Basis of Presentation	'
	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of WSFS Financial Corporation (“the Company”, “our Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“WSFS Bank” or the “Bank”) and Montchanin Capital Management, Inc. (“Montchanin”). We also have one unconsolidated affiliate, WSFS Capital Trust III (“the Trust”). WSFS Bank has two fully-owned subsidiaries, WSFS Investment Group, Inc. (“WIG”) and Monarch Entity Services LLC (“Monarch”) and Montchanin has one wholly owned subsidiary, Cypress Capital Management, LLC (“Cypress”).
	Founded in 1832, the Bank is one of the ten oldest banks continuously operating under the same name in the United States. We provide residential and commercial real estate, commercial and consumer lending services, as well as retail deposit and cash management services. In addition, we offer a variety of wealth management and trust services to personal and corporate customers through our Wealth Management division. Lending activities are funded primarily with customer deposits and borrowings. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures our customers’ deposits to their legal maximums. We serve our customers primarily from our 52 offices located in Delaware (42), Pennsylvania (8), Virginia (1) and Nevada (1) and through our website at www.wsfsbank.com. Information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this quarterly report.
	Amounts subject to significant estimates are items such as the allowance for loan losses and reserves for lending related commitments, goodwill, intangible assets, post-retirement benefit obligations, the fair value of financial instruments, investment in reverse mortgages, income taxes and other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”). Among other effects, changes to such estimates could result in future impairments of investment securities, goodwill and intangible assets and establishment of allowances for loan losses and lending related commitments as well as increased post-retirement benefits expense.
	Our accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the banking industry for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X does not require us to include all information and notes for complete financial statements and prevailing practices within the banking industry. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as filed with the SEC.
	Whenever necessary, reclassifications have been made to prior period Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. All significant intercompany transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
	Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation. After stockholder approval in 2005, the 1997 Stock Option Plan (“1997 Plan”) was replaced by the 2005 Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”). Upon stockholder approval in 2013, the 2005 Incentive Plan was amended and replaced by the 2013 Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”). No future awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan; however, we still have options outstanding under the 1997 Plan and 2005 Plan for our officers, directors and employees of us and our subsidiaries (“Associates”). The 2013 Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its effective date, after which no awards may be granted. Collectively, the 1997 Plan, 2005 Plan and 2013 Plan are referred to as Stock Incentive Plans. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan is 698,845. At March 31, 2014, there were 366,412 shares available for future grants under the 2013 Plan.
	With the exception of certain Performance Stock Awards, the Stock Incentive Plans provide for the granting of incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code as well as non-incentive stock options (collectively, “Stock Options”). Additionally, the 2013 Plan provides for the granting of stock appreciation rights, performance awards, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, deferred stock units, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards and cash awards. All Stock Options are to be granted at not less than the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant. With the exception of certain Non-Plan Stock Options, all Stock Options granted during 2014 vest in 25% per annum increments, start to become exercisable one year from the grant date and expire between five and seven years from the grant date. Generally, all awards become exercisable immediately in the event of a change in control, as defined within the Stock Incentive Plans. In addition, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to determine the grant date fair value of Stock Options.

	Stock Options
	The following table provides information about our stock options outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

		March 31, 2014					March 31, 2013
					Weighted-					Weighted-
					Average					Average
		Shares			Exercise Price		Shares			Exercise Price
	Stock Options:

