                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To the 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 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan of WSFS Financial Corporation (the
Plan) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statements of changes in
net assets available for benefits for each of the years in the three year period
ended December 31, 1998. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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, financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the Plan's net assets available for benefits as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and changes in net assets available for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with 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 information included in
the schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions
is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements, but is 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 (ERISA). The fund
information in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The
supplemental information and fund information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit 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.

                       401(k) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
                          Notes to Financial Statements


Note 1 - Description of Plan:

The purpose of the Plan is to encourage and assist employees in following a
systematic savings program suited to their individual long-term financial
objectives. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employees Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The following description of the WSFS
Financial Corporation 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan (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.

     Plan Amendment:

Effective July 1, 1997, the Plan was amended to change the Trustee from
Wilmington Trust Company to the Charles Schwab Trust Company. In addition, the
amendment established the WSFS Base Profit-Sharing Contribution to replace the
Discretionary Profit-Sharing Contribution, modified the vesting schedule, and
revised the employer matching contribution program. Each of these amendments is
discussed further in the captions that follow.

     Eligibility:

All full- and part-time employees 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.
Employees 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.

     Contributions:

Participants may authorize the Employers to make payroll deductions under the
Plan from 1% to 15% of their total compensation not to exceed $10,000 in 1998.
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 pre-tax 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
pre-tax basis. The Employers' contributions to the Plan are made monthly and
comprise the following:

1.   Company Matching Contribution - An employer matching contribution program
     was implemented effective July 1, 1993, under which the Company matched 25%
     of the employees' contribution up to 6%. This matching contribution program
     was amended effective July 1, 1997 such that the Company matches 100% of
     the employee's contribution up to 5% of total compensation. The matching
     contribution is in the form of WSFS Financial Corporation common stock.

2.   Employer Base Profit Sharing Contribution - Effective July 1, 1993, the
     Company implemented a profit sharing program. The program was amended and
     effective as of July 1, 1997. The contribution for each eligible
     participant is calculated as a fixed percentage of the participant's total
     compensation. Prior to that the contribution was calculated on a pro-rata
     basis of the Participant's compensation in relation to the total
     compensation of all participants. The profit sharing contribution is in the
     form of WSFS Financial Corporation common stock and consists of two parts:

       o Base Contribution - Awarded quarterly based on the fixed percentage
         established at the beginning of the year.

       o Supplemental Contribution - Awarded at year-end or shortly thereafter
         in the event the Company equaled or exceeded budgeted targets for the
         entire year.

     For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, no Supplemental
     Contribution was made. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Board
     of Directors approved a Supplemental Contribution of $140,000 to the 401(K)
     Plan. The contribution was invested in WSFS Financial Corporation common
     stock and distributed to the Plan as of December 31, 1996. The distribution
     to Plan participants was calculated according to the formula discussed
     above.

3.   Excess Flexible Benefit Funds - Under the Employers' BeneFlex programs,
     employees are provided a fixed amount of funds by the Employer which can be
     used to purchase optional employee benefits. In lieu of purchasing such
     benefits, employees may direct all or part of these funds to be contributed
     to the Plan on their behalf.

     Participants' accounts:

Participants' accounts are credited for their contributions and the Employers'
contribution made on their behalf. Participants' accounts are also credited with
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.

     Vesting:

All employee contributions are 100% vested and are not subject to forfeiture for
any reason. Employer contributions which are forfeited by participants reduce
future Employer contributions. Employer's contributions were vested immediately
for employees who enrolled in the Plan prior to June 30, 1993. The Plan's
vesting schedule was amended as of July 1, 1997. The new vesting schedule
applies to all participants who enrolled in the Plan after June 30, 1993. The
table below shows the vesting schedule (old and amended) for employees who
enrolled in the Plan after June 30, 1993.


                                                                   Vested

     Withdrawals:

Participants' accounts are segregated between pre-January 1, 1988 and
post-January 1, 1988 contributions. Employee contributions made subsequent to
January 1, 1988 are made on a pre-tax basis and 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.

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 Employee 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 their dependents
       4. Tuition for the next semester or quarter of post-secondary education
         of the employee, spouse or dependents.

Hardship withdrawals are subject to applicable withholding taxes.


