Notable events:

to the Company's franchise. This transaction is expected to close
on October 24, 2008.

-- 1st Reverse Financial Services, LLC (1st Reverse), an early stage
business, which is focused on originating and selling reverse
mortgages nationally, reduced the company's earnings per share by
$0.08 in the third quarter 2008.
CEO outlook and commentary:

Mark A. Turner, WSFS' President and CEO, said, "Key measures for our Company
reflect the success we are having in growing our core banking business. Our
quarterly results show positive operating leverage compared to last year's
normalized third quarter, meaning that our revenues grew faster than our
operating expenses. Our positive operating leverage is a reflection of the
success that we have had in growing our core banking franchise and builds on the
positive results we are experiencing in many of our Company's performance
metrics, such as continued margin expansion.

"However, the weak economic environment continues to negatively affect our
credit statistics. Nonperforming assets are up to 1.12% and net charge-offs are
also up, reflecting progress we are making in resolving problem credits. The
impact of a weak economic environment resulted in a provision for loan losses
well above the levels we reported last quarter and for the third quarter of last
year.

"As I have discussed in previous quarters, our loan portfolio is well
diversified as we manage within internal concentration limits developed a number
of years ago. These limits govern the size of our loan portfolios, including
construction and land development (CLD) loans. In fact, during the quarter our
residential CLD loan portfolio decreased to just 6% of total loans.

"As a result of our prudent risk management, we have no exposure to trust
preferred securities, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac preferred stock, or asset backed
securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages. Our securities portfolio
continues to perform well and is comprised predominantly of 'plain vanilla'
AAA-rated short duration securities.

"The strength of our balance sheet and earnings allows us to take advantage of
opportunities to continue to grow our franchise, such as the acquisition of Sun
National Bank's Delaware branches, which is expected to close later this month.
This acquisition presents an opportunity for us to build our branch network and
customer base, increase our earnings and improve our funding costs and liquidity
-- benefits that are particularly attractive in the current operating
environment."

Third Quarter 2008 Discussion of Financial Results

Net interest income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2008 was $23.3 million and the net
interest margin was 3.28%, displaying strong growth of $940,000 and 8 basis
points (0.08%) from the second quarter of 2008. These increases reflect the
continued positive impact of deposit pricing management efforts, combined with a
recovery from the temporary negative impact of Federal Reserve rate reductions
made early in the year. Similarly, additional recent Federal Reserve rate
reductions and deposit pricing competition will put pressure on the net interest
margin in the near term.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2008 improved by $3.2 million, or
16% in comparison to the third quarter of 2007. Accordingly, the net interest
margin increased a strong 24 basis points (0.24%) from 3.04% reported in the
third quarter of 2007.

Total commercial loans increased 11% or $167.2 million from September 2007

Commercial and commercial real estate (CRE) loans increased a strong $167.2
million, or 11% over September 30, 2007. Nearly three quarters of this growth
($120.8 million) was due to commercial and industrial (C&I) loans. Construction
and land development (CLD) loans decreased $27.0 million, or 11% from September
30, 2007. Making up the difference, commercial mortgages increased $73.4
million, or 16%. Total net loans were $2.3 billion at September 30, 2008, an
increase of $172.2 million, or 8%, over September 30, 2007.

Commercial and CRE loans increased $33.1 million, or 2% (8% annualized) over
June 30, 2008 levels. This included a $46.4 million, or 6% (22% annualized)
increase in C&I loans. CLD loans decreased $9.0 million, or 4% (15% annualized)
during the quarter. Commercial mortgages were relatively flat compared to the
previous quarter. Total net loans increased $39.2 million, or 2% (7% annualized)
over June 30, 2008.

The following table summarizes the current loan balances and composition
compared to prior periods.

Asset quality

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.5 million in the third
quarter of 2008, compared to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2007 and $2.4
million in the second quarter of 2008. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to
total loans was 1.20% at September 30, 2008, compared to 1.22% at June 30, 2008.
This ratio stood at 1.32% at September 30, 2007. The increased level of
provisioning this quarter is attributable to continued loan growth in our
commercial portfolio, combined with the current economic conditions,
particularly in the housing sector and those businesses related to residential
real estate.

Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 1.12% at September 30,
2008 compared to 0.95% at June 30, 2008 and 0.53% at September 30, 2007. This
was driven by an increase in nonperforming real estate construction related
loans.

Annualized net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2008 were 0.57% of average
loans compared to 0.19% for the second quarter of 2008 and 0.11% for the third
quarter of 2007. On a year-to-date basis net charge-offs for 2008 were 0.30%
compared to 0.08% for 2007. The increase in net charge-offs reflects our
progress in resolving problem credits, utilizing reserves provided in previous
periods. The provision for loan losses of $3.5 million recorded during the third
quarter of 2008 slightly exceeded net charge-offs of $3.3 million recorded
during the quarter.