	Unvested at end of period		598,893		$	49.72		237,861		$	43.92
	The total amount of compensation cost to be recognized relating to non-vested stock options as of March 31, 2014 was $6.3 million. The weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is 3.7 years. We issue new shares upon the exercise of options.
	Restricted Stock
	We issued 46,249 restricted stock units during the first quarter of 2014. These awards vest over a four year period. The total amount of compensation cost to be recognized relating to non-vested restricted stock as of March 31, 2014, was $1.7 million. The weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is 2.5 years.
	Performance Stock Awards
	The Long-Term Performance-Based Stock Unit program (“Long-Term Program”) provided for awards up to an aggregate of 77,800 shares of our stock to the remaining 14 participants, only after the achievement of targeted levels of return on assets (“ROA”) in any year through 2013. During 2013, the company achieved the 1.00% performance level of return on assets. In accordance with the Long-Term Program, we issued 36,152 RSUs to the plan’s participants. The awarded stock will vest in 25% increments over four years. During 2014 we recognized $88,000 of compensation expense related to this program. Compensation expense related to the Long-Term Program was based on the closing stock price as of May 28, 2008.
	The Board approved a plan in which Marvin N. Schoenhals, Chairman of the Board, was granted 22,250 shares of restricted stock effective January 3, 2011, with a five-year performance vesting schedule starting at the end of the second year. These awards are based on acquiring new business relationships in which Mr. Schoenhals has played a meaningful role in helping us establish the new business. These shares are subject to vesting in whole or in part based on the role Mr. Schoenhals plays in establishing new business relationships that, over a two year period of time, achieve at least a 50% return on the investment of restricted stock cost. We recognized compensation expense of $69,000 related to this award during the first quarter of 2014 compared to $69,000 during the first quarter of 2013. Based on Mr. Schoenhals performance during 2013; 5,563 shares of restricted stock vested during the first quarter of 2014.

	For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the effect of stock-based compensation, including stock options, restricted stock, and performance stock, on salaries, benefits and other compensation was $802,000 pre-tax ($577,000 after tax) or $0.06 per share. This compares to $946,000 pre-tax ($804,000 after tax) or $0.09 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-01, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)—Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The ASU permits an entity to make an accounting policy election to account for its investment in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportionate amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The decision to apply the proportionate amortization method of accounting should be applied consistently to all qualifying affordable housing project investments. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield or other method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply such method to those preexisting investments. The amendments are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2015. The Company does not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

	First Wyoming Financial Corporation
	On November 25, 2013, WSFS Bank announced an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, with First Wyoming Financial Corporation, the parent company of The First National Bank of Wyoming (“First Wyoming”), in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $64 million. As of September 30, 2013, First Wyoming operated 6 banking offices in Kent County, Delaware with $307.7 million in total assets and $249.7 million in total deposits. The transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2014, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the approval of the shareholders of First Wyoming Financial Corporation.
	Array Financial Group, Inc. and Arrow Land Transfer Company Acquisition
	On July 31, 2013, WSFS Bank completed the purchase of Array Financial Group, Inc. (Array), a Delaware Valley mortgage banking company, specializing in a variety of residential mortgage and refinancing solutions, and Arrow Land Transfer Company (Arrow), an abstract and title company that is a related entity to Array. All Array and Arrow employees are now WSFS Associates.
	These companies were acquired through an asset purchase transaction for the purchase price of $8.0 million (including a $1.4 million payment for the working capital of the two companies), $4.0 million of which can be earned through a five-year earn out based on achieved earnings contribution targets, the fair value of which is $2.6 million at March 31, 2014. Operating results of Array and Arrow are included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
	The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration paid were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which will not be amortizable for book purposes, however will be deductible for tax purposes. We allocated the total balance of goodwill to our WSFS Bank segment. We also recognized $2.4 million in intangible assets which will be amortized over 7 years utilizing the straight-line method.

	The following table details the effect on goodwill from the changes in the derivative assets and liabilities relating to the loan commitment pipeline at acquisition from the amounts originally reported on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013: The adjustments above represent the change.

	Other liabilities		203

	Adjusted goodwill resulting from acquisition of Array & Arrow as of March 31, 2014	$	3,954

	The fair values listed above are estimates and are subject to adjustment. However, while they are not expected to be materially different than those shown, any material adjustments to the estimates will be reflected retroactively, as of the date of the transaction.

