Late Report for Drkoop.com

Ailing Drkoop.com Inc. said it will be late in filing its quarterly financial report because it is negotiating new financing and possible “strategic transactions.” The negotiations, including a possible sale of the Austin, Texas-based online health company, have taken up the time of the company’s financial staff, it said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company said last month that it expects to post a loss of $1.15 to $1.18 a share. Shares of Drkoop.com fell 2 cents to close at 80 cents on Nasdaq.
