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, 2005 and 2004, 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) and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplemental information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The 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. /s/KPMG LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania June 27, 2006 WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits December 31, 2005 and 2004 2005 2004 ----------- ----------- Assets: Investments (note 3) $39,520,374 37,047,873 Loans to participants 897,787 759,350 ----------- ----------- Total Investments 40,418,161 37,807,223 Receivables: Employer contribution 108,385 78,967 ----------- ----------- Total receivables 108,385 78,967 ----------- ----------- Net assets available for benefits $40,526,546 37,886,190 =========== =========== See accompanying notes to financial statements 2 WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 2005 2004 ----------- ----------- Additions: Investment income: Interest and dividends $ 503,005 338,456 Net appreciation in fair value of investments 1,093,066 6,232,595 ----------- ----------- 1,596,071 6,571,051 ----------- ----------- Contributions: Employer 1,326,137 1,523,298 Participants 1,468,314 1,186,391 ----------- ----------- 2,794,451 2,709,689 ----------- ----------- Total additions 4,390,522 9,280,740 Deductions: Benefits paid 1,750,166 1,521,593 ----------- ----------- Net increase 2,640,356 7,759,147 Net assets available for benefits: Beginning of year 37,886,190 30,127,043 ----------- ----------- End of year $40,526,546 37,886,190 =========== =========== See accompanying notes to financial statements 3 WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2005 and 2004 (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 were employed on or before June 30, 1993 were eligible to participate on the first of the month following 90 days of service. Associates hired after June 30, 1993 are eligible to participate following the completion of one year of continuous employment, 1,000 hours of service, and attainment of age 21. This eligibility was amended effective July 1, 2004, such that Associates 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 $14,000 in 2005. In addition, those participants, who are over age 50 or turning age 50 on or before December 31, 2005, are eligible for an additional catch-up contribution of $4,000 in 2005. 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 Employers' 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: o 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. 4 WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2005 and 2004 o 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 Employers' performance. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Employers made Supplemental Contributions of $0. (c) Participants' Accounts Participants' accounts are credited for their contributions and the Employers' 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. Forfeitures were $58,456 and $32,482 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Forfeitures used to offset Employer contributions amounted to $52,600 and $37,980 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Employer contributions were vested immediately for Associates who enrolled in the Plan prior to June 30, 1993. The Plan's vesting schedule was amended as of July 1, 1997. The amended vesting schedule applies to all participants who enrolled in the Plan after June 30, 1993. The table below shows the amended vesting schedule for Associates who enrolled in the Plan after June 30, 1993: Years of service Vested percentages as amended ---------------- ----------------------------- 0-1 20% 2 40 3 60 4 80 5 100 (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. 5 WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2005 and 2004 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 10%. 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. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. (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. 6 WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2005 and 2004 (c) Investment Valuation and Income Recognition Investments in short-term securities are valued at cost that approximates market. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of the fund, which is based on the quoted year-end market value of securities held by the fund. WSFS Financial Corporation common stock is valued at the year-end market price. 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. (3) Investments The following represents the fair value of investments that are 5% or more of the Plan's net assets: December 31 ----------------------------- 2005 2004 ----------- --------- Schwab Retirement Advantage Money Fund** $ 2,873,956 2,189,074 Strong Government Securities Fund 2,569,518 2,196,805 WSFS Financial Corporation common stock** 19,346,548 * 19,356,246 * Weitz Value Fund *** 2,151,724 Vanguard Index 500 Fund 2,495,600 2,431,323 Artisan International Fund 2,600,133 874,071 Royce Total Return Fund 2,161,279 1,187,621 *Nonparticipant directed. **Party-in-interest. ***Investment not 5% or more of Plan's net assets for this year. 7 WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2005 and 2004 During 2005 and 2004, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated in value as follows: 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Mutual funds $ 642,216 1,061,373 Common stock 450,850 5,171,222 ---------- ---------- Total appreciation $1,093,066 6,232,595 ========== ========== (4) Nonparticipant-Directed Investments Information about the net assets and the significant components of the changes in net assets relating to the nonparticipant-directed investments is as follows: December 31 ---------------------------- 2005 2004 ------------ ------------ Net assets: WSFS Financial Corporation common stock and employer contribution receivable $ 14,949,655 $ 14,721,848 Years ended December 31 ---------------------------- 2005 2004 ------------ ------------ Changes in net assets: Contributions $ 1,436,122 1,653,841 Investment earnings 424,298 3,937,407 Benefits paid to participants (555,361) (308,040) Transfers to participant-directed investments (1,077,252) (2,543,650) ------------ ------------ $ 227,807 2,739,558 ============ ============ (5) Income Tax Status On December 15, 2005, the Plan was amended and restated effective March 28, 2005. The Plan received a favorable determination letter from the IRS dated May 6, 2005. The Employers believe that the Plan currently 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, 2005. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is included in the Plan's financial statements. 8 WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2005 and 2004 (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. (7) Related-Party Transactions Certain Plan investments consist of shares of mutual funds sponsored by Charles Schwab Trust Company (the Custodian) and WSFS Financial Corporation common stock. Investment transactions with the Custodian and the WSFS Financial Corporation qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees incurred for investment management, custodial, and record-keeping services were paid by the Employers for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. (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. 9 Schedule 1 WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN Schedule H, line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) December 31, 2005 Shares Fair value ----------- ----------- * Schwab Retirement Advantage Money Fund 2,863,072 $ 2,873,956 Strong Government Securities Fund 245,652 2,569,518 Dreyfus Appreciation Fund 41,352 1,643,807 * WSFS Financial Corporation common stock 315,862 19,346,548 Vanguard Index 500 Fund 21,715 2,495,600 Jensen Portfolio 8,389 199,836 Artisan Midcap Fund 30,654 947,810 Weitz Value Fund 55,253 1,957,053 Pax World Fund 26,722 631,972 Artisan International Fund 102,731 2,600,133 Clipper Fund 5,087 448,429 Royce Total Return Fund 171,530 2,161,279 Value Line Emerging Opportunities Fund 58,625 1,644,433 * Loans to participants (interest rate of 10%) 897,787 ----------- Total investments $40,418,161 =========== * Party-in-interest.