	All securities were AAA-rated at the time of purchase and remained at investment grade at March 31, 2014. All securities were re-evaluated for OTTI at March 31, 2014. The result of this evaluation showed no OTTI during the first quarter of 2014. The weighted average duration of MBS was 5.4 years at March 31, 2014.
	MBS have expected maturities that differ from their contractual maturities. These differences arise because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without a prepayment penalty.
	At March 31, 2014, investment securities with market values aggregating $517.4 million were pledged as collateral for retail customer repurchase agreements, municipal deposits, and other obligations. From time to time, investment securities are also pledged as collateral for FHLB borrowings. There were no FHLB pledged investment securities at March 31, 2014.
	During the first three months of 2014, we sold $37.8 million of investment securities during the period categorized as available-for-sale for net gains of $578,000 (no losses were incurred). In the first quarter of 2013, proceeds from the sale of investment securities available-for-sale were $139.2 million and resulted in net gains of $1.6 million.
	As of March 31, 2014, our investment securities portfolio had remaining unamortized premiums of $25.4 million and $207,000 of unaccreted discounts.
	At March 31, 2014, we owned investment securities totaling $740.8 million in which the amortized cost basis exceeded fair value. Total unrealized losses on those securities were $21.5 million at March 31, 2014. The temporary impairment is the result of changes in market interest rates subsequent to the purchase of the securities. Our investment portfolio is reviewed each quarter for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. We evaluate our intent and ability to hold securities based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. In addition, we do not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely-than-not we will be required to sell these securities before we are able to recover the amortized cost basis.
	For these investment securities with unrealized losses, the table below shows our gross unrealized losses and fair value by investment category and length of time that individual securities were in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2014.

	5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY INFORMATION
	Allowance for Loan Losses
	We maintain an allowance for loan losses and charge losses to this allowance when such losses are realized. We established our allowance for loan losses in accordance with guidance provided in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 102 (“SAB 102”). The determination of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment reflecting our best estimate of impairment related to specifically identified impaired loans as well as probable loan losses in the remaining loan portfolio. Our evaluation is based upon a continuing review of these portfolios. The following are included in our allowance for loan losses:

		•		Specific reserves for impaired loans

		•		Allowances for pools of homogenous loans based on historical loss experience

		•		Adjustments for qualitative and environmental factors allocated to pools of homogenous loans

		•		Allowance for model estimation and complexity risk
	Specific reserves are established for impaired loans where we have identified significant conditions or circumstances related to specific credits that indicate losses are probable. Unless loans are well-secured and collection is imminent, all loans that are 90 days past due are deemed impaired. Reserves for impaired loans are generally charged-off within 90 days of impairment recognition. Estimated losses are based on collateral values, estimates of future cash flows or market valuations. During the first quarter of 2014, net charge-offs totaled $2.5 million, or .34% of average loans annualized, compared to $9.9 million, or .34%, of average loans in 2013. We charge loans off when they are deemed to be uncollectable.
	Allowances for pooled homogeneous loans, that are not deemed impaired, are based on historical net loss experience. Estimated losses for pooled portfolios are determined differently for commercial loan pools and retail loan pools. Commercial loans are pooled into following segments: Business Loans (Commercial and Industrial Loans), Commercial Real Estate—Owner-Occupied, Commercial Real Estate—Investor, and Construction Loans. Each pool is further segmented by internally assessed risk ratings. Loan losses for commercial loans are estimated by determining the probability of default and expected loss severity upon default. Probability of default is calculated based on the historical rate of migration to impaired status during the last 16 quarters. Loss severity is calculated as the actual loan losses (net of recoveries) on impaired loans in the respective pool during the same time frame. Retail loans are pooled into the following segments: residential mortgage loans, home equity secured loans, and all other consumer loans. Pooled reserves for retail loans are calculated based solely on the previous three year average net loss rate.
	Qualitative and environmental adjustment factors are taken into consideration when determining the above reserve estimates or core reserves. These adjustment factors are based upon our evaluation of various current internal and external conditions and are allocated among loan types and take into consideration the following:

		•		Assessment of current underwriting policies, staff, and portfolio mix

		•		Internal trends of delinquency, nonaccrual and criticized loans by segment

		•		Assessment of risk rating accuracy, control and regulatory assessments/environment

		•		General economic conditions—locally and nationally

		•		Market trends impacting collateral values

		•		Competitive environment as it could impact loan structure and underwriting
	The above factors are based on their relative standing compared to the period which historic losses are used in core reserve estimates and current directional trends. Each individual qualitative and environmental factor in our model can add or subtract to core reserves.
	The final component of the allowance is a reserve for model estimation and complexity risk. The calculation of reserves is generally quantitative; however, qualitative estimates of valuations and risk assessment are necessary. We review the qualitative estimates of valuation factors quarterly and adjust based on current trends.
	Our loan officers and risk managers meet at least quarterly to discuss and review the conditions and risks associated with individual problem loans. In addition, various regulatory agencies and loan review consultants periodically review our loan ratings and allowance for loan losses.

Credit Quality Indicators
Below is a description of each of our risk ratings for all commercial loans:
Pass. These borrowers presently show no current or potential problems and their loans are considered fully collectible.
Special Mention. Borrowers have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. Borrowers in this category may be experiencing adverse operating trends, for example, declining revenues or margins, high leverage, tight liquidity, or increasing inventory without increasing sales. These adverse trends can have a potential negative effect on the borrower’s repayment capacity. These assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to significant risk that would warrant a more severe rating. Borrowers in this category may also be experiencing significant management problems, pending litigation, or other structural credit weaknesses.
Substandard. Borrowers have well-defined weaknesses that require extensive oversight by management. Borrowers in this category may exhibit one or more of the following: inadequate debt service coverage, unprofitable operations, insufficient liquidity, high leverage, and weak or inadequate capitalization. Relationships in this category are not adequately protected by the sound financial worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged on the loan, if any. The distinct possibility exists that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Borrowers have well-defined weaknesses inherent in the Substandard category with the added characteristic that the possibility of loss is extremely high. Current circumstances in the credit relationship make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable. A doubtful asset has some pending event that may strengthen the asset that defers the loss classification. Such impending events include: perfecting liens on additional collateral, obtaining collateral valuations, an acquisition or liquidation preceding, proposed merger, or refinancing plan.
Loss. Borrowers are uncollectible or of such negligible value that continuance as a bankable asset is not supportable. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical to defer writing off this asset even though partial recovery may be recognized sometime in the future.
Residential and Consumer Loans
The residential and consumer loan portfolios are monitored on an ongoing basis using delinquency information and loan type as credit quality indicators. These credit quality indicators are assessed in the aggregate in these relatively homogeneous portfolios. Loans that are greater than 90 days past due are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status.

-1	Includes $9.0 million as of March 31, 2014 and $11.5 million as of December 31, 2013 of troubled debt restructured mortgages and home equity installment loans that are performing in accordance with modified terms and are accruing interest.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDR)
The balance of TDRs at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $26.7 million and $27.6 million, respectively. The balance at March 31, 2014 included approximately $15.1 million in nonaccrual status and $11.6 million in accrual status compared to $15.3 million in nonaccrual status and $12.3 million in accrual status at December 31, 2013. Approximately $2.2 million and $4.1 million in related reserves have been established for these loans at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
A modification is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both of the following exist: (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) the Bank has granted a concession to the borrower. Many aspects of the borrower’s financial situation are assessed when determining whether they are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions may include the reduction of an interest rate at a rate lower than current market rate for a new loan with similar risk, extension of the maturity date, reduction of accrued interest, or principal forgiveness. The assessments of whether a borrower is experiencing (or is likely to experience) financial difficulty and whether a concession has been granted is subjective in nature and management’s judgment is required when determining whether a modification is a TDR.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the terms of 6 loans were modified in TDRs, These loans represented residential and consumer loans. Our concessions on restructured loans consisted mainly of forbearance agreements, reduction in interest rates or extensions of maturities. Principal balances are generally not forgiven by us when a loan is modified as a TDR. Nonaccruing restructured loans remain in nonaccrual status until there has been a period of sustained repayment performance, typically six months.
The following table presents loans identified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

The TDRs described in the table above increased our allowance for loan losses by $1,000 through allocation of a related reserve, and resulted in charge-offs of $40,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to no increase and charge-offs of $119,000 million for the same period of 2013.

