1.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
       ------------------------------------------

       Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in
       financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
       accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q
       in compliance with the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and
       Exchange Commission.  However, in the opinion of Meditrust (the
       "Company"), the disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q are adequate to
       make the information presented not misleading.  See Report on Form 10-K
       for the year ended December 31, 1993 for additional information relevant
       to significant accounting policies followed by the Company.

       Basis of Presentation
       ---------------------

       In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
       financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
       recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
       as of September 30, 1994 and the results of operations for each of the
       three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 and cash
       flows for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and
       1993.  The results of operations for the nine-month period ended
       September 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results which
       may be expected for the entire year.  Certain 1993 amounts have been
       reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.

       estate investments.  A condition of the Company's consent to this merger
       was that all existing Mediplex lease and mortgage terms were extended to
       between 2004 and 2008 and adjusted to include 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 secured 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.

       debentures due 2001 which are convertible into Shares of the Company at
       $36.18 per Share.  The net proceeds from this debenture issuance were
       used to repay bank debt outstanding under its unsecured credit
       facilities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the
       Company also paid a principal installment in the amount of $12,500,000

       928,870 Shares and $33,492,000 of principal amount of 7% convertible
       debentures were converted into 1,093,609 Shares.

       The Company has a total of $177,000,000 in unsecured credit facilities
       bearing interest at the lenders' prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.50% of which
       approximately $69,264,000 is available at September 30, 1994.

6.     Distributions Paid to Shareholders
       ----------------------------------

       On August 15, 1994, the Company paid a dividend of $.6575 per Share to
       shareholders of record on July 29, 1994.  This dividend related to the
       period from April 1, 1994 through June 30, 1994.

7.     Subsequent Events
       -----------------

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             ---------------------

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1994 were $43,158,000
compared to $38,616,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1993, an
increase of $4,542,000 or 11.8%.  Rental income decreased by $1,548,000
primarily from the termination of leases in June 1994 on three facilities which
became mortgage investments and is more fully described in Note 4.  Interest
income increased by $6,090,000 and resulted primarily from additional real
estate investments made during the past twelve months.

For the three months ended September 30, 1994, total expenses increased by
$806,000.  Interest expense increased by $555,000 and resulted primarily from
the issuance of $86,250,000 of 6 7/8% debentures in November 1993 and the
issuance of $90,000,000 of 7 1/2% debentures in March 1994 and was partially
offset by the reduction in interest from the conversion of $25,975,000 of
principal amount of 9% debentures and the conversion of $41,127,000 of
principal amount of 7% debentures during the past twelve months.  Depreciation
and amortization decreased by $178,000 primarily due to a reduction in
depreciation expense relating to the termination of the three leases in June
1994 as described above.  General and administrative expenses increased by
$429,000 principally attributable to a higher level of operating expenses.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 were $126,531,000
compared to $112,552,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1993, an
increase of $13,979,000 or 12.4%.  Revenue growth resulted from increased
rental income of $3,217,000 and increased interest income of $10,762,000 as a
result of additional real estate investments made during the past twelve
months.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, total expenses increased by
$4,369,000.  Interest expense increased by $1,870,000 and resulted primarily
from the issuance of $86,250,000 of 6 7/8% debentures in November 1993 and the
issuance of $90,000,000 of 7 1/2% debentures in March 1994 and was partially
offset by the reduction in interest from the conversion of $25,975,000 of
principal amount of 9% debentures and the conversion of $41,127,000 of
principal amount of 7% debentures during the past twelve months.  Depreciation
and amortization increased by $1,183,000 primarily due to depreciation on the
additional real estate investments made during the previous twelve-month
period.  General and administrative expenses increased by $1,316,000
principally attributable to a higher level of operating expenses.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                        -------------------------------

As of September 30, 1994, the Company's gross real estate investments totaled
approximately $1.4 billion including 192 long-term care facilities, 23
rehabilitation hospitals, two alcohol and substance abuse treatment facilities,
six psychiatric hospitals, three retirement living facilities and five medical
office buildings.

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


The Company had shareholders' equity of $637,909,000 and a debt to equity ratio
of 1.15 to 1.0 as of September 30, 1994.

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
convertible debentures, the issuance of long-term secured and unsecured notes
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.  It is the Company's objective to match 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 mortgage 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.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1994, the Company issued
$90,000,000 of 7 1/2% convertible debentures due 2001.  The net proceeds to the
Company from this offering were used to repay amounts outstanding under its
unsecured credit facilities.

As of September 30, 1994, the Company's outstanding commitments for additional
financing totaled approximately $34,700,000 for the completion of nine
facilities under construction and additional funding for additions to four
facilities in the real estate portfolio.  Under the Company's unsecured credit
facilities, a total of approximately $69,264,000 was available at September 30,
1994.

The Company believes that its various sources of capital are adequate to
finance its operations as well as pending property acquisitions, mortgage
financings, funding of existing development loans and future dividends.  For
the balance of 1994, 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.
