5-6-2 Exception 3 states that a penalty may carry over to the next quarter in the case of a CE.
Scenario: A1 is fouled while dribbling at the expiration of time in the 3rd quarter. The officials do not notice that it is the 7th team foul. The 4th quarter begins with the AP throw-in to Team A and after six seconds A3 is called for traveling. At this time the scorer alerts the officials to the failure to award FTs to A1.
You can't go back to the 3rd quarter now after playing six seconds of the 4th quarter! So the 1-1 in this specific case would be part of the 4th quarter.

The difference there is that the next quarter has already started with the AP throwin.
