The information set forth in this presentation does not constitute an offer, solicitation or recommendation to sell or an offer to buy any securities of the
Company. The information published herein is provided for informational purposes only. The Company makes no representation that the information and

The

but
may

or

The SEC has generally permitted oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by
actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We may use the
terms
“estimated
ultimate
recovery,”
“EUR,”
“probable,”
“possible,”
and
“non-proven”
reserves,
“prospective
resources”
or
“upside”
or
other
descriptions
of
volumes
of
resources
or
reserves
potentially
recoverable
through
additional
drilling
or
recovery
techniques
that
the
SEC’s
guidelines
may
prohibit
us
from
including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to
substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the Company. There is no certainty that any portion of estimated prospective resources will be discovered.
If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the estimated prospective resources.
BOE
is
derived
by
converting
natural
gas
to
oil
in
the
ratio
of
six
thousand
cubic
feet
(Mcf)
of
natural
gas
to
one
barrel
(bbl)
of
oil.
Boe
may
be
misleading,
particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner
tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Delayed 10-K
5
As
announced
in
our
Press
Release
yesterday,
TransAtlantic
needs
additional
time
to
file
our
2012
Form
10-K, and we have filed Form 12b-25 which provides an additional 15 days to file our Form 10-K
Time extension is due to prior period errors that relate to the allocation of well costs to our depletion
schedule
during
the
years
2009
through
2011,
which
result
in
the
understatement
of
depletion
expense
recorded
on
the
Company’s
financials
for
the
years
2009
through
2012.
Note
that
depletion
expense
is
a
non-cash item.
We
are
working
with
our
independent
registered
public
accounting
firm
to
evaluate
the
impact
of
these
prior
period errors on both the current and prior period financial statements.
Management and the Board of Directors have already initiated a process to hire a third party accounting
consultant to assist and supplement the in-house accounting staff with a thorough review of all prior period
accounting and documentation.


Preliminary 4Q12 Financials
6
Until we file the 10-K, we can only provide limited financial information
We expect fourth quarter Net Loss from Continuing Operations to be between $20 to $25 million
The fourth quarter included exploration, abandonment and impairment charges of approximately $24
million largely driven by dry holes on several high risk exploration wells including Konak-1 ($9.5mm)
and Durukoy-1 ($6.3mm) and impairment of value on several of our unproved property licenses
($7.7mm)
We expect fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDAX from Continuing Operations to be between $22 to $24 million
As of December 31, 2012
Cash balance of $14.8 million
Long-term debt of $32.8 million
No short-term debt

Selmo Remapping
19
Selmo Overview
Extensive work has been done
to remap and model Selmo to
identify bypassed oil due to the
extremely fractured nature of
the field.
New dynamic model
incorporates updated
substructure mapping with
production and pressure
histories to determine the areas
of the field that will most
benefit from a horizontal drilling
campaign. 
We believe horizontal wellbores
will allow pressure drawdown
that is more uniform across the
length of the wellbore and
prevent water coning or
premature breakthrough of
water. 
2013 budget provides for 4
horizontal wells in the Middle
Sinan Dolomite (MSD) and 1
horizontal well in the Lower
Sinan Dolomite (LSD).

This presentation references estimated EBITDAX, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, interest,
depreciation, depletion, amortization, impairment, abandonment and exploration expense. 
The Company believes EBITDAX assists management and investors in
comparing the Company’s performance and ability to fund capital expenditures and working capital
requirements
on
a
consistent
basis
without
regard
to
depreciation,
depletion
and
amortization,
impairment
of
natural
gas
and
oil
properties
and
exploration
expenses,
which
can vary significantly from period to period.  In addition, management uses EBITDAX as a financial measure to evaluate the Company’s operating performance.  EBITDAX is
also widely used by investors and rating agencies.
EBITDAX is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.  Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for net income, income from operations, or cash flow
provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Information regarding income taxes, interest, depreciation, depletion, amortization, impairment,
abandonment and exploration expense is unavailable on a forward looking basis. Net income, income from operations, or cash flow provided by operating activities may vary
materially from EBITDAX.  Investors should carefully consider the specific items included in the computation of EBITDAX.  The Company has disclosed EBITDAX to permit a
comparative analysis of its operating performance and debt servicing ability relative to other companies.

are
not
intended
to
represent
the
current
market
value
of
the
estimated
oil
and
natural
gas reserves we own. Management believes that the presentation of PV-10, while not a financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
provides useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional analysts and sophisticated investors in evaluating oil and
natural gas companies. Because many factors that are unique to each individual company impact the amount of future income taxes
estimated to be paid, the use of a pre-tax measure is valuable when comparing companies based on reserves. PV-10 is not a measure of
financial or operating performance under U.S. GAAP. PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure as defined
under U.S. GAAP.