Reverse Mortgage and Related Assets	'
	6. REVERSE MORTGAGE AND RELATED ASSETS
	Reverse mortgage related assets include reverse mortgage loans as of March 31, 2014. In addition, prior to the clean up call, the SASCO 2002-RM’s Class “O” certificates and the BBB-rated tranche of this reverse mortgage security were also included.
	Reverse mortgage loans are contracts in which a homeowner borrows against the equity in their home and receives cash in one lump sum payment, a line of credit, fixed monthly payments for either a specific term or for as long as the homeowner lives in the home, or a combination of these options. Since reverse mortgages are nonrecourse obligations, the loan repayments are generally limited to the sale proceeds of the borrower’s residence and the mortgage balance consists of cash advanced, interest compounded over the life of the loan and some may include a premium which represents a portion of the shared appreciation in the home’s value, if any, or a percentage of the value of the residence.
	In July 2011, we purchased 100% of SASCO 2002-RM1’s Class “O” certificates, representing equity ownership of this reverse mortgage securitization trust, for $2.5 million. This securitization was created in 2002 through the purchase of reverse mortgage loans owned by us, as well as an additional lender. As part of this securitization we retained the BBB rated tranche of this securitization and held this instrument as a trading asset since that time. However, there has never been an active market develop for this asset.
	During the third quarter of 2013, we obtained the right to execute a clean-up call on the underlying collateral. This event triggered us to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the securitization trust, SASCO 2002 RM-1, on our Consolidated Statement of Condition in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. As a result of consolidation of the reverse mortgage trust during the third quarter of 2013, a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) was recorded at that time. However, because the reverse mortgage trust was not able to be consolidated for income tax purposes, a full valuation allowance was also recorded at that time on the DTA due to the uncertainty of realizing this benefit. On January 27, 2014, WSFS completed the legal call of the reverse mortgage trust bonds and the redemption of the trust’s preferred shareholders, eliminating this uncertainty since the reverse mortgage trust’s assets have now been combined with the Bank’s for tax purposes. As a result, WSFS has removed the valuation allowance, and recorded a tax benefit of approximately $6.7 million during the first quarter 2014.
	Our existing investment in reverse mortgages has been combined with the consolidated reverse mortgage loans for a total of $36.3 million at March 31, 2014. The average age of the borrowers is 92 years old and there is currently significant overcollateralization in the portfolio, as the realizable collateral value (the lower of collectable principal and interest, or appraised value and annual broker price opinion of the home) of $60.5 million well exceeds the outstanding book balance at March 31, 2014.
	The carrying value of the reverse mortgages is calculated by a model that uses the income approach as described in ASC 820-10-35-32. The model is a present value cash flow model, consistent with ASC 820-10-55-5 which describes the components of a present value measurement. The model incorporates the projected cash flows of the loans (includes payouts and collections) and then discounts these cash flows using the effective yield required on the life of the portfolio to reduce the net investment to zero at the time the final reverse mortgage contract is liquidated. The inputs to the model reflect our expectations of what other market participants would use in pricing this asset in a current transaction and therefore is consistent with ASC 820 that requires an exit price methodology for determining fair value.
	To determine the carrying value of these reverse mortgages as of March 31, 2014, we used a proprietary model and actual cash flow information to estimate future cash flows. There are three main drivers of cash flows; 1) move-out rates. 2) house price appreciation (“HPA”) forecasts and 3) internal rate of return.

		1)	Move-out rates – The projections incorporate actuarial estimates of contract termination using mortality tables published by the Office of the Actuary of the United States Bureau of Census, adjusted for expected prepayments and relocations.

		2)	House Price Appreciation – Consistent with other reverse mortgage analyses from various market sources, we forecast a 2.5% increase in housing prices during 2014 and a 1.75% increase in the following year and thereafter. We believe this forecast continues to be appropriate given the nature of reverse mortgage collateral and historical under-performance to the broad housing market.

