance of ongoing development of new and differentiated products and services to sustain long-term growth.
     With more than 250 operating companies located in 60 countries, the Company views its principle of decentralized management as an asset and fundamental to the success of a broadly based business. It also fosters an entrepreneurial spirit, combining the extensive resources of a large organization with the ability to react quickly to local market changes and challenges.
     The Company is committed to developing global business leaders who can drive growth objectives. Businesses are managed for the long-term in order to sustain leadership positions and achieve growth that provides an enduring source of value to our shareholders.
     Unifying the management team and the Company’s dedicated employees in achieving these objectives is Our Credo. Our Credo provides a common set of values and serves as a constant reminder of the Company’s responsibilities to its customers, employees, communities and shareholders. The Company believes that these basic principles, along with its overall mission of improving the quality of life for people everywhere, will enable Johnson & Johnson to continue to be among the leaders in the health care industry.
Results of Operations
ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED SALES
In 2009, worldwide sales decreased 2.9% to $61.9 billion, compared to increases of 4.3% in 2008 and 14.6% in 2007. These sales changes consisted of the following:
                         
Sales (decrease)/increase due to:   2009     2008     2007

Total
    (2.9 )%     4.3       14.6  
     
Sales by U.S. companies were $30.9 billion in 2009, $32.3 billion in 2008 and $32.4 billion in 2007. This represents a decrease of 4.4% in 2009, a decrease of 0.4% in 2008 and an increase of 9.0% in 2007. Sales by international companies were $31.0 billion in 2009, $31.4 billion in 2008 and $28.7 billion in 2007. This represents a decrease of 1.4% in 2009 and increases of 9.7% and 21.7% in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

     The five-year compound annual growth rates for worldwide, U.S. and international sales were 5.5%, 2.2% and 9.6%, respectively. The ten-year compound annual growth rates for worldwide, U.S. and international sales were 8.5%, 7.1% and 10.1%, respectively.
(BAR GRAPH)
     Sales in Europe experienced a decline of 5.1% including operational growth of 2.1% and a negative impact from currency of 7.2%. Sales in the Western Hemisphere (excluding the U.S.) experienced a decline of 0.3% including operational growth of 8.8% and a negative impact from currency of 9.1%. Sales in the Asia-Pacific, Africa region achieved growth of 4.6%, including operational growth of 4.4% and an increase of 0.2% related to the positive impact of currency.
     In 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not have a customer that represented 10% or more of total consolidated revenues.
     2009 results benefited from the inclusion of a 53rd week. (See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Annual Closing Date details). The Company estimated that the fiscal year 2009 growth rate was enhanced by approximately 0.5%. While the additional week added a few days to sales, it also added a full week’s worth of operating costs; therefore, the net earnings impact was negligible.

Analysis of Sales by Business Segments
CONSUMER SEGMENT
Consumer segment sales in 2009 were $15.8 billion, a decrease of 1.6% from 2008 with 2.0% of this change due to operational growth and negative currency impact of 3.6%. U.S. Consumer segment sales were $6.8 billion, a decrease of 1.4%. International sales were $9.0 billion, a decrease of 1.7%, with growth of 4.7% achieved by operations and a decrease of 6.4% resulting from the negative impact of currency fluctuations.
     The Over-the-Counter (OTC) Pharmaceuticals and Nutritionals franchise sales were $5.6 billion, a decrease of 4.5% from 2008. This was primarily due to the negative impact of currency and lower sales of the over-the-counter ZYRTEC® allergy product line related to the initial build of inventory by the trade during the 2008 launch year. This was partially offset by sales growth in the SPLENDA® sweetener product line. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently considering certain recommendations made by its advisory committee for reducing the potential for overdose with acetaminophen, the active ingredient in TYLENOL® brand products. The Company has provided the FDA with its own recommendations and will continue to be actively engaged with the FDA on this topic. In December 2009, the Company announced a voluntary recall of all lots of TYLENOL® Arthritis Pain 100 count with EZ-OPEN CAP following reports of an uncharacteristic smell; however, there was an insignificant impact on sales. In January 2010, the Company has undertaken a broader voluntary recall of TYLENOL® and certain OTC products as a precautionary action.
     The Skin Care franchise sales grew by 2.5% to $3.5 billion in 2009. The sales growth was primarily due to the AVEENO®, NEUTROGENA®, and DABAO™ skin care lines. The Baby Care franchise sales were $2.1 billion, a decrease of 4.5% primarily due to the negative impact of currency and lower sales for Babycenter.com as a result of exiting the online retail business, partially offset by growth in the haircare product line. The Women’s Health franchise sales were $1.9 billion, a decrease of 0.8% primarily due to the negative impact of currency partially offset by increased sales associated with the acquisition of a joint venture partner in France in the fiscal

first quarter of 2009. Prior to the acquisition of the joint venture partner, sales by the joint venture were not recorded as part of the Company’s sales to customers. The Oral Care franchise sales were $1.6 billion, a decrease of 3.4% due to softness in the category in the U.S., partially offset by growth of LISTERINE® mouthwash outside the U.S. The Wound Care/Other franchise sales grew by 9.4% to $1.1 billion primarily due to the recent acquisitions in the Wellness and Prevention platform and strong sales of PURELL® hand sanitizer.
     Consumer segment sales in 2008 were $16.0 billion, an increase of 10.8% over 2007 with 8.3% of this change due to operational growth and the remaining 2.5% due to positive currency fluctuations. U.S. Consumer segment sales were $6.9 billion, an increase of 8.3%. International sales were $9.1 billion, an increase of 12.8%, with 8.3% as a result of operations and 4.5% due to currency fluctuations over 2007.
PHARMACEUTICAL SEGMENT
Pharmaceutical segment sales in 2009 were $22.5 billion, a decrease of 8.3% from 2008, with an operational decline of 6.1% and the remaining 2.2% due to the negative impact of currency fluctuations. U.S. sales were $13.0 billion, a decrease of 12.1%. International sales were $9.5 billion, a decrease of 2.6%, which included 3.0% operational growth and a decrease of 5.6% resulting from the negative impact of currency fluctuations.
     REMICADE® (infliximab), a biologic approved for the treatment of a number of immune mediated inflammatory diseases, achieved sales of $4.3 billion in 2009, with growth of 14.8% over the prior year primarily attributable to strong overall market growth. REMICADE® is competing in a market which is experiencing increased competition due to new entrants and the expansion of indications for existing competitors.
     PROCRIT® (Epoetin alfa) and EPREX® (Epoetin alfa) had combined sales of $2.2 billion in 2009, a decline of 8.7% compared to the prior year. Lower sales of PROCRIT® and EPREX® were due to the declining markets for Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agents (ESAs).
     LEVAQUIN® (levofloxacin)/FLOXIN® (ofloxacin) sales were $1.6 billion, a decline of 2.6% versus the prior year, due to competition in the category. The patent for LEVAQUIN® (levofloxacin) in the U.S. will expire in December 2010. A pediatric extension was granted by the FDA, which extends market exclusivity in the U.S. through June 2011. The expiration of the product patent or loss of market exclusivity is likely to result in a significant reduction in sales.
     RISPERDAL® CONSTA® (risperidone), a long-acting injectable for the treatment of schizophrenia, achieved sales of $1.4 billion in 2009, representing an increase of 8.9% as compared to the prior year. The growth was due to a positive shift from daily therapies to longer-acting RISPERDAL® CONSTA® and the launch of RISPERDAL® CONSTA® in Japan earlier in the year.
     CONCERTA® (methylphenidate HCl), a product for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), achieved sales of $1.3 billion in 2009, representing an increase of 6.3% over 2008. Sales results in 2008 were favorably impacted by approximately $115 million related to a change in the estimate of accrued sales reserves related to sales outside the U.S. Although the original CONCERTA® patent expired in 2004, the FDA has not approved any generic version that is substitutable for CONCERTA®. Parties have filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) for generic versions of CONCERTA®, which are pending and may be approved at any time. An approval would lead to a loss of exclusivity and is likely to result in a significant reduction in sales.
     TOPAMAX® (topiramate), RISPERDAL® (risperidone), and DURAGESIC®/Fentanyl Transdermal (fentanyl transdermal system) experienced sales declines in 2009 of 57.9%, 57.7% and 14.3%, respectively, versus the prior year due to generic competition. Market exclusivity in the U.S. expired for TOPAMAX® (topiramate) in March 2009, RISPERDAL® oral in June 2008 and DURAGESIC® in January 2005.
     ACIPHEX®/PARIET® (rabeprazole sodium) experienced a sales decline of 5.4% due to competition in the category.
     In 2009, Other Pharmaceutical sales were $7.6 billion, representing a growth of 6.6% over the prior year. Contributors to the increase were sales of VELCADE® (bortezomib), a product for the treatment of multiple myeloma; PREZISTA® (darunavir), for the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients; INTELENCE™ (etravirine), for HIV combination therapy and INVEGA® (paliperidone), a once-daily atypical antipsychotic. The growth was partially offset by the impact of a generic version of ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN® LO shipped by a competitor. Subsequently, the generic manufacturer recognized the validity of the patent, paid damages for its infringing sales and ceased further shipments of the product.
     During 2009, the Company received regulatory approval for several new molecular entities (NMEs), including STELARA™ (ustekinumab) in the U.S. and European Union (EU) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis; INVEGA® SUSTENNA™ (paliperidone palmitate) extended-release injectable suspension in the U.S. for the acute and maintenance treatment of schizophrenia; SIMPONI™ (golimumab) in the U.S. and EU for the treatment of moderate-to-severe, active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), active and progressive psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and severe, active ankylosing spondylitis (AS); and PRILIGY™ (dapoxetine) in several countries for the on-demand treatment of premature ejaculation.

of moderate to severe acute pain, was also launched in the U.S. in 2009.

