Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS

        Meditrust (the "Company") is in the process of negotiating the terms,
conditions and structure of a proposed sale of $105,000,000 principal amount of
the Company's convertible notes to certain institutional investors (primarily
insurance companies) in transactions arranged by NatWest Securities Limited and
Smith Barney Inc.  Based upon current negotiations, the notes are expected to
be issued in two series, one in the principal amount of $40,000,000 bearing
interst at 8.54% with a five-year term and the other in the principal amount of
$65,000,000 bearing interest at 8.56% with a seven-year term.  The notes are
expected to be convertible into shares of beneficial interest, at the option of
the holder, at a conversion price of $32.625 per share.  There is no assurance
that this transaction will be consummated.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 VS. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993.

         Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1994 were $172,993,000
compared to $150,375,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993, an increase of
$22,618,000 or 15%. Revenue growth resulted from increased rental income of
$2,059,000 and increased interest income of $20,559,000 resulting primarily from
additional real estate investments made during the past year.

         For the year ended December 31, 1994, total expenses increased by
$5,794,000. Interest expense increased by $5,286,000 and resulted from the
issuance of convertible debentures in November 1993 and March 1994 and a higher
level of short-term borrowings during 1994. The increase was partially offset by
the prepayment of senior secured and unsecured debt totaling $23,300,000 and the
conversion of convertible debentures totaling $59,002,000 during 1994.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $894,000 and general and
administrative expense decreased by $386,000.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 VS. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992.

         Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1993 were $150,375,000
compared to $132,394,000 for the year ended December 31, 1992, an increase of
$17,981,000 or 14%. Revenue growth resulted from increased rental income of
$10,325,000 and increased interest income of $7,656,000 as a result of
additional real estate investments made during the past year.

         For the year ended December 31, 1993, total expenses increased by
$5,703,000. Interest expense increased by $4,034,000 and resulted primarily from
the issuance of convertible debentures in February and November 1993 which was
partially offset by the prepayment of senior debt in December 1992. Depreciation
and amortization expense increased by $2,245,000 primarily due to depreciation
of the additional real estate investments made during the past year and general
and administrative expense decreased by $576,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company provides funding for its investments through a combination
of long-term and short-term financing including both debt and equity. The
Company obtains long-term financing through the issuance of Shares, the issuance
of long-term unsecured

                                      -2-

notes, the issuance of convertible debentures and the assumption of mortgage
notes. The Company obtains short-term financing through the use of bank lines of
credit which are replaced with long-term financing as appropriate. From time to
time, the Company may utilize interest rate caps or swaps to hedge interest rate
volatility. It is the Company's objective to match the mortgage and lease terms
with the terms of its borrowings. The Company seeks to maintain an appropriate
spread between its borrowing costs and the rate of return on its investments.
When development loans convert to sale/leaseback transactions or permanent
mortgage loans, the base rent or interest rate, as appropriate, is fixed at the
time of such conversion.

         In March 1994, the Company issued $90,000,000 of 7 1/2% convertible
debentures due 2001 and the proceeds were used to repay short-term borrowings.

         In October 1994, the Company completed the sale of 4,500,000 Shares at
$30.875 and the proceeds of $138,937,000 were used to repay short-term
borrowings and for investments in additional health care facilities.

         As of December 31, 1994, the Company's gross real estate investments
totaled $1,550,147,000 including 233 long-term care facilities, 23
rehabilitation hospitals, two alcohol and substance abuse treatment facilities,
six psychiatric hospitals, four retirement living facilities and six medical
office buildings. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had outstanding funding
commitments of approximately $31,398,000 for the completion of ten facilities
under construction and for additions to three existing facilities. The Company
has shareholders' equity of $770,147,000 and a total debt to equity ratio of 1.0
to 1.0 as of December 31, 1994.

         As of January 31, 1995, the Company has an unsecured revolving line of
credit expiring July 1997 in the amount of $205,000,000 bearing interest at the
lender's prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.25%. In addition, the Company has effective
shelf registrations on file with the Securities and Exchange commission under
which the Company may issue up to $444,000,000 of securities including debt,
convertible debt and shares of beneficial interest.

         The Company believes that its various sources of capital resources are
adequate to finance its operations as well as pending property acquisitions,
mortgage financings and future dividends. For the balance of 1995, however, in
the event that the Company identifies appropriate investment opportunities, the
Company may raise additional capital through the sale of shares of beneficial
interest or by the issuance of additional long-term debt.

