Item 1.     Security and Issuer

This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”), relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Direct Insite Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).  The Issuer's principal executive offices are located at 80 Orville Drive, Bohemia, New York 11716.

Item 2.     Identity and Background.

This statement is being jointly filed by Lawrence D. Hite, an individual (“Hite”), and Tall Oaks Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tall Oaks” and, together with Hite, the “Reporting Persons”).  The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13d-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), although neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that such a group exists.  A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement of the Reporting Persons is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.  Tall Oaks expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock other than the shares of Common Stock owned of record by Tall Oaks.  Hite expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock, other than the shares of Common Stock owned of record by Hite, which are in excess of the amount of his pecuniary interest in such securities.  The filing of this statement shall not be deemed to be an admission that any Reporting Person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement.
 
The address and principal place of business of Hite is 432 Park Avenue South, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10016.  The address and principal place of business of Tall Oaks is 119 West 72nd Street, #181, New York, New York 10023.

The principal business of Tall Oaks is to invest in stocks, bonds, partnership interests, commodities and other securities and financial instruments.  Tall Oaks may also engage in any other lawful purpose that is approved by its manager.

Hite is the manager of, and owns a 90.75% membership interest in, Tall Oaks and accordingly, is deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock which Tall Oaks beneficially owns.

Family members of Hite, directly and through trusts, own the remaining 9.25% membership interest in Tall Oaks; however, Hite disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock in excess of the amount of his pecuniary interest in such securities.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the members of Tall Oaks, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).  During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the members, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
 
Item 3.     Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On December 1, 2002, Hite acquired an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.00 in connection with providing a loan in the principal amount of $500,000.  This option expired, without being exercised, on April 30, 2007.

In January 2003, Tall Oaks purchased 78,187 restricted shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $125,099 as part of a private placement transaction.  The funds for such acquisition were obtained from investment funds available to Tall Oaks.
 
 


 
Also in January 2003, Tall Oaks provided the Issuer with an unsecured loan in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “Loan”).  The Loan bore interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum, and the entire unpaid principal and accrued interest was payable on March 31, 2005.  The funds for the Loan were obtained from investment funds available to Tall Oaks.  On June 27, 2003, the Loan was converted into 500 non-voting shares of Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) of the Issuer.

On June 2, 2003, in connection with providing a guaranty of certain indebtedness incurred by the Issuer, Hite acquired an option to purchase 350,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.40.  This option expired, without being exercised, on April 1, 2006.

On October 1, 2003, Hite acquired an option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.10 in connection with the conversion of a promissory note.  On June 27, 2007, Hite exercised the option and acquired 15,000 shares of Common Stock.  The funds for such acquisition were obtained from investment funds available to Hite.

On December 10, 2003, in connection with advisory services provided by Hite to the Issuer, Hite was issued a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.125 per share.

On December 16, 2003, Tall Oaks purchased 125 shares of non-voting Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Series C Preferred”) of the Issuer in connection with a private placement transaction, and in connection therewith, Tall Oaks was issued a warrant to purchase 133,718 shares of Common Stock having an exercise price of $0.9348 per share.  In addition, Hite was issued an option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.75 per share in connection with advisory services provided for such transaction.  The funds for the acquisition of the shares of Series C Preferred were obtained from investment funds available to Tall Oaks.

On March 15, 2004, Tall Oaks acquired a warrant to purchase 135,501 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.9225 per share in connection with the purchase of an additional 125 shares of the Series C Preferred.   The warrants and the shares of Series C Preferred were issued to Tall Oaks as part of a private placement transaction, and the aggregate purchase price paid for the warrants and the shares of Series C Preferred was $250,000.  The funds for such acquisition were obtained from investment funds available to Tall Oaks.

On June 30, 2005, the Issuer renewed a secured line of credit in the principal amount of $500,000 from JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Credit Facility”).  As a condition precedent to providing the Credit Facility, JPMorgan Chase Bank required guarantees of the Issuer’s obligations and a collateral agreement, and accordingly, each Reporting Person provided such guarantee. In consideration of the guarantee and delivery of a collateral agreement in connection therewith, on July 12, 2005, the Issuer issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Common Stock to Tall Oaks having an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Issuer issued 144,000 restricted shares of common stock in lieu of cash as payment to Hite in consideration of amounts owed to Hite for advisory services provided to the Issuer through June 30, 2006.

Hite is the Chairman of Metropolitan Venture Partners Corp., a Delaware corporation (“MetVP Corp”).  In addition, Hite, together with Tall Oaks and Hite Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hite Capital”), an entity controlled by Hite, own an aggregate of 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of MetVP Corp.  MetVP Corp is the general partner of Metropolitan Venture Partners (Advisors), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MetVP Advisors”).  MetVP Advisors is the general partner of Metropolitan Venture Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MetVP II”).  In addition, Tall Oaks owns approximately a 5% limited partnership interest in MetVP II and Hite Capital owns approximately a 2% limited partnership interest in MetVP II.  MetVP II may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, up to 2,492,657 shares of Common Stock, which includes 400,000 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of Common Stock, 562,010 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock and 1,346,800 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon conversion of the Companys Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock.  The Reporting Persons may be deemed, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange
 
 

 
 
Act”), to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by MetVP.  Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under the Exchange Act, this filing shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons, for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or otherwise, are the beneficial owners of the securities beneficially owned by MetVP II in excess of the amount of their respective pecuniary interests in such securities, and Hite and Tall Oaks each disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities in excess of the amount of their respective pecuniary interests in such securities.
