- This will impact our outsourced manufacturing provider.

Codan Limited advises that as a result of the global spread of Coronvarius (COVID-19), the Malaysian Government has announced the suspension of all non-essential services from 18 March 2020 to 31 March 2020. This will impact our Malaysian-based outsourced contract manufacturers.
We do not expect this two-week closure to impact on our ability to supply our customers over this period.
Consistent with the first half, the Codan group has continued to see strong sales through to March 2020. The business continues to have a strong balance sheet, with in excess of $65 million net cash.
Since the initial outbreak of COVID-19 we have taken steps to prioritise the health and safety of our employees by implementing working-from-home measures, suspending all business- related travel, prohibiting non-critical external visitors and closely monitoring and adhering to Government guidelines.