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND TRUSTEES OF MEDITRUST:

             We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
        Meditrust as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
        consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and
        cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
        1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
        Company'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, the financial statements referred to above
        represent fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
        position of Meditrust at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
        consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
        the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Meditrust (the "Company"), a real estate investment trust, invests
         primarily in the subacute sector of the health care industry, including
         long-term care facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, and other health
         care related facilities. These facilities are located throughout the
         United States and are operated by regional and national health care
         providers. The Company's more significant accounting policies follow:

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
         Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned
         partnerships of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

         REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

         Land, buildings and improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is
         provided for on a straight-line basis over 40 years, the expected
         useful lives of the buildings and improvements. The Company provides
         reserves for potential losses based upon management's periodic review
         of its assets and classifies these reserves as appropriate reductions
         to the assets or includes such reserves in accrued expenses and other
         liabilities.

         CAPITALIZATION OF CONSTRUCTION PERIOD INTEREST

         The Company capitalizes interest costs associated with funds used to
         finance the construction of facilities. The amount capitalized is based
         upon the borrowings outstanding during the construction period using
         the rate of interest which approximates the Company's cost of
         financing.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         Cash and cash equivalents consist of certificates of deposit and other
         investments with less than 90-day maturities at the time of purchase
         and are stated at cost which approximates fair value.

                                   MEDITRUST


         OTHER ASSETS

         Other assets includes cash restricted for specified disbursement in
         accordance with certain facility acquisitions and mortgage financings
         and other corresponding liabilities are reflected in accrued expenses
         and other liabilities. Other assets also include facilities' operating
         receivables, working capital advances and goodwill associated with the
         acquisition of the Company's previous investment advisor which is being
         amortized on a straight-line basis over a ten-year period.

         DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

         Debt issuance costs have been deferred and are being amortized using
         primarily the effective interest method over the term of the related
         borrowings.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Rental income from operating leases is recognized as earned over the
         life of the lease agreements. Interest income on real estate mortgages
         is recognized on the accrual basis. Deferred income consists
         principally of fees which are being amortized over the fixed term of
         the lease, the mortgage or the construction period related to such
         facilities.

         NET INCOME PER SHARE

         Net income per share of beneficial interest ("Shares") is computed
         using the weighted average number of Shares outstanding during the year
         of computation.

         INCOME TAXES

         The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
         under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and believes it
         has met all the requirements for qualification as such. Accordingly,
         the Company will not be subject to federal income taxes on amounts
         distributed to shareholders, provided it distributes annually at least
         95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income and meets
         certain other requirements for qualifying as a real estate investment
         trust. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is believed
         necessary in the financial statements.

NOTE 4.  MERGER BETWEEN SUN HEALTHCARE AND MEDIPLEX

         In June 1994, Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. ("Sun") merged with The
         Mediplex Group, Inc. ("Mediplex"). The merged entities comprise
         approximately 24% of the Company's portfolio of gross real estate
         investments as of December 31, 1994. A condition of the Company's
         consent to this merger was the extension of all existing Mediplex lease
         and mortgage terms to between 2004 and 2008 and the addition of annual
         rate escalators.

              In connection with this transaction, the Company (a) terminated
        its leases with Mediplex on three properties (two alcohol and substance
        abuse treatment facilities and one psychiatric hospital located in New
        York) with a net book value of $101,537,000 and replaced these leases
        with mortgages from Sun totaling $74,000,000, (b) loaned $11,000,000 to
        Sun which was collateralized by a mortgage on a rehabilitation facility
        located in Colorado and (c) entered into sale/leaseback transactions
        with Sun totaling $30,000,000 for two rehabilitation facilities located
        in Kentucky and Massachusetts and for a long-term care facility located 
        in Connecticut. This transaction resulted in a

         deferred gain of $13,463,000 currently being recognized over a ten-year
         period.

               The Company recorded revenues from Mediplex of $20,107,000, 
         $37,937,000 and $32,741,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 
         1993 and 1992 respectively.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 5.  SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

         Distributions paid to shareholders are determined by the Company's
         Board of Trustees based on an analysis of cash flows from operating
         activities. Cash flows from operating activities differ from net income
         primarily due to depreciation and amortization expense, a noncash item.
         Distributions in excess of net income as reflected on the Company's
         consolidated balance sheets are primarily a result of an accumulation
         of this difference. All Shares participate equally in dividends and in
         net assets available for distribution to shareholders on liquidation or
         termination of the Company. The Trustees of the Company have the
         authority to effect certain Share redemptions or prohibit the transfer
         of Shares under certain circumstances.

