markets in general and the market for companies in our industry in particular have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often

international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our common stock. You may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment. In the past, companies that have experienced
volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We have been a party to this type of litigation in the past and may be the target of this type of litigation again in the future. Securities

1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions, that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;project,&#148; &#147;might,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;anticipates,&#148; &#147;believes,&#148;

Sequel SMRT Cell 1M and the SMRT Cell 8M, market opportunities, strategic and commercial plans, including strategy for our business and related financing, expectations regarding the conversion of backlog to revenue and the pricing and gross margin
for products, manufacturing plans including developing and scaling of manufacturing and delivery of our products, research and development plans, product releases, product development including, among other things, statements relating to future
uses, quality or performance of, or benefits of using, products or technologies, updates or improvements of our products, intentions regarding seeking regulatory approval for our products, competition, expectations regarding unrecognized income tax
benefits, expectations regarding the impact of an increase in market rates on the value of our investment portfolio, the sufficiency of cash, cash equivalents and investments to fund projected operating requirements, the effects of recent accounting
pronouncements on our financial statements and other future events, statements of belief and any statement of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. We discuss in greater detail, and incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus in their entirety, many of these risks and uncertainties under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations
disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual

tangible book value per share is equal to the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between
the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately afterwards. After giving effect to the sale by us of 14,117,647&nbsp;shares of common stock
in this offering at the public offering price of $4.25 per share and after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value at June&nbsp;30, 2018 would have been approximately
$141.5&nbsp;million, or $0.97 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.32 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $3.28 per share to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in
this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

novo genome assembly to finish genomes in order to more fully identify, annotate and decipher genomic structures; full-length transcript analysis to improve annotations in reference genomes, characterize alternatively spliced isoforms and find novel
genes; targeted sequencing to more comprehensively characterize genetic variations; and DNA base modification identification to help characterize epigenetic regulation and DNA damage. Our technology combines very high consensus accuracy and long
read lengths with the ability to detect real-time kinetic information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In September 2015, we announced that we had launched a new nucleic

contain a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in
the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks,
uncertainties and assumptions discussed under Item&nbsp;1A, &#147;Risk Factors,&#148; in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016 and any updates described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, all of which
are incorporated herein by reference, and may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future and any prospectus supplement related to a particular offering. The risks and uncertainties we
have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to
lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><A NAME="toc620303_3"></A>FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS </B></P>

contain certain statements that constitute &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words &#147;anticipate,&#148;

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; and &#147;Business,&#148; and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the company and management that are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed in the section titled &#147;Risk Factors&#148; set forth above. </P>

Indenture Act will for the first 360 days after the occurrence of such an event of default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the relevant series of debt securities at an annual rate equal to (i)&nbsp;0.25% of the
principal amount of such series of debt securities for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such event of default and (ii)&nbsp;0.50% of the principal amount of such series of debt securities from the 181st day to, and including, the 360th day

occurs until such violation is cured or waived and shall be payable on each relevant interest payment date to holders of record on the regular record date immediately preceding the interest payment date. On the 361st day after such event of default
(if such violation is not cured or waived prior to such 361st day), the debt securities will be subject to acceleration as provided above. In the event we do not elect to pay additional interest upon any such event of default in accordance with this

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering
transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. </P>

derivative instruments with returns linked to or related to changes in the price of the securities. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions, we may enter into security lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters or agents.
The underwriters or agents may effect the derivative transactions through sales of the securities to the public, including short sales, or by lending the securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. The underwriters or agents
may also use the securities purchased or borrowed from us or others (or, in the case of derivatives, securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle sales of the securities or close out any related
open borrowings of the securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Electronic auctions </B></P>

would be accepted, prorated or rejected. For example, in the case of a debt security, the clearing spread could be indicated as a number of &#147;basis points&#148; above an index treasury note. Of course, many pricing methods can and may also be
used. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon completion of such an electronic auction process, securities will be allocated based on prices bid, terms of bid or other