     The DePuy franchise achieved sales of $5.4 billion in 2009, a 4.6% increase over the prior year. This was primarily due to growth in the spine, hip and knee product lines. Additionally, new product launches in the Mitek sports medicine product line contributed to the growth.
     The Ethicon Endo-Surgery franchise achieved sales of $4.5 billion in 2009, a 4.8% increase over the prior year. This was attributable to growth in the endoscopy, HARMONIC®, ENSEAL® and Advanced Sterilization product lines.
     The Ethicon franchise achieved sales of $4.1 billion in 2009, a 7.3% increase over the prior year. This was attributable to growth in the sutures, biosurgical and mesh product lines in addition to sales of newly acquired products from the acquisitions of Omrix Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. and Mentor Corporation. The growth was partially offset by the divestiture of the Professional Wound Care business of Ethicon, Inc. in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2008.
     Sales in the Cordis franchise were $2.7 billion, a decline of 10.3% versus the prior year. The decline reflects lower sales of the CYPHER® Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent due to increased global competition. The decline was partially offset by growth of the Biosense Webster business.
     The Vision Care franchise achieved sales of $2.5 billion in 2009, a 0.2% increase over prior year primarily related to growth in the Astigmatic contact lens product line offset by the negative impact of currency.
     Sales in the Diabetes Care franchise were $2.4 billion in 2009, a decline of 3.7% versus the prior year. Declines in the LifeScan product line were partially offset by growth of the Animas insulin delivery business resulting from new product launches and continued development in international markets.
     The Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics franchise achieved sales of $2.0 billion in 2009, a 6.6% increase over the prior year primarily attributable to the recent launch of the VITROS® 3600 and 5600 analyzers.
     The Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment achieved sales of $23.1 billion in 2008, representing an increase of 6.4% over the prior year, with operational growth of 3.5% and 2.9% due to a positive impact from currency fluctuations. U.S. sales were $10.5 billion, an increase of 1.0%. International sales were $12.6 billion, an increase of 11.3%, with 5.8% from operations and a positive currency impact of 5.5%.
Analysis of Consolidated Earnings Before Provision for Taxes on Income
Consolidated earnings before provision for taxes on income decreased by $1.1 billion to $15.8 billion in 2009 as compared to the $16.9 billion earned in 2008, a decrease of 6.9%. The decrease was primarily related to lower sales, the negative impact of product mix, lower interest income due to lower rates of interest earned and restructuring charges of $1.2 billion. This was partially offset by lower selling, marketing and administrative expenses due to cost containment efforts across all the businesses. 2008 included purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D) charges of $0.2 billion and increased investment spending in selling, marketing and administrative expenses utilized from the proceeds associated with the divestiture of the Professional Wound Care business of Ethicon, Inc. The increase in 2008 of 27.4% over the $13.3 billion in 2007 was primarily due to lower IPR&D charges of $0.6 billion, gains from divestitures of $0.5 billion and higher litigation gains of $0.5 billion versus restructuring charges of $0.7 billion and the write-down of the NATRECOR® intangible asset of $0.7 billion recorded in 2007. As a percent to sales, consolidated

earnings before provision for taxes on income in 2009 was 25.4% versus 26.5% in 2008.
     The sections that follow highlight the significant components of the changes in consolidated earnings before provision for taxes on income.
Cost of Products Sold and Selling, Marketing and Administrative Expenses: Cost of products sold and selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percent to sales were as follows:

    (1.7 )     0.2       0.8  
In 2009, cost of products sold as a percent to sales increased primarily due to the continued negative impact of product mix and inventory write-offs associated with the restructuring activity. Additionally, 2008 included some non-recurring positive items. There was a decrease in the percent to sales of selling, marketing and administrative expenses in 2009 primarily due to cost containment efforts across all the businesses and the annualized savings recognized from the 2007 restructuring program. Additionally, 2008 utilized the proceeds associated with the divestiture of the Professional Wound Care business of Ethicon, Inc. to fund increased investment spending.
     In 2008, cost of products sold as a percent to sales remained flat to the prior year. The change in the mix of businesses, with higher sales growth in the Consumer business and a slight sales decline in the Pharmaceutical business, had a negative impact on the cost of products sold as a percent to sales. In 2008, this was offset by manufacturing efficiencies and non-recurring positive items in 2008 and negative items in 2007. There was an increase in the percent to sales of selling, marketing and administrative expenses in 2008 primarily due to the change in the mix of businesses, whereby a greater proportion of sales were attributable to the Consumer segment, which has higher selling, marketing and administrative spending. Additionally, in 2008 the Company utilized the gain associated with the divestiture of the Professional Wound Care business of Ethicon, Inc. to fund increased investment spending. This was partially offset by ongoing cost containment efforts.
     In 2007, there was an increase in the percent to sales of cost of products sold primarily due to the impact of newly acquired consumer brands. There was an increase in the percent to sales of selling, marketing and administrative expenses in 2007 primarily due to the impact of newly acquired consumer brands partially offset by cost containment efforts.
Research and Development expense (excluding purchased in-process research and development charges) by segment of business was as follows:

Research and Development Expense: Research and development 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 consumers and patients.
     In 2009 and 2008, the reduction in the Pharmaceutical research and development spending was primarily due to increased efficiencies in Pharmaceutical research and development activities.
Restructuring: In 2009, the Company announced global restructuring initiatives that are expected to generate pre-tax, annual cost savings of $1.4 – $1.7 billion when fully implemented in 2011, with $0.8 – $0.9 billion expected to be achieved in 2010. The associated savings will provide additional resources to invest in new growth platforms; ensure the successful launch of the Company’s many new products and continued growth of the core businesses; and provide flexibility to adjust to the changed and evolving global environment. In the fiscal fourth quarter of 2009 the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $1.2 billion, of which $113 million is included in cost of products sold.
     The restructuring program announced in 2007 has been completed. See Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details related to the restructuring.
Purchased In-Process Research and Development: In 2009, in accordance with U.S. GAAP for business combinations, purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D) is no longer expensed but capitalized and tested for impairment. The Company capitalized $1.7 billion of IPR&D in 2009, primarily associated with the acquisitions of Cougar Biotechnology, Inc. and substantially all of the assets and rights of Elan’s Immunotherapy program.
     In 2008, the Company recorded a charge for IPR&D of $181 million before and after tax related to the acquisitions of Amic AB, SurgRx, Inc., HealthMedia, Inc. and Omrix Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. HealthMedia, Inc, a privately held company that creates web-based behavior change interventions, accounted for $7 million before tax of the IPR&D charges and was included in the operating profit of the Consumer segment. The IPR&D charges for all of the following acquisitions were included in the operating profit of the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment. Amic AB, a Swedish developer of in vitro diagnostic technologies for use in point-of-care and near-patient settings (outside the physical facilities of the clinical laboratory), accounted for $40 million before tax of the IPR&D charges. SurgRx, Inc., a privately held developer of the advanced bipolar tissue sealing system used in the ENSEAL® family of devices, accounted for $7 million before tax of the IPR&D charges. Omrix Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company that develops and markets biosurgical and immunotherapy products, accounted for $127 million before tax of the IPR&D charges.
     In 2007, the Company recorded a charge for IPR&D of $807 million before and after tax related to the acquisition of Conor Medsystems, Inc. The IPR&D charge was included in the operating profit of the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment.

The unfavorable change of $0.5 billion in other (income) expense, net from 2009 to 2008 was primarily due to a gain of $0.5 billion from the divestiture of the Professional Wound Care business of Ethicon, Inc. in 2008.
     In 2008, other (income) expense, net included income from net litigation settlements and awards of $0.5 billion and a gain of $0.5 billion from the divestiture of the Professional Wound Care business of Ethicon, Inc.

(BAR GRAPH)
Consumer Segment: In 2009, Consumer segment operating profit decreased 7.4% from 2008. The primary reasons for the decrease in operating profit was $369 million of restructuring charges, partially offset by cost containment initiatives in 2009. In 2008, Consumer segment operating profit increased 17.4% from 2007. Cost synergies, lower integration costs in 2008 related to the acquisition of the Consumer Healthcare business of Pfizer Inc., and other cost containment initiatives contributed to the increased operating profit in 2008.
Pharmaceutical Segment: In 2009, Pharmaceutical segment operating profit decreased 15.7% from 2008. The primary reasons for the decrease in operating profit were $496 million of restructuring charges, $92 million of litigation expense and negative product mix due to the loss of market exclusivity for TOPAMAX® and RISPERDAL® oral. In 2008, Pharmaceutical segment operating profit increased 16.3% from 2007. The primary driver of the improved operating profit in 2008 was due to the restructuring charges of $429 million and $678 million for the NATRECOR® intangible asset write-down recorded in 2007.
Medical Devices and Diagnostics Segment: In 2009, the operating profit in the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment increased 6.5% from 2008. The improved operating profit was due to $478 million gain from net litigation settlements, favorable product mix, manufacturing efficiencies and cost containment initiatives related to selling, marketing and administrative expenses. This was partially offset by $321 million in restructuring charges. In 2008, the operating profit in the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment increased 49.1% from 2007. The improved operating profit was the result of the $429 million gain from net litigation settlements, favorable product mix, manufacturing efficiencies and lower IPR&D charges of $174 million in 2008 versus $807 million in 2007. Additionally, $301 million of restructuring charges were recorded in 2007.
Interest (Income) Expense: Interest income in 2009 decreased by $271 million due to lower rates of interest earned despite higher average cash balances. The cash balance, including marketable securities, was $19.4 billion at the end of 2009, and averaged $15.6 billion as compared to the $12.2 billion average cash balance in 2008. The increase in the average cash balance was primarily due to cash generated from operating activities.
     Interest expense in 2009 increased by $16 million due to a higher debt balance. The net debt balance at the end of 2009 was $14.5 billion as compared to $11.9 billion at the end of 2008. The higher average debt balance of $13.5 billion in 2009 versus $12.9 billion in 2008 was primarily related to funding acquisitions and investments and the purchase of the Company’s Common Stock under the ongoing Common Stock repurchase program announced on July 9, 2007.
     Interest income in 2008 decreased by $91 million due to lower rates of interest earned despite higher average cash balances. The cash balance, including marketable securities, was $12.8 billion at the end of 2008, and averaged $12.2 billion as compared to the $6.6 billion average cash balance in 2007. The increase in the average cash balance was primarily due to cash generated from operating activities.
     Interest expense in 2008 increased by $139 million due to a higher debt balance. In the second half of 2007 the Company converted some of its short-term debt to fixed long-term debt at higher interest rates. The net debt balance at the end of 2008 was $11.9 billion as compared to $9.5 billion at the end of 2007. The higher debt balance in 2008 was primarily due to the purchase of the Company’s Common Stock under the ongoing Common Stock repurchase program announced on July 9, 2007 and to fund acquisitions.
     Interest income in 2007 decreased by $377 million due to lower average cash balances. The decline in the average cash balance was primarily due to the acquisition of the Consumer Healthcare business of Pfizer Inc. on December 20, 2006.
     Interest expense in 2007 increased by $233 million as compared to prior year due to a higher average debt balance. The net debt balance at the end of 2007 was $9.5 billion as compared to $6.6 billion at the end of 2006. The higher debt balance in 2007 was due to the debt associated with the acquisition of the Consumer Healthcare business of Pfizer Inc. and the Common Stock repurchase program announced in 2007.
Provision for Taxes on Income: The worldwide effective income tax rate was 22.1% in 2009, 23.5% in 2008 and 20.4% in 2007. The 2009 tax rate decreased as compared to 2008 due to increases in taxable income in lower tax jurisdictions relative to taxable income in higher tax jurisdictions. The 2008 tax rate increased as compared to 2007 due to increases in taxable income in higher tax jurisdictions relative to taxable income in lower jurisdictions. In addition, the

Liquidity and Capital Resources
LIQUIDITY & CASH FLOWS
Cash and cash equivalents were $15.8 billion at the end of 2009 as compared with $10.8 billion at the end of 2008. The primary sources of cash that contributed to the $5.0 billion increase versus prior year were $16.6 billion of cash generated from operating activities and $2.5 billion net proceeds from long and short-term debt. The major uses of cash were capital spending of $2.4 billion, acquisitions of $2.5 billion, net investment purchases of $2.8 billion, dividends to shareholders of $5.3 billion and the repurchase of common stock, net of proceeds from the exercise of options, of $1.2 billion.
     Cash Flows from operations were $16.6 billion in 2009. The major sources of cash flow were net income of $12.3 billion, adjusted for non-cash charges for depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation of $3.4 billion, restructuring reserves of $1.1 billion and accounts receivable and inventories of $0.5 billion. The remaining changes to operating cash flow were a use of funds of $0.7 billion related to pension plan contributions and decreases in accounts payable partially offset by decreases in other receivables, prepaid expenses and deferred taxes.
     In 2009, the Company continued to have access to liquidity through the commercial paper market. For additional details on borrowings, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
     The Company anticipates that operating cash flows, existing credit facilities and access to the commercial paper markets will provide sufficient resources to fund operating needs in 2010.