              Total distributions to shareholders during the years ended
         December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 included a return of capital per Share
         of $.3306, $.3797, and $.7462, respectively. Also, the 1993
         distribution includes a long-term capital gain distribution of $.1351
         per Share.

NOTE 7.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a
         number of significant assumptions associated with each financial
         instrument or group of financial instruments. Because of a variety of
         permitted calculations and assumptions regarding estimates of future
         cash flows, risks, discount rates and relevant comparable market
         information, reasonable comparisons of the Company's fair value
         information with other companies cannot necessarily be made.

               The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
         fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
         estimate that value:
        
         REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES

         The fair value of real estate mortgages have been estimated by
         discounting future cash flows using current interest rates at which
         similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings
         and for the same remaining maturities. As of December 31, 1994, the
         fair value of real estate mortgages amounted to approximately
         $932,000,000.

                                   MEDITRUST


         INDEBTEDNESS

         The quoted market price for the Company's publicly traded convertible
         debentures and rates currently available to the Company for debt with
         similar terms and remaining maturities were used to estimate fair value
         of existing debt. As of December 31, 1994, the fair value of the
         Company's indebtedness amounted to approximately $773,000,000.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 8.  LEASE COMMITMENTS

         The Company's land and facilities are generally leased pursuant to
         noncancelable, fixed-term operating leases expiring from 1996 to 2008.
         The leases also generally provide multiple, five-year renewal options
         and the option to purchase the facilities at fair market value at the
         end of the initial term of the lease or at various times during the
         lease.

              The lessees are required to pay aggregate base rent during the
         lease term and applicable debt service payments as well as percentage,
         supplemental and additional rent (as defined in the lease agreements).
         For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, additional rent
         from the leases and additional interest from the mortgages amounted to
         $8,156,000, $8,657,000 and $7,621,000, respectively. In addition, the
         lessees pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating costs
         of the land and facilities.

              Future minimum lease payments, including debt service payments (as
         defined in the lease agreements) which are based on interest rates in
         effect at December 31, 1994, expected to be received by the Company
         during the initial term of the leases for the years subsequent to
         December 31, 1994, are as follows:

NOTE 9.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In December 1993, the Chapter 11 Trustee of Towers Financial
         Corporation commenced an action in the Suffolk County Superior Court
         for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts against one of the Company's
         lessees and in January, 1994 two subsidiaries of the Company were named
         as additional defendants. The plaintiff alleges that it holds a prior
         security interest in the accounts receivable of seven health care
         facilities, one of which is owned by the Company. The plaintiff demands
         payment of all such receivables including those collected by the
         Company (which, as of December 31, 1994, totaled approximately
         $12,976,000). The Company is vigorously defending this action. It has
         filed an answer and counterclaim denying any liability to the plaintiff
         and asserting that the plaintiff does not have a valid prior security
         interest in any assets of the Company or its borrowers. The Company is
         a party to a number of other claims and lawsuits arising out of the
         normal course of business; the Company believes that none of these
         claims or pending lawsuits, either individually or in the aggregate,
         will have a material adverse affect on the Company's business or on its
         consolidated financial position.

NOTE 10. STOCK OPTION PLANS

         Incentive awards under the Company's stock option plans (the "Plans")
         which may be granted by the Board of Trustees include nonqualified or
         nonstatutory options to purchase Company shares and incentive stock
         options (collectively, "options"). The number of Shares available for
         issuance under the Plans is 5% of the number of outstanding Shares. Up
         to 500,000 Shares available under each Plan may be issued pursuant to
         incentive stock options. Trustees, officers and key employees of the
         Company or any other entity providing similar services to the Company
         and its officers, directors and key employees, and all persons retained
         by the Company solely as consultants are eligible to participate in the
         Plans. Such options expire 10 years after the date granted. One third
         of all options granted become exercisable at the end of each year
         following the date of issuance. Options to purchase 411,000 Shares were
         exercisable as of December 31, 1994.

               Information concerning option activity for the years 1994, 1993
         and 1992 is as follows:
