Filing late does not mean there is something wrong with the company. It's a cause for concern, but you need to find out what is the reason. If there is nothing serious and the announcement is handled properly, it should not impact the stock price.

It usually means that they are not able to meet the deadline by which their financial statements must be filed with a regulatory body. You should always dig deep and try to find out the reason behind it if you are investing in the firm.
Just as an example, RIM has/will miss its deadline by a long shot because of some Stock options' issues.

Every 3 months, companies must file their financial information (Profit and Loss, etc.) to the stocks/securities regulatory body called the Securities and Exchange Commission. These information are referred to as one form of regulatory filings.
There are other forms of regulatory filings.

It means that they are late in providing the information that they are required to provide by the Federal Government. Publicly traded companies have filing requirements just like you are required to file a tax return. When they are late, there is usually a serious problem.
