Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To Participants and Administrator of the
WSFS Financial Corporation 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the WSFS Financial Corporation 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedules of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2007 and Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the year ended December 31, 2007 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
(1) |
Description of Plan |
The purpose of the WSFS Financial Corporation 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan (the Plan) is to encourage and assist employees (Associates) in following a systematic savings program suited to their individual long-term financial objectives. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan agreement or the summary plan description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
|
(a) |
Eligibility |
All full- and part-time Associates of WSFS Financial Corporation or its subsidiaries (the Employers) who have completed six months of service as of July 1, 2004 or who will complete six months of service on or after July 1, 2004 are eligible to participate following the completion of six months of continuous employment.
|
(b) |
Contributions |
Participants may authorize the Employers to make payroll deductions under the Plan from 0% to 70% of their total compensation, not to exceed $15,500 in 2007. In addition, those participants, who are over age 50 or turning age 50 on or before December 31, 2007, are eligible for an additional catch-up contribution of $5,000 in 2007. The percentage contribution may be increased, decreased, revoked, or resumed at any time during the year. Such changes are effective as of the next pay period. Contributions made by participants are credited to their individual accounts and are made on a pretax basis assuming applicable regulations set forth in the Internal Revenue Code are satisfied.
All contributions made by the Employers on participants’ behalf are also on a pretax basis. The Employer’s contributions comprise the following:
Company Matching Contribution – The Plan includes an employer matching contribution program such that the Employers match 100% of the Associate’s contribution up to 5% of total compensation. The matching contribution is made in cash and is invested in WSFS Financial Corporation common stock. Participants can opt to transfer the WSFS Financial Corporation common stock at any time.
Employer Base Profit Sharing Contribution – The Plan includes a profit sharing program. The contribution for each eligible participant is calculated as a fixed percentage of the participant’s total compensation. The profit sharing contribution is in the form of WSFS Financial Corporation common stock. Participants can opt to transfer the WSFS Financial Corporation common stock at any time. The two types of profit sharing contributions are as follows:
|
• |
Base Contribution – Participants shall be entitled to a base contribution in each calendar quarter in which the Board approves such contributions, based upon the Employers’ performance. It is calculated based on a fixed percentage established at the beginning of the year. |
WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
|
• |
Supplemental Contribution – A Participant shall be entitled to a supplemental contribution at the end of each Plan Year in which the Board approves such contributions, based upon the Employer’s performance. |
For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Employers made no Supplemental Contributions.
|
(c) |
Participants’ Accounts |
Participants’ accounts are credited for their contributions and the Employer’s contribution made on their behalf. Participants’ accounts are also adjusted by an allocation of the earnings or losses of the Plan fund in which each participant’s account is invested based upon the change in unit share price of all funds and for the money market fund upon the ratio of the account balance to the total of all participants’ account balances in that fund.
|
(d) |
Vesting |
All Associate contributions are 100% vested and are not subject to forfeiture for any reason. Employer contributions that are forfeited by participants reduce future Employer contributions. Unallocated forfeitures were $12,752, $90,023 and $58,456 as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Forfeitures used to offset Employer contributions amounted to $122,737, $26,191 and $52,600 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The table below shows the vesting schedule for the Plan:

(e) |
Withdrawals |
Participants’ accounts are segregated between pre-January 1, 1988 and post-January 1, 1988 contributions. Associate contributions made subsequent to January 1, 1988 are made on a pretax basis. Withdrawals are subject to tax and, in certain instances, penalty. Effective January 1, 1993, the Plan is required to withhold federal income taxes at a flat rate of 20% on the taxable portion of withdrawals that are not directly rolled over into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or another qualified retirement plan. This withholding tax does not apply to minimum distributions and annuity payments. Participant interest payments on loans, which are recorded as earnings, are made on a post-tax basis.
WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
Under the Plan, participants may request hardship withdrawals of vested contributions (but not income earned on contributions after December 31, 1988), which must be approved by the Associate Benefits Committee and can only be made for one of the following reasons:
|
1. |
Purchase of primary residence of the participant |
|
2. |
Preservation of primary residence |
|
3. |
Certain medical expenses of a participant or the participant’s dependents |
|
4. |
Tuition for the next semester or quarter of postsecondary education of the participant, spouse, or dependents. |
|
(f) |
Loan Provision |
Under the Plan, participants may obtain loans up to 50% of their vested account balance with a minimum loan of $1,000 and a maximum loan of $50,000. The interest rate on loans is the prime rate plus 1%. Interest paid on the loan is added to the participant’s account balance. Loans are secured by the participant’s interest in the Plan. To be eligible for a loan, Associates must make Associate Savings Contributions of at least 1% of total compensation. They may only request one new loan or refinancing in any 12-month period.
|
(g) |
Administrative Expenses |
Expenses relating to the administration of the Plan are paid by WSFS Financial Corporation. Costs incurred by the Plan relating to voluntary removal of funds in the form of loan proceeds or withdrawals are paid by the participants.
|
(h) |
Payment of Benefits |
Any Participant who separates from service for any reason, including disability, but excluding death benefits, shall be entitled to receive their vested interest in their account balance. This distribution can be in a lump sum payment, rollover to an IRA, or rollover to the qualified plan of a new employer. Upon the death of a Participant prior to payment of all retirement benefits, the Participant’s vested account balance shall be paid to the Participant’s beneficiary in accordance with the Plan Document.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
(a) |
Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
|
(b) |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
(c) |
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition |
The method of valuing the Plan’s investments in Collective Investment Funds is based on the fair value of the assets in the funds as reported in the audited financial statements of the funds. The underlying assets of the funds are valued at fair value as stated in their audited financial statements as follows:
|
• |
Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market are valued at fair market value using the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. |
|
• |
Where no sales price is available, equity securities are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. |
|
• |
Debt securities are valued through valuations obtained by a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the bid and asked prices provided by investment dealers. |
|
• |
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation as reflected on a national securities exchange. |
WSFS Financial Corporation common stock is stated at fair value using the quoted market price as of the valuation date. WSFS Financial Corporation common stock is used as the principal source of valuation of the WSFS Common Stock Fund.
Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances.
Purchases and sales of investments are reflected on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
|
(d) |
Revenue Recognition and Method of Accounting |
The Plan records all transactions on an accrual basis. Investment income is recorded as earned.
|
(e) |
Fund Accounting for Income |
The mutual funds invest interest and dividend income within the fund to purchase more fund assets rather than distribute the income among investors in the fund.
|
(f) |
Payment of Benefits |
Benefits are recorded when paid.

Income Tax Status |
On December 15, 2005, the Plan was amended and restated effective March 28, 2005 and further amended on February 19, 2008. The Plan received a favorable determination letter from the IRS dated May 6, 2005. The Employers believe that the Plan, as amended, is designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and that, therefore, the Plan continues to qualify under Section 401(a) and the related trust continues to be tax-exempt as of December 31, 2007. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is included in the Plan’s financial statements.
(6) |
Plan Termination |
Although WSFS Financial Corporation has not expressed any intention to terminate the Plan, it may do so at any time. Upon the complete discontinuation of contributions to the Plan, or the complete or partial termination of the Plan, the rights of all affected Associates under the Plan shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable.

Related-Party Transactions |
During 2007 and the last six months of 2006, certain plan investments consisted of shares of mutual funds sponsored by First Mercantile Trust and WSFS Financial Corporation common stock. During the first six months of 2006, certain plan investments consisted of shares of mutual funds sponsored by Charles Schwab Trust Company and WSFS Financial Corporation common stock. Investment transactions with First Mercantile Trust, Charles Schwab Trust Company and WSFS Financial Corporation qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees incurred for investment management, custodial, and record-keeping services were paid from the plan assets for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
(8) |
Risks and Uncertainties |
The Plan provides participants various investment options. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
