The exposition of a story is that part that gives the background for the story to put everything into proper context. In The Cask of Amontillado, the exposition is the part where Montresor seems to be confessing or at least relating the incidents of 50 years ago when he got revenge against Fortunato for the many insults, real or imagined, Fortunato had made against Montresor. Montresor explains his need to gain revenge in a way that won't be discovered but that it will be clear to Fortunato that his past insults are now being avenged. Once Montresor explains that he intends to gain his vengeance on Fortunato, it remains to be seen just how Montresor will not only punish Fortunato, but punish him with impunity.
