Opening stock is the value of goods on hand at the start of a year, and is an asset. So it needs to be listed in the balance sheet.

Many small businesses do not maintain a accurate listing of the value of their stock throughout the year, so the opening stock value remains there until a new estimate or count is made of the stock at the end of the year. This then becomes the 'opening stock' value for next year, and so forth.