FINANCING AND MARKET RISK
The Company uses financial instruments to manage the impact of foreign exchange rate changes on cash flows. Accordingly, the Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to protect the value of certain foreign currency assets and liabilities and to hedge future foreign currency transactions primarily related to product costs. Gains or losses on these contracts are offset by the gains or losses on the underlying transactions. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar from the January 3, 2010 market rates would increase the unrealized value of the Company’s forward contracts by $296 million. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar from the January 3, 2010 market rates would decrease the unrealized value of the Company’s forward contracts by $361 million. In either scenario, the gain or loss on the forward contract would be offset by the gain or loss on the underlying transaction and, therefore, would have no impact on future anticipated earnings and cash flows.
     The Company hedges the exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, and the effect on certain assets and liabilities in foreign currency, by entering into currency swap contracts. A 1% change in the spread between U.S. and foreign interest rates on the Company’s interest rate sensitive financial instruments would either increase or decrease the unrealized value of the Company’s swap contracts by approximately $185 million. In either scenario, at maturity, the gain or loss on the swap contract would be offset by the gain or loss on the underlying transaction and therefore would have no impact on future anticipated cash flows.
     The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Further, the Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with parties that have at least an “A” (or equivalent) credit rating. The counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions and there is no significant concentration of exposure with any one counterparty. Management believes the risk of loss is remote.
     The Company has access to substantial sources of funds at numerous banks worldwide. In September 2009, the Company secured a new 364-day Credit Facility. Total credit available to the Company approximates $10 billion, which expires September 23, 2010. Interest charged on borrowings under the credit line agreements is based on either bids provided by banks, the prime rate or London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR), plus applicable margins. Commitment fees under the agreement are not material.
     Total borrowings at the end of 2009 and 2008 were $14.5 billion and $11.9 billion, respectively. The increase in borrowings between 2009 and 2008 was a result of financing general corporate purposes and the continuation of the Common Stock repurchase program announced in 2007. In 2009, net cash (cash and current marketable securities, net of debt) was $4.9 billion compared to net cash of $1.0 billion in 2008. Total debt represented 22.3% of total capital (shareholders’ equity and total debt) in 2009 and 21.8% of total capital in 2008. Shareholders’ equity per share at the end of 2009 was $18.37 compared with $15.35 at year-end 2008, an increase of 19.7%.
     Johnson & Johnson continues to be one of a few industrial companies with a Triple A credit rating. A summary of borrowings can be found in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
The Company has contractual obligations, primarily lease, debt and unfunded retirement plans, with no other significant obligations. To satisfy these obligations, the Company will use cash from operations.

SHARE REPURCHASE AND DIVIDENDS
On July 9, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, authorizing the Company to buy back up to $10.0 billion of the Company’s Common Stock. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. Any shares acquired will be available for general corporate purposes. The Company funds the share repurchase program through a combination of available cash and debt. As of January 3, 2010, the Company repurchased an

On January 4, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.490 per share, payable on March 9, 2010, to shareholders of record as of February 23, 2010. The Company expects to continue the practice of paying regular cash dividends.
Other Information
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and other related disclosures. Actual results may or may not differ from these estimates. The Company believes that the understanding of certain key accounting policies and estimates are essential in achieving more insight into the Company’s operating results and financial condition. These key accounting policies include revenue recognition, income taxes, legal and self-insurance contingencies, valuation of long-lived assets, assumptions used to determine the amounts recorded for pensions and other employee benefit plans and accounting for stock options.
Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when goods are shipped or delivered, and title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Provisions for certain rebates, sales incentives, trade promotions, coupons, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in sales in the same period the related sales are recorded.
     Product discounts granted are based on the terms of arrangements with direct, indirect and other market participants, as well as market conditions, including prices charged by competitors. Rebates, the largest being the Medicaid rebate provision, are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience, trend analysis and projected market conditions in the various markets served. The Company evaluates market conditions for products or groups of products primarily through the analysis of wholesaler and other third-party sell-through and market research data, as well as internally generated information.
     Sales returns are generally estimated and recorded based on historical sales and returns information. Products that exhibit unusual sales or return patterns due to dating, competition or other marketing matters are specifically investigated and analyzed as part of the accounting for sales return accruals.
     Sales returns allowances represent a reserve for products that may be returned due to expiration, destruction in the field, or in specific areas, product recall. The returns reserve is based on historical return trends by product and by market as a percent to gross sales.
The Company’s sales return reserves are accounted for in accordance with the U.S. GAAP guidance for revenue recognition when right of return exists. Sales return reserves are recorded at full sales value. Sales returns in the Consumer and Pharmaceutical segments are almost exclusively not resalable. Sales returns for certain franchises in the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment are typically resalable but are not material. The Company rarely exchanges products from inventory for returned products. The sales returns reserve for the total Company has ranged between 1.1% and 1.2% of annual net trade sales during the prior three fiscal reporting years 2007-2009.
     Promotional programs, such as product listing allowances and cooperative advertising arrangements, are recorded in the year incurred. Continuing promotional programs include coupons and volume-based sales incentive programs. The redemption cost of consumer coupons is based on historical redemption experience by product and value. Volume-based incentive programs are based on estimated sales volumes for the incentive period and are recorded as products are sold. The Company also earns service revenue for co-promotion of certain products. For all years presented, service revenues were less than 2% of total revenues and are included in sales to customers. Additionally, these arrangements are evaluated to determine the appropriate amounts to be deferred.
     In addition, the Company enters into collaboration arrangements, which contain multiple revenue generating activities. The revenue for these arrangements is recognized as each activity is performed or delivered, based on the relative fair value. Upfront fees received as part of these arrangements are deferred and recognized as revenue earned over the obligation period.
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures on collaborations.
     Reasonably likely changes to assumptions used to calculate the accruals for rebates, returns and promotions are not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial statements. The Company currently discloses the impact of changes to assumptions in the quarterly or annual filing in which there is a material financial statement impact.
     Below are tables which show the progression of accrued rebates, returns, promotions, reserve for doubtful accounts and reserve for cash discounts by segment of business for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2010 and December 28, 2008.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are recorded based on amounts refundable or payable for the current year and include the results of any difference between GAAP accounting and tax reporting, recorded as deferred tax assets or liabilities. The Company estimates deferred tax assets and liabilities based on current tax regulations and rates. Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management believes that changes in these estimates would not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
     In 2007, in accordance with U.S. GAAP the Company adopted the standard related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Codification prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Codification also provides guidance on derecognition, classification and other matters. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding income taxes.
     At January 3, 2010 and December 28, 2008, the cumulative amounts of undistributed international earnings were approximately $32.2 billion and $27.7 billion, respectively. The Company intends to continue to reinvest its undistributed international earnings to expand its international operations; therefore, no U.S. tax expense has been recorded with respect to the undistributed portion not intended for repatriation.
Legal and Self Insurance Contingencies: The Company records accruals for various contingencies including legal proceedings and product liability cases as these arise in the normal course of business. The accruals are based on management’s judgment as to the probability of losses and, where applicable, actuarially determined estimates. Additionally, the Company records insurance receivable amounts from third-party insurers when recovery is probable. As appropriate, reserves against these receivables are recorded for estimated amounts that may not be collected from third-party insurers.
Long-Lived and Intangible Assets: The Company assesses changes in economic conditions and makes assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows in evaluating the value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets. As these assumptions and estimates may change over time, it may or may not be necessary for the Company to record impairment charges.
Employee Benefit Plans: The Company sponsors various retirement and pension plans, including defined benefit, defined contribution and termination indemnity plans, which cover most employees worldwide. These plans are based on assumptions for the discount rate, expected return on plan assets, expected salary increases and health care cost trend rates. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on these rates and the effect a rate change would have on the Company’s results of operations.
Stock Based Compensation: The Company recognizes compensation expense associated with the issuance of equity instruments to employees for their services. The fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and is expensed in the financial statements over the vesting period. The input assumptions used in determining fair value are the expected life, expected volatility, risk-free rate and the dividend yield. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS
The Company is aware that its products are used in an environment where, for more than a decade, policymakers, consumers and businesses have expressed concerns about the rising cost of health care. In response to these concerns, the Company has a long-standing policy of pricing products responsibly. For the period 1999-2009, in the United States, the weighted average compound annual growth rate of the Company’s net price increases for health care products
JOHNSON & JOHNSON 2009 ANNUAL REPORT

Table of Contents

(prescription and over-the-counter drugs, hospital and professional products) was below the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI).
     Inflation rates continue to have an effect on worldwide economies and, consequently, on the way companies operate. The Company will account for operations in Venezuela as highly inflationary in 2010, as the prior three-year cumulative inflation rate has surpassed 100%. In the face of increasing costs, the Company strives to maintain its profit margins through cost reduction programs, productivity improvements and periodic price increases.
     The Company is exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. A 1% change in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to all foreign currencies in which the Company had sales, income or expense in 2009 would have increased or decreased the translation of foreign sales by $300 million and income by $50 million.
     The Company faces various worldwide health care changes that may continue to result in pricing pressures that include health care cost containment and government legislation relating to sales, promotions and reimbursement.
     Changes in the behavior and spending patterns of purchasers of health care products and services, including delaying medical procedures, rationing prescription medications, reducing the frequency of physician visits and foregoing health care insurance coverage, as a result of the current global economic downturn may continue to impact the Company’s businesses.
     The Company also operates in an environment which has become increasingly hostile to intellectual property rights. Generic drug firms have filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) seeking to market generic forms of most of the Company’s key pharmaceutical products, prior to expiration of the applicable patents covering those products. In the event the Company is not successful in defending the patent claims challenged in ANDA filings, the generic firms will then introduce generic versions of the product at issue, resulting in the potential for substantial market share and revenue losses for that product. For further information see the discussion on “Litigation Against Filers of Abbreviated New Drug Applications” in Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in numerous product liability cases in the United States, many of which concern alleged 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 existing amounts accrued in the Company’s balance sheet under its self-insurance program and by third-party product liability insurance.
     The Company is also involved in a number of patent, trademark and other lawsuits, as well as investigations, incidental to its business. The ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company in respect to all claims, lawsuits and proceedings referred to above cannot be estimated with any certainty. However, in the Company’s opinion, based on its examination of these matters, its experience to date and discussions with counsel, the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, net of liabilities already accrued in the Company’s balance sheet, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, although the resolution in any reporting period of one or more of these matters could have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for that period.
     See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding legal proceedings.

Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results
This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements. 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 such as “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 approval, 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 that 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. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments.
     Risks and uncertainties include general industry conditions and competition; economic conditions, such as interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; technological advances, new products and patents attained by competitors; challenges inherent in new product development, including obtaining regulatory approvals; challenges to patents; U.S. and foreign health care reforms and governmental laws and regulations; trends toward health care cost containment; increased scrutiny of the health care industry by government agencies; product efficacy or safety concerns resulting in product recalls or regulatory action.
     The Company’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2010 includes, in Exhibit 99, a discussion of additional factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations. The Company notes these factors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

JOHNSON & JOHNSON
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Johnson & Johnson and subsidiaries (the “Company”). Inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company has approximately 115,500 employees worldwide engaged in the research and development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of products in the health care field. The Company conducts business in virtually all countries of the world and its primary focus is on products related to human health and well-being.
     The Company is organized into three business segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices and Diagnostics. The Consumer segment manufactures and markets a broad range of products used in the baby care, skin care, oral care, wound care and women’s health care fields, as well as nutritional and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products. These products are marketed to the general public and sold both to retail outlets and distributors throughout the world. The Pharmaceutical segment includes products in the following therapeutic areas: anti-infective, antipsychotic, cardiovascular, contraceptive, dermatology, gastrointestinal, hematology, immunology, neurology, oncology, pain management, urology and virology. These products are distributed directly to retailers, wholesalers and health care professionals for prescription use. The Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment includes a broad range of products used principally in the professional fields by physicians, nurses, therapists, hospitals, diagnostic laboratories and clinics. These products include Cordis’ circulatory disease management products; DePuy’s orthopaedic joint reconstruction, spinal care and sports medicine products; Ethicon’s surgical care, aesthetics and women’s health products; Ethicon Endo-Surgery’s minimally invasive surgical products; LifeScan’s blood glucose monitoring and insulin delivery products; Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics’ professional diagnostic products and Vistakon’s disposable contact lenses.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During the fiscal fourth quarter of 2009, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted the authoritative guidance for employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets to enhance the disclosure regarding the types of assets and associated risks in an employer’s defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan, as well as, events in the economy and markets that could have a significant effect on the value of the plan assets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. See Note 10 for enhanced disclosures.
     During the fiscal third quarter of 2009, the Company adopted The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC or Codification) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) which establishes the Codification as the sole source for authoritative U.S. GAAP and will supersede all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. The adoption of the Codification did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Since the adoption of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) the Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements will no longer make reference to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) or other U.S. GAAP pronouncements.
     During the fiscal second quarter of 2009, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted the standards on subsequent events. This pronouncement establishes standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. See Note 23 for related disclosure.
     During the fiscal first quarter of 2009, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted the standards on business combinations and non-controlling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. These standards aim to improve, simplify, and converge internationally, the accounting for business combinations and the reporting of non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements. These standards have an impact on the manner in which the Company accounts for acquisitions beginning in the fiscal year 2009. Significant changes include the capitalization of purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D), expensing of acquisition related restructuring actions and transaction related costs and the recognition of contingent purchase price consideration at fair value at the acquisition date. In addition, changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period will be recognized in earnings rather than as an adjustment to the cost of acquisition. This accounting treatment for taxes is applicable to acquisitions that occurred both prior and subsequent to the adoption of the standard. Operating profit attributable to non-controlling interests is reported in Other (Income) Expense, net and the related tax impact to the Provision for Taxes. Additionally, equity attributable to non-controlling interests is recorded in Other Non-Current liabilities. Non-controlling interests as related to the Company’s financial statements are immaterial and therefore, not separately disclosed.
     During the fiscal first quarter of 2009, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted the standard related to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, which enhanced the disclosure regarding the Company’s derivative and hedging activities. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. See Note 6 for enhanced disclosures.
     During the fiscal first quarter of 2009, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted the standard on collaborative arrangements related to the development and commercialization of intellectual property. This standard addresses the income statement classification of payments made between parties in a collaborative arrangement. The impact of the adoption of this standard related to all collaboration agreements that existed as of January 3, 2010 and December 28, 2008 was immaterial to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
     During the fiscal first quarter of 2009, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted the standard related to defensive intangible assets. This standard applies to acquired intangible assets in situations in which an entity does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold the asset to prevent others from obtaining access to the asset, except for intangible assets that are used in research and development activities. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, NOT ADOPTED AS OF JANUARY 3, 2010
The FASB issued guidance and amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.

40


Table of Contents

JOHNSON & JOHNSON
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The guidance and amendments are expected to: (a) provide principles and application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (b) require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price; and (c) eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate the revenue using the relative selling price method. The guidance significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first fiscal quarter of 2010. The adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position; however, it will expand the disclosures for such arrangements.
     The FASB issued a standard to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. This statement is effective for the Company beginning with the fiscal year 2010. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers securities with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
INVESTMENTS
Short-term marketable securities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Investments classified as available-for-sale are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Long-term debt securities that the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity are carried at amortized cost. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investment in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. The Company periodically reviews its investments in equity securities for impairment and adjusts these investments to their fair value when a decline in market value is deemed to be other than temporary. If losses on these securities are considered to be other than temporary, the loss is recognized in earnings.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The Company utilizes the straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
         
Building and building equipment
  20-40 years
Land and leasehold improvements
  10-20 years
Machinery and equipment
  2-13 years
The Company capitalizes certain computer software and development costs, included in machinery and equipment, when incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use. Capitalized software costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, which generally range from 3 to 8 years.
     The Company reviews long-lived assets to assess recoverability using undiscounted cash flows. When certain events or changes in operating or economic conditions occur, an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying value of these assets. If the asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on the difference between the asset’s fair value and its carrying value. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company will estimate fair value using a discounted value of estimated future cash flows.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped or delivered and title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Provisions for certain rebates, sales incentives, trade promotions, coupons, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in sales in the same period the related sales are recorded.
     Product discounts granted are based on the terms of arrangements with direct, indirect and other market participants, as well as market conditions, including prices charged by competitors. Rebates, the largest being the Medicaid rebate provision, are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience, trend analysis and projected market conditions in the various markets served. The Company evaluates market conditions for products or groups of products primarily through the analysis of wholesaler and other third-party sell-through and market research data, as well as internally generated information.
     Sales returns are generally estimated and recorded based on historical sales and returns information. Products that exhibit unusual sales or return patterns due to dating, competition or other marketing matters are specifically investigated and analyzed as part of the accounting for sales return accruals. Sales returns allowances represent a reserve for products that may be returned due to expiration, destruction in the field, or in specific areas, product recall. The returns reserve is based on historical return trends by product and by market as a percent to gross sales. In accordance with the Company’s accounting policies, the Company generally issues credit to customers for returned goods. The Company’s sales return reserves are accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP guidance regarding revenue recognition when right of return exists. Sales return reserves are recorded at full sales value. Sales returns in the Consumer and Pharmaceutical segments are almost exclusively not resalable. Sales returns for certain franchises in the Medical Devices and Diagnostics segment are typically resalable but are not material. The Company rarely exchanges products from inventory for returned products. The sales returns reserve for the total Company has ranged between 1.1% and 1.2% of annual net trade sales during the prior three fiscal reporting years 2007-2009.
     Promotional programs, such as product listing allowances and cooperative advertising arrangements, are recorded in the year incurred. Continuing promotional programs include coupons and volume-based sales incentive programs. The redemption cost of consumer coupons is based on historical redemption experience by product and value. Volume-based incentive programs are based on the estimated sales volumes for the incentive period and are recorded as products are sold. The Company also earns service revenue for co-promotion of certain products and includes it in sales to customers. These arrangements are evaluated to determine the appropriate amounts to be deferred.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING
Shipping and handling costs incurred were $964 million, $1,017 million and $934 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and are included in selling, marketing and administrative expense. The amount of revenue received for shipping and handling is less than 0.5% of sales to customers for all periods presented.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out method.

JOHNSON & JOHNSON
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
The authoritative literature on U.S. GAAP requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be assessed annually for impairment. The Company completed the annual impairment test for 2009 in the fiscal fourth quarter and no impairment was determined. Future impairment tests will be performed annually in the fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if a triggering event occurs.
     Intangible assets that have finite useful lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives, and are reviewed for impairment when warranted by economic conditions. See Note 5 for further details on Intangible Assets and Goodwill.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As required by U.S. GAAP all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction, and if so, the type of hedge transaction.
     The Company documents all relationships between hedged items and derivatives. The overall risk management strategy includes reasons for undertaking hedge transactions and entering into derivatives. The objectives of this strategy are: (1) minimize foreign currency exposure’s impact on the Company’s financial performance; (2) protect the Company’s cash flow from adverse movements in foreign exchange rates; (3) ensure the appropriateness of financial instruments; and (4) manage the enterprise risk associated with financial institutions. See Note 6 for additional information on Financial Instruments.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
Accruals for product liability claims are recorded, on an undiscounted basis, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on existing information. The accruals are adjusted periodically as additional information becomes available. As a result of cost and availability factors, effective November 1, 2005, the Company ceased purchasing third-party product liability insurance. Based on the availability of prior coverage, receivables for insurance recoveries related to product liability claims are recorded on an undiscounted basis, when it is probable that a recovery will be realized.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Upfront and milestone payments made to third-parties in connection with research and development collaborations are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval. Payments made to third-parties subsequent to regulatory approval are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related product. Amounts capitalized for such payments are included in other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization.
     The Company enters into collaborative arrangements, typically with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, to develop and commercialize drug candidates or intellectual property. These arrangements typically involve two (or more) parties who are active participants in the collaboration and are exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activities. These collaborations usually involve various activities by one or more parties, including research and development, marketing and selling and distribution. Often, these collaborations require upfront, milestone and royalty or profit share payments, contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development. Amounts due from collaborative partners related to development activities are generally reflected as a reduction of research and development expense because the performance of contract development services is not central to the Company’s operations. In general, the income statement presentation for these collaborations is as follows:
         
Nature/Type of Collaboration   Statement of Earnings Presentation  
 
Third-party sale of product
  Sales to customers
Royalties/milestones paid to collaborative partner (post-regulatory approval)*
  Cost of goods sold
Royalties received from collaborative partner
  Other income (expense), net
Upfront payments & milestones paid to collaborative partner (pre-regulatory approval)
  Research expense
Research and development payments to collaborative partner
  Research expense
Research and development payments received from collaborative partner
  Reduction of Research expense
 
*   Milestones are capitalized as intangible assets and amortized to cost of goods sold over the useful life.
ADVERTISING
Costs associated with advertising are expensed in the year incurred and are included in the selling, marketing and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses worldwide, which are comprised of television, radio, print media and Internet advertising, were $2.4 billion in 2009, $2.9 billion in 2008 and $2.7 billion in 2007.
INCOME TAXES
The Company intends to continue to reinvest its undistributed international earnings to expand its international operations; therefore, no U.S. tax expense has been recorded with respect to the undistributed portion not intended for repatriation. At January 3, 2010 and December 28, 2008, the cumulative amount of undistributed international earnings were approximately $32.2 billion and $27.7 billion, respectively.
     Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates, applicable to future years, to differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.
NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock using the treasury stock method.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Estimates are used when accounting for sales discounts, rebates, allowances and incentives, product liabilities, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, employee benefits, contingencies and intangible asset and liability valuations. For instance, in determining annual pension and post-employment benefit costs, the Company estimates the rate of return on plan assets, and the cost of future health care benefits. Actual results may or may not differ from those estimates.

The weighted average amortization periods for patents and trademarks and other intangible assets are 17 years and 28 years, respectively. The amortization expense of amortizable assets for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2010, December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007 was $675 million, $788 million and $844 million before tax, respectively. Certain patents and intangible assets were written down to fair value during fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, with the resulting charge included in amortization expense.
     The estimated amortization expense for the five succeeding years approximates $700 million before tax, per year. Substantially all of the amortization expense is included in cost of products sold.
6. Fair Value Measurements
During the fiscal first quarter of 2009, in accordance with U.S. GAAP the Company adopted the standard related to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. This standard requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gain and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.
     The Company uses forward exchange contracts to manage its exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to the foreign exchange rate changes of future intercompany product and third-party purchases of raw materials denominated in foreign currency. The Company also uses cross currency interest rate swaps to manage currency risk primarily related to borrowings. Both types of derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company also uses forward exchange contracts to manage its exposure to the variability of cash flows for repatriation of foreign dividends. These contracts are designated as net investment hedges. Additionally, the Company uses forward exchange contracts to offset its exposure to certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. These forward exchange contracts are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in the fair values of these derivatives are recognized in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, or contain credit risk related contingent features or requirements to post collateral. On an ongoing basis the Company monitors counterparty credit ratings. The Company considers credit non-performance risk to be low, because the Company enters into agreements with commercial institutions that have at least an A (or equivalent) credit rating. As of January 3, 2010, the Company had notional amounts outstanding for forward foreign exchange contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps of $21 billion and $4 billion, respectively.
     As required by U.S. GAAP for derivative instruments and hedging activities, all derivative instruments are to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction, and if so, the type of hedge transaction.
     The designation as a cash flow hedge is made at the entrance date into the derivative contract. At inception, all derivatives are expected to be highly effective. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge and is highly effective are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction affects earnings, and are then reclassified to earnings in the same account as the hedged transaction. Gains/losses on net investment hedges are accounted for through the currency translation account and are insignificant. On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses whether each derivative continues to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. If and when a derivative is no longer expected to be highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is included in current period earnings in other (income) and expense, net, and was insignificant for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010 and December 28, 2008. Refer to Note 13 for disclosures of movements in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
     As of January 3, 2010, the balance of deferred net gains on derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $145 million after-tax. For additional information, see Note 13. The Company expects that substantially all of the amount related to foreign exchange contracts will be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months as a result of transactions that are expected to occur over that period. The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging transaction exposure is 18 months excluding interest rate swaps. The amount ultimately realized in earnings will differ as foreign exchange rates change. Realized gains and losses are ultimately determined by actual exchange rates at maturity of the derivative.
     The following table is a summary of the activity for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010 related to designated derivatives as defined in the Codification:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
     During the fiscal first quarter of 2008, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted the standard related to fair value measurements except for non-financial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which became effective during the first fiscal quarter of 2009. The effect of adoption on December 29, 2008 of this standard for non-financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. During the fiscal first quarter of 2008, the Company adopted the standard related to fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. This standard permits the Company to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The Company assessed the fair value option made available upon adopting this standard, and has elected not to apply the fair value option to any financial instruments that were not already recognized at fair value.
     U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative literature establishes a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels within the hierarchy are described in the table below with level 1 having the highest priority and level 3 having the lowest.
     The fair value of a derivative financial instrument (i.e. forward exchange contract, currency swap) is the aggregation by currency of all future cash flows discounted to its present value at the prevailing market interest rates and subsequently converted to the U.S. dollar at the current spot foreign exchange rate. The Company does not believe that fair values of these derivative instruments materially differ from the amounts that could be realized upon settlement or maturity, or that the changes in fair value will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
     The Company also holds equity investments which are classified as level 1 since they are traded in an active exchange market.
During 2009, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and rights of Elan’s Alzheimer’s Immunotherapy Program through a newly formed company, JANSSEN Alzheimer Immunotherapy (JAI), of which the Company owns 50.1% and Elan owns 49.9%. In addition, the Company purchased approximately 107 million newly issued American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of Elan, representing 18.4% of Elan’s outstanding ordinary shares. As part of this transaction, the Company paid $885 million to Elan and committed to fund up to $250 million of Elan’s share of research and development spending by JAI. Of this total consideration of $1,135 million, $793 million represents the fair value of the 18.4% investment in Elan based on Elan’s share price in an actively traded market as of the date of this transaction. The IPR&D related to this transaction was $679 million and is associated with bapineuzumab, a potential first-in-class treatment that is being evaluated for slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease. The value of the IPR&D was calculated using cash flow projections discounted for the risk inherent in such projects. Probability of success factors ranging from 40-50% were used to reflect inherent clinical and regulatory risk. The discount rate applied was 26%. The non-controlling interest related to this transaction was $590 million, which the Company has recorded in other non-current liabilities.
     During 2009, the Company entered into a strategic collaboration with Crucell N.V. which will focus on the discovery, development and commercialization of monoclonal antibodies and vaccines for the treatment and prevention of influenza and other infectious and non-infectious diseases. In addition, the Company, through its affiliate, purchased approximately 18% of Crucell’s outstanding ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $448 million. Of the total consideration paid, $329 million represents the fair value of the investment based on Crucell’s share price in an actively traded market as of the date of the transaction with the excess recorded to research and development expense in 2009.
     The Company did not have any other significant financial assets or liabilities which would require revised valuations under this standard that are recognized at fair value.
The Company’s significant financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of January 3, 2010 and December 28, 2008 were as follows:

     The Company has access to substantial sources of funds at numerous banks worldwide. In September 2009, the Company secured a new 364-day Credit Facility. Total credit available to the Company approximates $10 billion which expires September 23, 2010. Interest charged on borrowings under the credit line agreements is based on either bids provided by banks, the prime rate or London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR), plus applicable margins. Commitment fees under the agreements are not material.
     On July 28, 2000, ALZA Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company, completed a private offering of the 3% Zero Coupon Convertible Subordinated Debentures, which were issued at a price of $551.26 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity. Under the terms of the 3% Debentures, holders are entitled to convert their debentures into approximately 15.0 million shares of Johnson & Johnson stock at a price of $40.102 per share. Approximately 11.4 million shares have been issued as of January 3, 2010, due to voluntary conversions by note holders. At the option of the holder, the 3% Debentures may be repurchased by the Company on July 28, 2013, at a purchase price equal to the issue price plus accreted original issue discount to such purchase date. The Company, at its option, may also redeem any or all of the 3% Debentures after July 28, 2003 at the issue price plus accreted original issue discount.
     Throughout 2009 the Company continued to have access to liquidity through the commercial paper market. Short-term borrowings and the current portion of long-term debt amounted to approximately $6.3 billion at the end of 2009, of which $5.8 billion was borrowed under the Commercial Paper Program. The remainder represents principally local borrowing by international subsidiaries.
     The Company filed a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission that became effective March 11, 2008 which enables the Company to issue an unlimited aggregate principal amount in debt securities and warrants to purchase debt securities.

The Company has subsidiaries manufacturing in Ireland under an incentive tax rate. In addition, the Company has subsidiaries operating in Puerto Rico under various tax incentive grants. The decrease in the 2009 tax rate was primarily due to increases in taxable income in lower tax jurisdictions relative to taxable income in higher tax jurisdictions. The increase in the 2008 tax rate was mainly attributed to increases in taxable income in higher tax jurisdictions relative to taxable income in lower jurisdictions, as well as a business restructuring of certain international subsidiaries in 2007, resulting in a one-time benefit of $267 million, which reduced the 2007 effective tax rate by 2%.

The difference between the net deferred tax on income per the balance sheet and the net deferred tax above is included in taxes on income on the balance sheet. The 2009 and 2008 deferred tax Miscellaneous U.S. includes current year tax receivables. The Company has a wholly-owned international subsidiary which has cumulative net losses. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the subsidiary will realize future taxable income sufficient to utilize these deferred tax assets.
     The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits:
                         
(Dollars in Millions)   2009     2008     2007

End of year
  $ 2,403       1,978       1,653  
     
The Company had $2.4 billion and $2.0 billion of unrecognized tax benefits, as of January 3, 2010 and December 28, 2008, respectively. All of the unrecognized tax benefits of $2.4 billion at January 3, 2010, if recognized, would affect the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The Company conducts business and files tax returns in numerous countries and currently has tax audits in progress with a number of tax authorities. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its audit for the tax years through 2002. In other major jurisdictions where the Company conducts business, the years remain open generally back to the year 2002 with some jurisdictions remaining open as far back as 1995. The Company does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change over the next twelve months. The Company believes that it is possible that within the next twelve months, the IRS may complete its audit of the tax years 2003-2005. The close of the audit may result in the reduction of unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is not able to provide a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of any other future tax payments relating to uncertain tax positions.
     The Company classifies liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties as long-term liabilities. Interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax expense. During the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010, the Company recognized $85 million of interest expense and $30 million of interest income with an after-tax impact of $36 million expense. For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008, the Company recognized $106 million of interest expense with an after-tax impact of $69 million. For the fiscal year ended December 30, 2007, the Company recognized $58 million of interest expense and $42 million of interest income with an after-tax impact of $10 million expense. The total amount of accrued interest was $309 million and $227 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
9. Employee Related Obligations

Prepaid employee related obligations of $266 million and $136 million for 2009 and 2008, respectively, are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
10. Pensions and Other Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors various retirement and pension plans, including defined benefit, defined contribution and termination indemnity plans, which cover most employees worldwide. The Company also provides postretirement benefits, primarily health care, to all U.S. retired employees and their dependents.
     Many international employees are covered by government-sponsored programs and the cost to the Company is not significant.
     Retirement plan benefits are primarily based on the employee’s compensation during the last three to five years before retirement and the number of years of service. International subsidiaries have plans under which funds are deposited with trustees, annuities are purchased under group contracts, or reserves are provided.
     The Company does not fund retiree health care benefits in advance and has the right to modify these plans in the future.
     The Company uses the date of its consolidated financial statements (January 3, 2010 and December 28, 2008, respectively) as the measurement date for all U.S. and international retirement and other benefit plans.
     In accordance with U.S. GAAP the Company has adopted the recent standards related to employers’ accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.

