MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gladstone Land Corporation (NASDAQ: LAND) (the "Company") announced today that it plans to postpone the release of its earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013,  until after the stock market closes on Wednesday, August 7, 2013. The Company will hold a conference call on Thursday, August 8, 2013, at 8:30 a.m. EDT to discuss its earnings results.  The Company has postponed its earnings call in order to thoroughly review tax elections available to it related to additional tax depreciation that could maximize deductions in previous years and potentially generate substantial tax refunds. The Company recently identified these additional tax depreciation deductions and requires more time to accurately complete its second quarter financial statements and to evaluate the impact of such deductions on its current and previously filed financial statements, if any.
