ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS



                            THE MEDITRUST COMPANIES
                INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On January 3, 1998, La Quinta Inns, Inc. ("La Quinta"), Meditrust Corporation
and Meditrust Operating Company (collectively known as, "The Meditrust
Companies") entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "La Quinta Merger
Agreement") pursuant to which La Quinta will merge with and into Meditrust
Corporation being the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). As a result of the
merger, Meditrust Corporation will acquire all of the assets and liabilities of
La Quinta and Meditrust Corporation will assume approximately $900 million of La
Quinta's existing indebtedness.

La Quinta is currently one of the largest owners/operators of mid-priced
hotels, without food and beverage, facilities in the United States, having over
270 inns and hotels primarily located in the western and southern United
States. La Quinta was formed and incorporated in Texas in 1968 originally as La
Quinta Motor Inns, Inc. La Quinta became a publicly traded entity in 1972 and
adopted its present name in 1992.

Pursuant to the terms of the La Quinta Merger Agreement, shareholders of La
Quinta have the option to elect to receive, either (i) a combination of common
stock of The Meditrust Companies (the "Paired Shares") and the earnings and
profit distribution referred to below, or (ii) cash, subject to the amount of
aggregate cash payable to La Quinta shareholders being limited to approximately
$521 million (representing approximately 24% to 28% of the total merger
consideration depending on the Meeting Date Price described below). The stock
consideration will be payable in Paired Shares under an exchange ratio
determined based on the average closing price of the Paired Shares for 20
randomly determined trading days in a 30-day period ending the seventh day
prior to La Quinta's shareholder meeting called to consider the Merger (the
"Meeting Date Price"). As of the date of the pro forma financial statements
presented herein, the meeting date price is anticipated to be $32.00.

The La Quinta Merger Agreement provides that the La Quinta shareholders
electing to receive stock considerations will receive Paired Shares in an
amount, based on the Meeting Date Price, equal to the difference between $26.00
and the earnings and profit distribution to be received per La Quinta share, so
long as the Meeting Date Price is between $34.20 and $41.80. La Quinta
shareholders electing to receive stock consideration will also receive the
earnings and profit distribution so long as they hold the Paired Shares on the
applicable record date. The earnings and profit distribution is expected to be
declared immediately prior to the La Quinta Merger, payable to all shareholders
of record of The Meditrust Companies on a date to be determined by Meditrust
between the fifteenth and the forty-fifth day following the Merger and payable
within fifteen days of such record date. If the Meeting Date Price is greater
than or equal to $41.80 but less than or equal to $45.60, the exchange ratio
for each share of La Quinta common stock exchanged into Paired Shares will be
0.6220, reduced by the consideration to be received in the earnings and profit
distribution per La Quinta share (resulting in total consideration based on the
Meeting Date Price ranging from $26.00 to $28.36 per share of La Quinta common
stock, including the earnings and profit distribution, as the Meeting Date
Price increases through this range). If the Meeting Date Price is greater than
$45.60, then each La Quinta share will be entitled to receive $28.36 in total
consideration based on the Meeting Date Price, comprised of Paired Shares and
the earnings and profit distribution referred to above.

If the Meeting Date Price is less than $34.20 but greater than or equal to
$30.40, the exchange ratio for each share of La Quinta common stock exchanged
into Paired Shares will be 0.7602, reduced by the amount to be received in the
earnings and profit distribution per La Quinta share (resulting in total
consideration based on the Meeting Date Price ranging from $26.00 to $23.11 per
share of La Quinta common stock, including the earnings and profit
distribution, as the Meeting Date Price decreases through this range). If the
Meeting Date Price is below $30.40, La Quinta will have the right to terminate
the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, subject to a "top-up" right
exercisable by The Meditrust Companies, which is designed to return total
consideration per La Quinta share based on the Meeting Date Price to at least
$23.11 inclusive of the earning and profit distribution. If the Meeting Date
Price is below $28.50, La Quinta will have the unilateral right to terminate
the Merger Agreement.

The La Quinta Merger is subject to various conditions including, without
limitation, approval of the Merger by two-thirds of the outstanding shares of
La Quinta common stock, by a majority of the outstanding shares of The
Meditrust Companies, and regulatory agencies.

In addition, on January 11, 1998, The Meditrust Companies and Cobblestone
Holdings, Inc. ("Cobblestone") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Cobblestone Merger Agreement" and together with the Merger with
La Quinta, the "La Quinta/Cobblestone Mergers"), pursuant to which
Cobblestone will merge with and into The Meditrust Companies. Cobblestone is a
privately held company and one of the leading owners/operators of golf courses
in the United States. Cobblestone has a portfolio of 25 facilities with 29
courses in major golf markets in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Texas
and Virginia.