Unrecognized gains and losses for the U.S. pension plans are amortized over the average remaining future service for each plan. For plans with no active employees, they are amortized over the average life expectancy. The amortization of gains and losses for the other U.S. benefit plans is determined by using a 10% corridor of the greater of the market value of assets or the projected benefit obligation. Total unamortized gains and losses in excess of the corridor are amortized over the average remaining future service.
     Prior service costs/benefits for the U.S. pension plans are amortized over the remaining future service of plan participants at the time of the plan amendment. Prior service cost/benefit for the other U.S. benefit plans is amortized over the average remaining service to full eligibility age of plan participants at the time of the plan amendment.
     The weighted-average assumptions in the following table represent the rates used to develop the actuarial present value of projected benefit obligation for the year listed and also the net periodic benefit cost for the following year.

The Company’s discount rates are determined by considering current yield curves representing high quality, long-term fixed income instruments. The resulting discount rates are consistent with the duration of plan liabilities.
     The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption is determined using a building block approach, considering historical averages and real returns of each asset class. In certain countries, where historical returns are not meaningful, consideration is given to local market expectations of long-term returns.

In 2009, the Company contributed $839 million and $515 million to its U.S. and international pension plans, respectively. In addition, the Company funded $500 million to its U.S. plans in the first month of 2010.
     In 2006, Congress passed the Pension Protection Act of 2006. The Act amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) for plan years beginning after 2007 and established new minimum funding standards for U.S. employer defined benefit plans.
The Company plans to continue to fund its U.S. defined benefit plans to comply with the Act.
     International plans are funded in accordance with local regulations. Additional discretionary contributions are made when deemed appropriate to meet the long-term obligations of the plans. For certain plans, funding is not a common practice, as funding provides no economic benefit. Consequently the Company has several pension plans that are not funded.
     The following table displays the projected future minimum contributions to the Company’s U.S. and international unfunded retirement plans. These amounts do not include any discretionary contributions that the Company may elect to make in the future.

Each pension plan is overseen by a local committee or board that is responsible for the overall administration and investment of the pension plans. In determining investment policies, strategies and goals, each committee or board considers factors including local pension rules and regulations; local tax regulations; availability of investment vehicles (separate accounts, commingled accounts, insurance funds, etc.); funded status of the plans; ratio of actives to retirees; duration of liabilities; and other relevant factors including diversification, liquidity of local markets and liquidity of base currency. A majority of the Company’s pension funds are open to new entrants and are expected to be on-going plans. Permitted investments are primarily liquid and/or listed, with little reliance on illiquid and non-traditional investments such as hedge funds. An asset allocation of 75% equities and 25% fixed income is generally pursued unless local regulations and illiquidity require otherwise.
     The Company’s retirement plan asset allocation at the end of 2009 and 2008 and target allocations for 2010 are as follows:
                         
    Percent of     Target

The Company’s other benefit plans are unfunded except for U.S. life insurance contract assets of $16 million and $17 million at January 3, 2010 and December 28, 2008, respectively.
     The fair value of Johnson & Johnson common stock directly held in plan assets was $469 million (4.3% of total plan assets) at January 3, 2010 and $416 million (5.4% of total plan assets) at December 28, 2008.
DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE
The Plan has an established and well-documented process for determining fair values. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon models that primarily use, as inputs, market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, equity or debt prices, foreign exchange rates and credit curves.
     While the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
VALUATION HIERARCHY
The authoritative literature establishes a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels within the hierarchy are described in the table below with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
     Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the investments measured at fair value.
      Short-term investments — Cash and quoted short-term instruments are valued at the closing price or the amount held on deposit by the custodian bank. Other investments are through investment vehicles valued using the Net Asset Value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV is a quoted price in a market that is not active and classified as Level 2.
      Government and agency securities — A limited number of these investments are valued at the closing price reported on the major market on which the individual securities are traded. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, the investments are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. When quoted market prices for a security are not available in an active market, they are classified as Level 2.
      Debt instruments — A limited number of these investments are valued at the closing price reported on the major market on which the individual securities are traded. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, the investments are classified as Level 1.
If quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows and are classified as Level 2. Level 3 debt instruments are priced based on unobservable inputs.
      Equity securities — Common stocks are valued at the closing price reported on the major market on which the individual securities are traded. Substantially all common stock is classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
      Commingled funds — The investments are public investment vehicles valued using the NAV provided by the fund administrator. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. Assets in the Level 2 category have a quoted market price in a market that is not active.
      Insurance contracts — The instruments are issued by insurance companies. The fair value is based on negotiated value and the underlying investments held in separate account portfolios as well as considering the credit worthiness of the issuer. The underlying investments are government, asset-backed and fixed income securities. In general, insurance contracts are classified as Level 3 as there are no quoted prices nor other observable inputs for pricing.
      Other assets — Other assets are represented primarily by limited partnerships and real estate investments, as well as commercial loans and commercial mortgages that are not classified as corporate debt. Other assets that are exchange listed and actively traded are classified as Level 1 while inactively traded assets are classified as Level 2. Most limited partnerships represent investments in private equity and similar funds that are valued by the general partners. These, as well as any other assets valued using unobservable inputs, are classified as Level 3.

14. International Currency Translation
For translation of its subsidiaries operating in non-U.S. Dollar currencies, the Company has determined that the local currencies of its international subsidiaries are the functional currencies except those in highly inflationary economies, which are defined as those which have had compound cumulative rates of inflation of 100% or more during the past three years, or where a substantial portion of its cash flows are not in the local currency.
     In consolidating international subsidiaries, balance sheet currency effects are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. This equity account includes the results of translating all balance sheet assets and liabilities at current exchange rates, except for those located in highly inflationary economies. The translation of balance sheet accounts for highly inflationary economies are reflected in the operating results.
     An analysis of the changes during 2009, 2008 and 2007 for foreign currency translation adjustments is included in Note 13.
     Net currency transaction and translation gains and losses included in other (income) expense were losses of $210 million, $31 million and $23 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
15. Earnings Per Share
The following is a reconciliation of basic net earnings per share to diluted net earnings per share for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2010, December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007:
                         
(Shares in Millions Except Per Share Data)   2009     2008     2007  
     
Basic net earnings per share
  $ 4.45       4.62       3.67  
Average shares outstanding — basic
    2,759.5       2,802.5       2,882.9  
Potential shares exercisable under stock option plans
    118.0       179.0       178.6  
Less: shares repurchased under treasury stock method
    (92.0 )     (149.6 )     (154.5 )
Convertible debt shares
    3.6       3.7       3.7  
     
Adjusted average shares outstanding — diluted
    2,789.1       2,835.6       2,910.7  
Diluted net earnings per share
  $ 4.40       4.57       3.63  
     
The diluted net earnings per share calculation includes the dilutive effect of convertible debt that is offset by the related reduction in interest expense of $4 million after-tax for years 2009, 2008 and 2007.
     Diluted net earnings per share excludes 121 million, 59 million and 64 million shares underlying stock options for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as the exercise price of these options was greater than their average market value, which would result in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share.
16. Rental Expense and Lease Commitments
Rentals of space, vehicles, manufacturing equipment and office and data processing equipment under operating leases were approximately $322 million in 2009, $309 million in 2008 and $302 million in 2007.
     The approximate minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year at January 3, 2010 are:
                                               
(Dollars in Millions)                                   After        
2010     2011       2012       2013       2014       2014       Total
 
$178     150       128       103       87       94       740
Commitments under capital leases are not significant.
17. Common Stock, Stock Option Plans and Stock Compensation Agreements
STOCK OPTIONS
At January 3, 2010, the Company had 11 stock-based compensation plans. The shares outstanding are for contracts under the Company’s 1995 and 2000 Stock Option Plans, the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the 1997 Non-Employee Director’s Plan and the ALZA, Inverness, and Scios Stock Option Plans. During 2009, no options or restricted shares were granted under any of these plans except under the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
     The compensation cost that has been charged against income for these plans was $628 million, $627 million and $698 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation costs was $210 million, $210 million and $238 million for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Share-based compensation costs capitalized as part of inventory were insignificant in all periods.
     Stock options expire 10 years from the date of grant and vest over service periods that range from six months to five years. All options are granted at the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. Under the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company may issue up to 260 million shares of common stock. Shares available for future grants under the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan were 139.7 million at the end of 2009.
     The Company settles employee stock option exercises with treasury shares. Treasury shares are replenished throughout the year for the number of shares used to settle employee stock option exercises.
     The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility represents a blended rate of 4-year daily historical average volatility rate, and a 5-week average implied volatility rate based on at-the-money traded Johnson & Johnson options with a life of 2 years. Historical data is used to determine the expected life of the option. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

