SOUTH NORWALK, Conn. – October 11, 2005 – EDGAR® Online®, Inc. (Nasdaq: EDGR), a leading provider of value-added business and financial information on global companies, announced today that it has been named to Deloitte’s Connecticut Technology Fast 50 program for the fifth time. The program ranks the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in the state. Deloitte bases its rankings on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues over five years, from 2000 to 2004.

EDGAR Online president and CEO Susan Strausberg said, “Since the inception of our company, we have brought continuous innovation to the financial information marketplace. The latest example is our I-Metrix suite of XBRL-based products, which we launched earlier this year. We are, of course, pleased to be among the fastest-growing technology companies in Connecticut and appreciate the recognition provided by Deloitte's Connecticut Technology Fast 50 program.”

Alex Discepolo, a director at Deloitte Tax LLP and chairperson of the Connecticut Technology Fast 50 said, “To rank on Deloitte’s Connecticut Technology Fast 50, companies must have phenomenal revenue growth over five years. EDGAR Online has proven to be one of the fast-growth success stories in Connecticut, and we applaud their dedication to making their vision reality.”

To qualify for the Connecticut Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2000 and $1,000,000 in 2004, be headquartered in Connecticut and be a “technology company” – defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify.
