When you securitize the AR, you could get more money than your AR book value, which causes the gain.

Stock option exercise, usually you will exercise when your strike price is below the market price. Your action is exercise your option to the company, you pay the money (option price * shares) to the company and company gives you the stock. Meanwhile, company will repurchase the stock by using the money obtained from you. But you know, since the option price is different from market price, this difference will be granted tax benefit.

  Does the tax benefit come from the extra money that the company has to pay to buy the outstanding stocks at the market price because of the difference between strike price and market price?

well... you can think this way: this is actually a loss:
the company gets money from option exercisers and buy the same number (shares) of stocks. cash inflow is lower than cash outflow, so it's a loss, and the amount of loss is reflected in the income statement and tax return.

When the company files the tax return, it should calculate the taxable income. Due to the loss discussed above, the taxable income is lower, and therefore income tax (in tax return) is lower by the same amount. See? here is "tax benefit" due to loss.

个人理解供参考，如果不对请老师指教，谢谢。
