The study uses valuation model by Ohlson (1995) to test the value relevance of accounting numbers.The result of the study indicated that the information asymmetry would be reduced if the R&D disclosure includes the details of R&D in terms of number of molecules and their respective stages (e.g. Phase 3 molecule will be more valuable than the pre clinical) . Further disclosing whether the molecule falls in the therapeutic area or life style category would help in accessing the growth of the firm largely.