     Supplemental pro forma information for 2009, 2008 and 2007 in accordance with U.S. GAAP standards related to business combinations, and goodwill and other intangible assets, is not provided, as the impact of the aforementioned acquisitions did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
     With the exception of the divestiture of the Professional Wound Care business of Ethicon, Inc., which resulted in a gain of $536 million before tax, and is recorded in other (income) expense, net, in 2008, divestitures in 2009, 2008 and 2007 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Note 21 — Legal Proceedings
PRODUCT LIABILITY
The Company’s subsidiaries are involved in numerous product liability cases in the United States, many of which concern alleged 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 that accompany such products, it is not feasible to predict the ultimate outcome of litigation. However, the Company believes that if any product liability results from such cases, it will be substantially covered by existing amounts accrued in the Company’s balance sheet and, where available, by third-party product liability insurance.
     Multiple products of Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries are subject to numerous product liability claims and lawsuits. There are a significant number of claimants who have pending lawsuits or claims regarding injuries allegedly due to ORTHO EVRA®, RISPERDAL®, LEVAQUIN®, DURAGESIC®, the CHARITÉ™ Artificial Disc and CYPHER® Stent. These claimants seek substantial compensatory and, where available, punitive damages.
     With respect to RISPERDAL ®, the Attorneys General of eight states and the Office of General Counsel of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have filed actions seeking reimbursement of Medicaid or other public funds for RISPERDAL® prescriptions written for off-label use, compensation for treating their citizens for alleged adverse reactions to RISPERDAL®, civil fines or penalties, punitive damages, or other relief. The Attorney General of Texas has joined a qui tam action in that state seeking similar relief. Certain of these actions also seek injunctive relief relating to the promotion of RISPERDAL®. The Attorneys General of more than 40 other states have indicated a potential interest in pursuing similar litigation against the Company’s subsidiary, Janssen Pharmaceutica Inc. (Janssen) (now Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OMJPI)), and have obtained a tolling agreement staying the running of the statute of limitations while they inquire into the issues. In addition, there are six cases filed by union health plans seeking damages for alleged overpayments for RISPERDAL®, several of which seek certification as class actions. In the case brought by the Attorney General of West Virginia, based on claims for alleged consumer fraud as to DURAGESIC® as well as RISPERDAL®, Janssen (now OMJPI) was found liable and damages were assessed at $4.5 million. OMJPI has filed an appeal.
     Numerous claims and lawsuits in the United States relating to the drug PROPULSID®, withdrawn from general sale by the Company’s Janssen (now OMJPI) subsidiary in 2000, have been resolved or are currently enrolled in settlement programs with an aggregate cap below $100 million. Similar litigation concerning PROPULSID® is pending in Canada, where a national class action of persons alleging adverse reactions to the drug has been certified and a settlement program instituted with an aggregate cap below $10 million.
AFFIRMATIVE STENT PATENT LITIGATION
In patent infringement actions tried in Delaware Federal District Court in late 2000, Cordis Corporation (Cordis), a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, obtained verdicts of infringement and patent validity, and damage awards against Boston Scientific Corporation (Boston Scientific) and Medtronic AVE, Inc. (Medtronic) based on a number of Cordis vascular stent patents. In December 2000, the jury in the damage action against Boston Scientific returned a verdict of $324 million and the jury in the Medtronic action returned a verdict of $271 million. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has upheld liability in these cases, and on September 30, 2008, the district court entered judgments, including interest, in the amounts of $702 million and $521 million against Boston Scientific and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Medtronic, respectively. Medtronic paid $472 million in October 2008, representing the judgment, net of amounts exchanged in settlement of a number of other litigations between the companies. The net settlement of $472 million was recorded as a credit to other (income) expense, net in the 2008 consolidated statement of earnings. In September 2009, Cordis settled this case with Boston Scientific together with the Kastenhofer/Fontirroche and Ding cases described below, for a net payment of $716 million. As part of that settlement Boston Scientific received a paid up license to the Fontirroche family of patents worldwide and Cordis received a paid license to the Kastenhofer and Ding families of patents worldwide and the parties settled all pending lawsuits worldwide relating to these patents. The receipt of $716 million, less the impact of other litigation matters, resulted in a credit to other (income) expense, net of $386 million in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2009. In addition, in May 2009, Medtronic paid $270 million to settle additional patent infringement claims asserted by Cordis based on its vascular stent patents, which was recorded as a credit to other (income) expense, net in the fiscal second quarter of 2009.
     In January 2003, Cordis filed a patent infringement action against Boston Scientific in Delaware Federal District Court accusing its Express2™, Taxus® and Liberte® stents of infringing the Palmaz patent that expired in November 2005. The Liberte® stent was also accused of infringing Cordis’ Gray patent that expires in 2016. In June 2005, a jury found that the Express2™, Taxus® and Liberte® stents infringed the Palmaz patent and that the Liberte® stent also infringed the Gray patent. On March 31, 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed this judgment. The case was remanded to the district court for a trial on damages and willfulness. Cordis also filed a lawsuit in Delaware Federal District Court in October of 2008 alleging that Boston Scientific’s sales of Taxus® and Liberte® after June of 2005 infringes Cordis’ Gray patent. On January 29, 2010, these cases together with the Jang case referred to in the paragraph below, were settled. Under the terms of the settlement, Boston Scientific paid Cordis $1.0 billion on February 1, 2010, and will pay Cordis an additional $725 million plus interest on January 3, 2011. Cordis granted Boston Scientific a paid up worldwide license under the Palmaz and Gray patents and Boston Scientific granted Cordis a paid up worldwide license under the Jang patents for all stents sold by Cordis except the 2.25mm size Cypher.
     Cordis has several pending lawsuits in New Jersey and Delaware Federal District Court against Guidant Corporation (Guidant), Abbott Laboratories, Inc. (Abbott), Boston Scientific and Medtronic alleging that the Xience V™ (Abbott), Promus™ (Boston Scientific) and Endeavor® (Medtronic) drug eluting stents infringe several patents owned by or licensed to Cordis. In one of the cases against Boston Scientific, alleging that sales of their Promus™ stent infringed Wright and Falotico patents, on January 20, 2010 the District Court in Delaware found the Wright/Falotico patent invalid for lack of written description and/or lack of enablement. Cordis intends to appeal this ruling.
PATENT LITIGATION AGAINST VARIOUS JOHNSON & JOHNSON SUBSIDIARIES
The products of various Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries are the subject of various patent lawsuits, the outcomes of which could potentially adversely affect the ability of those subsidiaries to sell those products, or require the payment of past damages and future royalties.
     In July 2005, a jury in Federal District Court in Delaware found that the Cordis CYPHER® Stent infringed Boston Scientific’s Ding ‘536 patent and that the Cordis CYPHER® and BX VELOCITY® Stents also infringed Boston Scientific’s Jang ‘021 patent. The jury also found both of those patents valid. In January 2009, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held the Ding patent invalid and a judgment in favor of Cordis in that case has been entered. In March 2009, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld the judgment that Cordis’ CYPHER® Stent infringed Boston Scientific’s Jang patent. The case has been remanded for a trial on the issues of damages and willfulness. The Jang case has been dismissed as part of the January 2010 settlement described in the paragraph above relating to the Express2™, Taxus® and Liberte® stents.
     In Germany, Boston Scientific had several actions based on its Ding patents pending against the Cordis CYPHER® Stent. Boston Scientific also had brought actions in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy under its Kastenhofer patent, which purports to cover two-layer catheters such as those used to deliver the CYPHER® Stent. These cases have been settled as part of the September 2009 settlement described above.
     Trial in Boston Scientific’s U.S. case based on the Kastenhofer patent in Federal District Court in California concluded in October 2007 with a jury finding that the patent was invalid. The jury also found for Cordis on its counterclaim that sale by Boston Scientific of its balloon catheters and stent delivery systems infringe Cordis’ Fontirroche patent. The Court has denied Boston Scientific’s post trial motions. This case was settled as part of the September 2009 settlement described above.
     In May 2008, Centocor, Inc. (Centocor) (now Centocor Ortho Biotech Inc. (COBI)) filed a lawsuit against Genentech, Inc. (Genentech) in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California seeking to invalidate the Cabilly II patent. Prior to filing suit, Centocor had a sublicense under this patent from Celltech (who was licensed by Genentech) for REMICADE® and had been paying royalties to Celltech. Centocor has terminated that sublicense and stopped paying royalties. Genentech has filed a counterclaim alleging that REMICADE® infringes its Cabilly II patents and that the manufacture of REMICADE®, STELARA™, SIMPONI™ and ReoPro® also infringes one of its other patents relating to the purification of antibodies made through recombinant DNA techniques. The court has scheduled a hearing for Summary Judgment Motions in August 2010.
     In April 2009, a bench trial was held before the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Florida on the liability phase of Ciba’s patent infringement lawsuit alleging that Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.’s (JJVC) ACUVUE® OASYS™ lenses infringe three of their Nicholson patents. In August 2009, the District Court found two of these patents valid and infringed and entered judgment against JJVC. JJVC has appealed that judgment to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On March 22, 2010, the District Court will hold a hearing on Ciba’s motion for a permanent injunction. If the judgment is upheld on appeal the Court will schedule another trial to determine damages and willfulness.
     In May 2009, Abbott Biotechnology Ltd. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Centocor (now COBI) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The suit alleges that Centocor’s SIMPONI™ product, a human anti-TNF alpha antibody, infringes Abbott’s ‘394 patent (the Salfeld patent). The case has been stayed pending the resolution of an arbitration filed by Centocor directed to its claim that it is licensed under the ‘394 patent. The arbitration is scheduled for March 2010.
     In August 2009, Abbott GmbH & Co. (Abbott GmbH) and Abbott Bioresearch Center filed a patent infringement lawsuit against COBI in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The suit alleges that COBI’s STELARA™ product infringes two U.S. patents assigned to Abbott GmbH. In August 2009, COBI filed a complaint for a declaratory judgment of non-infringement and invalidity of the Abbott GmbH patents in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. On the same date, also in the United States District Court for the District of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Columbia, COBI filed a Complaint for Review of a Patent Interference Decision granting priority of invention on one of the two asserted patents to Abbott GmbH. In August 2009, Abbott GmbH and Abbott Laboratories Limited brought a patent infringement suit in Canada alleging that STELARA™ infringes Abbott GmbH’s Canadian patent. The cases filed by COBI in the District of Columbia have been transferred to the District of Massachusetts.
     In August 2009, Bayer Healthcare LLC filed suit against COBI in Massachusetts District Court alleging infringement by COBI’s SIMPONI™ product of its patent relating to human anti-TNF antibodies. Bayer has also filed suit under its European counterpart to these patents in Germany and the Netherlands.
     In June 2009, Centocor’s (now COBI) lawsuit alleging that Abbott’s HUMIRA anti-TNF alpha product infringes Centocor’s ‘775 patent went to trial in Federal District Court in the Eastern District of Texas. On June 28, 2009 a jury returned a verdict finding the patent valid and willfully infringed, and awarded Centocor damages of approximately $1.7 billion. A bench trial on Abbott’s defenses, of inequitable conduct and prosecution laches, was held in August 2009, and the District Court decided these issues in favor of Centocor. All of Abbott’s post trial motions have been denied except that the District Court granted Abbott’s motion to overturn the jury finding of willfulness. Judgment in the amount of $1.9 billion was entered in favor of Centocor in December 2009 and Abbott has filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Company has not reflected any of the $1.9 billion in its consolidated financial statements. Centocor has also filed a new lawsuit in the Eastern District of Texas seeking damages for infringement of the ‘775 patent attributable to sales of HUMIRA subsequent to the jury verdict in June 2009.

