Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants, the Pension Committee and the Compensation & Benefits Committee of the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan (the Plan) at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
| 1. |

| General |
| The Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan (the Plan) is a participant directed defined
contribution plan which was established on June 1, 1982 for eligible salaried and non-union
hourly employees of Johnson & Johnson (J&J or the Company) and certain domestic
subsidiaries. The Plan was designed to enhance the existing retirement program of eligible
employees. The funding of the Plan is made through employee and Company contributions. As of
January 1, 2003, the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan Trust and Johnson & Johnson Pension
Trust Fund merged to form a single Master Trust, the Johnson & Johnson Pension and Savings
Plans Master Trust (the Trust). The Plans interest in the Trust is allocated to the Plan
based upon the total of each participants share in the Trust. |
| This brief description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only.
Participants should refer to the Plan document for complete information. |
| Contributions |
| In general, full-time salaried employees and certain non-union hourly, part-time and
temporary employees can contribute to the Plan, as there is no service requirement for
employee contributions. |
| Contributions are made to the Plan by participants through payroll deductions and by the
Company on behalf of the participants. Participating employees may contribute a minimum of
3% up to a maximum of 35% of eligible pay, as defined by the Plan. Contributions can be
pre-tax, post-tax or a combination of both. Pre-tax contributions may not exceed the smaller
of (i) 35% of a participants base salary or (ii) $15,500 for 2007. The maximum
contributions to a participants account including participant pre-tax and post-tax
contributions and the employer match is $45,000 for 2007. |
| Effective July 1, 2002, participants age 50 and over are eligible to contribute extra
pre-tax contributions (catch-up contribution) above the annual IRS limitations up to
$5,000 in 2007. Participants can elect an amount to be contributed from each paycheck as
their catch-up contribution. This amount will be in addition to the pre-tax and post-tax
contribution percentages that participants have elected. |
| After one year of service, participants receive an employer matching contribution equal to
75% of the first 6% of a participants contributions. The employer matching contribution is
composed of cash and invested in the current investment fund mix
chosen by the participant. |
| Investments |
| Participants may invest in one or more of the nine investment funds offered by the Plan. The
investment mix chosen by the participant will apply to employee and Company matching
contributions. Rollover contributions are invested at the election of the participant. |
| In the third quarter of 1998, J&J incorporated a dividend pass-through feature into the
Plan. Up through 2001, the pass-through was distributed to each participant via check.
Effective January 1, 2002, dividends are automatically reinvested in the Johnson & Johnson Stock |

Fund unless specific elections are made to receive payment via check. Participants who had their dividends reinvested in the Johnson & Johnson Stock Fund had an opportunity in early 2002 to receive those 2001 dividends in cash. The eligibility to receive a dividend pass-through is contingent on the ownership of shares in the Johnson & Johnson Stock Fund, which includes shares owned in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan Fund (ESOP). The 2007 dividend pass-through amount paid to participants of $3,880,172 is reflected as benefits paid to participants in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.
For all other funds, the Trustee reinvests all dividend and interest income.
Vesting
A participants interest in his/her account, including participant contributions, Company contributions and earnings thereon, will be at all times fully vested. As a result, there are no forfeitures under the Plan.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are paid to participants upon termination of employment, long-term disability or retirement. Participants can elect to defer payment until age 70 1 / 2 if account balances are greater than $5,000. Distributions are paid either in a lump sum payment or installment payments made on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Installment payments are made over a period of years selected by the participant.
A participants account may be distributed to his/her beneficiaries in lump sum, in installments or maintained in the Trust upon the participants death only if the beneficiary is a spouse. Otherwise, it is paid to the beneficiary in a lump sum.
Participants are allowed to withdraw an amount equal to their pre-August 1, 2003 post-tax contributions and earnings thereon, and unmatched post-tax contributions made after August 1, 2003 by the employee and earnings thereon, at any time. Participants may withdraw pre-tax contributions, post-tax matched contributions, and the employer match after August 1, 2003, only upon meeting certain hardship conditions. The benefits to which participants are entitled are the amounts provided by contributions (Company and participant) and investment earnings thereon, including net realized and unrealized gains and losses which have been allocated to the participants account balance. Participants have the option of receiving all or part of their balance in the Johnson & Johnson Stock Fund as either cash or in shares of Johnson & Johnson Common Stock (plus cash for fractional shares) for lump sum distributions other than a hardship.
Administrative Expenses
All third-party administrative expenses are paid by the Plan, unless otherwise provided for by the Company.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow up to a maximum of 50% of their account balance. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum amount of all outstanding loans cannot exceed $50,000. Loans bear an interest rate of prime plus 1% and are repayable within one to five years. Due to acquisitions, there are some existing loans extending beyond five years, which must be allowed to continue, once transferred into the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan. The collateralized balance in the participants account bears interest at rates that range from 3.8% to 11.33%. Principal and interest is paid

