1									     EXHIBIT 99.1

STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL
FINANCIAL OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE
ACT FILINGS

I, David E. Maguire, state and attest that:

(1)	To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports
      of KEMET Corporation, and, except as corrected or supplemented in a
      subsequent covered report:

* no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials,
as of the date on which it was filed); and

* no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make
   the statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances
   under which they were made, not misleading as of the end of the
   period covered by such report (or in the case of a report on Form
   8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was
   filed).

(2)	I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's audit
      committee.

(3)	In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
      before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

* Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission of KEMET
   Corporation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002;

* all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all definitive
   proxy materials of KEMET Corporation filed with the Commission
   subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K identified above; and

* any amendments to any of the foregoing.
