A Copy of the Letter:

Members of the Board,

Regan Partners, L.P. currently beneficially owns approximately 6.37% of the common shares outstanding of Edgar Online and we have become significantly concerned by the Company's continued losses, and senior management's consistently inaccurate guidance and what we believe to be the resulting complete loss of credibility in the eyes of its shareholders and the investor community. The management of Susan Strausberg (CEO and President) has been ineffective at best. The company has lost money for the last twelve years. Revenues in the year 2006 were lower than those reported 2001, during which time it has lost over $31.5 million in net income and the number of shares outstanding has gone from fifteen million to twenty-six million, a seventy-five percent increase. Despite this continued issuance of shares, the company is left with a marginal balance sheet. This abysmal record speaks for itself. It is our view that Mrs. Strausberg does not have the managerial skill set required to increase shareholder value, particularly at this critical time. It appears to us that Edgar Online, Inc. is a rudderless company which has left shareholders significantly at risk.

Management has repeatedly given guidance forecasting a return to positive EBITDA and revenue growth. As illustrated below, the gap between Edgar Online management forecasts and actual results is extraordinary. This set of inaccurate guidance and failure to perform has caused the investment community to lose confidence in Mrs. Strausberg.

Why is this record of losses and demonstrated inability to profitably run this business acceptable? The Board's inaction raises questions about its effectiveness and independence. To begin with, we believe it is poor governance for the Chairman of the Board and CEO to be a married couple. This relationship eliminates any sense of independence and allows these two people to control the Board's agenda. Further, excluding stock options, the outside Directors own only 83,000 shares of Edgar Online, Inc. stock (to say nothing of Mr. Strausberg's sales of personal shares). In addition to senior management, we believe that a significant portion of the company's shareholder base has lost confidence in this Board of Directors. I would like to remind the Board of Directors of their ultimate fiduciary duty to the shareholders, not management. In today's corporate environment where the spotlight is on Board oversight, independence and accountability, the deafening silence from the Edgar Online Board over the last several years would surely be construed by some experts as neglectful.

The poor operating results, loss of investor confidence in management, and governance concerns collectively demand that significant changes in management and the Board of Directors be made immediately. We therefore demand that:

1. Senior management be replaced immediately.

2. The Board appoint three (3) independent Directors of our choosing. Based on the board's current size constraint, this would require two (2) or more current directors to resign.

3. The Company provide us with a complete list of shareholders.

4. You hold an immediate meeting with us and the Independent Directors of the Board to discuss how it plans to effect these changes.

We believe these requests will improve shareholder value and if the Board fails to honor these requests, we reserve the right to take any and all further action.

Sincerely,

Regan Partners, L.P.

Basil P. Regan, General Partner