		3)	Internal Rate of Return – As of March 31, 2014, the internal rate of return (IRR) of 15.55% was the effective yield required on the life of the portfolio to reduce the net investment to zero at the time the final reverse mortgage contract is liquidated.
	As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s actuarially estimated cash payments to reverse mortgagors are as follows:

	Total (1)		$	3,901


	-1	This table does not take into consideration cash inflow including payments from mortgagors or payoffs based on contractual terms
	The amount of the contract value that would be forfeited if the Company were not to make cash payments to reverse mortgagors in the future is $7.9 million.
	The future cash flows depend on the House Price Appreciation (“HPA”) assumptions. If the future changes in collateral value were assumed to be zero, income would decrease by $190,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 with an IRR of 14.45%. If the future changes in collateral value were assumed to be reduced by 1%, income would decrease by $136,000 with an IRR of 14.77%.

	The net present value of the projected cash flow depends on the IRR used. If the IRR increased by 1%, the net present value would increase by $198,000. If the IRR decreased by 1%, the net present value would decrease by $197,000.

	In accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, and FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and other intangibles are recorded at fair value.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we determined there were no events or other indicators of impairment as it relates to goodwill or other intangibles.
	The following table shows the allocation of goodwill to our reportable operating segments for purposes of goodwill impairment testing:

	We share certain costs of providing health and life insurance benefits to retired Associates and their eligible dependents. Previously, all Associates were eligible for these benefits, if they reached normal retirement age while working for us. Effective March 31, 2014, we changed the eligibility of this plan to include only those associates who have achieved ten years of service with us as of March 31, 2014. The change will impact our net periodic benefit cost; however, this impact was partially offset by a change in the assumptions used to determine these costs (discount rate of 4.50% adjusted compared to 4.00% at December 31, 2013.
	We account for our obligations under the provisions of FASB ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (“ASC 715”). ASC 715 requires the costs of these benefits be recognized over an Associate’s active working career. Disclosures are in accordance with ASC 715.

	We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) (Formerly SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty In Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109). ASC 740 requires the recording of deferred income taxes that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We exercise significant judgment in the evaluation of the amount and timing of the recognition of the resulting tax assets and liabilities. The judgments and estimates required for the evaluation are updated based upon changes in business factors and the tax laws. If actual results differ from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating the amount and timing of tax recognized, there can be no assurance that additional expenses will not be required in future periods.
	As a result of the consolidation for accounting purposes of the SASCO reverse mortgage securitization trust during 2013, a deferred tax asset (“DTA”) of approximately $4.9 million was recorded. In addition we recorded a $1.8 million deferred tax liability associated with our original investment in SASCO. However, because SASCO was not consolidated for income tax purposes, a full valuation allowance was also recorded on this DTA due to the uncertainty of its realization, as realization is dependent on future taxable income. On January 27, 2014 the separate company SASCO tax structure was eliminated, which will permit tax consolidation within the Bank’s tax return filings on a prospective basis. At this date, the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the DTA was eliminated. Accordingly, we removed the $4.9 million valuation allowance along as well as eliminated the $1.8 million deferred tax liability, which resulted in an overall income tax benefit of $6.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

	ASC 740 prescribes a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. We recognize, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the financial statements. Assessment of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740 requires careful consideration of the technical merits of a position based on our analysis of tax regulations and interpretations.
	There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2014. We record interest and penalties on potential income tax deficiencies as income tax expense. Our federal and state tax returns for the 2010 through 2013 tax years are subject to examination as of March 31, 2014. No state income tax return examinations are currently in process. We do not expect to record or realize any material unrecognized tax benefits during 2014.

	10. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
	ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
	Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.
	Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
	Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
	A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

	The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2014 (there are no material liabilities measured at fair value):

	Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models or obtained from third parties that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include unobservable parameters. Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While we believe our valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
	Available-for-sale securities. As of March 31, 2014, securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs. As a result of the consolidation of the reverse mortgage trust, there were no securities with Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2014. Included in the Level 2 total are approximately $32.1 million in Federal Agency debentures, $716.6 million in Federal Agency MBS and $110.6 million in municipal bonds. Agency and MBS securities are predominately AAA-rated. We believe that this Level 2 designation is appropriate for these securities under ASC 820-10 as, with almost all fixed income securities, none are exchange traded, and all are priced by correlation to observed market data. For these securities we obtain fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, U.S. government and agency yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the security’s terms and conditions, among other factors.
Other real estate owned. Other real estate owned consists of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure or other measures. Initially, foreclosed assets are recorded as held for sale at the lower of the loan balance or fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically and the assets may be marked down further, reflecting a new cost basis. The fair value of our real estate owned was estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals obtained from third parties.
Impaired loans. We evaluate and value impaired loans at the time the loan is identified as impaired, and the fair values of such loans are estimated using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Each loan’s collateral has a unique appraisal and management’s discount of the value is based on the factors unique to each impaired loan. The significant unobservable input in determining the fair value is management’s subjective discount on appraisals of the collateral securing the loan, which range from 10% - 50%. Collateral may consist of real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable and the value of these assets is determined based on the appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by us. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, estimated costs to sell, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business.
Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a net amount of $46.6 million and $38.4 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The valuation allowance on impaired loans was $5.1 million as of March 31, 2014 and $4.9 million as of December 31, 2013.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The reported fair values of financial instruments are based on a variety of factors. In certain cases, fair values represent quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments. In other cases, fair values have been estimated based on assumptions regarding the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows that are discounted to reflect current market rates and varying degrees of risk. Accordingly, the fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of period-end or that will be realized in the future.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Short-Term Investments: For cash and short-term investments, including due from banks, federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell and interest-bearing deposits with other banks, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investments and Mortgage-Backed Securities: Since quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted prices for similar securities, which we obtain from a third party vendor. We utilize one of the largest providers of securities pricing to the industry and management periodically assesses the inputs used by this vendor to price the various types of securities owned by us to validate the vendor’s methodology. The fair value of our investment in reverse mortgages is based on the net present value of estimated cash flows, which have been updated to reflect recent external appraisals of the underlying collateral. For additional discussion of our mortgage-backed securities-trading or our internally developed models, see “Fair Value of Financial Assets” in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans held-for-sale: Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or market of the aggregate, or in some cases, individual loans.
Loans: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type: commercial, commercial mortgages, construction, residential mortgages and consumer. For loans that reprice frequently, the book value approximates fair value. The fair values of other types of loans are estimated by discounting expected cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with comparable credit ratings and for similar remaining maturities. The fair value of nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals of the underlying collateral. Estimated cash flows, discounted using a rate commensurate with current rates and the risk associated with the estimated cash flows, are utilized if appraisals are not available. This technique does not contemplate an exit price.
Reverse Mortgage Related Assets. For additional information on these reverse mortgage related assets, see Note 6, Reverse Mortgage Related Assets, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Demand Deposits, Savings Deposits and Time Deposits: The fair value deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, money market and interest-bearing demand deposits, is assumed to be equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using rates currently offered for deposits with comparable remaining maturities.
Borrowed Funds: Rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.
Stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh: The fair value of FHLB stock is assumed to be essentially equal to its cost basis, since the stock is non-marketable but redeemable at its par value.
Off-Balance Sheet Instruments: The fair value of off-balance sheet instruments, including commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, approximates the recorded net deferred fee amounts, which are not significant. Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally not assignable by either us or the borrower, they only have value to us and the borrower.

