Adds 8-K Earnings Release Conversions to XBRL Format; Offers Data Feeds from Chinese Stock Exchanges

SOUTH NORWALK, Conn. – June 12, 2006 – EDGAR® Online®, Inc. (Nasdaq: EDGR) announced today that it has significantly expanded the number of public companies to more than 10,000 for which it currently provides interactive financial data. Offered through EDGAR Online’s I-Metrix platform, the interactive data is tagged according to the XBRL global standard that enhances the transparency and usability of information used for decision making by investors as well as analysts and regulators.

"The interactive data provided by our I-Metrix solution not only democratizes access to financial information, it potentially helps more analysts cover more companies, thereby benefiting all investors out there managing their own portfolios," said Susan Strausberg, CEO of EDGAR Online. "Better information on more companies gives investors increased market intelligence and the ability to benchmark performance as they seek to diversify their holdings across multiple companies and sectors."

The Company also announced that I-Metrix has expanded its client offerings to include 8-K earnings releases from US public companies. "The financial information in 8-K filings adds another facet to the overall picture of a company to give investors and analysts a more three-dimensional view of performance," added Strausberg. "Our near real-time turnaround and unique accuracy rate provide our users with unprecedented access to detailed actionable information."

EDGAR Online also unveiled another major enhancement to its exclusive solutions – the addition of interactive, XBRL-enabled data feeds from companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Chinese stock exchanges as a way to begin offering its clients global benchmarking tools.

In related news, EDGAR Online announced that the Company continues to move forward with its R. R. Donnelley partnership to convert public company financial statements to XBRL for participants in the SEC’s Voluntary Filing Program.

"We are on target to double the number of companies participating in the SEC program," said Strausberg. "We're encouraged by the SEC's continued support of interactive data in public company financial reports and Chairman Cox's recent recognition of EDGAR Online's I-Metrix solution as a tool that gives us ‘an idea of what the future could be like.' I-Metrix has brought the future forward to investors, analysts and regulators today!"