LITIGATION AGAINST FILERS OF ABBREVIATED NEW DRUG APPLICATIONS (ANDAs)
The following chart indicates lawsuits pending against generic firms that filed Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) seeking to market generic forms of products sold by various subsidiaries of the Company prior to expiration of the applicable patents covering those products. These ANDAs typically include allegations of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of these patents. In the event the subsidiary of the Company involved is not successful in these actions, or the statutory 30-month stay expires before a ruling from the district court is obtained, the firms involved will have the ability, upon FDA approval, to introduce generic versions of the product at issue resulting in very substantial market share and revenue losses for the product of the Company’s subsidiary.
     As noted in the following chart, 30-month stays expired during 2009, and will expire in 2010, 2011 and 2012 with respect to ANDA challenges regarding various products:

JOHNSON & JOHNSON
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
     In the action against Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Barr) (now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries LTD.) regarding ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN® LO, in January 2008, the Company’s subsidiary Ortho Women’s Health & Urology, a Division of Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OMJPI), and Barr agreed to a non-binding term sheet to settle the litigation, which settlement discussions are still underway. The trial court postponed the January 2008 trial without setting a new trial date. In June 2009, Barr launched its generic product “at risk” before trial. OMJPI sought a preliminary injunction and recall of Barr product which the Court granted in July 2009. In July 2009, the parties entered into a definitive agreement to settle the lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, Barr obtained a release for its sales of its generic product in exchange for an undisclosed royalty payment. Barr also obtained a non-exclusive, royalty-bearing license to re-enter the market on December 31, 2015, or earlier in certain limited circumstances.
     In October 2008, the Company’s subsidiary OMJPI filed suit in Federal District Court in New Jersey against Watson Laboratories, Inc. (Watson) in response to Watson’s ANDA regarding ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN® LO. In June 2009, the Company’s subsidiary OMJPI filed suit in Federal District Court in New Jersey against Sandoz Laboratories, Inc. (Sandoz) in response to Sandoz’s ANDA regarding ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN® LO. The Sandoz and Watson cases have been consolidated.
     In January 2010, the Company’s subsidiary OMJPI filed suit in Federal District Court in New Jersey against Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively “Lupin”) in response to Lupin’s ANDA regarding ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN® LO.
     In the action against Barr and AlphaPharm with respect to their ANDA challenges to the RAZADYNE® patent that Janssen (now OMJPI) licenses from Synaptech, Inc. (Synaptech), a four-day non-jury trial was held in the Federal District Court in Delaware in May 2007. In August 2008, the court held that the patent was invalid because it was not enabled. Janssen (OMJPI) and Synaptech have appealed the decision. Since the court’s decision, multiple generic companies have received final approvals for their products and have launched “at risk” pending appeal. Additional generic approvals and launches could occur at any time. In September 2009, the Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment that the patent is invalid.
     In the action by McNEIL-PPC, Inc. (McNeil-PPC) and ALZA Corporation (ALZA) against Andrx Corporation (Andrx) with respect to its ANDA challenge to the CONCERTA® patents, a five-day non-jury trial was held in the Federal District Court in Delaware in December 2007. In March 2009, the court ruled that one CONCERTA® patent would not be infringed by Andrx’s proposed generic product and that the patent was invalid because it was not enabled. The court dismissed without prejudice Andrx’s declaratory judgment suit on a second patent for lack of jurisdiction. McNeil-PPC and ALZA filed an appeal in May 2009. The appeals court heard argument on February 3, 2010. A decision is pending.
     ALZA and OMJPI filed a second suit in Federal District Court in Delaware against Kremers-Urban, LLC and KUDCO Ireland, Ltd. (KUDCO) in January 2010 in response to KUDCO’s ANDA challenge regarding CONCERTA® tablets. In its notice letter, KUDCO contends that two ALZA patents for CONCERTA® are invalid and not infringed by a KUDCO generic.
     In the RAZADYNE® ER cases, a lawsuit was filed against Barr on the RAZADYNE® use patent that Janssen (now OMJPI) licenses from Synaptech in June 2006. In September 2008, the above-discussed Delaware decision invalidating the RAZADYNE® use patent resulted in entry of judgment for Barr on that patent, but the case will be reopened if Janssen (now OMJPI) and Synaptech win on appeal. Barr has received FDA approval of its product and has launched “at risk.” In September 2009, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Delaware decision invalidating the RAZADYNE® use patent. As a result, this case will not be reopened.
     In the action against Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Lupin) regarding its ANDA concerning LEVAQUIN®, Lupin contends that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office improperly granted a patent term extension to the patent that Ortho-McNeil (now Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OMJPI)) licenses from Daiichi Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Daiichi). Lupin alleges that the active ingredient in LEVAQUIN® was the subject of prior marketing, and therefore was not eligible for the patent term extension. Lupin concedes validity and that its product would violate the patent if marketed prior to the expiration of the original patent term. Summary judgment against Lupin was granted in May 2009 and Lupin appealed. Oral argument was held in September 2009. A decision is pending.
     In the ULTRAM® ER actions, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Ortho-McNeil) (now OMJPI), filed lawsuits (each for different dosages) against Par Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Par Pharmaceuticals Companies, Inc. (Par) in May, June and October 2007 on two Tramadol ER formulation patents owned by Purdue Pharma Products L.P. (Purdue) and Napp Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. (Napp). OMJPI also filed lawsuits (each for different dosages) against Impax Laboratories, Inc. (Impax) on a Tramadol ER formulation patent owned by Purdue and Napp in August and November 2008. Purdue, Napp and Biovail Laboratories International SRL (Biovail) (the NDA holder) joined as co-plaintiffs in the lawsuits against Par and Impax, but Biovail and OMJPI were subsequently dismissed for lack of standing. The trial against Par took place in April 2009. In August 2009, the Court issued a decision finding the patents-in-suit invalid. Purdue has appealed that decision. The trial against Impax is scheduled for June 2010. In November 2009, the case against Impax was stayed with the consent of all parties. In September and October 2009, respectively, Purdue filed suits against Paddock Laboratories, Inc. (Paddock) and Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Cipher) on its Tramadol ER formulation patents.
     In January 2010, Purdue filed a suit against Lupin Ltd. (Lupin) on its Tramadol ER formulation patents.
     In September 2009, Centocor Ortho Biotech Products, L.P. (COBI, LP) intervened in an inventorship dispute between Kansas University Center for Research (KUCR) involving certain U.S. government-owned VELCADE® formulation patents. KUCR brought this action against the U.S. government in the District of Kansas seeking to add two Kansas University scientists to the patents. The U.S. government licensed the patents (and their foreign counterparts) to Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., who in turn sublicensed the patents (and their foreign counterparts) to COBI,LP for commercial marketing outside the U.S. If KUCR succeeds in its co-inventorship claim and establishes co-ownership in the U.S. VELCADE® formulation patents, we anticipate that KUCR will initiate actions to establish co-inventorship and co-ownership with respect to the foreign counterpart patents in the countries where COBI, LP has commercial marketing rights. If KUCR in Kansas is successful, this may adversely affect COBI, LP’s license rights in those countries.
AVERAGE WHOLESALE PRICE (AWP) LITIGATION
Johnson & Johnson and several of its pharmaceutical subsidiaries, along with numerous other pharmaceutical companies, are defendants in a series of lawsuits in state and federal courts involving allegations that the pricing and marketing of certain pharmaceutical products amounted to fraudulent and otherwise actionable conduct because, among other things, the companies allegedly reported an inflated Average Wholesale Price (AWP) for the drugs at issue. Many of these cases, both federal actions and state actions

removed to federal court, have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes in a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) in Federal District Court in Boston, Massachusetts. The plaintiffs in these cases include classes of private persons or entities that paid for any portion of the purchase of the drugs at issue based on AWP, and state government entities that made Medicaid payments for the drugs at issue based on AWP.
     The MDL Court identified classes of Massachusetts-only private insurers providing “Medi-gap” insurance coverage and private payers for physician-administered drugs where payments were based on AWP (“Class 2” and “Class 3”), and a national class of individuals who made co-payments for physician-administered drugs covered by Medicare (“Class 1”). A trial of the two Massachusetts-only class actions concluded before the MDL Court in December 2006. In June 2007, the MDL Court issued post-trial rulings, dismissing the Johnson & Johnson defendants from the case regarding all claims of Classes 2 and 3, and subsequently of Class 1 as well. Plaintiffs appealed the Class 1 judgment and, in September 2009, the Court of Appeals vacated the judgment and remanded for further proceedings in the District Court. AWP cases brought by various Attorneys General have proceeded to trial against other manufacturers. One state case against certain of the Company’s subsidiaries has been set for trial in late 2010, and other state cases are likely to be set for trial thereafter.
OTHER
In July 2003, Centocor (now COBI), a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, received a request that it voluntarily provide documents and information to the criminal division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of New Jersey, in connection with its investigation into various Centocor marketing practices. Subsequent requests for documents have been received from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Both the Company and Centocor have responded to these requests for documents and information.
     In December 2003, Ortho-McNeil (now OMJPI) received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston, Massachusetts seeking documents relating to the marketing, including alleged off-label marketing, of the drug TOPAMAX® (topiramate). Additional subpoenas for documents have been received, and current and former employees have testified before a grand jury. Discussions are underway in an effort to resolve this matter, but whether agreement can be reached and on what terms is uncertain.
     In January 2004, Janssen (now OMJPI) received a subpoena from the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management seeking documents concerning sales and marketing of, any and all payments to physicians in connection with sales and marketing of, and clinical trials for, RISPERDAL® (risperidone) from 1997 to 2002. Documents subsequent to 2002 have also been requested. An additional subpoena seeking information about marketing of and adverse reactions to RISPERDAL® was received from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in November 2005. Subpoenas seeking testimony from various witnesses before a grand jury have also been received. Janssen is cooperating in responding to ongoing requests for documents and witnesses. The government is continuing to actively investigate this matter. In February 2010, the government served Civil Investigative Demands seeking additional information relating to sales and marketing of RISPERDAL® and sales and marketing of INVEGA®.
     In September 2004, Ortho Biotech Inc. (Ortho Biotech) (now COBI), received a subpoena from the U.S. Office of Inspector General’s Denver, Colorado field office seeking documents directed to the sales and marketing of PROCRIT® (Epoetin alfa) from 1997 to the present, as well as to dealings with U.S. Oncology Inc., a healthcare services network for oncologists. Ortho Biotech (now COBI) has responded to the subpoena.
     In September 2004, plaintiffs in an employment discrimination litigation initiated against the Company in 2001 in Federal District Court in New Jersey moved to certify a class of all African American and Hispanic salaried employees of the Company and its affiliates in the U.S., who were employed at any time from November 1997 to the present. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages for the period 1997 through the present (including punitive damages) and equitable relief. The Court denied plaintiffs’ class certification motion in December 2006 and their motion for reconsideration in April 2007. Plaintiffs sought to appeal these decisions and, in April 2008, the Court of Appeals ruled that plaintiffs’ appeal of the denial of class certification was untimely. In July 2009, plaintiffs filed a motion for certification of a modified class, which the Company is opposing. Plaintiffs are engaged in further discovery of individual plaintiffs’ claims. The hearing on plaintiffs’ motion for class certification is scheduled for July 2010.
     In March 2005, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. (DePuy), a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of New Jersey, seeking records concerning contractual relationships between DePuy and surgeons or surgeons-in-training involved in hip and knee replacement and reconstructive surgery. This investigation was resolved by DePuy and the four other leading suppliers of hip and knee implants in late September 2007 by agreements with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey. The settlements included an 18-month Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA), a
