Yes. And they're balanced by an equal amount in the "we owe this much to the 
lenders" and "we owe this much to the stockholders" accounts.

To be specific, double-entry bookkeeping has two columns of numbers (the 
rows being accounts). Those two columns have to add up to the same number. 
If you ever wind up with a positive difference, you're not doing it right.