Customer deposits

Total customer deposits (core deposits and customer time deposits) were $1.5
billion at September 30, 2008, an increase of $85.0 million, or 6%, over
balances at September 30, 2007. The growth in deposits was mainly the result of
an increase in demand accounts and customer time deposits.

Customer deposits increased $45.1 million, or 3% (12% annualized) over levels
reported for June 30, 2008. Consistent with the year-over-year increase, the
linked quarter increase in deposits was mainly due to increased demand accounts
and customer time deposits.

The following table summarizes current customer deposit balances and composition
compared to prior periods.

Noninterest income

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded noninterest income of
$11.7 million, compared to $12.8 million in the third quarter of 2007.
Contributing to this decrease was a $789,000 reduction in credit/debit card and
ATM income, the result of reduced prime-rate based ATM bailment fees from Cash
Connect, WSFS' ATM division. While noninterest income comparisons were
negatively impacted by lower bailment fees, the net interest margin continued to
benefit from our lower funding costs for these borrowings. Offsetting this
decrease were increases in deposit service charges of $417,000 and loan fee
income of $204,000, primarily due to our investment in franchise growth. In
addition, noninterest income was enhanced by $176,000 in fees from 1st Reverse.
The third quarter of 2007 included an $882,000 one-time gain on the sale of the
WSFS' credit card portfolio. Excluding the revenues from Cash Connect and the
previously mentioned third quarter 2007 one-time gain on the sale of the WSFS'
credit card portfolio, noninterest income increased $546,000, or 8%, from the
third quarter of 2007.

Noninterest income increased slightly in comparison to the second quarter of
2008. Deposit service charges and credit/debit card and ATM income were
seasonally higher than the previous quarter while loan fee income was lower due
to reduced reverse mortgage fees.

Noninterest expense

Noninterest expenses for the third quarter of 2008 totaled $22.8 million, which
was $1.4 million, or 7% greater than the third quarter of 2007. Excluding
$898,000 of expenses related to 1st Reverse as we continue to develop its sales
and operational platforms, expenses increased $546,000, or 3% over the third
quarter of 2007. This increase included $562,000 in other operating expenses and
$329,000 in professional fees. The increase in other operating expenses included
a $174,000 increase in the FDIC charges due to increased assessment rates, as
well as an increase in correspondent bank fees. The increase in professional
fees related to increased legal expenses, reflecting increased costs relating to
problem credits, typical at this point in the economic cycle. Partially
offsetting these increases was a $351,000 decrease in marketing expenses due to
higher expenses during last year's launch of our brand campaign.

Noninterest expenses increased $1.6 million, or 8% from the second quarter of
2008. Excluding $430,000 of increased expenses related to 1st Reverse, expenses
were $1.2 million, or 6% over the second quarter of 2008. This included salaries
and benefits of $635,000, other operating expenses of $389,000 and professional
fees of $272,000, consistent with the previously mentioned year-over-year
analysis.

On October 14, Visa notified members that it had reached a settlement in
principle to a lawsuit brought against it by Discover; however, Visa has not
disclosed the amount of this settlement. In the fourth quarter of 2007, we set
aside a reserve for our portion of expenses related to this settlement based on
currently available information.

Income taxes

The Company recorded a $3.1 million income tax provision (reflecting a 35.0%
effective tax rate) in the third quarter of 2008 versus $3.4 million in the
third quarter of 2007 (32.4% effective tax rate) and $3.7 million in the second
quarter of 2008 (35.8% effective tax rate). Volatility on effective tax rates
from quarter to quarter is expected and will continue into the future.

Capital management

The Company strengthened its capital by growing equity $20.3 million over
September 30, 2007 levels. All capital levels are in excess of
"well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks, the regulators' highest capital
rating. The Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio was 10.97%, significantly above the
6.00% level required to be considered "well-capitalized" under regulatory
definitions. The ratio of tangible equity to assets increased to 6.74% at
September 30, 2008 from 6.66% at June 30, 2008, as equity increased $6.6
million. Tangible book value per share also increased to $35.43 at September 30,
2008, from $34.66 at June 30, 2008 and $32.18 at September 30, 2007. During the
quarter the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock. At September
30, 2008, the Company had 531,000 shares remaining under its current share
repurchase authorization, or 8.6% of its 6.2 million outstanding shares.

WSFS' Board of Directors declares a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share

The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per
share. This dividend represents a 20% increase from that of the third quarter of
2007. This dividend will be paid on November 28, 2008, to shareholders of record
as of November 7, 2008.
