Company Overview

Johnson & Johnson's commitment to innovative health care products has resulted
in consistent financial performance. The Company has 31 consecutive years of
adjusted earnings increases and 53 consecutive years of dividend increases.
Johnson & Johnson, through its family of companies, employs approximately
127,000 people worldwide and is engaged in the research and development,
manufacture and sale of a broad range of products in the health care field in
virtually all countries of the world. Johnson & Johnson's primary interest, both
historically and currently, has been in products related to human health and wellbeing. Johnson & Johnson was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1887.
Johnson & Johnson is organized on the principle of decentralized management.
The Executive Committee of Johnson & Johnson is the principal management
group responsible for the strategic operations and allocation of resources of the
Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies. Johnson & Johnson's operating
companies are organized into three business segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical
and Medical Devices and Diagnostics. A Group Operating Committee, composed
of managers who represent key operations within the segment, as well as
management in specialized functional departments, oversees and coordinates the
activities of domestic and international companies related to each of the business
segments. However, in line with the principle of decentralized management, senior
management groups at U.S. and international operating companies are each
responsible for their own strategic plans, as well as the day-to-day operations of
those companies, and each international company is, with some exceptions,
managed by citizens of the country where it is located.
