Abstract.   In this paper, root supermultiplicities and corresponding combinatorial identities for the Borcherds superalgebras which are extensions of A2 and A3 are found out. Moreover, superdimension formula for a Borcherds superalgebra which is an extension of a particular hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra is also computed.