<PAGE>

     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.

     Investment funds:

Eight investment funds have been established effective July 1, 1997 with Charles
Schwab Trust Company (CSTC or Trustee) for the investment of participant's and
Employer contributions. The Charles Schwab Trust Company replaced the Wilmington
Trust Company as Trustee. The funds offered by CSTC replaced those offered by
Wilmington Trust Company at the time of the change in Trustee.

All contributions are allocated to the investment fund in accordance with the
participant's individual investment election. Participants may elect to invest
in increments of not less than 5% in any of the eight different funds.
Participants may change their investment elections monthly. The Trustee is
authorized to invest and reinvest the contributions allocated to each of the
investment funds, including all sales proceeds, investment income and other
payments received. A general description of the investments maintained in each
fund, per the fund prospectus, is described below.

Funds as of December 31, 1998 are as follows:

     Schwab Institutional Advantage Money Fund - This fund is designed for
     investors who seek maximum current income consistent with liquidity and
     stability of capital. The Fund invests in high-quality, short-term debt
     securities; CD's; commercial paper; obligations of, or guaranteed by, the
     U.S. government; and repurchase agreements.

     Strong Government Securities Fund - This fund invests for a high level of
     current income with a moderate degree of share-price fluctuation. It is
     designed for long-term investors who want to pursue higher income than
     shorter-term securities generally provide. It invests at least 80% if its
     total assets in AAA-rated U.S. Government securities and normally maintains
     an average maturity between five and ten years. An investment in this Fund
     is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

     Oakmark Fund - This fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing
     primarily in equity securities. Although income is considered in the
     selection of securities, the Fund is not designed for investors whose
     primary investment objective is income. The fund invests principally in
     securities of U.S. issues. However, it may invest up to 25% of its total
     assets in non-US issuers.

     Dreyfus Appreciation Fund - This fund's primary investment objective is to
     provide the investor with long-term capital growth consistent with the
     preservation of capital. Current income is a secondary investment
     objective. Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest principally
     in common stocks of domestic and foreign issues. Typically, the fund will
     invest at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks. The Fund may invest
     up to 10% of the value of its assets in securities of foreign governments
     and foreign companies which are not publicly traded in the United States.
     Under adverse market conditions, the fund will invest all of its assets in
     money market instruments.


<PAGE>

     Dreyfus Small Company Value Fund - This fund's investment objective is
     capital appreciation. It seeks to achieve this by investing principally
     (65%) in a portfolio of publicly-traded equity securities of domestic and
     foreign issuers which are characterized as "value" companies according to
     criteria established by the Dreyfus Corporation. In general, companies with
     relatively low price to book ratios, low price to earnings ratios, or
     higher than average dividend payments in relation to price are "value"
     companies.

     Janus Worldwide Fund - This fund is a diversified fund that seeks long-term
     growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of foreign and
     domestic issuers of any size. Normally it invests in issuers from at least
     five different countries, including the United States. The fund may invest
     in fewer than five countries and at times a single country.

     Vanguard Index 500 Fund - This fund seeks to match, as closely as possible,
     the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index,
     which emphasizes stocks of large U.S. companies. This portfolio is intended
     to be a long-term investment vehicle.

     WSFS Financial Common Stock Fund - This fund invests solely in shares of
     the common stock issued by WSFS Financial Corporation. This fund was in
     place prior to July 1, 1997 and continues to be in use.

The Loan fund is used solely to hold principal and interest payments on
outstanding loans and is not an investment alternative for contributions.
However, amounts paid on outstanding loans are allocated to the available
investment funds in a manner consistent with the participant's individual
investment elections.

     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 borne by the Plan participants.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

     Basis of presentation:

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting. Revenues and expenses are recognized when earned or incurred in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     Investment in securities:

Investments in short-term securities are valued at cost which 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.



<PAGE>


     Revenue recognition and method of accounting:

The Plan records all transactions on an accrual basis. Investment income is
recorded as earned. The Plan calculates realized gains and losses and unrealized
appreciation and depreciation as the difference between market value and cost;
IRS Form 5500 calculates realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation
and depreciation as the difference between market value at time of sale and
market value at the prior period year end.

     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.
