Amounts are net of write-offs     and gross of specific allowances, both of which are not considered     material.(2)  Securities include cash products, insurance investments and traded     credit. Gross traded credit includes only the long positions and     excludes offsetting short positions.(3)  Repo-style transactions are all with bank counterparties.(4)  Derivatives amounts are marked-to-market, incorporating transaction     netting and, for counterparties where a Credit Support Annex is in     effect, collateral offsets. Derivative replacement risk net of     collateral for all of Europe is approximately $2.8 billion.(5)  Does not include Irish subsidiary reserves we are required to maintain     with the Irish Central Bank of $85 million.(6)  Includes countries with less than $500 million in gross exposure. Other     Eurozone includes exposures to Austria, Belgium, Finland, Luxembourg,     Slovakia and Slovenia. Other Rest of Europe includes exposures to     Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Iceland, Poland and the Russian     Federation.(7)  BMO's direct exposures to GIIPS are primarily to banks for trade     finance and trading products. Net exposures remain modest at $81     million, with no unfunded commitments.(8)  Sovereign includes sovereign-backed bank cash products.(9)  Our net direct exposure to the other Eurozone countries (the other 12     countries that share the common euro currency) totalled approximately     $3.7 billion, of which 76% was to counterparties in countries with a     rating of Aaa/AAA by both Moody's and S&P, with approximately 84% rated     Aaa/AAA by one of the two rating agencies. Our net direct exposure to     the rest of Europe totalled approximately $4.1 billion, of which 92%     was to counterparties in countries with a Moody's/S&P rating of     Aaa/AAA. A significant majority of our sovereign exposure consists of     tradeable cash products, while exposure related to banks was comprised     of trading instruments, short-term debt, derivative positions and     letters of credit and guarantees.(10) Other Exposures (including indirect exposures) not included in the     table above as at January 31, 2013:--  BMO also has exposure to entities in a number of European countries    through our credit protection vehicle, U.S customer securitization    vehicle and structured investment vehicle. These exposures are not    included in the tables due to the credit protection incorporated in    their structures.    --  BMO has direct exposure to those credit structures, which in turn        have exposures to loans or securities originated by entities in        Europe. As noted on pages 65 and 66 of BMO's 2012 annual MD&A in the        Credit Protection Vehicle and Structured Investment Vehicle        sections, these structures all have first-loss protection and hedges        are in place for our credit protection vehicle.    --  The notional exposure held in the credit protection vehicle to        issuers in Greece, Italy and Spain represented 0.6%, 0.9% and 1.1%,        respectively, of its total notional exposure. The credit protection        vehicle had notional exposure to seven of the other 12 countries        that share the euro currency. This exposure represented 11.2% of        total notional exposure, of which 82.4% was rated investment grade        by S&P (71.4% by Moody's). The notional exposure to the rest of        Europe was 13.0% of total notional exposure, with 66.9% rated        investment grade by S&P (61.1% by Moody's). BMO is well protected as        a result of both first-loss protection and hedges that are in place.    --  BMO has exposure to GIIPS and other European countries through our        U.S. customer securitization vehicle, which has commitments that        involve reliance on collateral of which 0.98% represents loans or        securities originated by entities in Europe. At quarter end,        exposure to Germany was the largest component at 0.25%. Exposure to        Spain was approximately 0.11%, and there was no exposure to Italy,        Ireland, Greece or Portugal.    --  The structured investment vehicle's par value exposure to entities        in European countries totalled $471 million at January 31, 2013, of        which $0.1 million was exposure to GIIPS, $204 million to the other        Eurozone countries and $267 million to the rest of Europe. The        largest exposures included the United Kingdom at $213 million and        the Netherlands at $114 million. These amounts included exposure        through collateralized bond obligation (CBO) and collateralized loan        obligation (CLO) investments and residential mortgage-backed        securities, which have credit exposures to borrowers or issuers        operating in Europe.--  BMO has exposure to European supranational institutions totalling $0.5    billion, predominantly in the form of tradeable cash products.--  BMO's indirect exposure to Europe in the form of euro-denominated    collateral to support trading activity was EUR880 million in securities    issued by entities in European countries, of which EUR2 million was held    in securities related to GIIPS and EUR282 million was in German    securities. In addition, EUR281 million of cash collateral was also held    at January 31, 2013.--  Indirect exposure by way of guarantees from entities in European    countries totalled $421 million, of which $3 million was exposure to    GIIPS, $198 million to the other Eurozone countries and $221 million to    the rest of Europe.----------------------------------------------------------------------------European Lending Exposure by Country and Counterparty (Canadian $ in millions) (10)                                                     Table 17----------------------------------------------------------------------------As at January 31, 2013                                      Lending (1)           -----------------------------------------------------------------                                Commitments                           Funded           -------------------------------- --------------------------------Country      Bank Corporate Sovereign Total  Bank Corporate Sovereign  Total------------------------------------------- --------------------------------GIIPSGreece          2         -         -     2     2         -         -      2Ireland (5)     -         -         -     -     -         -         -      -Italy           2         -         -     2     2         -         -      2Portugal        -         -         -     -     -         -         -      -Spain          68         -         -    68    68         -         -     68----------------------------------------------------------------------------Total - GIIPS         72         -         -    72    72         -         -     72----------------------------------------------------------------------------Eurozone (excluding GIIPS)France         20         -         -    20    20         -         -     20Germany        13        42         -    55    13         5         -     18Netherlands    39       199         -   238    39       134         -    173Other (6)     314        52         -   366   209        48         -    257----------------------------------------------------------------------------Total - Eurozone (excluding GIIPS)       386       293         -   679   281       187         -    468----------------------------------------------------------------------------Rest of EuropeDenmark         1         -         -     1     1         -         -      1Norway         15         -         -    15    15         -         -     15Sweden         23        65         -    88    23         2         -     25Switzerland    16       381         -   397    16       372         -    388United Kingdom       89       322         -   411    89        96         -    185Other (6)     313         -         -   313   313         -         -    313----------------------------------------------------------------------------Total - Rest of Europe       457       768         - 1,225   457       470         -    927----------------------------------------------------------------------------Total - All of Europe    915     1,061         - 1,976   810       657         -  1,467----------------------------------------------------------------------------