ratably through payroll deductions for active employees. Loans must be paid within two months following retirement or termination of employment with the Company. If the loan is not repaid in full, the unpaid balance, plus accrued interest, will be deducted from the participants account balance and reported to the IRS as a distribution.
Termination
Although it has not expressed an intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a partial or full Plan termination, all Plan funds must be used exclusively for the benefit of the Plan participants, in that each participant would receive the respective value in their account.
| 2. |
| --- |
| Basis of Accounting |
| The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. |
| Investment Valuation and Income Recognition of the Trust |
| The Plans interest in the Trust is stated at fair value. The majority of
the securities are traded on a national securities exchange and are valued
at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year.
Securities not traded on a national securities exchange are valued using
external pricing vendors, which may include the investment manager.
Estimated fair market value for these securities, primarily fixed income,
are typically made using pricing matrices or models. Where readily
available, multiple pricing sources are used by the custodian bank to
verify these estimates. |
| As the investment funds contain various underlying assets such as stock and short-term
investments, the participants account balance is reported in units of participation, which
allows for immediate transfers in and out of the funds. The purchase or redemption price of
the units is determined by the Trustee, based on the current market value of the underlying
assets of the funds. Each funds net asset value is the value of a single unit, which is
computed by adding the value of the funds investments, cash and other assets, and
subtracting liabilities, then dividing the result by the number of units outstanding. |
| Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Gains and losses on
the sale of investment securities are determined on the average cost method. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned on an accrual
basis. |
| Net Appreciation (Depreciation) |
| The Plan presents, in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits, the
Plans interest in the net appreciation (depreciation) of the fair value of investments held
in the Trust, which consists of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the underlying
investments and realized gains and losses on sales of investments. |
| Payment of Benefits |
| Benefits are recorded when paid. |

Notes to Financial Statements
Derivatives
The Trust will invest in securities from time to time that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. To hedge against adverse changes in foreign exchange rates relating to non-U.S. dollar denominated investments, the Trust may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts. Forward foreign exchange contracts qualify as a derivative under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). The holder is exposed to credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk for changes in interest and currency rates. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Net Assets Available For Plan Benefits. The Trust attempts to mitigate this credit risk by utilizing the same policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments, and through structured trading with reputable parties and continual monitoring procedures. Accordingly the Trust does not anticipate losses for nonperformance. The Trust does not require collateral or other security to support forward foreign exchange contracts. The Trust accounts for forward foreign exchange contracts at fair value. The Trust had forward exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006 in various currencies. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the notional amount outstanding for these contracts in the Trust was $7,090,172 and $3,162,281, respectively, and the net currency (loss)/gain recognized during 2007 and 2006 by the Trust was $31,996 and ($94,770) respectively. The Trust held no other material derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements . This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and the Plan will adopt the statement and become effective in 2008. The Plan believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material effect on its Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Plans financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and the changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period and, when applicable, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in funds which can invest in a combination of equity, fixed income securities and other investments. Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts
On December 29, 2005, the FASB released FASB Staff Position Nos. AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), which became effective for the Plan on December 31, 2006. The FSP requires that investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement criteria for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As required by the FSP, the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

| Effective January 1, 2003, the assets of the Plan are maintained in the Johnson & Johnson
Pension and Savings Plans Master Trust. The Plan holds approximately 51.94% and 52.65%,