Under the terms of the Cobblestone Merger Agreement, The Meditrust Companies
will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Cobblestone for Paired
Shares of The Meditrust Companies, and all of the outstanding preferred stock of
Cobblestone for either Paired Shares of The Meditrust Companies and/or, at The
Meditrust Companies' option, cash, with an aggregate value of approximately $241
million. The number of Paired Shares of The Meditrust Companies to be issued in
exchange for each outstanding share of common and preferred stock of
Cobblestone, is expected to be 7,531 shares using $32.00 as the stock price as
of the calculation date, are subject to adjustment in the manner described in
the Cobblestone Merger Agreement. In addition, approximately $154,000,000 of
Cobblestone debt and associated costs will be refinanced or assumed as a
condition of the closing. The Cobblestone Merger is subject to customary closing
conditions.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been adjusted for the purchase method of
accounting whereby the hotels, golf resorts and related improvements and other
assets and liabilities owned by La Quinta and Cobblestone are adjusted to
estimated fair market value. The fair market value of the assets and liabilities
of La Quinta and Cobblestone have been determined based upon preliminary
estimates and are subject to change as additional information is obtained.
Management does not anticipate that the preliminary allocation of purchase costs
based upon the estimated fair market value of the assets and liabilities of La
Quinta and Cobblestone will materially change; however, the allocation of
purchase costs is subject to final determination based upon estimates and other
evaluations of fair market value as of the close of the transactions. Therefore,
the allocations reflected in the following unaudited Pro Forma Financial
Statements may differ from the amounts ultimately determined.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements have also been adjusted for the issuance of
8,500,000 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Common Stock by The
Meditrust Companies on February 27, 1998. The estimated aggregate proceeds is
$272 million, net of transaction costs. The net proceeds of this transaction
will be used to finance certain costs associated with the La Quinta/Cobblestone
Mergers and to finance ongoing investments for health care financing
transactions.

The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Operations presented
assume the La Quinta/Cobblestone Mergers had been consummated on terms set forth
in the La Quinta/Cobblestone Merger Agreements as of or at the beginning of the
period presented. In addition, the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Balance Sheet presented assumes the La Quinta/Cobblestone Mergers had occurred
on December 31, 1997.

The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 1997 of The Meditrust Companies, Meditrust Corporation
and Meditrust Operating Company are derived from historical financial
information and pro forma information based in part upon the Combined and
separate Statements of Income of The Meditrust Companies, filed with The
Meditrust Companies' Form 8-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, and in part
upon the Consolidated Statements of Operations of La Quinta Inns, Inc. filed
with Form 8-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the Consolidated
Statements of Operations of Cobblestone Holdings, Inc. filed on Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 1997. The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Balance Sheet is based in part upon The Meditrust Companies Combined
and separate Balance Sheets as of December 31, 1997 and should be read in
conjunction with the La Quinta Inns, Inc. and Cobblestone Holdings, Inc's
financial statements as of December 31, 1997 and September 30, 1997,
respectively. In management's opinion, all material adjustments necessary to
reflect the effects of the La Quinta/Cobblestone Mergers have been made.

beginning of the period presented, nor do they purport to represent the results

</TABLE>

Interest expense on The Meditrust Companies' Revolving Credit Facility assumes
an average interest rate of 7.5%. An increase of 25 basis points in the
interest rate on this variable rate debt would increase pro forma interest
expense by $2,466, decrease net income to $135,460 and decrease basic earnings
per share by $0.02 based upon 127,002 basic weighted average common shares
outstanding.

(G) Represents adjustments to reflect amortization of goodwill of $20,914 and
$8,408 pertaining to the mergers with La Quinta and Cobblestone, respectively.
Goodwill represents purchase consideration in excess of the fair market value
of the net assets of La Quinta and Cobblestone. Amortization of goodwill is
computed using the straight line method over a 20 year estimated useful life.

(H) Represents adjustment to increase depreciation of real estate and
personalty and amortization of intangible assets acquired. Depreciation is
computed using the straight line method and is based upon the estimated useful
lives of 30 years for buildings and improvements, 20 years for land
improvements and 5 to 7 years for personal property. Amortization of the
tradename asset is computed using the straight line method over a 20 year
estimated life. Intangible assets for the assembled work force and customer
reservation system are amortized on a straight line basis over a 3 year
estimated life. These estimates are based upon management's knowledge of the
properties and the hotel and golf course industries in general.

(I) Represents adjustment to reclassify property tax and insurance expenses
related to the ownership of real estate assets from Operating Company to
Meditrust Corporation.

(J) Represents adjustments to interest expense based upon the reduction in
additional borrowings assumed to be incurred in connection with the La
Quinta/Cobblestone Mergers, effected through the receipt of approximately
$272,000 from the issuance of 8,500 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible
Common Stock in a Forward Equity Transaction.

(K) Represents the adjustments to record dividends allocable to the holders of
Series A Non-Voting Convertible Common Stock, assuming a dividend rate of LIBOR
plus 75 basis points.