Segment Information	'
	11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
	In accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) (Formerly SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information) we discuss our business in three segments. There is one segment for each of WSFS Bank, Cash Connect, and Trust and Wealth Management.
	The WSFS Bank segment provides financial products to commercial and retail customers through its 52 offices located in Delaware (42), Pennsylvania (8) and Virginia (1) and Nevada (1). Retail and Commercial Banking, Commercial Real Estate Lending and other banking business units are operating departments of WSFS. These departments share the same regulator, the same market, many of the same customers and provide similar products and services through the general infrastructure of the Bank. Because of these and other reasons, these departments are not considered discrete segments and are appropriately aggregated within the WSFS Bank segment in accordance with ASC 280.
	Cash Connect provides turnkey ATM services through strategic partnerships with several of the largest networks, manufacturers and service providers in the ATM industry. The balance sheet category “Cash in non-owned ATMs” includes cash from which fee income is earned through bailment arrangements with customers of Cash Connect.
	The Wealth Management division provides a broad array of fiduciary, investment management, credit and deposit products to clients through four businesses. WSFS Investment Group, Inc. provides insurance and brokerage products primarily to our retail banking clients. Cypress Capital Management, LLC is a registered investment advisor with over $631 million in assets under management. Cypress’ primary market segment is high net worth individuals, offering a ‘balanced’ investment style focused on preservation of capital and current income. Christiana Trust, with $8.9 billion in assets under administration, provides fiduciary and investment services to personal trust clients, and trustee, agency, custodial and commercial domicile services to corporate and institutional clients. WSFS Private Banking serves high net worth clients by delivering credit and deposit products and partnering with Cypress, Christiana and WSFS Investment Group to deliver investment management and fiduciary products and services.
	An operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision makers to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. We evaluate performance based on pretax ordinary income relative to resources used, and allocate resources based on these results. The accounting policies applicable to our segments are those that apply to our preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Indemnifications and Guarantees	'
	12. INDEMNIFICATIONS AND GUARANTEES
	Secondary Market Loan Sales. Given the current interest rate environment and current customer preference for long-term fixed rate mortgages, coupled with our desire not to hold these assets in our portfolio, we generally sell newly originated fixed rate conventional, 15 to 30 year loans in the secondary market to GSEs such as FHLMC or to wholesale lenders. Gains and losses on sales of loans are recognized at the time of the sale. We sometimes retain the servicing rights on residential mortgage loans sold which results in monthly service fee income. Otherwise, we sell loans with servicing released on a nonrecourse basis. Rate-locked loan commitments we intend to sell in the secondary market and related sales commitments are accounted for as derivatives under the guidance promulgated in FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
	We generally do not sell loans with recourse, except for standard loan sale contract provisions covering violations of representations and warranties and, under certain circumstances, first payment default by the borrower. These are customary repurchase provisions in the secondary market for conforming mortgage loan sales. These indemnifications may include our repurchase of the loans. Repurchases and losses have been rare and no provision is made for losses at the time of sale. There were no such repurchases for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	Swap Guarantees. We entered into agreements with three unrelated financial institutions whereby those financial institutions entered into interest rate derivative contracts (interest rate swap transactions) with customers referred to them by us. By the terms of the agreements, those financial institutions have recourse to us for any exposure created under each swap transaction in the event the customer defaults on the swap agreement and the agreement is in a paying position to the third-party financial institution. This is a customary arrangement that allows smaller financial institutions like us to provide access to interest rate swap transactions for our customers without creating the swap ourselves. These swap guarantees are accounted for as credit derivatives under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
	At March 31, 2014 there were 103 variable-rate swap transactions between third party financial institutions and our customers, compared to 101 at December 31, 2013. The initial notional aggregated amount was approximately $450.1 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $423.9 million at December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014 maturities ranged from approximately one to eleven years. The aggregate market value of these swaps to customers was a liability of $18.8 million at March 31, 2014 and $17.8 million at December 31, 2013. We had reserves of $70,000 for the swap guarantees.

	14. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
	As initially disclosed in 2011, we were served with a complaint, filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, by a bankruptcy trustee relating to a former WSFS Bank customer. The complaint challenges the Bank’s actions relating to the repayment of an outstanding loan and also seeks to avoid and recover the pre-bankruptcy repayment of that loan, approximately $5.0 million. The matter has been captioned Goldstein v. Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (In re: Universal Marketing, Inc.), Chapter 7, Case No. 09-15404 (ELF), Adv. Pro. No. 11-00512. We believe we acted appropriately and we are vigorously defending ourselves against the complaint.
	Based upon available information we believe the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for this legal proceeding was from approximately $500,000 to approximately $5.0 million at March 31, 2014.
	There were no material changes or additions to other significant pending legal or other proceedings involving us other than those arising out of routine operations. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of such other proceedings will have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-01, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)—Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The ASU permits an entity to make an accounting policy election to account for its investment in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportionate amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The decision to apply the proportionate amortization method of accounting should be applied consistently to all qualifying affordable housing project investments. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield or other method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply such method to those preexisting investments. The amendments are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2015. The Company does not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