| The Trust holds investments in traditional and synthetic guaranteed investment contracts
(GICs). The weighted average insurance financial strength rating of the insurers for these
contracts is AA. These investments are recorded at their fair values. The traditional GICs
contract value represents contributions made under the contract and reinvested income, less
any withdrawals. The synthetic GICs are recorded at the wrapper contract value, which
represents the value of the underlying assets owned by the Trust plus the amount designed to
smooth the impact of normal market fluctuations on those assets. Both the traditional and
synthetic GICs are fully benefit-responsive. Participants may under most circumstances
direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.
Currently no reserves are needed against contract values for credit risk of the contract
issuers or otherwise. |
| The traditional GICs provide a fixed return on principal over a specified period of time
through fully benefit-responsive contracts issued by an insurance company, which are backed
by the general account of that insurer. The contract value of the traditional GICs was
$668,248,591 and $690,625,785 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The fair value of
the traditional GICs, as determined by using discounted cash flows, was $676,465,649 and
$685,036,934 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. |
| The synthetic GIC provides a return over a period of time through a fully benefit-responsive
contract, or wrapper contract, which is backed by the underlying assets owned by the Trust.
The portfolio of assets, overall of AA+ credit quality, underlying the synthetic GIC
includes mortgages, corporate, and United States Treasury Notes and Bonds. The contract
value of the synthetic GIC was $449,244,716 and $377,024,858 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The fair value of the synthetic GICs, as determined by using discounted cash flows, was
$454,418,527 and $378,480,691 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. |

The crediting interest rates for the synthetic GIC is calculated on a quarterly basis using the contract value, and the market value, yield and duration of the underlying securities, and cannot be less than zero. The crediting interest rates for the traditional GICs are agreed to in advance with the issuer. The crediting interest rate for the contracts at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 5.03% and 4.53%, respectively. Effective April 2007, the crediting rate is calculated on a monthly basis, and no longer on a quarterly basis. In the event of extreme changes in interest rates, the crediting rate may be adjusted to reflect current market conditions.
Key factors that could influence future average interest crediting rates include, but are not limited to: participant directed cash flows; changes in interest rates; total return performance of the fair market value bond strategies underlying the synthetic GIC contract; default or credit failures of any of the securities, investment contracts, or other investments held in the Plan; the initiation of an extended termination (immunization) of the synthetic GIC contract.
The average market value yield of the contracts for 2007 and 2006 was 4.86% and 4.35%, respectively (calculated by taking the average of the monthly market value weighted yields of the investments). The average yield earned by the contracts that reflects the actual interest credited to participants for 2007 and 2006 was 4.80% and 4.40%, respectively (calculated by dividing annualized earnings credited to participants by the market value of the Interest Income Fund).
There are certain events not initiated by Plan participants that limit the ability of the Plan to transact with the issuer of a GIC at its contract value. Specific coverage provided by each traditional GIC and synthetic GIC may be different from each issuer, and can be found in the individual traditional GIC or synthetic GIC contracts held by the Plan. Examples of such events include: the Plans failure to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended; full or partial termination of the Plan; involuntary termination of employment as a result of a corporate merger, divestiture, spin-off, or other significant business restructuring, which may include early retirement incentive programs or bankruptcy; changes to the administration of the Plan which decreases employee or employer contributions, the establishment of a competing Plan by the plan sponsor, the introduction of a competing investment option, or other Plan amendment that has not been approved by the contract issuers; dissemination of a participant communication that is designed to induce participants to transfer assets from this investment option; events resulting in a material and adverse financial impact on the contract issuer, including changes in the tax code, laws or regulations. The Plan Fiduciaries do not believe that the occurrence of any of the aforementioned events, which would limit the Plans ability to transact with the issuer of a GIC at its contract value with participants, is probable.

| The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated | |
| December 31, 2002, that the Plan and the Trust are in compliance with applicable sections of | |
| the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the | |
| determination letter, the Plan Administrator and the Plans tax counsel believe that the | |
| Plan is currently designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable | |
| requirements of the IRC. | |
| 6. | Related Party Transactions |
| Certain Plan investments are shares of institutional commingled funds managed by State | |
| Street Global Advisors, a division of State Street. State Street is the Trustee as defined | |
| by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As | |
