Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

11. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

Our goodwill and other intangible assets were accounted for in accordance with the accounting guidance in FASB ASC Topic 350 Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.

At December 31, 2012, we completed the Step One test of the analysis to determine potential goodwill impairment of the WSFS Bank and Trust and Wealth Management reporting units. The valuation incorporated a market-based analysis and indicated the fair values of our WSFS Bank and Trust and Wealth Management reporting units were above their carrying amounts. Therefore, in accordance with FASB ASC 350-20-35-6, the Step Two analysis was not required at that time. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 we determined there were no events or other indicators of impairment as it relates to goodwill or other intangibles.

FASB ASC 350, also requires that an acquired intangible asset be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer’s intent to do so.

The following table summarizes other intangible assets:


	Gross Intangible Assets		Accumulated Amortization			Net Intangible Assets
	(In Thousands)
March 31, 2013
Core deposits	$	4,370	$	(2,166	)	$	2,204

Other		4,464		(1,640	)		2,824

Total other intangible assets	$	8,834	$	(3,660	)	$	5,174

Core deposits are amortized over their expected lives using the present value of the benefit of the core deposits and straight-line methods of amortization. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized amortization expense on other intangible assets of $204,000.

The following presents the estimated amortization expense of intangibles:
